V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (HTTPS://WWW.MERIDIANCITY.ORGICOMPPLAl�:
Land Use:
This property is designated Mixed Use—Commercial(MU-COM)within the Ten Mile Interchange
Specific Area Plan on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).
The purpose of the MU-COM designation is to encourage a diversity of compatible land uses that may
include a mixture of residential,office,retail,recreational, employment, and other miscellaneous uses,
Page 3
with supporting multi-family or single-family attached residential uses(see pg. 3-9 in the TMISAP for
more information).
Mixed-use designated areas in the TMISAP are recommended locations for development of activity
centers that are specifically planned to include both residential and non-residential uses. Mixed-use
areas are anticipated to have 3 or more significant income-producing uses(I.E. retail,office,
residential and lodging facilities)with significant functional and physical integration in conformance
with the coherent plan(pgs. 3-7 &3-8).
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES(https://www.meridianciU.or /g compplan):
Goals,Objectives, &Action Items: Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be
applicable to this application and apply to the proposed use of this property(staff analysis in italics):
• "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 that ensure the livability and
economic vitality of the community.
• "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 mixed-use area is currently a diverse and active community,featuring a variety of
retail, restaurant, office, and residential uses, as well as a multi family development directly to
the east. To the north are commercial and office uses, including a Dentist's office, Primary
Health, various restaurants, car wash, bank, Sherwin Williams, and an Eintein's Oilery. To the
south, there are proposed restaurant uses, retail shops, and a Saltzer Medical Office. Across Ten
Mile Road to the west, new development is sprouting up,featuring multi family residences, retail,
office space, and other uses. The proposed Dutch Bros. coffee restaurant will enhance this
vibrant area by adding a popular drive-through coffee chain option for area residents, especially
those living in nearby residential developments. The new establishment will also create job
opportunities for nearby residents.
• "Require pedestrian circulation plans to ensure safety and convenient access across large
commercial and mixed-use developments."(3.07.02A).
Along the entire frontage of S. Ten Mile Road, there is an existing 10 foot wide pathway located
within the buffer. A 5-foot wide detached sidewalk is also present within the landscape buffer
along W. Cobalt Drive, which will connect to the multi-use pathway at the intersection of Cobalt
Drive and Ten Mile Road. The development requires a minimum 5-foot wide sidewalk adjacent to
all commercial buildings and along the main driveways within the site. These sidewalks will
facilitate pedestrian connectivity and easy access throughout the mixed-use development.
• "Minimize noise, lighting,and odor disturbances from commercial developments to residential
dwellings by enforcing city code."(5.01.01F)
Operation of the proposed use should comply with City ordinances pertaining to noise, lighting,
and odor disturbances.
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS
A. PROPERTY HISTORY
In 2020, a DA Modification was approved to terminate all existing agreements in the Ten Mile Crossing
development area in favor of one master agreement to govern future development of the overall area to
include project-specific design guidelines to supersede those in the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area
Page 4
Plan(TMISAP),which include deviations form certain goals and guidelines including decreased floor
area ratios, different street and streetscape designs, landscape and architectural design elements and site
development standards,including an increase in building height in the C-G zoning district of up to 100-
feet to allow for 6-story buildings. Rezone of 40.98-acres from the R-40 and C-C zoning districts to the
C-G zoning district, 3.9-acres from the TN-C and C-G zoning districts to R-40 zoning district, 0.65-acre
from the R-8 and TN-C zoning districts to the C-G zoning district, and 0.53-acre from the TN-C zoning
district to the C-G zoning district; and,Preliminary Plat consisting of 83 buildable lots and 2 common
lots on 132.42 acres of land in the R-40 and C-G zoning districts,by Brighton Development.
B. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT(CUP)
Conditional use permit for a new 5,825 square foot multi-tenant building with a dual drive-through for
Dutch Bros. coffee restaurant on approximately 1.5 acres of land in the C-G zoning district to allow the
requested drive-through use within 300 feet of another drive-through facility,residential district, and
existing residence.
Specific Use Standards(UDC 11-4-3):
The proposed use is subject to the following standards: (Staffs analysis/comments in italic text)
Drive-Through Establishment: The proposed drive-through establishment is subject to the specific use
standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-11, 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.A menu board location should be depicted on the plans. The site plan
is also required to demonstrate 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:
1) Stacking lanes have sufficient capacity to prevent obstruction of driveways,drive aisles and the public
right-of-way by patrons;
The proposed site layout for the Dutch Bros coffee facility includes a separate stacking lane that
provides queuing space for up to 27 vehicles, which is located behind the drive-through window. The
drive-through itself starts at the northwest side of the building and exits at the southeast side,facing S.
Innovation Lane.At this location, the company has proposed implementing a runner system, where
employees will take orders and charge customers in person while walking alongside vehicles in the
stacking lane, and customers may also place their orders at the window when there are no cars in line.
This system eliminates the need for speaker boxes and menu boards, which can cause noise disturbances
and increase wait times. If there is excessive overflow from the drive-through lane, it will stack into the
parking lot from the east, rather than spilling onto S. Innovation Lane or W. Cobalt Drive. The concept
plan also shows that the stacking lane is separate from the drive aisles and parking, which allows for
easy access to the rest of the development.
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.
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 required. An escape lane is proposed
prior to approaching the ordering window on the southwest side of the building(see paint striping on
site plan).
Page 5
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 starting on the north side of the building and ending on the south side of the
building. The drive-through is visible from S. Ten Mile Road and W. Cobalt Drive along the south side
of the building for surveillance purposes.
Based on the above analysis, Staff deems the proposed drive-through is in compliance with the specific
use standards as required.
Restaurant: The proposed use is also 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(see parking analysis below). The proposed multi-tenant building will include space to
accommodate Dutch Bros Coffee and up to three(3) additional tenants upon project completion.
Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
Development of the site shall comply with the dimensional standards of the C-G zoning district in UDC
Table 11-2B-3. Staff has reviewed the proposed plans and building elevations and they comply with the
required standards.
Access(UDC 11-3A-31:
Access is proposed on the site plan from S. Innovation Lane, a private street on the west side of the property,
and the collector road to the south(W. Cobalt Drive). Vehicles will enter the site from the east and will
either park in the lot in front of the drive-through or continue to the west along one of the two 12' drive-
through lanes merging to the coffee kiosk and exiting back to the drive aisle to the south. There is an escape
lane provided just south of the coffee kiosk that exists to the drive aisle to the south. Direct access via S.
Ten Mile Road is prohibited.
Parking(UDC 11-3C):
A minimum of one(1) off-street parking space is required per 250 square feet(s.£) of gross floor area. Based
on the 5,825-foot multi-tenant building, a minimum of 23 parking spaces are required. A total of 35 parking
spaces are proposed, exceeding UDC standards.
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.Bicycle parking is shown on the plans submitted with this application
that meet the requirements;however, a detail of the bicycle racks should beprovided with the Certificate
of Zoning Compliance(CZC)Application submittal.
Pedestrian Walkways: The proposed plan includes a pedestrian walkway that will run from the east side of
the building's front pick-up window to the pedestrian walkway on W. Cobalt Drive. This walkway will then
lead to the existing 10-foot pathway that runs along S. Ten Mile Road, as mandated by UDC 11-3A-19.13.4.
Landscaping(UDC 11-3B1:
Street buffer: The street buffer along S. Ten Mile Road and W. Cobalt Drive was constructed with the
improvements for the Ten Mile Creek Subdivision No. 1 for the common area site improvements. Staff
recommends that the existing landscaping buffers along S. Ten Mile Road and W. Cobalt Drive remain in
place and shall be protected during construction on the site per UDC 11-3B-10. According to UDC Table
11-2B-3, a 25 foot wide landscaped buffer is required adjacent to residential uses.However, in this case,
the property lines meet in the middle of the drive aisle, meaning that the use is not contiguous to the
residential property.Additionally, the adjacent residential use has already incorporated a landscape
buffer, sidewalk, and garages lining the private drive, which provides additional screening and
buffering."Parking lot: Landscaping is required in the parking lot per the standards in UDC 11-3B-
8C.1. Staff recommends that a landscape strip be added on the east side of the parking lot, in front of the
parking stalls, with a width of 3 to 4 feet. This will prevent vehicles from cutting through the parking lot.
Page 6
To accommodate the landscape strip, the parking stalls adjacent to the building can be reduced to 17 feet
in length and the drive aisles can be reduced to 25 feet in width (see landscape plan below). The
Perimeter landscape planter around the building drive aisles (north, south, east, and west)should be 5-
feet in width. Per UDC 11-3B-8C.2d, each interior planter that serves a double row of parking spaces
shall have at least two (2)trees and shall be covered with low shrubs, lawn, or other vegetative ground
cover. Trees shall be centered within the planters and provide urban canopy. Deciduous urban canopy
trees shall be pruned to a minimum height of eight(8) feet above the adjacent parking areas.
To meet the UDC requirements mentioned above, the landscape plan should be updated in the CZC
submittal to show an additional tree in the two planters that serve the double row of parking stalls.
Outdoor Lighting(UDC 11-3A-11):
All outdoor lighting is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-I IC. Light fixtures that
have a maximum output of 1,800 lumens or more are required to have an opaque top to prevent up-lighting;
the bulb shall not be visible and shall have a full cutoff shield in accord with Figure 1 in UDC 11-3A-I IC.
Details of the lighting proposed on the site that demonstrate compliance with the standards listed in UDC
11-3A-11 should be submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application.
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. If mechanical equipment is proposed to be roof-mount, all equipment
should be screened and out of view as noted above.
Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manuan:
Conceptual building elevations were submitted for the proposed structure as shown in Section VII.C.
Building materials consist of fiber cement siding, stucco,metal roofing, stone veneer in Eldorado stone,
canopy soffit in natural north-western spruce,and glazing. Final design is required to comply with the
adopted TM Crossing Design Guidelines.
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 the
submittal of a building permit application to ensure compliance with UDC standards and the conditions listed
in Section X.
