APPLICATIONS SUMMARY
The Applicam, David Waldron, has applied for Preliminary Plat (PP) and Conditional Use
Pennit/Planned Development (CUP/PD) approval of eleven buildable lots and one
other/common lot on 15.8 acres of C-G zoned property. Within the eleven buildable lots, the
Applicant is requesting conceptual CUP approval of 43,070 square-feet of office space, 33,912
square-feet of commercial space, 6,000 square-feet of retaiUservice space, and 25,125 square-
feet for self storage units. The she is located on the northeast corner of Franklin Road and Nola
Road. The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as "Commercial."
In 2001, the City approved a request for annexation and zoning of this site to C-G (General
Retail and Service Commercial District). Concurrem with the annexation and zoning, a 3-lot
commercial subdivision application was processed. This commercial subdivision, Sparrowhawk
Subdivision, recorded in 2003. In 2002, the City approved the Foothills Apartments (CUP-02-
001), a 54-unit multi-family development on Lot 1, Block 1, of Sparrowhawk Subdivision. The
apartment complex was approved using a 20% use exception as allowed by Meridian City Code.
Along with the apartment complex, CUP-02-001 also included a request for conceptual approval
of 12 commercial buildings containing 134,760 square feet of retail, warehouse, and otFice uses

on Lots 2 and 3, Block 1. Some of the conceptual uses that were proposed included: a
convenience store, car wash, gymnastic center, bank, and restaurants. The subject applications
propose to modify CUP-02-001.
As part of the PD the Applicant is requesting to defer construction of the required 35-foot
landscape buffer along Franklin Road until final site excavation is underway. The Applicant is
also requesting Alternative Compliance to the required landscape buffer along the north property
line. See Special Consideration "A" in the Conditional Use Permit section of this report for
detailed analysis of this request.
The Applicant is proposing to wnstruct picnic benches within the landscape areas, just off the
entries as amenities for the PD. See Special Considerations "B" in the Conditional Use Fermit
section of this report for a detailed analysis of the proposed amenities and the design thereof.
The subject applications (PP and .CUP) were submitted concurrently to the Planning & Zoning
Department for review. Staff has provided a detailed analysis and recommended conditions of
approval for the requested preliminary plat and conditional use permit applications below. Staff
recommends approval of the subject preliminary plat (PP-03-Od3) and conditional use permit

Meridian City Code (MCC) 12-3-3 7.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the
acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of
this title and at least the following:
A. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development
Plan;
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the land to be
"Commercial" In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, "Commercial" areas
are anticipated to provide a full range of commercial and retail to serve area
residents and visitors. Uses may include retail, wholesale, service and office uses,
multi-family residernial, as weal as appropriate public uses such as government
offices. Staff finds that the proposed commercial subdivision, with arnicipated
uses to include: office, retail, self-storage, and other commercial services, is
harmonious with and in accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan.
B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed
development;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water,
utilities and irrigation services needed to serve the project. The primary public
costs to serve the future residents will be fire and police services. On January 9,
2004, a joint agency/departmern comments meeting was held with representatives
of key service providers to this property. See detailed conditions from these
agencies at the end of this report. Staff fmds that public services can be made
available to accommodate the proposed development. The Commission and
Council should reference any written and/or verbal testimony submitted by the
Meridian Police and Fire Departments regarding their ability to adequately service
this project.
C. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement
program;
Because the developer is required to install sewer, water, utilities and irrigation,
for the developmem at their cost, staff finds that the subdivision will not conflict
with the capital improvement program.
D. The public fmancial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff finds that the City and its related services are capable of servicing the
proposed development. The development will not require major expenditures for
providing supporting services. Staff recammends that the Commission and
Council consider the Meridian Police, Parks, and Fire Departments' comments
with regard to their capability to serve the proposed development.

E. 'll~e other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to
the Commission's attention.
Staff finds that there should not be any healh, safety or environmental problems
associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or
Commission's attention. ACRD considers road safety issues in their analysis; no
hazardous natural features have been identified on the site. Staff finds the
Commission and Council should rely on any public testimony that may be
presented to determine whether the proposed use may cause health, safety or
environmental problems of which staff is unaware.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS-PRELIlVIINARY PLAT
A Landscape Buffers:
Land-Use Buffers: Meridian City Code 12-13-12-4 requires a 20-foot wide landscape
buffer between C-G property (e.g.- storage units) and many of the uses in the I-L zone.
Meridian City Code 12-13-12-2 requires the land use buffer to be provided by the higher
irnensity use and to be located on the building site of the higher intensity use. If a lower
intensity use is proposed adjacent to an existing higher intensity use with no buffer, the
lower inrtensity use must provide the required buffer (MCC 12-13-12-2}. As allowed in
MCC 12-13-18, the Applicant is proposing an alternative to the standard 20-foot wide
landscape buffer between the subject site and the industrial uses to the north. See Special
Consideration "A" in the Conditional Use Permit section below for analysis.
As a wndition of approval for the annexation and zoning of this site in 2001, the
Applicant was required to enter into a development agreement with the City. Included in
said development agreemem was a requirement that a 25-foot wide landscape buffer be
provided abutting the residence to the northwest. A 25-foot wide landscape easement was
provided around the existing single-family to the northwest of the site with the platting of
Sparrowhawk Subdivision No. 1. As of the print deadline for this report, landscape
materials within the easement around the single-family home have not been installed. The
Applicant should be required to install landscape materials in accordance with Meridian
City Code within the 25-foot wide landscape easeme~rt. See Site Specific Condition #2
below.
Street Buffer: With the platting of Sparrowhawk Subdivision No.l, a 41-foot wide
landscape easement was provided along Franklin Road, an arterial roadway. Also with
the platting of Sparrowhawk Subdivision No. 1, a 10-foot wide landscape easement was
provided along Nola Road, a local/commercial roadway. MCC 12-13-10-6 requires street
buffers to be planted with trees and shrubs, lawn, or other vegetative groundcover, with a
minimum density of one tree per 35 linear feet. The Applicant should be required to
wnstruct a 10-foot wide landscape buffer on Nola Road in accordance with MCC12-13-
10.6.
NOTE: This section of Nala Road is designated on the Comprehensive Plan to have a
multi-use pathway. Staff is recommending that the pathway not be constructed on this
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
P&Z Hearing Date: February 5, 2004
Page 5
side (east side) of Nola Road. See Special Consideration "B" below for detailed
information.
Within the 41-foot wide easemern adjacent to Franklin Road, the Applicant will be
required to construct (or road trust with ACHD) a 5-foot wide detached sidewalk, with
the rest of the buffer being improved with landscape materials. See CUP Special
Consideration "A" for more information on the timing for construction of said
landscaping & sidewalk on Franklin Road.
B. Multi-Use Pathway: On the Comprehensive Pian Future Land Use Map, amulti-use
pathway is shown adjacent to Nola. Road. Staff is recommending that the pathway not be
constructed on the east side of Nola Road, abutting this site. If a multi-use pathway is
constructed on Nola Road, as shown on the Comprehensive Plan, it should be on the west
side of the street because most of the parcels on this side of the street are undeveloped.
Staff anticipates that the parcels on the west side of Nola Road will be developed in the
near future, at which amulti-use pathway requiremem should be imposed on those
applicants. Instead of a multi-use pathway, the subject Applicant should be required to
construct a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on Nola Road adjacent to the site. See Site
Specific Condition #3 below.
NOTE: With the completion of the Locust Grove Road extension project, ACHD will be
constructing cul-de-sacs on both ends of Nola Road prior to it crossing the railroad tracks
because the Union Pacific Railroad has a policy of "no new net crossings." Planning and
Parks staff will be working with the railroad company and ACRD on designing a
pedestrian crossing of the tracks, whether it be on Nola Road as shown on the
Comprehensive Plan or in another location in the area.
C. Cross-Access/Parkina: The Applicant has provided ample parking for the proposed uses
on site. Based on the proposed square footage of the uses, 162 parking stalls are required.
The submitted site plan shows 323 stalls.
The Applicant is proposing three access points onto Franklin Road and one access point
onto Nola Road to serve the developmern. ACRD staff has reviewed the access points for
compliance with policy (see ACRD report). The three access poims to Franklin Road
connect the future office and commercial uses with the existing Foothills Apartments.
The Applicant has told staff that the cross access agreemem ,for the shared .driveway
along the east side of this site has already been executed. Due to topography constraints,
the retail service driveway (I.ot 1) on the comer of Nola Road and Franklin Road does
not connect with the commercial and office portions of this developmern. Because all of
the lots within the development, and the apartment complex to the east, share access
points, drive-aisles and parking, the Applicant should be required to record a cross
parking/aoss access agreemern for the office and commercial lots. See Site Specific
Condition #4 below.
D. Landscape Plan: The submitted landscape plan showing landscaping adjacent to Nola
Road and Franklin Road, prepared by The Land Group, Inc., and dated 11-21-01 is
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
P&Z Hearing Date: February 5, 2004

approved. This landscape plan is consistent with the landscape plan approved with
Sparrowhawk Subdivision #1, which the City currently holds a surety for.
E>usting_Trees: Any tree wer 4" in caliper that is removed from the property shall be
replaced by installing additional trees, being the equivalent number of caliper inches of
trees that were removed. Required landscaping trees will not be considered as
replacement trees for those trees that are removed.
Fencin : A minimum 6-foot fence shall be required around the perimeter of the
subdivision unless the City agrees in writing that such a fence is not required. All fencing
shall be installed in accordance with MCC 12-4-10. The Applicant is proposing to
construct an 8-foot chain link fence with slats along the north property line and an 8-foot
retaining wall around the stowage units on Lot 5. MCC 12-4-10.I allows 8-foot tall fences
in the C-G zone. A detailed fencing plan should be submitted upon application of the
final plat (MCC 12-4-10.F.3).
E. Pressure Irri atg ion: Undeaground year-round pressurized inigation must be provided to
all lots within this development (MCC 12-5-2.I+1). The City of Meridian requires that
pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water (MCC 12-13-
8.3). The Applicant shall be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the
primary source. If a surface or well source is not available, asingle-point connection to
the culinary water system shall be required. If a single-point connection is utilized, the
developer shall be responsible for the payment o€ assessments for the common areas prior
to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer. The Applicant has indicated that Dee
R. Lynn will own and operate the pressurized irrigation system within this development.
Since the developer is David Waldron, staff is unclear about the details of this ownership.
A draft copy of the pressurized irrigation system O&M manual must be submitted prior
to plan approval

FACTS AND FINDINGS FOR CONDITIONAL USES
The Commission and Council shall review the particulaz facts and circumstances of each
proposed conditional use in terms of the following and may approve a conditional use permit if
they shall find evidence preserved at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3):
A. That the site is large enough to aceommodate the proposed use and all yards, open
spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by this
ordinance;
As part of the Planned Development (PD) the Applicant is seeking relief from the
standazd requirement to construct the 35-foot wide street buffer on Franklin Road prior to
occupancy of any of the buildings. Further, the Applicant is requesting a modification to
the standard development requirements for a land use buffer between the industrial uses
to the north. See Special Consideration #1 below.
Although the site is large enough to accommodate all of the features required by
ordinance, the Applicant has asked, through the Planned Development, to modify specific
development standards. Staff finds that the site is large 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.
B. That the proposed use and development plea will be harmonious with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan and io accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance;
Staff finds that the proposed mixed-use subdivision is hazmonious with and in accordance
with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which designates the land
to be "Commercial," provided the Commission and Council grant the requested planned
development..
C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance wiR be compatible with
other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character
of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential
character of the same area;
PP-03bL1, CUP-03-0fi6 ST~ow~wk.PP.CUPdoc
Planning 8t Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council
P&Z Hearing Date: February 5, 2004
Page 10
If the landscape buffers are constructed as outlined in this report, staff finds that the
general design, construction, operation, and maintenance should be compatible with other
uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended chazacter of the area.
D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed,
will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed development will have an adverse impact on
the surrounding property. However, staff recommends that the Commission and Council
rely upon public testimony, staff's analysis, and other agency comments when
determining if the proposed uses will adversely affect the other properties in the vicinity.
E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, street, police, and Ere protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of
proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such services;
The Commission and Council should reference any written or verbal testimony submitted
by the Meridian Police Department regazding their ability to adequately service this
project. The Meridian Fire Department has submitted a list of conditions and needs in
order to adequately serve the project (see attachment). Water and sanitazy sewer service
are proposed to be extended from mains being installed adjacent to the proposed
development. On January 9, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held
with represematives of key service providers to this property. See detailed conditions
from these agencies at the end of this report. The ACHD is recommending, with site-
specific and standazds conditions, approval of the subject development. Please review the
ACHD report for this project for additional information regazding this fending.
F. That the proposed ase will not create excessive additional requirements at public
cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic
welfare of the community;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local street
infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The primary public
costs to serve the future resides will be fire, police, school facilities and services, and
the construction of a new municipal well within the proposed development. Staff finds
there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the annexation
and zoning will not be detrimemal to the community's economic welfaze.
G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment,
and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or
general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes,
glare or odors;

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS--CQNDiTIONAL USE PERMTI'
A. Reduced Standards:
Franklin Road Landscaping: As stated earlier, the Applicant is requesting to defer
construction of the landscape buffer on Franklin Road until site excavation is underway.
As part of the approval for the previous applications on this site, the landscaping on
Franklin Road was to be installed prior to the City issuing an occupancy permit for any of
the lots in Sparrowhawk Subdivision #1. NOTE: The City currently is holding a surety
for the required landscape improvements adjacent to Franklin Road.
In this instance, staff believes that deferral of the landscaping umil the site is excavated
will decrease the chance of damaging the landscaping when heavy machinery is
operating. However, staff does not believe that the improvements should be delayed urnil
site excavation is entirely finished. Excavation of the pad sites may take several years to
be fully complete. Rather, the Applicant should be allowed 18 months to complete site
grading/excavation before the required landscape improvements are installed adjacent to
Franklin Road. This gives the Applicant a reasonable amount of time to grade the site
without causing damage to the improvements. Further, it allows crews working on the
Franklin Road widening project, which is scheduled for construction this year, to re-
constructthe street without damaging landscaping. For the reasons stated above, staff
on Franklin Road for a maximum of 18 months from the City Engineer's signature of the
final plat. Further, staff recommends that the eatire landscane buffer on Franklin Road be
installed at the same time. This allows the trees and shrubs within the buffer to mature
simultaneously and will create a uniform look. See Site Specific Condition #2 below.
Northern Land-use Buffer: Meridian City Code 12-13-12-4 requires a 20-foot wide

landscape buffer between C-G zoned property and many of the uses in the I-L zone.
Meridian City Code 12-13-12-2 requires the land use buffer to be provided by the higher
intensity use and to be located on the building site of the higher intensity use. If a lower
intensity use is proposed adjacent to an existing higher intensity use with no buffer, the
lower inrtensity use must provide the required buffer (MCC 12-13-12-2). As allowed in
MCC 12-13-18, the Applicant is proposing an alternative to the standard landscape buffer
between the subject site and the industrial uses to the north.
On the submitted site plan, the Applicant is proposing a 15-foot wide landscape
buffer/setback between the proposed storage units/wmmercial area and the north
property line. Within the 15-foot setback the Applicant is proposing to construct trees and
an 8-foot tall slatted, chain link fence. Staff is supportive of the proposed alternative
landscape buffer width on the north side of the plat because with the on-site landscaping
and fencing, and the existing off-site landscaping the inteffi and purpose of the land-use
buffer will be achieved. Further, staff believes that storage units as a use provide a buffer
between the existing industrial uses to the north and the proposed office and commercial
uses to the south. For the reasons stated above, staff recommends that the Applicant be
landscape buffer. along the north prope~i y line. Landscape materials should be installed
per MCC 12-13-12-4. See Site Specific Condition #3 below.
D. Amenities: MCC 12-6 does not exempt non-residemial PD's from providing amenities. It
does state that "other amenities appropriate to the size and uses of the proposed
development, as may be proposed by the applicant and approved by the Commission and
Council," can be approved. The Applicant has submitted a PD because a condition of
approval for the Foothills Apartments was that all future development on this site
required a CUP. Staff has asked the Applicant to address the amenities requirement and
the Applicant has agreed to include two picnic areas with benches and additional
landscaping on site. The picnic areas are proposed just off the main entries on Lots 7 &
10.
Staff also believes that the layout of the site should be considered as an amenity. They
design of the building pads and drive aisles provide an aesthetically pleasing and efficient
use of the property. For this reason, staff finds that the proposed physical and visual
amenities meet the requirements outlined in the Planned Development section of
Meridian Code and recommends approval of the amenities as proposed. The Commission
and Council should review these proposed amenities and determine if they are
"appropriate to the size and uses of the proposed developmem" (MCC 12-6-2.3). See Site
Specific Condition #4 below.
D. Miscellaneous: Below are some of the design issues that staff would like the Applicant
to amend on the submitted conceptual site plan. These issues should be addressed by the
Applicant and reflected on the revised site plan and the future detailed CUP submittals
for each lot.

Refuse Container Location/Desis;n: Sanitary Service Company (SSC) has expressed that
some of the proposed dumpster locations and their design will need to be modified (see
wnunents below). Staff recommends that the Applicarn coordinate the location and
design of dumpsters with SSC staff. Trash enclosures must be built in the location and to
the size approved by SSC. Prior to submittal of a detailed Conditional Use Permit, the
Applicarn should submit a revised conceptual site plan, approved by SSC, for the
proposed trash enclosure location and design. All dumpster(s) must be screened in
accordance with MCC 11-12-1.C. See Site Specific Condition #5 below.
Circulation Design: The Applicant has shown 25-foot wide drive aisles, 5-foot wide
internal planters between parking stalls, and 19-foot long by 9-feet wide parking stalls.
Staff is supportive of the overall design of the parking and drive aisles. However, there
are two modifications to the proposed parking and circulation area that staff recommends.
The first recommendation is that the drive aisle and sidewalk into the office park area
from the eastern driveway align (centerline to centerline) with the existing drive aisle and
sidewalk into the apartment complex. This recommendation reduces the amount of
possible turning conflicts by allowing motorists and pedestrians to see oncoming traffic.
This recommendation is consistent with ACHD policy for new roadways and driveways
on classified roadways. See Site Specific Condition #6 below.
The second recommendation is that the Applicant depict handicap accessible stalls on the
site plan. These stalls are referenced in the legend on the site plan, but are not shown. See
Site Specific Conditions #7 below.
NOTE: The proposed parking exceeds the 182 required stalls (323 proposed). MCC 12-
13-11-3 requires parking lost with more than 201 parking stalls to provide 8% of the total
area of the irnerior of the parking lot with landscaping. The Applicant is exceeding the
minimum requirement for landscaping the parking areas. See Conditions #7 and #8 below
for parking lot requirements.
Sienaee: No signage is approved with this CUP. All signage shall be in accordance with
the standards set forth in MCC I1-14. All signs will require a separate sign permit in
compliance with the sign ordinance. Unless otherwise approved, no temporary signage,
flags, banners or flashing signs will be pernritted. See Site Specific Condition #10 below.
STTE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS (Conditional Use Permitl
1. All conditions of the previously approved Annexation/Zoning (AZ-00-024),
Development Agreement, Sparrowhawk Subdivision #1, Conceptual Conditional Use

be considered conditions of the Conceptual Conditional Use Permit/PD (CUP-03-066).
All future buildings with the subject developmern, whether constructed under the subject
ownership, or on individually owned lots, shall be designed under the established set of
architectural criteria approved with Sparrowhawk Subdivision #1 and CUP-02-001.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that storm water be pre-treated prior to discharge to the
subsurface to prevent impact to ground water and surface water quality. The
engineers and architects involved with the design of this project should obtain
current best management practices for storm water disposal and design a
storm water management system that is preventing groundwater and surface
water degradation. Manuals that could be used for guidance are:

Idaho Cities and Counties.
Prepared by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, July
1997.

Re: Public Comments Concerning Sparrowhawk Subdivision #2
Dear Mr. Berg:
~aN ~ ~ Cana
tatty of Meridian
Clty Clerk Office
I live at 120 N. No{a Road, Meridian, Idaho adjacent to Sparrowhawk Subdivision at ttie
northwest corner.
I donR have any complaints regarding the request of redesign of Sparrowhawk #2,
providing mY residence will still have the privacy that it has enjoyed..
However, my concern is that my public testimony and written comments be brought
forward from previous meetings regarding this parcel. I regret I will riot able to attend the
scheduled Planning and Zoning Meeting of February 5, 2004.
i believe City Counoil or Planning and Zoning agreed tha# the developer would be
required to have all irrigation plans approved through me. The continued operation of a
community ditch known as Barker Lateral Tap 4248 is very important. It is critical that
the ditch is operational no later than March 15, 2004. ft serves well over 100 residents
and needs to remain operational throughout the irrigation season. We are on a
continuous flow system.
I asked at a previous hearing that City Council require the owner of Sparrowhawk
Subdivision to enter into a License Agreement with the Water User Association of Barker
Lateral Tap 4248 prior to relocation and piping of this ditch. 1 would appreaate your help
in this matter.
Please don't hesitate to contact me ff further discussion is required.
Sincerely,

Dear W ill:

OFFICE: Nampa 466-7861
SHOP: Nampa 466-0663
The above-mentioned project should not impact Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District providing the
irrigation plans, for pressure irrigation, nor the drainage plans change during the approval
process. If either of these plans change the District will need to do a review on the proposed
drainage site as well as the modification of the pressure irrigation system.
A delivery ditch crosses through and serves this property. It is the Barker Lateral Tap, No. 4248.
The District has a tremendous amount of concern that this lateral be operational no later than the
15m of March. Although it is not the District's facility and we have no legal jurisdiction, I believe it
is one of the few ways to insure continued operation of the entire Barker Lateral which services
several hundred people upstream from this location. This facility must be able to pass
approximately two hundred fifty {250) minor inches of water at any given time. This is the only
method for the District to operate this lateral and have a continuous flow, as it is the last delivery
in the system. It must be allowed to pass through and continue on to the west until it returns back
into either the Evans Draih or Five-Mile Drain located to the west and north of this project.
There is a water user's association known as the Barker Lateral Water User Association Tap
4248. The Water Master and Secretary for this private delivery is John P. Anderson. You may
want to require the developer to contact Mr. Anderson to insure that thsir,needsare satisfied. Mr
Anderson can be contacted at 888-2557.
If you feel further discussion is required regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me.
