7. The elevations prepared by CTA in January 10, 2020, labeled A-01, are approved by the

The applicant requests a design standard exception to the following Goal contained in
the Architectural Standards Manual:
a) 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 rear façade of the
building incorporates horizontal roofline variations along 20% of the facade length, but
two edges are 110’ in length without parapet variation. The rear building façade
incorporates modulation (step-in and step-out) with each 12’ foot roll-up door (10
total).

b) Goal 5.1I “Untextured concrete panels and prefabricated steel panels are prohibited as
field materials for building façades, except when used with a minimum of two other
qualifying field materials and meeting all other standard fenestration and material
requirements.” The applicant is proposing a mix of modern and classic finishes that
includes primarily EIFS and concrete block. The building is also enhanced with a
thicker high quality fluted gauge architectural metal cladding and a wood-look cladding
to create a clean modern aesthetic that does not create waves as seen on the typical
“corrugated metal” that is a lesser gauge of material. The materials are also in
compliance with the Development Agreement, which requires additional features of
metal panels and faux wood. The fluted architectural metal cladding is used as an
accent material on the front and rear facades of the building, which the applicant
believes does not conflict with this ASM goal.
Staff finds the quality of the materials proposed along with the additional glazing,
canopies, and landscaping planters next to the building facade brings a unique
modern finish. That, combined with the fact that the Development Agreement
allows metal panels, justifies and exemption from the Architectural Standards
Manual.
8. The approved site plan, landscape plan and/or elevations may not be altered without
prior written approval of the City of Meridian Planning Division.
9. The applicant shall pay any applicable impact fees prior to the issuance of a building
permit.
10. If any changes must be made to the site plan to accommodate ACHD requirements, the
applicant shall submit a new site plan to the City of Meridian Planning Division for
approval prior to issuance of the building permit.

of Occupancy. It is unlawful to use or occupy any building or structure until the
Building Official has issued a Certificate of Occupancy.
12. The applicant shall be responsible for obtaining a license agreement and other
permissions (s) as required for constructing within any irrigation district easement.
13. Prior to Certificate of Occupancy, the applicant shall record a cross-access/ingress-
egress easement to adjoining properties (R5915720030, R5915720042, and
R6242270030) and submit copy of said easement to the Planning Division in accord
with the provisions of UDC 11-3A-3A2.
14. The applicant shall complete all drive aisles and parking lot improvements located
in the northern and central portions of the Victory Commons Subdivision prior to
