City Council hereby makes the following Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision and
Order to-wit:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. A notice of a public hearing on the conditional use pemlit was published for two
(2) consecutive weeks prior to the said public hearing scheduled for December 2, 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 December 2, 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 I-L zone and by reason of the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF
LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 2 OF 25
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 on the northeast corner of Olive Avenue and E. Florence
Street, and is also known as Lot 11, Block 1 of Treasure Valley Business Center Subdivision,
Meridian, Idaho. The following uses surround the subject property:
North - Vacant/undeveloped lots within T.V. Business Center No. 1, zoned I-L,
and the new Krispy Kreme shop
South -Primary Health and the Treasure Valley Business Center -Phase 2,
zoned I-L
East - The Crossroads Shopping Center, zoned I-L (with a Conditional Use
Permit to allow retail and drive-through)
West- Vacant/undeveloped lots within T.V. Business Center No. 1, zoned I-L
5. The owner of record of the subject property is Community Properties/Ammon,
LLC, represented by Dale F. Nagy. Mr. Nagy has granted consent to BRS Architects to submit
the application.
6. Applicant is Wenw, Inc. The applicant, Wenco, Inc., is reques5ng approval of a
detailed Planned Development (PD) to construct three (3) buildings on an existing, single lot of
record. The lot of record is platted as Lot 11, Block 1 in Treasure Valley Business Center
(TVBC) No. 1 and is approximately two acres in size. TVBC was initially platted in 1985 by
Upland Industries and was annexed with an I-L zone and a Development Agreement (DA) that
allows, among other uses, restaurants, retail and office in the I-L zone. In January 2003, this lot
was approved as part of Treasure Valley Business Center (TVBC) -Phase 3 preliminary plat by
the Commission and City Council for a re-subdivision into four (4) new lots. To date, no Final
Plat application has been submitted to the City for TVBC -Phase 3. It is nonetheless anticipated
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF
LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 3 OF 25
that each of the proposed buildings will eventually be on their own separate lot of record,
assuming a final plat is submitted within the required timeframes set by Meridian City Code.
The TVBC -Phase 3 preliminary plat had a companion conceptual PD application (CUP-02-
036) which established a base of uses and building configurations for the entire 18-acre TVBC -
Phase 3 development. Anew PD application is required because the applicant is proposing
multiple buildings on a single lot. A CUP application is also required for approval of the two
drive-thru facilities.
7. The subject property is cun•ently zoned I-L (Light Industrial). The zoning district
of I-Lis defined within the City of Meridian Zoning and Development Ordinance, Section 11-7-
2.
8. The proposed application requests a conditional use permit for a Planned
Development to site three (3) buildings on Lot 11 and to construct two drive-thru facilities on the
lot. The Zoning Schedule of Use Control shows that all drive-thru facilities require a
Conditional Use Permit in the I-L zone (City of Meridian Zonirig and Development Ordinance,
Section 11-8-1). The applicant is requesting detailed approval of all three (3) buildings and
elevations were submitted for each building; although only two of the buildings - Wendy's and
Kinkos/Starbucks -are planned for construction at this time. The total amount of proposed
building area on the site is 14, 200 square feet. The site has afloor-to-area ration of .16 FAR.
Assuming the future building (6,500 sq. ft.) is submitted with an elevation and building envelope
that substantially match what is shown in the application, a future CUP application will not be
required.
9. The proposed application is in compliance with the Meridian Comprehensive
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF
LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING

Plan, which designates the subject property as "Industrial".
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
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

L Adopt the action of the City Council taken at their December 2, 2003 meeting as follows:
For clarification:
1. The applicant, in their letter through BRS Architects dated 11/04/03, provides for the
following information for Condition #10 of the Staff report:
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF
LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 9 OF 25
a. The drive-thru configuration has been revised for the Starbucks allowing a
minimum 7 car stack.
b. The future pad layout has been revised and the associated parking to meet
the MCC requirements.
c. The applicant shall be submitting a Final Plat but will not be requesting a
PUD approval or providing additional amenities.
d. The applicant has provided added glazing to the west elevation for the
future pad building.
e. The applicant shall be providing an all weather access to the north as
agreed to by the adjacent property owner and the Meridian Fire Department.
Cross-access agreements shall be provided.
2. The applicant shall only be issued one building permit and certificate of occupancy for
this single lot until such time as the Final Plat is submitted, approved and recorded.
3. The applicant was given approval by the Fire Department to provide a temporary
turnaround with an all weather surface capable ofhandling 70,000 pounds, until such time as
there is an approved building to the north of the property.
4. Pertaining to drive-thrus, the applicant shall be taking 9' more to the south for a
drive-thru, and provide a concrete curb barrier between the two drive-thrus, between
Stazbucks and Wendy's. Additionally, no other drive-thrus will be permitted on this lot.
5. ACross-Access Agreement is provided for within the Declaration Of Covenants,
Conditions, Easements And Restrictions For Crossroads Business Center located under
paragraph 3. Easements, and in particulaz at subsections 3.2 and 3.3.
6. The applicant submitted a revised Site Plan to the Clerk's office with the following
information: Title: Wendy's/Stazbucks -Treasure Valley Business Center, Sheet CU-2,
Drawn by: BRS, Date: 8/28/03; Revised 12/3/03, Job No. 02065.06, and this plat is hereby
approved.
13. It is found that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the proposed
uses, but only assuming the 6,500 sq. ft. future pad is not 100% retail uses. All minimum yard,
building setbacks, landscape setbacks and parking standazds are met as shown on the Site Plan.
Since the original application, the applicant submitted a revised calculation for the number of
required pazking stalls for the Wendy's and Stazbucks/Kinkoshuildings. MCC 11-13-5 requires five
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF
LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 10 OF 25
(5) stalls per customer drive-thru window plus one (1) stall for every 200 sq. ft. of floor area (for
restaurant and retail uses). Using this factor, Wendy's will require 24 stalls, Starbucks will require
13 stalls and Kinkos will require 18 stalls - for a total of 55 stalls for these two buildings. If the
6,500 sq. ft. building were 100% retail, a minimum of 33 stalls would be required. Therefore, it is
found that the site could accommodate the proposed buildings but only if the future building is a use
that demands less parking than retail (e.g. office). Another option is to reduce the size of the future
building and still provide a dominantly retail use. (Note: Since the original submittal, the applicant
provided a revised drawing which reduces this building from 6,500 sq. ft. to 5,000 sq, ft.)
It is also found that the drive-thru stacking depth shown for the Starbucks may not be
adequate to provide a safe traffic circulation pattern on the site. The stacking is adequate for
approximately four (4) standard vehicles (15' length) without impeding the parking area in front of
Starbucks. It is recommended that the customer window be moved further north on the building's
east elevation to provide for additional stacking. (See Council action from their December 2, 2003
meeting, letter I. l .a. herein below.)
14. The 2002 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as
"industrial". However, it is found that there is a recorded Development Agreement tied to this
property which pre-dates the Comprehensive Plan and allows for uses other than light industrial,
including the proposed restaurant and service uses. The proposed uses are compatible with the
auto-oriented nature and existing uses in this area (e.g. Crossroads Shopping Center, Primary
Health, Krispy Kreme).
It is further found that the project substantially meets the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance, with the exception of the Planned Development (PD) chapter (MCC-12-6). MCC-12-

6-2.A requires that all PDs provide at least two amenities. The code does not differentiate
between residential and non-residential PDs nor does it set a minimum project area. There does
not appear to be any amenities proposed for this project. It is recommended the following two
options be considered (See Staff report Site Specific Condition #3):
a. Approve the application as submitted with a condition that only one building be
constructed at this time, until the plat for Treasure Valley Business Center -Phase
3 is recorded. (The existing lot is permitted one building permit without a PD
application. This option would avoid the requirement to provide amenities.)
b. Revise the Site Plan and application form to provide the required amenities in
accordance with MCC-12-6-2.A. (Under this option a public hearing would be
continued to review any revised documents.) (See Council action from their
December 2, 2003 meeting under I. 1. c.)
15. It is found that the design concept to be compatible with the intended character of
the area (commercial and auto-oriented). The proposed elevations and building materials will
complement the Krispy Kreme and Primary Health buildings. The proposed Eagle Road
landscaping is consistent with landscaping both north and south of the site. There are two
outstanding questions related to the proposed building elevations the applicant should address:
a. The west elevation of the future pad building, which is oriented to Olive
Avenue, should be further enhanced with windows to improve the street appeal
and provide a more pedestrian fiiendly atmosphere along Olive Avenue.
b. The west elevation of the future pad building also shows four (4) delivery doors.
However, the site plan does not show a sidewalk to serve these doors.
(Note: Since the original submittal, the applicant provided a revised elevation that shows
the delivery doors on the north elevation (vs. the west), where a sidewalk is proposed and
will serve these doors.)
The existing character of the property to be developed is service oriented. The proposed
development will not change the existing character of the area and will not adversely change the
essenfial character of the azea.

16. It is not anticipated that the proposed development will have an adverse impact
on the majority of the surrounding property. All proposed uses involve indoor activities and the
access points to Olive and Florence Streets are restricted to provide for a safe traffic. pattern.
17. It is found that the proposed use will be served adequately by all the essential
public services and facilities. The ACHD Commission previously approved the preliminary plat
for TVBC -Phase 3, which included this lot. The Meridian Fire Department submitted a memo
dated 10-16-03 which recommends several standard conditions on the project. These conditions
have been included in the recommended conditions of approval.
18. It is found that the proposed use will not create additional requirements at public
cost for public services and facilities. Said facilities already exist to serve the development.
Other improvements such as lighting, landscaping, and traffic control devices will be funded by
the developer.
19. It is found that the proposed commercial and restaurant uses will not involve any
activities or condifions that will be detrimental to any persons or property. Increased traffic
concerns have been addressed by ACHD in their report for TVBC -Phase 3.
20. It is found that the vehiculaz approaches to the property are designed so as not to
significantly interfere with existing street traffic. To help ensure the vehicle/parking lot design
does not adversely impact adjacent properties, it is recommended that the developer record a
cross-access easement with the lot to the north (Lot 10, Block 1 of TVBC Subdivision No. 1) in
order to ensure this development has two points of access.
It is further found that the approved preliminary plat for TVBC -Phase 3 provides
internal vehicular cross access between the buildings. Since this application is for a single lot, a

cross parking easement is not necessary. (See Council action taken at their December 2, 2003
under letter I. 5.)
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.
22. The City Council recognizes the opposition letter submitted into record by Yellow
Transportation, Inc. dated November 26, 2003.
