zoned L -O and R-15.
B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning:
North: Residential subdivision, zoned R-15
South: Vacant commercial property, zoned C -C
East: Multi -family development, zoned R-15
West: Vacant and developed residential properties, zoned R-15 and R-8
C. History of Previous Actions:
• In 2000, the property received annexation, preliminary plat and conditional use permit
approval (AZ -00-006, PP -00-005 and CUP -00-014) for Valeri Heights Subdivision. Due to a
number of factors, the Valeri Heights project was never constructed. A development
agreement was required with the annexation of the property (instrument #100103906).
• In 2004, the City Council approved anew preliminary plat (PP -04-035), conditional use
permit (CUP -04-040) and development agreement modification (MI -04-011) for Sommersby
Subdivision. As part of the Sommersby DA modification, the Valeri Heights DA was
terminated and replaced with a new DA which recorded as instrument #105184653.
• In 2005 and 2006, the City approved two phases of the Sommersby Subdivision (FP -05-071
and FP -06-024) which has developed with a mix of single family detached homes,
townhomes and multi -family.
• In 2008, the property received final plat approval of the third phase (FP -08-020) and an
amendment to the recorded DA recorded as instrument # 108101151. The applicant failed to
obtain signature on the plat therefore the plat has expired.
D. Utilities:
1. Location of sewer: Sanitary sewer mains intended to provide service to the subject site was
installed as part of the Sommersby Subdivision.
2. Location of water: Water mains intended to provide service to the subject site was installed
as part of the Sommersby Subdivision.
3. Issues or concerns: None
E. Physical Features:
1. Canals/Ditches Irrigation: No major facilities exist on this property.
2. Hazards: NA

3. Flood Plain: This property is not within the flood plain.
VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
This property is designated "Mixed Use Community" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Map. The requested rezone to the C -C zoning district is consistent with the MU -C land use
designation. The purpose of this land use designation is to allocate areas where community -serving
uses and dwellings are integrated into the urban fabric. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses,
including residential, and to avoid mainly single -use and strip commercial type buildings. The vacant
property was always intended for a mixed use development and was planned with the multi -family
development to east. This is the last remaining vacant property approved under the planned
development to develop with the commercial uses to serve the area. Because the site is developing in
the context of a mixed-use development, staff finds the proposed uses (bank and retail) are consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to
the proposed use (staff analysis in italics):
1. "Require all commercial development and industrial businesses to install and maintain
landscaping." (2.07.03B)
A 25 foot wide landscape buffer is required adjacent to W Pine Avenue and N. Ten Mile Road- a
10 foot landscape buffer is required adjacent to the private streets in accord with UDC 11 -3B -
7C.
2. "Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of
final approval and development is contiguous to the City." (3.01.01F)
City services are readily available to serve the proposed commercial development.
3. "Encourage infill development in vacant/undeveloped areas within the City over fringe area
development to halt the outward progression of urban development." (5.01.02B)
The proposed development is an infill project consistent with this objective.
4. "Review new development for appropriate opportunities to connect local roads and collectors to
adjacent properties." (3.03.020)
The applicant is proposing right-in/right-out only access from Pine Avenue and a northern access
to W Acarrea consistent with the UDC.
5. "Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the Area of City Impact."
(3.05.01J)
This area of Meridian lacks many commercial services including the financial institution and
retail uses. When the Sommersby project was approved, it was envisioned that office uses would
accompany the residential uses. Now that the Ten Mile Interchange is completed, N. Ten Mile
Road is transitioning into a major mobility corridor facilitating the need to provide neighborhood
friendly commercial uses in the area. Given the scale and bulk of the proposed commercial
development, staff is of the opinion that the proposed services will complement the existing
residential uses in the area and provide various commercial opportunities that are currently
lacking in the area.
6. "Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent
parcels." (3.06.01F)
The property has always been contemplated for commercial uses and the original concept plan
integrated the office uses with the multi family uses. The applicant is proposing more intense
Mnsley — RZ, PFP, CUP and MDA PAGE 4
EXHIBIT A
commercial uses however the commercial buildings are oriented away from the multi family
buildings and separated by parking and landscaping. Staff believes there is adequate
transitioning between the proposed commercial development and the existing multi family
development.
7. "Reduce the number of existing access points onto arterial streets by using methods such as cross
access agreements, access management and frontage/backage roads." (3.03.02N)
The applicant is seeking approval for a right-in/right-out access to Pine Avenue. Staff is
supportive of the Pine Avenue access. The UDC restricts access to arterial streets when local
street access is provided. A northern access to W Acarrea is proposed consistent with the UDC.
Based on the above analysis, staff is supportive of the proposed development as it is generally
consistent with the comprehensive plan.
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC)
A. Purpose Statement of Zone(s):
BUSINESS COMMUNITY DISTRICT (C -C) - The purpose of the Commercial Districts is to
provide for the retail and service needs of the community in accord with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan. Six Districts are designated which differ in the size and scale of commercial
structures accommodated in the district, the scale and mix of allowed commercial uses, and the
location of the district in proximity to streets and highways.
B. Schedule of Use: Table 11-2B-2 lists the principal permitted (P), accessory (A), conditional (C),
and prohibited (-) uses in the C -C zoning district. Any use not explicitly listed, or listed as a
prohibited use is prohibited.
C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site shall comply with the dimensional standards
listed in UDC 11-2B-3 for the C -C zoning district.
D. Landscaping:
• Street buffer landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the standards listed in UDC
Table 11-213-3 and UDC 11 -3B -7C for the C -C zoning district.
• Parking lot landscaping: All parking lot landscaping shall comply with the standards listed in
UDC 11 -3B -8C.
E. Off -Street Parking: Off-street parking is required in accord with UDC 11 -3C -6B for the proposed
commercial lots.
IX. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
REZONE (RZ) AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT MODIFICATION (MDA): The applicant is
proposing to rezone the property from the L -O and R-15 zoning districts to the C -C zoning
district to develop the site with a bank and two (2) retail pad sites consistent with the proposed
FLUM designation of MU -C.
The proposed concept plan depicts three (3) building footprints ranging in size between 4,200
square feet and 6,000 square feet, the proposed accesses, the parking and associated landscape
improvements. A concurrent conditional use permit was also submitted to establish a drive-
through for the proposed bank site (Lot 1, Block 1). The other drive-through depicted on Lot 2,
Block 1 is not approved and will require the approval of a conditional use permit to establish the
use. In general, staff is supportive of the proposed concept plan.
Mnsley — RZ, PFP, CUP and MDA PAGE 5
EXHIBIT A
Under the existing zoning (L -O and R-15), the proposed retail and drive-through uses and
extended hours are not allowed. The recorded development agreement also restricts the property
from developing with any drive-through uses. Although the applicant has submitted a viable
concept plan, the only development proposed for the site is the bank and associated drive-
through. The other two pad sites are speculative at this time. Because the proposed commercial
development abuts a residential district, specific development plans are not proposed for Lots 2
and 3, Block 1 and transitional zoning is not proposed, staff is recommending restricting specific
uses from developing on the property.
In order to develop the property as proposed, the applicant has submitted a concurrent
development agreement modification to exclude the property from the recorded development
agreements and enter into a new one. Staffs recommended DA provisions are provided in
Exhibit B.
PRELIMINARY/FINAL PLAT (PFP): The proposed plat consists of three (3) commercial lots on
approximately 2.61 acres of land in a proposed C -C zoning district. The three (3) commercial lots
range in size between 29,136 square feet and 51,818 square feet respectively. The UDC does not
have a minimum lot size standard for the commercial development and the required landscape
buffers meet the dimensional standards of the UDC as noted below.
Access: UDC 11-3A-3 requires the commercial development to take access from the internal
private streets as contemplated with the Sommersby project. The applicant is seeking a Council
waiver for a right-in/right-out access point to W. Pine Avenue and no access is proposed to N.
Ten Mile Road. Staff supports the right-in/right-out access to W. Pine Avenue because it is
currently restricted with a center median. Over the last several months, the applicant has been
coordinating with the Sommersby HOA for a northern access to W.Acarrea Lane. The revised
plan in Exhibit A.6 depicts the northern access and the removal of the Ten Mile access. Currently,
the landscape and the preliminary plat still show a Ten Mile Road access, however conditions are
provided in Exhibit B prohibiting access to Ten Mile Road.
Prior to signature on the final plat, the applicant must provide a recorded reciprocal cross
access agreement between the multi -family development and the proposed commercial
development for the right to connect/access W. Acarrea Lane.
Since the proposed commercial development has limited access to the adjacent arterial streets, a
note on the submitted plat states all commercial lots within the development have a reciprocal
pedestrian and vehicular cross access easement.
Landscaping: A landscape plan was submitted with this application as shown in Exhibit A.5.
The landscape plan depicts the required 25 -foot wide landscape buffer adjacent to W. Pine
Avenue and N. Ten Mile Road. The street buffer landscaping complies with the standards in
accord with UDC 11 -3B -7C however; the plan should be revised that includes a continuous 25 -
foot wide landscape buffer along the entire Ten Mile frontage.
The 25 -foot wide landscape buffer between the commercial and residential uses is not required
along the north and east boundary because the existing uses are separated from the proposed
commercial development by private streets. Therefore, the landscape buffers on the submitted
plan comply with the dimensional standards of the UDC.
Pressure Irrigation: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be
supplied by a year-round source of water. The applicant should be required to utilize any existing
surface or well water for the primary source. If a surface or well source is not available, a single -
point connection to the culinary water system shall be required. If a single -point connection is
utilized, the developer will be responsible for the payment of assessments for the common areas
prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer. An underground, pressurized irrigation
Mnsley — RZ, PFP, CUP and MDA PAGE 6
EXHIBIT A
system should be installed to all landscape areas per the approved specifications and in
accordance with UDC 11-3A-15 and MCC 9-1-28.
Sidewalk: Currently, 7 -foot wide attached sidewalks are constructed on W. Pine Avenue and N.
Ten Mile Road installed with the widening of Ten Mile Road and the reconstruction of the
intersection. Staff is not recommending the removal of the new sidewalks with the proposed
commercial development.
CUP: With the development of Lot 1, Block 1 the applicant is proposing to construct a 4,750
square foot bank with associated drive-through. The UDC requires a conditional use permit if
drive-through establishments are within 300 feet of a residential district subject to specific use
standards listed below. Although the submitted site plan depicts two (2) drive-through uses
staff is only analyzing the bank drive-through as part of the subject application. Any other
future drive-through use must obtain approval of another conditional use permit. The
drive-through use shown on Lot 2, Block 1 is not approved with the subject application.
Drive-through Establishment: Per UDC 11-4-3-11, the following specific use standards apply
to the proposed drive-through uses as follows:
A. All establishments providing drive-through service shall identify the stacking lane,
speaker location, and window location on the plans submitted with the Certificate of
Zoning Compliance (CZC) application. The speaker locations and window locations
are not shown on the submitted site plan. These items must be included on the revised
plans submitted with the CZC application.
Further, financial institutions usually provide self-service facilities (ATM) for their
patrons. The submitted site plan does not depict the location of one. If an ATM is
proposed, the site plan needs to be revised to indicate the location of the ATM
machine which must comply with the self-service standards outlined in UDC 11-3A-
16.
B. Stacking lanes shall have sufficient capacity to prevent obstruction of the public
right-of-way by patrons. The design of the drive-through for the bank (southern pad
site) provides three (3) drive-through lanes and an exit lane to allow for the stacking
of vehicle and provide adequate site circulation.
C. The stacking lane shall be a separate lane from the circulation lanes needed for access
and parking. The drive-through stacking lanes are separate from the circulation
lanes needed for access and parking in accord with this requirement.
D. The stacking lane shall not be located within ten feet (10') of any residential district
or existing residence. NA ("The proposed stacking lanes are not within 10 feet of a
residential district or residence)
E. Any stacking lane greater than one hundred feet (100') in length shall provide for an
escape lane. The applicant has provided the required escape lane.
Site Plan: Staff has reviewed the submitted site plan and requires the necessary revisions prior to
the submission of the certificate of zoning compliance (CZC) application for each of the pad sites.
1) Provide a bike rack detail.
2) Pedestrian walkways must be provided from the perimeter sidewalks to the main building
entrances and distinguish the walkways from the vehicular driving surface through the
use of pavers, colored or scored concrete, or bricks, per UDC 11 -3A -19A.4.
3) Relocate the existing mail kiosk on the west side of the northern access to a more internal
location within the Sommersby development. Prior to signature on the final plat the
Mnsley — RZ, PFP, CUP and MDA PAGE 7
EXHIBIT A
applicant should coordinate with the Post Master and the HOA on an appropriate location
for the mail kiosk.
4) Construct a passive traffic calming design element (such as bulb -outs or chokers) on the
west side of the banks drive-through area to deter vehicles from entering the bank drive-
through from the wrong direction.
5) Sign and stripe the banks drive-through area one-way.
Parking: Based on the overall square footage (s.f.) of the three (3) buildings, approximately
14,950 s.f., a minimum of 30 vehicle parking spaces are required to be provided on the site. A
total of 87 parking stalls are proposed, consistent with UDC requirements.
Based on the number of vehicle parking stalls provided (87), a bicycle rack capable of holding a
minimum of three (3) bicycles is required to be provided per UDC 11 -3C -6G in accord with the
standards listed in UDC 11 -3C -5C. With future CZC submittal, each building on the site will
responsible for provided a bike rack for each of the proposed pad sites in accord with this
requirement.
Landscaping: Parking lot landscaping is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-
3B -8C. The landscaping shown on the plan substantially complies with these standards. With the
submittal of the CZC application, all parking lot landscaping must comply with the landscape
standards set forth in UDC 11 -3B -8C.
Lighting: Outdoor lighting is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-11. If
any fixtures are proposed that have a maximum output of 1,800 lumens or more, a photometric
report is required to be submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application.
Hours of Operation: The UDC (11 -2B -3A.4) restricts hours of operation on the site when
abutting a residential district to the hours between 6 am and 11 pm in a C -C zoning district.
However, extended hours of operation may be extended through the conditional use process. As
part of the application submittal the applicant is seeking approval for extended hours of operation.
In the submitted narrative the applicant is proposing the future businesses be limited to the hours
of operation between 5 am and 12 am; 7 days a week. Since the commercial development to the
south was approved with similar hours of operation, staff is supportive of the proposed hours of
operation.
Building Elevations: The applicant has submitted sample elevations of the bank and a rendering
of a retail building. Staff is of the opinion that both renderings are consistent with the design
standards set forth in UDC 11-3A-19.
Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC) and Design Review (DES): A CZC and DES
application is required to be submitted prior to issuance of building permits for the commercial
development. The applicant must comply with the design standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19 and
the guidelines contained in the Meridian Design Manual.
Summary: In summary, staff finds the proposed project complies with the applicable policies of
the Comprehensive plan and is conditioned to comply with the applicable development standards
in the UDC. Based on the aforementioned analysis, staff recommends approval of the subject
application.
