I-L to the C-G zoning district. No new development or uses are proposed at this time.
g. Applicant's Statement/Justification (reference submittal material): Taken from the applicant's
narrative, "When the property was originally zoned I-L many years ago, the growth and extent of
retail uses along Eagle Road were not anticipated. Since then it has become apparent that retail
and office uses offer an attractive buffer between Eagle Road and the industrial uses back from
the street. As a major entry corridor in Meridian, office and retail uses, with the higher design
standards, should be the desired use to provide an attractive impression for residents and visitors."
See applicant's narrative submitted with the application for more information.

7. COMMENTS MEETING
On October 16, 2008, a joint agency and departments meeting was held with service providers in this
area. The agencies and departments present included: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Public
Works Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. Staff has included comments, conditions,
and recommended actions in Exhibit B below.
8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND COALS
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as "Industrial." The
land use categories and locations depicted on the map are conceptual. For this reason, the Planning
Director has determined that the proposed C-G zoning district is generally consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan because of the adjacent commercial uses and zoning to the north and east of the
Lanark Property RZ-08-006 Page 3
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 6, 2008
subject property and because of the property's location on Eagle Road. Further, Planzung Staff
believes that commercial uses are more appropriate than industrial uses adjacent to transportation
corridors such as Eagle Road for aesthetic reasons. For this reason, an amendment to the future land
use map is not requested nor is it considered necessary by the Planning Director for the rezone request
to the C-G zoning district. However, the Commission and Council should also determine if the
applicant's request is appropriate and in the best interest of the City.
Staff finds that the request generally conforms to the stated purpose and intent of the Comprehensive
Plan. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and
apply to the prnposed use (staff analysis in italics):
• "Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets." (Chapter VII, Goal
1V, Objective D, Action item 2)
Although the subject property is located adjacent to Eagle Road, an arterial street, no new
access points are proposed or approved to Eagle Road with this application. Access to the
site exists from Lanark Street.
• "Permit new ...commercial development only where urban services can be reasonably
provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City." (Chapter
IV, Goal I, Obj. A, #6)
This property is already within the City aril sanitary sewer- arzd water have already been
provided to this site.
• "Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the Impact Area." (Chapter
VII, Goal 1, Objective B)
Staff believes that rezoning this property to C-G will contribute to the variety of uses in this
part of the City and will serve as an aesthetic buffer between Eagle Road and the industrial
uses to the west of this site.
• Encourage compatible uses to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land. (Chapter Vll,
Goal N)
The area surrounding this property consists of -industrial and commercial uses. Staff -believes
that the proposed commercial use of this property will be compatible with other existing
commercial uses adjacent to Eagle Road.
Staff believes that the proposed C-G zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is
compatible with the surrounding uses. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on
any verbal or written testimony that may be provided at the public hearing when determining if the
applicant's request is appropriate for this property.
9. ZONING ORDINANCE
a. Allowed Uses in Commercial Districts: UDC Table 11-28-2 lists the permitted, accessory, and
conditional uses in the C-G zoning district.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the commercial districts is to provide for the retail
and service needs of the community in accord with the Meridian comprehensive plan. Four
districts (C-N, C-C, C-G, and L-O) are designated which differ in the size and scale of
commercial structures accomttaodated in the district, the scale and mix of allowed commercial
uses, and the location of the district in proximity to streets and highways.

10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of facts Leading to Staff Reconunendation: Staff is generally suppurtive of llie
proposed RZ request as presented in the staff report, with the following comments:
Rezone (RZ): Tlie applicant is requesting to re~unc 2.20 acres from the I-L to the C-G zoning
district in order to market the site for commercial uses. No new development or uses are proposed
on the subject property at this time. The property's current I-L zoning allows for industrial type
uses. Currently, the multi-tenant building houses a bedding and mattress company (Sleep with
Grace); the rest of the tenant spaces are vacant. The tenant space for the mattress company
consists of approximately 9,000 square feet; 6,000 square feet of which is used for a retail
showroom. As it currently operates, the mattress company would be a permitted use in the
proposed C-G district. If the rezone is approved, the applicant would be required to apply for a
Certificate of Zoning Compliance for a change in use, prior to commencement of a new use.
The subject property consists of two lots (Lots 1 & 2, Block 2) in Olson & Bush Industrial Park.
A Record of Survey (ROB) (#7190) was recorded in 2005 that changed the configuration of the
lot lines to its current configuration. The ROS depicts the northwest property as Parcel A and the
southeast property as Farcel B.
The legal description for the proposed rezone submitted with the application (prepared on
October 4, 2007, by Timothy J. Fox, PLS) shows the property within the existing corporate
boundary of the City of Meridian (see Exhibit C).
Future Uses: UDC Table 11-213-2 lists the permtted, accessory, and conditional uses in the C-G
zoning district. Staff has reviewed the list of allowable uses in the C-G district and believes all are
acceptable uses for this site except for a drinking establishment. Staff believes that the site is too
small and does not have enough off-street parking to accommodate this type of use. For this
reason, Staff is recommending a DA provision that a drinking establishment use be
prohibited on the site.
Access: Access to the site is provided from Eagle Road via Lanark Street. No new access points
to this site are requested or approved with this application. Direct access to Eagle Road is
prohibited.
Parking: In commercial districts, the UDC (11-3C-6) requires one vehicle space to be provided
for every 500 square feet of gross floor area. The existing structures on the site consist of 18,676
square feet collectively. Therefore 37 parking spaces are required per UDC requirements; 69
parking spaces (including 3 compact spaces) are provided on the site. The existing parking
exceeds that required by the UDC.
Trash Enclosure: There is an existing trash enclosure on the site that is enclosed by a chain link
fence with slats for screening. The UDC does not allow slats as a screening material or chain link
fencing in commercial districts. Staff is including a DA provision for the Applicant to
construct a trash enclosure around the dumpster that complements the overall design of the
buildings on the site so that the visual impact of the dumpster is fully contained and out of
view.
Sidewalks: Currently, there is not a sidewalk adjacent to Lanark Street. The UDC (11-3A-17)
requires a minimum 5-foot wide sidewalk to be constructed on the south side of Lanark along the
northern boundary of this site. Staff is including a DA provision for the applicant to construct
a sidewalk adjacent to Lanark Street in accordance with the aforementioned standards.
Multi-Use Pathway: All developments adjacent to State Highway 55 (Eagle Road) are required
to construct a 10-foot wide multi-use pathway adjacent to the state highway in compliance with
UDC 11-3H-4C3. Staff is including a DA provision for the applicant to construct a 10-foot
Lanark Property RZ-08-006 Page 5
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE H):ARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 6, 2008
wide pathway on the west side of Eagle Road along the full length of the east boundary of
the subject property. Said pathway shall be constructed within the right-of--way or a public
use easement and street lights shall be installed consistent with the Eagle Road Corridor
Study. Coordinate the exact location of the pathway with ITD staff.
Landscaping: The site development plan submitted by the applicant depicts current tree/bush
locations; however, is not a detailed plan (does not show a plant schedule). Per UDC 11-SB-1,
with the establisluneut of a Ilcw use, the applicant is required to comply with current UDC
development standards. Staff has visited the site and reviewed the site development plan
submitted with this application and found the existing landscaping does not comply with many of
the current standards such as:
Typically, a 35-foot. wide landscaped street buffer would be required along Eagle Road,
an entryway corridor. However, in this case, the Idaho Transportation Department does
not encourage landscaping within the right-of--way because it may need to be removed
because of highway improvements and/or maintenance (see letter from ITD in Exhibit
A.4). They (ITD) da not replace or repair the landscaping in these instances. Further,
landscaping within the right-of--way requires maintenance and this would need to be done
by someone other then ITD personnel and they prefer not to have non-ITD personnel
working in the right-of--way. Landscaping within the right-of--way requires approval of a
permit to do so; however, ITD discourages this if possible. Fnr this reason, staff is not
requiring the applicant to install landscaping within the buffer adjacent to Eagle Road.
The entire buffer width is still required for setback purposes, but landscaping is not
required.
Per UDC Table 11-2D-3, a 10-foot wide street buffer is required along Lanark Street in
compliance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7 and 11-3B-5. A buffer currently
exists on the site; however, additional landscaping (trees and vegetative groundcover)
is required in compliance with the aforementioned sections of the UDC.
Parking lot landscaping is required in accordance with the standards listed in UDC 11-
3B-7. Staff has reviewed the site development plan and several additional trees are
required to be installed within the planter islands and perimeter landscape buffer along
with vegetative groundcover to meet current UDC standards. Required landscape areas
are required to be at least 70% covered with vegetation at maturity with mulch used
under and around the plants; gravel is not allowed as mulch. Rem.nve and replace
some/all of the gravel with vegetative groundcover in accordance with the
aforementioned requirement. Additionally, all planter islands shall be a minimum of S
feet in width, measure inside curbs and planter islands shall be placed at the ends of
rows of parking; one planter island, located at the southeast corner of the multi-tenant
building, is below the required width.
A revised site/landscape plan that meets current UDC standards as discussed above and as
detailed fn the UDC, should be submitted with any Conditional Use Permit or Certificate of
Zoning Compliance application for the change is use of this site.
Elevations: Elevations of the existing buildings were submitted with this application and are
included as Exhibit A.3 in this report.
Design Standards: Because this site is located adjacent to an entryway corridor, it is subject to
the design standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19C. The applicant is required to submit a Design
Review application with any future development application (Conditional Use Permit or
Certificate of Zoning Compliance) for this site.
Lanark Yroperiy RL-U8-U06 Yagc 6
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER b, 2008
Certificate of Zoning Compliance: The purpose of a Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC)
permit is to ensure that all construction, alterations and/or the establishment of a new use
complies with all of the provisions of the UDC before any work on the structure is started and/or
the use is established (UDC 11-SB-lA). To ensure that all of the DA provisions listed in
Exhibit B are complied with, the Applicant will be required to ubtain CZC approval from
the Planning Department prior to establishment of the new use. All improvements must be
installed prior to occupancy. Because this site is located adjacent to an entryway corridor,
compliance with the design standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19C is required. Design Review
approval should be requested concurrently with the CZC application.
Development Agreement: UDC 11-SB-3D2 provides the Planning & Zoning Commission and
City Council the authority to require a property owner to enter into a Development Agreement
(DA) with the City of Meridian that may require some written commitment for all future uses. In
this instance, staff believes that a Development Agreement is necessary because a specific
land use is not proposed at this time and to ensure that this property is developed in a
fashion that is consistent with the comprehensive plan and does not negatively impact
nearby properties. If the Commission or Council feel that additional development agreement
provisions are necessary, staff recommends a clear outline of the commitments of the developer
being required.
Prior to rezone ordinance approval, a DA shall be entered into between the City of Meridian,
property owner (at the time of rezone ordinance adoption), and the developer. The applicant shall
contact the City Attorzrey, Bill Nary, at 898-5506 to initiate this process. The DA shall
incorporate at Ieast the following:
• Allowed uses on the subject property shall be as listed in UDC Table 11-2B-2 for the C-
Gdistrict, except that drinking establishment uses shall be prohibited.
• Anew trash exxclosure shall be constructed around the dumpster that complements the
overall design of the buildings on the site sa that the visual impact of the dumpster is
fully contained and out of view from adjacent propcrtias aixd public streets (UDC 11-3A-
12B). Chuinlink fencing, with or without slats does not qualify as a screening material,
per UDC 11-3B-SM.
• Construct a minimum 5-foot wide sidewalk adjacent to Lanark Street along the north
boundary of this site in accordance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-17.
• Construct a 10-foot wide multi-use pathway on the west side of Eagle Road along the full
length of the east boundary of the subject property, per i7DC 1 1-3H-4C3. Said pathwa.y',
shall be constructed within the right-of--way or a public use easement and street lights
shall be installed consistent with the Eagle Road Corridor Study. Coordinate the exact
location of the pathway with l~l~D staff.
• With the establishment of a new use(s) on this site, the applicant shall comply with all
current UDC standards.
• The Fire Department requires any roadway greater than 150 feet in length that is not
provided with an outlet to have an approved turn around. Currently, the site does not have
an approved turn around. The applicant shall submit written approval from the Fire
Department of an approved turn around with submittal of the Certificate of Zoning
Compliance application.
• A Design Review application shall be submitted with any future development application
(Conditional Use Permit or Certificate of Zoning Compliance) for this site.
