Cheny Lane Christian Church Annexation
AZ-05-023
Annexation and Zoning Comme:nts
ANEXATION & ZONING FACTS AND COMMENTS
1. The subject property is within the Urban Services Planning Area. The legal
description submitted with the application (dated 4/15105, stamped by Stephen
Lee) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate boundary of the
City of Meridian. The Public Works Department has confirmed that the
submitted legal description meets the requirements of the City of Meridian and
the Idaho State Tax Commission.
2. Any future subdivision and/or development of this property shall comply with the
City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time.
3. Prior to the annexation ordinance approval, a Development Agreement (DA) shall
be entered into between the City of Meridian, property owner (at the time of
annexation ordinance adoption), and the developer. The applicant shan contact the
City Attorney, Bill Nary, at 888.4433 to initiate this process. The DA shaH
incorporate the following:
· That any new structure(s) shall be generally compatible in appearance and
bulk with the surrounding residential properties, as determined by the detailed
Planned Development approval as approved through a Conditional Use
process.
. That no building or other structure shan be erected, moved, added to or
structurally altered, nor shall any building, structure or land be established or
changed in use without prior approval.
. That all future uses shall not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons,
property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic,
noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
. At this time the applicant proposes the following uses on the subject property:
Private School w/cbildcare capabilities, Church, and Administrative Offices.
The Planned Development Application as required by this Development
Agreement must include these and any other uses requested by the applicant
· That the applicant agrees to provide cross-access to the parcels to the west and
north, prior to issuance of a Certificate of Zoning Compliance (ClC) permit
for any future use.
· That vehicular access to this site shall be restricted to those approved by
ACHD and the City.
Cherry Lane Christian Church Exhibit C
_.' c..)
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS (ANNEXATION & ZONING)
1. Access: Limiting vehicular access to this property is essential to maintaining
traffic flow on Franklin Road during peak hours. ACHD policy requires right-
in/right-out driveways located on arterial roadways to be constlUcted a minimum
of 150 feet from a stop controlled intersection; 220 feet is required for a full
access driveway. Although this property has sufficient frontage to meet the
District's policy, there is need and a request by ACHD for a detailed traffic study
prior to development When the FranklinlTen mile intersection is signalized, or if
safety of any accesses should become an issue, the ACHD may restrict the access
to right-inlright-out only for all access points. The final locations of points of
access will be determined at a later date, during detailed approval through the
PlalUled Development process.
Because only one access to the public roadway system is being proposed for this
property to the west of the site, staff recommends that cross access be provided to
the site to the west. The idea with providing cross access to the multifamily
development is that when the church expands and/or redevelops, cross access will
be reciprocated to the proposed multifamily development. If cross access is
provided then patrons of the church can access Franklin Road at a signalized
intersection without having to cross traffic lanes on Franklin Road to exit the site.
See Annexation & Zoning Facts and Comments #2 below.
Landscaping: Franklin Road and Ten mile Road are classified arterial roadways.
A 25-foot wide landscape buffer is currently required adjacent to arterial
roadways (MCC 12-13-10-4). Landscape buffers along Meridian Road and Ustick
Road will be required by the City with CZC/Planned Development approval.
lfthe subject annexation and zoning application is approved, C-N property will be
adjacent to rural residential properties zoned RUT in Ada County and an outdoor
storage facility, To buffer the existing land uses to the south and west from future
commercial office uses on this site, landscape buffers along the petimeter of the
site should be installed when a CZC/Plat is approved (see MCC 12~13-12).
Parking: For Churches/Schaols/Gynmasium, parking stalls are currently required
at the rate of one space per 4 auditorium seats, one space per each 5 church seats,
one space per 400 s.f. of gross office floor area (administration building), 2
parking spaces per elementary classroom, 10 parking spaces per high school
classroom plus 1 for each 10 seats in and auditorium or gymnasium. (MCC 11-
13-5.B).
3. Sanitary Sewer: Sanitary sewer is currently not available to this site. This site is
master planned for the sewer to drain to the Black Cat lift station via extensions of
mains through Castlebrook Subdivision, Chesterfield Subdivision, and the
proposed Silver Oaks Subdivision to the west. The applicant shan be responsible
to design and install sewer mains to and through this proposed development,

Zoning Amendment Findings
ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning
Amendments, both the P&Z Commission and Council are required "to review the
particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the
following standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the following questions
about the proposed zoning amendment."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis:
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
Staff finds that the requested Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) zoning
designation is in accord with the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map,
which delineates the subject property as "Mixed Use-Regional". Meridian City
Code (MCC) 11-7-2.H. states the purpose of the C-N district is "to permit small
scale convenience business uses which are intended to meet the daily needs of the
residents in the immediate neighborhood. ., .and shall not constitute all or any
part of a strip development concept." The following Comprehensive Plan policies
also support the annexation and proposed Church! Private School use:
· "Permit new. . .commercial developments only where urban
services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval
and development is contiguous to the City." (Chapter IV, pg. 26,
Goal I, Obj. A, #6)
Municipal wafer, solid waste and other services exist to this area
of Meridian.
· "Require all new parking lots to provide landscaping in internal
islands." (Chapter V, pg. 43, Goal III, Obj. D, #3)
The Site Plan submitted with the annexation application for this
property is conceptual in nature; the parking lot will be addressed
through the submittal of the planned development and shall show
internal planters, as required.
· "Locate new community conunercial areas on arterials. . .near
residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining
residential areas." (Chapter VII, pg. 43, Goal III, Obj. D, #3)
Cherry Lane Christian Church Exhibit D
The proposed commercial use is located at the intersection of two
minor arterial roadways. A 25-foot wide street buffer is shown
along Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road, designed in part to
mitigate potential negative impacts upon the vehicular trafflc on
arterial roads. There are several major residential developments
occurring in the area to which the proposal will provide service.
. "Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial
streets." (Chapter VU, pg. 107, Goal IV, Obj, D, #2)
ACHD is requiring the applicant to submit a detailed traffic study
for the site. The curb cuts and access points are consistent with
other proposals of this size and nature. However, these will be
approved with the filing of a detailed Planned Development and
full review by A CHD.
Chapter VI C.2 P71 - Multiuse pathways: Pathways that encourage use by
bicyclists and pedestrians can decrease road congestion and add to the
community's quality of life. The proposed off-street and multiuse pathway
systems are depicted in Figures VI-3 and VI-4. New and existing developments
should ensure that the guidelines laid out in this plan are adopted.
With the design of the conceptual plan the applicant has included multiuse
pathways in this development. The Comprehensive Plan indicates in Figures VI -
3 and VI-4 the locations of pathways along the Ridenbaugh Canal, Eight Mile
Creek, and Ten-Mile Creek.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
Concurrent with the annexation and zoning application, the applicant has
submitted a conceptual site plan. The site plans depicts several buildings on this
property with 1) a main building to seat 4,500 patrons and several classrooms and
2) a school with a gymnasium and an administration building. The site plan also
shows a recreation field and multiuse pathway system along the Ten Mile Creek.
Staff does not anticipate that the applicant plans to rezone the subject property in
the future if the subject annexation/zoning is approved, as the anticipated Church!
Private School uses will be conditionally allowed in the requested C-N zone.
Please see Finding "CO).
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a
residential area tummg into a commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
Staff finds that School/ Private Schools would be Conditional uses within the
requested C-N zone, As mentioned above, however, there is no detailed
Cherry Lane Christian Church Exhibit D
development plan proposed at this time, but a Planned Development must be
submitted in compliance with the Mixed-Use Regional Designation.
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example~ have the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
Staff finds that the recent annexation and zoning of Stor-It, Castlebrook
Subdivision, and the recent proposal of Silver Oaks Subdivision (multifamily)
directly west of this site, dictates that the subject property be similarly zoned and
developed. The streets adjacent to this site have not been widened recently, and
neither Franklin Road nor Ten Mile Road roadway improvements abutting this
site are in the current ACHD Five~ Year Work Program. Franklin Road from Ten-
Mile to Black Cat is in the planned development phase for improvement.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed~ constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
The applicant will be required to construct, operate and maintain the future
buildings in accordance with City Code. Although this area was intended for
residential and commercial uses when the 2002 Comprehensive Plan was adopted,
staff finds that the size and number of uses is consistent with the comprehensive
plan at this location. Staff Hnds that the design of the submitted conceptual
layouts for school/office/church buildings could be harmonious with the adjacent
properties if cross-access is provided to the parcel to the west (multifamily). Staff
further finds that the proposed uses will change the existing character of the area,
but that the proposed zone and future use(s) should be harmonious and
appropriate in appearance with the character of the overall area. Staff fmds that
any future uses) if designed, constructed and operated in accordance with adopted
city ordinances, should be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the
intended character ofthe vicinity.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
Commercial (school/church) vehicular access to this site could cause a potential
disturbancelhazard to existing and/or future uses. The 2002 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map designates the properties to the west as multifamily, and to
the south and east as Mixed Use Regional. The Commission and Council should
rely on public testimony to determine whether the proposed C-N zoning will be
disturbing or hazardous to the neighboring uses.
Cherry Lane Christian Church Exhibit D
Staff finds that the use of this site for Church/School type uses should not be
hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses if the applicant
enters into a development agreement with the City and all development and
landscaping ordinances are exercised. fu addition to staffs analysis, the
Commission and Council should rely on public testimony to determine whether or
not the potential disturbance of allowing a commercial access int%ut of this site
will substantially affect the existing or future neighboring uses.
G. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets~ police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
Sanitary sewer is currently not available to this site. This site is master planned
for the sewer to drain to the Black Cat lift station via extensions of mains through
Castlebrook, Chesterfield and the proposed Silver Oaks to the west. Watel:' mains
are readily available in Ten-Mile Road, and Franklin Road.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay any
applicable park and highway impact fees as well as constIUct on-site storm water
drainage facilities.
On May 27,2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. Based on the joint
agency/department meeting and other comments received from
agencies/departments, staff finds that the public services listed above can be made
available to accommodate the proposed development. However, the joint agency
review was based on the conceptual plan, the Planned Development shall require
detailed review. The Commission and Council should reference any written
andlor verbal testimony submitted by any public service provider, regarding their
ability to adequately service this project.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
If approved, the developer will be financing the ex.tension of sewer, water, local
street (driveway) infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the
project. Other required site improvements will be funded and constructed by the
developer tIn-ough the CZC/Planned Development approval process. The primary
public costs to serve the future uses will be fire and police facilities and services.
Staff finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and
that the proposed zoning and subsequent development will not be detrimental to
the community's economic welfare.
Cherry Lane Christian Church Exhibit D
I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff finds that any future uses on this site will generate additional traffic on
adjacent roadways above and beyond the existing residences. The level of impact
will depend upon the type of future usee s) and the square footage of the buildings.
Staff recognizes that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this
development; however, do to the large size of the site and number of proposed
accesses, staff does not believe that the amount generated will be detrimental to
the general welfare of the public. Traffic will further be reviewed and
accommodated by ACHD review of the detailed traffic study.
The purpose of the C-N zone is to "to permit small scale convenience business
uses which are intended to meet the daily needs of the residents in the immediate
neighborhood. .. .and shall not constitute all or any part of a strip development
concept." (MCC 11-7 -2.H) As such, staff does not anticipate future uses will
create smoke, fumes, glare, or odors that will be detrimental to the general welfare
of persons or property in the area. Staff does not anticipate the proposed
alUlexation and subsequent use(s) will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes~ glare,
or odors. Staff finds that the proposed Church! Private School uses should not be
detrimental to people, property or the general welfare of the area.
MCC 11-16-4 provides the P&Z Commission and City Council the authority to
require a property owner to enter into a Development Agreement with the City of
Meridian that may require some written commitment for all future uses to more
fully comply with this finding. Due to the close proximity of existing and future
residential uses, the scale of the project, and relation to neighboring uses~ staff
believes that a Development Agreement is necessary to ensure that the purpose of
the C-N zone is maintained. Please see Atmexation & Zoning Facts and
Comments below.
J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an hlterference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
This parcel has a large amount of frontage on both Franklin Road and limited
frontage on Ten-Mile Road. The applicant is conceptually proposing four
driveway approaches to Franklin Road: a shared access at the mid section (for
possible future signalization), two right in and right out accesses, and a full access
at approximately the \4 section line. ACHD considers access points in their
analysis of development applications and has requested a detailed traffic study.
Staff believes that these locations will provide adequate access, but it may be
restricted based upon the detailed traffic study. To help future traffic flows in this
Cherry Lane Christian Church Exhibit D
area, staffbe1ieves that cross access between the subject property and the property
to the west and north should be provided. If cross access is provided from the
west and north, patrons of the church/school, storage facility, and multifamily
development can access Franklin Road at the "Y2 section line, also to be cost shared
with the property to the west. Staff believes that the proposed uses (and access)
should not be hazardous to neighboring uses or traffic flows, but development
should be restricted until ACHD has had adequate time to review a traffic study.
The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony, ACHD staff, and
City staff's analysis when determining whether or not a vehicular approach to
Franklin Road will interfere with traffic on surrounding public streets. See Special
Consideration #1 below for more analysis.
K. Will not result in the destruction~ loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
Staff is unaware of any natural of scenic features of major importance on this site
and finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approving the annexation and zoning application. Any existing trees
larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape
Ordinance.
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 592,11-17-1992)"
The legal description submitted with the application, prepared by Stephen Lee
PLS of Pinnacle Engineers, Inc., shows that the property is contiguous to the
existing corporate boundary of the City of Meridian. The land directly north, and
northeast of the subject property have previously been annexed into the City and
this is a logical expansion of the City boundary. The applicant is proposing to
develop the land in substantial compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
In accordance with the findings listed above, staff finds that the
annexation/zoning of this property would be in the best interest oillie City.
NOTE: Staff has included Development Agreement stipulations for annexation
and zoning of this property below.
