VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
This site is designated as "Public/Quasi-Public" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map.
Per Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, public/quasi-public areas are designated to preserve and
protect existing private, municipal, state, and federal lands for area residents and visitors. This
category includes churches and public lands (excluding parks and schools) within the Area of Impact.
King's Congregation Church AZ-08-014 PAGE 3
Staff finds that the development request generally conforms to the stated purpose, intent, and
standards of the public/quasi-public land use category within the Comprehensive Plan. Staff finds the
following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the proposed use
(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 Sheriff's 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 (ACRD). 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 VII, Goal N, Objective C, Action 1 -Protect existing residential properties from
incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels.
Staff believes that the use of the property for a church is compatible with the future school and
existing and future residential uses adjacent to the site because of the nature of the use.
Additionally, a 20 foot wide landscape buffer is required and will be provided adjacent to
existing and future residential properties to lessen the impact on adjacent neighbors from the
church use of the property.
• 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 is depicted on the master concept
plan for the proposed project. All landscaping shall be installed and maintained on the site in
accordance with the standards listed in UDC I1-3B.
• Chapter VII, Goal N, Objective D, Action 2 -Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors
and arterial streets.
Access to the site is provided from E. Pienza Street (a local street) in Tuscany Village
Subdivision; no access to Victory Road (an arterial street) is proposed or approved with this
application. The existing access points to Victory will be required to be closed upon annexation
of the site.
• Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective D, Action 7 -Permit schools, churches, and other public and quasi
public uses in rural areas, that are compatible with adjacent uses.
King's Congregation Church AZ-08-014 PAGE 4
Staff believes the church would be a compatible use with the future school and existing and future
residential uses that surround the site due to the hours of use and operation.
Chapter VII, Goal I - Ensure a variety and balance of land uses to support the Meridian Impact
Area.
Staff is unaware of any other churches within the general vicinity of this property. Therefore, staff
believes the church will contributes to the variety of uses in this area of the city and provides a
needed service to area residents.
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
A. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) 11-2B-2 lists the permitted, accessory, and
conditional uses in the L-O zoning district. Church uses are listed as principal permitted uses in
the L-O 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 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: The subject property shall comply with the dimensional standards listed
in UDC 11-2B-3 for the proposed L-O zoning district.
D. Landscaping
1. Width of street buffer(s): 25 feet adjacent to E. Victory Road, a minor arterial street; and 10-
feet adjacent to Mesa Way, a local street
2. Width of buffer(s) between land uses: 20 feet adjacent to residential uses
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. The application states that no trees are proposed to be
removed from the site.
E. Off-Street Parking: UDC 11-3C-6 requires one off-street vehicle parking space for every 500
square feet of gross floor area in commercial districts. The existing building square footage
depicted on the site plan is 7,000 square feet. Based on this amount, 14 parking stalls would be
required; 41 are proposed, which complies with and exceeds this requirement. Additionally, per
UDC 11-3C-6G, one bicycle parking space is required for every 25 proposed vehicle parking
spaces or portion thereof. Therefore, a bicycle rack capable of holding a minimum of 2 bicycles is
required.
Staff recommends that the Commission acrd Council rely on any verbal or written testimony that
may be provided at the public hearing when determining if the applicant's zoning and
development request is appropriate for this property.
IX. ANALYSIS
Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
The Applicant is requesting approval to annex and zone 2.74 acres of land from the R1 zoning
district in Ada County to the L-O zoning district in the City. King's Congregation Church is
currently operating in the existing 7,000 square foot building on the site and proposes to continue
King's Congregation Church AZ-08-014 PAGE 5
to operate at the subject site once the property is annexed. The property is currently designated on
the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map as Public/Quasi-Public. The church use of the
property and L-O zoning district are compatible with this designation.
The proposed annexation area consists of one tax parcel currently owned by Locust Grove
Grange #118. The applicant has entered into an option to purchase the property contingent upon
the property being annexed into the City.
The annexation legal description submitted with the application (stamped on December 18,
2008 by Aaron L. Ballard, 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 L-O district listed in UDC Table 11-2B-3. There is no required front, rear, or
side setback. However, if a landscape buffer is required, buildings shall be set back the
minimum width of the buffer.
Conceptual Master Plan: A conceptual master plan has been submitted with this application,
dated 11/18/08 that depicts the existing two-story 7,000 square foot building and a future 42,500
square foot building to be constructed in a second phase.
The first phase of development is proposed to include removal of the existing access points to
Victory Road, construction of a 41-space paved parking lot with an emergency turnaround for the
Fire Department off of Pienza Street, and the installation of a landscape street buffer along
Victory Road and pressurized irrigation system.
The second phase of development is proposed to include at least 52 additional parking spaces, a
new structure and associated landscaping.
Conceptual Building Elevations: The Applicant has submitted conceptual building elevations
with this application that depict improvements to the existing wall surfaces and a future building
to be constructed with phase 2, included as Exhibits A.3 and A.4. Improvements to the existing
building to be constructed with phase 1 include stone veneer around the lower portion of the
building and new paint. The elevations for the future building depict stone veneer to match the
proposed improvements to the existing building and a blue metal roof, also to match.
Design Standards: Future development of this site shall comply with the current design
standards in effect at the time of development.
Existing Landscaping: There are several existing trees over 4" caliper that exist on the site. The
applicant states that they intend to retain all of the existing trees with development of the site.
Sidewalks/Pathways: The conceptual master plan depicts a new meandering sidewalk along E.
Victory Road within the street buffer that connects with the sidewalk in Tuscany Village
Subdivision. The Comprehensive Plan (page 55) requires detached sidewalks along all arterial
streets within the City. Thus, the proposed sidewalk is consistent with the aforementioned
comprehensive plan policy.
A sidewalk is proposed through the site in alignment with the sidewalk on the north side of E.
Pienza Street for pedestrian connectivity to the school site and between the existing and future
residential developments to the east and west. The City's Master Pathways Plan does not depict a
multi-use pathway planned for this site.
Access: Currently this site has two access points to/from Victory Road; once annexed, the
applicant shall remove all access points to Victory Road and access shall be prohibited. A stub
street (E. Pienza St.) exists at the east boundary of this site from Tuscany Village Subdivision
from which access is proposed. An emergency vehicle turnaround is depicted on the site plan at
King's Congregation Church AZ-08-O14 PAGE 6
the terminus of Pienza Street; ACHD is not requiring Pienza to be extended to Mesa Way. Drive
aisles are proposed for internal access. No access is proposed to Mesa Way. ACRD and planning
staff are supportive of the proposed access for the site.
Fencing: The conceptual master plan depicts a new 6-foot tall wood fence along the east
boundary of the site abutting Tuscany Village Subdivision. A 6-foot tall fence already exists at
this boundary; the applicant is not required to construct a second fence along this boundary.
Certificate of Zoning Compliance: The current church use of the property is not an existing
approved use in Ada County. (Staff was told by Sid Anderson at Ada County on 1/8/09 that no
permits had been approved for a change in use from the grange hall to a church for this site.)
Therefore, the applicant will need to apply for a Certificate of Zoning Compliance for approval of
a church use in the L-O district once the property is annexed, prior to issuance of Certificate of
Occupancy once annexed. The site shall be required to comply with all current code provisions of
the UDC.
Development Agreement: UDC 11-SB-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
shall be completed within 1 year of City Council action. The DA shall incorporate the
provisions noted in Exhibit B.
