features required by ordinance, the Applicant has asked, through the Plamted Development, to
modify specific development standards.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION 9ND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 9 OF 24
The purpose of the Planned Development (PD) is to allow for modifications from
the development standards of the underlying zone in order to encourage mixed-use projects, and
to permit secondary uses which are integrated with and support the primary use. It is found that
the proposed office use will support the primary multi-family use by having services close to
residences, thereby reducing traffic congestion on nearby roadways, reducing air pollution, and
creating an efficient use of the land.
Relief from the frontage, setback and lot size standards were specifically
requested in the conditional use permit (PD) application. It is found that most of Che proposed
lots do not meet the frontage, setback and lot size standards of the L-O zone. In fact, most of the
lots do not have any frontage on a roadway at all, as the applicant is proposing shared private
driveways for the access and parking. There is support of the requested lot frontage, setback and
lot site deviations because all of the proposed buildable lots within the subdivision have access to
the common parking/drive lot and the proposed lots can accommodate The proposed building
envelopes with a modification to the standard setbacks. See Special Consideration "A" for
detailed analysis of the allowable setbacks for this development.
Meridian City Code 12-13-16 requires all multi-family developments to provide
common open space that equals or exceeds ten percent of the gross land area. Common open
space means land exclusive of street rights-of--way and street buffers, except for right-of-way
specifically dedicated for landscaping within a subdivision. At a minimum, common open space
lots shall include one deciduous shade tree per 8,000 square feet and lawn, either seed or sod
(MCC 12-13-16-5). hi addition to the common open space requirement, Meridian City Code 12-
6-2.A.4 states that all residential planned developments shall provide each dwelling unit with at
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE l0 OF 24
least one htmdred square feet of useable private open space, such as a patio or deck In the
Applicant's submittal letter, it is stated that 13% of the site is open space. ,Lots 22, 42, and 77
meet the definition of common open space, and together these areas exceed the ten percent
minimum. See Special Consideration "C".
It is found that the site is large enough to accommodate die proposed uses and all
yards, open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features required by ordinance and/or by
modifying the requirements through the Planned Development process.
14. The subject site is designated "High Density Residential" on the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map. Chapter 7 of the Comprehensive Plan defines High Density Residential as
areas allowing for the development of multi-family homes in areas where urban services are
provided. The L-O zone allows offices.
It is found that the proposed development is harmonious with and in accordance with
the adopted Comprehensive Plan and in general conformance with the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance and that the development plan is consistent with the recorded rezone resolution and
development agreement approved by the City for this site.
1 ~. It is found that the general design, constniction, operation, and maintenance should be
compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character
of the area.
16. It is not anticipated that the proposed uses will adversely affect the other properties in
the vicinity.
] 7. Sanitary sewer and water service is proposed via extension to the site from the
existing main lines in Millennium Way and Overland Road.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER
GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 11 OF 24
ACRD has approved this application, with conditions for driveway location and
construction as well as their standard requirements.
18. The developer will be required to finance the extension of sewer, water, utilities
and pressurized irrigation to serve the project. The primary public costs Co serve the site will be
fire and police services. IC is found Chat there will not be excessive additional requirements at
public cost and that the proposed use will not be den-imental to the community's economic.
welfare.
19. As this site builds out, it will produce additional traffic on nearby arterial
roadways. According to ACHD traffic counts, on June ]0, 2002, there were 12,115 vehicle trips
on Overland Road, east of Locust Grove Road. On June 11, 2002, there were 3,856 vehicle trips
on Locust Grove Road, south of Overland Road. On February 27, 2002, there were 22,670
vehicle trips on Eagle Road, north of Overland Road. This year, Overland Road was widened to
5-lanes and curb, gutter and new sidewalk was constructed abutting the site. The Overland Road
widening project added additional capacity to the arterial. The fact is recognized that traffic and
noise will increase with the developmenC of this site. However, it is not anticipated that the
development of this site will create excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
20. ACHD has reviewed and approved one vehicular approach to the site from
Overland Road and three approaches from Millennium Way. Review of the ACHD report for
this project will provide additional information.
21. It is not anticipated that any natural or scenic feature(s) of major importance in the
area will be affected by the proposed development.
