Case No.: N/A
Applicant: Aaron Orme, Orme Family and Implant Dentistry
In the Matter of. Variance request from a Department Determination concerning a proposed
addressing change for 2201 E. Gala Street by Orme Family and Implant
Dentistry
Pursuant to testimony and evidence received regarding this matter at the public hearing before the
Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Meridian (the "Commission") on March 16, 2023,
as to this matter, the Commission enters the following findings of fact, conclusions of law, decision,
and order.
A. Findings of fact.
1. The facts pertaining to the Applicant's property, the Applicant's request, and the process are
set forth in the March 2, 2023, staff report titled"Staff Recommendation on Application for
Variance,"which is incorporated herein by reference.
2. The Applicant requested that the City assign separate suite numbers to two businesses which
are co-located in the same building at 2201 E. Gala Street, but that request was denied by the
Director of Community Development.
3. The Applicant subsequently requested a variance from the requirements set forth in
Meridian City Code section 8-2-7(E)(1), which states, "Only one (1) address number shall
be assigned to each residence, dwelling, structure, business, industry or other property."
4. Under Meridian City Code section 8-2-11(A)(2)(d), in order to grant the Applicant's
request, the Commission must find that the variance "will not adversely affect the health,
safety, and welfare of the community including the accurate dispatch of emergency vehicles
or delivery of emergency services."
5. Under Meridian City Code section 8-2-11(A)(2)(b), in order to grant the Applicant's
request, the Commission must also find that the variance will not grant a right or special
privilege to the Applicant that is not otherwise allowed under the Meridian City Code.
6. Deputy Chief of Prevention Joseph Bongiorno testified,both in writing and in person, that
the proposed variance would adversely affect the delivery of emergency services by the
Meridian Fire Department. The Commission finds Chief Bongiorno's testimony to be
credible and trustworthy.
7. Staff from the Community Development Department testified, in writing and in person, that
the proposed variance would grant a special privilege to the Applicant because the City

Variance Request from Orme Family and Implant Dentistry Page 1
routinely denies similar requests from other property owners. The Commission finds staff s
testimony to be credible and trustworthy.
8. Based on the foregoing, the Commission finds that the Applicant's request for a variance is
not in accord with Meridian City Code sections 8-2-11(A)(2)(b) and(d).
B. Conclusions of law.
1. The Commission takes judicial notice of the Meridian City Code, including, but not limited
to, chapter 2, title 8.
2. In order to grant a variance under Meridian City Code Section 8-2-11(A), the Commission
must make certain findings, including:
a. "That the variance requested will not adversely affect the health, safety, and welfare
of the community including the accurate dispatch of emergency vehicles or delivery
of emergency services." MCC § 8-2-11(A)(2)(d).
b. "That the requested variance will not grant a right or special privilege to the property
owner that is not otherwise allowed under this chapter."MCC § 8-2-11(A)(2)(b).
3. When the Commission cannot make the findings required by Meridian City Code section 8-
2-11(A)(2), the Commission must deny an Applicant's request for a variance. See MCC § 8-
2-11(A)(2) ("A request for variance may be granted upon a finding by the Commission that
all of the following conditions have been met.").
C. Order. Pursuant to the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, the Commission hereby
denies the Applicant's request for a variance because the Commission is unable to make all of
the required findings under Meridian City Code section 8-2-11(A)(2).
D. Final decision. Upon approval by majority vote, this is a final decision of the Commission.
E. Limited right of appeal to City Council. Pursuant to Meridian City Code section 8-2-
11(13)(2)(a), "A property owner may appeal to [City] Council a final decision of the
Commission in which the property owner is an affected party by filing a written notice of appeal
with the City Clerk's Office. The appeal shall be filed within five (5) working days of the
mailing date of written notice of the Commission decision. A copy of the notice of appeal shall
be provided to the [Community Development Department]."Additionally, "The notice of appeal
shall specifically state where the [C]ommission erred in the findings of fact and/or the
interpretation or application of[chapter 2, title 8, Meridian City Code]."MCC § 8-2-
11(13)(2)(b).
F. Notice of right to regulatory takings analysis. Pursuant to Idaho Code 67-8003, an owner of
private property that is the subject of a final decision may submit a written request with the
Meridian City Clerk for a regulatory takings analysis.
