e. The DA shall also cite the following Comprehensive Plan policies (from

Transportation Policies Applicable to the Market Square Annexation:
"Large development proposals that are likely to generate significant traffic
should be assessed for their impact on the transportation system and
surrounding land uses. They should be examined for ways to encourage
all forms of transportation such as transit, walking, and cycling.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (AZ-04-009)
PAGE 7 OF 28
• New development should not rely on cul-de-sacs since they provide poor
fire access, wallcability, and neighborhood social life. New development
and streets should be designed to encourage walking and bicycling.
• In addition to providing far enhanced automobile traffic, Meridian should
seek ways to encourage alternative modes of transport. Improvement in
and encouraged use of public transit systems is an important first step.
Public transit includes bus systems and ridesharing. By fostering such
means of high vehicle occupancies, congestion on roadways can be
decreased.
• 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 multiple-use 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.
• Eagle Road is the major, north-south arterial in Ada County. The capacity
of this arterial should be protected by minimizing the number and location
of private driveway access connections to this important roadway."
Mixed Use Development Policies Aunlicable to the Market Square Annexation:
• "Where feasible, multi-family residential uses will be encouraged,
especially for projects with the potential to serve as employment
destination centers and when the project is adjacent to State Highways 20-
26, 55 or 69;
• Where mixed use developments are phased, a conceptual site plan for the
entire mixed use area is encouraged with the development application or,
depending on the scope of the development, prior to a formal development
application being submitted;
• In developments where multiple commercial and/or office buildings are
proposed (not residential), the buildings should be arranged to create some
form of common, usable area, such as a plaza or green space;
• Where the project is developed adjacent to low or medium density
residential uses, a transitional use is encouraged."
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (AZ-04-009)
PAGE 8 OF 28
4. Any existing domestic wells andlor septic systems within this project will have to
be removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517,
when services are available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for
non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation.
5. The applicant shall contact l:'TD District 3 regarding the design of the Eagle
RoadlSH 55 sidewalk and landscape buffer. Provide a written response to staff
outlining the results of said discussions and any specific design standards ITD
may request as part of this development.
C. Adopt the Recommendations of ACHD as follows:
If the rezone is approved and the District receives a development proposal, the
District intends to provide the following requirements, in addition to any
additional requirements that may apply upon District review of future
development, to the City of Meridian:

e. The DA shall also cite the following Comprehensive Plan policies (from Chapter VI
and VII} as being applicable to all future development within the boundaries of this
annexation:
Transportation Policies Applicable to the Market Square Annexation:
• "Large development proposals that are likely to generate significant traffic should
be assessed for their impact on the transportation system and surrounding land
uses. They should be examined for ways to encourage all forms of transportation
such as transit, walking, and cycling.
• New development should not rely on cul-de-sacs since they provide poor fire
access, wallcability, and neighborhood social life. New development and streets
should be designed to encourage walking and bicycling.
• In addition to providing for enhanced automobile traffic, Meridian should seek
ways to encourage alternative modes of transport. Improvement in and
encouraged use of public transit systems is an important first step. Public transit
includes bus systems and ridesharing. By fostering such means of high vehicle
occupancies, congestion on roadways can be decreased.
• 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
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

(AZ-04009)
PAGE 6 OF 30
and multiple-use 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.
• Eagle Road is the major north-south arterial in Ada County. The capacity of this
arterial should be protected by minimizing the number and.location of private
driveway access connections to this important roadway."
Mixed Use Devel~ment Policies Applicable to the Mazket Square Annexation:
• "Where feasible, multi-family residential uses will be encouraged, especially for
projects with the potential to serve as employment destination centers and when
the project is adjacent to State Highways 20-26, 55 or 69;
• Where mixed use developments are phased, a conceptual site plan for the entire
mixed use area is encouraged with the development application or, depending on
the scope of the development, prior to a formal development application being
submitted;
• In developments where multiple commercial and/or office buildings are proposed
(not residential), the buildings should be arranged to create some form of
common, usable area, such as a plaza or green space;
• Where the project is developed adjacent to low or medium density residential
uses, a transitional use is encouraged."
4. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be
removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517, when services
are available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non-domestic purposes
such as landscape irrigation.
5. The applicant shall contact ITD District 3 regarding the design of the Eagle Road/SH 55
sidewalk and landscape buffer. Provide a written response to staff outlining the results of
said discussions and any specific design standards IT'D may request as part of this
development.
C. Adopt the Recommendations of ACRD as follows:
If the rezone is approved and the District receives a development proposal, the District
intends to provide the following requirements, in addition to any additional requirements
that may apply upon District review of future development, to the City of Meridian:

4. The Applicant shall be required to comply with the I'fI) landscaping requirements for the
frontage on Eagle Road.
5. The Applicant shall be required to provide a public plaza within the development.
6. Pertaining to the Staff Report, and in particular to sections B.3.a.3. and B.3.d., and said
sections shall now read as follows:
B.3.c.3. Any structure over 50,000 square feet shall require a conditional use permit for site
plan review only and not for permitted uses, which are listed sepazately under the
application.
B.3.d. The following standard shall apply to all development on the subject property: "All
loading docks, compactors, emergency generators, trash collection, outdoor storage
or sinular facilities and functions shall be incorporated into the overall building
and/or landscaping design so that the visual and acoustic impacts of said functions
are minimized. All such activites shall be confined between the hours of b:00 a.m.
to 8:00 p.m.
7. The Applicant agreed at the June 15, 2004 public hearing, and will be required, to comply
with the restrictions on the permitted uses, and shall meet the mixed-use requirements for the
development.
8. With the provision of a sound wall an the east boundary, the Applicant shall only be required
to meet the current Meridian City Code requirements pertaining to landscaping east of the
Lowe's building. In other words, a berm is not required.
12. It is found that the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates all of
the subject property as "Mixed Use-Regional." The purpose of the Mixed Use designation is "to
provide for a combinaton of compatible land uses that are typically developed under a master or
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTIl~iG APPLICATION

conceptual plan...and to identify key areas [of the City] which are either infill in nature or situated
in highly visibie or transitioning areas of the City where innovative and Qexible design opportunities
are encouraged. The intent of this designation is to offer the developer a greater degree of design and
use flexibility." (Chapter VII, pg. 97.) The requested C-G zoning generally conforms to this stated
purpose and intent ofthe IviIJ-Regional designation. The applicant is not, however, indicating amix
of uses within this development.
In addition to the Future Land Use Map, it is found that there are Comprehensive Plan text
policies which both support and may not support this annexation. The following Goals, Objectives,
and Action items contained in the 2002 Comprehensive Plan are applicable to the annexation and
zoning application:
Chapter IV, Goal I, Obj. A, #6
Chapter V, Goal III, Obj. B, #8
Chapter VI, Goal I, Obj. A, #3

13. The general vicinity of this project is experiencing a rapid change from agricultural
and low density residentialuses to commercial/urban type development. Champion Park Subdivision
(aka "Parkstone") is a 100+ acre, mixed use development about a '/a mile west of the subject
property, the first phase of which has received final plat approval. Carol Professional Center is a six
acre oi~'ice park {zoned L-O) located approximately one half {%a) mile south of the subject property
on the west side of Eagle Road. Municipal water was extended east of Eagle Road a few years ago to
serve Summer's Funeral Home. Providence Place Subdivision is a large, urban density residential

subdivision located in Boise City east of the property. Therefore, it is found that a rezone of the
proposed property would be compatible with other land use and facility changes in the area.
14. It is found that there is only one (1) specific use listed in the application
(superstore); all other uses aze future. It is recommended that all of the future uses within the
proposed C-G zone be restricted with a DA. Further, to minimize potential noise, odor, air
pollution, and visual pollution, the applicant and staff have prepared a list of uses for the DA.
Some of the more intense uses will be processed through the Conditional Use Permit process. It
is found that with an executed DA that sets guidelines for future uses on this site, and separate
Conditional Use Permit review for future buildings, the requested zoning designation will be
harmonious with and in accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and the MU-Regional
designation.
15. It is found that the majority of future uses on the subject property will not be
hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses if all development and landscaping
ordinances are exercised. Unlessrestricted aspart ofthe DA,twenty-four (24) hour operations would
be allowed on the site. Three (3) loading bays with overhead doors are proposed at the southeast
corner of the building which may, depending upon delivery times, cause a disturbance. A trash
compactor for the superstore is also proposed at the southeast corner of the site which may cause
some disturbance to existing residential uses to the east and south. These and other future uses can
be mitigated through appropriate screening and buffering techniques.
16. It is found that roadway improvements will be required on Ustick Road to handle the
additional traffic generated by future development. The Public Works Department recently
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING MARKET SQUARE
(AZ-04-Q09)
PAGE 14 OF 30
completed construction of the South Slough Trunk extension in the vicinity of this annexation. The
project extended the trunk to the Eagle /CTstick Road intersection. Municipal water is currently
available in Ustick Road in front of the property. A new fire substation was opened eazlier this yeaz
to serve this area. All other public services and facilities appear to be adequate to service this
property.
17. It is found that this development will not cause excessive additional requirements at
public cost. The South Slough Trunk extension was funded by the City of Meridian but will not
create new demands on the public coffer for this development. Other required site improvements will
be funded and constructed by the developer. It is also found that the annexation and zoning alone
will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
18. MCC 11-12-2 and 11-12-3 are intended to mitigate impacts of some uses such as fire
hazards, bulk storage, and contractor's yards. In addition, a DA could establish use parameters that
would prevent detrimental effects. To comply with this finding, is recommended that a DA be
entered into which addresses specific uses.
In terms of traffic generation, this site has approximately 1,230 feet of frontage on Ustick
Road and 1,290 feet of frontage on Eagle Road. The Earth Tech Engineers traffic study submitted to
ACRD estimates the site, at 2010 build-out, to generate 10,825 additional vehicle trips per day with
an AM peak of 272 vehicles per hour and a PM peak of 945 vehicles per hour. Approximately 3 5%
of the total traffic is projected to have Ustick Road destinations and 65% to have Eagle Road
destinations. Ustick Road is not in ACHD's Five Year Work Plan but is in their CIP for roadway
widening within the next 15 years. ACRD is allowing two driveways, aright-inlright-out and a fu11-

access, on Ustick Road. They have also preliminarily approved the new signal proposed at the east
property line. Final determination will be made upon submittal of a development application
(building permit).
On April 23, 2004, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. The Meridian Fire and Police Departments
submitted a list of conditions and needs in order to adequately serve the project, including restricted
access to Eagle Road/SH 55 (see Finding H). The applicant should coordinate the location and
design of refuse container(s) with Sanitary Services Company (SSC). All ofthe detailed conditions
from the Fire and Police Departments and other agencies/departments are addressed in number
paragraph 11 hereinabove.
19. It is found that the proposed and future uses will impact the level and flow of traffic
on the surrounding streets. In accordance with Comp Plan policy #12 (pg. 79) and policy #2 (pg.
107), stafffinds that the number ofvehicular access points to Eagle Road/SH 55 should be restricted
and comply with ITD Type IV access policies in order to preserve the capacity and movement on this
roadway at build-out. City staff, including the Meridian Fire and Police Departments, is
recommending no new approaches be allowed to Eagle Road/SH 55.
20. There is an existing house on the eastern parcel (3580 E. Ustick) which is listed in the
Ada County Historic Sites Inventory as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
However, it is found that this is not a scenic feature of "major" importance and this finding is
technically met.

21. It is found that the annexation of this property would be in the best interest of the
City for the following reasons:
• increased commercial land base supply for development along a primary corridor;
• increased property tax revenue;
• municipal services are available to the area; and
• application substantially complies with the Comprehensive Plan.
It is also found that during previous public hearings, the current property owner was led
to believe that once an annexation path and municipal services were available to this site the City
of Meridian would likely annex the property. This is especially pertinent given the fact that Boise
City currently has services available and is contiguous to the north and east.
22. It is found that if the developer pays for the requested improvements
and complies with the conditions set forth in these Findings of Fact No. 11, and all sub-parts, the
economic welfare of the City and its residents and tax and rate payers will'be protected, a
condition of annexation and zoning designation.
23. It is also found that the development considerations as referenced in Finding No.
11 aze reasonable to require and must be taken into account, in order to assure the proposed
development is designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner which is harmonious
and appropriate in appearance with the existing, or intended character of the general vicinity, in
order to assure that the proposed use will not change the essential character of the affected
vicinity and will insure that the proposed uses will not be hazardous or disturbing to the existing,
or future neighboring uses, particularly considering the impact of proposed development on
potential to produce excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare and odors.

Transportation Policies Applicable to the Mazket Square Annexation:
• "Lazge development proposals that are likely to generate significant traffic should
be assessed for their impact on the transportation system and surrounding land
uses. They should be examined for ways to encourage all forms of transportation
such as transit, walking, and cycling.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
FOR ANNEXATION AND ZONING MARKET SQUARE
(AZ-04-009)
PAGE 22 OF 30
• New development should not rely on cul-de-sacs since they provide poor fire
access, walkability, and neighborhood social life. New development and streets
should be designed to encourage walking and bicycling.
• In addition to providing for enhanced automobile traffic,~Meridian should seek
ways to encourage alternative modes of transport. Improvement in and
encouraged use of public transit systems is an important first step. Public transit
includes bus systems and ridesharing. By fostering such means of high vehicle
occupancies, congestion on roadways can be decreased.
• 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 multiple-use 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.
• Eagle Road is the major north-south arterial in Ada County. The capacity of this
arterial should be protected by minimizing the number and location of private
driveway access connections to this important roadway."
Mixed Use Development Policies Applicable to the Market Square Annexation:
• "Where feasible, multi-family residential uses will be encouraged, especially for
projects with the potential to serve as employment destination centers and when
the project is adjacent to State Highways 20-26, 55 or 69;
• Where mixed use developments are phased, a conceptual site plan for the entire
mixed use area is encouraged with the development application or, depending on
the scope of the development, prior to a formal development application being
submitted;
• In developments where multiple commercial and/or office buildings are proposed
(not residential), the buildings should be arranged to create some form of
common, usable area, such as a plaza or green space;
• Where the project is developed adjacent to low or medium density residential
uses, a transitional use is encouraged."
4. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be
removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section~5-7-5 i 7, when services
are available from the City of Meridian. Wells maybe used for non-domestic purposes
such as landscape irrigation.
