V. STAFF ANALYSIS
The land proposed to be rezoned from the I-L (Light Industrial) to the C-G (General Retail and
Service Commercial) zoning district is designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Map (FLUM) as Commercial; the proposed zoning is consistent with the FLUM designation. A
legal description for the rezone area is included in Section VII.A, which includes additional land
to the centerline of N. Olson Ave. and section line N. Eagle Rd./SH-55 respectively.
The City may require a Development Agreement (DA) in conjunction with a rezone pursuant to
Idaho Code section 67-6511A. In order to ensure future development in the C-G district is
appropriate for this site develops, staff recommends a DA as a provision of the rezone with
the provisions included in Section VIII.
Note: The adjacent C-G zoned properties to the south (Parcel #S1108449800 & S1108449316)
are also under the same ownership as the subject property.
A. Future Land Use Map Designation (https://www.meridiancity.org/compplan)
The Commercial designation provides for 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. The proposed extended
stay hotel will provide temporary housing options for new residents and short term visitors;
offices may also be developed on the site.
B. Comprehensive Plan Policies (https://www.meridiancity.org/compplan):
Require all new and reconstructed parking lots to provide landscaping in internal islands and
along streets.” (2.01.04B)
Parking lot landscaping in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-8C will be

Require landscape street buffers for new development along all entryway corridors.”
2.01.02E)

use decisions along SH-55.” (3.03.02Q)

adjacent to Eagle Rd./SH-55 as set forth in UDC 11-3H-4C.3.

Implement the City’s Pathways Master Plan.” (5.03.01A)
The Pathways Master Plan depicts a segment of the City’s multi-use pathway along the east
boundary of this site adjacent to N. Eagle Rd.
C. Proposed Use Analysis:
The proposed hotel use is listed as a P/C (Principal/Conditional) use in UDC Table 11-2B-2 in the
C-G zoning district subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-23; certain
accessory uses are allowed as noted. A conditional use permit is required for any hotel use that
adjoins a residential district or an existing residence. There are no adjoining residential districts or
uses on adjacent properties. Note: There is an existing residential structure on the adjacent

however, the property owner has informed Staff that the renter recently moved out and the
property will no longer be used as a residence.
In addition to a hotel, office (i.e. professional service) uses are also contemplated by the
Applicant to develop on this site. Professional services as well as retail and restaurant uses are
listed as principal permitted uses in the C-G district. Staff is amenable to any of these uses
developing on this site; however, if any other uses are proposed, Staff recommends a new
conceptual development plan is submitted and a modification to the DA is required.
D. Site Plan:
A conceptual site plan was submitted with the rezone application that depicts how the site to be
rezoned may possibly develop with two (2) 4-story hotel buildings and associated parking; office
uses are also contemplated which aren’t depicted on the plan. Because this layout is highly
conceptual at this point and is anticipated to change in the future, Staff does not
recommend it’s included in the Development Agreement. Detailed review of the site plan will
take place with the CZC and DES applications; compliance with UDC and Fire Department
standards is required.
E. Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
There are no existing structures or improvements on this site.

right-of-way should be dedicated to ITD if necessary for the widening. Cross-access easements
should be granted to adjacent commercial properties as set forth in UDC 11-3A-3A.2.
H. Parking (11-3C-6)
A total of 222 off-street parking spaces are depicted on the concept plan for the proposed use; a
minimum of one space for every 500 square feet of gross floor area is required to be provided.

proposed use and to ensure all site improvements comply with the provisions of the UDC and the
