Table 11-2B-2 Nursing or Residential Care Facility Add nursing or residential care facility as a conditional use permit in the C-G zone. Use C-G Nursing or residential care facility C 11-2D-3C.1 Standards applicable in all traditional neighborhood districts Strike the reference to the City of Meridian Design Manual. This section will be expanded upon with a future application. 1. Street Layout: The street system shall be primarily based on a grid with connections to the existing street system. Street systems shall be consistent with section B-1.2.3, street networks, of the “City of Meridian Design Manual”. 4 11-2D-4B Standards in the Old Town District Currently, staff is working on restructuring the City of Meridian Design Manual. The proposed change to the code section references the proposed name of the renamed document. B. Number of Stories: Minimum number of stories for new construction is two (2) and/or as set forth in the “City of Meridian Architectural Standards Design Manual”. 11-2D-4D Standards in the Old Town District Need to reference the new public works standards. D. Streetscape Improvements: Streetscape improvements within the area bounded by Carlton Avenue, East Third Street, Ada Stree t, and Meridian Road shall be designed in accord with the city of Meridian downtown streetscape design guidelines Public Works Design Standards Manual. (Ord. 10- 1463, 11-3-2010, eff. 11-8-2010) 11-3A-6 Irrigation easement s and common lots Restrictive irrigation easemen ts on buildable lots can create “no man’s land” areas that become an eyesore. C. Easements: In residential districts, irrigation easements wider than ten feet (10’) shall be included in a common lot that is a minimum of twenty feet (20’) wide and outside of a fenced area, unless modified by City Council at a public hearing with notice to surrounding property owners. DC. Impeding Movement Of Water Prohibited: For any irrigation or drainage ditch not within the jurisdiction of an irrigation or drainage district, piping shall not impede the movement of the amount of water crossing the property prior to development or the amount of water delivered to downstream properties. ED. Natural Drainage Courses: All natural drainage courses shall be left undisturbed or be improved in a manner that will improve the hydraulics and ease of maintenance of the channel. Relocation of natural swales is acceptable if the hydraulics and ease of maintenance are provided for. The term "natural drainage course" shall not be deemed to apply to minor swales and depressions that are located entirely on the applicant's property and which serve a relatively small area where runoff is infrequent. (Ord. 05 -1170, 8-30-2005, eff. 9-15-2005) 11-3A-7A.7 Common area fencing Currently, the UDC restricts fencing along interior common area and micro -paths to 4' closed/6' open. Applicants have argued that this only should apply if the common area is not clearly visible from a public street. Further, applicants have also requested to have a taller fence to keep animals/children in while still allowing privacy. 7. Regulations for fences along abutting pathways and common open space areas lots are set forth below. These regulations are intended to assist in the implementation of CPTED (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design) strategies to reduce the incidence of crime and improve the quality of life. See figure 1 of this section. a. The developer is responsible for constructing fences adjacent abutting micropathways connections and common open space areas lots to distinguish common from private areas. b. Fences adjacent abutting all pathways, and common open space lots not entirely visible from a public street shall be: 1) An open vision or semi-private fence up to six feet (6') in height, as it provides visibility from adjacent homes or buildings; 2) A closed vision fence up to six feet (6’) in height may be allowed if the lot depth does not exceed one (1) lot, connects directly to a public school or a park and is visible from a public street; or 3) If closed vision fencing is used, it shall not exceed four feet (4') in height. This does not allow four feet (4') of closed vision fence with two feet (2') of open vision fencing. An additional two feet (2’) in height of open vision fencing may be provided to the top section of the fence. c. Other fences located within the rear or side yard of properties abutting pathways and common open space lots not entirely visible from a public street shall be set back a minimum of eight feet (8') from the property line. Within the rear yard other fences shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the property width. d. These restrictions are intended to apply to fencing along interior common open space areas lots and pathways that are not entirely visible from a public street. They are not intended to apply to street buffers or entryway landscaping strips. These restrictions are not intended to require fencing on interior common open space. 11-3A-7C.8 Alley Fencing 8. Rear yard of alley accessed properties and alley side yard properties: All fences within the required rear yard shall comply with the fencing standards in accord with UDC 11-3A-7A.7. Fences shall be set back a minimum of five feet (5’) from the alley (measured from p roperty line). 5 Figure 1 Fence Regulations Adding graphics of fencing types along pathways and common open space lots 6 11-3A-19A and B Structure and site design standards Design review standards do not contain enough specificity or "express regulations". This lack of clear requirements can create some difficulty when trying to apply the design standards. There is a separate committee working concurrently on new standards. A. Minimum Standards: The following minimum standards shall apply in addition to the detailed guidelines as set forth in the "City Of Meridian Architectural Standards Design Manual": 1. Architectural Character: Buildings shall be designed in accord with the “City of Meridian Architectural Standards Manual. a. Facades: Building facades visible from a public street or public space shall incorporate modulations in the facade, includ ing, but not limited to, projections, recesses, and step backs that articulate wall planes and break up building mass.

Primary Entrance(s): The primary building entrance(s) shall be clearly defined by the architectural design of the building . c. Rooflines: Roof design shall provide variations in profile through modulation and/or articulation in accord with the "City Of Meridian Design Manual ", including, but not limited to, the following: 1) overhanging eaves; 2) sloped roofs; 3) two (2) or more roof planes; 4) varyi ng parapet heights; and 5) cornices. d. Pattern Variations: Architectural building design shall not create blank wall segments along public streets and/or adjacen t public spaces. Architectural elements, including, but not limited to, windows, awnings and arcades, shall have color, texture and/or materials to mitigate blank walls. e. Mechanical Equipment: All ground level mechanical equipment shall be screened to the height of the unit as viewed from the property line. All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be screened as viewed from the farthest edge of the adjoining right of way. 2. Materials: a.

Alternative Compliance: If: 1) the location of existing buildings or structures prevents conformance with the standards of this section and/or the guidelines of the "City Of Meridian Design Manual", or 2) strict adherence to such standards and/or guidelines would create inconsistency in the design objectives of the proposed development, the director may consider an alternative design proposal through the alternative comp liance provisions as set forth in section 11-5B-5 of this title. The director may approve, or recommend approval of, such an alternative compliance proposal when the overall design, as proposed by the applicant, meets or exceeds the intent and the requirements of this section and the "City Of Meridian Design Manual" and is not detrimental to public health, safety, and welfare. 11-3B-7C.5a Landscaping within right of way Modify standards to require developers to landscape the dedicated ROW regardless of the timing for the roadway expansion. a. If the unimproved street right of way is ten feet (10’) or greater from the edge of pavement to edge of sidewalk or property line, and street widening project is not in the transportation authority’s five (5) year funded plan, the developer shall maintain a ten foot (10’) compacted shoulder meeting the construction standards of the transportation authority and landscape the remainder with lawn of other vegetative ground cover . 11-3B-8B.2 Parking lot reconstruction The use of the word repaving is not consistent with the definitions section of the code. 2. For parking lot reconstruction, exclusive of sealing, striping, or overlaying repaving, all current landscape standards of this section shall be met, unless approved as set forth in section 11-1B-4 of this title. 7 TABLE 11-3C-6 Parking pad for alley loaded units Allow structures to be 5-feet from the alley and clarifying the parking pad will still need to be required along the side of the garage or if an equivalent off-street parking is provided in accord with UDC Table 11-3C-5. Note 2. The parking pad shall be measured from edge of sidewalk or edge of paved travel lane (public street, private street, or al ley) where no sidewalk exists. For alley accessed properties the parking pad is not required in front of the garage if the garage is located at the five (5) foot setback to the rear property line; the required parking pad must be provided along the side of the garage unless equivalent off -street parking, as determined by the director, is provided in accord with UDC Table 11-3C-5. 11-3C-6B.1 and 2 Required number of off street parking spaces Add a standard that requires the parking for the facility to be based on the square footage of the office and not the square footage of all the structures. 1. In all commercial and residential districts the requireme nt shall be one space for every five hundred (500) square feet of gross floor area, except for self-service storage facilities which shall only require parking based on the gross floor area of any office space. 2. In all industrial districts the requirement shall be one space for every two thousand (2,000) square feet of gross floor area , except for self-service storage facilities which shall only require parking based on the gross floor area of the office space. 11-3D-5A.5 Setbacks and Sign location of freestanding signs The code currently required Subdivision identification signs to meet the same setback as Business Identification Signs, 12.5’ from rear and interior side property lines. This setback can limit construction on most common lots. Change setback to 5 feet in the residential districts. 5. All subdivision identification signs shall meet the setback standards in subsection 11 -3D-8A3 of this article. No part of a subdivision identification sign, including the footing, shall be located closerthan one foot (1’) from any street property line and five feet (5’) from any rear or interior side property line, unless greater separation is required. 11-3G-3A.1 Common Open Space and Site Amenity Requirements For large developments the additional 5% open space can be a large quantity of land. Should the amenity allowance for additional open space be proportional to the size of the development? 1. The total land area of all common open space that meets the standards as set forth in subsection B of this section shall equal or exceed ten percent (10%) of the gross land area of the development.
