8. The applicant and/or assigns shall have the continuing obligation to meet the specific use
standards for the proposed use as set forth in UDC 11-4-3.
ANALYSIS OF UDC REQUIItEMENTS RELATED TO SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS:
The UDC (11-3B-12C) requires a minimum 5-foot wide landscape strip to be provided along each side of
pathways planted with a mix of trees, shrubs, lawn, and/or other vegetative ground cover. A minimum of
one tree per 1001inear feet of pathway is required.
There is a 20-foot wide easement for the Kennedy Lateral that runs along the east boundary of this site
where the pathway is proposed. Because Nampa Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) does not allow trees
to be planted within their easement, the applicant is requesting approval of alternative compliance to
allow landscaping along the pathway without trees. The applicant proposes a 20-foot wide landscape
buffer along the east property boundary planted with lawn and planter beds with a mixture of shrubs and
other medium to low groundcover as allowed by the irrigation district.
Because the landscape area between the pathway & the curb is owned by the adjacent property owner
(Lowe's), the City is unable to require the applicant to plant trees in this area. Because NMID's easement
encompasses the entire 20-foot wide area on the west side of the pathway it's not feasible for trees to be
planted in that area either. For these reasons and because the applicant is providing a larger than required
buffer, the Director approves the applicant's request for alternative compliance. The applicant shall install
a mix of shrubs, lawn, and other vegetative groundcover as shown on the landscape plan.
CITY COUNCIL REVIEW
The applicant, Director, or a party of record may appeal this decision or a condition of approval by
requesting City Council review of this decision. All requests shall be filed in writing with the Planning
Department within fifteen (15) days of the date of this report and comply with the provisions of UDC 11-
SA-6B.
EXPIl2ATION
Certificates of Zoning Compliance issued in conjunction with a proposed use shall expire if said use has
not commenced within one year of the date of issuance of the Certificate of Zoning Compliance.
Certificates of Zoning Compliance issued in conjunction with construction or alteration of a structure
shall expire if said construction or alteration has not commenced within one year of the date of issuance
of the Certificate of Zoning Compliance.
In accord with the above provisions, the subject Certificate of Zoning Compliance is valid until
October 19, 2011.

Re: ICON CREDIT UNION - 485 W. OVERLAND ROAD
LCA N0.10018.01 4-d
Dear Sir or Madam,
This narrative is in regards to the attached Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC) application for a new ICON Credit
Union branch to be constructed at 485 West Overland Road, located within the Queenland Acres business
subdivision.
General Project Summary:
The proposed project includes the construction of a new credit union at 485 West Overland Road, located near the
intersection of Meridian and Overland Roads. The paroel is 1 acre in size. The credit union and associated drive
through are approved uses under the current zoning ordinance, and were also specifically noted as allowed in the
City's review and approval of the Queenland Acres subdivision. Therefore, the CZC is the only review required by the
City prior to permitting per the ordinances. Please refer to the complete CZC application, attached, for additional
supporting information.
Current Development Agreement Requirement:
The proposed project complies with requirements of the approved Queenland Acres subdivision, and has been
reviewed and approved by the developer. As shown on the site plan, a limited area of paving will be required outside
of ICON's property line to accommodate site access until the remainder of the subdivision is developed. This work is
being coordinated with the developer and will be completed concurrently with the proposed credit union.
Proposed Site:
The proposed ICON site complies with all indicated setbacks and easements, including the landscaping setback 25
feet back from edge of sidewalk along Overland Road, the electrical easement to the north, and the 20 foot Kennedy
Lateral easement to the east. We have confirmed with the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District that no trees are
allowed within their easement. We have chosen not to install any parking improvements within this area to limit the
disruption that would be caused in the event of future lateral maintenance. A new 8 foot wide sidewalk is also shown
to the outside of the east property line, which is understood to be a requirement of the subdivision approval. Site
circulation has been arranged to eliminate as many locations where pedestrians must cross vehicular paths
as possible. The drive through has been placed to the west to present the building entry toward the nearby 1221 Shoreline Ln
intersection and provide adequate approach lanes to the drive through. Handicap parking is placed near the Boise, ID 83702
entry with a full width unloading area and direct path to entry. Staff parking is anticipated to be to the south 208.345.6677

near the staff entrance off of the break room. Fire department access is indicated, and the trash enclosure located so
that it is set back from Overland as much as possible, while being accessible to not only ICON at the time of project
completion, but also potentially future development on adjacent parcels.
Proposed Building:
The proposed building is a roughly 5,100 square foot credit union, with 4 teller stations, five offices, and three drive
through lanes. The facility will open with three active drive through lanes, but no ATM. Rough-in is being installed for
a future ATM, however. Restrooms and drinking fountains are accessible to the public via the large south conference
room. The conference room, break room, and restrooms may be secured from the rest of the building after hours for
community meetings or small events. Occupancy within this space will be limited to no more than 49 occupants.
The building will be a slab on grade, wood framed structure, with wood shear wall and roof joist construction. Exterior
finishes include brick veneer, stucco, aluminum storefront framing with low-e glazing, and specialty plastic glazing
and/or metal panels. Standing seam metal roofing will be installed along the central spine, with mechanically
attached membrane roofing at flat roof and shallow pitch roof elements to either side. (The top surfaces of the
shallow pitched roof elements are not visible from eye level.)
Conclusion
Overall, the design team and ICON Credit Union feel the proposed facility is in keeping with the goals and
requirements of the development agreement and City ordinances, and that the project as proposed will complement
the existing commercial development within the vicinity, paving the way for completion of the Queenland Acres
subdivision development.
Your consideration of this application is appreciated.
Sincerely,
LCA ARCHITECTS, P.A.

Re: ICON CREDIT UNION - 485 W. OVERLAND ROAD
LCA N0.10018.01 4-d
Dear Ms. Wafters and Planning Staff:
This narrative is in regards to the attached Design Review (DR) application for a new ICON Credit Union branch to
be constructed at 485 West Overland Road, located within the Queenland Acres business subdivision.
The design for the new ICON Credit Union in Meridian takes its inspiration from ICON's recent re-branding and ne~N
logo, and their stated goals for the project to be a'launching' of their new image. Formerly Idahy Credit Union, ICOIJ
carefully considered the image they wish to present to existing and potential new members, resulting in their ne~v
name and associated logo. (The ICON logo can be seen on the attached colored Sketchup images of the proposed
facility.) The building form relates to the 'action' lines and angles in the new ICON logo, with a strong central spin
that also relates to the negative space in the logo's void. The primary entrance faces east, toward the entrance to the
business subdivision off of Overland road. This not only helps the building address traffic along Overland, but alsa
presents a welcome facade to those exiting the subdivision. Building articulation and building signage along the north
elevation, as well as a large window off of the interior lobby space, provide an appropriate street presence directly
along Overland. The taller central spine emphasizes and identifies the building entry location. Low flat-roof areas
between the central spine and side elements of the building help to accentuate the sloped roof forms to either sidE~,
which recall the angled lines of ICON's logo, and give the building a more dynamic appearance. The varied roof lines
create visual interest while emphasizing the overall design concept. The visible roof and fascia material will b'
prefinished metallic metal, complementary to the window frames.
The primary materials of brick veneer, stucco, and glazing are used consistently throughout the structure. The brick
veneer accents reinforce the vertical organizing module of the structure, and break up the fields of brick. Articulatioi
of the window mullions emphasizes the 2'-0" horizontal module used in organization of the elevations, with vertic~d
glazing units and window divisions recalling the vertical center of ICON's logo and the overall structure iiset~.
References to these vertical elements carry through in the reveal fine placement in the stucco finish. Clerestory
windows at the entry lobby will provide desirable natural light within the primary building spaces, and help articulate:
the upper gable massing. Window frames are clear anodized aluminum, with blue tinted low-e insulated glazing unit`.
Horizontal aluminum sunshade fins provide both functional shading to help reduce cooling loads, as well as
providing visual interest and a textural background for the mounting of the building signage. Building 1221 Shoreline Ln
signage is an integral part of the exterior design, with the use of logo and name signage to not only identify
the building but also break up blank facades and provide visual interest on each elevation and approach.
Logo colors provide a splash of color to contrast with the natural tones of the brick and stucco and are B~;;e, ID 83702

incorporated as further brand identity in the plastic glazing located along the tops of windows and at either end of thr:
building gables. Backlighting within select panels will provide a unique night presence to the building, accentuatincl
the horizontal green band around the building and highlighting the entry element.
Mechanical equipment is welt screened by a 4'-0" high brick veneer wall surrounding HVAC units and the gas meter.
The screen wall is articulated in the same fashion as the rest of the building for a unified appearance. The singlE:
rooftop unit is placed in the most screened roof location, where it will be visible only from a distance, and only when
viewed from the least used approach.
Careful consideration was given to the building location and site layout, in an effort to balance visibility, functionality,
access, and aesthetics while placing primary importance on safety. The building has been placed as far north as;
feasible on the site while maintaining drive through access across the north with suitable stacking depth. Single sided
parking has been provided to eliminate the crossing of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Parking to the east of thEr
building, directly before the building entry, is primarily for member use. Parking to the south is primarily for facilirr
staff, with the staff entrance off of the break room adjacent to these spaces. A landscape buffer is located to the
south to help keep traffic parking at the ICON facility segregated from those vehicles passing through the business;
subdivision along the shared drive to the south. Access to this shared drive occurs at both the east and west sides of
the parcel, so that traffic parking at the facility need not mingle with drive through traffic upon egress. (The location of
the shared drive was already established as part of the prior approval of the business subdivision.) The trash
enclosure is located in the southwest comer of the site, where its use has the potential to be shared with futurE:
neighbors in the subdivision, improving the overall aesthetics of the development. Pedestrian circulation is located
near the building, and is well isolated from vehicular circulation patterns for safety. Additionally, the sidewalk extend:;
across the drive aisle to the north to connect to the sidewalk system along Overland Road. Bike racks are provided
for members who arrive via bicycle. Though dedicated and explicit mass transit facilities are not provided as part of
this site's development, the ready connections to the rest of the subdivision circulation and Overland Road sidewalk
should make any such facilities incorporated into the future development of the subdivision quite accessible.
Overall, we share the clients enthusiastic satisfaction with the results of our design efforts, and feel the product a:;
presented will exist in good harmony with Meridian's design guidelines for the Urban/Suburban district in which it i:;
placed, and therefore with its existing neighbors and future neighbors within the development.
Your consideration of this application is appreciated. Please feel free to contact LCA with any requests for
clarification or additional information you may have.
Sincerely,
LCA ARCHITECTS, .A.

Re: ICON CREDIT UNION - 485 W. OVERLAND ROAD
LCA N0.10018.01 4-d
Dear Ms. Waters and Planning Staff:
This narrative is in regards to the attached Alternative Compliance application for the new ICON Credit
Union branch to be constructed at 485 West Overland Road, located within the Queenland Acres business
subdivision.
Alternative compliance is being requested to allow landscaping which differs from that required per
Meridian UDC 11-36-12C. Specifically, the request is to allow pathway landscaping along the required
pathway on the east side of ICON's lot without the trees required in the UDC. The referenced Pathway
Landscaping section of the UDC requires a mixture of trees, shrubs, lawn, and/or other vegetative ground
cover. A minimum of one tree per one hundred linear feet of pathway is called for. The landscaping design
for the ICON credit Union (attached) contains a mixture as required, however the entire landscaping zone
on the east side of the parcel coincides with the Kennedy Lateral easement. (The Kennedy lateral is
maintained by the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District.) The easement does not allow the planting of trees,
and as the Irrigation District was established prior to the City, their requirements take precedence.
The proposed landscape design proposes maintaining the eight-foot-wide landscaping bed along the east,
which belongs to Lowe's and is outside of ICON's property and influence. ICON's improvements begin with
the required pathway, which is shown as eight feet wide per the amended development agreement, located
directly against the east property line until it eases west to pass around the irrigation box that exists above
grade. Planter beds with a mixture of shrubs and other medium to low groundcover as allowed by the
irrigation easement are spaced along the west portion of the landscape area, breaking up the grassed area
and providing relief, interest, and a buffer for the monument sign in the northeast corner of the site. The
area surrounding the irrigation box becomes a planter bed as well, which will tie in to the existing
Lowe's planter and eliminate what would otherwise be a very small area of grass to maintain. 1221 Shoreline Ln

We feel that the proposed landscape design meets the intent of-the UDC to the greatest extent possible
under the limiting circumstances of the existing lateral easement. The proposed planter beds are generous,
and will provide an interesting and varied appearance. Though there is no possibility of planting trees along
the path due to the extent and limitations of the lateral easement, shrubs and tall ornamental grasses are
used to provide as much relief as is feasible.
Your consideration of this application is appreciated. Please feel free to contact LCA with any requests for
clarification or additional information you may have.
