Item 2: Adoption of the Agenda
Yearsley: Thank you. First thing on the agenda is the adoption of the agenda. Do we
want to bring this up now or --
Parson: Yeah. Mr. Chairman, one last minute change to the agenda before you -- for you
this evening to take under consideration prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission
hearing this evening staff did find a discrepancy in the property noticing that we sent out
for the Logan Creek project that was going to be heard tonight and so because of that
discrepancy this project cannot be heard and must be continued to the February 18th
Planning and Zoning Commission hearing. So, we ask that you modify your agenda
accordingly and continue that project out, again, to the February 18th, 2016, hearing.
Yearsley: Thank you. And I think for all those who are in attendance, Logan Creek
cannot be heard today because of a noticing error. I don't know if you were here for that
one. And so it will be continued to February 18th. And, then, also that Action Item A for
Augusta Estates Subdivision has requested to be continued to March 3rd of 2016 as well.
So, with those changes can I get an adoption to approve the agenda as amended -- or as
presented.
Wilson: Mr. Chair?

e. Physical Features:
1. Canals/Ditches Irrigation: The Kennedy Lateral parallels W. Overland Road and is currently

2. Hazards: Staff is not aware of any hazards that exist on this property.
3. Flood Plain: This property is not within a floodplain.
VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
This property is designated “Commercial” on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The
purpose of this designation is 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 residential, as
well as appropriate public uses such as government offices. Within this land use category, specific
zones may be created to focus commercial activities unique to their locations. These zones may
include neighborhood commercial uses focusing on specialized service for residential areas adjacent
to that zone.
Although a church is not listed in the Comprehensive Plan as a preferred use in commercial
designated areas, it is listed a conditional use in the I-L zoning district. In this case, the
Comprehensive Plan is the guiding document however; the zoning governs the allowed uses. Because
the proposed use will be primarily used at a time when the remainder of the building will be
unoccupied, staff believes the Church activities should not interfere with the adjacent uses. Further,
the building is currently vacant and being underutilized and the Comprehensive Plan encourages the
adaptive reuse of existing developed sites. For these reasons, Staff finds that the request generally
conforms to the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this application and apply to
the proposed use of this property (staff analysis in italics ):
• 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)
The site is already connected to City services. The change of use will not impact the services
being provided to this site.
• Encourage Infill Development. (3.04.02B)
The subject site is already developed with an existing 105,909 square foot industrial building
that is currently partially vacant. Rather than developing a new church site, the applicant is
proposing to redevelop an existing site.
Review of this development proposal (building and site) will occur with a future certificate of
zoning compliance and administrative design application.
• “Require all commercial and industrial businesses to install and maintain landscaping.”
(2.01.03B)
The existing parking lot and perimeter landscaping appear to meet the standards listed in
UDC 11-3B-8C.
EXHIBIT A
H-2015-0039 - Calvary Chapel Meridian Page 4
• “Locate industrial and commercial uses where adequate water supply and water pressure are
available for fire protection.” (3.04.02A)
There is adequate water supply and pressure available to the site for fire protection.
• “Minimize noise, odor, air pollution, and visual pollution in industrial and commercial
development adjacent to residential areas.” (3.06.01B)
The proposed church should produce minimal noise, odor, air pollution and visual pollution.
• “Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the Area of City Impact.”
(3.05.01J)
The proposed church will contribute to the variety of services available in the portion this
portion of the city.
For the above-stated reasons, staff believes the proposed use is consistent with the applicable
comprehensive plan policies and is appropriate in this location.
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
a. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the I-L district is to provide for convenient
employment centers of light manufacturing, research and development, warehousing, and
distributing. In accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, the I-L district is intended to
encourage the development of industrial uses that are clean, quiet and free of hazardous or
objectionable elements and that are operated, entirely, or almost entirely, within enclosed
structures. Accessibility to transportation systems is a requirement of this district.
b. Schedule of Uses in Industrial Districts: UDC Table 11-2C-2 lists the permitted, accessory, and
conditional uses in the I-L zoning district. Churches are a conditional use in the I-L zone with the
specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-6 (see Section 9, Analysis, for specific use
standards).
c. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site shall comply with the dimensional standards
listed in UDC 11-2C-3 for the I-L zoning district.
d. Landscaping
1. Width of street buffer(s): There is an existing approximately 60 feet landscape buffer along
Overland Road.; and 30 feet along S. Tech Lane. These landscape buffers exceed the
minimum required by the UDC.
2. UDC 11-3B-8C regulates the parking lot standards of the development code (see section 9
below for further analysis).
3. UDC 11-3B-2 regulates the amount of additional landscaping required with the future
expansion of the site.
e. Off-Street Parking: UDC 11-3C-6B requires 1 space for every 2000 square feet of gross floor
area; a total of approximately 106,000 square foot of building area exists. Based on this amount,
53 parking stalls are required; 214 stall exist on site, and this exceeds the requirements of the
UDC.
IX. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: Staff is generally supportive of the
proposed CUP request as presented in the staff report, with the following comments:
CUP: The applicant is requesting approval to operate a church from an existing warehouse
building. The property is currently zoned I-L (Light Industrial). Per UDC 11-2C-2, a “Church or
EXHIBIT A
H-2015-0039 - Calvary Chapel Meridian Page 5
Place for Religious Worship” requires conditional use permit approval in the I-L zone and is
subject to specific use standards.
Specific Use Standards for Church or Place of Religious Worship per UDC 11-4-3-6:
Schools, child daycare services, meeting facilities for clubs and organizations, and other similar
uses not operated primarily for the purpose of religious instruction, worship, government of the
church, or the fellowship of its congregation may be permitted to the extent the activity is
otherwise permitted in the district. At this time, the applicant is not proposing any other ancillary
uses other than those associated with religious worship .
Development Plans: The scope of work includes conversion of open warehouse and office space
into a church sanctuary, classrooms, and support spaces. The proposed church use will be
occupying 27,408 square feet of the total approximately 106,000 square foot building. The
applicant is proposing several minor exterior building modifications. These modifications do not
require any site modifications under the UDC.
The CUP is necessary to establish the use.
Access: Access to the site is taken from S. Tech Lane, designated a local street, and from W.
Overland Road, designated as an arterial. Access to this site is consistent with the requirements
set forth in UDC 11-3A-3. No other access points are proposed or approved with this application.
Parking: Per UDC 11-3C-6B all industrial districts require one space for every 2,000 square feet
of gross floor area. The site is currently developed with a 105,909 square foot warehouse
building. Based on the existing and planned square footage the site must provide a minimum of
94 parking stalls. The submitted site provides a total of 219 parking stalls.
In addition, per UDC 11-3C-5, the applicant is responsible for providing bike parking on the site.
Business Operation: The Church services for the proposed use as stated in the application will
occur on Sunday. Typically, other church related activities will occur during the week including
but not limited to office duties during normal business hours and church gatherings/meetings will
occur on Wednesdays evenings. Staff believes the use should not conflict with the industrial
activities occurring in the area and is not recommending a restriction on the hours of operation for
the church site.
Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review: The purpose of a Certificate of Zoning
Compliance (CZC) approval is to ensure that all construction, alterations and/or the establishment
of a new use complies with all of the provisions of the UDC before any work on the structure is
started and/or the use is established (UDC 11-5B-1A). To ensure that all of the conditions of
approval listed in Exhibit B are complied with, the Applicant will be required to obtain CZC
approval from the Planning Department prior to establishment of the new use. All improvements
must be installed prior to occupancy.
The applicant is proposing to install door awnings over the existing entryway doors as well as
widening of the sidewalk that leads out to the parking lot from the emergency exit doors.
