PAGE 1 OF 16
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. A notice of a public hearing on the conditional use permit was published for two
(2) consecutive weeks prior to the said public hearing scheduled for August 5, 2003, before the
City Council, the first publication appearing and written notice having been mailed to property
owners or purchasers of record within three hundred feet (300') of the external boundaries of the
property under consideration more than fifteen (15) days prior to said hearing and with the notice
of public hearing having been posted upon the property under consideration more than one week
before said hearing and the copies of all notices were made available to newspaper, radio and

owners, and government subdivisions providing services within the planning jurisdiction of the
City of Meridian, having been given full opportunity to express comments and submit evidence.
2. There has been compliance with all notice and hearing requirements set forth in
Idaho Code §67-6509, 6512, and Meridian City Code §§ 11-15-5 and 11-17-5 as evidenced by
the Affidavit of Mailing, and the Affidavit of Publication and Proof of Posting filed with the staff

provisions of the Meridian City Code § 11-17-4, a public hearing was required before the City
Council on this application.

4. The property is located at 2950 East Magic View Drive, Meridian, Idaho, located
at the northwest corner of S. Allen Street and Magic View, within the recently platted Mystery
View Subdivision, Meridian, Idaho 83642. The following uses surround the subject property:
North -Mountain West Bank (within same business park), zoned L-O, and
Greenhill Estates Subdivision, zoned R-2 (Ada County)
South -Multi-tenant office/medical building, zoned C-G
East - Subway restaurant and vacant office lots, zoned L-O
West - Single-family residential, zoned RUT (Ada County)
5. The owner of record of the subject property is Magic View Partners of Boise,
Idaho, and they have provided notarized consent for Larson Architects to submit the subject
conditional use permit application.
6. Applicant is University of Phoenix, 46 B East Elwood Street, Ste. 160, Phoenix,
AZ 85040.
The subject property is currently zoned L-O (Limited Office) and is subject to a
recorded Development Agreement. The zoning district of L-O is defined within the City of
Meridian Zoning and Development Ordinance, Section 11-7-2. The subject property is located
in an L-O (Limited Office) zone. A Conditional Use Permit was granted under the name "Magic
View Office Complex" on 3-7-00 which allowed multiple buildings on a lot (for both five acre
parcels on either side of Allen.) A Development Agreement (Instrument No. 100021869, dated
3-23-00) is also in effect for the property which restricts all uses on the original ten (10) acres
approved under the CUP to professional office uses. Specifically, Section 4.1 on page 4 of the
Development Agreement states:
"The uses allowed pursuant to this Agreement are only those uses allowed under "City's"
Zoning Ordinance codified at MCC 11-7-2, which are herein specified as follows:
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF
LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING

PAGE 3 OF 16
Development of Limited Office."
Staff required a CUP application for the proposed use due to their interpretation that an
educational facility serving upwards of 100 students that operates until after 10:00 p.m. was not
compatible with a typical "professional or limited office" use, nor what the public would
anticipate to be standard office uses. A CUP application was also required as the use is not
specifically listed in the Schedule of Use Control. The building, Lincoln Plaza, cunrently has
professional office tenants and the exterior of the site, including all parking and landscaping,
would not be modified under the application. The CUP application is required solely for the type
of tenant and hours of operation: The existing lot improvements and building shell were
approved through the Certificate of Zoning Compliance process on January 16, 2001. This
entitlement allowed construction of a 30,352 sq. ft. single-story office building. The building
currently is occupied by three (3) different tenants.
8. The proposed application requests a conditional use permit for an educational
facility in a 9,058 sq. ft. tenant space in an existing building in an L-O zone for University of
Phoenix. The L-O zoning designation is within the City of Meridian Zoning and Development
Ordinance requires a conditional use permit be obtained for most uses including those requested
by the Applicant. (Meridian City Zoning and Development Ordinance, Section 11-8-1).
9. The proposed application is in compliance with the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan, which designates the subject property as "Office".
10. The use proposed within the subject application will in fact, constitute a
conditional use as determined by City Ordinance.
11. The Meridian City Council takes judicial notice of its Zoning, Subdivision and
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF
LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 4 OF 16
Development Ordinances codified at Titles 11 and 12, Meridian City Code and all cunent zoning
maps thereof and the Comprehensive Plan of the Ciry of Meridian, and Maps and the Ordinance
establishing the Impact Area Boundary.
12. Giving due consideration to the comment received from the governmental
subdivisions providing services in the City of Meridian planning jurisdiction public facilities and
services required by the proposed development will not impose expense upon the public if the
following conditions of development are imposed and the following is also found to be required
to mitigate the effects of the proposed use and development upon services delivered by political
subdivisions providing services to the subject real property within the planning jurisdiction of the
City of Meridian, subject to the following:
A. Adopt the Recommendations of the Planning and Zoning and Engineering staff as
follows:
The subject property shall cease instruction and any other activity open to the public at
10:00pm. The hours of operations shall be as follows:
Office Hours: Mon-Fri 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Closed Sat and Sun
Class Hours: Mon-Fri 5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (Disperse by 10:30 p.m.)
Sat 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Sunday closed
2. All parking for the subject use shall be on Lot 3, Block 1, of Mystery View Subdivision.
3. All exterior lighting, whether attached to the building or located within the parking lot, shall
be down-shielded or otherwise altered so that the light does not spill over onto adjacent
properties orright-of--way. All parking lot lighting shall be in accordance with Ordinance 11-
13-4C.
4. All signage shall be in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 11-14 of the City
Zoning and Development Ordinance. All new signage is subject to design review and shall
require separate permits. Temporary or portable signs shall be prohibited, and shall be
removed upon 3 days notice to the applicant.

5. All construction and site improvements shall conform to the requirements ofthe Americans
with Disabilities Act.
6. Any conditions added by the Planning & Zoning Commission or City Council pertaining to
the parking shall be complied with prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
B. Adopt the Recommendations of the Ada County Highway District as follows:
On September 26, 2001 the ACHD Commissioners acted on Mystery View Subdivision.
The conditions and requirements also apply to CUP-03-031, including driveway
locations, per their report dated June 20, 2003.
C. Adopt the Recommendations of the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District as follows:
All laterals and waste ways must be protected. All municipal surface drainage must be
retained on site. If any surface drainage leaves the site, the District must review drainage
plans.
2. The developer must comply with Idaho Code 31-3805.
D. Adopt the Recommendations of the Meridian Fire Department as follows:
All access roads leading into and within the project shall have a clear driving surface with a
minimum width of 20' available at all times. UFC 902.2.2.1
2, The project shall comply with the requirements of the Fire Code in effect at the time of the
tenant improvement.
13. It is found that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the required
use, as long as the university holds classes after normal office hours. Al] parking and
landscaping are already constructed in accordance with city code. The Certificate of Zoning
Compliance approving the Lincoln Plaza building shell showed 150 off-street parking stalls (76
required) - or approximately twice the required ratio, MCC 11-13-S.B does not call-out
"university" as a specific use. High schools require 10 pazking spaces for each classroom plus
one (1) for each auditorium seat, and professional offices requires one (1) space for each 400 sq.

ft. of gross floor area. MCC 11-13-S.B.8, Other Uses, states:
"For uses not listed in this Section, parking spaces shall be provided on the same basis as
required for the most similar listed use or as determined by the Commission."
It is recommended that a combination of office and school uses, as well as, common sense would
be determined in the required number of parking stalls. The "high school" calculation alone
would require 70 stalls and the "office" calculation alone would require 23 stalls. Alternatively,
if each of the seven (7) classrooms has an occupancy of 15 students and each classroom also has
one instructor, that would be a total of 112 people in this facility at one time. [Note that the 15
students is estimated from the seating shown on the floor plan and not a figure provided by the
applicant.]
Since no alternative transportation options serve the property and the majority of students will
likely drive, off-street parking spaces should be made available for the maximum number of
people anticipated at the facility during a peak hour. As long as classes are offered after normal
close of business (which the application states), it is believed the site exceeds the required
number of anticipated parking stalls.
14. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as "Office". It is
found that the proposed use is harmonious with the Comprehensive Plan. It is further found that
the proposed use is in compliance with the MCC.
15. The design, construction and maintenance of the facility exist and are not
anticipated to change if this use were approved. The operation of the facility would change in
that the number of vehicle trips generated by the use would substantially increase during the
normal after-business hours time period. The intended character of the subdivision to the north is

LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING

residential. Even though the lot to the west is existing residential, it is intended to become office
uses.
The Lincoln Plaza lot is approximately 230 feet and the building itself approximately 320 feet
from the neazest residential lot in Greenhill Estates. The application states that the last class will
end at 10:00 p.m. and the students would dispense by 10:30 p.m.
16. It is not anticipated that the proposed use, if strictly operated in accordance with
the application and this permit, will have an adverse affect on the other property in the vicinity.
17. It is found that the proposed development will be served adequately by the
essential public facilities and services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection,
drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, and sewer.
18. It is found that the proposed use will not create additional requirements at public
cost for public facilifies and service, and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the
community.
19. It is not anticipated that the proposed use will be detrimental to any persons,
property or the general welfaze.
20. The site has one existing curb cut off of Magic View Drive and one off of S. Allen
Street. These access points were approved by ACHD and the City of Meridian during the initial
building permit process. It is found that the proposed use will not create interference with traffic
on the surrounding public streets.
21. It is found that the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage
of a natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance by the issuance of
this conditional use.

PAGE 1 OF 16
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. A notice of a public hearing on the conditional use permit was published for two
(2) consecutive weeks prior to the said public hearing scheduled for August 5, 2003, before the
City Council, the first publication appearing and written notice having been mailed to property
owners or purchasers of record within three hundred feet (300') of the external boundaries of the
property under consideration more than fifteen (15) days prior to said hearing and with the notice
of public hearing having been posted upon the property under consideration more than one week
before said hearing and the copies of all notices were made available to newspaper, radio and
television stations as public service announcements; and the matter having been duly considered
by the City Council at the August 5, 2003, public hearings; and the applicant, affected property
owners, and government subdivisions providing services within the planning jurisdiction of the
City of Meridian, having been given full opportunity to express comments and submit evidence.
2. There has been compliance with all notice and hearing requirements set forth in
Idaho Code §67-6509, 6512, and Meridian City Code §§ 11-15-5 and 11-17-5 as evidenced by
the Affidavit of Mailing, and the Affidavit of Publication and Proof of Posting filed with the staff
report.
3. This proposed development request is in an L-O zone and by reason of the
provisions of the Meridian City Code § 11-17-4, a public hearing was required before the City
Council on this application.

4. The property is located at 2950 East Magic View Drive, Meridian, Idaho, located
at the northwest corner of S. Allen Street and Magic View, within the recently platted Mystery
View Subdivision, Meridian, Idaho 83642. The following uses surround the subject property:
North -Mountain West Bank (within same business pazk), zoned L-O, and
Greenhill Estates Subdivision, zoned R-2 (Ada County)
South -Multi-tenant office/medical building, zoned C-G
East - Subway restaurant and vacant office lots, zoned L-O
West - Single-family residenfial, zoned RUT (Ada County)
5. The owner of record of the subject property is Magic View Partners of Boise,
Idaho, and they have provided notarized consent for Larson Architects to submit the subject
conditional use permit application.
6. Applicant is University of Phoenix, 46 B East Elwood Street, Ste. 160, Phoenix,
AZ 85040.
The subject property is currently zoned L-O (Limited Office) and is subject to a
recorded Development Agreement. The zoning district of L-O is defined within the City of
Meridian Zoning and Development Ordinance, Section 11-7-2. The subject property is located
in an L-O (Limited Office) zone. A Conditional Use Permit was granted under the name "Magic
View Office Complex" on 3-7-00 which allowed multiple buildings on a lot (for both five acre
parcels on either side of Allen.) A Development Agreement (Instrument No. 100021869, dated
3-23-00) is also in effect for the property which restricts all uses on the original ten (10) acres
approved under the CUP to professional office uses. Specifically, Section 4.1 on page 4 of the
Development Agreement states:
"The uses allowed pursuant to this Agreement are only those uses allowed under "City's"
Zoning Ordinance codified at MCC 11-7-2, which are herein specified as follows:
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF
LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 3 OF 16
Development of Limited Office."
Staff required a CUP application for the proposed use due to their interpretation that an
educational facility serving upwards of 100 students that operates until after 10:00 p.m. was not
compatible with a typical "professional or limited office" use, nor what the public would
anticipate to be standard office uses. A CUP application was also required as the use is not
specifically listed in the Schedule of Use Control. The building, Lincoln Plaza, currently has
professional office tenants and the exterior of the site, including all parking and landscaping,
would not be modified under the application. The CUP application is required solely for the type
of tenant and hours of operation. The existing lot improvements and building shell were
approved through the Certificate of Zoning Compliance process on January 16, 2001. This
entitlement allowed construction of a 30,352 sq. ft. single-story office building. The building
currently is occupied by three (3) different tenants.
8. The proposed application requests a conditional use permit for an educational
facility in a 9,058 sq. ft. tenant space in an existing building in an L-O zone for University of
Phoenix. The L-O zoning designation is within the City of Meridian Zoning and Development
Ordinance requires a conditional use permit be obtained for most uses including those requested
by the Applicant. (Meridian City Zoning and Development Ordinance, Section 11-8-1).
9. The proposed application is in compliance with the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan, which designates the subject property as "Office".
10. The use proposed within the subject application will in fact, constitute a
condifional use as determined by City Ordinance.
11. The Meridian City Council takes judicial notice of its Zoning, Subdivision and
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF
LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMI'T'
PAGE 4 OF 16
Development Ordinances codified at Titles 11 and 12, Meridian City Code and all current zoning
maps thereof and the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Meridian, and Maps and the Ordinance
establishing the Impact Area Boundary.
12. Giving due consideration to the comment received from the governmental
subdivisions providing services in the City of Meridian planning jurisdiction public facilities and
services required by the proposed development will not impose expense upon the public if the
following conditions of development are imposed and the following is also found to be required
to mitigate the effects of the proposed use and development upon services delivered by political
subdivisions providing services to the subject real property within the planning jurisdiction of the
City of Meridian, subject to the following:
A. Adopt the Recommendations of the Planning and Zoning and Engineering staff as
follows:
1. The subject property shall cease instruction and any other activity open to the public at
10:00pm. The hours of operations shall be as follows:
Office Hours: Mon-Fri 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Closed Sat and Sun
Class Hours: Mon-Fri 5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (Disperse by 10:30 p.m.)
Sat 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Sunday closed
2. All parking for the subject use shall be on Lot 3, Block 1, of Mystery View Subdivision.
3. All exterior lighting, whether attached to the building or located within the parking lot, shall
be down-shielded or otherwise altered so that the light does not spill over onto adjacent
properties orright-of--way. All parking lot lighting shall be in accordance with Ordinance 11-
13-4C.
4. All signage shall be in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 11-14 of the City
Zoning and Development Ordinance. All new signage is subject to design review and shall
require separate permits. Temporary or portable signs shall be prohibited, and shall be
removed upon 3 days notice to the applicant.

5. All construction and site improvements shall conform to the requirements ofthe Americans
with Disabilities Act.
6. Any conditions added by the Planning & Zoning Commission or City Council pertaining to
the parking shall be complied with prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
B. Adopt the Recommendations of the Ada County Highway District as follows:
1. On September 26, 2001 the ACRD Commissioners acted on Mystery View Subdivision.
The conditions and requirements also apply to CUP-03-031, including driveway
locations, per their report dated June 20, 2003.
C. Adopt the Recommendations of the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District as follows:
All laterals and waste ways must be protected. All municipal surface drainage must be
retained on site. If any surface drainage leaves the site, the District must review drainage
plans.
2. The developer must comply with Idaho Code 31-3805.
D. Adopt the Recommendations of the Meridian Fire Department as follows:
All access roads leading into and within the project shall have a clear driving surface with a
minimum width of 20' available at all times. UFC 902.2.2.1
2. The project shall comply with the requirements of the Fire Code in effect at the time of the
tenant improvement.
13. It is found that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the required
use, as long as the university holds classes after normal office hours. All parking and
landscaping are already constructed in accordance with city code. The Certificate of Zoning
Compliance approving the Lincoln Plaza building shell showed 150 off-street parking stalls (76
required) - or approximately twice the required ratio, MCC 11-13-S.B does not call-out
"university" as a specific use. High schools require 10 parking spaces for each classroom plus
one (1) for each auditorium seat, and professional offices requires one (1) space for each 400 sq.

ft. of gross floor area. MCC 11-13-S.B.B, Other Uses, states:
"For uses not listed in this Section, parking spaces shall be provided on the same basis as
required for the most similaz listed use or as determined by the Commission."
It is recommended that a combination of office and school uses, as well as, common sense would
be determined in the required number of parking stalls. The "high school" calculation alone
would require 70 stalls and the "office" calculation alone would require 23 stalls. Alternatively,
if each of the seven (7) classrooms has an occupancy of 15 students and each classroom also has
one instructor, that would be a total of 112 people in this facility at one time. [Note that the 15
students is estimated from the seating shown on the floor plan and not a figure provided by the
applicant.]
Since no alternative transportation options serve the property and the majority of students will
likely drive, off-street parking spaces should be made available for the maximum number of
people anticipated at the facility during a peak hour. As long as classes are offered after normal
close of business (which the application states), it is believed the site exceeds the required
number of anticipated parking stalls.
14. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as "Office". It is
found that the proposed use is harmonious with the Comprehensive Plan. It is further found that
the proposed use is in compliance with the MCC.
15. The design, wnstruction and maintenance of the facility exist and aze not
anticipated to change if this use were approved. The operation of the facility would change in
that the number of vehicle trips generated by the use would substantially increase during the
normal after-business hours time period. The intended chazacter of the subdivision to the north is

residential. Even though the lot to the west is existing residenfial, it is intended to become office
uses.
The Lincoln Plaza lot is approximately 230 feet and the building itself approximately 320 feet
from the nearest residential lot in Greenhill Estates. The application states that the last class will
end at 10:00 p.m. and the students would dispense by 10:30 p.m.
16. It is not anticipated that the proposed use, if strictly operated in accordance with
the application and this permit, will have an adverse affect on the other property in the vicinity.
17. It is found that the proposed development will be served adequately by the
essential public facilities and services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection,
drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, and sewer.
18. It is found that the proposed use will not create additional requirements at public
cost for public facilities and service, and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the
community.
19. It is not anticipated that the proposed use will be detrimental to any persons,
property or the general welfare.
20. The site has one existing curb cut off of Magic View Drive and one off of S. Allen
Street. These access points were approved by ACHD and the City of Meridian during the initial
building permit process. It is found that the proposed use will not create interference with traffic
on the surrounding public streets.
21. It is found that the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage
of a natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance by the issuance of
this conditional use.
