After that time the applicant will be asked to come up and they will have 15 minutes to discuss the project. And after that there are sign-up sheets in the back if anybody wants to speak they have three minutes to do so. At the end of that time I will, then, ask the applicant to rebut or answer any questions that may have come up in those public discussions. And, then, after which time, then, the Commission will, then, have some discussion and render a decision. Item 4: Continued Public Hearing from November 6, 2008: RZ 08-007 Request for Rezone of 5.91 acres from R-8 to R-15 zone for Windham Place by Eagle Spring Investments, LLC — east side of N. Meridian Road, approximately Y2 mile of E. Ustick Road: Moe: So, having said that, then, I would now like to open the continued public hearing for RZ 08-007 for Windham Place and ask for the staff report, please. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission December 4, 2008 Page 3 of 14 Parsons: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. Before you tonight is the application to rezone approximately five acres of land from R-8, medium density residential, to an R-15, medium high density residential zoning district. Concurrently, the applicant has also submitted for a final plat and modification, which is at your discretion to act on tonight, but, basically, in order to proceed with what the applicant is proposing to do, those -- that final -- that preliminary plat would have to be modified and changed for him to proceed with what he's proposing to do. As you can see on here, the subject property is surrounded by R-8 zoned property, primarily single family attached and single family detached homes. Here is an aerial of the site. Again, at this time the applicant has constructed two duplex homes on the site or single family attached homes on this lot here and, then, also notched out a lot and the adjacent lot to the west of that. There is an existing structure on that site. Here is the final plat that was approved back in 2006. To give you a little history on this site, this project came before Planning and Zoning in 2005 with an approved -- with -- at that time the applicant was proposing to do single family attached product. That's why the plat was recorded with lots -- with an average lot size of 4,000 square feet and you also will see on the plat there are some zero lot lines on there where the homes were to be attached and that has been noted on the plat. Now, the applicant met with staff several months ago and rather than having the applicant go through the various processes, staff had recommended the applicant modify the plat and, basically, up -zone the property to an R-15, getting him out of the requirement of having to meet the minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet as it is required in the R-8 zoning district today. With the R-15 zoning designation, he, basically, has a minimum requirement of 2,400 square foot lots and no lot frontages and, again, with the R-8 zoning district, as we have it in the current UDC, or single family duplex product that the applicant is proposing to -- is asking to construct on the site. There is a requirement for a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet, with a lot frontage of 50 feet. Here is the approved site plan. I would mention staff did go out to that site and drove it. All the improvements have been done per the requirements of the subdivision. So, what you see on this approved landscape plan is pretty substantially complete or done and in compliance with what was approved back in 2005. 1 wanted to go up to this map. The reason why we have the continuance -- and what I try to do is let you know what happened is when were getting ready to have a meeting on November 6th, staff did become aware that there was a couple properties that were sold within the subdivision and it was actually where my mouse pointer is, those are the two lots that were sold and, then, when this subdivision same in this gentleman bought the lot back. So, I spoke with the applicant and asked him if either, one, get affidavits of legal interest for most folks to agree to the rezone or you will have to exclude them from the plat. Or, excuse me, from the rezone. And, basically, what has happened is the reason why this one area is notched out is because that is the one property owner that did not want to rezone with this property and just with this being disconnected and with his access to Meridian Road, there can only be something different in the future, so it seemed appropriate to have him removed as well, because of the configuration of that lot and possibly with the extension of maybe a pathway going through that in the future and might be better served -- staff felt it better served to leave them out as well. The applicant has proposed elevations with tonight's rezone. This is what he is proposing for his single family detached product. This is pretty similar to Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission December 4, 2008 Page 4 of 14 what the duplex units look like. You can see there is some glazing in the garage doors, some modulation or different roof planes. Staff has some DA provisions that is requiring a DA be -- required for the site I should say and, basically, I just go with the big ones that we felt were appropriate. We put some language in there that the future homes be subject to certain design standards and that would be designs including gable and hip roof lines facing street, shutters around the windows on the front facade, substantial -- substantial pillars with substantial bases in front facades, accented with brick or stone and also we had a requirement for garage doors to have a glazing element as you see before you tonight. The other provision we had in there, too, was to include the building materials will be constructed -- or the home to be constructed of high quality materials to include hardy plank siding, wood, or stucco in two different building materials and different paint schemes as well. So, we definitely want to keep the quality of homes that are in that area and what are currently being constructed in that area and keep this development consistent with that. The other DA provision that we put in place was that the applicant was subject to a maximum of 23 home sites. So, basically, what was approved back in 2005 and what its final plat as it is today with 23 lots, the applicant has to hold to that and not -- construct no more than 23 homes within that subdivision. As you can see, five lots are currently built on, so that, really, leaves them 18 homes to construct within the subdivision. The other issue that I brought up in the staff report and what I will do is go to that final plat. But there are some things -- one thing I wrote when I was writing the staff report, if you look on lot three here where my pointer is, the lot five, lot eight, and lot nine of block two. Lot three and five has an eight foot PUD easement and that current frontage on those lots is 45 feet and some of the house -- the house plans that the applicant submitted show that the house would be roughly 35 feet. So, if you were to have a five foot side setback or five feet, that doesn't leave them that eight foot PUD easement, that he's three feet encroaching within that setback. So, that was one issue I brought up. And, then, of course, with lots eight and nine their lot frontage is 40 feet and 41 feet respectively and his -- if his homes are 35 feet wide, that leaves him two and a half feet on each side, which wouldn't conform to that. So, I wanted to bring that up in the staff report and I did give the applicant some options. One, he could submit for a property boundary adjustment and adjust those lots to accommodate current housing dimensional site or he could propose another elevation to go with that would, basically, fit on those lots as they are platted today. With that staff is recommending approval with the DA and I would be happy to answer any questions Commission would have. Moe: Thank you. Commissioners, any questions? Newton-Huckabay: I have none. Rohm: I just have one question. That one lot that's been excluded, what's the square footage of that lot, just out of curiosity? Parsons: I'm song, Commissioner Rohm, which lot are you referring to? Rohm: The one that's notched. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission December 4, 2008 Page 5 of 14 Parsons: Okay. Chairman, Commissioner Rohm, it shows 45 feet. It's frontage. Rohm: Forty-five of frontage? Parsons: Yes. Rohm: But the overall square footage of the lot itself? Parsons: That I don't know. Roughly I would say 4,500 square feet, looking at the plat here. Rohm: I guess the only reason why I ask the question is what's the minimum square footage in the zone -- in the R-8 and is it less than the minimum? Parsons: Chairman, Commissioner Rohm, not for a detached product. In the R-8 zoning district the minimum lot size of the product is 4,000 square feet, with a lot frontage of 40 feet. So, that is in conformance with the plat and R-8 zoning district. Rohm: Just curious. Moe: Any other questions? Would the applicant like to come forward, please. And, please, state your name and address for the record. Harris: All these microphones work? My name is Peter Harris. I'm at 6951 Duncan Lane in Boise. And appreciate the opportunity to be able to stand in front of you here and go through this. You know, it's a rather unique situation I think that we are presenting here and the staff has done a good job at claiming the situation, so, hopefully, you know, most of the things are relatively clear. The big thing that -- just to make sure it's clear is that the plat as it's approved, none of the lots are changing size or dimension or anything. Everything that is shown on the plat is already installed. The water meters are in, pressurized irrigation is in. Everything is complete. But the lot lines that are there will remain there and we will build within those -- within the designs of the lot. To reference staffs comments about the setbacks, the -- see if I can work my way through this thing. The elevations that are shown here, particularly the two story elevation, the house is shown as 32 feet wide, so it will fit on all the lots, certainly the ones with the eight foot sideyard setbacks, which the lots are -- are 45 feet wide and that lot in particular hasn't -- the lots with the larger setback has a 13 foot total setback with eight foot on the one side and the five and that takes you down to 32. So, this house would fit on all those lots, which is the reason that we put this one together and any of the other lots that are a little bit less in size, such as 40 feet, we would some have sort of configuration similar to what is shown here and take a little bit of footage out of it in order to make it fit on the lot. I think the other, you know, comment about the -- not that it probably matters at this point -- the one neighbor that didn't sign for the rezone, I think this is a difficult thing to try and explain to, you know, existing people. Typically, a rezone -- certainly rezones with a higher density scares people and they Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission December 4, 2008 Page 6 of 14 were under -- kind of under the impression -- and she was unavailable to me to discuss in much detail, but, you know, there wasn't any neighborhood opposition from any of the -- at our neighborhood meetings or anyone's else. I think that's about it. I think, you know, with the product that we are proposing to put out there, we will put in a nice neighborhood. We are real excited about it. I think that it's something that is -- will, hopefully, move in this marketplace and it will certainly, you know, look good out there. So, I'll stand for any questions if anyone has any questions. Moe: So, then, basically, what you're saying is you agree to all conditions of the staff report? Harris: Yeah. We have no problems with any of the conditions of the staff report. The only comment I guess I would make is that we are not necessarily prepared to submit a -- you know, different house plans for the -- for the varied lots at this point in time. What we would do is we would -- the lot -- the houses that we would submit at building permit issuance would be in conformance with everything that you see here and with the varied pictures and the windows and the garage doors and all those things. It will meet all those conditions. It might just be slightly different looking than what we see here. Moe: Okay. O'Brien: I have one question, Mr. Chair. Moe: Mr. O'Brien. O'Brien: Yeah. Mr. Harris, what -- you said you didn't have the final designs yet on some of the lot sizes, so what do you -- Harris: I'm song, could you speak up. O'Brien: Sure. You said that you hadn't configured what the -- some of this square footage will end up being, so do you have any idea what -- what size or how many square footage you might find in one of the smaller lots that -- configuration? Harris: The house size? O'Brien: Yeah. No. The house square footage. Harris: The square footages. Well, the house that -- the single story here is 1,212 square feet. Oops, I got the wrong pen. I have got my pen. This plan here is 1,212 square feet. This two story down here is 1,500 square feet. So, on the smaller lots what I -- my -- the market's going to tell us what people are looking for and when we build these two houses, those two lots -- there is two lots in particular that create a problem, the two that are on the furthest south end -- I guess I can go back to that here. Somehow. Anyways, it's the two lots that are on the furthest southern end of the property off of Largemont and those are the ones that have a 41 foot and 40 front yard Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission December 4, 2008 Page 7 of 14 -- or front street lot width and one of them is much wider at the back and once you go back 20 feet it probably is 45 feet wide, so it's not going to be a problem. So, there is, really, only one lot and looking at this house plan here, if this -- if this was received on the market, well, we would probably look at this thing and figure out a way to cut a foot out of it and make it work. O'Brien: Thank you. Moe: Just one other thing, just so I understand it. Basically, the point is that in block two, lots three, five, eight and nine to the report, you will bring evidence to City Council showing that those have -- the width has changed, therefore, fitting in those lots? Hams: I guess I'm not quite understanding. The house that I'm showing you here fits on those lots. The two story house is 32 feet wide and it fits on all of the lots, other than lot nine. Moe: Okay. I follow what you're saying. Other than nine. Okay. Harris: And lot nine we would make a modification to that house to make it fit, so when we submitted it for a building permit it would meet all the setback requirements and would be in conformance with the elevations that we are showing here. Moe: I guess my point being is you're going to want to make sure you verify that with City Council. Let them know that. Harris: Verify with City Council that we will be in conformance? Moe: That's correct. Harris: Okay. Moe: Any other questions? Newton-Huckabay: I have none. Moe: Okay. Thank you very much. Harris: Thank you very much. Moe: There is no one signed up. Is there come forward to speak, you're more than questions, Commissioners? Comments? Newton-Huckabay: I have none. Rohm: Mr. Chairman? anyone in the audience that would like to welcome. I don't see a rush here, so -- Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission December 4, 2008 Page 8 of 14 Moe: Mr. Rohm. Rohm: I move that we close the public hearing on RZ 08-007. Marshall: Second. Moe: It's been moved and seconded to close the public hearing on RZ 08-007. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? That motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Rohm: I think with the applicant agreeing to everything in the staff report and I think this project's ready to move forward, unless somebody has comments to the contrary. Moe: I think, Mr. Rohm, you have done so well so far, continue on, please. Rohm: Okay. Good. Mr. Chairman? Moe: Yes, sir. Rohm: I move to approve -- after considering all staff, applicant, and public testimony, I move to recommend approval to City Council of file number RZ 08-007 and do we include that MFP 08-007? 1 don't think we have to include that. That wasn't discussed. As presented in the staff report for the hearing date of December 4th, 2008, with mo modifications to the staff report. Marshall: Second. Moe: It's been moved and seconded to approve RZ 08-007. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? That motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 5: Continued Public Hearing from November 20, 2008: CUP 08-029 Request for Conditional Use Permit approval to construct two drive thru establishments in a C -G zoning district within 300 feet of other drive thru establishments for Sonic / Taco Time by Boise Food Service — north of E. Overland Road, east side of S. Millennium Way and south side of E. Cinema Drive: Moe: Thank you. The next item on the agenda is a continued public hearing on CUP 08-029 for the Sonic and Taco Time. At this time I would like to go on the record that I, Chairman Moe, has reviewed the meeting minutes from the last meeting and am understanding of this project. So, therefore, we will just get an update from staff on this and move forward. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission December 4, 2008 Page 9 of 14 Parsons: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. I guess since you went on record saying that you have read the past minutes and there is no one in the audience to really testify on the project, I think I will just -- if you don't mind, I'll just skip forward to the revised site plan and start from there. Moe: That would be great. Parsons: Thank you. The other thing I'd like to point out to the Commission as well is since this site plan had been revised and the site has increased in size, staff also wanted to make sure that any property surrounding this area -- additional properties that would not be affected with the increase of the size, so we are going around the property list to make sure that no other properties are affected with the change to the site plan without confirming that everyone that was noticed with the previous site plan and for the previous hearing, it's on that exact list, so it appears that we are still within the public noticing requirements of the UDC. And with that I'll go right into the site plan. As you can see, the major changes to the site plan from what you previously saw on November 20th, the biggest change is Taco Time actually shifted to almost an entirely different area on the site. And also the Sonic flipped north and south and the access points that were discussed at that last hearing were on East Cinema and South Millennium Way, have pretty much stayed as proposed, with the addition of the one on the western access will be widened to accommodate traffic a little better and; then, the other access will shift to the west, instead of the east as previously stated in the staff report. The other access point -- what the applicant's proposing to do and what staff has conditioned the applicant to do -- as you can see now the applicant is taking that -- the applicant is proposing to construct this driveway -- eastern driveway as well and provide another connection to South Celebration Avenue. And staff has conditioned them in the staff report to construct that with the building of this site. The other thing that I would point out -- staff has checked the site plan for conformance. All stalls meet the dimensional standards. Driveway aisles meet the dimensional standards. As you can see, because of these drive -- this alignment or redesign of the site, these drive-thrus no longer conflict with each other as they did in the previous site plan. So, these folks using the Taco Time facility will actually be able to exit out this way and Sonic, at least they will have clearer vision on what's happening in this portion of the development to see whether any oncoming traffic's coming into either the access point or leaving the Dutch Brother's site. The other major revision, too, if you will recall, this southeast comer here with a one-way access point and now that's been punched through and, then, they made a change to a two-way driveway access. Staff did receive a revised landscape plan this morning, so I did throw that in the slide show. One other thing I would point out to you is we have -- staff has prepared Findings for tonight -- for this evening, so if the Commission is inclined to move forward with this and recommend -- or approve this revised site plan, then, those Findings are prepared, just to expedite this for the applicant and also the one thing I would point is the landscape plan is not attached to that staff report findings. But there is a condition in the staff report that states that applicant will submit a revised site plan with CZC submittal. So, we will have that covered. So, I haven't really gone in full detail to see if this is in compliance with Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission December 4, 2008 Page 10 of 14 the UDC, but I have met with the applicant over the counter -- or not the applicant, but the gentleman that drew the plans and kind of gave him the UDC requirements and at glance it appears to be pretty substantial to what the UDC would require as far as plantings, as far as trees and as far as the planter width the planter island sizes. So, with that staff would be happy to answer any questions Commission may have regarding the redesign of the site plan. Moe: Okay. Any questions of staff? Newton-Huckabay: I have none. Rohm: Would the applicant like to come forward? Strite: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission, Billy Ray Strite, 1010 Allante. I'm here on behalf of the applicant Boise Food Service. And, once again, as I was here last time, we appreciate the staff support. Once again we appreciate their comments and this time we would appreciate an approval. Have I nothing else, unless there is some questions of me. Moe: Any questions of the applicant? Newton-Huckabay: I have none. Moe: Okay. Thank you much, sir. Strite: Far too easy. Thank you. Moe: And, again, no one is signed up to speak, other than the applicant here. Rohm: Mr. Chairman? Moe: Mr. Rohm. Rohm: I move that we close the public hearing on CUP 08-029 and CUP 08 -- no. Are there two of them at the same number? Newton-Huckabay: No. It's just the one. 08-029. Rohm: Okay. And -- well, that's it. Just CUP 08-029. O'Brien: Second. Rohm: I thought there was two items. Moe: Was there a second on that? Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission December 4, 2008 Page 11 of 14 Rohm: Okay. Yes, there was. Moe: Was there a second? Newton-Huckabay: Yes. Moe: Okay. I'm sorry. It's been moved and seconded to close the public hearing on CUP 08-029. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? That motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Newton-Huckabay: Mr. Chair? Rohm: Commissioner Newton-Huckabay. Newton-Huckabay: I would just like to say when I looked at this I was -- I didn't expect that you -- it was going to be redesigned to this extent and I think it's a way nicer development than it was before. And I think it will be much easier to get around in and so I appreciate the efforts that the applicant went to. Marshall: Mr. Chair? Moe: Yes. Marshall: A couple weeks ago I voted to move this ahead at the time, but I did have significant reservations about the traffic flow and some problems. Considering the fact that the same owner owns both and I thought, well, it's kind of their problem. But I am so pleased to see this redesign. This is significantly better traffic flow and I think in the long haul the applicant will be much more pleased with it, as well as any of the customers. I'm -- this is a much better application. Moe: Okay. O'Brien: I agree with all of that. I was really surprised being able to expand out to the east like that to make it all really fit and I don't think there is going to be an issue with any constriction relative to the 300 foot rule, if you will. I don't see that being an issue. Even with the Dutch Brother's coffee in the south there. So, I'm really . pleased, especially with that access road that goes out from below Taco Time out to the east. I think that really resolved a lot of my concerns being able to get the point through, so, anyway, I'm happy with that. Moe: Okay. Well, then, there is only one more thing to do. O'Brien: Mr. Chair? Moe: Mr. O'Brien. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission December 4, 2008 Page 12 of 14 O'Brien: After considering all staff, applicant, and public testimony, I move to approve file number CUP 08-029, as presented during the hearing date of November 20th, with the following modifications, which are none.

Of course, if the Commission has any comments they wish to provide -- we are not expecting them, but if you do, then, please, let us know. But, otherwise, it's just a noted form -- mostly for the development community. Moe: Any comments to that? Newton-Huckabay: I have no comments on this issue. Moe: No comments. Marshall: None.

Marshall: Mr. Chair? Moe: Mr. Marshall. Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission December 4, 2008 Page 14 of 14 Marshall: I do have a comment, since considering the fact that we already approved the design review, I think it would simply be appropriate to approve the design -- forward on an approved -- a recommended approval of the design review checklist.

The agencies and departments present included: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Parks Department, Meridian Public Works Department, Meridian Police Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. Staff has included comments, conditions, and recommended actions in Exhibit B below. 8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS The 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as "High Density Residential." In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, High Density Residential areas, "allow for the development of multi -family homes in areas where urban services are provided. Residential densities may exceed eight dwelling units per acre. This residential development might include duplexes, apartment buildings, townhouses, and other multi -unit structures. Other uses within a development may be considered under a planned development permit process. A desirable project would consider the placement of parking areas, fences, berms, and other landscaping features to serve as buffers between neighboring uses." The proposed baseball fields are an accessory use to the existing education facility. Upon redevelopment of the property, the future land use map designates the site for high density residential uses. Meridian High School PA Systems CUP -08-024 Page 4 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 2, 2008 Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the proposed use (staff analysis below policy in italics): • "Support multi -use facilities between schools and the community." (Chapter VI, Goal I, Objective A, Action item 3) Staff believes that the school ball fields contribute to the multi -use facilities available within the City. "Develop indoor/outdoor multiple use facilities (i.e., recreation center, fairgrounds, etc.) for a variety of recreational, educational, cultural, and sports purposes and uses." (Chapter VI, Goal III, Objective A, Action item 13) The ball fields for the school will also serve the community as additional fields available for use by other baseball/softball groups. "Ensure compatibility of schools with neighborhoods and adjacent land uses (both commercial and residential)." (Chapter VI, Goal I, Objective B) Staff believes that if certain preventative measures are taken, the proposed ball field speaker system could be compatible with neighboring residential uses if the school is conscious and respectful of the neighboring residential properties. (see Section 10, Analysis below). Staff believes that the proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will be compatible with the existing adjacent residential uses if the applicant complies with the conditions of approval included in Exhibit B. Staff recommends that the Commission rely on any verbal or written testimony that may be provided at the public hearing when determining if the applicant's request is appropriate for this property. 9. Unified Development Code (UDC)/Meridian City Code (MCC) UDC 11-3A-13: The high school is an existing approved use on the subject property. The proposed PA system for the ball fields is allowed an accessory use to the existing school use. However, a CUP is required if the speaker system is located within a residential district and if the speakers are located within 100 feet of a residential district. MCC 4-24: Noises; Public Address Systems: A. Radios, televisions, loudspeakers: It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a radio, television set, loudspeaker or other noisome device in such a manner that it disturbs the peace and quiet of nearby residents. B. Public Address Systems; Permit: The use of public address systems, whether stationary or mobile, are prohibited without first obtaining a permit from the City Clerk therefore. In the case of the use of a stationary public address system, a permit shall be issued only after an application for such permit has been signed by 75% of occupants of residences, as determined by the records of the municipal utilities billing services records, within a radius of 500 feet of the proposed location of such public address system. (1955 Code §8-905; amd. 1999 Code). MCC 6-3-6: Noises Creating Public Disturbance: Prohibited Acts: It is unlawful for any person to cause, or for any person in possession of property to allow to originate from the property, sound that is a public disturbance noise. B. Exceptions: 2. Sounds caused by activities upon any outdoor municipal, school, religious, or publicly Meridian High School PA Systems CUP -08-024 Page 5 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 2, 2008 owned property, park, or facility, provided that such activities have been authorized by the owner of such property or facility or its agent from prohibited acts referenced in this section of City code. 7. Sounds caused by devices or machinery that is part of the use within the confines of the particular zoning designation that the device is located or pursuant to a conditional use permit (i.e., drive-thru window speakers, car lot PA systems). C. Public Disturbance Noise Time Period: Public disturbance noises shall not be permitted within the City between the hours of 11 pm and 6 am or at any time so as to unreasonably disturb or interfere with the peace, comfort, or enjoyment of others. Note: Staff consulted Bill Nary, City Attorney, to determine what sections of MCC related to noise and public address systems apply to the requested use. Mr. Nary stated, in his opinion, activities that occur on school grounds such as the proposed PA system are exempt from noise ordinance restrictions/requirements, unless a CUP is required In that case, the applicant is subject to the conditions of approval of the CUP. 10. ANALYSIS a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: Staff is generally supportive of the CUP request as proposed, with the following comments: CUP: The applicant is requesting CUP approval for two outdoor speaker systems in a residential district and for two of the speakers to be located within 100 feet of a residential district, as required by UDC 11-3A-13.One of the speakers is located 65 feet from the property line and the other is located 95 feet from the property line of a residential district (the two other speakers are located over 100 feet from the residential property line and do not require CUP approval). There is only one residential property, the Geile property, located at 2150 W. Pine Avenue, directly adjacent to ball fields on the west. There are also residential properties in The Vineyards Subdivision along the north boundary of the school property but they are outside of the 100 feet distance that requires CUP approval. The applicant states in their narrative that they plan on working with the neighbor to determine the decibel level that would be acceptable for all parties. The sound system does have a master volume control that can be adjusted and set at a maximum level. The speakers have a focal range or pattern that is oriented toward the bleachers which helps the sound be directed only toward the receivers. The location of these speakers is adjacent to bleachers and light poles and is not aimed directly toward the adjacent residence. Staff visited the site and found the speakers, which have already been installed on the light poles as shown in Exhibit A.3, to be pointed toward the bleachers as stated by the applicant. However, the adjacent residential home to the west is also in line with the orientation of the speakers, as the home is directly adjacent to the bleachers (see aerial map in Exhibit A.4). Staff contacted Alan Donnell, an audio consultant at A Atronics, who installed the sound system to obtain information about the system and discuss other viable options for placement of the speakers that would lessen the degree of impact on the adjacent neighbor. Staff suggested relocating the speakers to the rear or side of the bleachers facing away from the Geile property. Shielding the speakers on the side facing the adjacent residence may also be an option to decrease the sound to the rear or side of the speakers that don't face the bleachers. Another option would be to place the speakers in front of the bleachers on the back side of the backstop. Both of these options would still allow the speakers to be oriented toward the bleachers but would enable the speaker volume to be turned down as the speakers would be closer to the audience. Mr. Donnell agreed either of the options would decrease the impact on the adjacent neighbors. Staff believes Meridian High School PA Systems CUP -08-024 Page 6 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 2.2008 relocating the speakers, which would allow for a lower level of sound, would make the proposed use more compatible with the existing adjacent residential properties, especially the Geile property, as they are the nearest to the fields. Therefore, Staff is recommending as a condition of approval that the applicant work with A Atronics to determine new locations for all 4 of the speakers that would impact the neighbors less than the current locations, as discussed above. Further, Staff recommends the applicant work with the Geile's to determine an acceptable level of sound for the adjustment of the volume on the speakers to serve the purpose as well as not create an excessive disturbance. City Code: Meridian City Code (MCC) exempts sounds caused by any outdoor school owned facility provided that such activities have been authorized by the owner of such property and are not prohibited acts, as referenced in MCC 6-3-6. Site Plan: Staff has reviewed the site plan (prepared by Hummel Architects, dated 2/27/06, labeled as Sheet A1.01), included as Exhibit A.2, and submitted with this application. The site plan depicts the locations of the speakers in relation to the property boundary shared with the adjacent residentially zoned property. The following items should to be shown on a revised site plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application: • The 4 existing speakers (2 on each ball field) should be relocated either to the rear or side of the bleachers facing away from the Geile property, or in front of the bleachers on the back side of the backstop to enable the volume level to be decreased. Hours of Operation: The applicant states in their narrative, "During baseball season (from March to May), the PA system will be used four to five times a week, Monday through Saturday. The hours of operation will be 3:00 pm to 10 pm in the case of overtime. During the summer season there will be sporadic games during the weekends used by Youth Leagues and other community baseball groups. If other affiliations use these fields they must abide by the same hours of operation as the school does." Staff has no objections to the proposed hours of operation. Staff is requesting the hours of operation be limited to between the hours of 8 am and 10 pm. Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC): A CZC application is required to be submitted prior to using the proposed speaker system. The site plan submitted with the CZC shall be revised to comply with the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit B of this report and shall be submitted prior to establishment of the new use. All improvements must be installed prior to occupancy. Letter of Testimony: A letter of testimony was received from Paul Geile (on behalf of his parents, Tom and Barbara Geile, the adjacent neighbors to the west) on September 16, 2008. b. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of CUP -08-024 for two outdoor speaker systems in a residential district within 100 feet of a residential district, as presented in the Staff Report for the hearing date of October 2, 2008, based on the Findings of Fact as listed in Exhibit C and subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit B. The Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item on November 20, 2008. At the public hearing, they moved to approve CUP -08-024. 11. EXHIBITS A. Drawings 1. Vicinity/Zoning Map 2.

Exhibit B Page 2 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE BEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 2, 2008 C. Required Conditional Use Permit Findings from UDC The Commission shall base its determination on the Conditional Use Permit request upon the following: 1. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and meet all the dimensional and development regulations in the district in which the use is located. The Commission finds that the existing site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use but does not comply with the dimensional regulations for ball field speaker systems in the R4 zoning district within 100 feet of a residential district. Therefore, the applicant is requesting CUP approval as required by UDC 11-3A.13. 2. That the proposed use will be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accord with the requirements of this Title. The Commission finds that the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation for this property is High Density Residential in which the UDC supports public education institution uses. The Commission finds that the proposed use is accessory to the primary education institution use and is generally harmonious with the requirements of the UDC with approval of the subject CUP (See Sections 8 and 10 above for more information regarding the requirements for this use). 3. That the design, construction, operation and maintenance will be compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential character of the same area. The Commission finds that, if the Applicant complies with the conditions outlined in this report, the operation of the proposed use should be compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing and intended character of the area. Further, the Commission believes that the proposed use will not adversely change the essential character of the area. 4. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity. The Commission finds that, if the Applicant complies with the conditions outlined in this report, the proposed use will not adversely affect other property in the area. 5. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, schools, parks, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, and sewer. Staff finds that the site will be adequately served by the previously mentioned public facilities and services. 6. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional costs for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. If approved, the Applicant will be financing any improvements required for development. The Commission finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare. 7. That the proposed use will not involve activities or 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. Exhibit C Page 2 r �I CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 2, 2008 The Commission recognizes that traffic and noise is a concern; however, the Commission does not believe that the amount generated by the proposed new use of the property will be detrimental to any persons, property, or the general welfare of the public as there are no nearby residents. The Commission does not anticipate the proposed use will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. 8. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic, or historic feature considered to be of major importance.

COMMENTS MEETING On October 30, 2008, a joint agency and departments meeting was held with service providers in this area. The agencies and departments present included: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Public Works Department, and Sanitary Service Company. Staff has included comments, conditions, and recommended actions in Exhibit B below. 8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS The 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as "Mixed Use - Community." Per Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, the Mixed Use land use category contains five sub -categories. "Generally, the mixed-use designation will provide for a combination of compatible land uses that are typically developed under a master or conceptual site plan. The purpose of this designation is to identify key areas which are either infill in nature or situated in highly visible or transitioning areas of the city where innovative and flexible design opportunities are encouraged. The intent of this designation is to offer the developer a greater degree of design and use flexibility." The following standards apply to the MU -C category: 1) Up to 25 acres may be non-residential uses and 2) Up to 200,000 square feet of non-residential building area is allowed. Staff finds that the request generally conforms to the stated purpose, intent, and standards of the MU - C land use category within the Comprehensive Plan. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the proposed use (staff analysis in italics): Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B, Action 3 (page 109) — Locate small-scale neighborhood commercial areas within planned residential developments as part of the development plan. The subject property was included in the planned development for Lochsa Falls Subdivision. The proposed fitness facility will offer a needed service in this area and will be easily accessed by the surrounding residents of Lochsa Falls Subdivision. Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B, Action 5 (page 109) — Locate new community commercial areas on arterials or collectors near residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining residential areas. This site is located adjacent to Chinden Boulevard, an arterial roadway, and Lochsa Falls Subdivision, a residential development. The proposed fitness facility should complement the surrounding residential uses while providing a much-needed service in this area. Chapter V, Goal III, Objective D, Action 3 (page 43) — Require all new parking lots to provide landscaping in internal islands. The parking lot and landscaping in internal island has already been constructed on this site. Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action 2 (page 114) — Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets. This site is not proposing and is not approved for direct access to Chinden Boulevard, a principal arterial roadway. Access to the site will be provided from W. Everest Lane, a private street within Lochsa Falls Subdivision. Neighborhood Fitness CUP -08-030 Page 4 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 20, 2008 • Chapter IV, Goal I, Objective A, Action 6 (page 26) —Permit new residential, commercial, or industrial developments only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City. City services can be provided to the subject property. Staff believes that the proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the surrounding uses. 9. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (Applicable Sections) a. UDC Table 11-2B-2 lists indoor recreation (fitness) facilities as a "conditional use" use in the L- O district. b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the commercial districts is to provide for the retail and service needs of the community in accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Four districts are designated which differ in the size and scale of commercial structures accommodated in the district, the scale and mix of allowed commercial uses, and the location of the district proximity to streets and highways. 10. ANALYSIS a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: Staff is supportive of the proposed CUP request based on the following comments: Conditional Use Permit (CUP): A CUP is requested for an indoor recreation (fitness) facility in an L -O zoning district, as required by UDC Table 11-2B-2. The applicant proposes to operate a 24-hour fitness facility in the existing 7,776 square foot building on this site. Because the site is located in an office/commercial area and does not directly abut, or impact adjacent residences, Staff believes that the proposed fitness facility is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan future land use map designation of MU -C for this site. Dimensional Standards: Staff has reviewed the site plan submitted with this application and found it in compliance with the dimensional standards listed in UDC 11-2B-3 for the L -O zone. Access: Access to this site is provided from W. Everest Lane, a private street. Existing driveways are located within platted cross access ingress/egress easements for circulation within the site.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS 11�1", 4 , , W _W The 2002 Com rehensive Plan Future Land Use Ma desi designates the sub ect roe as 'Mixed Use p P gn j property rtY ,, ��, .- — Regional (MU -R)." Per Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan the Mixed Use land use category contains five sub -categories. "Generally, the mixed-use designation will provide for a combination of I'll'11-xr compatible land uses that are typically developed under a master or conceptual site plan. The purpose ,� of this designation is to identify key areas which are either infill in nature or situated in highly visible1.11 or transitioning areas of the city where innovative and flexible design opportunities are encouraged. {_. 11 '�'"-�� The intent of this designation is to offer the developer a greater degree of design and use flexibility." S 1'IF I The purpose is to designate areas at predominant corners of major arterials that provide a mix of employment, retail and residential or public uses. The developments should be anchored by uses that have a regional draw with the appropriate supporting uses. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses, . , including residential and to avoid predominantly single use developments such as a regional retail center. This category includes uses such as grocery stores, drug stores, coffee/sandwich shops, dry 5"7 cleaner/Laundromat, professional offices, retail/gift shops, clothing stores, garden centers, restaurants, � �:I'll q banks, drive-through facilities, auto service stations, department stores, medicaUdental clinics, ` � 11 p - � schools, parks, churches, public uses, clubhouses, hardware stores, salons, daycares, entertainment uses, major employment centers, and clean industry. " E The subject site is currently zoned C -G, which complies with the MU -R land use designation. Staff A� believes the proposed drive-through establishments will generally conform to the stated purpose, intent, and standards of the MU -R land use category within the Comprehensive Plan and complement it.11 existing uses in the area. Currently in the area there is a mix of uses including a movie theater, muitl- ".: " Z 4F. tenant buildin s personal service shops, restaurants retail Harley Davidson Dealership, and animal buildings, P, Y P, 1 ., hospital.
