the -- basically, a brief overview of the project. We have all also had time to review the
project as well. Once the -- the Planning Department has made their comments and
whatnot, I will, then, ask for the applicant to come up and the applicant will have 15
minutes to explain the project and any comments they have to or for of the project and
whatnot. There is a sign-up sheet in the back. Once the applicant has finished talking,
it will be public testimony time and if you want to speak to the Commission, you can sign
up in the back. You have three minutes to make your comments. Once -- not that there
is a lot of people here tonight, but once the list is empty I will ask if there is anyone else
that would like to speak and, if so, you would have three minutes to speak on behalf of
-- however. After that point I will, then, ask the applicant to come back up and give any
rebuttal testimony or explain any questions that had been asked early on.
Item 4: Public Hearing: CUP 08-032 Request for Conditional Use Permit for a
residential care facility in an L-O district for Locust Grove Plaza by
Ruby/Edwards: Architecture + Design -1695 S. Locust Grove Road:
Moe: So, having said that, I would like to now open the hearing and start with the staff
report, please.
Wafters: Thank you, Chairman Moe, Members of the Commission. The application
before you is a Conditional Use Permit for a residential care facility in an L-O zoning

district. The property is located at 1695 South Locust Grove Road on the southwest
corner of Locust Grove and Overland. The site is currently vacant. Residential
properties exist to the south and west. A gas station, convenience store, to the north
and vacant commercial property to the east across Locust Grove Road. This site was
annexed in 2007 with an L-O zoning district. A development agreement was approved
at that time that restricted the site to office uses only. An amendment to the
development agreement was approved by Council on January 13th of this year that
allowed for the subject assisted living facility with conditional use approval. The
proposed site plan and building elevations comply with those approved with the DA
modification. The applicant has submitted a site plan showing a 30,106 square foot,
two story, 54 bed assisted living facility to be constructed in two phases. One access
point to the site is proposed via Locust Grove at the south end of the site. No access is
proposed or approved via Overland Road. The two story building is proposed to be
located away from the adjacent residential property boundary next to Locust Grove and
Overland Road, with parking at the rear of the structure adjacent to the residential
property. The proposed on-site parking meets and exceeds UDC standards. Because
there. is a significant slope to this site from the adjacent street toward the residential
properties, bollards are proposed at the southwest corner at the bottom of the grade in
line with the driveway entrance. An internal pedestrian pathway and a plaza area for
the residents are proposed as amenities on the site. When the development agreement
modification request was heard by City Council on January 13th, Council requested that
staff work with the applicant and neighbors to identify specific landscaping to be planted
within the buffer to residential uses to screen the neighbors, as well as not create an
enforcement problem for the police department. Staff met with the applicant and based
on our discussions the applicant revised the landscape plan and cross-section of the
berm. Staff contacted both of the neighbors, Gene Viertel and Bruce Waite, who
testified at the Council hearing, for comments on this application. Mr. Viertel and his
neighbor Mike Bussert came into the office today to voice concerns about the need for
additional landscaping along the top of the berm and an increase in the height of the
berm. The submitted landscape plan complies with UDC standards. Across-section of
the proposed berm depicts anti-personnel landscaping between the berm and the fence
to deter people from loitering in this area in response to concerns of the police
department. These are the proposed building elevations for the assisted living facility.
Building materials depicted include shake siding in two different colors. Lap siding and
belly band, simulated stone veneer and architectural composition roof shingles. Staff is
supportive of the proposed elevations, as they comply with UDC standards, design
standards and the elevations in the amended development agreement for this site.
Written testimony was received from Mike Ball, Sportsman Point Homeowners
Association president, Mike Bussert and the applicant, in agreement with the staff
report. Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit with the conditions
stated in the staff report. Staff will stand for any questions the Commission may have at
this time.
Moe: Any questions of staff at the present time?
O'Brien: 1 have none.

Marshall: My only question would be -- so the parking meets UDC standards. Is that
before or after the addition?
Wafters: Chairman Moe, Commissioner Marshall, UDC parking standards are met after
the addition is constructed.
Marshall: Thank you.
Wafters: There is no parking proposed within that area that's proposed for future
expansion.
Moe: Okay. I don't know that I heard you say it, but did the sidewalk get changed to the
eight foot wide, as opposed to the five foot?
Wafters: Chairman Moe, there is a condition of approval that they provide an eight foot
wide sidewalk, yes. From the perimeter sidewalk to the main building entrance.
Moe: Okay. Thank you very much. Anything else? Would the applicant like to come
forward, please?
Halladay: Is it on? Is there a way to turn this on? Okay. Can you hear?
O'Brien: I can't hear.
Marshall: I can hear him, but I can't hear him over the speaker system. I have to agree.
Wafters: Well, you're going to have to speak up, I guess.
Halladay: Okay. My name is Scot Halladay. I reside at -- my name is Scott Halladay,
I'm the applicant. I reside at 9246 West Rockstone Court, Kuna, Idaho. Thank you for
the opportunity to present for this application to the Commissioners. Just wanted to
start off that as mentioned in the staff report, this was previously approved for light office
and we had the development agreement approved for a light office. If I could have the
previously approved building show up on the monitor. This is the building that we
previously had approved. Compared to what we have -- what we are proposing now
and what the new development agreement has been approved for, we have received a
lot of approval that they like the new proposed building a lot better. It's more residential
looking. We feel that it's a much better transition from the residential properties that are
to the west and south of our proposed project, rather that having the -- what was
originally approved. In our neighborhood meetings that we had, the overall feeling was
they -- they like this much better. Obviously, they would rather see houses there, but
since it's zoned for light office they would rather see an assisted living center that
provided a much better transition. When we did meet with the neighbors in the
neighborhood meetings, they -- they did like also in the new proposed building it is
approximately ten feet shorter. That was one of their concerns in the beginning that the
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commissioll~ •
February 5, 2009
Page 5 of 9
building was high. The building itself will be sitting about approximately six to eight feet
lower than the sidewalk level, so that will also help with the overall height of the building,
so it won't seem so large. They also like the idea that there would be less traffic with an
assisted living center, rather than a light office complex and also that it would be much
quieter during the day and there would be minimal traffic at night, just with staff
changes. They did have some concerns. We feel that we have addressed -- we have
addressed those with the original approval with the light office building. We had the
dumpster right back up against the residential. We have moved that across the parking
lot. That was one of the concerns that we feel we have addressed that. We have
moved it closer to the building and further away from the residential properties. We
have included the landscape berm. We have -- one of their concerns was headlights
coming up over into their backyard as people come down into the driveway. So, we
have -- we have -- in the cross-section where you saw that the berm will be
approximately two feet higher than the level of the parking lot and we are proposing to
put landscaping on the top of that to help shield that and that would be evergreen type
landscaping, so during the wintertime also those headlights would be blocked. And,
then, another concern that was expressed that would be the water drainage with that
much area having asphalt and the building structure itself. We have -- that will,
obviously, be addressed with our civil engineer and be reviewed by the city's
engineering department to make sure that we do retain our water on site. So, we feel
that we have -- we have addressed that. We just feel an assisted living facility is a
much better transition from -- from residential to the commercial. Obviously, there is
commercial across the street, a gas station, and the property to the -- to the east I think
is RUT currently, but I'm assuming since it's on a major intersection that when they do
propose to develop that it will be commercial. So, we just felt that it would act as a
buffer between Sportsmans Point Subdivision over to the commercial area and we just
feel that it would be a much better looking facility. We feel that the neighbors that we
have met with -- we feel that we have met the best that we can their concerns and that's
all I have to present. I will stand for any questions.
Moe: As far as the staff report, you're in agreement with the report?
Halladay: Yes, we are.
Moe: Okay.
O'Brien: I have one question.
Moe: Okay.
O'Brien: Mr. Commissioner. Between the berm and the final fence you're going to have
low profile I think shrubberies and things of this nature. A mix of that. Is there going to
be lighting going -- shining away from the fence towards the building to help illuminate
that -- that area that the police had some concerns with?
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission •
February 5, 2009
Page 6 of 9
Halladay: I believe -- and Sonya might need to clarify this, but I believe that the
ordinances are that the lighting has to be shining away from residential and that was
one of the concerns that they did have is the lighting coming off the facility. So, I don't
know that that area back there will be lit.
Moe: Okay.
O'Brien: I know they have some around the pathways, that low profile. I think they call
them barrel or --
Halladay: Yeah. Just a low profile light that --
O'Brien: Yeah.
Halladay: -- will be on the pathway to light up the pathway.
O'Brien: That would be my only concern about the -- you know, along with the
shrubberies, you know, without any kind of lighting there I can see it trying to keep
people out, because they'd have to walk through this heavy shrub, but it also provides
hiding places.
Halladay: Yeah.
O'Brien: And I just have a concern about the lighting.
Halladay: I guess we have got -- which one we want to address, whether the neighbors
will want lights back there or --
O'Brien: Well, I don't know if it's shining away from it, you know, somehow -- low profile
lighting, I guess. I don't know. It's just a question.
Moe: Any other questions of the applicant?
Rohm: I have none.
Moe: Thank you very much.
Halladay: Thank you.
Moe: We have had one sign up, I think it's -- is it Ethan Messer? Okay. From the
audience he says he has nothing to add. So, we had the applicant. We have no one
else. Commissioners, any comments? Questions?
Newton-Huckabay: Mr. Chair?
Moe: Commissioner Newton-Huckabay.

one question on timing. Sonya, you made the comment
s in the area came in today and asked for the berm to be
w. Or does this current landscape plan depict a higher
Wafters: Chairman Moe, Commissioner Newton-Huckabay, Commissioners, they came
into the office today, they voiced a concern that the proposed two foot berm was not
high enough for pickup trucks and SUV vehicles and --
Newton-Huckabay: Wasn't that in an a-mail, too?
Wafters: Yes, I believe it was.
Newton-Huckabay: Okay.
Wafters: They are in the audience tonight if you'd like to -- any -- ask them any
additional questions or get their testimony on that.
Newton-Huckabay: Okay.
Moe: Is there anyone that wants to come up for any testimony?
Rohm: Just a comment on that --
Moe: Okay.
Rohm: -- Mr. Chairman. You know, generally speaking, I think the assisted living has
more of it's traffic throughout the day and people are pretty well settling down in the
early evening and I'm not sure that there is going to be a significant impact on the
neighborhood as a whole due to vehicular traffic and I think the additional two feet that's
in the proposal should meet the needs of the development. That's just my assessment.
Moe: Okay. I would agree.
Marshall: I personally would have a little bit of a problem trying to raise that. To raise
that you're actually going to have to move the parking lot back and it can't move back
into the building anymore, because you're already at a two to one slope. Placing anti-
personnel landscape bushes in there -- any more of a slope and you're not going to be
able to have those plantings back there. I would rather have it a little shallower at the

Commissioners, there is only one other item that needs to be done.
Newton-Huckabay: Chairman Moe, I'd like to add an item to the agenda. Can I do
that?
Moe: Yes, you may. I'm not sure whether -- well, I guess we can -- you can sure ask
the question, Commissioner Newton-Huckabay.
Newton-Huckabay: I want to propose that we go to one meeting per month as the
agenda warrants and I'm not sure exactly how we accomplish that, but I'd like to throw it
out there.
Baird: Mr. Chair? If I could recommend you go ahead and take that adjournment
motion and have that discussion off the record, because that would probably be
achieved through working with staff. I'm just --
Newton-Huckabay: So, it doesn't have to be official?
Baird: At some point it will be official, but without the concurrence of the planning
director, the Mayor, you probably want to put it on a future agenda. But I would

encourage you to talk -- discuss it tonight with the staff that's here and -- but that's
probably best made off the record at this point.

SUBJECT: CUP-08-031 -Meridian Stars Dance
1. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The Applicant, Cynthia Rodriguez, is requesting Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval of an indoor
recreation facility (dance studio) in an I-L zoning district. Per UDC Table 11-2B-2, a Conditional Use
Permit is required for an indoor recreation facility.
The site houses a 13,160 square foot structure with 8 tenant spaces. Currently there are two tenants
who occupy a portion of the building; Watson Automotive and Merry Maids. The applicant intends to
lease two of the vacant tenant spaces to operate a dance studio. At this time, the applicant is only
proposing interior improvements and change of use; therefore no additional site improvements are
required per the UDC. However, in approving any conditional use, the Planning & Zoning
Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions, sureties and safeguards that are more restrictive
standards than those generally required in the UDC (UDC 11-SB-6D).

Meridian Stars Dance CUP-08-031 Page 3
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING~ARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARI~DATE OF JANUARY 15, 2009
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 "Industrial."
Per Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, the Industrial land use category "includes areas that are
designated to allow a range of industrial uses to support industrial and commercial activities and to
develop with sufficient urban services. In light industrial areas, uses may include warehouses, storage
units, light manufacturing, and incidental retail and office uses."
In the general vicinity an indoor soccer facility is operating which is a similar use as proposed by the
applicant. Therefore, Staff finds that the request generally conforms to the stated purpose and intent
of the Industrial designation 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 III, Objective A, Action 1 -Require that development projects have planned
for the provision of all public services.
When the City established its Area of City Impact, it planned to provide City services to the
subject property. The City of Meridian plans to provide municipal services to the subject
property in the following manner:
- Sanitary sewer and water service is extended to the project..
- The subject property is within the jurisdiction of the Meridian Fire District.
- The subject property is serviced by the Meridian Police Department (MPD).
- The roadways adjacent to the subject lands are currently owned and maintained by the
Ada County Highway District (ACHD). This service will not change.
- The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian School District No. 2. This
service will not change.
- The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian Library District. This service
will not change and the Meridian Library District should suffer no revenue loss as a
result of the subject annexation.
Municipal, fee-supported, services will be provided by the Meridian Building Department, the
Meridian Public Works Department, the Meridian Water Department, the Meridian Wastewater
Department, the Meridian Planning Department, Meridian Utility Billing Services, and Sanitary
Services Company.
• Encourage compatible uses to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land. (Chapter VII,
Goal IV)
Most of the industrial buildings surrounding this site are smaller scale buildings which house
multiple tenants that support multiple uses. Therefore, Staff believes that the proposed use
should have minimal impacts on traffic generation and off-set business hours should not
conflict with other uses in the area.
• Chapter N, 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.
The subject property lies within the boundaries of the City of Meridian and is provided with
City services.
Meridian Stars Dance CUP-08-031 Page 4
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARIN~ ATE OF JANUARY 15, 2009
• "Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping." (Chapter V, Goal III,
Objective D, Action item 5)
The landscaping approved on the site is in conformance with the UDC landscaping standards
at the time of application approval.
• 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 has already been constructed on this site.
Staff believes that the proposed use is consistent with the applicable Comprehensive Plan goals and
objectives.
9. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (Applicable Sections)
a. UDC Table 11-2B-21ists indoor recreation facilities (dance studio) as a "conditional use" use in
the I-L zoning district.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the I-L district is to provide for convenient
employment centers of light manufacturing, research and development, warehousing, and
distributing. In accord with the Meridian comprehensive plan, the I-L district is intended to
encourage the development of industrial uses that are clean, quiet and free of hazardous or
objectionable elements and that are operated, entirely, or almost entirely, within enclosed
structures. Accessibility to transportation systems is a requirement of this district.
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 facility in an I-L
zoning district, as required by UDC Table 11-2B-2. If the subject CUP is approved, the site will
be subject to the indoor recreation facility standards in UDC 11-4-3-2.
Site/Landscape Plan: Asite/landscape plan was submitted for this site (dated 7/02/98 & 12/08,
prepared by JGT Architecture & Mike Fairchild, attached as Exhibit A.2) showing the location of
the existing building, parking areas, drive aisles, planter islands, and trash enclosure. Existing
trees and landscaping are also shown on the plan. Staff previously approved this site for
compliance with the approval of a CZC in 1998.
Currently, the site does not conform to the current landscape requirements of the UDC and
requires a minimum 5-foot wide planter islands ever twelfth parking stall except where parking
stalls are adjacent to loading areas in the I-L zoning district. The parking stalls along the north
side of the building are deficient of one planter island. Since the applicant is only proposing
interior modifications and a change in use, UDC-11-3B-2D requires no additional landscaping on
the site.
Building Elevations: Photos of the existing building were submitted with this application and
are attached in Exhibit A.3 of this staff report. Because the applicant is not proposing any exterior
modifications, no changes are recommended to the exterior of the building.
Parking: In industrial districts, one off-street parking space is required per 2000 square feet of
gross floor area, per UDC 11-3C-6B. Based on the 13,160 square foot facility, 7 parking spaces
are required for the site. Forty-four parking spaces are provided (including 2 handicap spaces),
Meridian Stars Dance CUP-08-031 Page 5
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING ~ARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARII~DATE OF JANUARY 15, 2009
which exceeds the number required. All stalls on the site comply with the dimensional. standards
of the UDC.
Hours of Operation: The proposed hours of operation for the dance studio are Monday-
Thursday 4:30 pm-8:30 pm. Staff is supportive of the proposed hours of operation and believes
the proposed hours will not conflict with other businesses operating on the site.
Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC): A CZC (Stonebridge Business Park) was approved
on July 9, 1998 for the existing building on this site. Anew CZC is required for the change in
use of this site from office/warehouse to dance studio, prior to establishment of the new use.
