I would think so. I don't think I can turn it around on time. What would be our deadline for the next hearing?
Thank you,

Good morning Alan,
It sounds like the owner would like to explore enclosed storage and go the CUP route and stay with the C-G
zoning.
Thank you,
Steve

Steve, there is no alternative compliance process for setbacks. Here is the table that shows what is eligible.
https://library.municode.com/id/meridian/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT11UNDECO_CH5AD_ARTBSPPR_11-
5B-5ALCO
He has the option of staying C-G and going through a conditional use, but this allows self-storage and outdoor storage
only as incidental to the self-storage.
I guess there is the option for a variance, but I don’t know how you would be able to make a finding that the variance is
not as a result of a self-created hardship that deprives him from enjoying the property in the same method as the
neighbors.

Good morning Alan,
The owner has asked if we can do some sort of alternate compliance to offset the 35' setback?(e.g. enhanced
architectural elements or landscaping) They would like to stick with the original site plan if possible.
Thank you,
Steve

The parking would be internal and shed 4 will act as a screen. We will present this new site plan to the owner
and get his thoughts. I will let you know as soon as I know something.

Steve, thanks for the site plan update.
In regard to the RVs, this depends on whether the RVs are internal to the complex and completely screened from the
outside. If Shed 4 along the western perimeter screens the RVS, you should be fine.

Good afternoon Alan,
I still haven't got a definitive answer from the owner, but here is the concept with the 35' setback. Let me
know what you think. Would uncovered parking be allowed in voids to the north of canopies A, D and E. I was
thinking of 10 x 30 striped spaces to make up for some of the lost units. We would still maintain proper drive
aisles.
Thank you,
Steve

The definition of accessory use says:
“Accessory use, nonresidential. A use or activity that is incidental and secondary to the principal use and is conducted
upon the same property.”
Not sure if I could give you an actual percentage. This means the self-storage would have to be the primary use, with
more square footage than the outdoor RV storage.
If you are not going to rezone to I-L, let me know soon because we’ll have to continue and re-notice for a different
hearing.

Good morning Alan,
We will take a look at this redesign with the 35' setback from the back of the sidewalk. Do you have a ratio of
enclosed to open storge we would need to be at if we did not rezone to I-L.
Thank you,
Steve

Steve, I talked to Bill about this.
W. Nelis Dr / N. Burley Ave is a completed template. This means the 35’ setback should be measured from the back of
sidewalk.
We can still go to hearing, but understand there will likely be a redesign along with the CZC as I do not think you meet
the setbacks.

Steve, we might have an issue.
You are proposing to rezone to I-L. This is because I-L and I-H allow outdoor storage as a principally permitted use,
otherwise, it can only be allowed in C-G as an accessory use to indoor storage and is required to go through conditional
use permit.
The I-L zoning district requires a 35’ street setback from ultimate right-of-way (look at Footnote Number One at the
bottom of table 11-2C-3.)
W. Nelis Dr / N. Burley Ave is shown as a local road, which has a ultimate right of way of 47 feet (based on their technical
manual). This means from centerline you would measure 23.5 feet, and the setback would be measured 35’ from that.
Based on your site plan, I’m not sure you meet this. This may be a pretty big issue if you cannot provide me information
that the design as shown meets this setback.
