Adopt the action of the City Council taken at their Janttaty 20, 2004 meeting as follows:
For clarification:
The applicant submitted a Revised Cherry Lane Office Parlc Staff Report response
letter dated December 11, 2003, and which letter is on record with the Meridian
City Clerk's office.
The applicant clarified at the January 2Q 2004 public hearing that the vehicle
parking has been moved so that it runs north-south, this is to allow additional
landscaping across the front for more depth. The landscaping bc~nceen the
buildings and the back property is actually 1 ~ feet.
3. The project is designated to have four buildings, but the Preliminary Plat shows
six lots on the site. The reason for that is to provide some additional landscaping
where the sixth building would have been and provide additional parking stalls.
In the future is this site develops, and it's a use that is very low in use, then if
there is not a need for parking, it is anticipated that it would be the last site to be
built (if there is no need for additional parking, then the site could be built on).
13. As stated in MCC 12-6-1, "The purpose of the planned development process is to
provide opportunity for land development that preserves and utilized natural topographic,
geologic and scenic features; allows a more efficient pattern of residential, conunercial and
industrial uses; tasters innovative design concepts and promotes flexibility in site design; and
provides for aommai oven syrace or other tnnenities not found in traditional lot-by-lot
development." Deviations from the development standards and/or area requirements of the zone
maybe approved with a PD application.
As part of the Planned Development (PD) the Applicant is seeking relief tiom the
standard parking lot dimensions, front setbacks and landscape buffers as required by Meridian
City Code. Due to the location of the existing church to the north and west property tines, and
the location of the existing pazking lot south of the church building, the required landscape
buffers, setbacks, and parking lot dimensions on the western portion of the site are not proposed

• d •
in accordance with Meridian City Code. Further, the Applicant is requesting modiEcatioos to the
standard development requirements for the landscape buffer along Cherry Lane and new building
setbacks east ofthe western driveway. It is found that the site is lame enough to accommodate
the 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.
]4. The subject site is designated "Public/Quasi-Public" on the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map. Chapter 7 ofthe Comprehensive Plan defines Public, Quasi-Public and Open
Space as areas designated to preserve and protect existing private, municipal, state, and federal land
For area residents and visitors. Theses areas include neighborhood, community, and urban parks.
Government facilities, public and private schools, health care facilities, churches, utilities, parl: and
recreational areas, and cemeteries are also considered public/quasi-public type uses. The Zoning
Schedule ofUse Control Table requires nursing homes in the L-O zone to obtain a Conditional Use
Permit The Applicant has applied for a Conditional Use Permit and requested modification of
building setbacks, landscape buffers, and parking lot dimensions as part of the PD for the CUP.
It is found that the existing church, proposed for conversion to a nrtrsing home facility
(health care), meets the definition of aquasi-public use and is in accordance with the Zoning
Ordinance except where noted herein (i.e., requested reduction of standards as stated with the PD
application). The other five lots within this development, proposed for office use, do not meet the
strict definition of a public or quasi-public use as defined in Chapter 7 ofthe Comprehensive Plan.
However, the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation appears to have been assi<<ued
to this property because the church existed on the site when the designations were prepared. Future
or further development of church sites into office type uses was most likely never anticipated for this

v
site or other churches that have the same L-O zoning and comprehensive land use designation as the
subject site. Because the Five proposed office pad sites meet the general requirements outlined intlae
Zoning Ordinance for the L-O zone, and because limiting the subject site to develop with only the
uses listed in the Comprehensive Plan seems excessive, it is reconnnended approval oFthe proposed
office use on this site.
15. It is found that the general design, constnrction, operation, and maintenance
should be compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing character
of Che area. It is aclalowledged that the existing character of the area will, and is, currently
changing. It is also found that redevelopment of this site will not adversely change the essential
character of area.
16. It is not anticipated that the proposed ases will adversely affect the other properties in
the vicinity.
17. Water service is proposed for extension to the site from the existing line in Cherry
Lane. Currently the existing church is provided sanitary sewer service via a gravity service line that
exits the rear of the building and proceeds underground between the two adjacent homes to the west.
The Applicant is proposing to install a sewage lift station to pump the waste from the new proposed
structures to the same discharge point. If tlns site can not be served by gravity sewer, Che lift station
shall be private. The Applicant may enter into an operation and maintenance contract with the City
for the facility.
ACRD staff has approved this application with conditions for driveway
location/consn'uction and 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 to serve the site will be fire and
police services. It is found that there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and
that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
19. The proposed uses on the subject property would create additional traffic on nearby
arterial roadways. On Apri14, 2002, there were 14,352 vehicle trips on Cherry Lane, west of Linder.
ACHD staff has estimated that this development would generate 116 additiona] vehicle trips per day
(98 existing) based on the Instihite ofTransportationEngineers Trip Generation Manual Atthougll
the development of this site will create additional traffic on the surrounding roadways, it is not
believed that the amount of vehicle trips generated by the proposed development would be
detrimental to the overall welfare of the public, commuters, residences, or property in the area.
The fact is also recognized that traffic and noise may increase with the development
of this site. It is not anticipated that the development of this site will create excessive traffic, noise,
smoke, fumes, glare, or odors.
20. ACHD staff has reviewed and approved two vehicular approaches to the site from
Chevy Lane. Review of the ACHD report for this project will provide for additiona] information
regarding this finding.
21. There are no natural or scenic feature(s) of major importance in the area that maybe
affected by the proposed development.
