Way and terminate in a cul-de-sac. See Analysis, Section 10, below for Staff's analysis of the
proposed access to the site.
VU. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
This site is designated as "Mixed Employment" on the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan
Future Land Use Map. Per the Specific Area Plan (page 3-11), "The purpose of the Mixed
Employment areas is to encourage a diversity of compatible land uses that may include a mixture of
office, research and specialized employment areas, light industrial including manufacturing and
assembly, and other miscellaneous uses. These areas generally do not include retail and consumer
service uses serving the wider community. However, a small amount of retail and service
establishments, primarily serving employees and users of the Mixed Employment areas or nearby
industrial areas, are allowed. Such retail would be the exception and not the rule. Buildings in this
category are anticipated to range in height from 1-4 stories, have total floor areas of 10,000-1,000,000
square feet, and floor to area ratios (FAR) will exceed 0.75."
Future development will be required to be consistent with the stated purpose, intent, and standards of
the Mixed Employment land use category within the Ten Mile Specific Area Plan. Staff finds the
following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the development
of this property (staff analysis in italics):
• Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1 - Require that development projects have planned
for the provision of all public services.
The City of Meridian plans to provide municipal services to the lands proposed to be annexed in
the following manner:
➢ Sanitary sewer and water service will be extended to the project at the developer's expense.
➢ The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Meridian Rural Fire District.
Once annexed the lands will be under the jurisdiction of the Meridian City Fire Department,
who currently shares resource and personnel with the Meridian Rural Fire Department.
➢ The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Ada County Sheriffs Office.
Once annexed the lands will be serviced by the Meridian Police Department (MPD).
➢ The roadways adjacent to the subject lands are currently owned and maintained by the Ada
County Highway District (ACHD). This service will not change.
➢ The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian School District No. 2. This service
will not change.
➢ The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian Library District. This service will
not change and the Meridian Library District should suffer no revenue loss as a result of the
subject annexation.
Municipal, fee -supported, services will be provided by the Meridian Building Department, the
Meridian Public Works Department, the Meridian Water Department, the Meridian Wastewater
Department, the Meridian Planning Department, Meridian Utility Billing Services, and Sanitary
Services Company.
Chapter V, Goal III, Objective D, Action 5 — Require all commercial and industrial businesses to
install and maintain landscaping.
Street buffer landscaping and internal parking lot landscaping will be required with future
development of this site. All landscaping shall be installed and maintained on the site in
accordance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B or the standards in effect at the time of
development.
Southridge 31 AZ-08-016
PAGE 3
• Chapter V, Goal III, Objective B, Action 8 -- Require all developments adjacent to designated
entryway corridors to provide a minimum of 35 feet of high quality, professional landscaping on
the site adjacent to the roadway.
Upon development of this site, the developer will be required to construct landscape buffers
along Ten Mile Road and Overland Road both entryway corridors into the City, and along1--84,
in accordance with the street buffer standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C or the standards in effect
at the time of development.
• Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action 2 — Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors
and arterial streets.
While there is no development proposed at this time, future development will provide one access
to/from this site to/from Ten Mile Road via W. Tasa Drive, a proposed public street and to/from
the newly aligned Overland Road via Market Square Way, a proposed public street. No other
access points are proposed or approved to/from this site via Ten Mile Road or Overland Road.
• Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 12 (page 85) — Develop methods, such as cross -access
agreements, frontage roads, to reduce the number of existing access points onto arterial streets.
With the redevelopment of this site, the applicant is proposing to provide a public stub street
(W. Tasa Drive) to the property to the east for future interconnectivity, which should assist in
reducing the number of access points onto Overland Road, an arterial street.
• Chapter VII, Goal I — Ensure a variety and balance of land uses to support the Meridian Impact
Area.
Staff believes that the type and mix of commercial/industrial uses (i.e. corporate & business
offices; research facilities & laboratories; light industrial uses including manufacturing &
assembly; and occasional, complementary uses which focus on serving area employees & users,
such as business services, child care, and convenience retail) encouraged in the ME designation
will provide a variety of employment opportunities and services within the impact area and
possibly to the future residents of Southridge Subdivision to the south.
VHL UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
A. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) 11-2B-2 lists the permitted, accessory, and
conditional uses in the M-E zoning district. Allowed uses in the M-E district are offices, medical
centers, research and development facilities, and light industrial uses with ancillary support
services.
B. Purpose Statement of Zone: Per UDC 11-213-1, "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 are designated which differ in the size and scale of
commercial structures accommodated in the district, the scale and mix of allowed commercial
uses, and the location of the district proximity to streets and highways."
C. Dimensional Standards: Future development of the subject property shall comply with the
dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-213-3 for the proposed M-E zoning district in effect
at the time of development.
D. Landscaping
I. Width of street buffer(s): UDC Table 11-213-3 currently requires a 50-foot wide landscape
buffer adjacent to I-84; a 35-foot wide landscape buffer adjacent to S. Ten Mile Road and W.
Overland Road, both entryway corridors; a 20-foot wide landscape buffer adjacent to W. Tasa
Southridge 31 AZ-08-016 PAGE 4
Drive and Market Square Way, if classified as collector streets; and a 10-foot wide landscape
buffer adjacent to W. Old Market Court if classified as a local street. The applicant shall
comply with current UDC standards in effect at the time of development.
2. Width of buffer(s) between land uses: The applicant is required to comply with the design
guidelines contained in the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan.
3. Percentage of site as open space: NA
4. Tree Preservation: Mitigation is required for all existing healthy trees 4-inch caliper or greater
that are removed from the site with equal replacement of the total calipers lost on site up to an
amount of 100% replacement.
E. Off -Street Parking: Not applicable as no development is proposed at this time; however, off-street
parking is depicted on the concept plan. Future development shall comply with the standards set
forth in UDC 11-3C-6B for commercial districts.
IX. ANALYSIS
Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
The annexation legal description submitted with the application (stamped on December 12,
2008 by Hugh Edwards, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate
boundary of the City of Meridian.
Dimensional Standards: Development of the site is required to comply with the dimensional
standards of the M-E district listed in UDC Table 11-2B-3. There is no required front, rear, or
side setback. However, where a landscape buffer is required, buildings shall be set back at least
the minimum width of the buffer.
Conceptual Development Plan: The applicant has submitted a conceptual development plan
showing how the site may develop in the future; however, the applicant has stated that it is for
illustrative purposes only and that future concept and development plans will be submitted based
on the market and economic conditions.
The concept plan depicts 14 building pads; drive aisles for circulation within the site; off-street
parking; the extension of Tasa Drive (a public street that exists across Ten Mile Road to the west)
through the site to the east property boundary; and Market Square Way, a public street proposed
to connect Tasa Drive to the new alignment of Overland Road south of this site. Two round-
abouts are depicted on the plan to enhance traffic flow within the site. Another public street, W.
Old Market Court, is shown in the current location of Overland Road extending from Market
Square Way to the west midway along the south boundary of the site ending in a cul-de-sac with
a driveway access to the north into the site.
Because the applicant has noted that the concept plan is only for illustrative purposes, Staff is
highlighting certain aspects of the plan that we recommend be incorporated into a future plan for
the site, as follows: 1) provide a round -about for more efficient circulation at the intersection of
Market Square Way and Tasa Drive; 2) locate structures adjacent to streets with parking at the
rear and sides of the structure; 3) provide a stub street at the east property boundary for future
interconnectivity and to reduce access points to Overland Road; and 4) provide a public plaza
area within the site generally along an axial alignment with any large structure or framed by a
configuration of smaller structures and as a focal point to the development in an area (size)
proportional to the development; and 5) provide a vehicular and pedestrian connection from the
cul-de-sac at W. Old Market Court to W. Tasa Drive.
Southridge 31 AZ-08-016 PAGE 5
Existing Structures: There are existing structures on this site, which the applicant proposed to
remove prior to development. The concept plan depicts the existing dairy barn and silos,
however, they are proposed to be removed.
Building Elevations/Design Standards: The Applicant did not submit conceptual building
elevations or architectural guidelines for future buildings to be constructed on this site. However,
the applicant has stated that future development will comply with current design standards and
the Ten Mile Specific Area plan.
Existing Landscaping: There are a lot of large existing trees over 4" caliper that exist on the site.
Per UDC 11-3B-IOC, mitigation is required for all existing healthy trees 4-inch caliper or greater
that are removed from the site with equal replacement of the total calipers lost on site up to an
amount of 100% replacement. The applicant shall contact Elroy Huff, City Arborist, at 888-3579
prior to removing any trees from the site to determine the amount of mitigation required for this
site.
Access: The conceptual development plan submitted with this application shows one public
street access (W. Tasa Drive) to Ten Mile Road and another (Market Square Way) to the future
re -aligned W. Overland Road south of the site.
The new Ten Mile interchange project is adjacent to this site on the north and west boundaries.
After the interchange is constructed, Overland Road (in its current location at Ten Mile Road) is
intended to be converted to a right-in/right-out until the construction of Tasa/Market Square is
complete through the site.
As part of the Ten Mile interchange construction project, the Idaho Transportation Department
(ITD) plans to reconstruct Tasa Drive further to the north on the west side of Ten Mile Road and
extend Tasa to the east side of Ten Mile Road under the approach ramp through the subject site to
the junction of Tasa Drive/Market Square Way and south (Market Square Way) to the existing
Overland Road. Right-of-way (ROW) has already been obtained for the construction of
Tasa/Market Square to the existing Overland Road location; right-of-way has not yet been
obtained from the existing Overland to the future realignment of Overland. If ROW is obtained
between the existing Overland and future Overland locations prior to the construction of
Tasa/Market Square through the subject site, ITD will construct Market Square to the newly
aligned Overland. Once Tasa/Market Square has been constructed to the newly aligned Overland,
the existing Overland access to Ten Mile will be removed and access will be terminated. If ROW
is not obtained prior to construction, ITD will improve Overland Road in its current location from
Market Square west to the Ten Mile intersection.
As of the date of this report, ACHD has not submitted comments on this application.
Certificate of Zoning Compliance: The applicant will need to apply for a Certificate of Zoning
Compliance for approval of future structures and uses proposed on the site. All future
development shall comply with current design standards, provisions of the UDC, and the Ten
Mile Specific Area Plan.
Development Agreement: UDC 11-5B-3.D.2 and Idaho Code § 65-6711A provides the City
the authority to require a property owner to enter into a Development Agreement (DA) with the
City that may require some written commitment for all future uses. Staff believes that a DA is
necessary to ensure that this property is developed in a fashion that is consistent with the
comprehensive plan and does not negatively impact nearby properties. Prior to annexation
ordinance approval, a Development Agreement (DA) shall be entered into between the City of
Meridian, property owner (at the time of annexation ordinance adoption), and the developer. The
applicant shall contact the City Attorney, Bill Nary, at 898-5506 to initiate this process. Said DA
Southridge 31 AZ-08-016 PAGE 6
shall be completed within 1 year of City Council action. The DA shall incorporate the
provisions noted in Exhibit B.

D. Required Findings from Unified Development Code
1. Annexation Findings:
Upon recommendation from the Commission, the Council shall make a full investigation
and shall, at the public hearing, review the application. In order to grant an annexation
and/or rezone, the Council shall make the following findings:
A. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive
plan;
The applicant is proposing to zone all the subject property M-E; the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map designation for this property is Mixed Employment. Staff finds
that the proposed zoning map amendment complies with the future land use map
designation for the property and the applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan.
Please see Comprehensive Plan Policies and Goals, Section VII, of the Staff Report for
more information.
B. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed
district, specifically the purpose statement;
Staff finds that future development of this property will be required to comply with the
purpose statement of the commercial districts and the established regulations of the M-E
zoning district.
C. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
and welfare;
Staff finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on
any oral or written testimony that may be provided when determining this finding.
D. The map amendment shall not result in an adverse impact upon the delivery of
services by any political subdivision providing public services within the City
including, but not limited to, school districts; and,
Staff finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not result in any adverse impact
upon the delivery of services by any political subdivision providing services to this site.
E. The annexation is in the best of interest of the City (UDC 11-5B-3.E).
Staff finds that all essential services are available or will be provided by the developer to
the subject property and will not require unreasonable expenditure of public funds. The
applicant will be required to develop the land in general compliance with the City's
Comprehensive Plan. This is a logical expansion of the City limits. In accordance with
the findings listed above, staff finds that Annexation and Zoning of this property to
M-E would be in the best interest of the City if a Development Agreement is
required with the provisions noted in the staff report.
