2. Hazards: Staff is unaware of any hazards that exist on this site.
3. Flood Plain: This site does not lie within the Meridian Floodplain Overlay District.
VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates this site as Medium Density
Residential (MDR). MDR designated areas allow smaller lots for residential purposes within City
limits. Uses may include single-family homes at gross densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre
(d.u./acre). While single-family residential uses are typical in the R-8 zoning district, this zoning does
allow for public or quasi-public uses with approval of a Conditional Use Permit. While this specific
application only applies to annexation of the subject property at this time, the applicant will be
required to obtain approval of a Conditional Use Permit and subsequent Cer tificate of Zoning
Compliance and Administrative Design Review prior to establishing the fire station use on the
property.
The applicant proposes to develop the 1.99 acre site with an approximately 12,000 square foot fire
station with associated site improvements.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to
the proposed use (staff analysis in italics):
“Continuously provide essential services and utilities to all residents .”
(3.01.01H)
Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 5, 2018 – Page 382 of 868
Exhibit A
Fire Station No. 6 – AZ H-2018-0016 PAGE 4
The proposed fire station will provide essential fire services to the south side of I-84. With the
growth of the city on the south side of the freeway, another fire station is necessary to keep up
with this growth.
“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 available and will be extended by the developer to the proposed lots upon
development of the site in accord with UDC 11-3A-21.
“Implement the City’s Pathways Master Plan.” (5.03.01A)
A segment of the City’s multi-use pathway system is designated on the Master Pathways Plan
on this site along the south side of W. Overland Road. This segment of the pathway must be
10 feet wide and will be required to be paved in accord with UDC 11-3A-8 and landscaped in
accord with UDC 11-3B-12.
“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 submitted concept plan depicts two (2) accesses to W. overland Road. Typically, staff
would require cross-access to adjacent parcels. Due to the potential issue this requirement
could have with the operational characteristics of a fire station, City staff is of the opinion
that cross-access may not be along the west boundary of this site. However, staff believes the
Rural Fire District should coordinate with the property owner of the adjacent eastern
property to share an access so the proposed eastern most access aligns with the access
constructed with Camping World on the north side of W. Overland Road.
“Coordinate with public works, police, and fire departments on proposed annexation and
development requests, and the impacts on services.” (3.04.01H)
Staff has coordinated with public works, police and fire and has incorporated their comments
and conditions in this report.
“Require all commercial and industrial businesses to install and maintain landscaping.”
(2.01003B)
A fire station is similar to a commercial business in that property landscaping will be
required on the site, including a 25 foot landscape buffer along W. Overland Road. Internal
parking lot landscaping will be required with future development of the property.
“Require neighborhood and community commercial areas to create a site design compatible
with surrounding uses (e.g., landscaping, fencing, etc.).” (3.05.02A)
Even though the fire station will be located on a parcel that is zoned R-8, it will operate much
like a commercial business and could even be more impactful on the surrounding residences
than a commercial business due to the 24 hour operational characteristics. The UDC does
not require a landscape buffer to any abutting residential uses because this property is zoned
R-8. However staff feels that there should be at least a 12 foot landscape buffer against the
recently approved Linder Road Apartments as depicted on the submitted concept plan.
For the above stated reasons, staff finds the proposed project is generally consistent with the goals
and objectives in the Comprehensive Plan.
Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 5, 2018 – Page 383 of 868
Exhibit A
Fire Station No. 6 – AZ H-2018-0016 PAGE 5
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC)
A. Purpose Statement of Zone: Per UDC 11-2A-1, the purpose of the residential districts is to
provide for a range of housing opportunities consistent with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan.
Residential districts are distinguished by the dimensional standards of the corresponding zone and
housing types that can be accommodated. Residential land uses are also allowed within the O-T,
TN-C, and TN-R Districts as set forth in article D of this chapter.
B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 11-2A-2 lists the principal permitted
(P), accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the R-8 zoning district. Any use not
explicitly listed, or listed as a prohibited use is prohibited. Public or quasi-public uses such as fire
stations are a conditional use in the R-8 zoning district.
C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site should be consistent with the dimensional
standards listed in UDC Tables 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district.
D. Landscaping: Street buffer landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the standards listed
in UDC Table 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district.
E. Off-Street Parking: Off-street parking is required in accord with UDC Table 11-3C-6B for
commercial uses.
F. Structure and Site Design Standards: The proposed multi-family development must comply with
the design standards in accord with UDC 11-3A-19 and the Architectural Standards Manual.
IX. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
1. Annexation & Zoning
The applicant has applied for annexation and zoning of 1.99 acres of land with an R-8 zoning
district. As discussed above in Section VII, the proposed zoning is consistent with the policies in
the Comprehensive Plan and the FLUM designation of Medium Density Residential.
The applicant proposes to develop a new City of Meridian Fire Station on the property which
includes an apparatus bay, housing areas for staff and offices. (see the concept plan included in
Exhibit A.2).
The legal description submitted with the application, included in Exhibit C, shows the boundaries
of the property proposed to be annexed and zoned. The property is contiguous to land that has
been annexed into the City and is within the Area of City Impact boundary.
Once the property is annexed, the applicant intends to apply for a conditional use permit,
certificate of zoning compliance and administrative design review for the property to establish the
fire station use on the property.
Site Plan: The applicant has provided a concept plan indicating the access point, circulation,
parking and building footprint of the property. With the Conditional Use Permit application, the
applicant will need to submit a site and landscape plan that meets the applicable UDC sections as
outlined below.
Specific Use Standards: UDC 11-4-3-30 applies to the property in the following ways:
A. Public recreation and community centers: The use shall meet the standards in accord with
section 11-4-3-2, "Arts, Entertainment Or Recreation Facility, Indoors And Outdoors", of this
chapter.
This condition is not applicable to this development.
Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 5, 2018 – Page 384 of 868
Exhibit A
Fire Station No. 6 – AZ H-2018-0016 PAGE 6
B. Public or quasi-public office: The use shall meet the standards for office use in accord with the
district in which the use is located. (Ord. 05-1170, 8-30-2005, eff. 9-15-2005)
This condition is not applicable to this development.
Landscaping: A 25 foot landscape buffer is required along W. Overland Road in accord with
UDC 11-3B-7. Internal parking lot landscaping shall be in accordance with UDC 11-3B-8.
Although not required, the applicant shall install a 12 foot landscape buffer along the southern
boundary of the site against the recently approved Linder Road Apartments.
Access/Connectivity: The applicant shows to vehicular access points to Overland Road. Staff is
of the opinion that the applicant should relocate the eastern vehicular access to both line up with
the drive access from Camper World, and to share an access with the parcel to the east. Once the
property to the east develops, further, that parcel will likely be required to eliminate their existing
access and share.
Additionally, the City Council will need to grant permission to have direct access to W. Overland
Road.
Dimensional Standards: The R-8 zoning requested by the applicant requires a minimum lot size
of 4,000 square specific lot sizes. The applicant is advised to review section 11-2A-6 of the UDC
and to ensure that any proposed development conforms to this section. Future development of this
site should comply with the dimensional standards set forth in UDC 11-2A-6.
Parking: The conceptual site plan indicates that there will be a total of 18 parking stalls on the
property. UDC 11-3C-6 requires one space for every 500 square feet of gross floor area. The
applicant shall comply with this section of code or receive alternative compliance approval to
reduce the number of parking spaces.
The applicant is also required to provide one (1) bicycle parking stall for every 25 proposed
parking stalls. The submitted site plan does not show these items. The applicant will also need to
meet any requirements for ADA stalls as dictated by the International Building Code. Bike
parking on the site must comply with the standards set forth in UDC 11-3C-5C and 11-3C-6G.
Building Elevations: Architectural elevations were not submitted for this application. Staff will
review the architecture with the Conditional Use Permit. The applicant however, is required to
comply with the design review standards set forth in UDC 11-3A-19 and the guidelines contained
in the Architectural Standards Manual.
In summary, Staff recommends approval of the proposed annexation and zoning request for this
site per the agency comments listed in Exhibit B of this report in accord with the findings
contained in Exhibit D.
