for this evening. We thank you for the fair city you have granted us the privilege to live
in. We ask now that you would grant wisdom and discernment to those members of the

approach the holiday season we ask for a spirit and a sense of joy and gratitude would
be among our citizens here. We continue to lift up those, Father, on the front lines as
they serve our community in the hospitals and in the medical profession, in law
enforcement and fire protection, Father, and our teachers and community leaders. We
ask that you would help us to be a city that would love our neighbors and it would bring
glory to your name. I asked these things through Christ, amen.

ADOPTION OF AGENDA

Bernt: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Bernt.
Bernt: I would like to make a motion to adopt the agenda as published.
Hoaglun: Second the motion.
Simison: I have a motion and a second to adopt the agenda as published. Is there any
discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it
and the agenda is adopted as published.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
PUBLIC FORUM — Future Meeting Topics
Simison: Next up is our public forum. Mr. Clerk, we had someone sign up this evening?
Johnson: Mr. Mayor, we have one gentleman signed in. James Thompson, discussing
downtown parking.
Simison: Mr. Thompson, if you would come forward and be recognized for three minutes.
Thompson: My name is James Thompson. Been -- I grew up in Meridian, Idaho, most
of my life. Went to Meridian High School. Went away for a little bit and I have been
watching how fast you have been growing and so my main concern that I'm looking at is
-- I'm watching all this development in this area and, you know, like the apartment unit I
have been looking at it, looking at the plans, and right now you guys have one parking
spot per unit and on top of that there is a bunch of retail units down there. Who knows
what that retail facility could bring. You know, if it's a Starbucks or something like that,
you never know what kind of boom would that bring. My concern with all that is in talking
to some of the owners that are down here, there is a big concern of the impact of the
economy of our business people, any-- anything -- or even just like my wife and I to come
down and visit and be here, it's turning into a place where it's -- it's not as enjoyable or
pleasant, because you are -- you can't find a parking spot, you know, or the parking spots
are -- you know, they are -- they are full. There is a lot of construction. I know that in a
-- in a sense when you have construction going on there is always discomfort in that and
that's part of growth, but with growth I'm wanting to ask you guys what is the plan that you
guys are going to have for like the apartment units that are coming in? Because for one
-- because if you look and you can -- you can Google it and it says the average amount
of vehicles per household is two. That's -- that's straight from Google and so with one --
this is just the residents there, not visitors, but residents right there, there is going to be
Page 66
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 3 of 37
an influx, theoretically, of a hundred cars that are going to have nowhere to park and so
these are not just people coming from the rural areas, they are people that are planted
here that are coming in -- and this is all -- I mean, of course, this is all theory, you know,
but the concern I have is like what plans do we have to make sure that we can keep our
local businesses alive and, you know, what -- I mean I don't know how to -- any other way
to put that. But that's my main concern is what -- I mean are we going to look at -- are
we looking at parking structures? Are we -- you know, is there people we can team up
with, other businesses that are willing to chip into that? Because I know that part of being
a community -- it's like, hey, if we can look and save money, if there is businesses that
are willing to chip in to say, hey, we are willing to partner with it -- I know there is a church
over here, they might be willing to partner with a built -- a structure and I don't know if
that's something that you guys have -- and I yield my time for questions or -- you know.
Simison: We really don't get into a dialogue at this point in time, but I can tell you if you
can give -- give the clerk your information we can follow back up with you offline with our
-- or you can talk to Councilman Bernt and he can fill you in on all -- where we are going,
but to, hopefully, answer some of your questions, but appreciate the information and
thoughts.
Thompson: Okay. So, there -- so, you are -- what you are saying is you guys don't have
a plan right now?
Simison: No. What I'm saying is the public forum is for you to convey that information,
but it's not an agenda item listed, so it's not a conversation back and forth at this time.
But we can have a conversation offline.
Bernt: Sir? Sir?
Johnson: Mr. Thompson?
Bernt: Write me an e-mail.
PROCLAMATIONS [Action Item]
1. Family Court Awareness Month
Simison: Okay. Thank you. All right. Next item up is a proclamation for Family Court
Awareness Month. I'm going to go down to the podium and I will be joined by Christy
Martin and Renee Swithin McClaskey. So, if you want to join me at the podium. So, as
was mentioned, this is a proclamation for Family Court Awareness Month. So, I'm just
going to go ahead and read my proclamation and, then, we will hear from Christy and
Renee about the organization's impacts on this issue. Whereas the mission of One
Mom's Battle, OMB, in the Family Court Awareness Month committee is to increase
awareness on the importance of a family court system that provides child safety -- or
prioritizes child safety and acts in the best interest of children and whereas FCAMC works
to increase awareness on the importance of education and training on domestic violence,
Page 67
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 4 of 37
childhood trauma, and post-separation abuse for all professionals working within the
family court system and whereas the judges and other family court professionals are
educated by the FCAMC on the empirical data and research that is currently available,
including research such as the adverse childhood experiences study, the Saunders study
and the Meier study and whereas the FCAMC is fueled by the desire for awareness and
change in the family court system, while honoring the children in the United States who
have been murdered by a parent after a custody court rejected the other parent's plea for
protection. Therefore, I, Mayor Robert E. Simpson, hereby proclaim November 2021 as
Family Court Awareness Month in the City of Meridian and urge our residents to learn
ways to prioritize child safety and act in the best interest of children. Would you like to
come forward?
McClaskey: Thank you. My name is Renee McClaskey and this is Christy Martin and we
are honored to accept this proclamation on behalf of Family Court Awareness Month.
Twelve years ago my sister Tina, the founder of this movement, entered the family court
system naively believing that child safety was prioritized. My sister's safety and my
niece's safety was not prioritized. They were repeatedly placed in harm's way. Finally,
after six years my sister's concerns were all validated, but what she and her daughters
went through to get to that point is unacceptable. We must do better. Our children are
our future. Heidi de Leone, a Meridian resident, was viciously murdered in 2019. Heidi
was a member of my sister's support group. She reached out to my sister for help in
December of 2018 and less than two weeks later she was murdered. She feared for her
life daily and expressed concerns to the family court system for years. Had they listened
sooner she may be standing here with us today. We would like to dedicate this
proclamation to Heidi's daughters and we thank the City of Meridian for standing with us
and proclaiming November as Family Court Awareness Month.
Martin: We know that domestic violence is about power and control. The desire to
maintain power and control doesn't mysteriously vanish when the relationship ends, it
transitions into post-separation abuse and the family court system becomes the platform.
The need for power and control often escalates and the desire to hurt the healthy parent
and win at all costs become the driving force. The children become the pawns and the
weapons. Most family court judges have no training in domestic violence or trauma. Our
lives and our children's lives are literally dependent on the court becoming educated on
these issues. We believe that the first step towards change is awareness. I'm grateful to
Meridian and to the state of Idaho for joining the list of almost 200 cities, counties, and
states that have proclaimed November as Family Court Awareness Month. Thank you
for standing with us to recognize the importance of court -- a court system that prioritizes
child safety. Thank you.
ACTION ITEMS
2. Request for Reconsideration of City Council's Decision of Wells Street
Assisted Living/Andorra Subdivision (H-2021-0024) by Jamie Koenig
of Babcock Design, Located at 675, 715 and 955 S. Wells St.

Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 5 of 37
Simison: Thank you again for being here. Council, with that we will move on to ourAction
Items for this evening. First item up is a request for reconsideration of City Council's
decision of Wells Street Assisted Living/Andorra Subdivision, H-2021-0024. I will turn this
over to Mr. Nary.
Nary: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. You have before you a request
for reconsideration of the decision that was made by this Council a few weeks ago on the
Andorra Sub and the Wells Street annexation. The decision at that time was denial of the
project. They have properly filed a request for reconsideration, which is required by code
for them to ask. It's up to this Council and, basically, your decision point is either to
approve the request for reconsideration, schedule it for a new public hearing. Deny the
request for reconsideration and that's the end of it as far as the city's perspective at this
time. And the third option is to review the findings, make amendments or changes to the
findings that you think are necessary. We reviewed the findings. We helped draft the
findings. We are comfortable that the findings meet the legal requirements that are
necessary and are defensible, but it's your decision on whether or not you want more or
a different outcome or if you want to have a new hearing. So, it's your decision. As you
know this really isn't a hearing in that sense. The applicant is here. They have their
counsel here, but they -- this is not a dialogue. This is simply a if you have questions, if
you want some clarity, if you are unclear about something, it's your option to ask that
question, but, other than that, it's really a decision and that's where we are.
Simison: Thank you, Mr. Nary. Council, questions, comments, actions, motions?
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: I was just going to say I was absent at that meeting, but I have read the minutes
of the meeting and fully understand the -- what took place and -- and the decision that
was reached and I certainly respect the decision of this group that -- whatever they
direction they determine to go, as they did at that meeting. So, just wanted to put that on
the record.
Simison: Thank you, Mr. Hoaglun.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: The letter submitted by Givens Pursley-- I appreciate the feedback and context
provided by Mr. Nary. I don't see any reason for me to change the recommendation of
denial that I made I think at that meeting. With that, Mr. Mayor, I would move that we
deny the reconsideration request for the Wells Street Assisted Living/Andorra
Subdivision, Item No. H-2021-0024.

Perreault: I second that motion.
Simison: I have a motion and a second to deny the request for reconsideration. Is there
any discussion on the motion? If not, ask the Clerk to call the roll.
Roll call: Borton, yea; Cavener, yea; Bernt, yea; Perreault, yea; Hoaglun, yea; Strader,
yea.
Simison: All ayes. Motion carries and the request for reconsideration is denied.
MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES.
3. Public Hearing for Proposed Winter/Spring 2022 Fee Schedule of the
Meridian Parks and Recreation Department
Simison: So, with that we will move on to Item 3 this evening -- is a public hearing on
proposed Winter-Spring 2022 Fee Schedule of the Meridian Parks and Rec Department
and we will open this public hearing with Mr. White.
White: Mayor and Council, thanks for having me tonight. In front of you, like Mr. Mayor
just said, the 2022 Winter-Spring activity and class fees. Listed on there you will see the
increased percentage at the request of Councilman Cavener. Note that some of the
increases -- percentages went up based on -- we went from an 80/20 split to 70/30 split,
just to cover our costs when it comes to different facilities and things. On top of that there
is also a combination of -- depending on the class, how many days are in the -- in the
session or the dates in the class, things like that went from -- there was five Tuesdays in
the class compared to four, those types of things. So, fees are what they are there. With
that I will stand for questions.
Simison: Thank you. Council, any questions? Thank you, Garrett. This is a public
hearing. Mr. Clerk, do we have anyone signed up to provide testimony on this item?
Johnson: Mr. Mayor, we did not online. I did not check the back of the room. I will do
that.
Simison: If there is anybody that would like to provide testimony on this item, if you would
feel free to come forward in the audience at this time. If you are on online and you would
like to provide testimony you can use the raise your hand feature and we can also bring
you in. Seeing no one coming forward, nobody online, do I have a motion to close the
public hearing?
Perreault: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: Just for clarification purposes, do we make a motion to adopt the resolution
Page 70
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 7 of 37
and that's the only motion that's necessary?
Simison: After we close the public hearing.
Perreault: Oh. Mr. Mayor, I move that we close the public hearing.
Cavener: Second.
Simison: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. Any discussion? If
not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay. The ayes have it and the public
hearing is closed.
MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES.
4. Resolution No. 21-2296: A Resolution Adopting New Fees of the
Meridian Parks and Recreation Department; Authorizing the Meridian
Parks and Recreation Department to Collect Such Fees; and Providing
an Effective Date
Simison: Item 4 on the agenda is now Resolution No. 21-2296.
Perreault: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: I move that we approve Resolution No. 21-2296, adopting new fees of the
Meridian Parks and Recreation Department and authorizing Meridian Parks and
Recreation Department to collect such fees and providing an effective date.
Cavener: Second.
Simison: I have a motion and a second to approve Resolution No. 21-2096. Is there any
discussion?
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Thank you, staff. Appreciate you guys putting in the increase and I like seeing
some of those new classes. I don't know what this tree climbing thing is, but I'm interested
in learning more about it. So, appreciate it.
Simison: Is there any further discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye.
Opposed nay. The ayes have it and the resolution is agreed to.
MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES.

5. Public Hearing for Settlers Square (H-2021-0072) by Brighton
Development, Inc., Located on the Northwest Corner of W. Ustick Rd.
and N. Venable Ave., Adjacent to the Mid-Mile Mark Between Linder
Rd. and Meridian Rd.
A. Request: Modification to the Existing Development Agreement (Inst.
#2016-097989) for the purpose of entering into a new agreement to
incorporate a new concept plan consisting of commercial and
residential uses
Simison: Next item up is a public hearing for Settlers Square, H-2021-0072. I know the
applicant has requested this to be continued. I assume you want to open it at this time?
Bernt: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Have that conversation. Okay. Well, I'm going to start by opening the public
hearing for Settlers Square, H-2021-0072, and turn this over to Councilman Bernt.
Bernt: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I -- since we are -- since we opened the public hearing for
this one issue I would like to recuse myself from further discussion with regard to this
item. So, thank you for that time.
Simison: All right. Perfect. Thank you. Alan?
Tiefenbach: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, Alan Tiefenbach, associate planner,
standing in for Joe this evening. This was a request to modify an existing concept plan
basically at the northwest corner of Ustick and Venable. The original development
agreement required a hundred percent commercial and they wanted to amend this to
allow a mix of multi-family and commercial. When the staff wrote the staff report we were
recommending denial. Based on that recommendation of denial the applicant wanted to
see if they could work out the issues and are requesting a continuance until November
23rd.
Simison: All right. So, Council, you have at least heard the rationale. We do have the
applicant on. Would you like to hear from the applicant as well at this time? Seeing none,
at this point in time. Mr. Clerk, we did have some people who signed up to provide
testimony on this item tonight?
Johnson: Yes, Mr. Mayor. Four people signed in to wish to testify.
Simison: Okay. So, Council, I guess that begs the question, if we want to hear from the
public as well or if they are -- depending on what date is potentially selected if they are
able to return and provide testimony at that time or not.
Perreault: Mr. Mayor?
Page 72
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 9 of 37
Simison: Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: I would prefer to -- to wait on the public testimony, so that the applicant can
respond to any concerns the public presents.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman --
Hoaglun: Hoaglun.
Simison: -- Hoaglun. Thank you.
Hoaglun: No. I think if this -- if there is going to be changes to this I think -- as long as
we can make sure they have that information in advance to review it. Their testimony
may change. I don't know. And just have to see what -- what their updated plan would
be. So, I think that way we can -- everyone can speak to what's in front of us, instead of
speaking to something that will no longer be in front of us. So, I think as long -- and, Alan,
I think we will be good in having that out in enough time for that hearing for folks to review
it; is that correct?
Tiefenbach: Yes, sir.
Hoaglun: Okay.
Simison: And I think that is a good differentiation than just they can't be here, the project,
taking testimony versus the project is going to be different.
Tiefenbach: Correct. We are not sure exactly what the proposal is going to be yet, which
is why it might be a little premature to have too much public discussion until we know
what their revised proposal is going to be.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: I appreciate when our public take time out of their busy schedule to come down
and testify and it can always be a little surprising when there is a continuance requested.
When I look at the request to date it's a -- for many folks a holiday week. I don't know the
likelihood of the folks that are here to testify, if they are going to be able to attend on the
23rd and wouldn't want to take away their ability to provide that feedback and so I -- I
guess maybe, Mr. Mayor, a straw poll of those in attendance if the 23rd also works for
them or maybe you want to wait until a little bit later in December, so that those that made
time to be here tonight are able to attend to provide their testimony with the updated
information.
Page 73
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 10 V,37
Simison: Okay. And there is also the remote option for people as well if they can't be
here in person. That's the beauty of our new system. Is the 23rd the date that -- I know
we do have a busy calendar on the 23rd already anyways. Mr. Clerk, do you want to
weigh in on --
Johnson: You do have four public hearings on the 23rd. Two of them are related to urban
renewal.
Borton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Borton.
Borton: My gut reaction is the first Tuesday of December would be better. I mean we
have got staff reports to get out, get to the public, let them digested it and I think it would
-- it could only help in light of what was talked about with the weekend or the holiday
week, so --
Simison: Can we find out if that works for the applicant, who is in the room?
Johnson: Mr. Mayor, Mr. Wardle is online. He should be able to speak.
Wardle: Mr. Mayor, Council, Jon Wardle. Can you hear me?
Simison: Yeah. You are muffled, Jon.
Wardle: Sorry about that. Sorry. Bad connection tonight. In appears you want -- you
are asking for the first week in December, like December 7th; is that correct?
Simison: Correct.
Wardle: That would be fine.
Simison: Okay. All right. Thank you, Jon. So, for those who signed up with the audience,
December 7th. Yes. Let's see if -- yeah. All right. Well, then, with that do I have a
motion?
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: I move that we continue the public hearing for Settlers Square, H-2021-0072,
until December 7th.
Perreault: Second that motion.
Simison: I have a motion and a second to continue this item until December 7th. Is there
Page 74
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 11 of 37
any discussion?
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Or maybe just some discussion. I think I heard maybe from a couple people in
the back of the room that that day does not work and that they strongly prefer to testify. I
would hate for someone who showed up and that day doesn't work -- to not have that
opportunity in person. I personally would like to open the public hearing and allow them
to do that.
Simison: What --what I heard was today would be great. I didn't hear that they could not
be here on that day, just today would be great, but --
Borton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Borton.
Borton: The trade-off-- and then -- and remote testimony is great if it's an option, but the
trade-off is if we hear testimony today it might be about a project that isn't what's actually
before us, so we don't know exactly what to do with the testimony that's provided. So, it
kind of cuts both ways. If -- if there is an opportunity to participate on the 7th, even if it's
remote, it's probably more substantively on point to what's ultimately presented in light of
the reason for this continuance. So, that's generally why we bumped it when the -- when
the need for the change is, because the application is not quite cooked yet, so --
Perreault: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: I would just like to mention that anyone is welcome to send in an e-mail to the
city, a handwritten letter to the city, a voice message to the city and we do look at all of
those prior to our hearings as well.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: There is a motion on the floor, so I don't know how that works, but I would move
that we open the public hearing and take testimony from anybody that's --
Simison: We would have to -- have to do that and, then, I'm going to ask staff to present
and this is not our staff member to present. Then I'm going to have to ask the applicant

to present as well. So, just so we understand, we are going to not get a good project,
because we don't even have our staff member in the room either, so -- but let's -- let's go
with the disposition of the motion and the second.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor, I did specifically make the motion because of the fact that we are
going to hear testimony on something that may not be relevant and that's a waste of their
time and I know we have got options for them to provide testimony. It doesn't -- if there
is a substantial change -- you know, there might be things related to traffic and that sort
of thing that might be similar, but overall I just would like the comments to be specific to
the project that we will be considering at that time. That's my -- my only reason for doing
it. It's not to exclude anybody, but it's certainly to make sure that testimony is relevant to
what we are considering.
Simison: Well, we do -- as mentioned we have a motion and a second we have to dispose
of that either by vote or by the motion and second maker withdrawing their motions, so
-- then with that I will ask the clerk -- all those in favor of continuing the public hearing,
please, say aye. Opposed nay?
Cavener: Nay.
Strader: Nay.
Simison: The ayes have it. We will continue the public hearing and that's when we will
take public testimony on this item. Thank you.

Simison: Next item on the agenda is a public hearing for Intermountain Wood Products
Expansion, H-2020-0042. We will open this public hearing with staff comments.
Tiefenbach: Good evening, Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. Alan Tiefenbach,
associate planner with the City of Meridian. This is a proposal for an annexation of three
acres of land with the I-L zoning district, request for a DA modification and two future land
use amendments. So, the existing property -- the proposal consists of six properties. So,
one, two, three, four, five, six and they are located near the East Franklin Road-South
Locust Grove intersection. Two of these properties, these two here -- hopefully you can
see. It looks like you can see my pointer. These two properties here are already in the
city. These two properties here are presently in the county and zoned RUT. And, then,
there is also these two properties here -- and I'm going to talk about that a little more.
These properties are only being proposed for a future land use map amendment. They
are really not part of this development proposal. But, again, I will talk about why they are
being included. So, to the north of the property these -- these two here, if you can see
my pointer, these are the ones that are being proposed for annexation. To the north of
that is zoned RUT. It's existing rural residential. To the east over here is R-15 and C-N.
To the south, which is down here, is zoned C-C. It recently was approved for a childcare
facility, the Learning Tree, and, then, to the west over here this is all an existing office
park. So, the two lots that are being proposed for annexation, these two -- or sorry. The
two lots that were -- that are presently in the city, they contain an existing business and
these were annexed in 1996 and platted as what was known as the Medimont Subdivision
No. 2. There was a conditional use that was approved for this. It was for a whole --
wholesale building materials building and that was approved in 2001 and the CZC was
approved in 2003. The two parcels proposed to be annexed and zoned to I-L -- that's
what you see here. These properties are being proposed in order to do an expansion of
the existing business and, again, these are presently in the county and they are not
platted. The two additional lots down here proposed for a future land use amendment --
and, again, I will go into more detail about that. These -- 385 and 381 South Locust
Grove, these were annexed in 1999 and CZCs were issued for that existing daycare in
2012 and 2017. Once again, although these lots are being included as part of the
Comprehensive Plan land use map amendment, they are not part of this development
and I will go through in specificity. Trying to get this thing to move for me here. Why is
this not working? Okay. There we go. Okay. So, again, here is a summary of requests.
The first is to annex two properties into the city with the I-L zoning to construct a 59,000
square foot and some change square foot warehouse. So, these are the existing
buildings that are here. These are the two properties that are being proposed for
annexation. This would be the warehouse that they want to build. The other proposal is
for a development agreement modification and the reason why is they want to remove a
requirement for a permanent 20 foot wide landscape planting strip. This long blue sliver
here, this is what is shown on the plat right now. The existing meet the Medimont
development subdivision -- the development agreement required that there be a
permanent planting strip in there. And, again, I will go into more detail about that. And
the third request is for future land use map amendments. So, the first amendment is to
change the designation of the properties to be annexed, which would be these two here,
from mixed use community to industrial to allow the zoning for the warehouse. This is
Page 77
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 14 of 37
what is existing now. Here is what is being proposed tonight. The second map
amendment involves these two properties down here. And, again, this is where that
existing Learning Tree facility is. These --these properties are being designated -- or also
designated for mixed use community to commercial and the reason why these -- that we
are changing the land use map amendment here is when we talked to the applicant about
this we didn't think that it was a good idea to have these two little enclave pieces zoned
mixed use community. It made more -- it was a cleaner thing to do to rezone -- to re-
designate these to be commercial to fit with the rest of the commercial to the south and
to the west. So, it's merely just a cleanup, so you don't have too little floater pieces here
that are -- that are designated for mixed use community. So, that's the only reason that
they are included into this tonight. Okay. So, I'm going to talk a little bit about this proposal
now. So, again, the area is presently designated for mixed use community under the
future land use map. To the east of the subject property, across South Locust Grove, is
single family attached, that's what you see over here. There is also a religious institution,
which you can see here. There are commercial and office uses to the south. Down here.
And directly adjacent to the west, all of this, is a 27 acre industrial park, including the --
the buildings that are part of the existing business. Adjacent to the north here are two
existing single family residences and north of those is a two and a half acre property
zoned R-4, with a development agreement that allows 95 multi-family units. Also this now
is a large ACHD detention pond. When this was approved for the 95 units it was all one
big piece. Since, then, it's been subdivided off. So, it's probably not going to fit 95 units.
Kind of a side note there. Given the existing development in the vicinity, the size of the
remaining undeveloped properties and that the UDC require a site circulation to occur
from a local street, staff does not believe that the subject properties have the accessibility
and are viable for the integrated walkable synergistic development that's anticipated by
the plan for mixed use community. Staff does believe a plan amendment is appropriate
to allow a change to industrial designation for the subject properties and a commercial --
commercial designation for the properties to the south. So, again, that would be these
properties down here. However, staff does have -- does have reservations about how it
would interact with the existing properties to the north and -- and in the future what kind
of issues, if any, it would cause for the rest of the properties to the north being
recommended -- still being designated for mixed use community. Okay. For the DA
modification. The existing businesses within the Medimont development agreement. So,
this here is the existing business in this building here and this is all an industrial
subdivision called Medimont Development Agreement and that DA requires a permanent
20 foot wide landscape planting strip along the east boundary. That is this long sliver that
you see here. This -- until recently all of this was owned by the property owners
association. This was required, because all of this -- at the time that that subdivision was
done all of this was residential. There was really probably no intentions of anything other
than residential at that time, so this landscape strip was required to buffer the industrial
from the residential uses. This proposal would create a new development agreement for
the subject properties and would remove the requirement for this buffer in this little area
directly adjacent to the subject properties. Again, like I said, this buffer was in a common
lot and it was owned by the Stonebridge Owners Association. In February of 2021 the
portions of the common lot between the existing business and the parcels to be annexed
-- so, again, if you can see my little red pointer -- basically in this area here. This was
Page 78
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 15 of 37
deeded to the applicant. Unfortunately, it was done improperly. They didn't go through a
subdivision in order to do that, so it's not a proper subdivision. The applicant is going to
be required to be able -- to have to do a short plat in order to merge those in and the
reason why is because it was actually subdividing this parcel. This was one large piece.
When they merged this in they are actually cutting that piece of property in half and in
order to cut it in half like that you are actually doing a subdivision, so it is required to do a
short plat. In addition to that, when staff went out on a site visit, all of the trees that were
initially planted here had been cut down. They were laying in the front of the property.
Staff requested that they -- and staff noted to the applicant that those trees were part of
the DA requirement. You can't cut down the trees. Staff requested that the applicant
account for all those trees that had been removed and the applicant responded that 11
trees have been removed in this area, ranging in diameter from 11 and a half inches to
20 inches to a total of 169 inches. So, one of our conditions of approval is that that
number of caliper inches be provided in addition to what the regular landscaping
requirements are. Are you following me so far with all this? I know it's complicated. I'm
seeing head nods. Good. Okay. Site plan. In the staff report, the original one that you
had, staff noted that although we support the use in the future land use map amendments,
that there were issues to be worked out with the concept plan and elevations and the
reason why is with the original version of the concept plan there was -- we had issues
with access. In particular -- and this is one of the things we will ask for you to discuss
tonight-- is primary access coming off of Locust Grove. Excuse me. This was the original
one. Primary access coming off of Locust Grove. There also at the time was not access
provided to the north and to the south and our regulations say that if you are on an arterial
street that if you have the ability to provide access to adjoining properties you are
supposed to do that. The residential buffer on the original concept plan did not meet the
requirements. The loading bay that you see here was too close to the adjacent residential
properties. It has to be more than 300 feet. Again, like I said, there wasn't cross-access
that was provided and all of the parking was provided between the front of the building
and the street and our site and design standards say that no more than 50 percent of the
parking can be between the building and the street, so you are not looking at a sea of
parking and cars. And also there was some questions about whether the building met
modulation requirements. Meaning you have to -- you have to vary the -- the wall plains.
If you look at this site plan you will see it's very square. In response to the staff report --
pretty much on the day of the Planning Commission meeting the applicant provided us
an updated concept plan. That's the concept plan that you see here on the right-hand
side of the page. All of those issues, except for one, have been resolved. So, the
residential buffer has been widened. The loading bay has been moved to be further than
300 feet. There was cross-access that has been provided down to the south, although
it's still not shown to the north. All of the parking has been broken up, so it is not in front
of the building and since then you can see how the building now modulates. With that
when we went to the Planning Commission we said that we were okay now with the
concept plan as it was being proposed. The only issue that we had, first of all, is that it
still did not show access to the north and the second was that staff was still noting that
primary access was coming off of South Locust Grove and per our requirements it's
supposed to be closed. I know that that was one of the -- the issues that the applicant
had was they didn't want to close its access. Staff's comment to the applicant and to the
Page 79
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 16 of 37
Planning Commission was if the Planning Commission wanted to deliberate on this and
say they supported keeping the South Locust Grove access, staff would not oppose this.
The Council has the ability to waive the requirement. So, if the Council wants to waive
the requirement and allow this South Locust Grove access again -- again the staff did not
strongly oppose this. This was merely an issue of regulations. ACHD did review this and
ACHD did not have any concerns with this. Our big concern was trucks and whether or
not there would be big trucks coming in and out of there. I know that the one person that
submitted public testimony at hearing did have some comments about trucks. I'm not
sure if they are here this evening. The last thing I wanted to talk about was in the original
staff report the first version of the elevations almost all of it was metal siding. There was
--there was no accents. There were facade sections that were longer than 50 feet without
modulation. There was roof lines that didn't have breaks and it was possible it wasn't
meeting the fenestration requirements. So, what you see here on the top was the original
version that went to the Planning Commission. Again, on the day of the Planning
Commission applicant submitted elevations that were significantly better than the original
ones. In general, when we are talking about elevations in building design, this is
something that's usually worked out with staff and the applicant outside of the hearing.
It's something we do at the certificate of zoning compliance and we make sure that it
meets the ASM requirements, but we were calling out the original elevations, because we
didn't want them to get approved in the hearing as they were when they were so far from
-- from being -- to the ASM. What we see on the bottom now, what you are looking at, we
believe they have made a huge amount of progress. We think that probably with a little
bit of back and forth we could get it there. Staff has received two letters. One letter
expressed -- expressed numerous concerns. It was by a property owner that lives in the
subdivision to the east, right about the center of that subdivision. That was in regard to
traffic, lighting, safety, loss of property values. The other letter that I received was from
the property owner that is to the south. They -- their concerns were -- they wanted to
make sure that access was provided, because they have an access easement here. They
only saw this version of the concept plan. The most recent version of the concept plan
does provide that access, so I don't know if the adjacent property owner now has seen
that. I would assume that they would be in favor of that, because that's what they were
asking for. With that staff recommended approval with the conditions listed in the staff
report, with the addition that--the site plan now we support the site plan. The only change
we would recommend is that the Council debate whether they want to have access off of
South Locust Grove and we would still need to see a northern access connecting to the
northern properties, even if they are not going to be developing -- developing those
northern properties for some time, they would need to provide an access easement. At
the Planning Commission on October 7th the Planning Commission moved to
recommend approval. They also liked the most recent version of the concept plan, the
one that I showed you tonight, dated October 7th. They supported keeping the South
Locust Grove access open. With that I have concluded my presentation. Certainly happy
to offer any clarification or answer any questions, Council.
Simison: Thank you, Alan. Council, any questions?
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Page 80
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 17 of 37
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Thank you so much, Alan. It is a complicated one, so I'm sure all I will get us
going down a rabbit hole just to start out. My biggest concern -- I want to kind of put the
annexation and expansion of this business to the side for a second. I hate changes to
the Comprehensive Plan and the FLUM. I know we are limiting that now. I think to twice
a year or once a year. I think we had some that were grandfathered in. Maybe this fits in
that category. My question is describe the ownership of all of the parcels that are affected
by the changes to the FLUM, because I'm concerned that there isn't common ownership
of all of these -- maybe I'm just not following it in the application, but I would hate for us
to be making changes to the FLUM affecting property that may not be aware of the
changes and that's my main concern.
Tiefenbach: Very reasonable question. Thank you. Okay. So, the -- if you can see the
bottom right, the two properties that you see in gray here, those are the ones that are
being proposed by the applicant. The two properties you see here that are being
recommended for change to commercial were also co-applicants on this application. So,
even though they are not part of this development, they actually did sign the application
and did -- did submit affidavits of legal interest. So -- so, they are on board and okay --
okay with it.
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Mr. Mayor. Thank you. That clears it up. It wasn't clear to me -- just trying to
follow all the addresses, like which ones were on board. Okay.
Tiefenbach: Very little of this is clear. This is very difficult.
Strader: Fair enough. And so, then, I guess my next question would be what -- how did
this FLUM amendment come to be or is this -- like this is from our old process and this
application has been ongoing since earlier in the year -- or help me understand how we
ended up with a FLUM amendment.
Tiefenbach: Yeah. There is -- there is a regulation now that says you can only amend
the FLUM -- and I'm -- off the top my head -- you know it more than I do. This was
grandfathered in. So, this application came in before that requirement happened. So,
they -- they got in right before you passed it.
Strader: Sorry. One more.
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: And so do we have any kind of different outreach than normal -- than our normal
notifications to property owners considering we are doing a FLUM -- considering a FLUM
amendment outside of what will now be the go forward cadence for City Council?
Page 81
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 18 of 37
Tiefenbach: Actually, there isn't a posting that is required for a future land use map
amendment, so there was actually more notification that happened with this. If we were
just changing the future land use map we wouldn't have had to post this, but because this
was actually a specific piece of property, all the property owners within 500 feet were
notified. There was a sign posting that went up. So, anybody that was around this area
would have been notified that this was one of the things that was being proposed.
Strader: Thank you.
Simison: Councilman Bernt.
Bernt: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Just one question. Thank you for that presentation.
Although complicated, very clear. My -- my question is regard to the property to the north.
You mentioned in your presentation that there would -- leaving those properties as mixed
use community might be an issue. Can you, please, let us know what your concerns are
with leaving the properties to the north mixed use commercial?
Tiefenbach: I guess -- there are only -- it was more -- we weren't sure -- I guess our
concerns were we weren't really sure how this was going to interact. What we would be
left with was just these properties here, mixed use commercial. We already know that
this one here -- or sorry. That this one here is zoned to allow apartments. So, it, basically,
comes down to these little two properties here are being designated for mixed use
community. I think more than likely what you will see in the future will be some sort of
proposal to designate that to something else, but we are not sure now how all this would
integrate and function if it really was proposed, someone wanted to do some kind of mixed
use community proposal. It doesn't have great access. It's not big enough. We are not
sure if the way that it's already built out and what's already being there is -- is copacetic
with a mixed use community type project, but there are some questions. We are not sure
how this would play out in the future. I don't have a solid answer for you. I just wanted
-- it was -- it was discussed and thought we would mention that we are just not sure what
that would mean in the future if these ones to the north were still a mixed use community.
It was -- it was a reservation more than a statement. But that said we do -- we do support
-- we do support the proposal.
Bernt: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Bernt.
Bernt: One last follow up. Were the property owners to the north notified? Did they know
of this -- of this proposed change of use?
Tiefenbach: Yes, sir, they do. The property owner directly to the north -- they will give
you her name. I can't remember. She came into the Planning Commission hearing, was
very supportive of this project. Her only concern, which is why I brought this up to you, is
she didn't understand exactly the way the process worked and she thought that we were
making them put access into her property and all we were doing is saying that they had
Page 82
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 19 of 37
to provide an easement, so that when those -- if and when those properties develop in
the future, whether it's ten years or 20 years, that now there is access. So, she didn't
understand that. But she did come into the hearing -- and I'm sure they can -- they can
expand on it, talk about them being very good neighbors and that they would work with
her very well.
Bernt: Mr. Mayor, that's all.
Simison: Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Alan, you mentioned that the changes in the original
staff report that were made and, then, the applicant followed up the day of the original
Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, so the public didn't -- that testified didn't have
opportunity to review those changes made by the applicant and the Commission did not
have an opportunity to fully review those changes made by the applicant; is that right?
Tiefenbach: Ms. Council Person, Members of the Council, actually, the Planning
Commission did get to review it. We -- we had time to tell them -- basically exactly what
I just did to you, to tell them what the changes were. The changes that they implemented
made it a better project, but didn't significantly change it. So, it took the parking off the
street. It did more modulation to the building. It -- there was still some question about
where the Locust Grove access would occur. It pushed the outdoor activity area into
being in conformance with the code. Originally it was too close to the residential. So,
none of the changes that were being recommended by staff would have really made a
significant difference. In fact, it would have made it a better project. The only difference
was that we were asking the applicant to provide northern and southern access and,
again, the property owner to the north already knew about that access. The property
owner to the south actually commented on the original plan and complained that there
wasn't any access. So, there really aren't any changes that would affect anybody
adversely, only positively.
Perreault: Mr. Mayor, a follow up.
Simison: Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: In my opinion -- and I will make this short, because the applicant still needs to
share. The -- a number of conditions in the original staff report were so significant that if
those were fulfilled we might not even be looking at the same concept and so I just have
a lot of concern about that. So, hopefully, when we hear from the applicant we can kind
of address that and if you have anything to share about that statement I just made I would
appreciate it.
Tiefenbach: Again, really, the -- the significant changes where they modulated the
building. They moved the parking off of the front. They moved the drive -- they move the
outdoor loading aisle and they provided access to the north and the south. Those --those
were the issues that we had. All of those have been resolved, except that they still haven't
Page 83
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 20 of 37
shown a northern access and Council should discuss whether they support the Locust
Grove access.
Simison: Council, any additional questions for staff? All right. Ask the applicant to,
please, come forward.
Brown: For the record Kent Brown. 3161 East Springwood, Meridian, Idaho. While we
were discussing the recent changes that were made at the Planning and Zoning hearing,
the staff report didn't come out really early and when we -- as soon as we knew about
those changes we made those as quickly as possible and it was very easy to do for the
most part. We had our loading dock closest to the northwest corner of our building and
we moved it to the southwest corner of our building. So, that was the biggest part of the
change. If you look on the screen, the Belveal Subdivision, that property is to the south
of us. Alan has made reference that there is a daycare there. Brent Belveal and I did
that subdivision just recently. There is a flex building that's supposed to go adjacent and
parallel to Locust Grove and, then, there is parking behind and, then, when the tenant of
the daycare leaves there will be a duplicate building in the back and there will be parking
in the middle. If you go to the next one. One more. Here is the Belveal Subdivision. So,
we have known where that access is. This is their access off of Locust Grove. So, that
doesn't get interfered with and we have always known that that access was in the middle
of their property and that we could accommodate that -- that location. If you go back to
the first one again. The property owner to the north of us, those two properties are
enclaves and they have been annexed. When we first started designing this project we
approached the highway district, because access to Locust Grove is critical, and asked
them where we wanted -- or where they wanted it. There is numerous locations. We
could have put it to the north -- the very northeast corner and that could have been our
shared access with that property to the north. The highway district said that they would
prefer it to align with the BellaBrook Subdivision. That's where they wanted the entrance
to be. So, we -- and that was where they -- they asked for it to be. I know Alan works on
a number of projects, but the discussion about our access to Locust Grove -- the Planning
and Zoning Commission doesn't have the right to grant that access, that's something that
the Council has to do, and so we discussed operation of our building and that's why they
agreed that they could support what we were doing. The Intermountain Woods people,
their two main buildings over here off of Atkins, in between the two buildings is where
customers come. Their customers are hardwood flooring people and cabinet makers.
They supply hardwoods and so forth for those --those types of uses. The new warehouse
will not be having any customers. The customers are taking products, they are taking
them off of Atkins. The only thing that will be coming in off of Locust Grove will be the few
employees. There is -- there is approximately 12 that would work there. Some office
people and some warehouse people. And, then, the reason that it's critical is how the
entrances to the freeway are and how they can have trucks stack up off site and, then,
schedule those trucks to come at a specific time, that they only operate between 8.00 and
5:00, so it's not after hours or extended hours. That's -- this building isn't a part of the
day-to-day operation, it's just a warehouse to store their -- their -- their hardwood
products. This strip between the two properties, there is an elevation difference in that
area. Those --those properties are going to be three feet higher. They are currently three
Page 84
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 21 of 37
feet higher than the property that is being annexed and so there is not going to be a lot of
cross-access. The Planning and Zoning Commission asked us to -- to provide a cross-
access point. The use of this property -- when we approached in our meeting with the
pre-application, staff brought up is that you have, basically, a 20 year business that's been
operating in Meridian and has been successful and they are trying to expand and make
that work for them. To me that's a success story for you in having this type of use for the
different cabinet makers and your flooring people that have access to these wood
products there. It's not generally where the general public come, but it is more of a
contractor thing and all of that access that the general public and the unloading and
loading for them is at -- off of Atkins. The unloading on this building -- if you go forward,
Alan.
Tiefenbach: Forward up or forward down?
Brown: Down. Down again. Past Belveal. The next one.
Tiefenbach: Down?
Brown: One more. So, in this northwest corner is the one spot that we would have a
ramp go in between the two properties, so that they could connect, because, otherwise,
they are going to be at different elevations. But that's the only place that between those
two properties that people would be able to connect. The parking stalls that are on the
existing, they are going to remain. There is going to be no change to that parking. But
the office is over here on the other side. I think I got one more, Alan, don't I?
Borton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Borton.
Borton: Quick question. Quick question. Kent, when you say ramp you don't mean ramp.
You mean -- you bet. You mean like actual --
Brown: It's going to have --
Borton: -- a section width for a vehicle to --
Brown: It's going to have to be some kind of ramp, because you are going to have three
foot higher in elevation that you are going to be going up to. So, between the two
properties, yeah, there will be --
Borten: The design for cars and trucks to safely utilize --
Brown: Well, forklifts and so forth, yeah, that they can do -- go through there. Yeah.
Borton: All right. Thanks.

Brown: Of what he showed and what he is showing is a lot smaller than --
Borton: Right.
Brown: -- what it would be. The architect is here and he can speak to that.
Borton: No. I just figured --just clarifying that. Thanks.
Brown: We intend on providing an access to the north. We just need to work it out with
that nice lady-- our landowner. We share that currently, those --those existing properties
not being annexed. There is a little strip. We currently have an access easement on that
with her and that's where the previous owner always went. If you go to the second picture
in this series, Alan.
Tiefenbach: Down?
Brown: Down. Up. Sorry about that.
Tiefenbach: Here?
Brown: Right there. Can you blow it up? That middle one up. So, in a line with the
church's parking lot is her driveway and the house that used to sit on that northerly piece
shared that same driveway and we have an access easement across that on her property
and so we -- we have the ability to put it, we just need to know where it's most viable for
that -- that adjoining property and understanding that is that you have limited access
points that you are going to have on Locust Grove. If you go from Watertower, you go --
that first property that's on Watertower on the corner takes off-- access off of Watertower.
Then the next one is the Belveal property and their access is on their southerly boundary.
Then this one is -- why the highway district was okay with that is that we are basically
halfway in between Watertower and Franklin Road and so they--they looked at that being
a good place to have a connection and, then, have these cross-access easements
continue from the properties going -- going to the north, so --
Borton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Borton.
Borton: On that point, Kent, would you be -- I thought the condition would be that you
would be providing the cross-access to the north, but wouldn't you also vacate the access
easement that's on that property --
Brown: We --
Borton: -- because you wouldn't need it?
Brown: We are not going to need it and at some point we are going to have to -- what we
Page 86
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 23 of 37
currently have is we have a joint agreement that we maintain it together. So, they -- they
pay part of the taxes, they -- I mean it's not in their ownership name, but it's on the deed,
it has a part of their property, and so they have an agreement and, yeah, eventually, when
and if that property develops, yeah, we would release that and make that go away. But
-- and because we don't have ownership of it, we didn't try to include that. I mean she
says that she's ready to be gone, but I think she's got her -- her kids living with her and
-- and so -- are there any questions that I can answer about this? As Treg knows, I'm -- I
drive by here probably ten times a day, so I'm very familiar with it.
Simison: So, Kent, I'm going to play off of that, just for-- not the driving by. Following up
a little bit on Joe's comment, a little bit on what Councilman Bernt mentioned before. Give
me your years of experience and expertise and tell me what this section of property looks
like redeveloping from Franklin up to the back of this tenant's property with accesses, with
land use designations as you see them, with -- can -- can that retention pond be modified
in the future, in your opinion? That's my big -- bigger concern is once you get this -- this
northern cross-access what does the rest of this look like in the future?
Brown: So, there is going to have to be one more entrance into the property and it's going
to have to be -- to even make that existing multi-family that's there on the corner. Bryce
Peterson submitted that when I was on the Planning and Zoning Commission years ago
and got that property approved for an apartment complex and they were three story
buildings and, then, the highway district started doing improvements there and on Franklin
and they also have a floodway that's there. So, the big part of the property has a pond
that you can see the road going around and the other part is floodway. So, they couldn't
put any improvements into that floodway and so they have got this strip of ground that is
to the west side of them and, then, they have a strip equally sized and by themselves they
can't develop. In the last year all of these property owners in this entire length have been
contacted by multi-family people trying to put multi-family in there. Whether that happens
--that's a possibility, but they would have to --they would have to have all three properties
most likely to make that happen. You could do some commercial, but you are going to
have commercial that is going to be further away from that intersection and what do you
do with the existing residential that's already zoned there. It would be nice if that could
be a part of that project and make that work, but it-- it is a difficult piece because of access
and anytime that you get close to a major intersection like that, you got to be far enough
away. The church has a park--driveway on the north side of the building. That's probably
as close as they could go to that intersection with an access, which just basically goes
across to the property that already had multi-family on it. It could go to the center of the
church, but that -- the highway district would probably have to speak about the distance
there to go. Could it go from a commercial use? I mean your mixed use community
wants people to drive and it's the depth of those properties that make having that type of
use. Is it more reasonable that the industrial expands? I mean until Brian in our -- in our
pre-app meeting -- I was expecting him to tell these clients, well, you tore down some
houses and you tore down some trees and you might not be able to get industrial there
and I know that that's the decision that you guys are wrestling with, but when you have
limited industrial and you have a user that is proven up and realistically you can't look at
them as out-of-state people, they have been here supplying the local people and they are
Page 87
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 24 of 37
a part of the community and there is -- they are being successful and they -- could they
expand to the north? Yeah. That would -- that would work. That was one of the
discussion items that they had, but that owner isn't ready to sell and I -- that property to
just to the north of them they just sold and they kind of like being a farm. They -- they
have got six grow boxes out there and they view themselves as farmers. So, I don't know,
I -- that's -- that's my experience. I can see it going in -- more going industrial and I can
see mixed use continuing if you include all of them and -- and I know that the developers
have tried to do it, because you get that property on the corner that already has existing
residential, you really can't make that property work without having the properties to the
north.
Simison: Thank you. I mean we have no idea what will happen, but least it gives Council
an idea as you think about access and what would be moving forward and what areas
and the importance of that north-south, etcetera. So, thank you. Council -- Council
Woman Perreault.
Perreault: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So, the size of this warehouse, it's about the size of an
Albertson's. It's huge. So, I want to understand more about what is going to -- normally
I wouldn't -- I wouldn't likely ask this question, except that it's just so big. More about
what's going to happen inside of the warehouse, so that I understand more about kind of
-- I still don't have a full grasp of the traffic flow. You addressed the number of staff that
would be coming in. My assumption is is if they are doing more manufacturing, then, they
are storing --
Brown: They are not doing manufacturing. They are storage. They are not doing --
Perreault: You had mentioned -- are they building cabinets there or --
Brown: No.
Perreault: -- are they storing items there?
Brown: Storage.
Perreault: So, do they have delivery trucks that are coming in and out during the day and
is it --
Brown: The delivery trucks are dropping supplies off and -- and, then, leaving them as a
warehouse. They are not manufacturing anything here. It is -- it is a hub that other of
their properties would come and pick up stuff, but that's why we located it in between the
two buildings, so that it's not seen by the public and the number of trucks isn't that many
trucks, because they -- they don't have the -- they don't want that -- that congestion in
their -- their operation. They have a -- even what they currently have they have an
overhead covered, because of this -- the -- the nature of their wood, they don't want it to
get damaged, so they have a covered area that they are unloading and loading stuff. So,
realistically, the activity portion of this is sandwiched -- it's the Oreo filling in between the
Page 88
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 25 of 37
two buildings, if you will, and so they are not seeing that as they are looking at -- at these
properties. What they are going to see is a warehouse with some -- a few cars for the
people that are working in that warehouse and, then, they will see -- you know, I don't
know how often. One of the people from the plants here -- and he can talk about how
often they -- but there is everything scheduled, so that it -- they are very organized in the
fact of them showing up and leaving, that there is not this congestion. They don't want
people stacked up on site and they want to be able to have access to the freeway and
this provides that they can either get off at Meridian or they can get off at Eagle, in
between the two and that's why this entrance onto Locust Grove is so critical, because
you can go over and get to the Overland Road and access those also.
Bernt: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Bernt.
Bernt: So, I agree with you in regard to there -- there is probably -- you know, the
customers aren't going to be down there, they are going to be on the other side. I'm there
all the time and so I get it. But I think there is going to be a fair amount of trucks. I mean
like Councilman Perreault mentioned, that's a -- that's a big warehouse and -- and there
is going to be a lot of product going in and out of that place and so --
Brown: I wouldn't know --
Bernt: And I know you wouldn't know that. And they could speak to it. That's fine. That's
fine. So -- but my question to you is is there a way to take those trucks off of Atkins and
bring them down, instead of having big trucks go down Locust Grove? Is that a
possibility?
Brown: Obviously it is. I mean they currently are going in there.
Bernt: Right. Don't mean to interrupt, Kent, but like I get how they are going in and they,
for sure, receive trucks on the Atkins side. My question is can they -- can those trucks
continue to go to Atkins, but is there a way from --for the big trucks that go through Adkins
and -- and deliver and unload and load at this new warehouse that you are proposing?
From Atkins, not Locust Grove.
Brown: I could have them speak to that.
Bernt: Sure. Thank you.
Brown: Anything else?
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Page 89
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 26 of 37
Strader: I have a question. We did receive some public testimony from somebody that
lives nearby and I think you did address some of the questions about traffic, but maybe
we will get into that some more. There was a concern about the lighting. I just wanted to
give you an opportunity to address that. Is there -- I know our planning staff opt -- okay.
Well, let's go there. If that's okay with you, Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Alan.
Tiefenbach: Just waiting for the go ahead, sir. Yes, some of the property owners that you
are talking about there in this subdivision here, some of the things you had concerns
about are just performance standards. If they put in lighting, the lighting has to be
downcast and shielded. It's cut off to a certain amount of foot candles. That's all stuff
that's done administratively. You can't have big bright lights shining at a house. We have
requirements and when we look at the CZC we will make sure that their lighting is
downcast and shielded. Again, if it meets -- if it's over 1 ,800 lumens, then, they have to
do a photometric plan, all that. So, lighting is not going to be an issue.
Strader: Perfect. Thanks.
Simison: If you would like to state your name and address for the record.
Partridge: Kalon Partridge with Intermountain Wood Products.
Simison: Thank you.
Partridge: I -- to answer a couple of your questions, I guess. So, trucks I think are
estimated between four and eight a day that would come in. Typically we would schedule
them throughout the day, so they would come -- like one or two at a time we would unload
them in the back and, then, they would come out the other side and leave. I don't believe
it's realistic for them to come in on Atkins, primarily because of the elevation change. It
would be -- it would restrict which direction the trucks can go and that would force all the
trucks to -- they would go through Atkins and they would get onto this new property on
the north side, which is exactly what we are trying to avoid with the loading dock moved
to the south side, so --
Simison: Council, any additional questions for the applicant?
Perreault: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: Sorry we are getting so specific, but, you know, we do have members of the
community that -- that would be asking the same questions.
Partridge: Sure.
Page 90
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 27 of 37
Perreault: When you say trucks are you meaning semi trucks?
Partridge: Yeah. Semi trucks.
Perreault: I don't see a lot of semis on this section of Locust Grove generally. So, that's
just -- I wanted to understand that. This isn't all that far from schools and there are
pedestrians in this area quite often, so just wanted to --
Partridge: I don't know -- if I may, I don't know for sure, but I would guess at least half of
the trucks that currently come into Atkins go on Locust Grove, because they come off of
Eagle and the easiest access to our property is to come south and, then, go on Locust
Grove. So, I think a good portion of the trucks are already driving through that area.
Simison: Council, any additional questions for the applicant?
Partridge: Thank you.
Simison: Thank you very much. Mr. Clerk, do we have anyone from the public signed up
to provide testimony?
Johnson: Mr. Mayor, we did not.
Simison: Okay. If there is anybody in the audience who would like to provide testimony
on this item if you would like to come forward at this time or if there is -- do we have
anybody online with this? We did not have anybody online. So, if you would like to come
forward and state your name and address for the record and you will be recognized for
three minutes.
Xu: Mr. Mayor and Council, my name is --
Simison: If you can speak into the mic.
Xu: Sorry. Mr. Mayor and Council, my name is Danny Xu. I'm -- I'm a property owner
across street, just right there in the Bellabrook Subdivision right across on Locust Grove.
From the proposed development. I didn't get a chance to submit a -- you know, a
statement before the meeting, so I just came from work. Yeah. So, basically, the question
has been asked, I just want to repeat and emphasize as a property owner living nearby
with three kids, small children, and I have significant concerns about the traffic and, of
course, it's safety related and so it looks like, you know, the information that we just
discussed that there will be fairly significant increase of traffic by semi trucks and my
personal experience -- I have lived there for almost six years now at the beginning of the
subdivision, across the street from there. I don't see a lot of semi trucks going back and
forth -- at least within that section of Locust Grove. So, that is a pretty significant concern
on my part and including my neighbors. I talked to a few of them. So, I just want to make
sure that the City Council is aware of those concerns. Thank you.
Page 91

Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 28 of 37
Simison: Thank you. Council, any questions?
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Was it Daniel?
Xu: Yes.
Hoaglun: Yeah. I appreciate that -- that comment in the testimony and so I guess for us
--for me it's weighing the factor, okay, four to eight semi trucks, which would be on Locust
Grove and, yeah, we don't -- you know, people don't want semi trucks. But if we leave it
mixed use and it goes to residential and it goes to multi-family and all of a sudden you
have 250 units and cars and from what I understand in reading the minutes for the semis,
we are looking at limited office hours or warehouse hours, you know, 8:00 to 5:00 type of
time frame. So, I'm weighing that versus a residential multi-family where you have cars
at all hours and let's say it is a 250 unit facility or even retail, which you may be operating
from 7:00 to 11:00 at night and so that's -- that's what we are trying to weigh. So, if I hear
objection to four to eight semis, I'm thinking, well, what would the -- is their objection to
having retail and -- in a mixed use community with apartment complexes and that sort of
thing, which also has impact. So, what's your flavor? Pick -- pick your poison, I guess.
Xu: Right. That's a really good question. I think -- personally I think my personal
preference will be, you know, I would lean towards the other side, which is the mixed use,
including commercial, instead of industrial, semi trucks, traffic. That's just my take. I
believe a lot of people share that, so -- yes. So, you know, it -- the other concern is that
the proposed entrance to the new -- new property, new warehouse, it's -- as we see in
the picture is, essentially, right across the street from the only entrance to my subdivision,
so -- I mean that's the only entrance and exit for that subdivision or the cars, you know,
going -- going in and out of that and when we -- you know, imagine that we actually try to
drive out of the subdivision and, then, there is a semi truck coming out from the other
side, that's -- yeah. That's my concern.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor, follow up?
Simison: Mr. Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: And, Daniel, I appreciate that input and -- and that's, again, why I'm weighing
this thing is, okay, if their hours are 8:00 to 5:00 and there are four to eight -- is because
it's a warehouse, it's not a long expanded time and when you leave at rush hour -- and
let's see if you leave at 7:15 or 7:30, there shouldn't be any traffic and when you say --
and you have commercial or multi-family across there, you have got many cars going at
the same time. That's why I'm trying to weigh this and thinking, well, there is a lot of
advantages for going this route than the other route in terms of impacts to traffic and --
and impacts to your neighborhood of coming in and out. So, that's -- that's -- that's my
Page 92
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 29 of 37
thinking on this, so --
Xu: There -- there is -- the reality is that there is already a lot of traffic on Locust Grove.
You know, it's not like Eagle Road, but it's -- it's -- you know, because of Eagle Road I
believe a lot of people try to avoid it, so they actually take Locust Grove. So, every day
-- I mean if I get home early, like even before 5:00, you know, sometime during the noon,
lunch hours, or starting, you know, after 3:30 when school is out, already have a lot of
traffic. No semi trucks, but just ordinary traffic in that that section of Locust Grove. So,
imagine -- you just mentioned that the office hour is like 8:00 to 5:00. So, definitely that
overlaps the kind of rush hour and, then, you know, there is actually a long line of normal
traffic because of the traffic lights, the wait, and -- and, then, you know, that's even -- you
know, that started way before 5:00 o'clock and now you have semi trucks waiting to get
out. That's -- you know, we are going to expect a lot of traffic jam there.
Hoaglun: Appreciate your input. Thank you.
Xu: Sure. You're welcome. Thanks.
Simison: Is there anybody else that would like to provide testimony on this item at this
time from the public? Then would the applicant like to come forward for final comments?
Brown: For the record Kent Brown. 3161 East Springwood. When you look at the area
and you take the area directly north on the north side of Franklin, that--that's an industrial
area and there is semi trucks, so -- and as I drive through there all the time I pick Locust
Grove and, yeah, there is times when I don't pick it. I don't pick it between 4:30 and 6:00,
because that's when that intersection is really backed up. When I first started going down
there Locust -- Locust Grove was a dead-end road that just went past Treg's house and,
basically, just stopped. It was a really nice road, because an ACHD employee lived up
there and that road always got chipped sealed and was well taken care of. But the city
like you are currently doing with Linder Road, got that overpass in and worked with Jabil,
which was another one of my clients that did that in that area. This really works in this
location. If you limit the access and say you can't come off of Locust Grove, they are
going to be driving right past the same areas to get into Atkins, because you have to go
-- you can either enter it from Watertower or you are going to enter it from Franklin. Either
one they have got to go in there. Most likely they are going to drive up to Watertower,
because turning there on Franklin Road closer to that intersection -- Franklin is busy all
the time, too. So, I know that that is a challenge we -- we hear about traffic all the time.
Councilman Hoaglun really hit it really well is -- I think it would be different if this was a
different type of a warehouse, but these guys have a limited number of trucks that are
coming. That's one of the things that I liked. And when -- when they approached me I
kind of wondered about it, because I haven't had the best of luck doing things close to my
home and having neighbors not like me and I like this project. I think that they are a good
use here and -- and I don't view them being the traffic issue that people are concerned
about and that's my final comments. Thank you. Council, questions?
Bernt: Mr. Mayor?
Page 93
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 30 of—
Simison: Councilman Bernt.
Bernt: Kent, you are one of the best. You know that. I just -- my other concern was -- I
just -- I want it to be a good good looking building and --
Brown: So do 1.
Bernt: You know, I don't want it to be a warehouse. Are you guys listening? Like I don't
-- I don't want it to be like what your warehouses look on the other side. The reason why
you get away with it is because it's industrial, it fits the mark. Don't make this look like
your other facilities. And I'm not saying that they look bad, because they look great. But
it matches everything else that's over there; right? This has -- you're right next to
residential, you are right next to a thoroughfare that's going to be busy. Dress it up. Just
do me a favor and dress it up. Don't make it look like a normal warehouse. I think -- I
think that -- other than that I think that we are in good shape. Are we good? Okay.
Nary: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, Kent, I guess I'm curious -- I don't necessarily
see Intermountain Wood Products going anywhere anytime soon. They have been there
for more than 20 years.
Brown: Right.
Nary: But would they be okay with the DA -- the modification we are talking about to
include some of those limitations that fit their business? The hours of operation --
Brown: Definitely.
Nary: -- those types of things that way -- in case it were to change, so that we wouldn't
be faced with a different project.
Brown: So -- so, I appreciate you bringing that up, Bill, because when I -- I read that first
existing DA that's on their existing facility, the neighbors -- in fact, the sweet lady that lives
to the north of us, she said, you know, they showed up in mass to stop that industrial
development from going in against their -- their acre parcels that they had there -- two
acre or three acre parcels and the developer Barnes proposed putting in the -- the buffer.
Well, the buffer wasn't necessarily a common area lot, it was just the screening and as I
read the conditions it said you just screen residential uses that are adjacent. When this
becomes industrial we don't -- we don't need it, but I offered to the planning staff going
we want a DA that covers all of our properties and so we -- we want to include that and
definitely that's why I think it's very appropriate and your legal counsel is giving you a
good direction that you can cover some of those concerns that you are having. By the
time we put in all those extra trees that we had to mitigate that they cut down -- it's
Page 94
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 31 of 37
interesting sitting here before the meeting they said that the forester had been out and
talked to the neighborhood and said most of those trees were infested and were ready to
be cut out anyway. They maybe could have not had to do as many as they are going to
do now, but that's going to enhance the site and it's going to make it look nicer sooner,
so -- anything else?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor and Kent. Yeah. To Mr. Nary's comment about hours of operation
and whatnot, what is -- what is reasonable for -- for that? I mean it's not something you
want to go into lightly and put limits on there to --
Brown: But that's inside the warehouse, not deliveries.
Simison: For the record that was stated 8:00 to 5:00. That's what they currently do. So,
it's on the record. If you -- if you -- if you would like to come forward and add, so we can
have it on the record, please.
Brown: You are going to have to live with it, so --
Partridge: Again Kalon Partridge. At times we do have trucks coming in at 7:00 to be
unloaded and our -- our own delivery trucks going out would perhaps start at 7:00.
Our --
Brown: Is that the Atkins side or -- I guess I'm asking the question, because you --
because the DA is going to be over both pieces. What you want to do is maybe limit the
entrance off of Locust Grove to the 8:00 to 5:00, but have the other entrance be sooner,
if you can live with that.
Partridge: Yeah. We -- that would help us be flexible, because our own delivery trucks
would leave earlier perhaps at 7:00 to get on the road and those could leave out Atkins
side.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: I heard 7:00 to 5.00 p.m. for the warehouse off of Locust Grove access point?
Partridge: That's correct.
Hoaglun: Thank you.
Perreault: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Perreault.
Page 95
Meridian City Council
Item#3. November 9,2021
Page 32 of 37
Perreault: Ask this question for the applicant before the public hearing is closed, just in
case. I want to understand more thoroughly from staff about the -- the north and south
cross-access easements and what you need to see from the applicant to include that in
the DA. Do you need an updated concept plan from them? Do you need something done
legally? Do we need to have that short plat done before we do that? And perhaps this is
a question for Mr. Nary as well. I want to understand the process, because I have some
concerns about approving a DA modification without an accurate concept plan, if we are
tying one to it.
Tiefenbach: Sure. I think those are reasonable. Bill Nary, that might be one for you.
mean if we can -- we are okay with the concept plan that you see here, except that it
doesn't show a northern access. I'm not sure how specific the applicant wants to get
about putting in the northern access, but that might be -- it may be a Bill Nary question.
Nary: So, Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, so what we have done on many many
occasions, because, again, the access is really going to be dependent on what the use
is going to be. So, there will likely be some limitations on where you could logically put it
from an engineering standpoint, but we would normally require in the DA that the --
basically the applicant agree to a future -- an easement for a future access point along
their northern boundary and, basically, what happens is when that other party wants to
develop, then, they work together to say it needs to be here or it's got to be there and
where ever it's going to go and so it basically is recorded against in the DA that they will
provide it. They will, then, determine later where the exact location is going to be.
Tiefenbach: If I could add north and south.
Nary: Yeah. We can do -- we can do that. But we -- we do that all the time. That's not
a concern.
Brown: And most likely we would like to be closer to Locust Grove, but you have to have
it outside the landscape buffer and the reason being is you don't like people wandering
through your site going to some other property and so generally they are -- they are fairly
-- going to be fairly close to Locust Grove, but outside the landscape buffer and out of
parking stalls and so forth.
Simison: Council, any additional questions for the applicant? Okay. Thank you very
much.
Brown: Thank you.
Simison: So, Council, any discussion before closing the public hearing?
Perreault: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Perreault.
Page 96

Page 33 of 37
Perreault: My gut tells me this is one of those we may want to leave it open just in case
of scenarios as we discuss.
Simison: Yeah. Well, as you contemplate that for -- I think it's great to see an existing
business have an opportunity to expand and grow in our community. We are seeing this
from a lot of businesses and with the limited industrial and other challenges of wanting to
stay consistent, going to industrial is a great thing in this location and, you know, if -- but
for the already existing multi-family to the north with that pond, there -- there could be a
good argument to make this all -- area all industrial, but that will -- we will let -- the market
will determine what's available in this area, but I think in this property with these changes
I think it makes good sense for a change.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Question for Alan. Alan, what site plan are we approving for sure? Because I
noted in staff recommendation that the site plan that was presented on October 7th
hearing be the one that is approved? Is that still --
Tiefenbach: Correct. Yeah. It's the -- it's the one that was included in today's staff report
that was dated October 7th. Same site plan that was provided to the Planning
Commission. Really, the only changes that you are going to see to anything else would
be a northern and southern access. Other than that we were fine with it. And for some
discussion about the Locust Grove access.
Hoaglun: Right.
Tiefenbach: The -- since the staff report went out and the Planning Commission they
made huge improvements that we no longer have concerns with the elevations or the site
plan.
Hoaglun: Okay. Thank you.
Bernt: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Bernt.
Bernt: I move that we close the public hearing.
Hoaglun: Second the motion.
Simison: I have a motion and second to close the public hearing. Any discussion? If not,
all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it.

Bernt: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Bernt.
Bernt: You know, I -- I echo your comments from earlier. It's always wonderful to see
existing Meridian businesses expand and grow and -- and to be successful. So, this is
-- this is a true testament of that. Intermountain Hardwood have been a staple in our
community for decades and so grateful for their success and their willingness to continue
the investment in Meridian. I just hope that they dress it up, make it look good. Okay. All
right. With that said I make a motion to approve Item H-2021-0042 with the following
modifications: Making sure that there is a northern access. Not going to get too specific
on where that is, but to make sure that there is one going forward. Is there any other --
okay. And -- I thought that was already stated. And the southern boundary as well.
Anything else need to be stated? Is that good?
Nary: Limitation on hours --
Bernt: Okay.
Nary: -- on the Locust Grove access.
Bernt: 7:00 to 5:00? And making limited access to hours on the Locust Grove access
point from the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through -- throughout the week.

Bernt: Hours of operation between --
Hoaglun: Okay. Thank you.
Bernt: -- 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Locust Grove access.
Simison: Is there --
Hoaglun: I will second, Mr. Mayor. And for --
Simison: Motion and second. Is there discussion?
Hoaglun: Yes. Did we want to add in -- I think we have to -- Council needs to act on
waiver to allow access off--off of Locust Grove is one of the items that we need to include.
And -- and, then, I -- I think we need to just make sure it's agreed to that the site plan is
as presented on October 7th, just to cover all our bases, so --

Hoaglun: -- do this during the discussion portion, but just, Daniel, appreciated your
testimony and for us up here, having -- we do a lot of these around the city. We really did
try to pick the lesser of the traffic impacts and I know we are talking about semi trucks,
which, you know, causes consternation, but seeing what we see with multi-family and
commercial and the impact that has on the roads, I hope you trust us that we really did
want to do what was the least worst for your neighborhood. So, hopefully -- hopefully
your neighbors will understand, so -- but appreciate you being here. Thank you.

Changes to Agenda : Item #5, Settlers Square ( H -2021 .0072) — Request to modify existing concept plan at northwest corner of
Ustick and Venable ( 112 mile mark between Linder and Meridian ) from 100 % commercial to a mix of multi -family (attached
townhome style in 3 and 4- plexes ) and commercial . Applicant is requesting continuance to update the concept plan and
provide Staff additional clarifying information following publication of the staff report and Staff' s recommendation of denial .
Item #6 : Intermountain Wood Products Expansion ( H -2021 -0042)
Application (s ) .
➢ Annexation of . 31 acres with kL zoning district, DA modification , and two FLUM amendments .
Size of property, existing zoning , and location : This proposal includes 6 properties, and located near the E . Franklin Rd I S . Locust
Grove Intersection . Two of the properties are zoned kL, two properties are currently in the County, and two properties are zoned C-C
( but the C- C zoned properties are only proposed for a map amendment, they are not part of this development) .
Adjacent Land Use & Zoning .
• North — RUT; Rural agricultural
• East — R- 15 and C- N (Single family attached and detached and religious facility)
• South — C- C , most recently approved for a child care facility (Learning Tree)
• West — kL, Industrial and business park .
History .
The two lots containing the existing business were annexed in 1996 and platted as the Medimont Subdivision No . 2 . A conditional use
was approved for a wholesale building materials building in 2001 , and the CZC was approved in 2003 . The two parcels proposed to be
annexed and zoned to kL to allow for expansion of the existing business are presently un-platted .
The two additional lots proposed for a Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment (385 and 381 S . Locust Grove Rd ) were annexed in
1999 , and CZCs were issued for or the existing daycare in 2012 and 2017 . Although these lots are being included as part of the
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment with this application , they are otherwise not part of the development.
Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation : Mixed Use Community
Summary of Request .
1 . Annex two properties into the City with I - L zoning to construct 59 , 300 sq . ft. warehouse .
2 . Remove a DA requirement for permanent 20400t4de landscaped planning strip along the east boundary .
3 . Two FLUM Amendments .
a . The first amendment is to change the designation of the properties to be annexed from mixed use community to
industrial to allow zoning to I - L for the warehouse .
b . The second map amendment involves the two properties to the south at 381 and 385 S . Locust Grove Rd (not part of the
development) being designated from mixed use community to commercial to make them more consistent with the FLUM
designations of surrounding properties to the south and west.
c . Other than the map amendment changes , the two southern properties are otherwise not part of this
development.
i Analysis
Land Use
• The area is presently designated for mixed use community under the future land use map ( FLUM) .
• To the east of the subject property across S . Locust Grove Rd is single family attached ( Bellabrook Subdivision) and a religious
institution . There are commercial and office uses to the south , and directly adjacent to the west is a 27-acre industrial park .
Adjacent to the north are two existing single-family residences , and north of those is a 2 .4-acre property zoned R-40 with an
existing development agreement for up to 95 multifamily units .
• Given the existing development in the vicinity, the size of the remaining undeveloped properties , and that the UDC requires site
circulation to occur from a local street, staff does not believe the subject properties have the accessibility and are viable for the
integrated , walkable , synergistic development that is anticipated by the Plan for mixed use community .
• Staff does believe a plan amendment is appropriate to allow a change to industrial designation for the subject properties and
commercial designation for the properties to the south .
i
• However, staff does have reservations with how the proposed development will interact with the remaining properties to the north
which would still be designated for Mixed Use Community .
DA Modification
• The existing business is within the Medimont Development Agreement.
• DA requires a permanent 20400t-wide landscaped planning strip along the east boundary .
• This was required to provide a screen for the adjacent residential properties , two of which are now proposed for the
warehouse expansion .
• This proposal would create a new development agreement for the subject properties and would remove this requirement.
• This buffer was in a common lot owned by the Stonebridge Owner' s Association .
• In February of 2021 the portions of the common lot between the existing business and the parcels to be annexed were
deeded to the applicant . This was done improperly and a short plat will be required to legitimize the lot split.
• Also , when staff went out on a site visit during the initial pre-app , they noted all the trees along the subject property had been
cut down .
• Staff requested the applicant account for all trees that had removed , and the applicant responded 11 trees had been removed
in this area ranging in diameter from 11 . 5 in . to 20 in . to a total of 169 inches .
• Staff recommends this number of trees be replaced as a condition of approval .
Site Plan
• In the staff report, staff noted although we supported the use and FLUM amendments , there were still issues to be worked out
with the concept plan and elevations and did not recommend the concept plan be approved .
• Concept plan issues included :
o Access , including access for trucks , from S . Locust Grove .
o Residential buffer that did not meet requirements .
o Loading bay that was not at least 300 ' from residential properties .
o Cross access was not provided to the north and south .
o All of the parking was located between the building and S . Locust Grove Rd .
o Building did not appear to meet modulation requirements ,
• In response to the staff report, the day of the Planning Commission the applicant resubmitted a concept plan that appears to
address all the issues except there is still not cross access to the north , a primary access is still occurring to S . Locust Grove
and a 5 ' drive aisle strip is required at the south .
• Staff recommended the Planning Commission discuss whether they recommend the Council waive requirements for access to
be allowed to S . Locust Grove and whether cross access to the north is required . The PC did support this access .
Elevations
• Original issues included :
` • Nearly the entirety of the building materials being metal siding
• Lack of accents of at least 30% along the base of the building
• Fagade sections longer than 50 ft. without modulation
• Rooflines longer than 50 ft . without roofline or parapet variations ,
• Possibly not meeting the 30% fenestration requirement or fenestration alternatives .
In response to the staff report, the day of the Planning Commission the applicant resubmitted elevations that are a significant
improvement. Staff recommends the applicant continue to work with staff to provide elevations to the City Council that comply with
the ASM requirements .
Written Testimony : Staff has received two letters . One expressed numerous concerns in regard to traffic , lighting , loss of property
values , and opposition to the changes to the comprehensive plan . The other was from the property owner to the south (which are being
designated to Commercial) . They expressed general support but noted the importance for a southern connection and maintaining
access from S , Locust Grove .
Staff Recommendation : Staff recommends approval with the conditions as listed in the staff report, with the addition that the site plan
that was presented at the October 7 , 2021 hearing be the one that is approved . Council should decide whether they will approve a
waiver to allow primary access to occur from S . Locust Grove Rd .
Planning Commission : The Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item on October 7 . 2021 . At the public hearing , the
Commission moved to recommend approval of the subject annexation , map amendment and development agreement modification
request with the October 7 , 2021 concept plan , and supported primary access from S . Locust Grove .
Notes :
Possible Motions :
Approval
After considering all staff, applicant and public testimony, I move to approve File Number H-2021 -0042, as presented in the staff
report for the hearing date of November 9 , 2021 , with the following modifications : (Add any proposed modifications to conditions)

Mayor Simison and Meridian City Council
c/o City Clerk
33 East Broadway Avenue
Meridian, Idaho 83642
RE: Request for Reconsideration in Case No. H-2021-0024, Wells Assisted Living
and Andorra Subdivision
Dear Mayor Simison and City Councilmembers:
This firm represents the applicant, Iterra Homes ("Iterra"), in Case No. H-2021-0024, a
request for annexation, zoning and preliminary plat approval for Wells Assisted Living and
Andorra Subdivision. For the reasons described in this letter, we respectfully request that you
reconsider your denial and approve the application. This request for reconsideration is submitted
pursuant to UDC § 1-7-10 and Idaho Code § 67-6535.
Iterra applied for annexation of 17.5 acres of land with TN-R zoning; a preliminary plat
with 61 residential lots on the northern portion(11.79 acres); and a 91 unit nursing and residential
care facility and commercial building on the southern portion (collectively, the "Development").
Staff recommended approval of the Development and, on June 15, 2021, the Meridian Planning
and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval. City Council reviewed the
Development on August 17, 2021. At the conclusion of that meeting, Council moved to continue
the hearing for one month for Iterra to consider certain feedback from Council. After the second
hearing on September 14, 2021, Council denied the application.
In its Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law (the "Findings"), adopted on October 12,
2021, Council found that the proposed development 1) was incompatible with the surrounding
neighborhood, 2) would result in additional traffic that would be detrimental to the surrounding
neighborhood, 3) would result in additional on-street parking that will be detrimental to the
surrounding neighborhood, and 4) was not in the best interest of the City. We respectfully assert
Page 7
Item#2.
October 25, 2021
Page 2
that these Findings do not reflect the submitted facts and applicable standards and ask you to
reconsider this decision.
1. The Development Is Compatible With The Surrounding Neighborhood.
This infill residential and mixed use development provides an ideal transition between the
more intense commercial and office uses to the east and south, and the larger single family
residences to the north and west. The north portion of the property is designated Medium Density
Residential on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM), which recommends 3-8 units per acre. Iterra
has proposed 4.7 units per acre, which is on the low end of the density the City has planned for
this location.
As discussed by Mayor Simison in his final remarks, this development provides for the
orderly development of Meridian, and the Development's "integration is spot on accurate."
Residential abuts residential; commercial abuts commercial. The Development achieves the City's
comprehensive planning goals by prioritizing infill development (2.02.02, 3.03.01E) in an area
where public services are readily available (3.03.03) in a safe, attractive and well-maintained
neighborhood that has ample open space and generous amenities (2.02.01).
The Development is also designed to seamlessly fit into the neighborhood and to minimize
its impact on the Woodbridge neighborhood to the west. Iterra proposes 5 foot side setbacks
between the homes (for a total of 10 feet between homes), although only 3 feet is required in the
TN-R zone. These side yard setbacks more closely match those of the Woodbridge neighborhood
to the west where side yard setbacks are 5-6 feet for a total of 10-12 feet between homes. In
addition, as requested by Council, Iterra increased the rear yard setback of the homes abutting
Woodbridge to 17 feet. Iterra also staggered this rear setback between 17 and 27 feet to avoid the
appearance of a solid wall of homes to the neighborhood to the west.
2. Additional Traffic And Parking Impacts Are Minimized on Surrounding
Neighborhoods.
Any development on the property will generate increased traffic to the neighborhood. The
traffic generated by this project is less than other more intense residential or commercial uses
contemplated by the comprehensive plan for this location.
At the request of Council,Iterra moved access to the Development to S.Wells Street,which
encourages traffic to turn away from the Woodbridge neighborhood and lessens the traffic impacts
within that neighborhood.
Iterra initially asked for and received alternative compliance from the Director to provide
32 of the required 244 parking spaces for the homes (4 per residence) on internal private street
bulb-outs. After receiving Council feedback at the first meeting, Iterra deepened the length of the
lots so that every home has a 2-car garage plus room for two cars to park in the driveway, and
alternative compliance was no longer necessary. With these changes, the proposed development
Page 8
Item#2.
October 25, 2021
Page 3
meets the parking requirements in City Code and also provides 21 spaces of overflow parking on
internal private streets.
Iterra also requested approval from ACHD to install"no parking" signs on E. Magic View
Drive and S. Wells Street, the two public streets fronting the Development, but this request was
denied.
Iterra has taken every step necessary to minimize traffic and parking concerns while still
developing a quality residential neighborhood, consistent with the City's comprehensive plan.
Iterra incorporated all parking and traffic recommendations from Council and, as demonstrated in
the steps they have taken, parking and traffic impacts to the surrounding neighborhoods from this
infill development are minimized.
3. Annexation Is In The Best Interest of Meridian.
The Development(i)complies with Meridian's comprehensive plan; (ii)complies with the
regulations for the proposed TN-R zone; (iii) is not materially detrimental to public health, safety
and welfare and, rather, adds a much needed memory care facility and residences to the area; (iv)
does not result in an adverse impact upon the delivery of services —police and fire have confirmed
that the Development is within their response times; and(v) is in the best interest of the City.
During the first public hearing, Council provided feedback to Iterra to consider in order to
gain approval. The feedback was memorialized in a letter dated September 7,2021 (the"Feedback
Letter") and included the following:
1. Committing to a 55+ age-restricted community by reducing the footprint of the
homes, deed restricting the homes, and/or limiting the houses to one story;
2. Providing larger rear setbacks to the existing properties in the Snorting Bull
Subdivision(Woodbridge)to the west;
3. Removing the access from E. Magic View Drive by providing another access to
South Wells Street; and
4. Moving the pool to a location further away from the homes.
Based on the Feedback Letter and as mentioned above, Iterra increased the rear setback
abutting development to the west;moved the access from E. Magic View Drive to S. Wells Street;
and moved the pool to a location further away from the homes. To lessen the impact on the
Woodbridge neighborhood, Iterra eliminated second floors on the back portion of the houses by
agreeing that no second floor would be closer than 27 feet to the rear property line, and by
staggering the rear setback of the homes between 17 and 27 feet.
As noted by the City Attorney, it is not legal to require a property to be age restricted.
Nonetheless, Iterra will market the homes as a 55-plus community. This Development will be

Page 4
marketed to a more affluent demographic who prefer the larger home sizes and extra bedrooms on
the second floor where they can be used as hobby and guest rooms. Given the gated community,
the smaller yards, and the types of amenities offered within the Development, Iterra's experience
in other communities is that these homes will be most desirable to an older demographic. Iterra
also welcomes families to the community, should they choose it.
Iterra agrees with those Councilmembers at the public hearings who voiced their opposition
to deed restrictions-in 20 to 30 years or more this housing type may be most desirable to families.
A deed restriction will limit the accessibility of homes to any future changing demographics within
Meridian.
Iterra is proposing a quality residential development in an area designated Medium Density
Residential on the FLUM, and a medical facility and office building in an area designated Mixed-
Use on the FLUM. This small infill project transitions the larger single family residential
development on the north and west with the more intense commercial uses on the south and east.
To the extent possible, all traffic and parking impacts are minimized and are less than could be
developed in this location consistent with the FLUM. The Development's impact on the
Woodbridge neighborhood is also minimized with increased home setbacks and relocated access.
For these reasons,the Development is in the best interests of Meridian and we respectfully
ask you to reconsider the denial. Specifically,upon reconsideration, Iterra requests the Council to:
(1) Approve the annexation and zoning as recommended by City Planning Staff and the
Planning and Zoning Commission; and
(2) Approve the preliminary plat as recommended by City Planning Staff and the
Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission; and
(3) Approve the conditional use permit for the assisted living and memory care facility,
as recommended the Planning and Zoning Commission.
In the alternative, Iterra requests the Council to provide specific feedback for changes to
this Development in order to gain approval.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.

III. STAFF ANALYSIS
The existing Development Agreement (DA) for the subject property requires the entire site to be
developed with commercial and office uses and incorporates two private roads through the
development; one north-south road and one east-west. In 2016, Council approved a DA Modification
for this site to change the internal roads from public roads to private streets. There are existing DA
provisions regarding the desired placement of buildings along Ustick and the desired integration of
pedestrian facilities throughout the site for safe pedestrian circulation that Staff finds imperative to keep
within the DA to assist in compliance with mixed-use policies and the desired site design.
Page 1
Page 30
Item#5.
The Applicant proposes to replace the existing DA with a new one for the purpose of incorporating a
new conceptual development plan. A multi-family development is proposed to develop on the north
half of the site consisting of approximately 60 apartment units,according to the submitted concept plan.
Per the submitted plan and conceptual elevations,the apartment units are proposed as townhome style
units in the form of two-story 3-plexes and 4-plexes with each unit having a front-loaded garage and
parking pad.In addition,the submitted conceptual development plan depicts the east-west street shown
on the existing concept plan as remaining but appears to be a public road—this east-west road connects
to Venable on the east boundary as the main access point for the site and also provides future
connectivity to the west should the adjacent property redevelop in the future. In addition, the public
street stubbed to the north property boundary is shown as terminating within the site as part of the multi-
family drive aisles instead of continuing through the site which concerns Staff (further analysis is
below). Therefore, no connection to Ustick is proposed either via public street or commercial drive
aisle with the new conceptual development plan. Furthermore, a rezone application has not been
submitted so the proposed multi-family use in the existing C-C zoning district will require conditional
use permit (CUP) approval. Staff would analyze specific development criteria and specific use
standards at the time of the CUP submittal.
Off-street parking would be required per the standards listed in UDC Table 11-3C-6 for multi-family
developments. Qualified open space would also be required, per the standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-
27C. Compliance with the specific use standards listed in UDC I1-4-3-27 for multi-family
developments is required and would be reviewed with the CUP application. Adjustments may be
necessary to the concept plan to comply with these standards and any ACHD required revisions.
The subject site is part of a Mixed-Use Community(MU-C)future land use area—this designation calls
for a mix of residential and commercial land uses that are thoughtfully integrated. One of the reasons
the Applicant has stated for requesting this DA Modification is the subject site has sat vacant in its
current configuration and entitlements for over a decade. Within this MU-C area, detached single-
family, apartments, office/retail, and Civic uses are existing and planned(future land use designations
are not parcel specific so an area of the baseball fields in Settlers Park are within this MU-C area).
There is existing multi-family directly south of the subject site on the south side of Ustick; additional
multi-family is approved at the southeast corner of the Venable and Ustick intersection. Directly to the
east is a relatively small office park with five (5)buildings and is the only commercial component in
this MU-C area.Because of the multi-family development on the south side of Ustick,this may be
the only area that could develop with neighborhood serving commercial uses.During the review
of the Summertown project (SEC of Venable and Ustick), staff did forego recommending a
commercial component as part of that project because this property was already zoned for
commercial and Staff was in favor of preserving this property for future commercial uses.
Although the proposed development would be a new type of residential in this area (townhome
style instead of traditional garden style walk-up apartments), the submitted concept plan lacks
many of the design concepts shown and outlined in the comprehensive plan for mixed-use areas.
In general,the future commercial area is being reduced while increasing the residential area and
its impact in this area of the City with little to no neighborhood serving commercial uses. At a
minimum, the following mixed-use policies are not met with the proposed plan whereas the
existing one does comply:
• Mixed use areas should be centered around spaces that are well-designed public and quasi-
public centers of activity. Spaces should be activated and incorporate permanent design
elements and amenities that foster a wide variety of interests ranging from leisure to play.These
areas should be thoughtfully integrated into the development and further placemaking
opportunities considered. Staff does not find the proposed concept plan meets this policy as
no integration of the residential and commercial areas are shown; no placemaking or
Page 2
Page 31
Item#5.
thoughtful integration of the mix of uses is present in the proposed concept plan especially
when compared to the existing commercial concept plan.
• Supportive and proportional public and/or quasi-public spaces and places including but not
limited to parks,plazas,outdoor gathering areas, open space, libraries,and schools that
comprise a minimum of 5%of the development area are required. Outdoor seating areas at
restaurants do not count towards this requirement.Based on the submitted conceptplan,
there are not enough details to show compliance with this plan. The proposed multi family
residential area appears to be isolated and no shared areas are shown, as noted in this
policy.
• All mixed use projects should be accessible to adjacent neighborhoods by both vehicles and
pedestrians. Pedestrian circulation should be convenient and interconnect different land use
types. Vehicle connectivity should not rely on arterial streets for neighborhood access.
Although the proposed concept plan does not require arterial streets for neighborhood
access, the plan would force residents from the north to drive through the multi family
development to get to the commercial which could force them to utilize Venable for ease of
access,further reducing accessibility for this mixed use area. Furthermore, there are
minimal pedestrian facilities shown on the proposed plan to connect the existing residential
and the proposed residential to the commercial along Ustick;it appears the intent is for
residents to use the multi family drive aisles which does notprovide adequate pedestrian
safety.
• A mixed use project should include at least three types of land uses. Exceptions may be
granted for smaller sites on a case-by-case basis. This land use is not intended for high
density residential development alone.As noted, not each mixed--use project is intended to
provide at least three types of land uses.However, with the existing and approved
development in this MU-C area, a vast majority of the area will be medium and high-
density residential which is not a desired outcome.Staff finds reducing the last remaining
area of undeveloped commercial area to incorporate more residential is in direct
contradiction to this policy.
Overall, Staff is concerned the proposed plan is more residentially focused, lacks integration
with the commercial area,and does not comply with the mixed-use policies in the comprehensive
plan.For the reasons and concerns noted,Staff is not supportive of the proposed DA modification
and has recommended denial of the request.
IV. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends denial of the modification to the DA as proposed by the Applicant and finds the
existing concept plan and DA provisions are better suited to address development of the subject
property.

This is a request to expand an existing wood products business by annexing 3.1 acres of property with
the I-L zoning district, and modifying the Medimont Development Agreement to create a new
development agreement to remove a requirement for an internal landscape buffer. This application
includes requests for two Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments. The first amendment is to change
the designation of the properties to be annexed from mixed use community to industrial to allow
zoning to I-L for the warehouse. The second map amendment involves the two properties to the south
at 381 and 385 S. Locust Grove Rd(not part of the development)being designated from mixed use
community to commercial to make them more consistent with the FLUM designations of surrounding
properties to the south and west.

V. STAFF ANALYSIS
Background
The applicant proposes to annex 3.1 acres of property(the subject property)at 255 and 335 S. Locust
Grove Rd. in order to construct a 59,300 sq. ft. +/-warehouse for their existing wood wholesale
distribution business. The existing business is to the west of the subject properties at 300 and 330 S.
Adkins Way. This request also includes a request for a development agreement modification and
comprehensive plan map amendments.
The existing wholesale and distribution business was constructed in 2003 and is within the Medimont
Subdivision(annexed in 1996). The Medimont DA has a requirement for a 20' planting strip along
the eastern boundary of the plat area(intended as a residential buffer). This puts the required planting
strip between the existing business and the properties intended for annexation and expansion.
Accordingly,the applicant proposes a DA modification to remove the requirement for the planting
strip in this area.
This application also includes a request for two comprehensive plan map amendments. The first
amendment is to change the designation of the 3.1 acres of property to be annexed from mixed use
community to industrial to allow zoning to I-L for the warehouse. The second map amendment
involves the two properties to the south(1.32 acres total)at 381 and 385 S. Locust Grove Rd(already
zoned C-C but not part of the existing business or expansion). Until recently this was the location of
the Tree House Learning Center daycare. These properties are also designated for mixed use
community but are directly adjacent to industrial designation to the west and commercial designation
to the south along W. Watertower St. and S. Locust Grove Rd. At the pre-application meeting, staff
informed the applicant that it was not preferable to pursue a land use map amendment that would
leave a small enclave of mixed-use community designation and encouraged the applicant to work
with the adjacent property owners to amend the map to commercial with the same application. There
will still be approximately 7.2 acres of property remaining along this side of S. Locust Grove Rd
designated for MU-C, staff is unsure how viable the remainder of this property will be for mixed use
community development,particularly the two residential properties directly north of the subject
property.
Annexation
The proposed annexation area is contiguous to City annexed property and is within the Area of
City Impact Boundary. To ensure the site develops as proposed by the applicant, staff is
recommending a new development agreement as part of the annexation approval.The applicant
has provided a new legal description of the property boundary subject to the new DA(see Exhibit
VIII below).
Page 5
Page 43
Item#6.
A. Future Land Use Map Designation(https://www.meridiancity.org/compplan)
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments
The area is presently designated for mixed use community under the future land use map
(FLUM). The purpose of this designation is to allocate areas where community-serving uses and
dwellings are seamlessly integrated into the urban fabric. The intent is to integrate a variety of
uses,including residential, and to avoid mainly single-use and strip commercial type buildings.
Non-residential buildings in these areas have a tendency to be larger than in Mixed Use
Neighborhood(MU-N)areas,but not as large as in Mixed Use Regional(MU-R)areas. Goods
and services in these areas tend to be of the variety that people will mainly travel by car to,but
also walk or bike to(up to three or four miles). Employment opportunities for those living in and
around the neighborhood are encouraged.
To the east of the subject property across S. Locust Grove Rd is single family attached
(Bellabrook Subdivision)and a religious institution. There are commercial and office uses to the
south,and directly adjacent to the west is a 27-acre industrial park. Adjacent to the north are two
existing single-family residences, and north of those is a 2.4-acre property zoned R-40 with an
existing development agreement for up to 95 multifamily units (Cobblestone Village AZ 99-005).
Given the existing development in the vicinity,the size of the remaining undeveloped properties,
and that UDC 11-3A-3 requires site circulation to occur from a local street(S.Adkins Way)
rather than an arterial(S. Locust Grove), staff does not believe the subject properties have the
accessibility and are viable for the integrated,walkable, synergistic development oriented around
open space that is anticipated by the Plan for mixed use community. Staff does believe a plan
amendment is appropriate to allow a change to industrial designation for the subject properties
and commercial designation for the properties to the south.
However, staff does have reservations with how the proposed development will interact with the
remaining properties to the north which would still be designated for Mixed Use Community. The
two properties directly north of the subject property are still in the County,the two properties
north of those are within the City and zoned R-15. Staff has concerns with whether the proposed
warehouse will limit future redevelopment in this area. Staff has not received any correspondence
from the owners of either of those properties.
B. Development Agreement Modification
The existing Intermountain Wood Products buildings are within the Medimont Development
Agreement,which was approved in 1997 (Inst. 97072405). Provision 4d requires a permanent 20-
foot-wide landscaped planning strip along the east boundary landscaped with 6-8-foot-high
scotch pines at a maximum distance of 15 ft. each. This was required to provide a screen for the
adjacent residential properties,two of which are now proposed for the warehouse expansion. This
proposal would create a new development agreement for the subject properties and would remove
this requirement.
At the time the Medimont No. 2 Final Plat was approved a common lot(Lot 2 Block 2)was
platted along the eastern perimeter of the subdivision for the purpose of this landscape screen.
This common lot was owned and maintained by the Stonebridge Owners Association. In February
of 2021 the portions of the common lot between the existing business and the parcels to be
annexed were deeded to the applicant.
As the intent of the landscape strip was to buffer the adjacent residential properties from the
industrial development, and the properties to be annexed are no longer proposed for residential,
staff supports elimination of the DA requirement in this area. However,Lot 2,Block 2 (the
common lot)was split improperly. This results in two common lots—a common lot strip north of
Page 6
Page 44
Item#6.
the subject properties, and a common lot strip south of the subject properties. Also, an
unbuildable common lot is now being converted to a buildable lot for a warehouse. This makes
the applicant ineligible for a parcel boundary adjustment and a short plat is necessary to
legitimize the subdivision. This will require cooperation with the Stonebridge Owners
Association that owns the remainder of the common lot. All the trees that were within this portion
of the buffer have been removed,which should be addressed. This is discussed in the landscaping
section.
C. Comprehensive Plan Policies(https://www.meridiancity.org/compplan):
• "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)
The subject property is surrounded by the City limits to the south, east and west. City water
and sewer service is available and can be extended by the developer of the property proposed
to be annexed with development in accord with UDC 11-3A-21.
• "Require all new development to create a site design compatible with surrounding uses
through buffering, screening,transitional densities,and other best site design practices."
(3.07.01A)
The proposed industrial use will be required to provide a landscaped buffer along property
lines adjacent to residential uses (i.e. to the north)with development per UDC Table 11-2C-
3. No outdoor storage is proposed with this development.
• "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land."
(3.07.00)
Staff does have concerns regarding the present concept plan as will be discussed in the
dimensional standards section below. Staff has red-marked on the concept plan that this plan
should not be approved and future development should comply with all pertinent regulations
and the Architectural Standards Manual.
In regard to the proposed use, with appropriate design the proposed warehouse should be
compatible with the existing industrial uses to the west and the commercial uses to the south.
The required buffer to residential land uses to the north should minimize conflicts between
land uses. However, staff does have concerns regarding how industrial development on the
subject property could affect future development potential for the properties to the north,
which will still have the Plan designation of mixed-use community.
• "Support infill development that does not negatively impact the abutting, existing
development. Infill projects in downtown should develop at higher densities,irrespective of
existing development."(2.02.02C)
The proposed infill industrial development should not negatively impact abutting uses as
other industrial uses exist to the west, commercial to the south, and a landscaped buffer is
required along the north property boundaries to residential uses which should minimize
conflicts.As noted in the Architecture Section below, the building architecture as submitted
should not be approved and the warehouse should meet all standards of the ASM at time of
Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC).
• "Ensure development is connected to City of Meridian water and sanitary sewer systems and
the extension to and through said developments are constructed in conformance with the City
of Meridian Water and Sewer System Master Plans in effect at the time of development."
Page 7
Page 45
Item#6.
(3.03.03A)
The proposed development will be required to connect to City water and sewer systems with
development.
• "Require urban infrastructure be provided for all new developments, including curb and gutter,
sidewalks,water and sewer utilities."(3.03.03G)
Curb, gutter and sidewalk has already been constructed along S. Locust Grove Rd and S.
Adkins Wy, and in their staff report dated September 13, 2021 ACHD noted no additional
road improvements were necessary. Hook-up to City water and sewer service is required with
development.
• Reduce the number of existing access points onto arterial streets by using methods such as
cross access agreements,access management, and frontage/backage roads, and promoting
local and collector street connectivity. (6.01.02B)
The concept plan indicates primary access, including for trucks, occurring directly from S.
Locust Grove, an arterial.Also, staff has recommended to the applicant that cross access be
provided to the properties to the north and south, although the concept plan does not reflect
this. Staff has addressed this in the conditions of approval. Existing Structures/Site
Improvements:
D. Proposed Use Analysis:
The applicant requests to annex and zone to I-L to allow a warehouse. This is an allowed use per
UDC 11-2C-2.
E. Specific Use Standards(UDC 11-4-3):
There are specific use standards for a warehouse use per UDC 11-4-3-42. This includes a
limitation on square footage of office and retail, and outdoor activity areas not being located
within 300 feet of an adjacent residence or residential district. The 4,800 sq. ft. office area is well
under the 25%limitation on office uses,but the concept plan reflects an outdoor loading area as
close as 100 feet from the adjacent residential property to the north.At the time of the certificate
of zoning compliance(CZC),the applicant will need to either move the loading bay to conform to
the regulation or fully enclose the loading bay.
F. Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2):
The I-L zoning district requires a 35 ft. street setback.A 25 ft. wide landscape buffer is required
along S. Locust Grove Rd.,which is the same width required for landscape buffers on any side
bordered by residential. Building height is limited to 50 ft. The site plan as submitted does
suggest the landscape buffer along S. Locust Grove Rd. is met,but the width of the residential
buffer to the north does not meet UDC standards.
The site and design standards of UDC 11-3A-19 state that for properties greater than two(2)
acres in size,no more than fifty(50)percent of the total off street parking area for the site shall be
located between building facades and abutting streets. The concept site plan as submitted shows
the entirety of the parking between the building and S. Locust Grove Rd.
UDC 11-3A-19 also requires an applicant to extend or improve streets,drive aisles, cross access
easements or similar vehicular and pedestrian connections provided from adjacent properties. The
concept plan as submitted does not provide access to the properties to the north and the south.As
a condition of approval of the development agreement, staff is recommending cross access to
these adjacent properties.
Page 8
Page 46
Item#6.
Staff does have concerns with the concept site plan as submitted because of the comments listed
above. Staff has additional concerns regarding the size and visibility of the proposed warehouse
as would be viewed from S. Locust Grove Rd.,and is unsure the building as shown would meet
all the requirements of the Architectural Standards Manual(ASM).Although staff is overall
supportive of annexation of the property for the purpose of the expansion, staff believes
additional revisions need to be made to the site plan in order to be consistent with the regulations.
Staff is not supportive of the concept plan as submitted.
G. Access(UDC 11-3A-3, 11-3H-4):
The existing business presently takes access from two driveways off of S. Adkins Way, a local
commercial street. The two properties to be annexed are currently both rural residential, each
with a driveway access from S. Locust Grove Rd.
S. Locust Grove Road is classified as an arterial roadway and is improved with 5-travel lanes,
bike lanes,vertical curb,gutter, and 7-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. The concept plan as
submitted shows access for this site occurring via a 40 ft. driveway directly from S. Locust Grove
Rd. The applicant has mentioned employee, customer and truck access could occur at this
driveway. ACHD has noted this proposal complies with all ACHD requirements. The Council
can grant a waiver to allow the access,but staff prefers the applicant develop the site plan with
internal circulation and send trucks through S. Adkins Way as previously discussed at the pre-
application meetings.
Staff has concerns with access occurring from S. Locust Grove Rd. UDC 11-3A-3 states where
access to a local street is available,the applicant shall reconfigure the site circulation plan to take
access from such local street. Also,where access to a local street is not available,the property
owner shall be required to grant cross-access/ingress-egress and extend or improve streets,drive
aisles, cross access easements or similar vehicular and pedestrian connections provided to
adjacent properties.
During the March 2021 Pre-Application meeting, it was mentioned to the applicant that the site
plan as submitted should be revised to remove primary access from S. Locust Grove, access
should be provided to the properties to the north and south, and it would be preferable for truck
access to occur via the existing driveway from S.Adkins Way. The concept plan as submitted
does not reflect any of these access points. As a condition of approval, staff recommends the
access from S. Locust Grove Rd be closed, and the site plan be revised to indicate access from the
north, south and west.
H. Parking(UDC 11-3C):
UDC 11-3C-6 requires one space for every 2,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area for industrial uses
(warehouse). Based on a 53,350 sq. ft. warehouse and 4,800 sq. ft. of office space this amounts
to 27 parking spaces required whereas 44 are provided. However, as mentioned above in the
dimensional standards section above,the parking configuration as shown on the site plan does not
comply with UDC 11-3A-19 in that all parking area is located between building facades and
abutting streets.
11-3C-5 requires all off street parking areas to be provided with a substantial wheel restraint to
prevent cars from encroaching upon abutting private and public property or overhanging beyond
the designated parking stall dimensions.When a bumper overhangs onto a sidewalk or landscape
area,the parking stall dimensions may be reduced two(2)feet in length if two(2)feet is added to
the width of the sidewalk or landscaped area planted in ground cover. The concept plan does not
appear to meet either of these requirements.
Page 9
Page 47
Item#6.
I. Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17):
8 ft. wide sidewalk exists along S. Locust Grove Rd. and sidewalk of at least 5 ft. exists along S.
Adkins Way.ACHD has submitted a staff report and does not request any additional sidewalk
improvements.
J. Landscaping(UDC 11-3B):
UDC Table 11-2C-3 requires a 25 ft. wide landscape buffer along arterial roads(S. Locust Grove
Rd), 10 ft. wide buffer along local road(S. Adkins Way), and 25 ft.wide landscape buffers when
sharing a property line with a residential use. There are also landscaping requirements(UDC 1I-
3B-8C) for parking lots,including not more than 12 parking spaces in a row without at least a 50
sq. ft.planter islands and a 5 ft. wide perimeter buffer adjacent to parking, loading or other
vehicular use areas.
A landscape buffers meeting the minimum dimensions will be required along S. Locust Grove
Rd. There is an existing landscape buffer along S. Adkins Way and the parking lot appears to
meet minimum requirements. The residential landscape buffer to the north of the site does not
appear to meet the minimum width of at least 25 ft. The properties to the south(381 and 385 S.
Locust Grove Rd) are not part of the current development and are subject to a separate
development agreement.
As mentioned in the DA modification section above,the existing Medimont Development
Agreement has a requirement for a permanent 20 ft.wide planting strip along the eastern
boundary of the subdivision,planted with 6-8 ft. high pines at no less than 15 ft. apart. When staff
initially did the site visit for the pre-application meeting, staff discovered all trees that had been in
this required planting strip between the existing business and the properties to be annexed had
been cut down. Staff mentioned to the applicant these trees were a requirement of the final plat
and DA and could not be removed without a DA modification. Staff requested the applicant
account for all trees that had removed, and the applicant responded 11 trees had been removed in
this area ranging in diameter from 11.5 in. to 20 in.to a total of 169 inches. As these trees were a
requirement of the DA, staff recommends a condition that the applicant shall coordinate with the
City Arborist to ensure an additional 169 caliper inches of trees meeting the minimum 6-foot
height requirement be planted on the property in excess of other minimum landscaping
requirements.
K. Waterways(UDC la-MA ft
There are no waterways known to traverse the property. There is an ACHD detention pond on
another property approximately 500 feet to the north.
L. Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
The existing business has chain link fencing along the sides and rear of the facility. The
properties to be annexed currently have, 3-strand wire,chain link and open split rail fencing. The
concept site plan does indicate some of the existing fencing along the side property lines will
remain. At time of CZC,the applicant will be required to submit a landscape plan that reflects all
fencing meets the provisions of UDC 11-3A-7. This includes screening of any outdoor storage as
required by UDC 11-3A-14.
M. Utilities (UDC 11-3A-21):
Connection to City water and sewer services is proposed in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. Street
lighting is required to be installed in accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and
ordinances. See Section VI below for Public Works comments/conditions.
Page 10
Page 48
Item#6.
N. Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual):
Conceptual elevations have been provided with this submittal. The elevations do not meet the
minimum requirements of the ASM. This includes nearly the entirety of the building materials
being metal siding,lack of accents of at least 30%along the base of the building, fagade sections
longer than 50 ft. without modulation,rooflines longer than 50 ft. without roofline or parapet
variations, and possibly not meeting the 30%fenestration requirement or fenestration alternatives.
Staff recommends the conceptual elevations not be approved. Also,due to visibility of this
property from S. Locust Grove Rd and that it is surrounded on three sides by commercial and
residential development, staff recommends a DA provision that requires architecture comply with
the commercial,not industrial standards.
VI. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment to the Future Land Use Map,DA
modification and Annexation with the requirement of a Development Agreement per the
provisions in Section IX in accord with the Findings in Section X.
B. The Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission heard this item on October 7. 2021.At the public

IX. FINDINGS
A. Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment
Upon recommendation from the Commission,the Council shall make a full investigation
and shall, at the public hearing, review the application. In order to grant an amendment to
the Comprehensive Plan, the Council shall make the following findings:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the other elements of the Comprehensive
Plan.
Commission finds the proposed amendment from Mixed-Use Community to 3.1 acres of
Industrial for 225 and 335 S. Locust Grove Rd. and 1.32 acres of Commercial for 381 and
385 S. Locust Grove Rd. is compatible with adjacent industrial uses in the area and is
consistent with the goals and policies in the Comprehensive Plan as noted in Section V.
2. The proposed amendment provides an improved guide to future growth and
development of the city.
As the adjacent development pattern is industrial to the west and commercial to the south,
Commission finds that the proposal to change the FL UM designation from Mixed Use—
Community to Industrial and Commercial will provide an improved guide to future growth
and development in this area and will be compatible with adjacent industrial uses.
3. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with the Goals,Objectives and
Policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
Commission finds that the proposed amendment is consistent with the Goals, Objectives, and
Policies of the Comprehensive Plan as noted in Section V.
4. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Unified Development Code.
Commission finds that the proposed amendment is consistent with the Unified Development
Code.

standards, Commission finds the proposed amendments to Industrial and Commercial will be
compatible with other existing industrial and commercial uses in the area.
6. The proposed amendment will not burden existing and planned service capabilities.
Commission finds that the proposed amendment will not burden existing and planned service
capabilities in this portion of the city. Sewer and water services are available to be extended
to this site.
7. The proposed map amendment(as applicable)provides a logical juxtaposition of uses
that allows sufficient area to mitigate any anticipated impact associated with the
development of the area.

Item#6.
B. Annexation and/or Rezone(UDC 11-513-3E)
Required Findings: Upon recommendation from the commission,the council shall make a full
investigation and shall, at the public hearing,review the application. In order to grant an
annexation and/or rezone,the council shall make the following findings:
1. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive
plan;
The Applicant is proposing to annex the subject property with I-L zoning and develop industrial
uses on the property. Although the FLUM presently designates the areas for mixed use
community,for the reasons listed in the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment section above
stafffinds industrial use is appropriate in this area and supports a plan map amendment.
2. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district,
specifically the purpose statement;
Commission finds the proposed map amendment to I-L generally complies with the purpose
statement of the I-L district in that it will encourage industrial uses that are clean, quiet and
free of hazardous or objectionable elements and that are operated entirely or almost entirely
within enclosed structures and is accessible to an arterial street(i.e. S. Locust Grove Rd.).
3. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health,safety,
and welfare;
Commission finds the proposed map amendment should not be detrimental to the public
health, safety and welfare as the proposed industrial use should be conducted entirely within
a structure.
4. The map amendment shall not result in an adverse impact upon the delivery of services
by any political subdivision providing public services within the city including,but not
limited to, school districts; and
Commission finds City services are available to be provided to this development.
5. The annexation(as applicable)is in the best interest of city.
Commission finds the proposed annexation is in the best interest of the City, if the applicant
enters into a new development agreement and adheres to the DA provisions above.
