Newton-Huckabay: Second.
Moe: It's been moved and seconded to approve the Consent Agenda. All those in favor
say aye. Opposed? That motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Moe: Before I open our first public hearing tonight, good to see that we have got some
folks in the audience tonight. Thank you very much for coming. Basically, I want to just
kind of give you a rundown for the format that we go through here. I will open the public
hearing. At that time the staff will give a brief overview of the hearing. After they are
done, then, I will, then, ask the applicant to come forward. The applicant will have 15
minutes to, basically, explain their position on their project, whether they -- they are
asking for additional help or whether or not they are in approval of everything. After the
applicant is done there are sign-up sheets in the back for anyone that wants to come
forward and speak on this hearing. You would get three minutes time at that time.
Once everyone on the list has been taken care of I will, then, ask one more time if there
is anyone else in the audience that would like to speak to this hearing and they, too,
would also get three minutes. After that's all done I will, then, ask the applicant to come
back up and, basically, answer any questions that may have been asked during the
public hearings or rebut any other information that was talked about. So, after that time,
then, the Commission, then, would vote and decide how to go from there.

Meadows by City of Meridian Planning Department -various properties in
Dove Meadows Subdivision Nos. 1 and 2 zoned L-O:
Moe: So, having said that, then, I would now like to open the public hearing on RZ 09-
001 for Dove Meadows, start with the staff report, please.
Wafters: Thank you, Chairman, Commissioners. The first application is a rezone of
7.53 acres of land from L-O, limited office, to R-8, medium density residential. The
property is located north of Fairview off of Hickory Way, midway between Locust Grove
and Eagle Road. The properties consist of 25 single family residential lots and two
common lots in Dove Meadows Subdivision No. 1 and 2. Surrounding uses are single
family residential properties and a church, Capitol Christian. A future land use map
designation for these properties is medium density residential, which is consistent with
the proposed R-8 zoning. A little history on these properties. All of these lots have
been developed with single family homes. The residential use of these properties was
authorized under a previously approved planned development, which allowed
residential uses in the L-O district. Because residential use of these properties lawfully
existed prior to the effective date of the current UDC, 9/15 of '05, the use and structures
are considered nonconforming per UDC 11-1B-1, as residential uses are prohibited in
the L-O district. As such, the use is allowed to continue as long as the use remains
lawful, is not expanded or extended subject to the provisions listed in UDC 11-1B-4.
The nonconforming structures maybe be enlarged, repaired, or modified, provided that
the additions or modifications to the structure conform to the requirement listed in UDC
11-16-5. The purpose of the amendment is to remove the nonconforming status of the
properties and zone them the same as the rest of the lots in residential sub -- or, excuse
me, Dove Meadows Subdivision, zoned R-8. No written testimony has been received
on this application. Staff is recommending approval of the rezone with the conditions in
the staff report. Staff will stand for any questions the Commissioners may have at this
time.
Moe: Thank you. Any questions of staff?
Newton-Huckabay: I have none.
Moe: Okay. None? I'm going to confuse everyone, because the city was not only the --
talking about it, they were the applicant for this as well. So, there will be no applicant
coming forward now, but we do have a couple of folks that were signed up. First would
be Carol Hall is it? Do you want to come forward? Okay. From the audience she's
fine. Donald? And I assume from the audience he's fine as well, so -- all right. Well,
that was easy enough. Well, at that point now, if there is anyone else in the audience
that would like to speak to this hearing now, you're more than welcome to come
forward. None of the scouts? All right. Well, I gave you a shot. So, Commissioners?
Rohm: Mr. Chairman?
Moe: Commissioner Rohm.
