• Additional Comments This project site can be serviced by the Meridian Fire
Department,but the fire department has concerns about
parking.The information given by the applicant in regards
to parking assumes no one else is doing business in the
downtown area and no one else is using any of the parking
available,The occupant load of the yard is 257.Enforcing
a max limit of 150 people for the City or Fire Department
is not feasible.The parking plan should reflect the
maximum occupant load of the space available during
normal Monday through Friday business hours and during
weekend hours for the businesses open.It should also
reflect the fact of the residences in the area and the space
they are taking up.

V. STAFF ANALYSIS
A. Future Land Use Map Designation(hgps://www.meridiancity.org/compplan)
Old Town Designation—This designation includes the historic downtown and the true
community center. The boundary of the Old Town district predominantly follows
Meridian's historic plat boundaries. In several areas, both sides of a street were
incorporated into the boundary to encourage similar uses and complimentary design of
the facing houses and buildings. Sample uses include offices, retail and lodging, theatres,
restaurants, and service retail for surrounding residents and visitors. A variety of
Page 3
Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda April 16,2020- Page 61 of 265
residential uses are also envisioned and could include reuse of existing buildings, new
construction of multi-family residential over ground floor retail or office uses.
B. Comprehensive Plan Policies(https://www.meridiancity.orglcompplan):
• "Support a compatible mix of land uses Downtown that activate the area during
day and night." (2.09.02G).Adding an event space into the Downtown area
brings an opportunity for additional foot traffic and commerce to occur within a
desired location during day and night, adding to the appeal and character of
Downtown Meridian. This additional commercial use should be a welcome
addition to the other uses in the surrounding area. Per the conditions of approval
in this staff report, any outdoor event is required to end no later than eleven
o'clockp.m. This condition will allow the character of the residential aspect of
this neighborhood to remain. In addition, the applicant has stated in their
narrative a desire to hold smaller events but with the opportunity to host a few
larger ones.
• "Support owners of historic buildings in their efforts to restore and/or preserve
their properties. (5.02.0113).Allowing an event center to take place in a historic
downtown home will help spread the knowledge and history of both Meridian and
this historic home. The economic impact of additional foot traffic should also help
other historic locations within Downtown to flourish.
C. Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
The main structure on this site is an existing home that was converted to commercial use
in line with Old Town standards. The existing structure is commonly known as the
historic Tolleth House and recognized on the Nation Register of Historic Places. The
desire to maintain the historical significance of this structure is strong and therefore there
are no proposed changes to the exterior of the structure. In addition, the property has a 6-
foot tall wooden fence that lines its north property line and a 4-foot tall open vision fence
on its south property line. The west property line and fencing abuts the owner's home,
located at 120 E. Stave Ave.
D. Proposed Use Analysis:
An outdoor event center falls under"Arts, entertainment or recreation facility, outdoors"
in UDC Table 11-2D-2. It is subject to specific use standards and is also listed as a
conditional use in the O-T zoning district. See narrative included in the application for
more specific details on the proposed use.
E. Specific Use Standards(UDC 11-4-3):
Arts, Entertainment or Recreation Facility, Outdoors is subject to specific use standards
as outlined in UDC 11-4-3-2:
A. General Standards:
1. All outdoor recreation areas and structures that are not fully enclosed shall maintain a
minimum setback of one hundred feet(100) from any abutting residential districts. The
playing areas of golf courses, including golf tees, fairways, and greens, are an exception
to this standard. (Ord. 07-1325, 7-10-2007). The properties abutting the subject site are
all zoned Old Town (O-T). Old Town zoning district is a traditional neighborhood
Page 4
Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda April 16,2020— Page 62 of 265
(mixed-use) district, allowing both residential and commercial uses with an intent to be
truly mixed use in its development and density. Therefore, Staff finds that this 100 foot
setback requirement does not apply as Old Town is not solely a residential district.
However, Staff understands the concern of noise emitting across property lines. There
are adjacent residential uses to this property but the closest residence will be to the west
and is the home of the owner of this business. If any outdoor event were to take place in
the existing yard as intended, there is not a feasible method to maintain a 100 foot
setback to the owner's home at 120 E. State Ave. To the east and south of the subject site,
existing local streets with parallel parking and street trees provide separation and act as
a buffer; the property to the north is a commercial law office separated by an alleyway
and existing closed vision fencing. Staff is recommending additional conditions to help
mitigate any potential sound or light pollution. Therefore, when complying with the
conditions in this report, Staff finds that the site elements meet the intent of this
requirement.
2. No outdoor event or activity center shall be located within fifty feet(50) of any
property line and shall operate only between the hours of six o'clock(6:00) A.M. and
eleven o'clock(11:00) P.M.Applicant shall comply with these standards; Staff is
recommending a condition of approval to ensure compliance (see Section VIII.1).
3. Accessory uses including,but not limited to, retail, equipment rental, restaurant, and
drinking establishments may be allowed if designed to serve patrons of the use only.Any
accessory use held on this site shall be for the attendees of the event only and not open to
the general public.
4. Outdoor speaker systems shall comply with section 11-3A-13, "Outdoor Speaker
Systems", of this title.Applicant shall comply with this and all relevant code sections
upon approval.
B. Additional Standards For Swimming Pools: Any outdoor swimming pool shall be
completely enclosed within a six foot (6)nonscalable fence that meets the requirements
of the building code in accord with title 10, chapter 1, of this code.No swimming pool is
proposed as part of this project.
C. Additional Standards For Outdoor Stage Or Musical Venue: Any use with a capacity
of one hundred(100) seats or more or within one thousand feet (1,000') of a residence or
a residential district shall be subject to approval of a conditional use permit. (Ord. 05-
1170, 8-30-2005, eff. 9-15-2005). Not all events will have outdoor music but in the event
that one does, the applicant is applying for this conditional use permit. Staff is proposing
conditions of approval to mitigate any negative impacts outdoor music may have on the
neighborhood.
F. Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2):
The existing home meets all dimensional standards. See specific use standard analysis
above for further discussion.
G. Access(UDC 11-3A-3, 11-3H-4):
Access is provided via public on-street parking stalls on E. State Avenue and NE. 2"d
Street, and an alleyway to the north.
Page 5 —
Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda April 16,2020— Page 63 of 265
H. Parking(UDC 11-3C):
The existing home has a driveway off of the alleyway that has been turned into an
outdoor patio space and is closed off from the alleyway by a 6-foot tall wooden fence;
there is currently no off-street parking on this site. The proposed site occupancy is 257
occupants, per Fire and Building code.
Old-Town is classified as a Traditional Neighborhood zoning district and no off-street
parking is required for a lawfully existing structure unless an addition occurs (UDC 11-
3C-6B). No additions are proposed with this project or related building permits.
However, the applicant understands parking is a concern and has provided a parking
plan to Staff.
The Applicant has provided a parking plan with all available public parking within 1,000
feet, and has used Old-Town alternative parking methods from UDC 11-3C-7 as a guide
to address parking concerns. According to the Applicant's plan there are approximately
327 available parking spots that include both on and off-street parking(Exhibit VII.Q.
The Applicant has also obtained a parking agreement with a private business for after
hour parking that accounts for 19 off-street parking spots and is also seen on the parking
plan (All American Insurance). See Exhibit VII.D for the signed parking agreement. This
parking area is on the west side of Main Street, an arterial road, and concerns Staff
whether it would be used because of its location. Staff would like the applicant to explain
how they will educate and inform patrons of where to park during the P&Z Commission
meeting.
Staff is also concerned with the parking intensity associated with such a high occupant
capacity. Because of this, Staff is recommending a condition of approval to limit the
occupancy to 100 people knowing that enforcing such a condition will be very difficult
(see Section VIII.2). If the applicant or owner can obtain more parking agreements per
the conditions in this report, the maximum occupancy can increase to 150. The
Applicant's parking plan assumes that all off-site parking is available most of the time.
For example, it does not appear to account for the fact the Masonic Temple parking lot is
only public parking from 6 am to 6 pm and those 34 off-street parking spaces will not be
available for evening events held at the subject site. Further, this parking lot is located
across an arterial street, Pine Avenue, making it very impractical for event goer use.
During evening events, additional nearby parking agreements would help alleviate any
unavailable on-street parking being utilized by residents in the neighborhood after
normal work hours.
I. Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17):
There is existing five-foot(5) detached sidewalks along E. State Ave. and NE 2nd St. with
existing street trees that connects with the entrance to the Tolleth House. No additional
sidewalks are proposed; all sidewalks meet UDC Standards.
J. Landscaping(UDC 11-3B):
There is no additional landscaping proposed and the Applicant has stated that all existing
landscaping will be protected in place. In order to help alleviate any undue noise and
light disturbances to the nearby residential uses, staff is recommending a condition of
approval to add additional landscaping along the southern fence line (see Section HIT 4)
Page 6
Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda April 16,2020— Page 64 of 265
K. Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
All existing fencing will remain in place and no additional fencing is required. The
existing fencing meets UDC standards. Staff finds that additional landscaping is a better
alternative to additional closed vision fencing to help mitigate any noise and light
pollution.
VI. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed conditional use permit with the conditions in
Section VIII per the Findings in Section IX.

Re: Tolleth House Tenant Improvement
134 E.State Avenue.
Meridian, ID,83642
Design Narrative: February 12fh,2020
F.A.Nourses Second Addition Subdivision is located in the Old Town zoning district of
Downtown Meridian.The subdivision is full of different types of businesses and various architectural
elements.The tenant improvements will be located at the historic Tolleth House, built in 1907 the home
Is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places.The Tollefh House holds a lot of historical
significance,the overarching goal of each tenant improvement is to keep the historical building
elements intact.
The Tolleth Houses prior use served as a local antique shop and held community events.The
new proposed use for the historic home will be the new location of the local, Do Dye Hair Salon and
new Hidden Gem Events businesses.The two tenants are both owned by local business owner
Elizabeth Burgess. Elizabeth will also own and reside in the adjacent home 120 E.State Avenue,
January of 2020, the property is located directly behind the Tolleth House.
The tenant improvement packets for the historic home will be separated into two tenant
spaces a small salon space accompanied by a small event center.The Salon permit package was
submitted January 13th 20202 to the City of meridian for review.The Event Center tenant
improvement package will be submitted for review of a later date after undergoing the process of
obtaining a conditional use permit.
Hidden Gem Events will be 1,658 SF of the existing space.All events will be held on the ground
level,the second level will be used for office space only. Hidden Gem Events can accommodate
various types of events,experiences can be hosted both indoors and outdoors. Hidden Gem Events
will only allow for 150 occupants during hosted events.Outdoor events will take place in the
backyard of the property during the warmer months of the year.To accomplish this we must obtain a
conditional use permit.The Event center has acknowledged the standards in chapter four and will
abide by all rules and regulations.
After holding the neighborhood meeting on Wednesday February 5fh,we learned that the
surrounding neighbors are an board for the future use of the Historic Tolleth House.Surround
neighbors have agreed to share their parking lots with Elizabeth during the time of events.The
community has been supportive of the growth and flourishment that Elizabeth has planned for the
community. It is our belief that the proposed use of the space enhances the charm, appeal and
marketability of the whole corner.

IX. FINDINGS
A. Conditional Use Permit
The Commission shall base its determination on the conditional use permit request upon the
following:
1. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and meet all the
dimensional and development regulations in the district in which the use is located.
The site meets all the dimensional and development regulations in the O-T zoning district
for the proposed use. Therefore, Commission finds the site is large enough to
accommodate the proposed use.
2. That the proposed use will be harmonious with the Meridian comprehensive plan and in
accord with the requirements of this title.
Commission finds the proposed event center will be harmonious with the Comprehensive
Plan in that it will provide an additional use in the Downtown Meridian area and add to
intensity of uses desired in Old Town.
3. That the design, construction, operation and maintenance will be compatible with other
uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the
general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential character of the
same area.
Commission finds the operation of the proposed event center, with the conditions
imposed, should be compatible with the other commercial and residential uses in the area
and will not adversely change the essential character of the Downtown area but instead
will add to the character.
4. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not
adversely affect other property in the vicinity.
If the proposed event center complies with the conditions of approval in Section VII as
required, Commission finds the proposed use should not adversely affect other properties
in the vicinity.
5. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, schools, parks, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, and sewer.
The site is part of the City's Downtown area and these services are already being
provided to the building. Therefore, Commission finds the proposed use will be served
adequately by all public facilities and services.
6. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional costs for public facilities and
services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.

7. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment and
conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons,property or the general
welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
Although traffic may increase in this area due to the proposed use, especially when
larger events are hosted, the proposed use should not be detrimental to the general
welfare because the site, in compliance with the conditions of approval, and conditions of
the Downtown area are sufficient to hold such uses. Therefore, Commission finds the
proposed event center should not be detrimental to any persons,property, or the general
welfare.
8. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural,
scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance. (Ord. 05-1170, 8-30-
