STAFF ANALYSIS A. Annexation: The proposed annexation area is contiguous to City annexedproperty and is within the Area of City Impact Boundary. To ensure the site develops as proposed by the applicant, staff is recommending a development agreement as part of the annexation approval. B. Future Land Use Map Designation(ht(gs:llwww.meridianciu.orglcompplan) This property is designated as Commercial on the City's Future Land Use Map (FL UM) contained in the Comprehensive Plan. This designation is to provide afull range of commercial uses to serve area residents and visitors. Desired uses may include retail, restaurants,personal andprofessional services, and office uses, as well as appropriate public and quasi-public uses. The annexation area is near existingpublic services and is adjacent to the city limits. Although the majority of the properties in this area east of S. Locust Grove Road and north ofI-84 are rural residential, the land directly surrounding the subject property is recommendedfor commercial uses. Also, approximately 350feet to the east of the property, the FL UM recommends mixed use neighborhood.Most of the land on the west side of S. Locust Grove Rd. and south ofI- 84 is zoned commercial; directly across S. Locust Grove Rd. there are several large non- residential developments such as the Renaissance High School and the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine. The professional officeflex space (for professional services)proposed under this annexation complies with the recommendations of the FL UM and wouldprovide an appropriate transition in intensityfrom a commercial corridor to the existing residential at the north and east. The City may require a development agreement(DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-651 IA. 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 HIL.A. The DA is required to be signed by the property owner(s)ldeveloper and returned to the City within 6 months of the Council granting the annexationfor approval by City Council and subsequent recordation. Comprehensive Plan Policies (https:llwww.meridiancity.ocglcompplan): The following Comprehensive Plan Policies are applicable to this development: Focus on developing industries that tend to exceed the living wage, such as technology, healthcare and other similar industries. (2.06.01E) Page 4 This annexation proposes a 4,300 squarefoot buildingfor a land surveying company. This is considered a professional service, which may be a primary employer with higher wages. Work with existing industrial businesses to expand or relocate operations to appropriate areas. (2.08.03C) The business proposed with this annexation is presently located at 213 E. 5th Ave. in Meridian in a shared 3,800 squarefoot building. The existing business leases approximately 1,300 squarefeet of available space. The applicant has stated the size and configuration of the present building does not lend itself to the existing operations and there is no room for expansion. The applicant intends to construct and own a larger building designedfor the operations which would also allow moreflexibility in workspaces. A ccording to the conceptual site plan submitted by the Applicant, the new office building would be constructed on the southern half of the property, to allow the possibility to eventually construct a second commercial building on the northern portion. The Comprehensive Plan supports this type of business in the proposed location. • Encourage infill development. (3.03.01E) The Comprehensive Plan defines infill as "development on vacantparcels, or redevelopment of existingparcels to a higher and better use that is surrounded by developed property within the City ofMeridian." The subjectproperty is surrounded by existing development on all sides, is directly adjacent to a commercial corridor, contains a vacant singlefamily residence and is already connected to city water and sewer. • Focus development and redevelopment intensity on key transportation corridors. (3.07.02C) The proposed officeflex building is proposed adjacent to S. Locust Grove Rd., a key transportation corridor. • Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land. (3.07.00) The surrounding neighborhood consists ofprimarily low density singlefamily residential. The FLUMrecommends the subjectproperty and to the southfor commercial uses, medium density residential to the north and mixed use neighborhood to the east. To the west of the property(across S. Locust Grove Rd.) are higher intensity non-residential uses such as the Renaissance High School and the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine. South of the property(south ofl-84) are intensive commercial uses such as drive through restaurants and movie theaters. The proposed officeflex building in this location willprovide an appropriate transitionfrom the residential and mixed use residential uses to the east to the commercial uses to the west and south. "Permit new development only where it can be adequately served by critical public facilities and urban services at the time of final approval, and in accord with any adopted levels of service for public facilities and services."(3.03.03F) City water and sewer service is available along S. Locust Grove Rd. and can be extended by the developer with development in accord with UDC 11-3,4-21. Page 5 C. Existing Structures/Site Improvements: There is an existing 2,123 singlefamily residence on the property, constructed in 1972.As the property is proposed to be zoned to C-C, which does not allow singlefamily residential, the existing house should be required to be removed as part of the annexation agreement. Proposed Use Analysis: Office buildings are listed as a principal permitted use (professional services) in the C-C zoning districts in UDC Table 11-2B-1. The applicant's intent is to construct a new 4,800 squarefoot building on the southern portion of the property. However, the applicant has indicated a second commercial building may be built to the north. The property consists of a I acre parcel and a small.2 acre 'strip of land"so it is possible the applicant could do a boundary line adjustment to create an additional buildable lot. At staffs request, the applicant has provided the conceptual layoutfor both buildings. The site plan provided reflects commercial buildings at the north and south perimeters of the property, with parking central to the development. Staff believes the layout as proposed is an efficient design for the property. As the applicant intends this project to build out in two phases, staff has concerns that the undeveloped hatf of the property will remain a "no-man's land"while the other ha�f builds out. Staff recommends that the undevelopedportion of the property be seeded with native seed and maintainedfree of weeds until such a time asJuture development occurs. D. Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2): The zoning is proposed to be C-C. This requires no street setback but does require a 25' landscape buffer along arterial roads (S. Locust Grove Road) and 10'buffer along S. Truss Pl.A 25'residential landscape buffer is also required at the south of the property, adjacent to the neighboring existing singlefamily residence. Building height is limited to 50'. E. Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3): There are specific requirements regardingflex space. This includes roll-up doors not being visiblefrom a public street and loading docks being prohibited. The conceptual elevations show the roll up doors on the north side of the building(awayfrom S. Locust Grove Road),parking oriented toward the center of the buildings, and no loading docks. If a second building is constructed as proposed, this will also help minimize the view of the garage doorsfrom public street view. F. Access(LI-3A-3): Access to this property will occurfrom two points off of S. Truss Pl. S. Truss Pl. connects to E. Bentley Dr. and out to S. Locust Grove Rd(an arterial). The applicant has stated A CHD will require them to add curb, gutter and sidewalk along S. Truss Pl. to the south extent of their property. There is an existing stub offE. Bentley Dr. north of the subject property, which terminates in a dead end east of S. Locust Grove Rd. The applicant does notpropose accessfrom this street and A CHD is not requiring improvements to this road. G. Parking(UDCL1-3C): Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC Table 11-3C-6for commercial districts based on one space per 500feet ofgrossfloor area. Witha Page 6 proposed building size of 4,835 squarefeet, 10 parking spaces would be required. The conceptual site plan indicates l7parking spacesfor thefirst building, and the same amount of parking spacesfor a conceptual second building. The parking requirements are satisfied, but staff notes thefinal number willprobably be less because UDC 11-3B-8 requires an internalplanter island of at least 50 squarefeetfor every row of more than 12 parking spaces. H. Sidewalks(UDC LI-3A-1 7): Sidewalks already exist along S. Locust Grove Rd. The Applicant is required to add curb, gutter and sidewalk along S. Truss Pl. to the south extent of their property line. 1. Parkways(UDC LI-3A-1 7): No Parkways are proposed with this development. J. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B): The applicant will be required to install a 25'wide buffer along S. Locust Grove RD. as is requiredfor arterial streets, a 10'landscape buffer along S. Truss Pl. and E. Bentley Dr. as is requiredfor local streets, and a 25'wide landscape at the south of the property as is requiredfor anyparcel sharing a contiguous lot line with a residential land useper UDC 11-2B. Parking lot landscaping, including 5'buffers adjacent to parking, loading and other vehicular use areas, including the possibility ofplanter islands, will also be requiredper UDC 11-3B. As mentioned, the applicant's plans reflect the desire to construct thefirst commercial building as phase one, and eventually construct a second building on the other ha�f of the property.As mentioned above, staff is recommending the undeveloped portion of the property be seeded with native seed and maintainedfree of weeds until such a time asJuture development occurs. K. Tree preservation(I 1-3B-10) There are several existing trees on site.At time of CZC submittal, the applicant will be required to work with the City Arborist if removal is proposed.A mitigation plan may be required which would be required to indicate the total number and caliper inches of trees proposedfor removal and the total number of replacement trees proposed. L. Waterways (UDC LI-3A-6): There are no significant waterways on the property. M. Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7): The concept plans do not indicate anyfencing.Allfencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-6C and 11-3A-7. N. Utilities(UDC LI-3A-21): Public services are available to accommodate the proposed development. The sub ect property is j already connected to City water and sewer which was installed with recent expansions to S. Locust Grove Road. 0. Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manua�: The Applicant has submitted sample elevations of theproposed officeflex buildingfor thisproject (see Section VII). Page 7 The conceptual elevations show a one-story office building comprised of metal andfiber cement siding, with a sloping roof.As is required by UDC 11-4-3-18forflex space, the roll-up doors are faced to the north, awayfrom public streets.At time of CZC and DES submittal, complete architectural elevations with materials called out will be required and the architecture will be reviewed against the Architectural Standards Manual(ASM). It does appear that the conceptual elevations might not meet the standards of the ASM in regard to buildings with rooflines 50-feet in length incorporating roofline andparapet variations. Also, the Applicant should be aware that untextured concretepanels and prefabricated steelpanels areprohibited asfield materialsfor buildingfaqades, except when used with a minimum of two other qualifyingfield materials and meeting all other standardJenestration and material requirements. The applicant site and building design is required to comply with the design standards in the UDC and the ASM. VI. DECISION A. Staff- Staff recommends approval of the requested annexation and zoning with the requirement of a Development Agreement with the conditions noted in Section VIII per the Findings in Section Ix. B. The Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission heard this item on August 6,2020. At the public hearing,the Commission voted to recommend approval of the subject annexation request. I.

Staff responded that the previous site plan did not show a second building. As staff was writing the staff report,the qpplicant had mentioned they intended to reconfigure a second lot and construct a second commercial building. Staff and the gpplicant worked together to arrive at a revised site plan that demonstrated this. b. The Commission asked whether the elevations submitted with the staff report would also change. The gpplicant responded that they probably would. Staff added the elevations submitted probably would not meet the requirements of the Architectural Standards Manual (ASM)but staff would work with the gpplicant on this during the Certificate of Zoning Compliance(CZC). c. Commission discussed hours of operation and whether there would be exterior lighting that would iLnpact the adjacent residences.Applicant responded the hours would be normal Page 8 office hours between 8AM and 5PM, and aLiy exterior lighting would be downcast and shielded as required by the regulations. 4.
