OF
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
Project Name: Palmer Tri-plex
Case No.: CUP-03-038
Applicant: Troy Palmer
P&Z Commission Hearing Date: September 4, 2003
Recommendation: Approve with conditions.
Summary of Public Hearing:
1 member(s) of the public either testified in opposition or expressed concerns about
the project.
0 members of the public testified in support of the project.
Key Commission Changes to Staff Recommendation:
Added a condition requiring the applicant to submit a site plan showing alternative
compliance for landscaping. Said proposal is to contain a fence along the north
property line.
Outstanding Issues for City Council:
The applicant submitted a revised site plan as conditioned by the P & Z Commission
at the September 4th meeting. On the revised site plan, the applicant has shown a
fence along a portion of the north property line (abutting the adjacent single-family
home) and has also made some modifications to parking areas, landscaping and drive
aisles from the previously submitted site plan. These changes meet design standards
as outlined in Meridian City Code. Staff is supportive of the changes.
Meridian City Code 12-13-18.3 outlines submittal requirements when applying for
Alternative Compliance. At the time this summary went to print, a letter from the
applicant justifying alternative landscaping and how the proposal would meet or
exceed the intent of said requirement, has not been presented to staff. Staff requests
that the Council analyze the revised site plan and any public testimony that may be
given at the hearing to determine if the alternative landscaping, modified drive aisle
and parking areas are appropriate. Further, staff recommends that the Council require
the applicant to pay the alternative compliance fee ($60) prior to filing for Certificate
of Zoning Compliance (CZC) approval.
