V. STAFF ANALYSIS
This is a proposal to rezone from I-L to O-T to allow for the construction of duplex.
The subject property is a vacant lot comprising 0.16-acres which is zoned I-L. Along NW lst St. (east
side of the property)is predominately single family,multifamily and duplexes,nearly all of which is
at least 50 years of age (with many dating back to the early 1900s).West of the property is a mixture
of industrial uses,a food bank,religious facility and residential,both single family and attached.
North of the property is single family attached and multifamily. One of the properties approximately
100 feet to the north is already zoned O-T (631 NW 1 sT St). Railroad tracks are approximately 200
feet south of the property.An alley borders the property along the west.
1. Rezoning
The applicant proposes to rezone from I-L to O-T to construct a duplex.A duplex is a principally-
permitted use in the O-T zoning district and the zoning would be in conformance with the FLUM
as described below.
The City may require a development agreement(DA) in conjunction with a rezoning pursuant to
Idaho Code section 67-6511A. As this property is already within the City,the infrastructure
surrounding the property has already been installed,and all other requirements have been
addressed through pertinent regulations, staff comments,and the design review required for the
duplex, staff is not recommending a development agreement with this rezoning.
2. Future Land Use Map Designation(https:llwww.meridiancitE.or /�comQplan)
The FLUM recommends the property for Old Town. This designation includes the historic
downtown and the true community center. Sample uses include offices,retail and lodging,
theatres,restaurants, and service retail for surrounding residents and visitors.A variety of
residential uses are also envisioned and could include reuse of existing buildings,new
construction of multi-family residential over ground floor retail or office uses.
The purpose of the O-T district is to accommodate and encourage further intensification of the
historical city center in accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the O-T
district is to delineate a centralized activity center and to encourage its renewal,revitalization and
growth as the public,quasi-public, cultural, financial and recreational center of the city. Public
and quasi-public uses integrated with general business, and medium high to high density
residential is encouraged to provide the appropriate mix and intensity of activities necessary to
establish a truly urban city center.
The applicant proposes to construct a duplex(2units)on the subject property once the rezone
process is concluded.Although the Plan does specifically mention multi-family residential over
ground floor retail or office uses,the property is surrounded on three sides by existing one story
residential and multifamily with only a small number of industrial or non-residential uses in close
Page 4
Page 281
Item#20.
proximity. Although a work/live situation is feasible,because the subject property is on a
residential street with no commercial frontage, staff finds the proposed residential use in this area
appropriate.
3. Comprehensive Plan Policies(https:llwww.meridianciU.or /g compplan):
• Encourage diverse housing options suitable for various income levels,household sizes, and
lifestyle preferences. (2.01.01)
This application is for a rezoning from I-L to O-T to allow a duplex on an infill site. This would
allow for more diversity in housing.
• Maintain a range of residential land use designations that allow diverse lot sizes,housing types,
and densities. (2.01.01 C)
A duplex would increase the diversity in lot sizes, housing types and densities.
• Encourage the development of high quality, dense residential and mixed-use areas near in and
around Downtown,near employment,large shopping centers,public open spaces and parks, and
along major transportation corridors,as shown on the Future Land Use Map. (2.02.01E)
The subject property is an infill site near the downtown core, within a large area which is
designated for Old Town zoning by the Comprehensive Plan, near N. Meridian Rd., a principal
arterial, and is within walking distance of a large amount of goods, services and jobs.
• Encourage infill development. (3.03.01E.)
The property is vacant property, surrounded by existing residential development on all sides,
except for a body repair shop directly to the west. This is an infill development.
• Ensure development is connected to City of Meridian water and sanitary sewer systems and the
extension to and through said developments are constructed in conformance with the City of
Meridian Water and Sewer System Master Plans in effect at the time of development. (3.03.03A)
This project can be serviced by City of Meridian water and sewer, and all infrastructure will be
designed in conformance with City standards.
4. Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
The property is presently vacant.
5. Proposed Use Analysis:
The applicant proposes to rezone from I-L to O-T to construct a duplex. This is a principally-
permitted use in the O-T zoning district subject to applicable standards for development in the
traditional neighborhood districts.
6. Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2):
UDC 11-2D-4 requires a minimum height of 35 feet and all buildings should be a minimum of 2-
stories. There are no minimum setbacks in the O-T zoning district. The proposed elevations
reflect a building that is 2-stories.
7. Access(UDC 11-3A-3, 11-3H-4):
The subject property would be alley-loaded. This brings the building closer to the street and
removes garages and driveways from the front view of the home. This is consistent with new
urbanist principles in an old town zone district. Access will occur via an alley at the west which
connects from W. Broadway to W. Railroad St. At present,there is a dumpster blocking the alley
north of the property. This requires access to occur by traveling southbound on NW 2"d St and
Page 5
Page 282
Item#20.
then eastbound on W. Railroad St,which is a one-way street. There is presently a fence in the
location where the driveway is proposed,but staff did confirm by a site visit that the 16 ft.wide
alley to the location of the proposed driveway is adequate.ACHD and Fire have reviewed the
proposed access configuration and have not expressed comments or concerns.
8. Parking(UDC 11-3C):
The applicant proposes a duplex with two-bedroom units.UDC 11-3C-6 requires 2 parking
spaces per dwelling unit with at least one in an enclosed garage, other spaces may be enclosed or
a minimum 10-foot by 20-foot parking pad.
The concept site plan reflects two one-car garages with a driveway area of 30 ft. long by 44 ft.
wide. In addition,there is plenty of on-street guest parking along NW 1st Street. The parking
provided meets the minimum requirements of 11-3C. As required per UDC 11-3C-5,all off street
parking areas and driveways into and through a parking area shall be improved with a compacted
gravel base,not less than four(4) inches thick, surfaced with asphaltic pavement.
9. Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17):
There is presently no sidewalk, curb or gutter along NW 1 st St. The applicant will be required to
install a sidewalk a minimum of 5 ft. in width as required per UDC 11-3A-17.
10. Landscaping(UDC 11-3B):
A landscape buffer is not required for a duplex in the O-T zone district. The UDC does not
regulate landscaping on residential lots.
11. Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
There is existing fencing along the side and rear property line. The rear fencing would need to be
removed to accommodate parking at the alley-loaded structure. Any new or relocated fencing
should comply with fencing regulations per UDC 11-3A-7.
12. Utilities (UDC 11-3A-21):
Public services are available to accommodate the proposed development.
13. Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual):
A conceptual elevation was provided with this application. The elevation indicates a structure
with pitched roofs, fishscale accents,clapboard siding, shuttered windows and a small ground
level patio on each side.As is required by the O-T zoning district,the units are at least two-
stories, although the elevations do not indicate whether the minimum required 35' height is met.
Design review is required prior to building permit. The dwelling units will be reviewed against
the Architectural Standards Manual(ASM). The ASM for residential requires visually heavier
and more massive elements or materials, such as stone or masonry,primarily at the base of
buildings, and lighter elements and materials such as siding.Also,the ASM states primary
building entries to be clearly defined using any unique combination of architectural elements,
materials,or fagade modulation meeting other architectural standards in the Manual.
The elevations show a combined front entrance inset for both units with minimal overhang. This
project is near the downtown core and is being proposed for Old-Town zoning.A key element of
old-town design is walkability in residential areas,bringing houses to the street with narrow
setbacks(or build-to's) and offering a sense of community and gathering places through the uses
of useable porches. In order to set the precedent for how NW I"develops in the future, staff
recommends a condition of approval that at time of design review submittal the structure shall

Item#20.
include a ground-level covered porch for each unit(individual or combined)of sufficient size to
allow covered seating at the front.
