DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The applicant, Gayle J. Jensen, requests Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC) and Design
Review (DES) approval of a 75,000 square foot industrial building located on 5.18 acres in the
I-L district.
The site is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of N. Truckee Ave. and E. Lanark
St. on Lots 2, 3, and 4, Block 3 of the Seyam East Subdivision.
The applicant requests a design standard exception to the following Goal contained in the
Architectural Standards Manual (ASM):
Goal 2.1A Buildings with rooflines 50-feet in length or greater must incorporate roofline and parapet
variations. Variations may include step-downs, step-backs, other modulation, or
architectural features such as cornices, ledges, or columns, and must occur in total
combination for at least 20% of the façade length. May be averaged over entire façade, but
may not exceed 75-feet without a break.
The applicant is requesting an exemption from the above noted standard for roofline variations
due to the proposed design matching with the surrounding buildings. All of the built structures
in the immediate vicinity to this building have straight rooflines with little variation.
As an alternative means to meet the intent of the standard, the applicant has designed the facade
of the building to incorporate accent banding along the top of walls. In addition, they have
added wing walls and awnings at the storefront entrances to provide variation and break up the
façade. This design is the same as the building directly to the west, approved by Meridian
Planning staff in 2016 (CZC/DES, A-2016-0375).
Staff finds that due to the location of the lot and the surrounding built environment the
exemption to the Architectural Standards Manual is justified. The design incorporates features
to lessen the impacts of the exemption and will only be visible from other industrial zoned
properties. The design meets the overall stated ASM intent that Goal 2.1A falls under (Intent
2.00) to “establish compatible physical and visual relationships with adjacent and surrounding
developments and reinforce a cohesive built environment”. This design does not pose any
detrimental effects to public health, safety, and welfare.
NOTES: A. The approved landscape buffer is ten feet (10’) along E. Lanark St. as approved with the
plat of the Seyam East Subdivision (H-2016-0123) rather than the twenty feet (20’) as required
by Table 11-2C-3.
