V. STAFF ANALYSIS
This is a proposal to rezone from C-G to I-L to allow outdoor RV, boat and vehicle storage. A
development agreement modification is also proposed with this application.
The subject property consists of three lots located at 3425 W. Nelis Dr., and 3302 and 3386 N. Burley
Ave., northwest of the W. Ustick Rd. / N. Ten Mile Rd. intersection. The subject property is zoned
General Retail and Service Commercial (C-G) and is 5.65 acres in area. The property is bordered on
the east by a drive-through coffee shop, pawn shop and associated retail uses. There is a tire shop
directly to the south. There is an Idaho Power Sub-Station and industrial uses across W. Nelis Dr. to
the north.
The property was originally annexed in 2004 as part of the McNelis Subdivision (Inst. #104093293).
In 2011, the subject property was part of a larger rezoning, comprehensive plan amendment and DA
modification (CPAM-10-002, RZ-11-001, MDA-11-002, Instr. # 112054621). This DA Mod included
a conceptual site plan for the entire McNelis Subdivision which included building locations,
maximum square footages and parking.
There have been several recent pre-applications on this property, including self-storage and vehicle
repair. In August of 2021, staff held a pre-application meeting with the applicant to discuss the
possibility of constructing a covered RV and boat storage facility. Staff informed the applicant that
the C-G zoning district allowed indoor storage by conditional use, but outdoor storage was not
allowed as a principally-permitted use; it could only be accessory to the indoor storage. Staff also
mentioned the site plan as proposed was significantly different than what is approved under the
existing DA. As a result of this meeting, the applicant requests to rezone to I-L to allow outdoor
storage as a principally permitted use and for approval of the revised site plan as a DA modification.
A. Development Agreement Modification
The property is within the McNelis Subdivision, which is governed by DA Instr. #104093293 and
DA Modification Instr. #112054621. The DA allows a broad range of commercial and light
industrial uses and contains conceptual site plans for the subdivision. The approved concept plan
reflects a building layout characteristic of commercial and office buildings, whereas the applicant
proposes a RV and boat storage site layout. As the concept plan submitted by the applicant is a
significant change from what is approved, the applicant also requests the DA be modified to
include the revised concept plan. The concept plan has been updated to reflect the storage facility,
how build-out has already occurred within the McNelis Subdivision, and retains the approved
building footprints of areas which have yet to build out.

B. Future Land Use Map Designation (https://www.meridiancity.org/compplan)
Mixed Use Non-Residential - The purpose of this 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. Sample uses, appropriate in MU-NR areas
would include: employment centers, professional offices, flex buildings, warehousing, industry,
storage facilities and retail, and other appropriate non-residential uses.
The subject site is zoned General Retail and Service Commercial District (C-G). This allows a
broad range of commercial uses. The property is bordered by a drive-through coffee shop, pawn
shop and associated retail uses to the east. There is a tire shop directly to the south. There is an
Idaho Power Sub-Station and associated industrial uses across W. Nelis Dr. to the north.
Rezoning to I-L to allow outdoor RV and boat storage would be consistent with the Mixed-Use
Non-Residential designation for this area, subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-
4-3-33.
C. Zoning
The applicant proposes to rezone from C-G to I-L to allow RV and Boat Storage. This is a
principally-permitted use in the I-L zoning district in conformance with the FLUM subject to the
specific use standards as listed below.
D. Comprehensive Plan Policies (https://www.meridiancity.org/compplan):
• “Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time
of final approval and development is contiguous to the City.” (3.01.01F)
City services are available and will be extended by the developer to the proposed lots upon
development of the site in accord with UDC 11-3A-21.
• “Require all commercial and industrial businesses to install and maintain landscaping.”
(2.01.03B)
Landscape buffers and parking lot landscaping is required to be provided with development
of this property in accord with UDC 11-3B-8C. As mentioned in the specific use standards
section below, staff is also recommending additional perimeter landscaping.
• Maintain integrity of neighborhoods to preserve values and ambiance of areas (3.05.02).
If the applicant complies with the design guidelines outlined in the ASM, UDC design
standards and specific use standards, staff is of the opinion the proposed use should maintain
the integrity of the neighborhood.
• Restrict private curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets (3.06.02D).
One access is being proposed from W. McNelis Dr. / N. Burley Ave. and an emergency access
is shown out to N. Ten Mile Rd. via an internal easement across the property to the east. No
other access is proposed or approved with the subject application.
• Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation corridors (setback, vegetation,
low walls, berms, etc.) (3.06.02F).
The subject property abuts W. McNelis Dr. / N. Burley Ave. (local road). The UDC requires a
minimum 10-foot landscape buffer along local roads. Although there is a partial buffer
existing along this road, the concept plan indicates a 35 ft. wide buffer. This will be reviewed
in detail at time of certificate of zoning compliance in accord with UDC 11-3B-7C.
Page 6
• Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the Impact Area (3.05.01J).
This is an area of Meridian characterized by industrial and commercial uses. A RV and boat
storage facility is appropriate in this location.
• Ensure development provides safe routes and access to schools, parks and other community
gathering places (3.07.02N).
Five-foot wide attached sidewalks currently exist along W. McNelis Dr. / N. Burley Ave. in
accord with UDC 11-3A-17.
E. Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
The property is presently vacant.
F. Proposed Use Analysis:
The proposed use is defined as “Storage Facility, Outside” in the Unified Development Code
(UDC) and is a principally permitted use in the I-L zoning district per UDC Table 11-2C-2.
Outdoor storage facilities are also governed by specific use standards in UDC 11-4-3-33.
The proposed development will be approximately 51,483 sq. ft. in area and consist of four three-
sided buildings lining the perimeter (part of building 4 will contain a small office) and six canopy
structures internal to the development. The perimeter buildings will be constructed first, with the
canopies as a second phase.
The subject property is internal to the McNelis Subdivision and is bordered by an Idaho Power
Substation, fire truck certification building, beverage distribution facility, church, and wastewater
treatment plant to the north and northwest (all zoned I-L), a drive through-coffee shop, pawn
shop, auto parts dealer and liquor store directly to the east (which are zoned C-G and front onto
N. Ten Mile Rd.) and a gas station and automobile repair shop directly to the south (also fronting
N. Ten Mile Rd. and zoned C-G), with vacant C-G land directly across N. Burley Ave. As this
subject property is internal to the McNelis Subdivision with no direct street frontage with N. Ten
Mile Rd., has limited visibility, and is surrounded by industrial and service-commercial, staff
believes this is an appropriate location for adequately-screened outdoor storage verses prime
commercial frontage with direct access. All buildings require Certificate of Zoning Compliance
(CZC) and Design Review and Staff will use these additional applications as a chance to ensure
the site develops according to the conditions of approval in this staff report.
G. Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3):
UDC 11-4-3-33 lists the specific use standards for outside storage facilities. These include
maintaining the storage in an orderly manner, not blocking sidewalks or parking areas, and not
using the facility for a “junk yard” or for storing flammable materials. For properties that are
adjacent to nonindustrial properties and/or public streets, outdoor storage of materials, equipment,
inventory, and/or supplies shall be incorporated into the overall design of buildings and site
landscaping so that the visual impacts of these functions are fully contained and screened from
view of adjacent nonindustrial properties and/or public streets by a solid fence and/or wall with a
minimum height of six (6) feet.
The applicant’s narrative states this facility is for the purpose of RV and boat storage. The site
plan and architectural elevations indicate all storage is internal to the site, with three-sided
buildings serving as the screening. The property abuts adjacent nonindustrial uses to the east, and
it appears there is an existing landscape buffer with trees along the W. McNelis Dr. / N. Burley
Ave. frontage.
Page 7
H. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
The I-L zone district requires a 35 ft. street setback, 10 ft. landscape buffer along local roads, and
allows building heights of up to 50 ft. Based on the site plan, it does appear the 10 ft. wide
landscape buffer and 35 ft. setback is satisfied, although a more detailed review will occur at the
time of the Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC).
The property is comprised of three different lots, and it appears the proposed buildings straddle
internal lot lines. As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to complete a parcel
boundary adjustment to merge all lots into one property.
I. Access (UDC 11-3A-3, 11-3H-4):
The site plan indicates one access from W. McNelis Dr. / N. Burley Ave. and a secondary access
to N. Ten Mile Rd. at the east via an internal easement. Although staff does support this second
point of access, staff recommends it be clarified as a condition that the N. Ten Mile Rd. access be
for emergency access. Staff has concerns with RVs and trucks pulling trailers turning onto N. Ten
Mile Rd. at this location rather than the controlled intersection at N. Ten Mile Rd. and W Ustick
Rd.
J. Parking (UDC 11-3C):
UDC 11-3C-6 states in all industrial districts self-service storage facilities shall only require
parking based on the gross floor area of the office space. With the office being shown at 500 sq.
ft., only one parking space would be required whereas at least 5 parking stalls are provided
adjacent to the office. Also, all drive aisles are at least 40 ft. in width which allows for parking
near individual storage spaces. The site plan indicates bicycle parking adjacent to the office,
although the number of spaces is not indicated (only one would be required).
K. Pathways ( UDC 11-3A-8):
No pathways are shown on the master pathways plan for this site or provided with this
development.
L. Sidewalks (UDC 11-3A-17):
There are already 5 ft. wide attached sidewalks along W. Nelis Dr.r / N. Burley Ave.
M. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B):
A landscape plan is not required with a rezone. However, the concept plan reflects a 35 ft. wide
landscape buffer along W. McNelis Dr./ N. Burley Ave. At time of Certificate of Zoning
Compliance, the site will be required to meet the provisions for parking lot landscaping which
would include a five -foot wide minimum landscape buffer adjacent to the drive aisles (entry and
exit) at the east and west sides of the property and at either side of the parking lot end-caps.
As mentioned above, the subject property is surrounded by a broad range of commercial and
industrial uses, with established residential across N. Ten Mile Rd. to the east, and will be highly
visible from W. Nelis Dr. / N. Burley Ave. In order to soften the impacts of this storage facility
on adjacent existing and future development, Staff is also recommending that in addition to the
required landscape buffer along the road frontage and internal parking lot landscaping, there
should be a five -foot wide minimum landscape buffer meeting the requirements of UDC 11-3B-
8C along the entire perimeter of the property, and at least two trees planted in the “open area” at
the northern tip of the property.
Page 8
N. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
The submitted perspective suggests wrought iron style fencing at the entry gate along the entry
gate and front entrance.
O. Utilities (UDC 11-3A-21):
Water and sewer mains exist in W. Nelis Dr. / N. Burley Ave. According to Public Works, there
are nine (9) existing water stubs that will either need to be used or abandoned. Given the nature of
the use, little water and sewer service is necessary except for within the 500 sq. ft. office. Public
Works will require any unused mains not serving the proposed development to be abandoned
back to the mains in McNelis Dr. and Burley Ave.
Staff believes there may be easements that encumber the property that may need to be vacated,
although the one indicated on the McNelis Final Plat is a pressure irrigation easement bisecting
the property east to west approximately through the middle. At time of the property boundary
adjustment (see the dimensional standards section above), all existing easements shall be
identified on the plat and whether they will be retained or vacated.
P. Building Elevations (UDC 11-3A-19 | Architectural Standards Manual):
The applicant has submitted building elevations. The elevations reflect elongated storage
buildings, one of which will be approximately 600 ft. long fronting W. McNelis Dr / N. Burley
Dr. and providing screening for the RV / boat storage internal to the development. There are also
at least six canopy buildings internal to the development.
The west elevations (the ones directly fronting the street) overall do contain a variety of material
and colors that are above average in level of design. However, the elevations as proposed
probably do not meet the minimum requirements of the Architectural Standards Manual (ASM).
The elevations propose a significant amount of metal paneling, whereas the ASM prohibits metal
paneling as a field material unless there are at least two other qualifying materials. There are
requirements for fenestration (windows) or fenestration alternatives, whereas this does not appear
to be met. There are requirements for at least two pedestrian scale architectural features and a
combination of concrete, masonry, stone, or unique variation of color, texture, or material, at least
10-inches in height, around the base of the building. Complete review of the proposed elevations
against the ASM will occur at time of Certificate of Zoning Compliance, but due to the visibility
of the site, and that it will be within an area of both commercial and light industrial uses, as a DA
provision, staff recommends architecture meet the commercial requirements of the ASM.
VI. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rezoning and development agreement modification
with the conditions noted in Section VIII. per the Findings in Section IX.
