STAFF ANALYSIS The applicant requests a Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment (CPAM) to change the land use designation on 2.46 acres of land from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Commercial; and, Annexation & Zoning of 2.46 acres of land from RUT to the C-C zoning district. The proposed annexation area is contiguous to City annexed property to the south and east, and is within the Area of City Impact Boundary. A legal description for the annexation area is included in Section VII.A. The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. In order to ensure the site develops as proposed with this application, staff recommends a DA as a provision of annexation with the provisions included in Section VIII. A. Future Land Use Map Designation (CPAM) (https://www.meridiancity.org/compplan) Current Land Use Designation: Low Density Residential (LDR) – LDR designated areas allow for the development of single-family homes on large lots where urban services are provided. Uses may include single-family homes at gross densities of three (3) dwelling units or less per acre. The site is currently zoned RUT in Ada County and operates as the Wagner Farms produce market. Proposed Land Use Designation: Commercial - The intent of the commercial 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. These zones may include neighborhood commercial uses focusing on specialized service for residential areas adjacent to that zone. The applicant is proposing a comprehensive plan map amendment to change the land use designation from LDR to Commercial to allow for an expansion of the existing produce market use and the construction of a convenience store and fuel sales facility. Wagner Farms has been in operation since 1982 and has been a well-utilized and valued market throughout its existence. The surrounding area has grown considerably since its establishment and the market has become even more of a neighborhood amenity to many of the residents in the area. Recognizing the growth in the area, the Wagners had planned to sell the property and were inundated with requests from customers and residents in the area to keep their business open. The Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 11, 2019 – Page 138 of 396Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 23, 2019 – Page 250 of 519 EXHIBIT A Page 5 Wagners decided to stay at their current location and wish to expand in a manner that will not only be consistent with the history of the area but will complement the current character of the area. Further, an expansion of the site will support Comprehensive Plan Goal 3.05.02, “Maintain integrity of neighborhoods to preserve values and ambiance of areas”. Wagner Farms has been a staple in the area and will continue to be such with the proposed expansion. The proposed facility will continue to serve surrounding residential neighborhoods and will provide a variety of fresh and local food items as well as the opportunity to fuel vehicles when needed. There is resounding support from the surrounding community for the subject application, over 450 residents in the area signed a petition in support of the proposed expansion. Staff is of the opinion that the requested annexation with the C-C zoning district and proposed development is consistent with the proposed Commercial FLUM designation for this site and is appropriate for this site. The proposed development supports various Comprehensive Plan goals, will maintain historic character to preserve a part of Meridian’s roots, and is widely supported by the surrounding community. B. Comprehensive Plan Policies (https://www.meridiancity.org/compplan): Plan for and encourage services like health care, daycare, grocery stores and recreational areas to be built within walking and biking distance of residential dwellings.” (2.01.01C) Provision of services within walking and biking distance of several neighborhoods north of W. Chinden Blvd. will allow residents to access food and necessary items without requiring use of a vehicle. Added pedestrian micropathways, as recommended by staff, will increase the walkability of surrounding communities with the proposed development. 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) Services to this area are available and can be reasonably provided since the MFD and MPD are already servicing the area. Require pedestrian access connectors in all new development to link subdivisions together to promote neighborhood connectivity as part of a community pathway system.” (3.03.03B) The proposed development includes pedestrian connectivity along W. Chinden Blvd. in accord with the Pathways Master Plan, however, an opportunity to connect surrounding residences and the golf course to the east is possible. Additional micropathways to the east and west would increase pedestrian connection and would aid in creating a neighborhood amenity, making it even more consistent with City Code. Require neighborhood and community commercial areas to create a site design compatible with surrounding uses (e.g., landscaping, fences, etc.) (3.05.02A) The applicant has made a concerted effort to maintain the “farm feel” of the original Wagner Farms property through the design of the building, landscaping and planned operations. Additionally, in an effort to maintain compatibility with surrounding uses, the applicant is working with the resident to the north of the subject site to install fencing to mitigate any impact accompanying the planned expansion. Provide housing options close to employment and shopping centers.” (3.07.02D) This site is intended to be utilized as a neighborhood market and convenience store for surrounding neighborhoods and the adjacent golf course. Since the site is adjacent to W. Chinden Blvd. and the entrance will align with the Ten Mile Rd. intersection improvements, it will provide a convenient option for commuters to stop in and purchase items on their way to Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda June 11, 2019 – Page 139 of 396Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 23, 2019 – Page 251 of 519 EXHIBIT A Page 6 and from work. The expansion of Wagner Farms may also provide additional employment and shopping opportunities to surrounding residents and could alleviate the necessity to drive a vehicle to find such services. C. Existing Structures/Site Improvements: The site has been utilized as a produce market with associated out-buildings since 1982; there are also two (2) existing residences on the site. The applicant is proposing to remove the existing homes and produce barn to accommodate the proposed convenience store and produce market. D. Proposed Use Analysis: The proposed produce market and convenience store are classified as a “retail store” and the fuel center a “Fuel Sales Facility” in accord with UDC 11-1A-1. If the CPAM request is approved, all aforementioned uses are listed as principal permitted uses in the C-C district per UDC Table 11- 2B-2. Hours of operation within the C-C zoning district are 6 AM-11 PM; the applicant is proposing to operate the market, convenience store and fuel facility within those hours of operation, fuel pumps will not be operable outside of business hours. E. Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3): The proposed use is subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-20, Fuel Sales Facility. A. General standards: 1. When allowed as an accessory use, gasoline or diesel fuel sales facilities shall not occupy more than twenty five percent (25%) of the subject property. The proposed fuel sales facility will not encompass more than 25% of the overall site. The applicant has also integrated fuel pump canopies into the design of the building and relocated pumps to the east of the site to mitigate any related noise or visual nuisance to surrounding neighbors. 2. The total height of any overhead canopy or weather protection device shall not exceed twenty feet (20'). The applicant’s design is in compliance with this requirement; height and dimensions shall be further specified with the CZC and DES application. 3. Vehicle stacking lanes shall be available on the property but outside the fueling areas. Stacking lanes shall have sufficient capacity to prevent obstruction of the public right- of-way by patrons. Such stacking lanes shall be separate from areas required for access and parking. The stacking lanes shall not be located within ten feet (10') of any abutting residential districts. Vehicle stacking lanes have been provided approximately 120-feet from the access point to W. Chinden Blvd. A 29-foot drive aisle has been provided to the east of fuel pumps to allow traffic to bypass fuel pumps if occupied. Staff recommends the applicant consider installing wayfinding and directional signage to increase effective circulation and to alleviate potential stacking and obstruction of the main entrance. 4. If the use is unattended, the standards in accord with section 11-3A-16 of this title shall also apply. The use will not be operational outside of normal business hours (6 AM-11 PM), so will not be unattended. F.

The concept plan depicts a buffer with landscaping between the subject site and the residential use to the north of the site. The applicant is working with the property owner to the north to determine height and location of fencing to further buffer the commercial use. The buffers should facilitate pedestrian access from the residential to the commercial development in accord with UDC 11-3B-9C.3. Parking lot landscaping will be required internally within the site in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-8C with development.
