V. STAFF ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan:
This property is designated as Commercial on the Future Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan.
This designation provides for 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 property is one of several Commercial designated and C-G zoned properties in Lost Rapids
subdivision that is in the development process. The proposed development and use of the site with a
financial institution and drive-through is a desired use within the Commercial future lane use map
designation in the Comprehensive Plan, as noted above, and with adjacent approved uses in the vicinity.
Therefore, Staff finds the proposed project is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as
required.
Unified Development Code:
The Applicant proposes to construct a new 3,400 square foot(s.f.) financial institution(KeyBank
Meridian Branch)with a drive-through on 1.04 acres of land in the C-G zoning district. The branch will
serve the community with banking offices for client consultation, a drive-through ATM and a drive-
through auto-teller lane.
Note: The configuration of the property depicted on the maps does not yet reflect the recently approved
short plat(SHP-2022-0014)which creates the configuration of the subject property. The short plat
needs to be recorded prior to submittal of a building permit application.
A financial institution is listed as a principal permitted use in the C-G zoning district per UDC Table II-
2B-2, subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-17. A drive-through requires approval of
a conditional use permit when it's within 300-feet of another drive-through facility, an existing residence
or a residential district per 11-4-3-11A.1. In this case,there is a drive-through establishment [i.e. Dutch
Page 3
EXHIBIT A
Bros. Coffee(A-2021-0177)] to the east and a residential district(i.e. R-15) and residential uses to the
west in Bainbridge Subdivision No. 12 within 300-feet of the subject property;the next two(2)lots to
the east of Dutch Bros. also have drive-through uses.
Compliance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-16 Self-Service Uses for the ATM is required as
follows: (Staff's comments in italics)
A. Entrance or view of the self-service facility shall be open to the public street or to adjoining
businesses and shall have low impact security lighting. The entrance and view of the ATM is
open to the public street(W. Chinden Blvd.)and the driveway along the west boundary of the
site.
B. Financial transaction areas shall be oriented to and visible from an area that receives a high
volume of traffic, such as a collector or arterial street. The financial transaction area of the ATM
is oriented toward the adjacent driveway along the west boundary of the site and is visible from
the public street(W.. Chinden Blvd.)along the north boundary of the site.
C. Landscape shrubbery shall be limited to no more than three(3)feet in height between entrances
and financial transaction areas and the public street. The reed grass depicted on the landscape
plan in the buffer along the west boundary of the site and the falkner boxwood in the buffer
along the northern boundary of the site on the west side of the building has a mature height of 4-
feet, which is not allowed; the landscape plan should be revised to comply with this standard.
The proposed use and development plan is in substantial conformance with the provisions in the existing
Development Agreement(Inst. #2018-079970).
Hours of Operation: The branch lobby and auto-teller are open normal business hours Monday thru
Saturday;the ATM is operational 27/7. Because the proposed use/property does not abut a residential
use or district, a conditional use permit is not required for the ATM.
Specific Use Standards: The proposed use is subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-
11—Drive-Through Establishment and in 11-4-3-17—Financial Institution. Staffs analysis is in italics.
Drive-Through Establishment:
All establishments providing drive-through service are required to identify the stacking lane,menu
and speaker location(if applicable), and window location on the site plan. The stacking lane and
window location is depicted on the site plan.
The site plan is also required to demonstrate safe pedestrian and vehicular access and circulation on
the site and between adjacent properties.A safe pedestrian walkway is proposed from the perimeter
sidewalk along the southern boundary of the site to the main building entrance in compliance with
UDC 11-3A-19B.4a. The sidewalk along the southern boundary of the site continues to the east for
pedestrian access between adjacent properties. Vehicular access is proposed from the drive aisle
along the southern boundary of the site and safe vehicular circulation within the site is also
proposed.
At a minimum,the plan is required to demonstrate compliance with the following standards:
1) Stacking lanes have sufficient capacity to prevent obstruction of driveways, drive aisles and the
public right-of-way by patrons;
The proposed stacking lanes appear to have sufficient capacity to prevent obstruction of drive aisles.
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 is a separate lane from the circulation lanes needed for access and parking.
Page 4
EXHIBIT A
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
An escape lane is proposed as shown on the site plan.
5)The site should be designed so that the drive-through is visible from a public street for
surveillance purposes.
The drive-through is located on the west side of the building and is visible from W. Chinden Blvd.
and from the driveway to/from Chinden along the west side of the property for surveillance
purposes.
Financial Institution:
A. The location,access and safety features of all automated teller machines(ATMs) shall be subject
to review and approval by the Meridian Police Department, and in accord with the standards set
forth in section 11-3A-16 of this title. The Applicant should obtain approval from the Police
Dept.for the proposed ATM. See above analysis for compliance with the standards in UDC H-
3A-16.
B. All ATMs shall be deemed an accessory use to a financial institution.
C. All approaches and entrances to ATMs should be highly visible and adequately lit so that people
cannot loiter,or enter,without being seen. The addition of security cameras are highly
recommended. The Applicant shall comply with this standard.
Dimensional Standards: Future development should be consistent with the dimensional standards listed
in UDC Table 11-2B-3 for the C-G zoning district.
Access: Access is proposed via the east/west driveway along the southern boundary of the site; direct lot
access via Chinden Blvd. and the north/south driveway along the western boundary of the site is
prohibited. A reciprocal cross-access easement exists between all lots in the subdivision as noted on the
Lost Rapids subdivision plat.
Parking: Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-
3A-6B.1. Based on a 3,400 square foot structure, a minimum of six(6) spaces are required. A total of 16
spaces are proposed, exceeding UDC standards.
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 bicycle rack is proposed on the south side of the
building in accord with this standard.
The site design requires vehicles that are parked on the east side of the building to exit the site
through the drive-through escape lane and vehicles accessing the parking spaces on the south side
of the building to travel against traffic leaving the drive-through. Staff is concerned about traffic
conflicts within the site that may exist because of the site design, as discussed with the applicant in
the pre-application meeting. The Applicant did not share Staff s concerns and proceeded with the
proposed site layout.
The Applicant should obtain approval from Republic Services for the location of the trash
enclosure prior to submittal of a Certificate of Zoning Compliance application.

Landscaping: Street buffer landscaping was installed within the street buffer along W. Chinden Blvd.
with the Lost Rapids subdivision improvements.
Parking lot landscaping is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-8C.
A minimum 5-foot wide perimeter buffer is required along the east boundary of the site per UDC
11-3B-8C.1,landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-8C.Ib.The buffer on the adjacent
property to the east does not meet this requirement; remove from the plan.
Sidewalks: A 10-foot wide multi-use pathway exists within a public use easement in the street buffer on
the northern portion of this site along W. Chinden Blvd. A sidewalk exists within the landscape buffers
along the western and southern boundaries of the site along internal driveways within Lost Rapids
Subdivision. A pedestrian walkway is proposed from the perimeter sidewalk along the southern
boundary of the site to the main building entrance in accord with UDC 11-3A-19.B.4. Where the
walkway crosses the vehicular driving surface,it's required to be distinguished from the vehicular
driving surface through the use of pavers,colored or scored concrete,or bricks as set forth in UDC
11-3A-19B.4.The site/landscape plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance
application should reflect compliance with this standard—the proposed striping on the pathway
from the perimeter sidewalk to the main building entrance is not approved.
The sidewalk on the south and east sides of the building where parking abuts should be widened to
7-feet to allow vehicles to overhang 2-feet(the length of stalls may be reduced to 17-feet); or,wheel
stops should be provided within parking spaces to prevent vehicle overhang in accord with UDC
11-3C-5B.3,4.
