V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (Comp. Plan)
This property is designated Mixed Use—Non-Residential(MU-NR)on the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM)in the Comprehensive Plan.
The purpose of the MU-NR designation is to designate areas where new residential dwellings will not
be permitted,as residential uses are not compatible with the planned and/or existing uses in these
areas. For example,MU-NR areas are used near the City's Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility
and where there are heavy industrial or other hazardous operations that need to be buffered from
residential. Developments are encouraged to be designed similar to the conceptual MU-NR plan
depicted in Figure 3E in the Comprehensive Plan(see page 3-18).
The Applicant proposes to develop the site with an indoor recreation facility(i.e. swim school).
Because the use is non-residential adjacent to office and flex space uses and is located
approximately 570 feet from industrial uses to the north, it should be an appropriate use in the
MU-NR FLUM designation.
hi reviewing development applications,the following items will be considered in MU-NR areas:
(Staffs analysis in italics)
• No new residential uses will be permitted(existing residential may remain).No residential
uses are proposed.
• All developments should have a mix of at least two types of land uses.At L I-acres, the
size of the subject property is too small to allow the development of two land use types.
The overall MU-NR designated area will have a mix of uses; offices,flex space and a
church exist to the north and northwest of this site within the MU-NR area.
• Development is not required to comply with the minimum number of uses in the general
mixed-use standards.Noted.
• Street sections consistent with the Ada County Highway District Master Street Map are
required within the Unified Development Code.No new streets are proposed.
Page 3
Item 1. 10
• There is neither a minimum nor maximum imposed on non-retail commercial uses such as
office, food service/restaurants,industry, or warehouse uses.Noted.
• A transitional use is encouraged on the perimeter of the MU-NR areas between any
existing or planned residential development.Although this site is on the east perimeter
boundary of the MU-NR area, no residential uses exist or are planned to the east.
The following goals and policies in the Comprehensive Plan are supported by the proposed
development:
• "Plan for an appropriate mix of land uses that ensures connectivity, livability, and
economic vitality."(3.06.02)
The proposed use will contribute to the mix of uses in this area that ensure livability and
economic vitality of the community.
• "Encourage and support mixed-use areas that provide the benefits of being able to live,
shop, dine,play, and work in close proximity,thereby reducing vehicle trips,and
enhancing overall livability and sustainability."(3.06.02B)
The subject mixed-use area currently contains office and church uses and will eventually
include other non-residential uses. The proposed use will provide a service in close
proximity to residential neighbors to the west.
• "Provide,partner, and preserve public and private indoor and outdoor recreation amenities
for a diverse range of physical activities."(5.01.01 C)
The proposed private recreation facility offering swim lessons to the public will contribute
to the range ofphysical activities offered in the City.
VI. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE UD
The proposed use,an indoor recreation facility, is listed as a conditional use in the I-L(Light
Industrial)zoning district per UDC Table 11-2C-2. Compliance with the dimensional standards listed
in UDC Table 11-2C-3 is required.
VII. STAFF ANALYSIS
As discussed above in Section V,the proposed swim school is considered an appropriate use and
meets the development guidelines listed for the MU-NR designation. The use is also consistent with
the Planned Unit Development approved in 1991 for Gemtone Inc.,which approved a mix of
commercial and light industrial uses in the I-L zoning district.
The proposed building for the swim school will be one-story tall and approximately 8,788 square feet
(s.f.). A covered patio with a seating area is proposed on the west side of the building.
The proposed use is subject to the following Specific Use Standards(UDC 11-4-3-2) -Arts,
Entertainment or Recreation Facility,Indoors and Outdoors: (Staff analysis in italics)
A. General Standards:
1. All outdoor recreation areas and structures that are not fully enclosed shall maintain a
minimum setback of one hundred feet(100') from any abutting residential districts. The
playing areas of golf courses, including golf tees, fairways, and greens, are an exception
to this standard. (Ord. 07-1325, 7-10-2007).No outdoor recreation areas are proposed;
all activities will take place within the structure.
Page 4
Item 1. F111
2. No outdoor event or activity center shall be located within fifty feet(50')of any property
line and shall operate only between the hours of six o'clock(6:00)A.M. and eleven
o'clock(11:00)P.M.No outdoor events or activities are proposed.
3. Accessory uses including,but not limited to,retail, equipment rental,restaurant, and

B. Additional Standards for Swimming Pools: Any outdoor swimming pool shall be completely
enclosed within a six foot(6)non-scalable fence that meets the requirements of the building
code in accord with title 10, chapter 1, of this code.An indoor swimming pool is proposed;
therefore, this standard is not applicable.
C. Additional Standards for Outdoor Stage or Musical Venue: Any use with a capacity of one
hundred(100) seats or more or within one thousand feet(1,000')of a residence or a
residential district shall be subject to approval of a conditional use permit. (Ord. 05-1170, 8-
30-2005, eff. 9-15-2005). No outdoor stage or musical venue is proposed.
Access(UDC 11-3A-31:
Two(2) driveway accesses are depicted on the site plan—one(1)via E. State Ave. and one(1)via N.
Rosario St.,both existing local streets. ACHD has approved the location of both access driveways.
Because local street access is available to this site and adjoining properties and a cross-access
easement was not provided to this property with development of the property to the west(A-2021-
0021 Hickory Flex Building), Staff is not recommending cross-access easements are required to
adjoining properties.
Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17):
There are existing 5-foot wide attached sidewalks along E. State Ave. and N. Rosario St. that meet
UDC standards. Any damaged curb, gutter or sidewalk is required to be replaced by ACHD.
A 5-foot wide continuous internal pedestrian walkway is required to be provided from the
perimeter sidewalk to the main building entrance(s); the walkway should be distinguished from
the vehicular driving surfaces through the use of pavers,colored or scored concrete, or bricks
as set forth in UDC 11-3A-19B.4. The plans should be revised to reflect compliance with this
standard.
Parking(UDC 11-3C):
Based on 8,788 s.f. of gross floor area, a minimum of 17 off-street parking spaces are required. A
total of 48 parking spaces are proposed, exceeding UDC standards. Based on 48 parking spaces
provided, a minimum of one(1)bicycle parking space is required to be provided. Bicycle parking
facilities should be designed in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-5C.A detail
demonstrating compliance with these standards should be included on the plans.
Landscaping(UDC 11-3B):
A 10-foot wide street buffer is required to be provided along E. State Ave. and N. Rosario St.,both
local streets, landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. Shrubs should be added within
the street buffers in accord with UDC 11-3B-7C.3a.
There are no residential uses abutting this site that require buffering.
Parking lot landscaping is required per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-8C. Staff recommends
adding a tree within the planter area where the two rows of parking converge at the southeast
corner of the site.
Page 5
