VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
The subject property is designated "Mixed Use -Community (MU-C)" on the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Map. Per the Comprehensive Plan (page 103), the following standards apply to MU-C areas: Up to
25 acres ofnon-residential uses permitted within the MU-C areas as shown on the future land use map (over
25 acres of non-residential uses shall be permitted through the CUP process); up to 200,000 square feet of
non-residential building area; residential densities of 3 to 15 dwelling units per acre. Sample uses include:
grocery stores, drug stores, coffee/sandwich shops, dry cleaner/Laundromat, salons, daycare, professional
offices, medical/dental clinics, retaiUgift shops, schools, parks, churches, clubhouses, public uses, clothing
stores, garden centers, hardware stores, restaurants, banks, drive-thru facilities, auto service station, and
department stores.
Although this property is designated MU-C and daycares are listed as a potential use within this designation,
because of the surrounding industrial uses, zoning, & general industrial character of this area, Staff finds the
proposed daycare center is not an appropriate use for this property, nor would it be compatible with existing
abutting uses. See Analysis in Section IX below for more information.
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 currently provides municipal services to the subject property in the
following manner:
• Sanitary sewer and water service is provided to the property.
• The lands are serviced by the Meridian Fire Department (MFD).
• The lands are serviced by the Meridian Police Department (MPD).
PAGE3
• 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 #2. This service will not
change.
• The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian Library District. This service will not
change.
Municipal, fee-supported, services will continue to 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.
• Chapter VII, Goal IV (page 112) -Encourage compatible uses to minimize conflicts and maximize use
of land.
Daycare centers and industrial uses are both intense land uses. Daycare centers generate noise, peak
parking demands, and automobile traffic. Industrial uses generate noise, odor, truck traffic-especially
during loading and unloading periods. Although both are intense uses, Staff is of the opinion the
proposed daycare center is not compatible with abutting industrial uses for the following reasons: 1) the
existing driveway access to this site serves both the multi-tenant industrial building & the proposed
daycare; 2) the loading area for the industrial building is on the west side of the building where the main
drive aisle is located; 3) the adjoining parking lot to the south of the proposed daycare serves the
industrial building; 4) the existing industrial uses may cause harm to children due to noise, odor, fumes,
conflicts in maneuvering trucks with automobiles; 5) conflicts with children and trucks in the parking
areas.
• Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action 2 (page 114) -Restrict curb cuts and access points on
collectors and arterial streets.
One access to the site is provided via E. Pine Avenue, a minor arterial street; no other access to the site
is proposed or approved with this application.
• Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action 5 (page 114) -Require appropriate landscape and buffers
along transportation corridor (setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.).
A 25 foot wide landscape buffer exists along E. Pine Avenue, an arterial street, as required by UDC
Table I1-2B-3.
• Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective A, Action 2 (page 112) -Encourage industrial development to locate
adjacent to existing industrial uses.
Staff is of the opinion an industrial use would be more appropriate and compatible with existing abutting
industrial uses than the proposed daycare center because of the very different functional nature of
industrial uses as stated above.
Note: A text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is currently in process and is scheduled to be heard by
City Council on September 28`". The amendment incorporates changes to the definitions of the mixed use
designations in the Plan including the MU-C designation. Staff has reviewed the proposed changes and
determined they do not substantially alter the Plan's applicability to this project.
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
A. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the commercial districts is to provide for the retail and
service needs of the community in accordance with the Meridian comprehensive plan. Six (6) 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 in proximity to streets and
PAGE 4
highways.
B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 11-2B-2 lists the permitted, accessory,
conditional, and prohibited uses in the C-N zoning district. The proposed daycare center is listed as a
conditional use in the proposed C-N zoning district and is subject to the specific use standards listed in
UDC 11-4-3-9 for daycare facilities.
C. Dimensional Standards: The dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2B-3 for the C-N zoning
district apply to this site.
D. Landscaping Standards (UDC 11-3B):
1. Width of street buffer(s): 25 feet along E. Pine Avenue, an arterial street
2. Width of buffer(s) between land uses: NA
3. Percentage of site as open space: NA
4. Tree Preservation: NA
E. Off-Street Parking: UDC 11-3C-6B requires one off-street vehicle parking space for every 500 square
feet of gross floor area in commercial districts for non-residential uses. The total square footage of the
building is 2,187. Based on this amount, a total of 4 parking stalls are required. A total of 8 parking stalls
are provided on the site. There are additional parking stalls on the overall site proposed to be platted
that may be available for use by the proposed daycare through a cross parking agreement.
UDC 11-3C-6G requires one bicycle parking space be provided for every 25 proposed vehicle parking
spaces or portion thereof. Based on 8 parking stalls, a minimum of 1 bicycle parking space is required
for the proposed daycare in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-SC.
IX. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
REZONE: The applicant proposes to rezone 0.42 of an acre of this 0.83 of an acre site from I-L (Light
Industrial) to C-N (Neighborhood Business); the remainder of the site is proposed to remain I-L. The
purpose of the rezone is so that a daycare center can operate in the building previously approved as an
accessory office to the adjacent industrial building. Daycare centers are prohibited in the I-L district and
warehouse/industrial uses are prohibited in the C-N district. For this reason, the applicant proposes to
subdivide the property so that each structure is located on its own lot and each lot is zoned appropriately
for the current and proposed use of the property.
As discussed above, the Comprehensive Plan future land use map designation for this site is MU-C
which is consistent with the requested C-N zoning district. However, because this site is surrounded by
industrial zoning and uses staff is of the opinion that rezoning a small area for the purpose of a daycare
would not be a compatible with existing uses, zoning, or the character of this area. Further, rezoning this
small area surrounded by industrial zoned land would be "spot zoning" which is not consistent with the
objectives of the comprehensive plan.
Staff is of the opinion rezoning a small portion of land for the purpose of accommodating a particular
use that is not compatible with adjacent uses is not a good practice and not in the best interest of the city
as it is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, staff is recommending denial of the
proposed rezone application.
If Council determines it is in the best interest of the City to rezone this property, staff is of the opinion
the C-C district would be more appropriate than the C-N district because the higher intense nature of the
C-C district would provide more of a transition in zoning to the adjacent I-L zoned.
PAGE 5
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT: The request is for conditional use permit approval of a 2,187 square foot
daycare center for up to 60 children in a proposed C-N zoning district, as required by UDC Table 11-2B-
2. The daycare proposes to care for up to 36 children 0-5 years old and up to 18 children over the age of
5 per day.
The applicant has submitted a concept plan and floor plan showing how the site is proposed to re-
develop as a daycare. The existing structure and site is not proposed to be altered except for the addition
of a fenced area on the west side of the building for an outdoor play area.
Specific Use Standards: There are specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-9 that apply to daycare
facilities that the applicant shall comply with if Council approves the subject CUP.
Outdoor Play Area: The applicant is proposing an outdoor play area on the west side of the building as
shown on the site plan. This area is proposed to be fenced by a 6-foot tall security fence. Staff has visited
the site and a large portion of the outdoor play area significantly slopes to the west property boundary as
the topography of this site is higher than the adjacent property. This is the only area on site that is
available for an outdoor play area.
The Department of Health and Welfare (DHW) used to have standards for outdoor play areas but have
since revised their policies and no longer do. The UDC does not have standards because the DHW
previously oversaw this area. Because this application is a CUP, staff has the authority to require
additional items as deemed necessary.
Staff is of the opinion additional play area is necessary for the number of children (60) proposed to be
cared for in the 2,187 square foot facility. Because play area at this site is limited in area due to the size
of the existing building and slope of the proposed outdoor play area, staff is of the opinion this site is not
large enough for the proposed daycare center.
Access: One driveway access is proposed via E. Pine Avenue to serve both the proposed daycare and the
industrial building. There are no other cross-access easements or stub streets/driveways provided to this
property. (There is a recorded reservation of access easement consisting of a 20 foot wide non-exclusive
ingress/egress access easement for the benefit of the Ada County property to the west of the site that
shall only become effective when and if Ada County grants or reserves for the benefit of the Capital Hill
property the same easement.)
Landscaping: A 25-foot wide landscape street buffer, measured from the back of curb, is required to be
provided along E. Pine Avenue per UDC Table 11-2B-3 in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-
3B-7C. There are no residences that abut this site so a buffer to adjoining uses is not required. Parking
lot landscaping is required in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-8C. Staff has reviewed the
proposed landscape plan and has determined it complies with current UDC landscape requirements.
Fencing: The site plan depicts 6-foot tall security fencing around the play area and a 3-foot tall wrought
iron fence along the front of the property. In accord with UDC 11-4-3-9B.1, all outdoor play areas are
required to be completely enclosed by minimum 6-foot tall non-scalable fencing to secure against
exit/entry by small children and to screen abutting properties. The fencing material shall meet the
swimming pool fence requirements of the building code in accord with Title 10 of Meridian City Code.
If Council approves the CUP, fencing details for the play area shall be submitted with the CZC
application.
Hours of Operation: The proposed operating hours of the daycare center are from 6 am to 11 pm.
However, UDC 11-2B-3A.4 restricts business hours of operation in the C-N district to 6 am to 10 pm. If
the proposed use is approved, the hours of operation shall be restricted accordingly. If Council approves
the proposed RZ with a C-C district and the CUP for the proposed daycare, UDC I1-4-3-9A. S allows
business hours of operation between 6 am and 11 pm for daycare facilities.
Note: If Council approves the RZ with a C-C district, a CUP is still required for a daycare center.
PAGE 6
PRELIMINARY/FINAL PLAT: The proposed preliminary/final plat consists of 2 building lots on 0.96 of
an acre. The plat will subdivide one parcel into two parcels on which each of the existing structures will
be located.
Dimensional Standards: Each of the proposed lots meet the dimensional standards for the existing and
proposed/recommended zoning district and the existing structures also meet setbacks for the district in
which they're located or proposed/recommended to be located.
Cross-Access/Cross-Parking: There is a 20-foot wide cross-access easement depicted on the face of the
plat from Pine Avenue to the west property boundary. Staff recommends a note be added to the face of
the plat allowing for cross-access/cross-parking between the two proposed lots.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed PFP application with the conditions listed in Exhibit B of
the staff report.

D. Required Findings from Unified Development Code
1. Rezone Findings:
Upon recommendation from the Commission, the Council shall make a full investigation
and shall, at the public hearing, review the application. In order to grant an annexation
and/or rezone, the Council shall make the following findings:
a. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive
Plan;
The Applicant is proposing to rezone a portion of the subject property from I-L to C-N. Staff
finds that the proposed map amendment is consistent with the MU-C future land use
designation for this site; however, because of the surrounding industrial uses and character of
this area, Staff finds the proposed amendment would create a spot zone of C-N in the middle
of an industrially zoned area. Therefore, Staff finds the amendment does not comply with the
applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan.
b. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district,
specifically the purpose statement;
Staff finds that the proposed map amendment to the C-N district and daycare use of this
property is consistent with the purpose statement of the commercial district in that it provides
for the service needs of the community.
c. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
and welfare;
Staff finds that the proposed zoning amendment in itself will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare; however, staff finds the proposed use may be detrimental to public
safety due to the volume of traffic on the site generated from the proposed use and the mix of
small children frequenting the daycare & large trucks making deliveries to the adjacent
industrial businesses. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on any oral or
written testimony that maybe provided when determining this finding.
d. The map amendment shall not result in an adverse impact upon the delivery of services
by any political subdivision providing public services within the City including, but not
limited to, school districts; and,
Staff finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not result in any adverse impact upon
the delivery of services by any political subdivision providing services to this site.
e. The annexation is in the best of interest of the City (UDC 11-SB-3.E).
This finding is not applicable as the applicant is requesting approval of a rezone, not
annexation. However, as noted previously, staff does not find that the proposed rezone is in
the best interest of the City.
2. Conditional Use Permit (UDC 11-SB-6E)
The Commission shall base its determination on the Conditional Use Permit request upon
the following:
a. 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.
PAGE 20
Staff finds that the subject property meets all the dimensional and development regulations of
the C-N district; however, staff finds that it is not large enough to accommodate the proposed
daycare and the existing industrial uses on the property due to potential access & circulation
conflicts on the site. Additionally, staff finds the site is not large enough to provide adequate
play area, inside or outside, for the children (see Analysis Section IX for more information).
b. That the proposed use will be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and
in accord with the requirements of this Title.
Staff finds that the proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan future land use
map designation of MU-C. However, Staff finds the proposed daycare center is not
harmonious with abutting industrial uses. Per the Comprehensive Plan, industrial
development is encouraged to locate adjacent to existing industrial uses.
c. 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.
Staff finds that although the proposed daycare will not adversely change the character of the
area, the use is not compatible with the existing industrial character of the area.
d. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will
not adversely affect other property in the vicinity.
Staff fmds the traffic generated by the proposed daycare will adversely affect the existing
industrial businesses on the site by causing congestion in the parking lot & circulation
problems when trucks are backed up to the overhead doors loading/unloading. Because Staff
finds the proposed use is not appropriate in this area or compatible with adjacent industrial
uses, staff is recommending denial of the CUP request and therefore, is not including
conditions of approval.
The Commission should rely upon any public testimony provided to determine if the
development will adversely affect other property in the vicinity.
e. 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 sanitary sewer, domestic water, refuse disposal, and irrigation currently
service the subject property. Please refer to any comments prepared by the Meridian Fire
Department, Police Department, Parks Department, Sanitary Services Corporation and
ACHD. Based on comments from other agencies and departments, Staff finds that the
proposed use would be served adequately by all of the public facilities and services listed
above.
f. 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.
Staff 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.
Exhibit C
g. 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.
Staff finds there will most likely be a significant amount of traffic generated by the proposed
use that will contribute to the existing traffic from the industrial businesses on the site that
maybe detrimental to the general welfare of the public. Staff does not anticipate the proposed
use will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors.
h. 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.
Staff finds that the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of any
natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance.
3. Preliminary Plat Findings:
In consideration of a preliminary plat, combined preliminary and final plat, or short plat,
the decision-making body shall make the following findings:
a. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;
Staff finds that the proposed plat is in substantial compliance with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan. Please see Comprehensive Plan Policies and Goals, Section 7, of the
Staff Report for more information.
b. Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to
accommodate the proposed development;
Staff finds that public services are currently provided to the subject property. (See Exhibit B
of the Staff Report for more details from public service providers.)
c. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the
City's capital improvement program;
Because the property is currently serviced by City water and sewer and any other utilities will
be provided by the development at their own cost, Staff finds that the subdivision will not
require the expenditure of capital improvement funds.
d. There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments from the public service
providers (i.e., Police, Fire, ACRD, etc.) to determine this finding. (See Exhibit B for more
detail.)
e. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare;
and
Staff is not aware of any health, safety, or environmental problems associated with the
development of this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's
attention. ACRD considers road safety issues in their analysis. Staff recommends that the
Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to determine
whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or environmental problems
of which Staff is unaware.
