2.0 Architectural Character
2.1 Cohesive Design
C-2.1.3.1. Building design should appropriately address building scale, mass, and form, and the use of materials,
architectural elements, and details to ensure a compatible and aesthetic contribution to the urban environment.
Page 11
Bill Parsons; City of Meridian
December 2, 2011
The proposed building design appropriately addresses the principles by providing a pedestrian scale through
reducing the height at the main vestibules, windows at the pedestrian level, a clearly identifiable building base, and
design elements such as alcoves and awnings. The primary exterior finish materials are stone veneer, split face
concrete masonry units, and synthetic stucco (EIFS). The overall color palette consists of warm earthtones. Cornices,
arched openings, cornices, and materials were designed and selected to relate to architecture in the area.
C-2.1.3.2. Use fundamental design principles, including, but not limited to, composition, order, balance, rhythm,
repetition, proportion, and scale to create a unified building design.
The proposed design effectively uses fundamental design principles listed above to create a unified and visually
aesthetic building design. The elevations have been designed to establish a clear hierarchy that is balanced, creates a
variety of scales, and reads as a cohesive building design.
C-2.1.3.3. Design building facades that express architectural character and incorporate the use of design principles
to unify developments and buildings, and relate to adjacent and surrounding uses.
The building has been designed to express a unifying architectural theme that relates to adjacent and surrounding
uses. The architecture features cornices, stone veneer, a warm earthtone color palette, and arched openings. These
elements, materials, and colors are common in the area-specifically the adjacent BridgeTower Marketplace
development.
C-2.1.3.3.1. Design all appropriate sides of buildings, including facades that face public roadways, public spaces,
other buildings, interior site elements, and adjacent uses, to unify a consistent building design and appearance with
the consistent use of materials, elements, and color.
All appropriate sides of the building have been designed to provide a consistent building design. Particular attention
has been paid to more visible sides of the building. Stepping parapets, raised surface areas, and the use of a variety
of colors and materials on all facades provide visual interest along each building facade. Stone features and
ornamental fencing enhance the building on both East and North elevations as it defines the garden center.
C-2.1.3.4. Building design should enhance public and opens spaces, articulate aesthetic character, and provide
human and pedestrian scale.
Emphasis is placed on the front (East Elevation) as this is where the pedestrian interacts with the store. Here, careful
massing at the entrances, amenities, arch walls and windows provide apedestrian-scale. The hardscape in front of the
store becomes an active, inviting public space for customers which incorporates benches and bicycle parking.
C-2.1.3.4.1. Design buildings to enhance the attractiveness and appeal of developments, define public and open
space, establish community identity, and promote pedestrian environments.
The building has been designed to provide an active, clearly defined public space in front of the store that establishes
community identity. The design of the building relates to neighboring architecture, and serves to reinforce the
architectural theme present in the area.
C-2.1.3.4.2. Where appropriate, incorporate human and pedestrian scale as integral components of the building
design.
The front of the store features amenities, benches, variation in materials and depths, alcoves and carefully designed
massing to provide a pedestrian scale.
C-2.1.3.5. Use building design and architecture to promote mixed-use and denser developments as aesthetically
pleasing developments throughout the community.
Page 12
Bill Parsons; City of Meridian
December 2, 2011
The site features (4) out-lots that are likely to become additional retail, restaurants, and services. Additionally, the
building itself is likely to have multiple uses including retail, services, banking, and a restaurant.
C-2.1.3.5.1. Building designs are encouraged to use vertically integrated structures and/or horizontal mixed-use
forms to create compact developments.
The building is designed to have tenant spaces at the front of the store that will establish the store as a mixed-use
form. Potential tenants could include retail, services, restaurant, and banking.
2.2 Building Scale
C-2.2.2.1. Proposed developments should use proportion and scale to design buildings compatible in height, mass,
and form with an appropriate transitional built environment.
The average height of the proposed store is 24'-0", which is compatible in height to the adjacent BridgeTower
Marketplace development, and other development in the area.
C-2.2.2.1.1. Infill, greenfield, and redevelopment proposals should coordinate the placement, orientation, and
design of buildings to mitigate and avoid the visual appearance of buildings that present an overwhelming form,
mass, and scale.
N/A
C-2.2.2.1.2. Large-scale and multi-building developments are encouraged to produce innovative and creative
designs that visually reduce the mass, size, and box form to promote an aesthetic appearance on appropriate
facades.
The proposed building uses creative massing, architectural elements, and materials to reduce the mass, size, and box
form of the building.
C-2.2.2_.1.3. Where possible, group or incorporate smaller uses along facades that introduce modulation and create
pedestrian environments that break up massing of large-scale buildings.
The front of the Walmart store is likely to have non-Walmart tenants of varying uses. Here the facade is articulated
with windows, alcoves, and massing to break up the length which reduces the appearance of a singular-use large
scale building.
C-2.2.2.2. Design and configure buildings to reduce overwhelming and disproportioned architectural scale to
establish appropriate relationships to adjacent roadways and uses.
The South facade incorporates a Pharmacy drive through which is composed of cornices, awnings and raised arch
features to give the building an appropriate architectural scale from West McMillan Road. The North facade, which
is adjacent to an undeveloped area zoned for mixed use, is broken up by the Garden Center fencing elements and
retractable sidewall system along with the Auto Center's incorporation of windows and awnings. The East elevation
facing North Ten Mile Road features clearly identifiable vestibules, pedestrian scale amenities and building design
elements, and a clear hierarchy established through the use of cornices, massing, and colors and materials.
C-2.2.2.2.1. Development should consider the scale of surrounding buildings, including relationships to residential
areas, as well as an appropriate scale for a transitional built environment.
The scale of the building is proportionate in scale to the neighboring BridgeTower Marketplace development. It has
been designed to have an average height of 24'-0".

Bill Parsons; City of Meridian
December 2, 2011
C-2.2.2.2.2. Use variation in building form and proximity to other buildings, including, but not limited to, step-
backs, similar roof f orms, and building height, to ensure building elements are compatible and/or transition to
adjacent uses.
Variation and compatible elements to adjacent uses in the building form have been achieved through wall height
changes, cornice detailing, material changes along highly visible elevations, and banding.
C-2.2.2.2.3. Where appropriate, establish a hierarchy of building scales that transition from intense to less intense
uses, maintain relationships between stages, and provide opportunities to create distinctive areas and "districts."
Through massing, materials, color, and strategically positioned design elements the building establishes a clearly
identifiable hierarchy of building scales.
C-2.2.2.2.4. Building scales along roadways and adjacent to or near urban areas of the community are encouraged
to develop a minimum two-story design character.
The proposed design is not in proximity of an urban area, and is setback from N. Ten Mile Road and West McMillan
Road. Additionally, the proposed use is a single-story retail store.
C-2.2.2.3. Incorporate human scale on appropriate building facades to support an aesthetic architectural character
that contributes to the quality of the building design, adjacent buildings, and public spaces.
A human scale has been established on facades in which pedestrians will interact with the building, primarily along
the East Elevation. Other features such as arch walls with lower heights, decorative cornices, and windows serve to
reduce the scale of the building.
C-2.2.2.3.1. Use human scale to emphasize fenestration patterns, architectural elements, proportion, materials,
and detailing throughout the facade and building design.
Human scale is emphasized on the East Elevation through the use of windows, alcoves, architectural elements,
materials, proportion, and detailing.
C-2.2.2.3.2. Human scale is required at the ground or street level at building entries, along roadways, and adjacent
to pedestrian environments and public spaces.
Portions of the building where people interact with the building have been carefully designed through the use of
colors, materials, architectural details, and amenities to establish ahuman-scaled architecture.
2.3 Building Form
C-2.3.2.1. Articulate building forms, including, but not limited to, massing, walls, and roofs, with appropriately
scaled modulations that contribute to the development of visually aesthetic building designs.
Articulations in the building form will include wall height variation, material changes, cornice detailing, fenestration,
and alcoves that will contribute to a visually aesthetic building design.
C-2.3.2.1.1. Building facades that face roadways, public spaces, and pedestrian environments should incorporate
facade modulations, including, but not limited to, appropriately proportioned projections, recesses, and step-backs
that articulate wall planes and break up building masses.
The South elevation facing West McMillian Road is articulated with projections of the arch walls and awnings; while
the main facade on the East side of the building incorporates projections of entry vestibules, and material changes
that successfully articulate wall planes and break up building masses.

Bill Parsons; City of Meridian
December 2, 2011
C-2.3.2.1.2. Design parking structures as integrated buildings that are compatible with surrounding uses and
contribute to the urban form.
N/A
C-2.3.2.1.3. Parking structures should incorporate modulations, architectural elements, details, materials, and
finishes that unify the structure with a coherent building design and character on all appropriate facades.
N/A
C-2.3.2.2. Incorporate visual and physical distinctions in the building design that enhance building forms,
articulate facades, identify entries, and integrate human scale.
The proposed design uses variation in materials, variation in form and massing, pronounced entry vestibules, and
architectural features such as awnings, arches, pilasters, and windows to create a human scale.
C-2.3.2.2.1. Use divisions, fenestration, architectural elements, details, accent materials, and human scale to
articulate building facades which relate to adjacent roadways and uses.
A human scale is established at both entrances along the East elevation through the use of glazing, wall heights, and
material accents. The North elevation is broken up by the projections of the Garden Center and Auto Center with the
use of material accents along the facade. The South elevation is broken up through the use of a variety of materials,
awnings, and raised arch walls.
C-2.3.2.2.2. Where building designs incorporate multiple stories, or equivalent building heights, design upper
stories to complement lower stories and create a cohesive building design.
N/A
C-2.3.2.2.3. Use horizontal and vertical divisions in wall planes to organize fenestration as integrated elements of
facade compositions, provide visual interest and complexity to the building design, and emphasize the structure or
feature architectural elements.
The building design uses both horizontal and vertical divisions in wall planes to provide visual interest and
complexity to the building design. The design has a clearly identifiable base, with vertical separation created through
the use of stucco wall planes with varying parapet heights.
C-2.3.2.2.4. Design lower stories to visually anchor buildings to the ground or street and appropriately integrate
architectural elements and details that emphasize pedestrian scale.
The material articulation along the East elevation that includes the two entrances integrates such architectural
elements and details as alcoves, an arched entry, and accent materials to reinforce the pedestrian scale.
C-2.3.2.2.5. Design the uppermost story or facade wall planes to complete the building design. Use articulation,
architectural elements, materials, and details to emphasize the termination of walls, roof planes, or rooftop
elements.
The termination of walls, roof planes, and rooftop elements are emphasized through the use of varying parapet
heights and decorative cornices.
C-2.3.2.2.6. Building designs within designated areas of the Ten Mile Specific Area Plan are encouraged to use the
"base," "body," "top" concept to integrate horizontal and vertical divisions.
Page 15
Bill Parsons; City of Meridian
December 2, 2011
The building features a clear base middle and top concept through the use of horizontal and vertical separation of
wall planes through the use of material changes, color variation, and massing.
C-2.3.2.3. Building designs should establish visual connections that relate internal spaces at ground- or street-level
with adjacent roadways, public spaces, and pedestrian environments. Multistory buildings should provide more
transparency at ground- or street-level than upper stories.
The proposed building design establishes visual connections with the public spaces and pedestrian environments
through the use of glass entrance doors at the store entrances.
C-2.3.2.3.1. Use architectural elements, such as doors and windows, details, and materials to articulate building
facades that face roadways, or are adjacent to public spaces and pedestrian environments to establish a
transparent relationship between active indoor and outdoor spaces.
A transparent relationship between active indoor and outdoor spaces is achieved with the glazing in the entry
vestibules on the East facade.
C-2.3.2.3.2. Facades at ground level should average 40 percent transparency along roadways and adjacent to
public spaces.
The front facade has large glass entrance doors at both vestibules. There are also (8) windows adjacent to the
entrances. Transparency occurs in the design where the pedestrian directly interacts with the building, and where
store operations permit.
C-2.3.2.4. Building designs should provide proportionally taller ground-level facades to accommodate various uses
adjacent to pedestrian environments, roadways, and public spaces where appropriate along an urban edge or as
part of a development transition. Provide floor-to-ceiling heights, or floor-to-floor for multistory buildings, from 12
to 18 feet.
The proposed building does not sit along an urban edge and is a single-story building. The main facade on the East
side of the store reflects a scale that is appropriate for the pedestrian activity.
C-2.3.2.5. Building roof types, forms, and elements should provide variation and interest to building profiles and
contribute to the architectural identity of buildings without imposing overwhelming scale on adjacent uses.
The proposed building profile is at a scale that is not overwhelming in scale against adjacent uses. The site is
bordered on two sides by existing street access while the area west of the site has a proposed street plan. The
building scale is appropriate for its north adjacency which is an undeveloped Mixed Use zone. The design features
varying parapet heights, with decorative cornices. Cornice types vary depending upon their height-cornices are most
pronounced over the main entrances.
C-2.3.2.5.1. Building designs should incorporate appropriate roof forms with primary and secondary roof elements
that complement the building form and facade designs and help reduce the appearance of building mass and scale.
Such design elements as varying roof height, material change, and decorative cornices help reduce the appearance of
building mass while still maintaining a strong building form and level of facade design.
C-2.3.2.5.2. Where appropriate, modulate and/or articulate roof types, both flat and sloped, with roof elements,
including, but not limited to, parapets, dormers, overhangs, and eaves, architectural detailing, and cornice work.
The proposed building will include a varying roofline, parapets, decorative cornices, and metal .architectural coping.
2.4 Architectural Elements
Page 16
Bill Parsons; City of Meridian
December 2, 2011
C-2.4.2.1. Use architectural elements and detailing, including, but not limited to, fenestration patterns, awnings,
canopies, balconies, entries, materials, and decorative or ornamental detailing, to articulate facades and contribute
to an aesthetic building character.
The proposed building facades will include awnings, alcoves, fenestration patterns, and accent material arch walls to
create an aesthetically pleasing building character.
C-2.4.2.1.1. Design and articulate architectural elements using proportions, divisions, detailing, materials, textures,
and colors that appropriately integrate these elements with the building design.
The proposed building design is articulated through the use of variation in massing, vertical and horizontal separation
of plane through the use of material and color changes, variation in parapet height, and materials that are highly
textural.
C-2.4.2.1.2. Provide architectural elements and detailing that emphasize human scale throughout the building
design. Human scale that uses a high level of design and detailing is required at ground or street level adjacent to
roadways, pedestrian environments, and public spaces.
The scale. of the building is brought down to the human scale through material changes at a pedestrian level, detailed
cornices, variation of roof heights, alcove openings, windows, lighting, and site amenities.
C-2.4.2.1.3. Where appropriate, provide building overhangs or other similar features, such as canopies and
awnings, that offer temporary relief from inclement weather along portions of facades that adjoin pedestrian
environments.
The building vestibules feature arched openings with recessed entrances to protect customers from inclement
weather. The Pharmacy drive-thru uses awnings to protect drivers from weather.
C-2.4.2.1.4. Integrate strategically located elements as focal points in building designs. Focal elements should be
proportional to the building scale and emphasize building corners, entries, adjacent public spaces, and other such
features to establish development or building identity.
Focal points in the proposed building design include arched alcoves and decorative cornices at the entries, accent
materials wrapping corners, and a unique signage wall with the retailer's logo to create a sense of identity.
C-2.4.2.2. Building designs should not create blank wall segments along roadways or adjacent to public space. Use
architectural elements and detailing in combination with color palettes, textural changes, and material
combinations to mitigate the stark appearance of blank walls. Landscaping techniques may also be considered.
The proposed building incorporates a rich color palette, horizontal banding, decorative cornices, and wall
projections to mitigate the appearance of blank wal Is.
C-2.4.2.3.Organize and locate building service equipment, including, but not limited to, mechanical units, flutes,
and vents, away from building entries, roadways, public spaces, and where possible from adjacent buildings.
All mechanical units for the building will be rooftop mounted and screened by parapet walls accordingly. Any other
service equipment located on the ground will be located at the rear of the store and will be screened by 10'-0"
concrete masonry walls.
C-2.4.2.3.1. Use integrated architectural elements to provide adequate screening and appropriately conceal service
equipment and areas.
All service equipment and areas shall either be screened by building wall parapets or masonry screen walls.
Page 17
Bill Parsons; City of Meridian
December 2, 2011
C-2.4.2.3.2. Screen service equipment at ground level from pedestrian and vehicular view to a minimum height of
the equipment on all sides and integrate with the building design and site layout.
All ground level service equipment shall be screened from pedestrian and vehicular view by either the building or
masonry screen walls to a minimum height of the equipment.
C-2.4.2.3.3. Screen service and building equipment that is attached or on top of structures from public view. Use
pedestrian lines of sight from the farthest edge of the adjoining right-of-way to determine the height and
effectiveness of screening.
All rooftop equipment will be screened by wall parapets that have been designed around the pedestrian lines of site
from the farthest edge of the adjoining right-of--way.
C-2.4.2.3.4. Use screening techniques, architectural elements, and materials that are consistent with the building
design and do not detract from the aesthetic appearance of the building and adequately conceal equipment.
All service equipment is adequately concealed using materials and screening techniques that fully integrate with the
building design. All roof top equipment is screened by building wall parapets and all ground level equipment is
screened by masonry walls that seem like extensions of the building facade.
2.5 Materials
C-2.5.2.1. Buildings with facades that face multiple roadways and/ or public spaces should use consistent material
combinations, quality, and detailing to unify the building design.
The proposed building will have a consistency in the elevations that face roadways and public spaces through the use
of a warm color palette consisting of split-face cmu, synthetic stucco, and ledgestone veneer.
C-2.5.2.2. Use complementary material combinations that contribute to a cohesive building design. Use materials
from the following basic groups: wood, masonry, concrete, metal, and glazing.
The proposed building uses split-face cmu, glazing at entry vestibules, metal awnings, and ledgestone to create a
material combination that contributes to a cohesive building design.
C-2.5.2.2.1. Select combinations that emphasize a finished composition and enhance human scale for lower stories
and pedestrian scale at ground level.
The proposed building will feature materials such as stone veneer along with other design features such as of lower
roof heights around building entries to reinforce the human scale at the ground level.
C-2.5.2.2.2. Concrete masonry that provides texture, interest, and detail may be appropriate for building designs;
however, the use of ordinary, smooth face block, unfinished, colored, or painted, is not an acceptable finish
material for building facades along roadways, adjacent to public spaces, and residential areas.
The primary building material is spilt-face concrete masonry units (CMU). Smooth face CMU is not used in the design
of the proposed building.
C-2.5.2.2.3. Use well-detailed, proportioned, and durable materials that will weather and age gracefully, adding to
the architectural character over time. Avoid non-durable materials that deteriorate quickly and require frequent
maintenance or replacement.
Page 18
Bill Parsons; City of Meridian
December 2, 2011
The building will be composed of painted and integrally colored split-face CMU, a material that is durable and can
be easily maintained. Portions of wall consist of painted synthetic stucco (EIFS), which is a water drainage exterior
insulation and finish system. Stone veneer is a durable material that is used to accent the building entrances.
C-2.5.2.2.4. Create interest and variety in facade design to establish attractive architectural character and human
scale.
Interest and variety in facade design is established with glazing at the entry vestibules, detailed alcoves adjacent to
entries, and accent material wall projections.
C-2.5.2.2.5. Provide pattern, texture, and detail in the building design and distinguish field materials from accent
materials.
The proposed building will include glazing, masonry, and accent materials to provide pattern, texture, and detailing
in the building design, while distinguishing field materials from accent materials through scale and placement. Field
materials enforce the building scale and accent materials support the human scale.
C-2.5.2.3. Where materials transition or terminate, provide detailing to express the natural appearance of the
material. (For example, stone or stone-like products should convey the appearance of mass and should not appear
as a thin veneer.)
Materials and wall treatments on the building always wrap corners and never terminate at the edge, giving the
perception of mass.
C-2.5.2.4. Use colors that complement the use of building materials and support innovative and good design
practices.
Colors used in the building are of earth tones and help reinforce the natural aesthetics of materials such as the split-
face CMU and stone veneer used in the project.
C-2.5.2.4.1. The use of subtle, neutral, and natural tones for field materials should complement accent colors and
materials. The use of deep earth tones or saturated colors to distinguish building facades should enhance the
building design and be compatible with adjacent structures.
The buildings color palette and material choice reflect a natural and neutral tone that enhances the building design.
C-2.5.2.4.2. The use of intensely bright and fluorescent colors, as well as the widespread use of saturated hues
without complementary,colors, materials, and accents, is discouraged.
The building does not incorporate intensely bright and florescent colors.
C-2.5.2.4.3. Materials or colors with high reflectance, such as metal or reflective glazing, should be reviewed and
evaluated with the Planning staff to minimize glare on roadways, public spaces, and adjacent uses and to
determine appropriateness.
All materials are finished as to not be highly reflective.
2.6 Signs & Lighting
C-2.6.3.1. Where appropriate, use lighting on building exteriors to promote safe pedestrian environments along
roadways, at intersections, and in public spaces.
Page 19
Bill Parsons; City of Meridian
December 2, 2011
An appropriate use of lighting is used on the proposed building's exterior as to promote a safe pedestrian
environment. At all entrances, emergency exits, and unloading/loadingsltuations sufficient lighting is provided.
C-2.6.3.1.1. Coordinate lighting fixture spacing and height along streetscapes and roadways to avoid conflicts with
tree plantings.
Lighting fixtures spacing and height along streetscapes and roadways will be coordinated to avoid conflicts with tree
plantings.
C-2.6.3.1.3. The use of architectural lighting is encouraged to be energy-efficient and easily maintained, in addition
to providing attractive qualities to building character and public spaces.
All architectural lighting is energy efficient and limited to public spaces and instances to support the building
character.
C-2.6.3.1.3. Lighting fixtures used on building exteriors should be integrated with building design and coordinate
with architectural elements and building entries.
Lighting fixtures on the building exterior are integrated with the building design. Lighting is coordinated with entry
vestibules, public spaces, and signage.
C-2.6.3.2. Signs should be integrated with architectural elements and complement building designs and materials.
Relate the size, shape, materials, details, and illumination to a pedestrian scale as appropriate, in addition to
accommodating vehicles.
The building signs are integrated as architectural elements and compliment the building design. The primary building
identification wall features the main tenant wall sign, with smaller more pedestrian scale signs used as away-finding
tool to blend the interior function with the exterior building design.
C-2.6.3.2.1. Provide signs to identify individual storefronts, buildings, and uses along roadways, pedestrian
environments, and within developments. Avoid large, single signs with multiple tenants.
In addition to a tenant sign at the front of the store, are secondary signs that serve to direct customers to various
departments within and around the store.
C-2.6.3.2.2. Use corporate and business logos to identify developments and businesses along roadways, pedestrian
environments, and adjacent to public spaces.
The use of the corporate business logo is used on the main identification wall between the two entry vestibules.
C-2.6.3.2.3. Use appropriately scaled signs that incorporate logos, minimize or eliminate the use of large amounts
of text, and are compatible with the architectural character and design of the building.
Wall signage used is simple and to the point, calling out "Market" for the grocery side of the store, "Home &
Pharmacy" for general merchandise, "Outdoor Living" for the garden center, "Pharmacy Drive-Thru" for the
Pharmacy, and "Auto Center" for the auto service area.
C-2.6.3.2.4. Where buildings are brought up close to roadways, pedestrian environments, and public spaces, use
appropriate urban sign types that address pedestrian sight lines in addition to vehicular traffic.
Appropriate signage will be used to address pedestrian sight lines in addition to vehicular traffic. signage along the
East facade will help denote between the grocery and general merchandise sides of the store and the entrance to the
Page 20
Bill Parsons; City of Meridian
December 2, 2011
garden center. The North facade signage acts as way finding to the Auto Center shop from the adjacent parking lot.
The South facade signage acts as a way of finding the drive through for the Pharmacy.
C-2.6.3.2.5. Decorative flags and banners should promote the identity of place and enhance the character and
attractiveness of buildings and public spaces rather than advertise.
Decorative flags and banners will not be used. A flagpole at the front of the store will be provided for the flying of an
American flag, giving identity to place and enhancing the character of the building.

Subject: Northwest Meridian Retail Store Traffic Impact Study
Rebecca W. Arnold, President
John S. Franden, Vice President
Carol A. McKee, Commissioner
Sara M. Baker, Commissioner
David L. Case, Commissioner
The Ada County Highway District (ACRD) staff has completed a review of the submitted traffic
impact study (TIS) for the proposed Northwest Meridian Retail Store development.
Comments/recommendations provided by District Traffic Services and Planning Review staff are
listed below:
1. There is a discrepancy between the Saturday traffic volumes shown for Ten Mile
Road (Ustick/McMillan) on Figure 3 and Table 1 of the submitted study. Please
revise the figure and table and resubmit the information to staff for review.
2. Based on the submitted study it appears that a traffic signal will be needed at
Chinden/Ten Mile intersection to mitigate impacts of the development. However, it is
unclear as to whether or not the applicant is proposing to install the signal. The
applicant should clarify whether they plan to improve the Chinden/Ten Mile
intersection to serve their site, or if they are proposing to wait to develop until ACRD
improves the intersection in 2019 to 2027, as noted in ACHD's Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP). Payment of impact fees does not constitute the full mitigation of traffic
impacts as noted in the study. If the development's impacts require system
improvement's sooner than planned in the CIP the applicant is responsible to
construct the improvements to mitigate the impacts or wait until the improvement is
constructed by ACRD. If the applicant constructs the system improvements they
may be eligible for impact fee credits.
3. The TIS did not include a table or chart with the v/c ratios by lane group; as required
by District Policy 7106.6 (Table 3); it only included the overall v/c ratio. The v/c ratio
by lane group must be provided.
4. The study notes that a signal would be installed at the north driveway onto Ten Mile
Road. Staff is not supportive of this proposal and would recommend denial of the
proposed signal based on the following:
Ada County Highway District • 3775 Adams Street • Garden City, ID • 83714 • PH 208-387-6100 • FX 345-7650 • www.achd.ada.id.us
o A signal in this location does not meet the signalized intersection spacing
requirements in ACHD's policy manual. District Policy 7205.4.2, requires
signals on an arterial to be located at the 1/2 mile.
o The v/c ratio for the worst movement is 0.59 with a maximum queue of three
vehicles according to the submitted study.
For a signal to be considered along this segment of Ten Mile Road (between
Chinden and McMillan) it must be located at the half-mile. This will require redesign
of the site to ensure there is adequate connectivity between the site and the half-mile
roadway and coordination between the applicant and the property owner to the north.
5. ACRD recognizes that the site plan shown in Figure 9 is conceptual at this time, but
the internal circulation shown on the site plan is poor, as the main drive aisle would
force everyone to drive in-front of the stores creating a direct conflict with
pedestrians. ACRD recommends revising the circulation to minimize the conflicts
with pedestrians. Additionally, the site could benefit from increased access and
circulation to and from the proposed backage road.
6. The applicant has indicated that they may not be proposing to construct the backage
road show on Figure 9 of the TIS. A roadway in this location is shown on the ACRD
Master Street Map (New Residential Collector) and as such, staff will recommend
construction of ahalf-street in this location be required.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 208-387-6178.

Mindy Wallace

Mr. Pete Friedman
Meridian Planning Department
33 E. Broadway, Suite 210
Meridian, Idaho 83642
Re: Walmart -Meridian (NW), ID -#5841
Dear Mr. Friedman:
It is our belief that the proposed architectural design for Walmart addresses the guidelines in the Meridian Design
Manual and UDC 11-3A-19. It is also our belief that the design is in conformance with Exhibit rD' of the Development
Agreement between the City of Meridian and Primeland Development Company, LLP. The design meets the
requirements as stated in Design Guidelines for Urban/Suburban Develooments:2 0 Architectural Character as
specified below.
2.1 Cohesive Design
C-2.1.3.1. Building design should appropriately address building scale, mass, and form, and the use of materials, architectural elements, and details
to ensure a compatible and aesthetic contribution to the urban environment.
The proposed project is compatible with, and positively contributes to the urban environment around the site. The design provides materials that
relate to the area, uses an architectural style that relates to adjacent development, and appropriately addresses building scale, mass, and form in
relation to its environment. A Mediterranean architectural style incorporating arched openings, decorative light fiMUres, awnings, and architectural
details has been used to relate to adjacent development in the area.
C-2.1.3.2. Use fundamental design principles, including, but not limited to, composition, order, balance, rhythm, repetition, proportion, and scale to
create a unified building design.
The proposed design effectively uses fundamental design principles listed above to create a unified building design.
C-2.1.3.3. Design building fa4ades that express architectural character and incorporate the use of design principles to unify developments and
buildings, and relate to adjacent and surrounding uses.
The building has been designed to express a unifying architectural theme that relates to adjacent and surrounding uses. A Mediterranean
architectural style has been established in the area, and has been incorporated on the proposed design.
C-2.1.3.3.1. Design all appropriate sides of buildings, including fa4ades that face public roadways, public spaces, other buildings, interior site
elements, and adjacent uses, to unify a consistent building design and appearance with the consistent use of materials, elements, and color.
A consistent use of architectural detailing and materials is achieved all four sides. Particular attention has been paid to more visible sides of the
building, including the East Elevation facing the Ten Mile Road and the South Elevation facing McMillan Road. These elevations incorporate
pilasters, steps in parapets, cornice detailing, variation in color/materials, and architectural features such as awnings.
C-2.1.3.4. Building design should enhance public and opens spaces, articulate aesthetic character, and provide human and pedestrian scale.
Emphasis is placed on the front (East Elevation) as this is where the pedestrian interacts with the store. Here, careful massing at the entrances,
amenities, planters, and awnings provide apedestrian-scale. The hardscape in front of the store becomes an active, Inviting public space for
customers.
C-2.1.3.4.1. Design buildings to enhance the attractiveness and appeal of developments, define public and open space, establish community
identity, and promote pedestrian environments.
The building has been designed to provide an active, clearly defined public space in front of the store that establishes community identity. The local
Mediterranean architectural identity is enhanced.

Page 2 of 7
C-2.1.3.4.2. Where appropriate, incorporate human and pedestrian scale as integral components of the building design.
The front of the store features customer amenities, variation in materials, awnings, alcoves, planters, and carefully designed massing to provide a
pedestrian scale.
C-2.1.3.5. Use building design and architecture to promote mixed-use and denser developments as aesthetically pleasing developments throughout
the community.
The site features out-lots that are likelyto become additional retail, restaurants, and services. Additionally, the building itself is likely to have
multiple uses including retail, services, banking, and a restaurant.
C-2.1.3.5.1. Building designs are encouraged to use vertically integrated structures and/or horizontal mixed-use forms to create compact
developments.
N/A
2.2 Building Scale
C-2.2.2.1. Proposed developments should use proportion and scale to design buildings compatible in height, mass, and form with an appropriate
transitional built environment.
The main building walls vary in height from 24'-0" to 27'-4" in height, which is compatible in height of adjacent development in the area.
C-2.2.2.1.1. Infill, greenfield, and redevelopment proposals should coordinate the placement, orientation, and design of buildings to mitigate and
avoid the visual appearance of buildings that present an overwhelming form, mass, and scale.
N/A
C-2.2.2.1.2. Large-scale and multi-building developments are encouraged to produce innovative and creative designs that visually reduce the mass,
size, and boxform to promote an aesthetic appearance on appropriate faSades.
The proposed building uses creative massing, architectural elements, and materials to reduce the mass, size, and box form of the building.
C-2.2.2.1.3. Where possible, group or incorporate smaller uses along faSades that introduce modulation and create pedestrian environments that
breakup massing of large-scale buildings.
The front of the Walmart store is likely to have non-Walmart tenants of varying uses. Here the faSade is highly articulated with windows, alcoves,
and awnings, and uses massing to reduce the scale of the building.
C-2.2.2.2. Design and configure buildings to reduce overwhelming and disproportioned architectural scale to establish appropriate relationships to
adjacent roadways and uses.
The overall scale of the building from Ten Mile Road and West McMillan is appropriate considering the setbacks from the roadway. Additionally,
future development of the out-lots is likelyto provide a small scale of development adjacent to roadways.
C-2.2.2.2.1. Development should consider the scale of surrounding buildings, including relationships to residential areas, as well as an appropriate
scale for a transitional built environment.
The scale of the building is proportionate in scale to the neighboring development, including the nearby Bridge Tower development. It has been
designed to have primary building walls with varying heights of 24'-0" to 27'-4" which is relatively low for a building of this size. This low profile is
also appropriate for a transitional area near residential.
C-2.2.2.2.2. Use variation in building form and proximity to other buildings, including, but not limited to, step-backs, similar roof forms, and building
height, to ensure building elements are compatible and/or transition to adjacent uses.
Variation and compatible elements to adjacent uses in the building form have been achieved through wall height changes, variation in roof
heights/types, cornice detailing, and variation in materials and colors.
C-2.2.2.2.3. Where appropriate, establish a hierarchy of building scales that transition from intense to less intense uses, maintain relationships
between stages, and provide opportunities to create distinctive areas and "districts."
A hierarchy of building scale has been established, particularly on the front elevation. Here, the massing and architectural elements represent more
intense uses and define a distinct building entrance.
C-2.2.2.2.4. Building scales along roadways and adjacent to or near urban areas of the community are encouraged to develop a minimum two-story
design tharatter.
The proposed design is not in proximity of an urban area, and is setback from West McMillan and Ten Mile Road. Additionally, the proposed use is
a.single-story retail store.

C-2.2.2.3. Incorporate human scale on appropriate building facades to support an aesthetic architectural character that contributes to the quality
of the building design, adjacent buildings, and public spaces.
A human scale has been established on facades in which pedestrians will interact with the building, primarily along the East Elevation. Other
features such as arch walls, a clearly identifiable building base, and pilasters serve to reduce the scale of the building.
C-2.2.2.3.1. Use human scale to emphasize fenestration patterns, architectural elements, proportion, materials, and detailing throughout the
facade and building design.
Human scale is emphasized on the East Elevation through the use of windows, alcoves, architectural elements, materials, proportion, and detailing.
C-2.2.2.3.2. Human scale is required at the ground or street level at building entries, along roadways, and adjacent to pedestrian environments and
public spaces.
All entries of the building are brought to a human scale with the use of alcoves, lower sloped the roofs, scaled signage, and detailed accent
materials.
2.3 Building Form
C-2.3.2.1. Articulate building forms, including, but not limited to, massing, walls, and roofs, with appropriately scaled modulations that contribute
to the development of visually aesthetic building designs.
Articulations in [he building form will include wall height variation, material changes, cornice detailing, glazing and alcoves that will contribute to a
visually aesthetic building design.
C-2.3.2.1.1. Building facades that face roadways, public spaces, and pedestrian environments should incorporate facade modulations, including, but
not limited to, appropriately proportioned projections, recesses, and step-backs that articulate wall planes and breakup building masses.
The front (East) elevation facing Ten Mile Road has clearly identified entrances through the use of facade modulation, scale changes, signage and
materials. The elevation also features windows, awnings, pilaster arcade features, and horizontal separation of materials/color to break up the
overall building mass. The elevation facing Wes[ McMillan uses variation in parapet height, horizontal and vertical separation of wall surfaces
through variation in colors and materials, and pilaster arcade features to reduce building mass.

C-23.2.2.4. Design lower stories to visually anchor buildings to the ground or street and appropriately integrate architectural elements and details
that emphasize pedestrian scale.
The material articulation along the East elevation that includes the two entrances Integrates alcoves, awnings, amenities, planters, and accent
materials to reinforce the pedestrian scale.
C-2.3.2.2.5. Design the uppermost story orfacade wall planes to complete the building design. Use articulation, architectural elements, materials,
and details to emphasize the termination of walls, roof planes, or rooftop elements.
The termination of walls, roof planes, and rootop elements are emphasized through the use of decorative cornices with varying profiles, varying
roof types, and material changes.
C-2.3.2.2.6. Building designs within designated areas ofthe Ten Mile Specific Area Plan are encouraged to use the "base; "'body; "'top" concept to
integrate horizontal and vertical divisions.
The building has clearly identifiable base, body, and top. The base is identified with the "Autumn' Integral color CMU and "Cobble Brown" band.
The body of the building is identified either through painted CMU or EIFS. The top is identified by a termination cornice detail.
C-2.3.2.3. Building designs should establish visual connections that relate internal spaces at ground- orstreet-level with adjacent roadways, public
spaces, and pedestrian environments. Multistory buildings should provide more transparency atground- or street-level than upper stories.
The articulation of the front facade provides customers with clearly defined entrance vestibules and a pedestrian area. More transparency is
provided in these areas to allow a visual connection to the inside of the store.
C-2.3.2.3.1. Use architectural elements, such as doors and windows, details, and materials to articulate building facades that face roadways, or are
adjacent to public spaces and pedestrian environments to establish a transparent relationship between active indoor and outdoor spaces.
A transparent relationship between active indoor and outdoor spaces is achieved with glazed entry vestibules on the East facade. -
C-2.3.2.3.2. Facades at ground level should average 40 percent transpa rency along roadways and adjacent to public spaces.
The proposed building design does not meet the 40 percent requirement due to operational reasons. However, transparency is provided at the
entrance vestibule and cart storage areas of each entrance vestibule.
C-2.3.2.4. Building designs should provide proportionallytaller ground-level facades to accommodate various uses adjacent to pedestrian
environments, roadways, and public spaces where appropriate along an urban edge or as part of a development transition. Provide floor-to-ceiling
heights, or floor-to-floor for multistory buildings, from 12 to 18 feet.
The proposed building does not sit along an urban edge and is a single-story building. The main facade on the East side of the store reflects a scale
that is appropriate for the pedestrian activity.
C-2.3.2.5. Building roof types, forms, and elements should provide variation and interest to building profiles and contribute to the architectural
identity of buildings without imposing overwhelming scale on adjacent uses.
Variation in parapet heights, cornice profiles, and roof types add variation and interest without being overwhelming in scale to adjacent uses.
C-2.3.2.5.1. Building designs should incorporate appropriate roof forms with primary and secondary roof elements that complement the building
form and facade designs and help reduce the appearance of building mass and scale.
Such design elements as varying roof height, material change, and decorative cornices help reduce the appearance of building mass while still
maintaining a strong building form and level of facade design.
C-2.3.2.5.2. Where appropriate, modulate and/or articulate roof types, both flat and sloped, with roof elements, including, but not limited to,
parapets, dormers, overhangs, and eaves, architectural detailing, and cornice work.
The proposed building will include a varying roofline, sloped file roofs, awnings, decorative cornices, and metal architectural coping.
2.4 Architectural Elements

C-2.4.2.1.2. Provide architectural elements and detailing that emphasize human scale throughout the building design. Human scale that uses a high
level of design and detailing is required at ground or street level adjacent to roadways, pedestrian environments, and public spaces.
At all building entrances the scale is brought down to the human through lower roof heights, alcove openings, and site amenities including seating.
C-2.4.2.1.3. Where appropriate, provide building overhangs or other similar features, such as canopies and awnings, that offer temporary relief
from inclement weather along portions of facades that adjoin pedestrian environments.
Overhangs are provided at building entrances fortemporary relief from inclement weather.
C-2.4.2.1.4. Integrate strategically located elements as focal points in building designs. Focal elements should be proportional to the building scale
and emphasize building corners, entries, adjacent public spaces, and other such features to establish development or building identity.
Focal points in the proposed building design include sloped the roofs, accent materials, and a main sign wall with stone base to create a sense of
identity.
C-2.4.2.2. Building designs should not create blank wall segments along roadways or adjacent to public space. Use architectural elements and
detailing in combination with color palettes, textural changes, and material combinations to mitigate the stark appearance of blank walls.
Landscaping techniques may also be considered.
The proposed building incorporates a rich color palette, horizontal and vertical separation of wall planes, decorative cornices, and wall projections
to mitigate the appearance of blank walls.
C-2.4.2.3. Organize and locate building service equipment, including, but not limited to, mechanical units, flutes, and vents, away from building
entries, roadways, public spaces, and where possible from adjacent buildings.
All mechanical units for the building will be rooftop mounted and screened by parapet walls accordingly. Any other service equipment located on
the ground will be located at the rear of the store and will be screened as to not be seen from building entries, roadways, and public spaces.
C-2.4.2.3.1. Use integrated architectural elements to provide adequate screening and appropriately conceal service equipment and areas.
All service equipment and areas shall either be screened by building wall parapets or masonry screen walls.
C-2.4.2.3.2. Screen service equipment at ground level from pedestrian and vehicular view to a minimum height of the equipment on all sides and
integrate with the building design and site layout.
All ground level service equipment shall be screened from pedestrian and vehicular view by either the building or masonry screen walls to a
minimum height of the equipment.
C-2.4.2.3.3. Screen service and building equipment that is attached or on top of structures from public view. Use pedestrian lines of sightfrom the
farthest edge of the adjoining right-of-way to determine the height and effectiveness of screening.
All rooftop equipment will be screened by wall parapets that have been designed around the pedestrian lines of site from the Farthest edge of the
adjoining right-of-way.
C-2.4.2.3.4. Use screening techniques, architectural elements, and materials that are consistent with the building design and do not detract from
the aesthetic appearance of the building and adequately conceal equipment.
All service equipment is adequately concealed using materials and screening techniques that fully integrate with the building design. All roof top
equipment is screened by building wall parapets and all ground level equipment is screened by masonry walls that seem like extensions of the
building facade.
2.5 Materials
C-2.5.2.1. Buildings with facades that face multiple roadways and/ or public spaces should use consistent material combinations, quality, and
detailing to unify the building design.
The proposed building will have a consistency in the elevations that face roadways and public spaces through the use of material combinations of
split-face cmu, Quik brick, horizontal banding, accent materials, and an earth tone color palette.
C-2.5.2.2. Use complementary material combinations that contribute to a cohesive building design. Use materials from the following basic groups:
wood, masonry; concrete, metal, and glazing.
The proposed building uses a mix of painted split-face cmu and integrally colored CMU for exterior walls, stone veneer as an accent material,
glazing at entry vestibules, metal for awnings, and synthetic stucco to create a material combination that contributes to a cohesive building design.

C-2.5.2.2.1. Select combinations that emphasize a finished composition and enhance human scale for lower stories and pedestrian scale at ground
level.
The proposed building will feature materials such as stone veneer, synthetic stucco, and integrally colored CMU at ground level. Lower roof
heights, added detailing of pilasters, and added cornice articulation around building entries reinforces the human scale at ground level.
C-2.6.2.2.2.Concrete masonry that provides texture, interest, and detail may be appropriate for building designs; however, the use of ordinary,
smooth face block, unfinished, colored, or painted, is not an acceptable finish material for building facades along roadways, adjacent to public
spaces, and residential areas.
Smooth face block is not used as an exterior finish material.
C-2.5.2.2.3. Use well-detailed, proportioned, and durable materials that will weather and age gracefully, adding to the architectural character over
time. Avoid non-durable materials that deteriorate quickly and require frequent maintenance or replacement.
All materials proposed are durable and can be maintained overtime. Materials include painted split-face CMU, stone veneer, synthetic stucco
(EIFS), and integrally colored CMU.
C-2.5.2.2.4. Create interest and variety in fayade design to establish attractive architectural character and human scale.
Interest and variety in faSade design is established with glazing at the entry vestibules, detailed arcades with awnings adjacent to entries, and
variation in colors and materials.
C-2.5.2.2.5. Provide pattern, texture, and detail in the building design and distinguish field materials from accent materials.
The proposed building will include glazing, masonry, and accent materials to provide pattern, texture, and detailing in the building design, while
distinguishing field materials from accent materials through scale and placement. Field materials enforce the building scale and accent materials
support the human scale.
C-2.5.2.3. Where materials transition or terminate, provide detailing to express the natural appearance of the material. (For example, stone or
stone-like products should convey the appearance of mass and should not appear as a thin veneer.)
Materials and wall treatments on the building always wrap corners and never terminate at the edge, giving the perception of mass.
C-2.5.2.4. Use colors that complement the use of building materials and support innovative and good design practices.
Colors used in the building are of earth tones and help reinforce the natural aesthetics of materials such as the split-face CMU and stone veneer
used in the project.
C-2.5.2.4.1. The use of subtle, neutral, and natural tones for field materials should complement accent colors and materials. The use of deep earth
tones or saturated colors to distinguish building facades should enhance the building design and be compatible with adjacent structures.
The buildings color palette and material choice reflect a natural and neutral tone that enhances the building design.
C-2.5.2.4.2. The use of intensely bright and fluorescent colors, as well as the widespread use of saturated hues without complementary colors,
materials, and accents, is discouraged.
The building does not incorporate intensely bright and florescent colors.
C-2.5.2.4.3. Materials or colors with high reflectance, such as metal or reflective glazing, should be reviewed and evaluated with the Planning staff
to minimize glare on roadways, public spaces, and adjacent uses and to determine appropriateness.
All materials are finished as to not be highly reflective.
2.6 Signs & Lighting
C-2.6.3.1. Where appropriate, use lighting on building exteriors to promote safe pedestrian environments along roadways, at intersections, and in
public spaces.
An appropriate use of lighting is used on the proposed building's exterior as to promote a safe pedestrian environment. At all entrances,
emergency exits, and unloading/loading situations sufficient lighting is provided. Accent decorative lighting is used at main entrances to visually
define the entrance, as well as provide additional lighting in this area.
C-2.6.3.1.1. Coordinate lighting fixture spacing and height along streetscapes and roadways to avoid conflicts with tree plantings.
Lighting fixtures spacing and height along streetscapes and roadways will be coordinated to avoid conflicts with tree plantings.

C-2.6.3.1.3. The use of architectural lighting is encouraged to beenergy-efficient and easily maintained, in addition to providing attractive qualities
to building character and public spaces.
All architectural lighting is energy efficient and limited to public spaces and instances to support the building character. Accent lights have been
incorporated at main entrances for aesthetic and functional purposes.
C-2.6.3.1.3. Lighting fixtures used on building exteriors should be integrated with building design and coordinated with architectural elements and
building entries.
Lighting fiMUres on the building exterior are integrated with the building design. Lighting is coordinated with entry vestibules, public spaces, and
signage.
C-2.6.3.2. Signs should be integrated with architectural elements and complement building designs and materials. Relate the size, shape, materials,
details, and illumination to a pedestrian scale as appropriate, in addition to accommodating vehicles.
The building signs are integrated as architectural elements and compliment the building design. The primary building identification wall features
the main tenant wall sign, with smaller more pedestrian scale signs used as away-finding tool to blend the interior function with the exterior
building design.
C-2.6.3.2.1. Provide signs to identify individual storefronts, buildings, and uses along roadways, pedestrian environments, and within
developments. Avoid large, single signs with multiple tenants.
In addition to a tenant sign at the brand wall, smaller signs are used as directional signs to help customers located internal shopping departments.
C-2.6.3.2.2. Use corporate and business logos to identify developments and businesses along roadways, pedestrian environments, and adjacent to
public spaces.
The use of the corporate business logo is used on the main brand wall between the two entry vestibules.
C-2.6.3.2.3. Use appropriately scaled signs that incorporate logos, minimize or eliminate the use of large amounts of text, and are compatible with
the architectural character and design of the building.
Wall signage used is simple and to the point, calling out "Market" for the grocery side of the store, "Home.& Pharmacy" for general merchandise,
"Outdoor Living' for the garden center, and "Auto Center' forthe auto tenter.
C-2.6.3.2.4. Where buildings are brought up close to roadways, pedestrian environments, and public spaces, use appropriate urban sign types that
address pedestrian sight lines in addition to vehiculartraffic.
Appropriate signage will be used to address pedestrian sight lines in addition to vehicular traffic. signage along the East facade will help denote
between the grocery and general merchandise sides of the store and the entrance to the garden center. The North facade signage acts as way
finding to the Tire & Lube shop from the adjacent roadway and the parking lot.
C-2.6.3.2.5. Decorative flags and banners should promote the identity of place and enhance the character and attractiveness of buildings and public
spaces rather than advertise.
Decorative flags and banners will not be used. A flagpole at the front of the store will be provided for the flying of an American flag, giving identity
to place and enhancing the character of the building.
