V. STAFF ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan:
COMMERCIAL LAND USES
This designation will provide a full range of commercial uses to serve area residents and visitors.
Desired uses may include retail,restaurants,personal and professional services, and office uses, as
well as appropriate public and quasi-public uses. Sample zoning include: C-N, C-C, and C-G.
The subject site is one of multiple commercial zoned and designated properties that frame the
intersection of Ten Mile and McMillan Roads. Therefore, there are a myriad of commercial uses
existing and under construction with more to come as this area continues to develop. The proposed
use of a financial institution with a drive-through fits within the professional services use designated
within the Commercial designation in the Comprehensive Plan, as noted above. The proposed use, in
conjunction with the already approved or constructed uses, satisfy the general Commercial future
land use designation for this area. Staff finds the proposed project is generally consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
SITE DESIGN AND CODE ANALYSIS
The proposed drive-through is for a financial institution that is within 300-feet of a residential use to
the east(McMillan Independent Senior Living Facility)currently under construction(H-2020-0004),
which requires Conditional Use Permit approval(CUP)per UDC Table 11-2B-2. There are also a
number of vehicular dominated uses to the south (a vehicle washing facility and a fuel sales facility)
but they did not require CUP approval as they are specific uses that are principally permitted in the
C-G zoning district. Nonetheless, the nature of the nearby uses are vehicle dominated similar to that
of a drive-through which should be taken into account with the analysis of this project.
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 subject site
and between adjacent properties. At a minimum,the plan is required to demonstrate compliance with
the following standards: Staffs 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 proposed drive-through has a one-way drive aisle that circles the proposed building and
leads to four(4) covered drive-through lanes for drive-up services for the bank. Therefore, the
stacking lane is approximately 185 feet in length from the start of the aisle to the drive-up
facilities. Due to the site design and length of available stacking Staff believes the stacking lane
has sufficient capacity to serve the use without obstructing driveways and drive aisles by patrons.
The Applicant should ensure there is adequate signage to direct patrons through the one-way
stacking lane.
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 designed employee parking.
Per the submitted site plan, the stacking lane is separate from any circulation lanes on the subject
site. Staff does not foresee the stacking lanes impeding the circulation lanes, especially due to the
proposed design and length of the stacking lane.
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.
Page 3
4)Any stacking lane greater than one hundred(100) feet in length shall provide for an escape
lane; and
The stacking lane is approximately 185 feet in length so an escape lane is required and proposed.
According to the submitted plans, a minimum 12 foot wide escape lane is proposed outside of the
drive-through lane sphere of influence. Staff finds the submitted plans depict compliance with this
standard.
5)The site should be designed so that the drive-through is visible from a public street for
surveillance purposes.
Both the stacking lane and the drive-up windows/kiosks are visible from Ten Mile Road to the
west because the lane and services are on the west and south side of the building, respectively.
Based on the above analysis, Staff deems the proposed drive-through to be in compliance
with the specific use standards as required.
The proposed use of a financial institution is subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-
3-17. The proposed site plan appears to show compliance with all of the standards and will be further
verified with the future Certificate of Zoning Compliance(CZC) application. At the time of CZC
review,Meridian Police Department will also assist in verification of compliance to the specific use
standards and with UDC 11-3A-16 for self-service uses, specifically in regards to visibility of the
drive-up ATM or any walk-up ATM. Staff has analyzed the submitted site and landscape plans
against UDC 11-3A-16 and finds the proposed site design to be compliant.
Access: Two driveway accesses are proposed to the site via the shared north/south driveway along the
east boundary of the site;this access is a shared access for all of the properties within this commercial
subdivision that front on the abutting arterial streets(the senior living facility does not access this
shared drive aisle). The shared access drive connects to both Ten Mile Road south of the subject site
and also to Milano Drive north of the site.
Parking: A minimum of one(1)parking space is required to be provided for every 500 square feet of
gross floor area for nonresidential uses. The proposed building is shown as 3,375 square feet
requiring a minimum of 7 parking spaces—the submitted site plan shows 38 proposed parking spaces
exceeding UDC minimums.
The recorded Declaration of Easements, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for this development
establish cross-parking and cross-access easements for lots within the development(Inst. 2021-
129579). This lot is proposed to share some drive aisles and parking areas with the lot directly to the
north that is currently undeveloped. Due to the existing agreement and easements, staff finds the
parking is sufficient for the proposed use.
A minimum of 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. A bike rack is labeled on the site plan and its design
will be verified with the future CZC application.

Pedestrian Walkways:No pedestrian walkway is depicted on the site plan from the
arterial/perimeter sidewalk along N. Ten Mile Rd.to the main building entrance as required by UDC
11-3A-1913.4a. Therefore,the Applicant should revise the site plan to depict this required sidewalk.
Specifically, Staff recommends this sidewalk connection be made near the northwest corner of the
site to add the sidewalk connection to the proposed sidewalk on the north side of the building. See
snip below:

Consistent with UDC 11-3A-19B.4b,the pedestrian facility should be distinguished from the
vehicular driving surface through the use of pavers,colored or scored concrete,or bricks where this
pedestrian connection traverses the drive-through lane.
Landscaping: Parking lot landscaping is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed
in UDC 11-313-8C. Landscaping is depicted on the landscape plan in Section VII.B in planter islands
within the parking area as required.
In addition, a minimum 5-foot wide landscape buffer is required to be provided along the perimeter of
the parking or other vehicular use areas as set forth in UDC 11-3B-8C.1. The submitted landscape
plan shows the required perimeter buffers along the north, east, and south boundaries. However, it is
unclear what the reddish/brown hatched design is depicting on the submitted landscape plan for the
planting areas. With the CZC submittal,the landscape plan will be reviewed to ensure
compliance with the landscape material standards outlined in UDC 11-313-5.
Street buffer landscaping, including a sidewalk, along N. Ten Mile Rd. was installed with
development of the overall subdivision. The submitted landscape plans show this buffer remaining as
it currently exists. Therefore,the submitted plans show compliance with this requirement.
Mechanical Equipment: All mechanical equipment and outdoor service 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. If mechanical equipment is proposed to be roof-mount, all
equipment should be screened and out of view as noted above.

Building Elevations: The Applicant submitted conceptual building elevations for the proposed
financial institution. The building elevations depict three (3)main materials of cement lap siding,
brick veneer, and stone/rock veneer. In addition,the site plan depicts appropriate wall modulation
along each side of the building. The Applicant did not submit color renderings but based on the
conceptual elevations, Staff anticipates the building will comply with all Architectural Standards
Manual(ASM) standards.
Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review: A Certificate of Zoning Compliance(CZC)
and Administrative Design Review(DES) applications are required to be submitted for the proposed
building prior to submittal of a building permit application to ensure consistency with the conditions
in Section VIII and UDC standards.
VI. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed conditional use permit with the conditions included
in Section VIII per the Findings in Section IX.
