Rohm: I move to recommend approval to the City Council of file number CPA 08-004 as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of August 7th, 2008, and continued to today's date. End of motion. O'Brien: Second. Moe: It's been moved and seconded to forward onto City Council approval of CPA 08- 004 for Meridian and Amity. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? That motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 13: Continued Public Hearing from August 7, 2008: CPA 08-009 Request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to modify the Future Land Use Map by changing the designation of approximately 9 acres from Medium Density Residential to High Density Residential for Biskay by Greg Johnson -south side of Hams Street, west of S. Meridian Road (SH 69) and north of W. Amity Road: Moe: At this time I'd like to open the hearing for CPA 08-009 for Biskay for deliberations. O'Brien: I just had down that it's too dense next to a mixed use area in my notes. High density is -- the density is too high and that I think my notes were that I was not in favor of that as written. I think that was the one that the city wanted to make a commercial park out of that -- or a regional park. A community park I mean. Newton-Huckabay: There was some questions on a park -- on a community park. I made the argument that -- or based my decision on the argument that the mixed use regional would create the transition to the currently -- current medium density residential designation and that going to high density would be going the other direction. I move to recommend denial to City Council of file number CPA 08-009 as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of August 7, 2008, for the following reasons: That the designation of high density residential is deemed inappropriate in that area and that the afore proposed mixed use regional would create an appropriate transition to the currently designated medium density residential. Marshall: Second. Moe: It's been moved and seconded to forward on denial of CPA 08-009 for Biskay. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? That motion for denial is approved. Meridian Planning 8 Zoning Special Meeting August 14, 2008 Page 46 of 49 MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 14: Continued Public Hearing from August 7, 2008: CPA 08-007 Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment to modify the Future Land Use Map by changing the land use designation from Medium Density Residential to Mixed Use -Community for approximately 10 acres for Zamzows Chinden by JR, LLC -south side of Chinden Boulevard, approximately'/ mile east of Meridian Road: Moe: At this time I'd like to open the hearing for CPA 08-007 for Zamzows on Chinden for deliberations. Marshall: I was pretty tom -- Mr. Chair, I was pretty tom over this. I mean I can see the -- it's kind of landlocked there, would like to see that area developed, but to be honest, seeing traffic left-ins and right-ins, right-outs, and there will be a lot of traffic coming in, left-in off of Chinden into that, I just can't support due to the access. Rohm: And I feel quite the opposite. I think that it is currently being used as a commercial property, even though it's not within the city, and to deny the use that it's currently being used for, just because it's becoming -- would be coming into the city, just is -- doesn't not make any sense to me. So, I think that it should be allowed to have the designation the application's been made for. Marshall: May I respond to that -- Moe: Yes, Mr. Marshall. Yes, you may. Marshall: -- just very quickly? My issue was that if it continued being used as it is, I would not have a problem. My problem is they want to add additional retail and significant amount of multi-family and residential that would add very significant traffic volumes to that access. Therein lies my problem. O'Brien: Mr. Chair? Moe: Mr. O'Brien. O'Brien: May I respond to that? I believe they made some mention of other access points coming in off of Meridian Road to that residential area a stub street or something that was going to go to the backside of that for access residents that was proposed. Newton-Huckabay: That was -- O'Brien: I remember -- Newton-Huckabay: That was the city's proposal that it -- when this property redeveloped in the future that access would come up through Arcadia or Meridianna.
