report.
Dodson: Thank you, Mr. Chair, Members of the Commission. I'm not sure if you want
me to go into much detail with the existing -- or I should say the plan, considering we have
seen this before. I guess just quickly, the site is about 8.8 acres of land, currently zoned
RUT. It's located at the southeast corner of Linder and Ustick. The applications before
you tonight are annexation, zoning, preliminary plat and a conditional use permit. A
private street application was also submitted with the application, but that is administrative

approval from the director/staff. At the previous hearing the Commission continued the
project for the following reasons: To create a better solution to the transition between the
proposed multi-family building and the neighborhood to the east. I guess for reference
this is the previous site plan. Secondly, to modify the attached units along the east
boundary of the site to be front loaded, instead of facing the east. And also to revise the
plat to match any changes to the overall conceptual site plan and there were some other
nuanced discussions that occurred and even some specifics, but I don't want to go into
too much detail right now. Following the Commission hearing in December the applicant
sent me revised plans last week, to which I wrote a staff -- or a staff memo to the
Commission, dated January 14th. So, I hope you all were able to read that. That has
much more of the detail in it and outlines the specific conditions and provisions that I
recommended revising based on the new site plan, which is this one. So, quickly, the
changes that they made was along the east boundary they changed the design of these
to be front loaded. So, they are just matching the required setbacks on the east side,
which in an R-15 zone is a 12 foot rear setback. On the revised plan they are showing
that the buildings are approximately 18 and a half feet from the rear property line, though
that's not a setback, it's just where the building is. They added the required covered
parking here. They removed this cut through area between the commercial and the multi-
family, because there was a point of discussion regarding some issues there. They also
changed the multi-family units here. They are no longer four stories, they are proposed
three story units and they removed the end unit altogether, rather than just stepping it
down to two stories. So, now this gap is approximately 44 feet between the fence line
and the building. The -- I have some revised elevations of those three story units as well.
They also moved the dog park from the southeast area of the site to the southwest area
of the site to be further away and part of the larger open space area. They also removed
one of the townhome lots on the west side here. It used to be six. They removed one in
order to pull it out of the floodway and, then, also include a new drive aisle here to connect
a private street with the entrance off of Linder. This is not something that was necessarily
discussed, but in the grand conversation of cut through traffic and making sure residents,
as well as commercial, have specific areas to go, I believe that's why the applicant
proposed that. It is not required by code, but as I noted in my memo, Commission can
agree or disagree and the -- the proposed provision for that is open ended. So, it will
work either way. They also added a ten foot multi-use pathway here, which was
discussed by Mr. Chair as -- to connect to the other segment of it and, lastly, they made
this lot match the minimum lot size requirements. So, they covered most of what was
discussed at the previous Commission hearing and if there are any questions I will stand
for those now.
Seal: Okay. Would the applicant like to come forward? Good evening. Please state
your name and address for the record.
A.Wheeler: Andrew Wheeler. 2923 North Arthur Circle, Boise, Idaho. 83703. And, Mr.
Chair, Members of the Commission, thank you again for taking a second look at this
property and this proposal. Joe, do I have control of --
Dodson: Yeah. But I got to find your presentation.

A.Wheeler: So, as Joe was saying on our previous hearing, it was concluded that the --
we were about 90 percent there. Everyone liked the site plan. It needed a little bit of
tweaking, a little massaging to get it over that hump and overcome a couple of hurdles
and some objections that were brought up which were -- were valid and we feel that we
have addressed each and come up with a solution that solves those problems and
provides more housing for the City of Meridian in a comprehensive way in the mixed use
community zone. So, as Joe was saying, a couple of the edits that were -- the factors
that were brought up as issues were primarily centered around traffic and circulation and
building height and privacy. So, to address the circulation -- and we can point to the slide
when I get there in a minute, but the access -- commingling circulation of the residents
through the commercial was a primary concern and so providing that 20 foot private drive
will allow residents to go directly to Linder without ever having to circulate through the
commercial and as well as -- here we go. Okay. The little screen on there. Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. Well, we will roll with this. So, this is a -- the view of coming into the property from
the west and we will get more into the renderings. So, let's look at -- just to familiarize
everyone with the existing conditions, which I don't want to spend too much time on this,
but, you know, this image shows the intricate connection or network of local streets which
provide multiple access points onto Linder and Ustick. A couple challenges with the site
with the Kellogg drain, the floodway, the arterial streets and getting access onto those
and onto there, bringing in the connection of the local streets and the existing single family
on the east. Those are the primary concerns with the site and challenges to design within.
A few images looking north on Linder. This is looking southeast to the Creason Lateral
and the Five Mile Drain. The Creason Lateral. I'm going to kind of flip through here just
quickly. This is the existing single family development to the east. Joe, is there a way to
remove that red? Oh, it's just on this, so -- never mind. Okay. Here is a view looking at
-- off of Pebblestone looking west and, then, the northeast corner, the existing single
family and the height differential with -- differential, which we will get into a little bit later.
There are three zones of-- the commercial in the upper left, multi-family in the upper right
and, then, residential in the main part in the bottom and this graph shows the -- or image
shows the rerouting of the Kellogg Drain underground and the floodway in the southeast
-- southwest corner. The public road that is coming through the site, that's a requirement
of ACHD, and all of the roads would be private. So, we can talk on the site plan here for
a minute. In addressing the traffic and circulation -- so, we provided that 20 foot drive to
allow residents -- residents to have direct access onto Linder and not have to circulate
through the commercial space. We do have signage on there to -- to dissuade
commercial users from pulling into the site that would be residents only, no through traffic
signage and, then, looking off of -- coming off of Ustick through Building A in the upper
right we closed off that drive aisle connection as well and we also do provide signage as
you are entering that, so users won't take an early right and thinking they are going to the
commercial, there will be signage there saying resident only, no through access. And as
far as the building height issue, Building A was redesigned. We -- we lost -- went from
four stories to three. We completely lost the eastern unit and made that a pedestrian
plaza, so another additional amenity to the project. We redesigned the building to have
-- to be flat apartments, because before they were two story units, so now they are just
nine unit buildings, three story -- three units on each level, with two and three bedroom
and a one bedroom in the middle, primarily because of the daylight, with the one bedroom

Item 1. January 20,2022 F12

unit and we went with single unit garages. On the east side for the single family we
provided a little bit wider units to allow a front entry door and have that front loaded. So,
the rear of that on the far east is just backyard, so we got rid of that walkway, which was
previously encouraging more traffic and eyeballs and there is more people on that side
and less privacy, so this provides more privacy. And, then, we moved the dog park, which
was brought up in that -- in our last meeting that the dog park was kind of small and tight
when we had it in the southeast corner. We moved that over to the southwest corner and
the dog park fence would share the fence that's a requirement of Nampa-Meridian
Irrigation District to block off the Creason Lateral, so that will just be a continuation. That
will be part of that larger dog park. And, then, Building B on the west, we moved that --
moved that up and lost a lot. Lost one lot. So, if we look at open space, this actually
increased by about 3,000 square feet from -- with the addition of the pedestrian plaza in
the northeast corner and losing a lot in the -- on the west end from Building B. Our
parking, we are still well over the required. At the commercial we are required 24 stalls
and we are providing 25. At the multi-family we are required 33 and we are providing 35.
And at the single family we are required 173 and we are providing 197. Here is an image
of the aerial site. So, I won't spend too much time on the building design, since this is the
second time we have addressed this project. The -- this is the commercial building. Be
metal panel, concrete masonry and concrete wainscot on the bottom with -- and mostly
glass. This being a drive-through use and this is the second building, the smaller
commercial, which is intended to be a sandwich shop. Could be an ice cream parlor. It
could be a multiple of uses to serve that community. This is the view looking south. This
is Ustick. So, you are seeing Building A -- the two Building A's on the left and, then, the
commercial on the right and, then, here is a view looking south at the commercial corner.
This is sitting on the northwest corner and here is the view showing that MEW throughout
the middle of the site and commercial on the right. These are the floor plans for Building
A, which would have a corridor on the back on the second and third level that is how those
tenants would ingress and egress the units, with garages on the ground level with direct
access. And, then, on the elevation -- this elevation is slightly different than the one Joe
showed earlier. We had modified the patios to angle those roofs down to not only reduce
the height and the appearance of the height, but also provide a little more articulation
along Ustick and a little more rhythm. Here is an enlarged view of that plaza showing that
44 feet to the building and, then, again, this is a similar slide we looked at before, with the
grading plan, where the existing grade is at 25/75 for the single family home and we are
proposing a finished grade at 25/72. So, we are -- we are already three feet below the
existing single family. And here is a view of that plaza and Building A, so this would be
in the northeast corner. This is entering the site from West Pebblestone. And, then, here
is an image showing the resident only signage. It's kind of small to see in here, but that
white sign on the left. So, to prevent any circulation of commercial users from going
through the -- through the drive aisle and intending to go to the commercial space. This
is looking at that Ustick entry, looking north. And Building B we have five lots and the
materials were changed a little bit in -- in this to provide some shake siding and just a little
bit different of a design aesthetic, which will be further refined in design review. And here
is an image of that. And this also shows the ten foot bike path addition on the western
boundary to try to get pedestrian traffic off of Linder as much as possible and connect to
the existing bike path in the northeast corner -- or, excuse me, northwest corner of that
Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission
Item 1. January 20,2022 F13
Page 10 of 25
intersection. And this is looking at the -- it's sitting in the southwest corner looking north.
Building C. These were widened slightly, as Joe mentioned, to meet the minimum lot size
requirements and dropped to a two story unit from a three story unit, which was previously
proposed. And here is a view of the -- that Building C on the right and, then, the dog park
on the left. An aerial view of that southeast corner -- southwest corner. And, then, we
have our elevations of the single family, two story units. And this is the image of the --
through the MEW in the center of the site. So, this is providing a lot of, you know,
connectivity between residents and allowing residents to interact with one another and
not have everything be front garages. A view of that same space. And these are the
single -- the three single family homes in the southeast corner. And this was where we
previously had the dog park, which is now removed, so it's just additional open space,
which is, you know, very usable and a nice scale for, you know, more intimate uses, you
know, picnic outside, whatever you are -- you might want to be doing in that space. Again
similar to the northeast corner on the grades, the existing grades are 25/75 and our
proposed grades are 25/72. So, here as well we are three feet below the adjacent homes.
This section shows what Joe was mentioning about our 18 foot eight inch setback to the
building and, then, our second story patios are actually 22 feet back, as well as three feet
below. So, there is ample separation between there and without the -- or with the removal
of the pathway that previously was there this will be a lot more quiet, landscaped, and
provide more privacy. This is a view of the east end looking west. A view of the south
looking north. And a view of the west side looking east. And there you can see that 20
foot drive that connects to the -- the access point to the commercial. With that I will stand
for questions.
Seal: Thank you very much. Are there any questions for the applicant or staff at this
point?
Lorcher: Mr. Chair?
Seal: Commissioner Lorcher, go ahead.
Lorcher: The existing farmhouse -- do you own the entire parcel? Your developer?
A.Wheeler: Yes.
Lorcher: The existing farmhouse that is there, is it going to be destroyed or is it going to
be moved?
A.Wheeler: That's in discussions right now. We haven't made a final decision.
Lorcher: My second question is that I follow Zillow a little bit and yesterday a parcel at
the corner of -- 1.47 acres at Ustick and Linder came up for sale. How does that work
into the development?
A.Wheeler: Can you repeat that question?
Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission
Item 1. January 20,2022 F14
Page 11 of 25
Lorcher: So, Zillow -- so, I get notifications when properties go up for sale in Meridian,
just because I'm curious --
A.Wheeler: Yeah.
Lorcher: -- and so the corner parcel -- 1.47 acres at the corner of Ustick and Linder on
the northeast corner -- or southeast corner, which is yours, came up for sale.
A.Wheeler: You are talking about the corner of our property?
Lorcher: Right. Where you have the commercial building.
A.Wheeler: Yeah. Yeah.
Lorcher: So, are you selling that off or is it part of your development?
A.Wheeler: Well, it's part of the development. The intent is to potentially find a buyer that
would want to put a different use in there. So, we are -- you know, we are open right now
on what use is actually going to go in there and so it's exploring options at this point.
Lorcher: Okay. I mean it did say commercial vacant land for sale.
A.Wheeler: Yeah.
Lorcher: And so --
A.Wheeler: And the intent would be that whatever does go in there, whether -- whether
our client builds it and -- or another client does, that it would meet the requirements set
by the Commission and City Council, as well as going through a CUP in the future and,
you know, a higher level of design.
Lorcher: Okay. I was just kind of curious when I saw this come up for the agenda tonight
and, then, I also saw that for sale, I was wondering how that was all tying in together.
Thank you.
Seal: Anymore questions for the applicant or staff? Okay. At this time we will take public
testimony.
A.Wheeler: Thank you.
Seal: Thank you very much.
Weatherly: Mr. Chair, we have one person signed in and that's Caryn Bitler.
Bitler: I'm Caryn Bitler. I live at 3055 Northwest 13th Street in Meridian. Okay. Hello,
everybody.
Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission
Item 1. January 20,2022 F15
Page 12 of 25
Seal: Go ahead. And thank you.
Bitler: Okay. My concerns with the suggestions are as followed: The townhomes that
are proposed for the east side of the development, we still feel that they should be single
family detached homes or patio homes to alleviate density. Also the mixed use plan will
increase traffic noise, congestion, pollution, crime and we suggest you limit the residential
to detached homes, patio homes. Also the mixed use should only be considered for 40
acre parcels, of which this is not. One Commissioner mentioned the eight acre parcel
should not be considered for this project. That means eight acres would not support the
mixed use development and I just want you guys to do what's right only. Also, both
Commissioners Yearsley and Cassinelli stated their support for detached homes and
patio homes on the eight parcel acre -- the eight acre parcel on December 2nd and we
support developing these types of homes. And also the patio homes can attract another
demographic, which would be the older group, and I think that would be attractive to the
area. Also negative impacts would be in perpetuality, that's why we suggest the -- the
single family homes. Also -- they are also building townhomes just a few blocks away on
Ustick and also a big development is going in on the northeast corner of Linder and Ustick
and also we are concerned about building close to the flood zone. I know that you guys
have discussed it -- discussed it, but I just wanted to say that our neighbors are feeling
the same way. And also the person that owned the property next to the farm, I did go to
his house after our meeting during Christmastime and I did speak with him directly and
he was very upset, he was not for what was going on. He knew things would happen,
but he wasn't happy about it. I asked why he didn't show. He said he was busy. So,
that's how it goes. Also we are concerned about the flood zone as evidenced on the map
that I provided your people. And it was provided by the Public Works staff and also
Creason Creek was built on existing farmland and it's expected that all the homes would
receive a high groundwater and that affected our crawl spaces of our entire community.
We have come to realize that all communities that are built or will be built on existing
farmland will have the problem of high groundwater. Although the corner of the upper
edge of my lot is not in the flood zone per se, we did have flooding and it would -- and
also my neighbors to the north of us who are not in a flood zone, they had worse flooding
and everything was addressed. But, basically, I know they want to pipe the Kellogg Drain,
which is in the flood zone, which there is extreme concern for these -- any and all
buildings, because you really shouldn't build anything in that area. And the last thing I
wanted to say that it makes no sense to have any kind of construction in a flood zone and
it says to utilize -- utilize it as open space and when you still look at what he did and you
compare what I sent -- what I sent -- and this was from Andrew Korn, who is in charge of
flooding and he even said he didn't understand why things were being built in this flood
zone. So, that just raised extreme concern. And when I put this over the architect's
revived drawing you could still see in the red thatched area he still has homes.
Townhomes. I'm not saying that we should have single story homes, as he mentioned
before. I said single family detached dwellings, which means they could be two story,
they could be one story, but to be detached and I just hope that you consider this. Thank
you.
Seal: Thank you. Madam Clerk, do we have anybody else signed up?
Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission
Item 1. January 20,2022 F16
Page 13 of 25
Weatherly: We do not, Mr. Chair.
Seal: Oh. Come -- come right up. Just need to have you state your name and address
for the record.
Sindon: Yes. My name is Carissa Sindon. I live at 914 North 8th Street, Apartment B4,
in Boise. 83702. Okay. Hello. My parents used to own this property, so I grew up on
that corner and I listened remotely to the hearing last time and I just wanted to give my
perspective as to what my family has experienced with the growth in Meridian and I'm
definitely for this development and a lot of the things that people were saying last time is
traffic -- the complaints were traffic, losing views, quality of life, et cetera. When I grew
up there in the early '80s there was a two way stop. Stop signs on Ustick and Linder. So,
there was no stoplights or anything and we used to have a barn. That barn is now gone,
because of the widening of the road and my parents have moved -- moved about 15 years
ago, because of the traffic, because they lost their views. Their quality of life was
diminished. You can't have a farm life there anymore. So, I just wanted to give that
perspective, because I think it's inevitable that the land will be developed. That's just the
way Meridian is going right now and I think that the development that they have proposed
with the open space and the dog park and I think they are being very thoughtful about it
and it will provide housing. I think it's good and I just wanted to let you know that
perspective, because I'm a native Idahoan, been here for 40 years, and that's -- we used
to have a farm there and there is not a farm there anymore. So, thank you very much.
Seal: Thank you. Come on up. Please state your name and address for the record.
Stinnett: Pamela Stinnett. 3036 Northwest 13th Street in Meridian. And I'm not impacted
by people viewing into my backyard, because I'm on the other side of the street, but I see
that the housing is encroaching on the people that are right across the street from me.
My issues, though, go beyond that. They go further than just the -- the impact on our
development, because one of many developments, but it's going to impact all the other
developments, including the other one that's going across the street, because as it is
getting out of the subdivision is really tough. You are fighting -- if you have to go south
you can't go out on Linder without dying and if you try to go -- you know, if you come out
of 12th Street it's also very difficult. If you have to -- wiggle through and go through
Crossfield, it's still not much better, but, then, you are holding them up. The problem is
that --
Grove: I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
Stinnett: Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. I meant to put it higher. Sorry. Didn't stop to think
that she was shorter than I was. Anyway. So, the problem that I have is traffic in the
surrounding areas, because you have all these other developments. Another problem I
have, which I don't think many people really thought much about, because the gentleman
that talked about the schools said, well, they are at 20 percent now, but they could see
themselves being okay at 80. Well, with all the developments going in the school is not
going to be at 80, it's going to be over a hundred. It's going to be impacted greatly. So,
Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission
Item 1. January 20,2022 F17
Page 14 of 25
you are going to have a lot of kids putting a lot of burden on that school and I, honestly,
think that's going to impact the quality of their education and those kids are going to be
-- some kids from our neighborhood, as well as a new development. Additionally, I want
to make sure if they do -- if this development goes through as -- whether as planned or if
you make adjustments to it, are we going to be able to walk through their dog park or is
that going to be -- are there going to be limitations? Because, you know, to me that
precludes us easily going -- you know, we have to go all the way around to go to another
park or to walk down the street going, you know, around, if that -- if that's going to be an
issue and it just seems to me that there should not be a limitation on who can use that
open space. So, those are the main things. But I do think it's going to impact quality of
life, safety issues, traffic issues. I already -- when I first moved in three years ago I could
get to Cole Road and Franklin in 15 minutes easy, sometimes 12. Now it takes me 45
and it's just going to get worse and I don't expect it to stay perfect, but I do think that --
my time is up. Thank you so much for listening.
Seal: Thank you very much. Do we have anybody else in chambers that would like to
come forward and -- no? Nobody online raising their hand?
Weatherly: I don't see anybody, Mr. Chair.
Seal: Okay. Would the applicant like to come back forward?
Dodson: Mr. Chair?
Seal: Go ahead.
Dodson: I would like to make a couple comments first just to clear up some of the --
Seal: Absolutely. Please do.
Dodson: Regarding the floodplain or floodway, yeah, like 90 percent of the site is in some
kind of flood zone. It's a very--that's why I know that this property hasn't been developed,
because it's going to take a lot of work to get it out of there. However, what they are going
to do with the Creason Lateral and piping the Kellogg Drain will immediately change that
entire facet of that, which is good for the neighboring sites as well. There is also a geotech
that was done and specific construction recommendations within that, which we have a
condition already in there that says that they have to meet those specific
recommendations. So, we should be handled on that. I have full faith that we -- we will
monitor that as we do with any project that's in the floodway. There was another point
and I forgot. I will come back around.
Seal: Okay.
Dodson: Thank you.
Seal: Thanks.
Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission
Item 1. January 20,2022 F18
Page 15 of 25
A.Wheeler: Thanks, Joe. That's very helpful and on the details as always. So, to address
a couple of these -- these issues, to speak about the floodway, I mean, first of all, yes, we
are dealing with a site that is challenging and has taken a lot of creativity and thought
and, you know, time to put a solution that's viable here. We are staying completely out of
the floodway and we are designing the homes to be a foot above the base flood elevation.
So, that's how we are addressing the flood concerns. As far as the detached homes on
the east -- Joe, can we pull up to my presentation there. Just wanted to get to one of
those beginning slides. While Joe is pulling that up, you know, the comment was that,
you know, height doesn't matter, that it's the width and being detached. When we pull up
a map here you will see that the existing single family lots are about just as wide as two
of our lots as is. So, we are no much wider in our single structure than the existing homes
that are there, which are two stories in some cases as well and much wider than what we
are proposing. So, I feel that from a massing perspective we are aligned to what is
already existing on the eastern boundary. Regarding the use of the site -- yeah, just to
move on to that point -- go back to the very beginning here. Yeah. So, you can see on
the right there is -- those black lines on the very far edge are the property lines of the
existing single family and approximately, you know, encompass two of our lots. So, to
put a visual to that. As far as regarding the use of the area, that will be determined at a
later point through an HOA of how that will be managed, whether the dog park will be
open, whether the play structures will be open. At a minimum the --the ten foot pedestrian
path, which we already had provided and, then, we have extended that further to the
northeast -- or northwest to the bike parking, would be available and usable by -- by
anyone. So, that is a part that would be used for anyone on the site, not to mention any
of the commercial uses that go in there, that would -- you know, could become a very
viable, desirable place to go for the existing residents. I would just urge that the council
take consideration to this development and consider the challenges that we have ran into,
the needs of the City of Meridian for housing and the time, effort, energy and thought
that's gone into this project to bring something that's going to solve a complex problem in
a sophisticated way. So, with that I will stand for questions.
Seal: Joe, did you remember what you forgot?
Dodson: I do. Yeah. It was regarding the -- the dog park, just to say that the multi-use
pathway, as Andrew covered, will be shared for sure regionally, but the use of the open
space typically is not shared between developments, only because only one HOA is
paying for that area and to maintain that area -- the same as these residents won't be
able to use the Creason Creek open space. Technically. Does it happen? Sure. I'm
sure it does. But that's just typically how it goes. But if this HOA wants to do that they
are more than welcome to keep that open. But, again, that's not -- not usually something
that the city puts their hands on.
Seal: Okay. Thank you.
A.Wheeler: Thank you.
Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission

Seal: Thank you very much. Actually, I should have asked -- did you have a question?
No? No more questions? Okay. At this time can I get a motion to close the public hearing
for Item No. H-2021-0071?
McCarvel: So moved.
Wheeler: Second.
Seal: It's been moved and seconded to close the public hearing for Item No. H-2021-
0071. All in favor say aye. Opposed? Okay. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: SIX AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Seal: Comments?
Wheeler: Mr. Chair?
Seal: Commissioner Wheeler, go ahead.
Wheeler: I -- some of the concerns that were brought up -- I'm not as concerned on the
floodplain issue, because I know that there is going to be -- like staff has said about the
engineering requirements and things of that nature on that, plus the developer doesn't
want to put his money into something that's going to be sunken later and he's trying to
get a return out of it. So, I know that they are going to do what they can in order to build
it up and take care of those issues with that. The transitional piece on the eastern side
with the townhomes, I think that that makes a nice little segue or transitional part on the
eastern side of the property as it goes from some commercial there next to a -- if we count
the decel lanes, you know, six lanes or into a residential subdivision there. That seems
-- that seems to be a good use of that eastern side of it and I like the use of that open
space and created with a dog park in that cornered area there, that's going to be
interesting, especially with the way that they are also tying it into the --the pathways there.
So, this is -- seems to be a good project that, you know, for corner of six lanes by six
lanes with stoplights and everything, it seems like it's a -- a good use of space.
Seal: Okay. Anybody else want to jump in?
Lorcher: Mr. Chair?
Grove: Mr. Chair?
Seal: Commissioner Lorcher, I think you were first.
Lorcher: I will agree with Commissioner Wheeler. This is going to be developed like
everybody had said. It would be nice that everybody was a hundred percent in
agreement. All four corners are going to be residential with a little bit of commercial into
it and as long as the floodplain issues are resolved -- have been resolved and there is
Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission
Item 1. January 20,2022 F20
Page 17 of 25
connectivity with the pathways. Going opposite direction on either Linder and Ustick is
always going to be a problem, unless more lights are done. I know I go out of my way to
turn right and not try to turn left at any given time, even if it means going around the block
for safety reasons, because people just jut out from everywhere. Sometimes that can be
inconvenient, but it can also be a safety concern. But the transition I agree with
Commissioner Wheeler, from 12th Street and 13th Street over to that--with those building
lots seems like a good transition.
Seal: Commissioner Grove, did you want to jump in?
Grove: Awesome. Thank you, Mr. Chair. A couple of thoughts that I have on this. I
appreciate the changes that the applicant made in coming back to us with a revised plan.
It looks like they -- they put some real thought into how to address the concerns that we
had and they were able to do in a way that I hadn't fully foreseen and I like the changes.
I think the -- that open space is -- is very large for a development of this size and it looks
great, kind of coming off that arterial road and being able to see that large open space.
The future land use map shows this is mixed use and I think this is a good way to show
that intent of what the future land use map shows as mixed use. Getting the diversity of
housing types in there is -- is a great option and I think we need to have those options as
we continue to grow. You know, when I moved here from Boise years ago I moved here
because it was a great -- you know, we had all the awards for being a great family city, a
place for families to move and raise and grow your family and I think having those options
of different types of houses, different price points, things like that really helped build the
strength of our community. So, I applaud them and the types of choices that they made
for this. I also think that the movement that they put for traffic for the commercial space
makes a lot of sense and they have really done a good job of both separating and
integrating at the same time, so I'm in favor of this project.
Seal: Okay. Commissioner Yearsley? Commissioner McCarvel? Anything to add? Any
motions to be made?
Yearsley: Mr. Chair?
Seal: Commissioner Yearsley, go ahead.
Yearsley: You know, I think they did a fairly decent job trying to meet most of the
concerns. For me personally I just don't like it. I guess it comes down to personal
preference. I think they should have put single family homes at least on the east side to
provide a different -- a better transition. But -- but overall I think it's -- it works and I won't
-- I will just leave it at that.
Seal: Commissioner McCarvel?
McCarvel: Mr. Chair, after considering all staff, applicant, and public testimony, I move
to recommend approval to the City Council of file number H-2021-0071 as presented in

McCarvel: Almost.
Wheeler: I second that. I think. I think.
Seal: It's been moved and seconded to approve Item No. H-2021-0071.
Dodson: Mr. Chair?
Seal: Oh, Joe.
Dodson: Real quick. Just want to make sure we are clear. Do they need to include the
-- with the modifications of my memo in there?
Starman: I understood the motion to incorporate that, but maybe I will ask the maker of
the motion is that -- was that your intent?
McCarvel: To include all the staff notes?
Starman: Correct.
Dodson: Thank you.
Starman: I think we are good.
Seal: All right. It has been moved and seconded to approve Item No. H-2021-0071 to
include the staff notes. All in favor say aye. Any opposed?

7. Public Hearing for Pine 43 Pad G (H-2021-0097) by CSHQA, Located at
1492 N. Webb Way
A. Request: Conditional Use Permit for a drive-through establishment
within 300 feet of a residential zoning district on 5.31 acres of land in
the C-G zoning district.
Seal: All right. Okay. So, at this time I would like to open the public hearing for Item No.
H-2021-0097 and we will begin with the staff report.
Parsons: Thank you, Chair, Members of the Commission. Next item on the agenda this
evening is the Pine 43 Pad G conditional use permit. This site consists of 5.31 acres of
land. It's currently zoned C-G and it's located at 1492 North Webb Way. This property
was pre-platted and a development agreement modification was approved in 2017. So,
this site has not been formerly final platted yet, but it is part of the Pine 43 pre-plat and
staff has not -- again has not received a final plat to create this particular parcel, so in --
by that not being completed the applicant would be required to develop the entire five
acre site for this building to be constructed on it. I would mention to the Commission that
we have approved a -- what's called a staff level certificate a zoning compliance and
design review for one of the office -- or for one of the retail buildings on this site already.
It's currently under construction. So, the applicant is aware of those conditions and
proceeding with those as set forth as stated in the staff report. As you can see here this
project is part of a larger mixed use community designated area. This small commercial
area was anticipated to support a residential --
Yearsley: Mr. Chair? Bill, can you share your screen?
Parsons: Oh. I'm sorry. I thought Joe had that shared for you. You know what they say
when you assume things. Is that better for you? I thought you could read my mind. We
have been working together so long. Perfect. Everything else clear now? So, there is
the mixed use area that I was talking to you about and, again, this is just -- what the
applicant's proposing this evening is consistent with the concept plan tied to that
development agreement. So, here is that one pad site. It's in the southwest corner of
that 5.3 acre site. Again, the pad site to the north of this is under construction, along with
those frontage improvements and the -- the associated parking. So, as staff pointed out
in the staff report, they need to final plat it if they just want to develop this single parcel,
but because they haven't final platted and because we have already approved all of the
site work under certificate of zoning compliance, the applicant's basically complying with
the conditions of this particular conditional use permit. Again, the -- the reason why we
are here for a conditional use is because the associated drive through is within 300 feet
Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission
Item 1. January 20,2022 F23
Page 20 of 25
of a residential district. So, currently Pine 43 Apartments, Phase 2, which is zoned R-40
is directly to the south of this. The only thing that's separating it is a commercial drive
aisle along the south boundary and that's -- that's the purpose of why we are here tonight
is the code requires you to take access on that. Staff did note in the staff report that the
associated drive through does comply with all the specific use standards. Really minor
modifications. The applicant has agreed to putting up a six foot solid wall along the
landscape buffer here along the south boundary to help mitigate some of the noise to the
adjacent residential and that will be reviewed and verified at the time they modify their
certificate of zoning compliance for this particular site. I would also note here that there
is -- access points have been approved for this development as well. There is one here
north of it and, then, again, a shared drive aisle with the multi-family to the south and the
commercial to the north here. As part of the overall Pine 43 development the applicant
was required to provide cross-access for this development. So, they will have to provide
evidence of that prior to getting occupancy of this particular development. Because this
site does abut a residential district the code does restrict the hours of operation from 6:00
a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and the applicant's agreed to those conditions as well. So, they are
meeting code as far as hours of operation. I would mention to you that this is for -- this
-- the -- the commercial building is a multi-tenant building, approximately 9,800 square
feet and the drive-through tenant will be a restaurant use. I know Mr. Cassinelli is not
here tonight and he's a proponent of parking. Staff analyzed the parking as part of the
staff report. Because a restaurant use is going into this space the code requires one stall
for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. Staff has done the analysis based on that
ratio. It appears there is 48 parking stalls to accommodate that use, including additional
uses that may go into this development. So, if you look in -- in the lower corner --
southwest corner of the -- this site plan you can see the -- the keynote or, basically, a
vicinity map and you can see how there is shared parking and there will be additional
parking and commercial buildings on this particular property. Here is the landscape plan.
The applicant's required to provide a 20 foot buffer along North Webb Way, which is
occurring, as I mentioned to you, and, then, also a landscape buffer is required adjacent
to residential uses, which has also been addressed in the staff report. The applicant has
provided conceptual elevations. As part of the DA for this project the applicant was
required to have elevations that was complementary to the residential that was occurring,
so it was supposed to be a -- a consistent development -- development theme throughout
the Pine 43 development. This architecture that they are proposing is similar to the
existing building that's under construction currently and we reviewed with the previous
certificate of zoning compliance. I have had a chance to look at the public record. There
has been no public testimony on this particular application. Staff is recommending
approval with the conditions in the staff report and with that I would stand for any
questions you may have.
Seal: Thank you, Bill. At this time would the applicant like to come forward. Good
evening. Please state your name and address for the record.
Brozo: My name is Mandie Brozo with CSHQA, 200 Broad Street, Boise, Idaho. 83702.
Good evening. Pressures off, since everyone left. Got the mic at the right height, so --
thank you, Mr. Chair, Commission Members. We are here to present the Pad G multi-
Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission

Page 21 of 25
tenant retail. Right now it's only one drive through, unlike some of the other ones you
have seen that I have tried to put multiple drive throughs in one, but it's just one. We are
doing a very dense landscape buffer between us and the residents to the south and, then,
all of the residents' windows actually face east-west, so the wall, all the landscaping, will
hopefully help buffer any kind of traffic that you have going through that site.
Seal: Okay.
Brozo: And design review and CZC will be able to develop the elevations and anything
else you guys want to see.
Seal: Okay. Any questions for the applicant or staff?
Lorcher: Mr. Chair?
Seal: Commissioner Lorcher, go ahead.
Lorcher: The multi -- the building is going to have multiple businesses in it. Which --
which way does the front door face? On Webb Way?
Brozo: It faces north towards Fairview.
Lorcher: Towards Fairview. But there is a building in front of it; correct?
Brozo: It's along the corner of--the hard corner of North Webb and Fairview and so there
is shared parking between the two and that building on the corner actually faces south
inwards towards -- so these buildings face each other.
Lorcher: Okay. So, there will be a sight line from Fairview to be able to see your
businesses and what their signs are?
Brozo: Yeah. One of the access points that actually wasn't addressed is that right there
that is directly off of Fairview.
Lorcher: And that's an access point to be able to get into this commercial area?
Brozo: Correct.
Lorcher: Okay. Thank you.
Seal: Commissioner Mr. Wheeler, go ahead.
Wheeler: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mandie, I have got a question for you here. I'm just --
I'm looking at the site plan here. I'm seeing that the drive aisle that's going around onto
-- it looks like from the west side and, then, it comes around to the backside of the building
-- is that correct? Is that -- that's how I'm understanding it; right? And that looks like it's
Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission
Item 1. January 20,2022 F25]
Page 22 of 25
a drive aisle like for drive throughs for any sort of retail or commerce or food or anything
like that, that's the access for. Is that what I'm understanding?
Brozo: Technically that's just for the drive through.
Wheeler: Okay. Okay. So, is that -- but that's not like a loading area or anything like
this, this is actually for like retail pickup kind of -- things like that, like the drive through;
correct? So, you could actually have -- because there is multiple spaces in this building
and multiple retail, you could have multiple windows delivering off this backside, is that
the way you are seeing it or not?
Brozo: We are seeing it as the one drive through for the restaurant tenants and, then,
anybody else who would have to use that back rear loading would be parking not in that
drive aisle.
Wheeler: Okay. Okay. And where would that -- what would that look like with them not
being in that drive aisle and having access for loading on the rear?
Brozo: So, not actually knowing what the tenants are going to be for this space, hopefully
deliveries are happening during, you know, regular business hours. They do have that
drive aisle directly to the east. It is wide enough and we could possibly make it wider --
Wheeler: Okay.
Brozo: -- if we needed to for them to stop a truck, unload, get to the back of the spaces
or provide front entry loading.
Wheeler: Very good. Okay. Thank you.
Yearsley: Mr. Chair?
Seal: Go ahead.
Yearsley: Man, I think you missed your mark. I would have gone for two drive throughs
in this. I think this is prime for a lot of restaurant space given the commercial behind you,
but -- so, that was my only comment.
Brozo: There is still time. I mean --
Seal: All right. Any other questions for applicant or staff? No? All right. At this point we
will take public testimony if anybody is signed up.
Weatherly: Mr. Chair, we do have one person signed in, Carissa Sindon. I do believe
that name was --yeah -- stated on the first one, so besides that I don't see anybody online
or signed up.

Seal: Okay. Anybody else in chambers? Okay. Unless you have anything else to add?
All right. Thank you. Okay. At this point can I get a motion to close the public hearing
for Item No. H-2021-0097.
Wheeler: So moved.
Yearsley: Second.
Seal: It's been moved and seconded to close the public hearing for Item No. H-2021-
0097. Whoever wants to jump in go right ahead.
McCarvel: Second. Should we vote on it?
Seal: Oh. That's -- that's true. So, it has been moved and seconded to close the public
hearing for Item No. H-2021-0097. All in favor say aye. Opposed? Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: SIX AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Seal: Now you can jump in. It seems like I'm talking a lot tonight.
Yearsley: It's only just begun.
Seal: Well, yes. Oh, yes.
Yearsley: Mr. Chair?
Seal: Commissioner Yearsley, go right ahead.
Yearsley: I think they have done a great job. I like the idea of the screen wall along the
backside. I think that makes a lot of sense and -- and will help for the residents to the
south. So, yeah, with this I -- like I said, I still think they should have went for another
drive through and I will stand at that.
Wheeler: Mr. Chair?
Seal: Commissioner Wheeler, go ahead.
Wheeler: I have a question with that. I'm going to kind of dovetail on what Commissioner
Yearsley is talking about here and ask staff about that. If we were to make a motion -- is
there a way that we could include something like that, like including up to two different
drive through access points on the -- or is that something that we are not able to do?
Parsons: I keep -- I almost called you Madam Chair. Apologies. Mr. Chair, Members of
the Commission, technically this has been advertised for a single drive through. So,
wouldn't advise us to add another drive through to your recommendation. Plus we haven't
had a chance to analyze that and do some of that analysis for you. Certainly if the
Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission
Item 1. January 20,2022 F27
Page 24 of 25
applicant wants to propose another drive through on the site it can come back at that time
and they can take that up with the Commission. But tonight we are only acting on one
and that's what I would recommend we stay with.
Wheeler: Thank you.
Yearsley: Mr. Chair?
Seal: Commissioner Yearsley, go ahead.
Yearsley: After considering all staff, applicant, and public testimony I move to recommend
approval to City Council -- no. Actually, this is we approve.
Seal: This is for approval. Correct.
Yearsley: Recommend approval of File No. H-2021-0097 as presented in the staff report
-- staff report for the hearing date of January 20th, 2022, with no modifications.
Wheeler: I second.
Seal: It has been moved and seconded to approve Item No. H-2021-0097. Did I say
recommend to approve? Sorry. It has been moved and seconded to approve Item No.
H-2021-0097 with no modifications. All in favor say aye. Any opposed? Okay. Motion

Yearsley: Mr. Chair?

Yearsley: Before I -- or we end this meeting I just want to officially say that I really enjoyed
working with Rhonda both of my terms, so -- and you will be missed, so -- and I would
recommend that we let her, with a tear in her eye, make the last motion.
McCarvel: I wouldn't have had one until you said that, but I learned everything I know
from Commissioner Yearsley.
Seal: We look forward to welcoming you back.
Grove: And, Rhonda, I'm sorry I'm not there in person.
McCarvel: Yeah. I don't think this is a very stellar way to start off your term is vice-chair.

Application(s):
Annexation and Zoning, Preliminary Plat, and Conditional Use Permit; Private Street application was also submitted but is an
administrative approval.
Size of property, existing zoning, and location: This site consists of 8.8 acres of land, zoned RUT, located at the SEC of Linder 7
Ustick.
History: N/A
Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation: Mixed-use Community (MU-C, 6-15 du/ac)
Summary of Request: Annexation of 10.41 acres of land with a request for C-C (2.01 acres) and R-15 (8.3 acres) zoning districts;
Preliminary Plat consisting of 44 residential building lots (43 single-family residential and 1 multi-family residential), 1 commercial
building lot, and 2 common lots on 8.8 acres of land in the proposed C-C and R-15 zoning districts; Conditional Use Permit for a multi-
family development consisting of a total of 18 units on 1.18 acres in the proposed R-15 zoning district. Note: The Applicant has also
received private street approval in a portion of the project; this application is reviewed and approved by the Director so Commission
action is not required.
The subject site has existing City of Meridian zoning in all directions. The site is directly bordered to its north and west by arterial
streets, Ustick and Linder Roads, respectively. Development of the surrounding areas are ongoing with detached single-family to the
east and south in Creason Creek Subdivision and multiple office buildings being constructed to the north across Ustick Road. C-C
zoning and an ambulance service exist to the west across Linder Road. In addition to the existing land uses around the property, the
subject site contains two major waterways and a large area of floodplain that traverse a large segment of the southern half of the site,
the Creason Lateral and the Kellogg Drain. The Applicant is proposing to pipe the Kellogg Drain and reroute it to make more area of
the site usable as well as provide open space and pathways in the southwest corner of the site and along the west boundary.
The proposed land uses are attached single-family, townhomes, multi-family residential, and commercial. These land uses are
consistent with those outlined in the MU-C future land use designation definitions when properly integrated with both internal and
external uses. Overall, Staff finds the proposed site design does integrate the proposed uses in appropriate manners. Specifically, the
Applicant has proposed their multi-family residential product along Ustick and the commercial buildings at the hard corner of the Ustick
and Linder intersection which places the most intense uses closest to the arterials. Therefore, the single-family uses are proposed on
the remaining area of the site that makes up approximately 70% of the site area. The Applicant is proposing the single-family portion of
the site as all two-story except for the 6-unit townhomes along Linder and one additional 3-plex near the southwest corner of the site;
these buildings are proposed as 3-story units.
In addition to site design and proposed uses, certain densities are required to be met for residential projects within the MU-C future
land use designation (6-15 du/ac). The proposed project as shown is approximately 7.35 du/ac, meeting the gross density requirement.
Overall, Staff finds the project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the future land use designation of Mixed-Use
Community.
However, Staff finds some revisions to the site plan should occur to better transition from the existing single-family to the east.
Specifically, the height disparity between the proposed 4-story multi-family building along Ustick and the proposal to have alley-loaded
homes along the east boundary. The existing detached single-family home in Creason Creek directly adjacent to the site is a single-
story home with an upstairs bonus room. Despite the separation of the side yard of the single-family home and a proposed micro-path
area of 20 feet wide between the two uses, Staff finds the height disparity of the existing home and the proposed 4-story multi-family
building is not an adequate transition. Staff is recommending the top two (2) units directly adjacent to Creason Creek are removed so
there is approximately 65 feet (includes landscaping and unit width) of separation between the existing home and the 4-story portion of
the multi-family building. Applicant has provided revised elevations with the loss of one (1) unit adjacent to the east boundary.
Staff recommends the units along the east boundary to be front-loaded instead of utilizing the public street as an alley. Staff
recommends a new preliminary plat condition of approval to address this prior to City Council. It should read similar to: “Applicant shall
revise the site plan to show those units along the east boundary (Lots 1-12, Block 2) to be front-loaded units and remove the shared
pedestrian access along the east boundary; and revise the plat to show the property lines of these lots going all the way to the east
boundary for the rear yards of these homes.”
Proposed residential uses are allowed uses within requested R-15 zoning district. Future commercial uses will be analyzed
when future applications are submitted for this area.
Dimensional standards:
o Commercial lot meets dimensional standards.
o Multi-family meets all standards except for the height—Applicant’s revised elevations of these buildings show
compliance with the 40’ height limit of the R-15 zoning district.
o Single-family area of the site meets dimensional standards except for the center lot of the 3-plex (Lots 8-10, Block 1).
Multi-family Specific Use Standards - Each multi-family unit is proposed as a two-story unit with the units on levels 1 & 2
differing from those on levels 3 & 4.
o Lower units provide at least 132 square feet of private open space in the form of private patios; upper units provide at
least 251 square feet of private open space per unit in the form of private patios.
o Each unit is proposed as being greater than 1,200 square feet so 350 square feet per unit of common open space is
required. Based on original number of 18 units, 6,300 square feet of common open space should be provided to
satisfy this requirement. Open space for the project is shared throughout the development and the Applicant is
proposing open space in excess of code requirements for both the single-family and the multi-family portions of the
project.
o 18 units = at least 2 amenities from two categories—the Applicant is proposing a shared plaza and public art from
Quality of Life and Open Space categories to satisfy this requirement.
A minimum of 10% qualified open space meeting the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3B is required for the single-family
portion of the site. Based on the proposed plat of 8.75 acres, a minimum of 0.88 acres of qualified common open space
should be provided to satisfy this requirement. According to the Applicant’s revised open space exhibit, approximately 1.64
acres of qualified open space is proposed (approx. 18.7%). The majority of the qualified open space consists of the large open
space area in the southwest corner of the site, the large central mew, and half of the required arterial street buffers. This area
exceeds the minimum UDC requirements. Staff finds the proposed open space is adequate in amount and placement to
satisfy all code requirements.
Based on the area of the proposed plat (8.75 acres), a minimum of one (1) qualified site amenity is required to be provided.
Applicant proposed three (3) qualified amenities (correction to staff report that states 2)—a 10-foot multi-use pathway
segment, a children’s play structure, and a fenced dog park area. The proposed amenities exceed the minimum UDC
standards.
Applicant is proposing pedestrian facilities throughout the entire site that include attached sidewalks, micro-paths, and a multi-
use pathway segment. All of these facilities connect and integrate the site offering more than adequate pedestrian circulation.
All proposed sidewalks/pathways meet UDC standards.
Project meets all off-street parking requirements per submitted plans. Future building permits for single-family will verify
compliance with off-street parking standards based on the number of bedrooms per unit.
Access from the adjacent arterials (N. Linder Road and W. Ustick Road) is proposed via one 25-foot wide driveway connection
to each arterial street.
o The driveway to Ustick Road will be restricted to right-in/right-out, per ACHD, and passes through the multi-family
portion of the project where it connects to the parking drive aisle for the multi-family units and then connects to the
proposed private street.
o The driveway access to Linder Road is a temporary full access and is located approximately 360 feet south of the
Linder/Ustick intersection. ACHD has approved both of these arterial access points through review of driveway
analyses made by the Applicant’s traffic engineer. No Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was required because less than 100
residential units are proposed.
o The other public access points to the site are proposed via extending a public local street through the site. N. Zion
Park Avenue is being extended from the south property boundary and W. Pebblestone Drive is being extended from
the east property boundary in the northeast corner of the site and is shown to connect for a completion of the public
road system in this development.
o Applicant is proposing a private street through a portion of the residential area (west half). According to the submitted
plans, the Applicant is proposing this private street to be at least 26 feet wide and be within a 30-foot easement on
the plat. The proposed private street and local street are functioning as alleys for a majority of the proposed
residential units as the main entrance to each home is located opposite of the garage access. Complies with UDC
standards.
o Applicant is proposing three (3) detached homes in the southeast corner of the site. These lots take access from a
common drive off of the local street extension, N. Zion Park Avenue. The proposal for the number of units and
access complies with code requirements.
Changes since 12/2 hearing: See Staff Memo to Commission dated 1/14/2022 –
- Commission continued the project for the following reasons: create a better solution to the transition between the proposed
multi-family building and the neighborhood to the east; modify the attached units on the east side of the site to be front-loaded;
revise the plat to match any changes to the overall conceptual site plan.
Written Testimony: John & Caryn Bitler – Concerns over the type of residential units proposed being different than the existing
homes in Creason Creek, inclusion of multi-family, height disparity of proposed units to the existing homes, and the increase of noise
and traffic, etc.
Helen & Eder Santana – Similar concerns as above.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of subject applications per the conditions in the staff report.
Notes:
Possible Motions:

2021-0071, as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of December 2, 2021, with the following modifications: (Add any
proposed modifications to conditions)

Item #7: Pine 43 Pad G (H-2021-0097)
Application(s):
CUP
Size of property, existing zoning, and location: This site consists of 5.31 acres of land, zoned C-G, located at 1492 N. Webb Way.
History: A DA exists for this property that governs future development.
Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation: Mixed Use – Community (MU-C)
Summary of Request: A CUP is proposed for a drive-through establishment in the C-G zoning district within 300' of a residential
zoning district. The proposed drive-through is associated with a restaurant use in a 9,800 square foot multi-tenant building. The
residential district (and future multi-family apartments) directly abuts the site at the south boundary.
This site currently consists of 5.31-acres of land. A preliminary plat was approved which includes this site; however, a final plat has not
yet been approved to create the lot for this site, which is intended to consist of 0.88-acre. If the portion of this site that is the subject of
this application develops prior to a final plat being recorded to subdivide the overall property, the Developer is responsible for
constructing all of the street buffer improvements on the existing parcel along N. Webb Way & E. Fairview Ave.
Access is proposed from (2) future driveways via N. Webb Way along the north and south boundaries of the site. A cross-
access/ingress-egress easement is required to be granted to the property to the south for interconnectivity. Parking (48 spaces) is
proposed for the site in excess of the minimum standards for restaurants (i.e. 1 per 250 s.f.). A buffer to future residential uses is
proposed on the south side of the proposed drive-through lane.
The site design is consistent with the specific use standards for drive-through establishments. A 6’ tall sight obscuring fence is
proposed on the south side of the building to screen the drive-through window from the future residential use to the south as required.
because the property is zoned C-G & abuts a future residential use to the south, the business hours of operation for the proposed use
are limited to 6:00 am to 11:00 pm.
Conceptual building elevations for the proposed single-story structure were submitted that incorporate a mix of materials consisting of
wood siding, corrugated metal siding, stucco, concrete, metal, glazing and stone accents. Final design shall be consistent with the
design standards listed in the ASM & with the DA.

V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (Comb. Plan)
This property is designated Office on the Future Land Use Map(FLUM) in the Comprehensive Plan.
This designation is meant to provide opportunities for low-impact business areas. These uses
would include professional offices,technology and resource centers; ancillary commercial uses
may be considered(particularly within research and development centers or technological parks).
Sample zoning include L-O.
The property was annexed and zoned in 2003 to the R-8 zoning district. In 2005, a rezone
application was approved to change the zoning to the current L-O zoning district. Consistent with
this rezone, a final plat was approved for six(6)office lots as part of Verona Subdivision No. 3. In
2008 applications were submitted to allow for the potential of including a church on these lots and
was tied to a modified DA(MI-08-006). The DA from 2008 is the relevant agreement for this site
but did not have a concept plan for these lots. In lieu of a concept plan,the DA references specific
limitations to the allowed commercial area and included a provision that a minimum of three(3)
office buildings in this office development. This provision has been satisfied with the existing
development of three(3)office buildings. In addition, specific elevations were included as part of
the DA that the current proposal generally complies with. Staff notes, despite no Development
Agreement Modification being required,the relevant DA contemplates all commercial uses within
the subject office lots.
Instead of solely commercial uses,the Applicant proposes to develop the site with 16 vertically
integrated residential (UDC 11-4-3-41)units across four(4)buildings on two vacant parcels in the
L-O zoning district. Two buildings are proposed on each parcel with each parcel also having off-
street parking lots in addition to the two-car garages proposed for each unit. Vertically integrated
residential projects incorporate commercial spaces and residential uses within one structure and
most often include commercial space on the first floor and residential on the floor or floors above.
In this project,the Applicant is proposing a small commercial space at the front of the building on
the first floor with the proposed residential portion of the units being both behind and above the
commercial space. Therefore,the Applicant is proposing a two-story concept for these vertically
Page 3
Item 3. 62
integrated buildings with the vehicular access for each unit proposed to be from the rear via a two-
car garage for each unit.
Vertically integrated residential projects are defined as follows in UDC 11-1A-1: "The use of a
multi-story structure for residential and nonresidential uses where the different uses are
planned as a unified,complementary whole and functionally integrated to share vehicular
and pedestrian access and parking."This use is a conditional use within the L-O zoning district
because they incorporate a residential component within a zoning district primarily intended for
office uses. However,code allows for this type of use,as noted,through a conditional process with
the assumption that appropriate commercial and residential uses can be located within this district
and type of development area when appropriately designed. As part of that analysis, adjacent uses
should also be taken into account. To the west of the subject sites sit two vacant L-O parcels;
further to the west and abutting Ten Mile Road are two office buildings. Because of common
ownership of the land,the Applicant is showing an office building directly to the west on the
vacant office lot along the north boundary but this building is not part of the proposal and is shown
only for reference.
To the east and north of the subject sites are detached single-family residential that are part of the
Verona Subdivision. To the south is approximately 10 acres of C-G zoned property that includes a
number of commercial properties under development. The existing use is on the hard corner of
McMillan and Ten Mile and is a fuel service station and convenience store. Directly to the south
and across W. Milano,the largest commercial parcel has approvals for a 164 unit 55 and older
multi-family development. Staff anticipates future residents of that site could utilize some of the
future services provided within the commercial spaces of the proposed vertically integrated
buildings.
Because the proposed use is adjacent to a mixture of existing and planned uses(residential,office,
commercial,etc.), Staff finds it should be an appropriate use in this Office FLUM designation for
the reasons noted above. However, Staff does have concerns over the overall viability of the
proposed commercial component of these units based on the proposed floor plans and the
relatively small area of commercial proposed in each unit.While reviewing this project,Staff
recommends Commission determine whether the proposal meets the intent of Vertically
Integrated and if the proposed design is desired in the City and in this specific geographic
area.Further analysis for the proposed use is below in the Comprehensive Plan policy
analysis as well as in Section VII.
The following goals and policies in the Comprehensive Plan are applicable to 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 and should add to the
livability and economic vitality of the community by providing the opportunity for
residents to live and work in close proximity to the same physical space.
• "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 site is not part of or directly adjacent to a mixed-use area but is adjacent to a
number of commercial and residential uses. Therefore, this area can largely function as a
mixed-use area and the inclusion of vertically integrated structures, when properly
designed, only furthers that element of this area. The proposed use would allow
neighborhood serving commercial uses in close proximity to residential neighbors to the
Page 4
Item 3. 63
east and north thereby reducing vehicle trips and enhancing livability of the area.
• "Require appropriate building design, and landscaping elements to buffer, screen,beautify,
and integrate commercial,multifamily, and parking lots into existing neighborhoods."
(5.01.02D)
The proposed vertically integrated residential project is shown with a residential design in
order to better blend with the existing neighborhood to the north and east. The Applicant
intentionally proposed this building design but Staff finds this design may impede the
commercial viability of the commercial spaces for anyone besides the residential tenant.
This can work but it is not a guarantee every residential tenant will also want a
commercial space. Therefore, with the current design and in these instances, the
commercial space may sit empty and never activate the commercial areas as intended with
a vertically integrated use. Some of the expected and allowed uses allowed in these
structures are as follows: arts, entertainment or recreation facility; artist studio; daycare
facility; drinking establishment; education institution;financial institution; healthcare or
social assistance; industry, craftsman; laundromat;personal or professional service;
restaurant; and retail. With the proposed size of the commercial suites, Staff anticipates a
number of these uses would not be viable. Further analysis and recommendations are in
subsequent sections below.
• "Locate smaller-scale,neighborhood-serving commercial and office use clusters so they
complement and provide convenient access from nearby residential areas, limiting access
to arterial roadways and multimodal corridors."(3.07.02B)
As discussed above, the proposed use and design of these buildings should provide for
smaller-scale, neighborhood serving commercial and office uses. Staff finds, if properly
designed, the proposed use would provide convenient access from adjacent residential
areas and capture some vehicle trips that would otherwise utilize the arterial roadways.
• "Avoid the concentration of any one housing type or lot size in any geographical area;
provide for diverse housing types throughout the City."(2.01.01 G)
The proposed vertically integrated residential project would be a new housing type within
this area of the City. In fact, Staff is not aware of this type of use within at least a mile of
this property in all directions. The addition of a new housing type in this area helps
provide for a diversity in housing for different income levels and housing preferences.
VI. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE UD
The proposed use,vertically integrated residential project, is listed as a conditional use in the L-O
(Limited Office)zoning district per UDC Table 11-2B-2. Compliance with the dimensional standards
listed in UDC Table 11-2B-3 for the L-O district is required and are met per the submitted plans
except for the drive aisles proposed to access the garages for each unit.
The submitted site plan shows the drive aisles adjacent to the garages as 20 feet wide which does not
comply with UDC 11-3C-5 standards for two-way drive aisles.A two-way drive aisle, applicable
throughout the site, requires a minimum width of 25 feet. The Applicant should revise the plans to
show compliance with this standard at the time of Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZQ submittal.

Item 3. 64
VII. STAFF ANALYSIS
As discussed above in Section V,the proposed vertically integrated residential project is considered
an appropriate use and meets the development guidelines listed for the Office designation if properly
designed.
Staff has noted concerns with the proposed floor plan and elevations of the building in regards to the
use and long-term viability of the commercial component to this project.According to the Applicant,
the commercial spaces of the units will be leased with the residential units therefore, removing the
potential of a non-resident utilizing the commercial suite and somewhat minimizing some of the
concerns of the long-term viability of the space. In consideration of this information, it is logical the
Applicant would propose a relatively small commercial space for each unit(approximately 165
square feet). The submitted conceptual floor plans would indicate the commercial suite in each unit
being equal to a home office instead of a standalone commercial space—this design is not specifically
prohibited or discussed in the specific use standards for this use or its definition.
However, the proposed unit design is what creates concern and Staff finds it does not fully meet the
noted definition of Vertically Integrated as currently proposed. The submitted floor plan shows a
relatively small commercial suite that has minimal storage space for inventory, no separate room for
meetings, and no outdoor patio space to help activate the commercial frontage. Staff is concerned
this small space could be rented out as a separate residential unit without the City being the wiser OR
would become an office for the residence and not serve the nearby neighborhood as intended with the
commercial component of vertically integrated residential projects. The proposed size of the
commercial spaces in each unit will likely not support many of the allowed uses noted in the specific
use standards for this use. This furthers Staffs concern that these units may become standalone
residential, which is not an allowed use in the L-O zoning district.
In addition to the units facing the adjacent public streets, the Applicant is proposing two units to the
interior of the site that has even less visibility and presents more challenges to having a viable
commercial component. Because of the location of this building, Staff is recommending these units
are removed in lieu of additional parking and some open space for future residents and commercial
patrons. An inclusion of open space for this development presents a more livable project and allows
further opportunity for a shared space between the commercial and residential components of the
project.
Staff is aware the subject project is not proposed in an urban environment and a vertically integrated
project more consistent with downtown Meridian would not fit with the existing neighborhood
character. Commission should determine if the proposed vertically integrated project, despite
meeting minimum code requirements, meets the intent of the proposed use.
In order to help with some of the concerns noted,Staff is recommending the following revisions to
the plans: 1) expand the commercial area of the units to potentially encompass the entire first
level,2)remove the first exterior door to help delineate the commercial and residential areas of the
units by creating two exterior facing doors;one for the residential, and one for the commercial
suite,and 3) remove the two (2) units that frame the hard corner of W.Milano Drive and N.
Cortona Way to incorporate a shared plaza space similar to what exists in the commercial area on
the south side of McMillan in Bridgetower Crossing. With the addition of outdoor patio
space/shared patio space the commercial component of this development would help activate some
of the commercial spaces.Additional and more specific recommendations can be found under the
elevation analysis below and in the conditions of approval in Section XA.
The proposed use is subject to the following Specific Use Standards(UDC 11-4-3-41)—Vertically
Integrated Residential Project: (Staff analysis in italics)
Page 6
Item 3. 65
A. A vertically integrated residential project shall be a structure that contains at least two(2)
stories. Submitted plans show compliance by proposing two-story units.
B. A minimum of twenty-five(25)percent of the gross floor area of a vertically integrated
project shall be residential dwelling units,including outdoor patio space on the same floor as
a residential unit. Submitted plans show compliance with this standard by proposing vastly
more residential floor area than commercial. In addition, the conceptual floor plans depict
private patios on the first floor of each unit complying with the second portion of this
standard.
C. The minimum building footprint for a detached vertically integrated residential project shall
be two thousand four hundred(2,400) square feet. The smallest of the four(4) buildings is
proposed as approximately 3,600 square feet. Therefore, all of the proposed buildings comply
with this standard.
D. The allowed nonresidential uses in a vertically integrated project include: arts, entertainment
or recreation facility; artist studio; civic, social or fraternal organizations; daycare facility;
drinking establishment; education institution; financial institution;healthcare or social
assistance; industry, craftsman; laundromat;nursing or residential care facility; personal or
professional service;public or quasi-public use;restaurant;retail; or other uses that may be
considered through the conditional use permit process.Noted and the Applicant shall comply
with this specific use standard. As noted above, the proposed floor plans depict
approximately 165 sq.ft. of commercial space, Staff has concerns that the proposed
commercial space may not be large enough to accommodate many of the allowed uses noted
above.
E. None of the required parking shall be located in the front of the structure.According to the
submitted plans, the required parking for each residential unit and the commercial spaces is
located behind or adjacent to the structures. Staff finds the proposed design complies with
this standard.
Access(UDC 11-3A-3):
One(1)driveway access is depicted on the overall site plan and connects to N. Cortona Way along
the east boundary of the site—the only direct access to a public street for the project. The submitted
plans also show the main drive aisle that bisects the project and lies across the shared property line to
continue west to connect to an existing drive aisle utilized for the two office buildings along Ten Mile
—this drive aisle connects to W. Milano Drive approximately 190 feet west of the subject sites. The
additional office building shown on the submitted site plan is not part of this project and would likely
only require administrative applications in order to be constructed.
The site plan shows multiple drive aisles off of the main east-west drive aisle for access to the
proposed vertically integrated units and the two-car garages. Staff anticipates the two access points
shown on the site plans would be needed for safest and most efficient flow of traffic for this proposed
project despite the future office building to the west not being a part of this project. Because of this,
Staff is recommending a condition of approval to construct the northern portion of this drive aisle
with this project to ensure adequate traffic flow for the site regardless of the timing of development of
the office site shown west of the subject sites.
Staff does not have concern with the proposed access for the project with Staff s recommended
timing of the east-west drive aisle construction and previous mentioned recommended condition to
widen the drive aisles to meet code requirements.
Parking(UDC 11-3C):
UDC Table 11-3C-6 requires the following off-street parking spaces for the proposed use of vertically
integrated residential project: one(1) space per residential unit and the standard parking ratio for
Page 7
Item 3. 66
nonresidential uses(1 space per 500 square feet of gross floor area). Based on 16 residential units, a
minimum of 16 spaces should be provided. As noted,each unit is proposed with a two-car garage that
exceeds our dimensional standards and therefore exceeds code requirements. Each commercial space
is less than 500 square feet requiring one additional space per unit—according to the submitted plans,
20 additional parking spaces are proposed on the subject site. Based on the submitted plans,the
proposed parking exceeds UDC requirements and Staff has no concern with the parking proposed for
the site.
Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-1
There are existing 5-foot wide attached sidewalks along the adjacent public streets,W. Milano Drive
and N. Cortona Way and meets UDC standards for these areas. Any damaged curb, gutter or sidewalk
is required to be replaced if damaged during construction.
The submitted plans do not show any additional sidewalk connections from the front of the
buildings to the existing sidewalks, as required in UDC 11-3A-19. Stafffinds this to be a missed
opportunity to activate the building frontage with the adjacent streets for the commercial suites.
Therefore, consistent with Staffs additional recommendations to add a separate commercial door
on the front facade of each unit,Staff is recommending additional 5-foot wide sidewalks are
constructed from the front of the units facing public streets(14 of the 16 units). Because of the
overall design of the units abutting each other in a mirrored format,Staff is acceptable to shared
connections to the attached sidewalks so long as each unit entrance has a sidewalk connection to
the shared connection. Please see exhibit below for an example:

Landscaping(UDC 11-3B):
A 10-foot wide street buffer is required to be provided along N. Cortona Way to the east, a local
street, and a 20-foot wide street buffer is required along W. Milano Drive, a collector street,
landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C.Parking lot landscaping is required per the
Page 8
Item 3. 67
standards listed in UDC 11-3B-8C. A 20-foot landscape use buffer to the existing single-family
residential to the north is also required.
All required street buffers are existing and comply with code requirements. The submitted landscape
plan depicts the required 20 foot wide use buffer along the north property boundary but does not
show the required number of trees. According to the aerial imagery, there appears to be existing and
mature trees in this buffer but this is not depicted on the plans. The existing landscape conditions
should be added to the plans with the future CZC submittal.
The required parking lot landscaping appears to be compliance with UDC requirements except for
the area adjacent to the parking lot along the west boundary on the south parcel. D. This should also
be revised with the future CZC submittal.
Fencing(UDC 11-3A- :
According to the submitted landscape plan,it is unclear if any fencing is proposed with this project.
Code does not require perimeter fencing but there is existing fencing along the north property
boundary that belongs to those homes within the Verona Subdivision. If any additional fencing is
proposed in the future, a detail of the proposed fencing should be included on the landscape plans
with the CZC application that demonstrates compliance with the standards in UDC 11-3A-7.
Building Elevations:
The conceptual building elevations submitted with the application depict two-story units with two-car
garages that are attached via internal breezeways. Overall,the elevations depict farmhouse style
architecture with the addition of lighter stone accents and larger windows along the first floor
commercial fagade. Administrative Design Review was not submitted concurrently with this
application so one will be required with the future CZC submittal. Furthermore, Staff will analyze the
proposed elevations for compliance with the Architectural Standards Manual(ASM) at the time of
Design Review submittal.
Upon initial review of the conceptual elevations, they appear to meet the required standards of the
ASM. However, as stated throughout this report, Staff has concerns with how the commercial suite is
delineated from the residential portion of the building. Staff finds the proposed building fagade where
the main entrance is located makes it difficult to determine where the residential and commercial lay.
In the last pre-application meeting, Staff discussed this issue with the Applicant and requested they
look into providing different treatment to the first floor fagade in question in order to more clearly
delineate the commercial and residential uses of the building in order to help activate the commercial
component.
In the spirit of this request and consistent with Staffs other recommended revisions to the building
design,Staff is also proposing the future Design Review elevations to include a more traditional
commercial storefront for each commercial space by providing more window area, if possible, a
different field material on the first floor fafades overall,and to include the dedicated commercial
entry door noted on the front facing facade, as recommended in previous sections of this report.
With these revisions,Staff believes not only the elevations are improved but the overall project is
also improved by providing a better avenue to activate the commercial aspect of the proposed
project.
Certificate of Zoning Compliance(UDC 11-5B-1):
A Certificate of Zoning Compliance(CZC)is required to be submitted for the proposed use prior to
submittal of a building permit application to ensure compliance with UDC standards and the
conditions listed in Section X.

IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
A. 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 development agreement as part of the annexation approval.
B. Future Land Use Map Designation(https:llwww.meridianciU.or /g compplan)
This property is designated Medium Density Residential on the City's Future Land Use Map
(FLUM)contained in the Comprehensive Plan. This designation allows for dwelling units at
gross densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre. Density bonuses may be considered with
the provision of additional public amenities such as a park, school, or land dedicated for public
services.
The annexation area is near existing public services and is surrounded on three sides by the City
limits. The proposed land use of single family residential is consistent with the recommended
uses in the FLUM designation. The proposed project has a gross density of 3.66 du/ac, meeting
the required density range listed above. Therefore, Stafffinds the proposed preliminary plat and
requested R-8 zoning district to be generally consistent with the Future Land Use Map
designation of Medium Density Residential.
The City may require a development agreement(DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant
to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. In order to ensure the site develops as proposed with this
application, staff recommends a DA as a provision of annexation with the provisions included in
Section IX.A. The DA is required to be signed by the property owner(s)/developer and returned to
the City within 6 months of the Council granting the annexation for approval by City Council and
subsequent recordation.
C. Comprehensive Plan Policies(https:llwww.meridiancioy.or /g compplan):
• Encourage a variety of housing types that meet the needs,preferences, and financial capabilities
of Meridian's present and future residents. (2.01.02D)
The proposed traditional single-family detached and alley-loaded homes will contribute to the
variety of residential categories in the City; however, there is no variety in housing types
proposed within the development. Daphne Square Subdivision (zoned R-15)and single-family
homes in the County(zoned RUT) are across W. McMillan Rd. to the north. To the south is the
Quartet Subdivision (zoned R-8). To the east is the single family detached Volterra Heights
Subdivision (zoned R-8)and across N. Black Cat Rd. to the west is the Oakcreek Subdivision
(zoned R-8). Given the property is completely surrounded by single-family detached, single family
detached with comparable lot sizes is appropriate for the subject property.
Page 5
Item 5. ■
With new subdivision plats,require the design and construction of pathway connections, easy
pedestrian and bicycle access to parks, safe routes to schools, and the incorporation of usable
open space with quality amenities."(2.02.01A)
The proposed plat depicts 5 ft. wide detached sidewalks on both sides of roads internal to the
subdivision. There are also S ft. wide detached sidewalks along N. Black Cat Rd.
This is the same width provided along N. Black Cat Rd. by the Quartet Northeast No 1
Subdivision to the south and the Daphne Square Subdivision to the north. 10 ft. wide pathways
are provided along W. McMillian Rd, which is consistent with the pathway alignment shown on
the Pathways Master Plan, and along one side off. Grand Lakes Wy(the internal collector).
Staff does believe there are portions of the development where there could be more direct non-
motorized connectivity to the amenities and common open space within the development as well
as to the detached sidewalk along N. Black Cat Rd. Staff has red-marked these recommended
connections on the landscape plan below.
As will be mentioned in the Qualified Open Space and Amenities Sections below, the applicant
proposes several connected common open space areas and amenities throughout this
development.
• "Require pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions together and promote
neighborhood connectivity."(2.02.01D)
As mentioned above, 5 ft. wide detached sidewalks are provided along all internal roadways,
along N. Black Cat Rd, and 10 ft. wide pathways are provided along W. McMillian Rd and N.
Grand Lakes Way. Staff is recommending several additional micro pathway connections as a
condition of approval.
"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 development can be adequately served by critical public facilities and urban services. Water
and sewer will be extended along W. McMillan Rd. to the south.
• Ensure that new development within existing residential neighborhoods is cohesive and
complementary in design and construction. (2.02.02F)
Daphne Square Subdivision (zoned R-1 S)and single-family homes in the County(zoned RUT)are
across W. McMillan Rd. to the north. To the south is the Quartet Subdivision (zoned R-8). To the
east is the single family detached Volterra Heights Subdivision (zoned R-8)and across N. Black
Cat Rd. to the west is the Oakcreek Subdivision (zoned R-8). These subdivisions have comparable
densities to what is being proposed.
This development proposes architecture consisting of one and two-story homes with pitched
roofs, stone bases and/or lap siding with gabled roofs and dormers comparable to what has
been approved with adjacent subdivisions. In order to ensure compatibility and quality of design
with existing and approved residential uses surrounding the property,staff recommends a
condition that rear and/or sides of 2-story structures on facing W.McMillan Rd,N.Black Cat
Rd. and N. Grand Lakes Wy. incorporate articulation through changes in two or more of the
following:modulation (e.g.projections, recesses,step-backs,pop-outs),bays,banding,porches,
balconies, material types, or other integrated architectural elements to break up monotonous
wall planes and roof lines.Single-story structures are exempt from this requirement. Planning
approval will be required at time of building permit.

Item 5. 87
• 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)
There are presently 3 accesses off of W. McMillian Rd., two of which are being used by existing
single-family residences. There is one access on N. Black Cat Road at the south property line.
This proposal would remove two of the W. McMillian Rd. accesses and provide a new collector
access approximately hal6vay between the east and west property lines. The N. Black Cat Rd
access would be shifted to the north to align with W. Quintale St. in the Oak Creek Subdivision.
There are three internal accesses—two aligning with N. Bartok St. and N. Grand Lake Way.from
the Quartet Northeast No 2 to the south, and one aligning with W. Viso St.from the east through
the Volterra Heights Subdivision.
D. Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
There are two existing single-family residences on the subject properties. One residence(4023 W.
McMillan Rd.)is proposed to remain on a 76,888 sq. ft. lot.
E. Proposed Use Analysis:
Single-family detached dwellings are listed as a principal permitted use in the R-8 zoning districts
in UDC Table 11-2A-2.
F. Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2):
The preliminary plat and future development is required to comply with the dimensional
standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6 for the R-8 district.All proposed lots and public streets
appear to meet UDC dimensional standards per the submitted preliminary plat. This includes
minimum lot size of 4,000 sq. ft., and required street frontages of at least 40 ft. Development of
the subdivision is required to comply with the subdivision design and improvement standards
listed in UDC 11-6C-3.
UDC 11-6C-3-regulates block lengths for residential subdivisions. Staff has reviewed the
submitted plat for conformance with these regulations. The intent of this section of code is to
ensure block lengths do not exceed 750 ft,although there is the allowance of an increase in block
length to 1,000 feet if a pedestrian connection is provided.No block length exceeds 750 ft.
Eleven common driveways are proposed with this subdivision. The applicant has provided
common drive exhibits which demonstrate no more than 3 units are served whereas a maximum
of 4 units are allowed. The common driveway meets the minimum width of 20' and does not
exceed the maximum length of 150'. Solid fencing adjacent to common driveways is prohibited,
unless separated by a minimum five-foot wide landscaped buffer.
G. Access(UDC 11-3A-3):
W. McMillian Rd along the property frontage is 2 lanes with no curb,gutter or sidewalk.N.
Black Cat Rd is 2 lanes with a 5' detached pathway on the western side(Oak Creek Subdivision).
This development proposes five points of access. The primary access will be a collector street off
W. McMillian Rd. (N. Grand Lakes Wy.) approximately midway between the east and west
property lines,making an"S"curve through the property and connecting into Quartet Northeast
No 2 at the southeast corner of the property. The other three accesses would be local streets-one
is a western access to N. Black Cat Rd. which aligns to W. Quintale St., an eastern access which
Page 7
Item 5. ■
connects to W.Viso St. from the Volterra Heights Subdivision, and an additional southern access
which connects to Sunnyside Ave.,also in the Quartet Northeast No 2.
N. Grand Lakes Way(the collector)does not align with N.Joy St. to the north as is shown on the
ACHD Master Street Map. Instead, it is offset approximately 985 feet to the west. This offset
occurs because there are existing utility poles obstructing the ACHD-preferred alignment with N.
Joy St. During preliminary discussions ACHD has responded that they support this proposed
alignment.
Although ACHD is still working on a staff report, staff has been in communication with them
regarding this project.All roads in this development are proposed to be built to ACHD standards.
ACHD will not be requiring any additional dedication along W. McMillian Rd.because it will be
shifted to the north during a future widening project. ACHD is requesting ROW dedication along
N. Black Cat Rd. of 50 ft. from centerline. The applicant will be required to construct a
westbound turn line at the intersection of the collector with W. McMillian Rd. Staff is
recommending as a condition of approval that required frontage improvements along N. Black
Cat Rd and W.McMillian Rd including pathways, landscape buffers,detached sidewalk and left
turn lane shall be constructed with the first phase of development.
The applicant proposes pavers on the local roads instead of standard pavement. The applicant
states pavers will not only help to alleviate some of the challenges associated with the high
groundwater present in the area,but will foster an exclusive and high-quality charm for future
residents. ACED is still discussing whether they will support this alternative.
H. Parking(UDC 11-3C):
Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC Table 11-
3C-6 for single-family detached dwellings based on the number of bedrooms per unit. Future
development should comply with these standards.
1. Pathways ( UDC 11-3A-8):
A 10 ft.wide detached pathway is reflected along W. McMillian Rd. which is consistent with the
alignment shown on the Pathways Master Plan.There is also a 10 ft. wide detached pathway
along one side of N. Grand Lakes Way. (the internal collector)which connects to the W.
McMillian Rd.pathway. Several micro-pathways are reflected providing connectivity to internal
portions of the development. As mentioned in the Comprehensive Plan analysis above,to
improve more direct pedestrian connectivity, staff is recommending additional micro-pathway
connections(red-marked on the landscape plan below).
J. Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17):
Five-foot detached sidewalks are proposed along internal streets in accord with the standards
listed in UDC 11-3A-17 (except for a 10 ft.wide pathway along one side of N. Grand Lakes
Way). There is also a 5 ft.wide detached sidewalk provided along N. Black Cat Rd. This 5 ft.
width is consistent with the width of the sidewalk along N. Black Cat Rd. provided by Quartet
Northeast No 2 to the south as well as the Daphne Square Subdivision to the north.
K. Parkways (UDC 11-3A-17):
Parkways are provided between the detached sidewalks and road on both sides of all local roads
except for Sunday Loop (Lot 1-27,Block 5). All parkways meet the requirements of 11-3A-17
and 11-313-7 including at least 8 ft. in width and landscaped with at least 1 tree per 35 feet.
Page 8
Item 5. 89
L. Landscaping(UDC 11-3B):
UDC 11-2A-6 requires 25 ft. wide buffers along arterial roads(N. Black Cat Rd. and W.
McMillian Rd.)and 20 ft.wide buffers required along collector roads (N. Grand Lakes Way).
The landscape plan reflects a buffer from the N. Black Cat Rd. edge of pavement ranging in
width from between 70 ft. from the at the south to 120 ft. wide at the north. The Creason Lateral
and the Lemp Lateral as well as a maintenance road are both located within this buffer, although
there is an additional landscape strip width of 25 ft.wide between the laterals and the exterior
property fences.Along W.McMillian Rd.to the north,there is a buffer ranging in width from
between 64 ft. and 80 ft. in width. The Creason Lateral is also located in this buffer;there are
landscape strips of at least 25 ft. in width between this lateral and the exterior property fences.
Both arterial buffers meet the minimum requirement for at least one tree per 35 ft. in width; the
areas containing laterals are shown to be sod. Buffers of at least 30 ft. in width are provided along
N. Grand Lakes Way(20 ft. is required). 8 ft wide landscaped parkways are provided along most
of the internal local streets with the exception of the Sunday Loop at the NE portion of the site.
The landscape plan includes 11.63 acres of qualified open space(14.5%)as will be discussed in
the Qualified Open Space and Amenities sections below.
The landscape plan indicates there are no healthy existing trees meeting the preservation
requirements on the property.
M. Qualified Open Space (UDC 11-3G):
14.5%(11.63 acres) of qualified open space is shown. This includes 1.19 and 2.42-acre
neighborhood parks, several smaller pocket parks, landscaped pathways, 8 ft.parkways and 100%
of the collector buffers.
The common open space exhibit indicates the arterial buffers as"non-qualified open space"
whereas '/z of this area can be counted as qualified open space per UDC 11-3G-3.
N. Qualified Site Amenities (UDC 11-3G):
Based on the area of the proposed plat(80.3 acres),4 amenities are required(one for the first 5
acres, one for each additional 20 acres). The subdivision provides two large parks,each with a
pool and clubhouse(counting as six amenities because the parks are at least 20,000 sq. ft. in
excess of the minimum 5,000 sq. ft. requirement). A pickleball court is provided within one of
these parks (Lot 7,Block 5). There are two pocket parks(Lot 6,Block 9 and Lot 46,Block 2).
There is also an additional 4%of open space beyond the required 10%and internal pedestrian and
bicycle pathways bisecting several of the blocks which are not required pathways. The proposed
development exceeds the minimum requirements.
O. Waterways(UDC 11-3A-6):
The Creason Lateral runs along the western property line paralleling W. McMillan Rd. and
connecting through the Quartet Subdivision to the south. The Lemp Canal adjoins with the
Creason Lateral along the property's frontage adjacent to McMillan and continues to travel south
along Black Cat Road. Both laterals will be piped per UDC 11-3A-6. Maintenance roads are
indicated along both laterals. Coordination will be ongoing with the irrigation districts managing
the waterways to meet their requirements.
P. Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
The landscape plan includes a fencing plan. 6 ft.high solid vinyl fencing is provided along the
entire perimeter of the property and along the sides of most residential lots that are adjacent to
detached sidewalks(with visibility from the road maintained). 5 ft.high open vision fencing is
provided around the open spaces, a 6 ft.high open style fence is provided around both pools, and
Page 9
Item 5. 90
there a 4 ft.high open style fence is provided around the pickleball court. The fencing appears to
meet the requirements of 11-3A-6 and 11-3A-7.
Q. Utilities (UDC 11-3A-21):
Public services are available to accommodate the proposed development. Water and sewer will be
extended along W. McMillan Rd to the south. There appears to be an Idaho Power utility
easement indicated on the public utility plan that is not shown on the plat. All easements should
be shown on the preliminary plat and only Class I trees may be planted within these areas per
UDC 11-313-5.
R. Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual):
The Applicant has submitted a large number of elevations of the single-family homes for this
project as well as the clubhouses(see Section VI.F below).
The single-family homes are depicted as one and two-story structures with attached garages, and
a variety of architectural elements and finish materials including gabled roofs,covered porches,
dormers, stone wainscoting, and lap siding. The submitted sample elevations appear to meet
design requirements for single-family homes but do not include elevations of the sides or rears of
structures.
As noted in the Comprehensive Plan section, a large number of the houses will be very visible
from W. McMillian Rd.N. Black Cat Rd. and N. Grand Lakes Wy. Therefore, staff recommends
a condition that the rear and/or sides of 2-story structures that face W. McMillian Rd. and N.
Black Cat Rd. incorporate articulation through changes in two or more of the following:
modulation(e.g.projections,recesses, step-backs,pop-outs),bays,banding,porches,balconies,
material types,or other integrated architectural elements to break up monotonous wall planes and
roof lines. Single-story structures are exempt from this requirement. Planning approval will be
required at time of building permit.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
CC: Andrew Wheeler, DG Group Architecture
FROM: Joseph Dodson, Current Associate Planner
RE: Lennon Pointe Community AZ, PP, CUP (H-2021-0071)
Dear Commissioners,
Lennon Pointe Community AZ, PP, CUP (H-2021-0071)was heard by Planning and Zoning
Commission on December 2, 2021. At that hearing the Commission continued the project to the
January 20, 2022 hearing date for the following reasons outlined in their motion: create a better
solution to the transition between the proposed multi-family building and the neighborhood to
the east; modify the attached units on the east side of the site to be front-loaded; revise the plat to
match any changes to the overall conceptual site plan.
Since the hearing, the Applicant has submitted revised plans to Planning Staff as of January 14tn
The revised plans have resulted in a number of recommended changes to the conditions of
approval and development agreement provisions. The revisions made by the Applicant are
noticeable but do not affect much of the overall development data but the Applicant has
proposed a loss of one residential unit throughout the development to total 60 units (42 single-
family and 18 multi-family). Any updated numbers will be added to the staff report following the
Commission's final recommendation to City Council to ensure transparency. Please refer to the
attachments and subsequent bullet points below regarding the specific changes since the
Commission hearing.
Tle revised plans show the following changes made by the applicant based on the Commission's
discussion.
• Reduction in height and size of apartment buildings—the Applicant has revised the
proposed apartment buildings along Ustick to be 3-story buildings instead of 4-stories.
This has resulted in.a_slight height reduction of the buildings (37' at its highest point of
the-sloped roof) and an overall reduction of building massing. In addition, the Applicant
removed the easternmost end-unit altogether which has resulted in further separation
or unity Development Department . 33 E. Broadway Avenue, Suite 102, Meridian, ID 83642
/ Phone 208-884-5533 . Fax 208-888-6854 . www.meridiancity.org
item s. from the existing single-family home to the east. According to the revised site plan, the 130
proposed building is at least 44' from the east property line.
o By removing the apartment end-unit, the Applicant has now proposed an
additional plaza area with pedestrian access to the sidewalk along Ustick.
• Applicant removed the cross-access point between the multi-family drive aisle and the
commercial property to the west in order to reduce any cut-through traffic.
• Applicant converted the attached units along the east boundary to be front-loaded(facing
west) and removed the walking path along the east boundary per Staff and Commission
comments.
• Applicant moved the location of the proposed dog park as discussed at the hearing. It is
now located within the larger open space lot in the southwest corner of the site.
• Applicant revised the lot sizes of the 3-unit townhome unit near the southwest corner of
the site to meet the minimum lot size requirements in accord with Staff s condition of
approval.
• Applicant added a segment of 10' multi-use pathway within the required landscape buffer
along Linder Road.
• The Applicant also removed one unit from the 6-unit townhome building to move it out
of the floodway and include a new drive aisle connection on the north end of this
building. This new drive aisle offers additional separation between the commercial lot
and the residential building but is not a required connection. Staff understands the benefit
of this connection but could also envision additional open space in this area in lieu of
more asphalt. Staff is recommending an additional condition of approval relating to this
connection should Commission determine it should remain to ensure perpetual cross
access.
The parameters of the Commission motion to continue and the revised plans have resulted in
Staff modifying certain conditions, striking others, and adding an additional DA Provision. Staff
recommends the following changes be made to the staff report by the Planning and Zoning
Commission, noted with strikeout and underline changes below:
• Modify A.1 f. —No more than 4-618 multi-family units are approved with the Lennon
Pointe Community development *'-e. ors*yxe units ^loses*to the east property beufl a�,
and Gr-easen Greek Subdivision are limited to �we story units in height.
• Add Provision—If cross-access is proposed between the commercial lot and the 5-unit
townhomes, the Applicant shall submit a recorded cross-access agreement to the Planning
Division at the time of Final Plat Signature to ensure perpetual cross-access between the
private street in the residential portion of the project and the commercial lot.
• Strike A.2a—meet the size of eek 1 to meet the ''�gfoot fflifliffl*m
• Strike A.4a&4.b—a. Shift the 6 tmit townheme building to the north to fneve as flitteh
of Lot 2, Bleek 1 out of the floodway zone; b. Move the detaehed sidewalk adjaee
the east side of the 6 t�nit tevffiheme biAding to the east to be an attaehed sidewalk t

V. STAFF ANALYSIS
A. Future Land Use Map Designation(https://www.meridiancity.orglcompplan)
Mixed Use Community—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.
The subject site has existing City of Meridian zoning in all directions, including across the
adjacent arterials to the north and west. The site is directly bordered to its north and west by
arterial streets, Ustick and Linder Roads, respectively. Development of these areas are ongoing
with detached single-family to the east and south in Creason Creek Subdivision and multiple
office buildings being constructed to the north across Ustick Road.An ambulance service and C-
C zoning exist to the west across Linder Road. In addition to the existing land uses around the
property, the subject site contains two major waterways and a large area of floodplain that
traverse a large segment of the southern half of the site, the Creason Lateral and the Kellogg
Drain. The Applicant is proposing to pipe the Kellogg Drain and reroute it to make more area of
the site usable as well as provide open space and pathways in the southwest corner of the site and
along the west boundary.
The proposed land uses are attached single-family, townhomes, multi family residential, and
commercial. These land uses are consistent with those outlined in the MU-C future land use
designation definitions and preferred uses when properly integrated with both internal and
external uses. Overall, Stafffinds the proposed site design does integrate the project and
proposed uses in appropriate manners. Specifically, the Applicant has proposed their multi-
family residential product along Ustick and the commercial buildings at the hard corner of the
Ustick and Linder intersection which places the most intense uses closest to the arterials.
Therefore, the single-family uses are proposed on the remaining area of the site that makes up
approximately 70%of the site area. The Applicant is proposing the single-family portion of the
site as all two-story except for the 6-unit townhomes along Linder which are proposed 3-stories.
Because of the proposed transitional density and placement of the proposed uses, this project is
generally consistent with the concept diagrams in the City's Comprehensive Plan for mixed-
use designations.
However, the one area of the site that Staff finds could provide more transition is the 4-story
multi family building along Ustick that is also adjacent to single-family to the east. The existing
detached single-family home in Creason Creek directly adjacent to the site is a single-story home
Page 6
Item 6. F140]
with an upstairs bonus room. Despite the separation of the side yard of the single-family home
and a proposed micro path area of 20 feet wide between the two uses, Staff finds the height
disparity of the existing home and the proposed 4-story multi family building is an adequate
transition.According to the Applicant, the multi family units are each two stories and are being
proposed as being stacked, which is how the 4-story concept is proposed. Therefore, Staff is
recommending the top two (2) units directly adjacent to Creason Creek are removed so there is
approximately 65 feet(includes landscaping and unit width) of separation between the existing
home and the 4-story portion of the multi family. With this revision, the height of the two story
multi family units would be approximately 21 feet depending on how the Applicant proposes to
roof the units (flat roof or pitched roof).
In addition to site design, certain densities are required to be met for residential projects within
the MU-C future land use designation. The proposed project as shown is approximately 7.35
du/ac, meeting the 6-15 du/ac requirement(see community metrics above). Therefore, Stafffinds
the density proposed with the annexation and plat is consistent with the Future Land Use Map
designation of Mixed-Use Community(MU-Q. NOTE: The gross density will decrease slightly
with staffs recommendation to lose two of the multi family units.
Mixed-use designations also require at least three (3) types of land uses. When analyzing projects
within the MU-C future land use designation, the approved and/or developed land uses nearby
must be considered. Therefore, Staff has taken into account adjacent land uses that can be
traveled between with relative ease. The closest development to this property is an office
development that is under construction to the north. Specific uses of this project are not known at
this time but the property is zoned C-C and does not have limitations on the allowed uses outside
of zoning. Furthermore, this project is proposed with different residential land uses as well as
two commercial building footprints. Staff finds the appropriate number of uses for a mixed-use
area is met.
Therefore, as noted previously and with Staffs recommended revision,Staff finds the proposed
project to be generally consistent with the Mixed-Use Community purpose statement and
concept diagram.Further and specific policy analysis is below.
The City may require a development agreement(DA)in conjunction with an annexation pursuant
to Idaho Code section 67-651IA.In order to ensure the site develops as proposed with this
application, Staff recommends a DA as a provision of annexation with the provisions included in
Section VULA1. The DA is required to be signed by the property owner(s)/developer and returned
to the City within 6 months of the Council granting the annexation for approval by City Council
and subsequent recordation.A final plat will not be accepted until the DA is executed and the AZ
ordinance is approved by City Council.
B. Comprehensive Plan Policies (https://www.meridiancity.or /g compplan):
The applicable Comprehensive Plan policies are cited below with Staff analysis in italics.
"Avoid the concentration of any one housing type or lot size in any geographical area;provide for
diverse housing types throughout the City"(2.01.01 G).Lennon Pointe Community is proposing a
project with a combination of land uses in the form of single family attached, townhomes, multi-
family, and commercial within one development.A vast majority of the housing that exists around
this development are traditional detached single-family homes. The Applicant hopes to add
additional housing types in this geographic area and within this MU-C area that will delineate a
unique living opportunity in the City and add to the housing diversity available while being
within safe walking distance to future commercial uses.
"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
Page 7
Item 6. 141
proposed site design incorporates mews,private streets, an extension ofpublic streets, common
open space, and different land uses within the same project area.As discussed above, Staff finds
the proposed site design is compatible with adjacent uses through transitional density, buffering,
and overall design.
"Establish and maintain levels of service for public facilities and services,including water, sewer,
police,transportation, schools, fire, and parks"(3.02.01G).All public utilities are available for
this project site due to existing facilities abutting the site. This project also lies within the Fire
Department response time goal of S minutes. Linder and Ustick Roads are currently built at their
ultimate anticipated widths directly abutting the site.
West Ada School District offered comments on this project and estimates 32 additional school
aged children would be housed in this development.According to the letter received, the
allocated elementary and high school for this site have capacity but the middle school is already
over capacity. Staff understands that school enrollment is a major issue to be dealt with on a city-
wide scale. Due to the incorporation of different housing types and a unit count on the low end of
the allowed density, the Applicant has minimized the project impact on area schools.
Staff finds that the existing and planned development of the immediate area create conditions for
adequate levels of service to and for this proposed project.
"Preserve,protect,and provide open space for recreation, conservation, and aesthetics"
(4.05.0117). The proposed project offers open space that exceeds the minimum requirements in the
unified development code (UDC). The Applicant has placed a large area of open space in the
southwest corner of the development where the irrigation facilities and their easements exist. In
addition, there is a mew running north-south through the center of the development for the
attached single-family units to front on green space rather than the road network. This adds to
the green space and adds a more livable component to the project. Other areas of open space are
also proposed along the west boundary that would act as a buffer from Linder as well as a
proposed dog park area in the southeast corner of the site. In addition, all of the open space
areas are accessible through pedestrian facilities that connect throughout the entire site. Staff
supports the proposed open space areas and anticipates they will provide recreation,
conservation, and add to the aesthetic of the project.
See further analysis in Section V.F and V.L.
"Establish distinct, engaging identities within commercial and mixed-use centers through design
standards."(2.09.03A).As discussed above, the proposed project offers a distinct set of uses and
design that are currently not available nearby the site. Included in this is the incorporation of two
commercial buildings at the northwest corner of the site with a shard plaza for use by the
residents and future business patrons. This is a desired aspect of mixed-use areas that helps
engage the commercial buildings with the residential component of a project. In addition,
according the submitted elevations and site renderings, the Applicant is proposing distinct
architecture for the project that creates a specific identity for this development and corner
property.
In addition to general Comprehensive Plan policies,projects in mixed-use areas should also
aim to meet the mixed-use policies.Rather than list them all in this report,Staff has
analyzed the project against them and finds the project to be consistent with a majority of
those policies outlined in the mixed-use area of the Comprehensive Plan here.
Therefore,Staff finds this development to be generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and a majority of the mixed use policies.

Item 6. F142]
C. Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
The site currently houses a single-family home and other accessory buildings. All existing
structures will be removed upon development of this site. The Applicant will be responsible for
maintaining the existing arterial sidewalks along Ustick and Linder Roads during construction.
D. Proposed Use Analysis:
The Lennon Pointe Community proposes multiple residential uses and a commercial component
within the same project. The commercial area is proposed at the very northwest corner of the site
and shows two building pads totaling 12,000 square feet on 1.47 acres of requested C-C zoning.
No tenants are currently known at this time but the submitted site plan shows the larger building
closest to the hard corner with a drive-through and the smaller building along the south boundary
of the C-C area adjacent to a shared plaza. Should a drive-through be proposed on this
commercial lot, it will require a future Conditional Use Permit(CUP)because it is within 300
feet of a residential use and district. Commercial buildings require Certificate of Zoning
Compliance(CZC) and Design Review so Staff will evaluate uses for compliance with code with
future application submittals.
The remaining area of the site(7.28 acres)is proposed with the R-15 zoning district and
residential uses. The residential areas of the site are proposed with three(3)detached single-
family homes(located at the very southeast corner of the site),attached single-family(2 attached
units with each on their own lot),townhomes(3 or more attached units on individual lots), and
multi-family residential.All of the proposed single-family uses are permitted uses within the
requested R-15 zoning district. The multi-family residential use is a conditional use in R-15
zoning district per UDC Table 11-2A-2.
No phasing plan was submitted so it can be assumed development is proposed to be constructed
in one phase.Administrative Design Review is required for all of the proposed residential uses
except for the three(3) detached homes proposed in the southeast corner of the site. This
application was not submitted concurrently with the other applications so the Applicant will be
required to submit this prior to obtaining building permits for any of the attached product and the
multi-family. The Applicant has provided conceptual elevations and renderings of all residential
uses and Staff s initial analysis is that the buildings comply with the Architectural Standards
Manual(ASM).
E. Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2):
The commercial and multi-family residential lots appear to meet all UDC dimensional standards
per the submitted plat.All of the single family lots also meet the UDC minimum lot size standard
except for the central lot in the 3-unit townhome at the south end of the site—this lot is shown as
less than the minimum required 2,000 square feet and should be corrected with the final plat
submittal to meet UDC standards. The 3-unit townhome building contains the three smallest
building lots in the development and includes the non-conforming lot. Other than these three lots,
the smallest building lot is approximately 2,800 square feet.
Furthermore, it appears the site plan shows building footprints too large for the proposed
building lots—the building footprints do not meet the minimum building setback to the entrance
sidewalks of 10 feet. When future building permits are submitted, the Applicant will be required
to show compliance with all R-15 dimensional standards as outlined in UDC Table 11-2A-7.
According to the submitted conceptual elevations,the proposed 4-story multi-family
buildings are 46 feet in height which is above the 40 foot height limit for the requested R-15
zoning district.Prior to submitting for CZC and Design Review, the Applicant is required to
correct this to comply with the R-15 dimensional standards.
Page 9
Item 6. F143]
In addition to the building lots,the Applicant is proposing a private street through a portion of the
residential area. According to the submitted plans,the Applicant is proposing this private street to
be at least 26 feet wide and be within a 30-foot easement on the plat. Sidewalks are not required
along private streets but the Applicant has proposed a 5-foot wide sidewalk along the proposed
building rather than adjacent to the private street. Overall,the minimum UDC standards outlined
in UDC 11-3F for the proposed private street are met per the submitted plans.
The inclusion of sidewalks adjacent to the townhome units on the west end of the development
adds to the pedestrian circulation of the site despite not being required for private streets. The
same can be said for all of the pedestrian facilities shown on the submitted site plan that provide
the entrances to each unit and creates alley-loaded homes for a majority of the site. However, the
"detached"sidewalk on the east side of the 6-unit townhome building should be moved to be
located adjacent to the private street so the sidewalk is less likely to be blocked by cars parked on
the parking pad between the street and the garage door.
In addition, all subdivision developments are also required to comply with Subdivision Design
and Improvement Standards(UDC 11-6C-3). The proposed preliminary plat and submitted plans
appear to meet the UDC requirements of this section.
F. Specific Use Standards(UDC 11-4-3):
The proposed multi-family development use is subject to conditional use permit approval by the
Planning and Zoning Commission and subject to specific use standards outlined in UDC 11-4-3-
27 and below:
11-4-3-27—Multi-Family Development:
A. Purpose:
1. To create multi-family housing that is safe and convenient and that enhances the quality
of life of its residents.
2. To create quality buildings and designs for multi-family development that enhance the
visual character of the community.
3. To create building and site design in multi-family development that is sensitive to and
well integrated with the surrounding neighborhood.
4. To create open space areas that contribute to the aesthetics of the community,provide an
attractive setting for buildings, and provide safe,interesting outdoor spaces for residents.
B. Site Design:
1. Buildings shall provide a minimum setback of ten feet(10')unless a greater setback is
otherwise required by this title and/or title 10 of this Code. Building setbacks shall take
into account windows, entrances,porches and patios,and how they impact adjacent
properties.Proposed project complies with this requirement according to the submitted
plans.
2. All on-site service areas,outdoor storage areas,waste storage, disposal facilities, and
transformer and utility vaults shall be located in an area not visible from a public street,
or shall be fully screened from view from a public street. The site plan depicts screened
trash enclosures that are only visible from internal to the site; all proposed
transformer/utility vaults shall also comply with this requirement.
3. A minimum of eighty(80) square feet of private,usable open space shall be provided for
each unit. This requirement can be satisfied through porches,patios, decks, and/or
enclosed yards. Landscaping, entryway and other accessways shall not count toward this
Page 10
Item 6. F144]
requirement. In circumstances where strict adherence to such standard would create
inconsistency with the purpose statements of this section,the Director may consider an
alternative design proposal through the alternative compliance provisions as set forth in
section 11-5B-5 of this title.Each multi family unit is proposed as a two-story unit with
the units on levels I &2 differing from those on levels 3 &4. According to a document
submitted by the Applicant, the lower units provide at least 132 square feet of private
open space in the form of private patios. This document also states the units on the upper
levels provide at least 251 square feet of private open space per unit in the form of
private patios. The submitted conceptual elevations show the fourth floor patio is
essentially a roof-top deck above the third floor. Based on the submitted elevations and
data provided by the Applicant,Staff supports the proposed private common open space
and finds it exceeds the required area.
4. For the purposes of this section,vehicular circulation areas,parking areas, and private
usable open space shall not be considered common open space. These areas were not
included in the common open space calculations for the site.
5.No recreational vehicles, snowmobiles,boats or other personal recreation vehicles shall
be stored on the site unless provided for in a separate,designated and screened area.
Applicant shall comply with this requirement.
6. The parking shall meet the requirements set forth in chapter 3, "Regulations Applying to
All Districts", of this title. See analysis in staff report below.
7. Developments with twenty(20)units or more shall provide the following:
a.A property management office.
b. A maintenance storage area.
c.A central mailbox location(including provisions for parcel mail) that provide safe
pedestrian and/or vehicular access.
d. A directory and map of the development at an entrance or convenient location for those
entering the development. (Ord. 18-1773,4-24-2018)
Applicant is proposing 18 units so this requirement is not applicable to this development.
The site plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application shall depict
these items.
C. Common Open Space Design Requirements:
1. A minimum area of outdoor common open space shall be provided as follows:
a. One hundred fifty(150) square feet for each unit containing five hundred(500)
or less square feet of living area.
b. Two hundred fifty(250) square feet for each unit containing more than five
hundred(500) square feet and up to one thousand two hundred(1,200) square
feet of living area.
c. Three hundred fifty(350) square feet for each unit containing more than one
thousand two hundred(1,200) square feet of living area.
2. Common open space shall be not less than four hundred(400) square feet in area, and shall
have a minimum length and width dimension of twenty feet(20').Each multi family unit
is proposed as greater than 1,200 square feet so 350 square feet of common open space
per unit is needed to meet the specific use standards. The maximum common open space
Page 11
Item 6. 145
required for the overall project is 44,415 square feet with 6,300 square feet of that needed
to satisfy the multi family standards. Because the project is relatively small, all open
space is proposed to be shared between the single and multi family residential units. The
open space shown on the submitted open space exhibit shows 48,824 square feet of total
qualified open space but does not include all areas that are qualifying per UDC
standards. However, based on the number of units, the inaccurate amount of open space
shown still meets all required open space area. With the pedestrian facilities proposed in
this project Staff finds it applicable for all of the residential units to share the common
open space proposed.
3. In phased developments,common open space shall be provided in each phase of the
development consistent with the requirements for the size and number of dwelling units.
This project is proposed to be developed in one (1)phase.
4. Unless otherwise approved through the conditional use process, common open space areas
shall not be adjacent to collector or arterial streets unless separated from the street by a
berm or constructed barrier at least four feet(4)in height,with breaks in the berm or
barrier to allow for pedestrian access. (Ord. 09-1394, 3-3-2009, eff.retroactive to 2-4-
2009). The buffers along Linder and Ustick Roads are not included in the open space
exhibit calculations at all so this area was not part of the area shown to satisfy the
common open space requirement for the multi family units.
D. Site Development Amenities:
1. All multi-family developments shall provide for quality of life,open space and recreation
amenities to meet the particular needs of the residents as follows:
a. Quality of life:
(1) Clubhouse.
(2)Fitness facilities.
(3)Enclosed bike storage.
(4)Public art such as a statue.
b. Open space:
(1) Open grassy area of at least fifty by one hundred feet(50 x 100) in size.
(2) Community garden.
(3)Ponds or water features.
(4)Plaza.
c. Recreation:
(1)Pool.
(2)Walking trails.
(3) Children's play structures.
(4) Sports courts.
2. The number of amenities shall depend on the size of multi-family development as follows:
a. For multi-family developments with less than twenty(20)units,two(2) amenities shall
be provided from two (2) separate categories.
Page 12
Item 6. F146]
b. For multi-family development between twenty(20)and seventy-five(75)units,three
(3) amenities shall be provided,with one from each category.
c. For multi-family development with seventy-five(75)units or more, four(4)amenities
shall be provided,with at least one from each category.
d. For multi-family developments with more than one hundred(100)units,the decision-
making body shall require additional amenities commensurate to the size of the
proposed development.
3. The decision-making body shall be authorized to consider other improvements in addition to
those provided under this subsection D,provided that these improvements provide a similar
level of amenity. (Ord. 05-1170, 8-30-2005, eff. 9-15-2005)
Based on 18 proposed units, a minimum of two(2) amenities are required. The Applicant is
proposing a shared plaza and public art from two categories to satisfy this requirement.
E. Landscaping Requirements:
1. Development shall meet the minimum landscaping requirements in accord with
chapter 3, "Regulations Applying to All Districts", of this title.
2. All street facing elevations shall have landscaping along their foundation. The
foundation landscaping shall meet the following minimum standards:
a. The landscaped area shall be at least three feet(Y)wide.
b. For every three(3) linear feet of foundation,an evergreen shrub having a minimum
mature height of twenty-four inches(24") shall be planted.
c. Ground cover plants shall be planted in the remainder of the landscaped area.
The landscape plans provided appear to show compliance with these landscape requirements and
will also be verified at the time of CZC submittal(see Exhibit VII.D).
G. Access(UDC 11-3A-3, I1-3H-4) &Private Streets (UDC 11-3F-4):
Access from the adjacent arterials(N. Linder Road and W.Ustick Road) is proposed via one 25-
foot wide driveway connection to each arterial street. The driveway to Ustick Road shall be
restricted to right-in/right-out,per ACHD, and passes through the multi-family portion of the
project where it connects to the parking drive aisle for the multi-family units and then connects to
the proposed private street. The driveway access to Linder Road is a temporary full access and is
located approximately 360 feet south of the Linder/Ustick intersection. ACHD has approved both
of these arterial access points through analysis of driveway analyses made by the Applicant's
traffic engineer.No Traffic Impact Study(TIS)was required because less than 100 residential
units are proposed.
The other public access points to the site are proposed via extending a public local street through
the site.N. Zion Park Avenue is being extended from the south property boundary and W.
Pebblestone Drive is being extended from the east property boundary in the northeast corner of
the site. The proposed local street is shown as 32 feet wide with 5.5-foot wide attached sidewalk
within 47 feet of right-of-way. This does not meet ACHD standards so the Applicant will be
required to revise the plat to show the public road as 33 feet wide with 5-foot wide attached
sidewalk. This revision can be easily made as the Applicant is providing the correct amount of
right-of-way; no revisions to the plat are needed to make this correction.
A private street is proposed through the west portion of the site for vehicular access to some of
the residential units. The proposed private street and local street are functioning as alleys for a
Page 13
Item 6. F147]
majority of the proposed residential units as the main entrance to each home is located opposite of
the garage access. As discussed in section V.E above,the private street meets UDC 11-317-4
standards by being proposed as at least 26 feet wide.
As noted,the Applicant is proposing three(3)detached homes in the southeast corner of the site.
These three lots take access from a common drive off of the local street extension,N. Zion Park
Avenue. The proposal for the number of units and access complies with code requirements.
In general, and consistent with ACHD analysis and approvals,Staff supports the proposed
road layout and arterial access points because the proposal offers appropriate site circulation
while also providing avenues to minimize cut-through traffic to the east and south through
driveway connections to Linder and Ustick Roads.
H. Parking(UDC 11-3C):
Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC Table 11-
3C-6 for multi-family and single-family dwellings based on the number of bedrooms per unit.
Based on the proposal of 18 3-bedroom apartment units, 36 parking spaces total are required to be
provided—one space per unit must be covered,per UDC standards. The submitted site plan
shows 44 total parking spaces for the multi-family portion of the site.Each 2-story unit that
enters on the first level is proposed with a two-car garage. The 2-story units that enter on the
third level appear utilize the surface spaces but none of these spaces are shown to be covered.
Therefore, the submitted site plan does not show compliance with code requirements. The
Applicant should revise the site plan to show at least nine (9) covered spaces for the upper level
units to satisfy this requirement. If this is not desired, the Applicant can provide a single-car
garage space on the first level for each proposed unit.
NOTE: Staff is recommending a loss of two units along the east side of the building. This
recommended change would reduce the parking requirement by 4 total spaces, two covered and
two uncovered. However, due to the overall issues with insufficient parking for multi family
projects, Staff does not recommend a reduction in parking.
The single-family portion of the site consists of 43 homes but the bedroom count of each is not
known at this time. However, each home is shown with a two-car garage and a 20' x 22' parking
pad that allows for a 4-bedroom home,per UDC standards.In addition, the submitted site plan
shows 35 additional off-street parking spaces around the private street portion of the site meant
for guest parking for the single-family homes. The proposed 33 foot wide local street also allows
on-street parking where no driveways exist. Staff supports the proposed amount of parking for
the single-family portion of the project because it exceeds UDC minimum requirements.
The commercial area proposed in the northwest corner of the site is shown with two buildings
totaling approximately 12,000 square feet requiring at least 24 parking spaces based on the
nonresidential parking ratio of 1 space for every 500 square feet of commercial gross floor area.
According to the submitted site plan, 25 parking spaces are being proposed. Each space appears
to meet the minimum dimensional standards of 9'x 19'as well. Complete analysis of the
proposed commercial area will take place with the first CZC application for the commercial site.
Initial analysis shows compliance with all UDC dimensional standards except for how the drive
aisle along the north and east of the commercial site functions. The drive aisle along the north
boundary of the site is shown as 12 feet wide which implies a one-way drive aisle and it leads to
the drive aisle along the east boundary of the site that is shown as approximately 26 feet wide
which implies two-way traffic. There does not appear to be a need for the eastern drive aisle to
allow two-way traffic if the north drive aisle is a one-way exit in this area.
Page 14
Item 6. ■
The commercial area depicted on the site plan is conceptual in nature so future submittals and
proposed uses will dictate more detail in the submitted plans. At this point, Staff is not
recommending any specific revisions to the commercial area of the site for the reasons noted.
I. Pathways (UDC 11-3A-8):
A 10-foot wide multi-use pathway is required along the Creason Lateral in the southwest corner
of the property. This pathway is slated to connect to the existing arterial sidewalk along Linder
Road and to future improvements to the south for a more complete regional pathway network.
The Applicant is proposing the multi-use pathway in an appropriate location but its connection to
the southern boundary does not appear to match with location of the regional pathway segment
approved with Creason Creek No. 2 directly to the south. Upon review of the modified landscape
plans for that plat, it appears the Applicant should shift the regional pathway stub to the west to
be closer to the Creason Lateral. Final approval of the pathway connections will be verified by
the Park's Department and our pathways coordinator. In the interim, Staff is recommending the
Applicant show this shift of the regional pathway prior to the Council hearing to better match
adjacent approvals to the south.
In addition to the proposed regional pathway segment, the proposed sidewalks in this project are
essentially micro pathways that connect throughout the entire development and traverse through
every open space area as well. They offer increased pedestrian connection and provide for the
inclusion of a majority alley loaded residential units. The proposed pedestrian facilities offer
connectivity to and from nearby subdivisions as well as safe access to all amenities and the
commercial area in the northwest corner of the project.
J. Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17):
Attached sidewalks at least 5 feet wide are proposed along the proposed local street extension, in
accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-17. Other sidewalks are proposed throughout the
rest of the site for added pedestrian connectivity, as discussed throughout this report.
The sidewalks in this development create connections throughout the entire project including to
and from the commercial portion of the site. The proposed large open space area and regional
pathway in the southwest corner of the development are also easily accessible because of these
sidewalks. The sidewalks along N. Linder Road and W. Ustick Road are existing; the Applicant is
required to maintain and/or repair any of this sidewalk that is disturbed during construction.As
stated above,Staff supports the sidewalk and pedestrian circulation element of this project.
In consideration of pedestrian safety as well as traffic calming for the site, Staff is recommending
that all pedestrian crossings that cross the private street and any drive aisle be constructed with
brickpavers, stamped concrete, or equal, as outlined in UDC 11-3A-19B.4.b.
K. Landscaping(UDC 11-3B):
A 25-foot wide street buffer is required adjacent to N.Linder Road and W. Ustick Road, arterial
streets, and to be landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. A 25-foot wide easement
is depicted on the plat adjacent to both arterials starting at the back of the existing attached
sidewalk along each arterial,meeting the UDC requirements for the minimum width.
UDC 11-3B-7C.2 dictates that required landscape buffers for residential subdivisions shall be
located on common lots and owned and maintained by a homeowner's association. The
Applicant's proposal to include this required buffer in an easement does not comply with this
code section. Therefore, the Applicant should revise the plat to show the required arterial
landscape buffers adjacent to the residential portions of the project within a common lot at
least 25 feet in width. The required landscape buffer adjacent to the commercial site can
remain in an easement per this code section.
Page 15
Item 6. ■
In addition, an area of the Creason Lateral and Kellogg Drain irrigation easements underlay a
large portion of the landscape buffer along Linder Road that is currently shown with trees. Staff
anticipates the applicable irrigation district will not allow trees within their easements so the
landscape plans should be revised to show the removal of trees from the easement area.
Furthermore, code requires that if a required landscape buffer is encumbered by easements, at
least 5 feet of landscaping be proposed outside of the easement area to include the required
number of trees. Because of the extensive impediment these two irrigation facilities create in
this area of the site,Staff does not find it feasible to comply with this code requirement in its
fullest extent as it would require half of the site to shift to the east reducing the width of the
mew in the center of the development. Staff finds the trees that are allowed outside of the
easement area, the placement of the access point to Linder, and the separation of the
townhome units from Linder offer appropriate and adequate landscaping and buffering.
However, to formalize this finding and comply with code, the Applicant should apply for
Alternative Compliance with the first final plat application.
Landscaping is required along all pathways (including micro-pathways) in accord with the
standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C. The total lineal feet of all pathways with the required and
proposed number of trees is included on the first sheet of the submitted landscape plans.
According to the submitted landscape plans, the proposed regional pathway in the southwest
corner of the site is also within the Kellogg Drain irrigation easement which generally does not
allow trees and minimal landscaping. The submitted landscape plans show no trees proposed
within this easement.
Common open space is required to be landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC H-
3G-3E. The total square footage of common open space and the required number of trees to
demonstrate compliance with UDC standards is included in the Landscape Calculations table and
shows compliance with code requirements.
The proposed C-C zoning district requires a 25-foot landscape buffer to any residential district.
According to the submitted plans, a 20 foot buffer is proposed to be shared over the commercial
property boundary—10 feet on the commercial property and 10 feet on the residential side. It
appears the additional required S feet of area can be easily accommodated and will not require
any revision to the placement of buildings. In addition, in order to allow the commercial site to be
more viable and the fact the proposed development is planned together, Staff approves of the
proposal to share the width of the 25 foot landscape buffer across the shared property line.
L. Waterways(UDC 11-3A-�:
As noted throughout the report,the subject site has two waterways subject to review—the
Kellogg Drain and the Creason Lateral. UDC 11-3A-6 dictates these waterways be piped.
So, the Applicant is proposing to pipe both waterways to help with the usable area of the site. The
Applicant is also proposing to reroute the Kellogg Drain because its easement would greatly
encumber the site if left in its current position. The Applicant is proposing to move it closer to the
southern property boundary and underneath a segment of the public road and private street; it is
then proposed to move north and connect to the existing section of the drain that is piped and
currently passes under Linder Road. Staff supports the proposal to pipe and vegetate these
waterways.
In addition, a majority of the site contains floodplain which will require specific permits and
building requirements. Public Works and Land Development will be the departments to handle
these reviews as final platting and building permits are submitted.
Page 16
Item 6. ■
A portion of one of the building lots (Lot 2, Block 1) is shown on the preliminary plat and site
plan within the floodplain area. The building footprint is not so this technically complies with
City and floodplain standards. However, to ensure the future homeowner has the easiest access
to use their property, Staff recommends this 6-unit townhome building be shifted to the north to
get as much of the building lot out of the floodplain as possible. There is adequate room on the
north side of this building for this to occur without any other changes to the development.
M. Qualified Open Space (UDC 11-3G):
A minimum of 10%qualified open space meeting the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3B is
required for the single-family portion of the site.Analysis on the open space area required and
proposed for the multi-family portion of the site is above in Section V.F. Based on the proposed
plat of 8.75 acres, a minimum of 0.88 acres of qualified common open space should be provided
to satisfy this requirement.
The Applicant has revised the open space exhibit per Staffs request to depict the qualified
areas and accurately note the amount of qualified open space for the project.According to the
revised exhibit, the Applicant is proposing 1.64 acres of qualified open space, approximately
18.7%. The majority of the qualified open space consists of the large open space area in the
southwest corner of the site, the large central mew, and half of the required arterial street
buffers. This area exceeds the minimum UDC requirements.
Staff finds the proposed open space is adequate in amount and placement to satisfy all code
requirements.
N. Qualified Site Amenities (UDC 11-3G):
Based on the area of the proposed plat(8.75 acres), a minimum of one(1) qualified site amenity
is required to be provided per the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3C.
The applicant proposes two(2) qualified amenities to satisfy the requirements in this section of
the UDC, a 10-foot multi-use pathway segment and a children's play structure. The proposed
amenities meet the minimum UDC standards.
O. Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. Fencing is proposed
as shown on the landscape plan and appears to meet UDC standards.
P. Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual):
As discussed in the comprehensive plan policies analysis, Staff believes the submitted elevations
meet the required Architectural Standards. The applicant has not submitted a concurrent design
review application for the attached residential buildings. With the final plat application,the
Applicant should also submit an Administrative Design Review(DES) application for these units.
The Applicant also submitted conceptual elevations for the commercial buildings. These
elevations show multiple field materials of brick, concrete wainscot, and lap siding with roof
parapet variations and wall modulation—in all,the conceptual elevations appear to also meet the
ASM.A separate DES will be required for the Commercial portion of the development with
future CZC submittals to verify ASM compliance.

specifically the purpose statement;
Stafffinds the proposed zoning map amendment and request for the development of multiple
housing types will contribute to the range of housing opportunities available within the City

Because of the unique and distinct project proposed, the proposed addition of more
commercial zoning, and the varying types of housing options proposed, Staff finds the
annexation is in the best interest of the City.
B. Preliminary Plat Findings:
In consideration of a preliminary plat,combined preliminary and final plat, or short plat,
the decision-making body shall make the following findings:
1. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;

with the adopted Comprehensive Plan in regard to land use, density, transportation, and
pedestrian connectivity. (Please see Comprehensive Plan Policies in, Section V of this report
for more information)
2. Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to accommodate
the proposed development;
Staff finds that public services will be provided to the subject property with development. (See
Section VIII of the Staff Report for more details from public service providers)
3. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the City's
capital improvement program;
Because City water and sewer and any other utilities will be provided by the development at
their own cost, Staff finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital
improvement funds.
4. There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
Staff finds there is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development based upon comments from the public service providers(i.e.,Police,Fire,ACHD,

5. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare;
and,
Staff is not aware of any health, safety, or environmental problems associated with the platting
of this property. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis and has approved the

6. The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features.
Staff is unaware of any significant natural, scenic, or historic features that exist on this site
that require preserving.
C. Conditional Use Permit Findings:
The commission shall base its determination on the conditional use permit request upon the
following:
1. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and meet all the
dimensional and development regulations in the district in which the use is located.
Staff finds that the submitted site plan shows compliance with all dimensional and
development regulations in the R-I5 zoning district in which it resides except for those noted
and required to be revised.
Page 47
Item 6. 1 11
2. That the proposed use will be harmonious with the Meridian comprehensive plan and in
accord with the requirements of this title.
Stafffinds the proposed use of multi family residential, in conjunction with the other
residential housing types proposed, is in accord with the comprehensive plan designation of
Mixed-Use Community and the requirements of this title.
3. That the design,construction, operation and maintenance will be compatible with other
uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the
general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential character of
the same area.
Despite the proposed use being different than the residential uses closest to the subject site,
Stafffinds the design, construction, and proposed operation and maintenance will be
compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and should not adversely change the
essential character of the same area, if all conditions of approval are met.
4. That the proposed use,if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed,will not
adversely affect other property in the vicinity.
Stafffinds the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of approval imposed, will not
adversely affect other property in the vicinity.
5. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, streets, schools,parks,police and fire protection,drainage
structures,refuse disposal,water,and sewer.
Stafffinds the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services as all services are readily available, the nearby arterial street is widened to its full
width, and the Applicant is required to construct a new public road extension to
accommodate additional traffic flow.
6. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional costs for public facilities and
services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
All public facilities and services are readily available for the subject site so Stafffinds that
the proposed use will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community or create
excessive additional costs for public facilities and services.
7. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes,materials,equipment and
conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons,property or the general
welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic,noise,smoke,fumes,glare or odors.
Although traffic will likely increase in the vicinity with the proposed use, all major roadways
adjacent to the site are already at their full width and the proposed layout offers the best
opportunity for safe circulation. Therefore, Stafffinds the proposed use will not be
detrimental to any persons,property, or the general welfare.
Page 48
Item 6. F182]
8. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction,loss or damage of a natural,
scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance.(Ord. 05-1170,8-30-
2005,eff. 9-15-2005)
Staff is not aware of any such features; the proposed use should not result in damage of any
such features.

In order to approve the application,the director shall find the following:
1. The design of the private street meets the requirements of this article;
The Director finds that the proposed private street design meets the requirements.
2. Granting approval of the private street would not cause damage,hazard,or nuisance,or
other detriment to persons,property,or uses in the vicinity; and

nuisance, or other detriment to persons,property, or uses in the vicinity if all conditions of
approval are met.
3. The use and location of the private street shall not conflict with the comprehensive plan
and/or the regional transportation plan.(Ord. 05-1170,8-30-2005,eff.9-15-2005)

comprehensive plan or the regional transportation plan because the proposed design meets
all requirements and the project is also extending the required public road through the site.
4. The proposed residential development(if applicable)is a mew or gated development.
(Ord. 10-1463, 11-3-2010,eff. 11-8-2010)

majority of the units facing green space instead of the private street.

V. STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed drive-through establishment is associated with a restaurant use in a 9,800 square foot
multi-tenant building located within 300-feet of a residential zoning district,which requires
Conditional Use Permit approval(CUP)in the C-G zoning district per UDC Table 11-213-2 and 11-4-
3-11A.1. The residential district(and future multi-family apartments) directly abuts the site at the
south boundary.
This site currently consists of 5.31-acres of land. A preliminary plat(H-2017-0058)was approved
which includes this site;however, a final plat has not yet been approved to create the lot for this site
which is intended to consist of 0.88-acre. If the portion of this site that is the subject of this
application develops prior to a final plat being recorded to subdivide the overall property,the
Developer is responsible for constructing all of the street buffer improvements on the existing
parcel along N.Webb Way and E.Fairview Ave. These improvements consist of a 20-foot wide
street buffer along N.Webb Way,landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-313-7C and
11-3B-12C; and a 25-foot wide street buffer along E. Fairview Ave.with a detached 5-foot wide
sidewalk,landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-313-7C.If the property hasn't been
subdivided prior to submittal of an application for Certificate of Zoning Compliance for the
proposed use,these street buffers and associated improvements should be included on the site
and landscape plans and constructed with development of the site.
Development Agreement: There is an existing Development Agreement(DA)that governs future
development of this site(H-2017-0058—Inst. 2018-000751). The proposed development plan is in
substantial conformance with the previously approved conceptual development plan for this site as
required.
The DA requires the commercial/office buildings within this development to be arranged to
create some form of common,usable area,such as plaza or green space.The DA also requires
community serving facilities such as hospitals,churches,schools,parks, daycares,civic
buildings, or public safety facilities to be provided within the development.Although Staff is
supportive of the proposed development,the Developers should plan for these areas and uses in
the remainder of the development.
Page 3
Item 7. F218]
Access: Access is proposed from two (2) future driveways from N. Webb Way along the north and
south boundaries of the site. The driveway along the south boundary labeled as future Wilson Rd. is
not planned to be extended east of Webb so the name should be removed and it should be constructed
as a typical driveway. A cross-access/ingress-egress easement should be granted to the property
to the south for interconnectivity; a recorded copy of the agreement should be submitted prior
to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy of the proposed structure.
Pedestrian Pathways/Sidewalks: The DA requires pedestrian connections to be constructed
between buildings in the form of pathways distinguished from vehicular driving surfaces
through the use of pavers,colored or scored concrete, or bricks; the site plan should be revised
to include these and should also include a pedestrian connection to the future residential
development to the south.A minimum 5-foot wide walkway is depicted from the perimeter
sidewalk/pathway along N.Webb Way to the main building entrance as set forth in UDC 11-3A-
19B.4a.
Specific Use Standards: The proposed drive-through establishment is subject to the specific use
standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-11,Drive-Through Establishment. A site plan is required to be
submitted that demonstrates safe pedestrian and vehicular access and circulation on the site
and between adjacent properties.At a minimum,the plan is required to demonstrate compliance
with the following standards: Staff's analysis is in italics.
1) Stacking lanes have sufficient capacity to prevent obstruction of driveways, drive aisles and
the public right-of-way by patrons;
The stacking lane appears to have capacity for at least seven (7) vehicles and shouldn't obstruct
driveways, drive aisles within the site or adjacent public right-of-way.
2)The stacking lane shall be a separate lane from the circulation lanes needed for access and
parking, except stacking lanes may provide access to designated employee parking.
The stacking lane meets this requirement.
3)The stacking lane shall not be located within ten(10) feet of any residential district or existing
residence;
The stacking lane is not located within 10'of any residential district or residence.
4)Any stacking lane greater than one hundred(100) feet in length shall provide for an escape
lane; and
The stacking lane exceeds 100'in length and an escape lane is proposed.
5)The site should be designed so that the drive-through is visible from a public street for
surveillance purposes.
The drive-through window is visible from N. Webb Way, a collector street adjacent to the west
boundary of the site.
Based on the above analysis, Staff deems the proposed drive-through in compliance with the
specific use standards as required.
The site plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application should
identify the menu and speaker location(if applicable),and window location as set forth in
UDC 11-4-3-11B.
A 6-foot tall sight obscuring fence is required to be provided where a stacking lane or window
location adjoins a residential district or an existing residence as set forth in UDC 11-4-3-11D. A
6-foot tall sight obscuring fence is depicted on the site plan as required.
Page 4
Item 7. F219]
The proposed restaurant is subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-49 Restaurant,
which requires at a minimum, one (1)parking space to be provided for every 250 square feet of gross
floor area. The site plan depicts a total of 48 off-street parking spaces in accord with and
exceeding this standard; however,most of the parking is depicted outside the boundary of this
site.The boundary of the site/future lot should be expanded so that all of the required parking
is on this site.
Hours of Operation: The hours of operation for the proposed use are limited to 6:00 am to
11:00 pm in the C-G zoning district per UDC 11-213-313 because the property abuts a future
residential use to the south.
Dimensional Standards: Future development should be consistent with the dimensional standards
listed in UDC Table 11-2B-3 for the C-G zoning district.
Parking: Off-street vehicle parking is proposed in accord with UDC standards as discussed above.
A minimum one(1)bicycle parking space is required to be provided for every 25 vehicle spaces or
portion thereof per UDC 11-3C-6G;bicycle parking facilities are required to comply with the location
and design standards listed in UDC 11-3C-5C. Parking for five (5)bicycles is depicted on the site
plan in front of the building. A detail of the bicycle rack should be depicted on a revised site plan
submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application meeting the aforementioned
standards.
Landscaping: Street buffer landscaping is required as noted above.
Parking lot landscaping is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-313-
8C. The landscape plan does not include the entire site. The plan submitted with the Certificate of
Zoning Compliance application should depict the entire site and landscaping in accord with UDC
standards.
A 25-foot wide buffer to residential uses is required to be provided to the adjacent residential
property to the south,landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-9C.The buffer area is
required to be comprised of a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees, shrubs,lawn, or other
vegetative groundcover and shall result in a barrier that allows trees to touch within 5 years of
planting.A 15-foot wide landscape buffer and 20-foot wide driveway is depicted on the site plan
along the southern boundary of the site between the drive-through and future residential uses.
With landscaping that provides a dense buffer, Staff is of the opinion the driveway will assist in
providing a spatial buffer and does not recommend a wider landscaped buffer is required.
Mechanical Equipment: All mechanical equipment on the back of the building and outdoor service
and equipment should be incorporated into the overall design of buildings and landscaping so that the
visual and acoustic impacts of these functions are fully contained and out of view from adjacent
properties and public streets as set forth in UDC 11-3A-12.
Building Elevations: Conceptual building elevations for the proposed single-story structure were
submitted as shown in Section VII.0 that incorporate a mix of materials consisting of wood siding,
corrugated metal siding, stucco, concrete,metal, glazing and stone accents.
The proposed elevations are not approved with this application; final design shall be consistent
with the design standards listed in the Architectural Standards Manual and with the
Development Agreement.
Certificate of Zoning Compliance&Design Review: A Certificate of Zoning Compliance and
Design Review application is required to be submitted for the proposed use/structure prior to
submittal of a building permit application to ensure consistency with the conditions in Section VII,
UDC standards and design standards.
