REVISED Narrative 3085 E. Ustick Road, Meridian, ID, 83646 We are excited to create The Dalton Royal, a new concept restaurant and indoor recreational space to the corner of Eagle and Ustick Rd in Meridian, Idaho. Our space will operate as a family friendly restaurant, featuring a fully equipped commercial kitchen and bar . The menu has been crafted by a well-known chef from the Meridian area, and is complemented by local craft beers, ciders, wine service, and cocktails. The kitchen will be available during all operating hours for in- room dining or to go. The space will serve both as a location for a dining experience and a gathering space for coworkers and friends. While the primary function will be as a restaurant, we will have the capability to host other social gathering events as allowed under the principally permitted use of an indoor recreational space. This can include, but not lim ited to, hosting of private events, comedy club use, dance lessons, and more, all as a secondary use to the restaurant operations. The space will also incorporate an area for billiards, various arcade style games, and a stage for comedy acts, limited entertainment acts, and trivia nights. It is in no way designed to emulate or otherwise represent the previous application use of a concert house or a nightclub/lounge. The anticipated capacity as estimated by our architectural team should be in the 200-300 range. This should easily provide a 2:1 parking ratio using available spaces in the complex. This letter shall serve as the narrative for an application for a CZC (Certificate of Zoning Compliance) Change of Use, under an existing approved CZC for the site. The use is within compliance with the City of Meridian UDC (Unified Development Code) Chapter 4, as it is not subject to additional regulation as it is exclusively an indoor only facility and as a restaurant is required to provide one parking space per 250 square feet. With an estimated 6500 square feet of total space and no additional auxiliary spaces or mezzanines, the project will require 2 6 parking spaces as required per code. An excess of 138 spaces will be provided, with more becoming available in the future as plans are revised. As currently configured, the site will provide 530% of the parking as required by code. At the time of this letter, all but one of the proposed tenants are known, confirming previous hypothesis that the tenants sharing the parking spaces will be closed or nearing th eir closing hours at the time of our project’s peak hours. At this time, Jamba Juice and Wienerschnitzel are known to have limited traffic in the evening to late evening hours, Dutch Bros operates as a drive thru only model, and the urgent care facility will be closed or nearing close of business as our facility opens. Therefore, there would be no potential conflict for use of shared parking spaces. The proposed use of a restaurant and indoor recreational space are both principally permitted uses in the C-G zoning district, and will be additionally subject to compliance with the Idaho State Police Administrative Code 11.05.01.010.06 (governing food serving facilities).
