Project Narrative
Mountain America Federal Credit Union (MACU) is a financial institution with headquarters
based in Draper, UT and looking to serve its members by expanding further in the Meridian
area.
The branch building design is planned to be a 4,370 sf building footprint which includes offices
and spaces for conducting financial transactions. The drive-up canopy is planned to be 1,025 sf
footprint. The footprint has been designed to service member's banking needs within the
location area and designed to accommodate up to 15 employees to service those needs.
Also included will be a drive thru with two (2) dedicated drive-thru teller lanes and one (1)
dedicated drive-thru ATM lane. MACU has determined through past experience that during
peak times the drive-thru need will require three (3) lanes in order to meet the appropriate
demand. MACU's hours of operation are 9am-6pm M-F and 9am-3pm on Saturday (closed
Sunday).
MACU would like to break ground by spring 2021. Construction for typical MACU branches
takes five — six months for completion. Currently, MACU is requesting a conditional use permit
for a drive thru on this property.
