DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The applicant, Glenn Walker, requests Administrative Design Review (DES) approval to
construct a new 20,000 square foot flex space building on 1.48 acres of land in the C-G zoning
district.
The site is located at 2198 E. Franklin Road.
DECISION
The applicant's request for Administrative Design Review is approved with the conditions listed
in this report.
Note: This is not a building permit. Please contact Building Services at (208) 887-2211 to
verify if you need a building permit and/or inspection. If you do need a building permit, you
must complete that process before you commence the use or construction. Please contact
Building Services for additional details about building permits and inspections.
Process Conditions of Approval
1. No signs are approved with this application. Prior to installing any signs on the property,
the applicant shall submit a sign permit application consistent with the standards in
UDC Chapter 3 Article D and receive approval for such signs.
2. The applicant shall complete all improvements related to public life, safety, and health
as set forth in UDC 11-5C-3B. A surety agreement may be accepted for other
improvements in accord with UDC 11-5C-3C.
3. The elevations prepared by ADP Architects on October 26, 2020, labeled A-3.0 are
approved by the City of Meridian Planning Division as shown in Exhibit B with the
following notations:
The applicant requests a design standard exception to the following Goal contained in
the Architectural Standards Manual:
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 tilt-up concrete with textured Tex-Cote in a sand
texture as the primary material on the building facades. The front of the building elevation
incorporates 20% of stone veneer and a high quality thicker fluted gauge architectural metal
cladding (26 gauge that is grade 80 or higher) as well as roofline variations that include
step-downs with different eave heights. Additionally, the front of the building incorporates
steel canopies creating a pedestrian scale element to the building. Staff finds the

additional landscaping islands in the front of the building brings an attractive design
to the building. Additionally, the north facade of the building sits down lower on the
property facing the I-L (light industrial) zoning district; the applicant has added
twelve (12) Slender Silhouette Sweetgum trees to this side of the building to provide
more screening. Staff supports the justifications for exemption from the Architectural
Standards Manual due to the building not facing any public roads or public spaces.

Meridian Planning Division.
5. The applicant shall pay any applicable impact fees prior to the issuance of a building
permit.
