VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/ANALYSIS
CITY OF MERIDIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS:
EXISTING FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION:
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) contained in the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan
(TMISAP) currently designates 30.45+/- acres of the subject properly "Lifestyle Center" (LC); 8.5+/-
acres as "Medium High Density Residential" (MHDR); and 39.75 acres as "High Density
Employment" (HDE). See Exhibit A. 7.
The LC designation is a specific form of mixed use commercial. The purpose of the LC is to
encourage a diversity of compatible land uses in a unified development that includes a mix of retail,
professional services, offices, entertainment uses, civic services, housing and public outdoor spaces.
The design and arrangement of buildings should be oriented to pedestrians. Streetscape improvements
should be provided that create rich and enjoyable public spaces.
Areas designated MHDR are recommended primarily or relatively dense multi-family housing types,
such as row houses, townhouses, condominiums and apartment buildings and complexes. MHDR
areas should include a mix of housing types that achieve an overall average density of 12 dwelling
units per gross acre. Generally, densities should range from 8-15units per acre.
HDE areas are recommended as predominantly office, research and specialized employment areas;
and generally do not include retail and consumer service uses serving the wider community. Limited
retail and service establishments primarily serving employees and users of the High Density
Employment areas are encouraged.
PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION:
The applicant proposes to change the FLUM designation on all of the subject property from LC,
MHDR, and HDE to Commercial. The Commercial designation provides for a full range of
commercial and retail to serve area residents and visitors. Uses may include retail, wholesale, service
and office uses, multi-family residential, as well as appropriate public uses such as government
offices. See A. 7.
The applicant's narrative states that a range of uses from office and professional, to hospitality, to
large and small retailers, may develop on the site. A market analysis of the area by the applicant
deemed that another lifestyle center (in addition to the Meridian Town Center development) is not
feasible within such close proximity. Therefore, a commercial designation is proposed. Even though
the site is not planned to develop in accord with the mixed use standards of the TMISAP, the
applicant states future development will be subject to the design goals of the TMISAP through a
development agreement.
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 available to the property.
- The lands are capable of being serviced by the Meridian Fire Department (MFD).
- The lands are capable of being serviced by the Meridian Police Department (MPD).
TM Crossing CPAM-12-001; AZ-12-005; PP-12-003 PAGE 4
EXHIBIT A
- 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 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.
• "Provide landscaping, pedestrian friendly areas, and appropriate signage at gateways, and new
development sites throughout town as appropriate, with upscale attractive construction."
With development o f the site, the applicant is required to provide landscaped street buffers in
accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-2B-3 and 11-3B-7C along Ten Mile Road and I-84,
entryway corridors into the City. A Welcome to Meridian sign is also planned for this site. To
ensure quality design, all future structures are required to comply with the design standards
listed in UDC 11-3A-19 and the design guidelines in the Meridian Design Manual.
• "Require screening and landscape buffers on all development requests that are more intense than
adjacent residential properties."
There are (7) existing rural residential properties in Primrose Subdivision that border the eastern
boundary of this site. These properties are currently within Ada County and are designated on
the FLUMas Low Density Residential. The UDC (Table 11-2B-3) requires C-G zoned properties
to provide a 25 foot wide landscape buffer to residential uses landscaped in accord with the
standards listed in UDC 11-3B-9C.
• "Require landscape street buffers for new development along all entryway corridors."
Upon development of the property, a 35 foot wide landscape buffer will be required along S. Ten
Mile Road, an entryway corridor; and a 50 foot wide landscape buffer will be required along I-
84, landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C Landscape Buffers along
Streets.
• "Require all commercial and industrial businesses to install and maintain landscaping."
With development of the property, all businesses will be required to install landscaping within
parking lots in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-8C Parking Lot Landscaping.
Street buffer landscaping is also required per UDC Table I1-2B-3 in accord with the standards
listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. If development is adjacent to a residential use, a landscape buffer will
be required per UDC Table 11-2B-3 in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-9C
Landscape Buffers to Adjoining Uses.
• "Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of
final approval and development is contiguous to the City."
The subject property is contiguous to the City and urban services can be provided at the time of
development.
TRANSPORTATION:
The transportation system map contained in the TMISAP depicts a collector street from S. Ten Mile
Road on the property to the north (Parcel #S 1214234020 & S 1214233665) which runs south through
TM Crossing CPAM-12-001; AZ-12-005; PP-12-003 PAGE 5
EXHIBIT A
the site and back to the west under the Ten Mile ramp. Around-a-bout is planned at the property line
shared with the property to the north along with a collector street running along the north boundary of
the site to the east, curving north at the %i mile to W. Franklin Road. A potential slip ramp is also
shown on this site from I-84 to the southern leg of the collector street. See map in Exhibit A.6.
The proposed concept plan depicts an off-site collector street access via S. Ten Mile Road that runs
south through the site and back to the west under the Ten Mile ramp as anticipated on the
transportation system map. At the intersection where the collector street goes to the west, it also goes
to the east along the southern portion of the site and then curves to the north at the % mile providing a
stub street to the property to the north for eventual extension to Franklin Road.
Neither around-a-bout nor a collector street is proposed along the north boundary of the site as
depicted on the transportation system map. A driveway is shown along the north boundary of the site
for access to the back of the buildings. A slip ramp is also not proposed as it was determined by the
applicant, staff and ITD not to be feasible.
The TMISAP includes several collector street types (sections) for specific uses and conditions based
on projected vehicular and pedestrian usage, desired parking conditions, specific physical conditions,
public emergency access, and streetscape character. Streets within the Ten Mile area should be
designed and sized to optimize pedestrian comfort and to facilitate slow-moving traffic. Staff has
compared the street sections proposed with the plat to those contained in the plan and determines the
following:
• The collector street (W. Crossbridge Drive) proposed along the south boundary of the site to the
west under the Ten Mile ramp is consistent with street section "C" depicted in the plan.
• The proposed collector street (W. Smithfield Dr.) that provides access into the site is not
consistent with street section "C" as it is a 4-lane street with a median turn lane instead of 2-lane
as depicted in the plan. The only 4-lane street sections with median turn lanes in the plan serve as
arterial streets. They are designed to provide rapid and relatively unimpeded traj~c movement
throughout the area and carry high volumes of traj~c to mixed use and employment centers.
• The southern & eastern collector streets (W. Goodland St. & S. New Market Ave.) were not
contemplated in the plan; however, typical street sections for collector streets depict a 2-lane
street -the proposed plat depicts a 4-lane street with a median turn lane.
• The proposed street widths are consistent with the plan.
Although the proposed street sections are not entirely consistent with the plan, staff is of the
opinion they are appropriate given the nature of the development proposed. However, it should be
noted that the proposed design will not promote a pedestrian friendly environment as intended for
this area as traffic will be more rapid with the proposed design.
In summary, the applicant's proposed transportation plan is not entirely consistent with the TMISAP
as noted above. For consistency, staff recommends either a 3-legged round-a-bout be constructed at
the north boundary of the site where the first intersection is proposed that provides access to the
property to the north (51214233665); or, % of a collector street be constructed along the north
boundary of the site (the other % to be constructed in the future by the property owner/developer to
the north).
DESIGN:
The location, scale, form, height, and design quality of public and private buildings and spaces are
integral to the development of the Ten Mile area. The design elements included in Chapter 3 of the
TMISAP are intended to serve as the basic framework for projects within this area.
TM Crossing CPAM-12-001; AZ-12-005; PP-12-003 PAGE 6
EXHIBIT A
Although the applicant does not propose to develop the site consistent with the LC and HDE
designations so far as uses, the applicant does propose, at staff's recommendation, to develop the site
consistent with the design standards of the TMISAP.
The matrix on page 3-49 lists the following design elements (& associated page numbers) as
applicable to LC & HDE designated areas: architecture & heritage (3-32); commercial & mixed use
buildings (Street-Oriented Design 3-33); buildings to scale (3-34); commercial activity centers;
building facades, building heights - 1St floor ceiling heights for retail, up to 6 stories; base, body, and
top; commercial retail frontage; live/work unit frontage, urban residential frontage in Commercial
Districts -Frontage; flat, pitched -roofs (Building Form & Character 3-37); materials; screening of
mechanical units & service areas; awnings; canopies (Building Details 3-41); signs (3-46); and public
art (3-47).
The following are some important design elements noted in the Plan:
• Buildings at or close to the property line facing the street -main entrances/facades should be
oriented to the street;
• Buildings should relate effectively to the fronting streets by aligning and being as continuous
as possible;
• Buildings at street corners should "hold the corners";
• The space between a building facade and the adjacent sidewalk should be landscaped with a
combination of lawn, groundcover, shrubs, and trees;
• Restaurants are encouraged to have outdoor dining; shops & stores are encouraged to open
their doors & street front windows & use clear glass that allows .visual access inwards &
outwards;
• Human-scale design by building entrances placed close to the street, ground floor windows,
articulated facades, appropriately scaled signs and lighting, and awnings and other weather
protection;
• Provide elements that become focal points and announce special places in the Ten Mile area
(gateway & entryway corridor signs, continuous walkways, attractive streetscape design,
avoid parking in front of buildings, landscaping, etc.);
• Architectural character should establish a clear sense of identity for each activity center
through an overall palette for each commercial center while maintaining a degree of
individuality for each building. The palette should address and coordinate key elements such
as materials (walls, roofs, key architectural elements), and colors, etc.;
• Low-rise buildings of 2-4 stories over much of the area is recommended with opportunities
for taller buildings in a few locations;
• For streets & block fronts where commercial uses and pedestrian activity are most desired, it
is recommended that sidewalks be lined with shops, restaurants, and galleries and that
buildings be designed with multiple sidewalk entries, generously-scaled display and transom
windows, pedestrian-scaled signs and banners, and awnings or canopies for sun shading;
• Signs should be designed to contribute to the overall character, identity and way finding
system. Signs should be compatible with the architecture of the buildings and businesses they
identify in colors, materials, sizes, shapes, and lighting.
• Public art that contributes to the character and identity of the City should be incorporated into
the development in the design of streetscapes, plazas, public spaces associated with buildings,
TM Crossing CPAM-12-001; AZ-12-005; PP-12-003 PAGE 7
EXHIBIT A
etc. Art should be easily visible to the public (e.g. on the exterior of buildings rather than in
lobbies, or visible from the street or publicly accessible open spaces rather than interior
courtyards).
The concept plan submitted by the applicant is not entirely consistent with the TMISAP. Staff is
recommending provisions in the development agreement for future development of the site to comply
with the design elements contained in the TMISAP.
STATE REQUIRED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
Idaho's counties and cities are required by law, Idaho Code 67-6508, to prepare, implement, review,
and update a comprehensive plan which outlines goals and policies for land use. Fourteen elements
which must be addressed in the plan are listed in the Code. It is the detailed ordinances that then spell
out how these policies are to be achieved.
The order in which the following policies are presented implies no order or priority.
a. Community Design
The purpose of this element is to ensure a pattern of planned growth resulting in orderly and
attractive developments within the City of Meridian. The proposed plan for this property is for
commercial uses; the applicant is proposing to develop the site with a range of uses from office
and professional, to hospitality, to large & small retailers, consistent with the proposed
Commercial designation. To promote quality design that is consistent with the TMISAP for this
area, future development will be required to comply with the City's design standards contained in
the UDC, Meridian Design Manual, and TMISAP.
b. Population
The City of Meridian must ensure that population growth is accommodated in an orderly pattern.
Residential and commercial developments must be easily served by City infrastructure and public
services. Necessary services are currently available to the subject site and will still be available
upon development of the site.
c. Housing
The City of Meridian is charged with ensuring an adequate and attractive living environment
which meets the needs of City residents of different ages, family sizes, lifestyles, and income
levels. To accomplish this, the plan identifies areas appropriate for residential development and
areas not appropriate. No residential uses are proposed with this application.
d. Economic Development
Meridian's economic base has been gradually shifting over the last 20 years from afarming-based
economy to a retail, service, and manufacturing-based economy. During this time, local policy
with regard to the types of lands needed to support the economic and employment needs of the
community has also changed. The Comprehensive Plan forecasts the need to continually adjust
the provision of commercial lands in order to gradually broaden economic opportunity throughout
the City.
The subject property is currently identified as appropriate for a lifestyle center, medium high
density residential, and high density employment uses. Although a mix of uses is not proposed,
commercial development of this site will provide employment opportunities in this area as well
allow for businesses serving area residents.
e. Public Services, Facilities, and Utilities
TM Crossing CPAM-12-001; AZ-12-005; PP-12-003 PAGE 8
EXHIBIT A
City water and sewer service has been provided to the subject property and reclaimed water is
available to the site as well. Because this property is already within the City limits, public
services such as police and fire protection are currently provided to this property.
f. School Facilities and Student Transportation
The purpose of this element is to direct new residential development to areas with adequate
school facilities and student transportation. Because no residential uses are proposed, this element
is not applicable to this application.
g. Transportation
The purpose of this element is to promote an efficient and safe transportation system within the
City. Because the existing plan is for a lifestyle center, medium high density residential, and high
density employment uses, Staff does not believe that the proposed plan amendment would
negatively impact transportation within the City of Meridian in this area if approved.
h. Natural Resources
The purpose of this element is to promote conservation of areas of natural significance, where
appropriate. Staff is not aware of any natural resources that exist on this site that would be
impacted by the proposed development.
i. Special Areas
The subject amendment does not directly impact any lands designated for open space, natural
resources, or scenic areas, nor does the parcel contain any known significant or sensitive natural
resources.
j. Hazardous Areas
The purpose of this element is to ensure regulation of development in hazardous areas, such as
floodplains, unstable slopes, etc. Staff is unaware of any hazardous areas on this site.
k. Recreation
Recreation resources within Meridian include 18 City parks totaling approximately 242 acres.
The City is in the process of developing new park facilities. The City also maintains several
pathways. This site is not formally designated for recreational purposes.
1. Land Use
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map is a graphic representation of applicable policies
and goals of Meridian's Comprehensive Plan. The Map has been prepared to identify suitable
areas for future residential, commercial, and industrial development. The Map is designed to be a
projection of growth patterns for the City. Therefore, the Map is to be used as a guide for
decisions regarding request for land use changes.
Staff is of the opinion the proposed commercial use of the site is consistent with the proposed
future land use designation of Commercial.
m. Implementation
The City provides the necessary staff and facilities to administer and enforce the policies and
goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The City of Meridian Planning Department will administer the
Comprehensive Plan and its policies through the Unified Development Code. The Planning &
Zoning Commission is also authorized by the Council to review, approve and make
recommendations on proposals affecting the public's interest in land use. The City Council is the
ultimate decision making authority on most land use applications.

n. Property Rights
The purpose of this element is to ensure that the land use policies, restrictions, conditions, and
fees do not unconstitutionally violate private property rights, and establish a consistent review
process that enable the City to ensure that any proposed actions will not result in an
unconstitutional taking of private property without due process of law. Staff believes that the
requested Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map change would not unconstitutionally violate
private property rights. A neighborhood meeting was held on May 6, 2012 of which ten people
attended.
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 highways.
B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) 11-2B-21ists the permitted,
accessory, conditional, and prohibited uses in the C-G zoning district. No specific uses
are proposed at this time.
C. Dimensional Standards: The dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2B-3 for the C-G
zoning district apply to development of this site.
IX. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT (CPAM): The applicant proposes an amendment to
the future land use map (FLUM) contained in the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan
(TMISAP) to change the land use designation on 75.5 acres of land from Lifestyle Center (LC),
Medium High Density Residential (MHDR); and High Density Employment (HDE) to
Commercial.
The applicant proposes to develop the site with a range of uses from office and professional, to
hospitality, to large and small retailers as allowed in the C-G zoning district, consistent with the
proposed Commercial land use designation. See Section VII above for more information.
ANNEXATION & ZONING (AZ): The applicant proposes to annex and zone a total of 89.22 acres
of land with a C-G (General Retail & Service Commercial) zoning district consistent with the
proposed Commercial FLUM designation.
The legal description submitted with the application (included in Exhibit C) shows the boundaries
of the property proposed to be annexed and zoned contiguous to the existing boundary of the City
of Meridian.
Concept Plan: The applicant has submitted a conceptual development plan included in Exhibit
A.2 that depicts future building locations, parking, streets and drive aisles. Some sample building
elevations are also included in Exhibit A.3 that depicts how future structures may be constructed.
Ultimately, the final design of the site and structures on the site must be consistent with the
provisions of the UDC, the Meridian Design Manual, and the design concepts contained in the
TMISAP for this area.
Zoning: The proposed C-G zoning for the site is consistent with the zoning choices listed in the
Zoning District Compatibility Matrix of the TMISAP for the existing Lifestyle Center and High
TM Crossing CPAM-12-001; AZ-12-005; PP-12-003 PAGE 10
EXHIBIT A
Density Employment designated areas as well as the proposed Commercial designation.
However, Medium High Density areas are anticipated to have residential (R-8 or R-15) zoning.
Because the applicant proposes a Commercial designation for the entire site, no residential zoning
is proposed. The residential designated area consists of approximately 8.5 acres at the northeast
corner of the site.
Hours of Operation: Business hours of operation in the C-G zoning district are limited from
6:00 am to 11 pm when the property abuts a residential use or district, per UDC 11-2B-3A.4.
There are existing residences along the east boundary of this site. Staff recommends that hours of
operation of businesses along that boundary be restricted accordingly through the DA.
Sign: A Welcome to Meridian monument sign is designated on this property visible from the I-84
off-ramp to Ten Mile Road. Staff is recommending a DA provision that the developer construct a
sign accordingly and coordinate with staff on the location and design.
PRELIMINARY PLAT (PP): A preliminary plat is proposed that consists of 50 commercial
building lots and 4 common other lots on 75.5 acres of land for TM Crossing Subdivision. The
preliminary plat is proposed to develop in two phases (see Exhibit A.4). Although an abundance
of lots are proposed, staff recognizes this is because future users/owners are unknown making the
ultimate size and configuration of lots impossible to know at this time. The proposed plat will
allow for a future reduction in lots or property boundary adjustments as needed.
As noted above in Section VII, the proposed street layout is not entirely consistent with the
transportation system map contained in the TMISAP. Staff recommends that the applicant
revise the preliminary plat in accord with the provisions listed in Exhibit B, 1.1.1., prior to
the City Council hearing.
Dimensional Standards: Staff has reviewed the proposed plat for conformance with the
dimensional standards of the C-G zoning district and found it to be in compliance with those
standards. Future development of the property shall comply with these standards.
Cross-Access/Parlcing: A note is depicted on the preliminary plat that grants cross-
access/parking to all lots within the subdivision.
Access: Access to this site is proposed via an off-site access to Ten Mile Road north of the site;
no other access is available to the site at this time.
ACHD policy restricts the amount of traffic allowed on a collector roadway with only one public
street access in and out of the site to 3,000 vehicle trips per day. Depending on the number of
vehicle trips per day, only one user or phase may be allowed until secondary access can be
obtained (see ACHD comments in Exhibit B).
Additionally, the Fire Department requires commercial buildings or facilities having a gross
building area of more than 62,000 square feet to be provided with two separate and approved fire
apparatus access roads separated by one half of the maximum overall diagonal dimension of the
property or area to be served, measured in a straight line between accesses as set forth in
International Fire Code Appendix D104.2. An exception is allowed for projects having a gross
building area of up to 124,000 square feet that have a single approved fire apparatus access road and
all buildings are equipped throughout with approved automatic sprinkler systems (remoteness
required).
There may be an opportunity for an emergency access point at the east boundary of this site from
Primrose Subdivision. Currently, there is a 25-32 (varies) foot public right-of--way, W. Verbena
Drive, existing at the east boundary of this site - a portion of which has not been improved. If
emergency access is provided in this location, the access road would need to be improved per Fire
Department standards.
TM Crossing CPAM-12-001; AZ-12-005; PP-12-003 PAGE 11
EXHIBIT A
Landscaping: Landscape buffers along streets are required to be provided in the C-G district in
accord with UDC Table 11-2B-3 and the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C as follows: a 50-foot
wide buffer is required along I-84; a 35-foot wide buffer is required along S. Ten Mile road, an
arterial street and entryway corridor; and 20-foot wide buffers are required along all collector
streets (W. Smithfield Dr., W. Cross Bridge Dr., W. Goodland St., and S. New Market Ave.).
A 25-foot wide buffer to adjoining residential
accord with the standards in UDC 11-3B-9C
residential properties in Primrose Subdivision.
uses is required per UDC 11-Table 11-2B-3 in
along the east boundary of the site adjacent to
In areas where the buffer is encumbered by easements or other restrictions, the buffer area is
required to include a minimum 5-foot wide area for planting shrubs and trees, per UDC 11-3B-
7C.lb. Along the south boundary of the site adjacent to I-84 and along the west boundary of the
site adjacent to Ten Mile, an 85-foot wide easement is depicted for the re-located Purdam Drain.
The applicant proposes a minimum 10-foot wide buffer outside of the easement for landscaping.
Parkways planted with Class II trees are required to be a minimum of 8-feet in width, measured
from the back of curb, per UDC 11-3A-17E. The width of the buffer may be reduced to 6-feet in
width if root barriers are provided in accord with UDC 11-3A-17E.2. The landscape plan depicts
7.5-foot wide parkways; the plan should be revised accordingly.
Waterways: The Purdam Drain currently bisects this property from the southeast corner to the
northwest corner. The Taylor Drain connects to the Purdam Drain from the south. The Purdam
Drain is proposed to be relocated along the southern boundary of the site. Both of these
easements are proposed to be vacated.
Pathway: The City's Master Pathway's plan depicts a section of the City's multi-use pathway
system on this site along Ten Mile Road. When the Ten Mile interchange was constructed, a 7-
foot wide sidewalk was constructed along Ten Mile Road. Since there is not adequate area to
widen the sidewalk in this area because of the steep grade between the road and site, a pathway or
widening of the existing sidewalk will not be required.
Staff recommends approval of the subject applications with the conditions and development
agreement provisions listed in Exhibit B.

i. At a minimum, the following design elements from the TMISAP shall be incorporated
into the development:
• Buildings at or close to the property line facing the street -main entrances/facades
should be oriented to the street;
• Buildings should relate effectively to the fronting streets by aligning and being as
continuous as possible;
• Buildings at street corners should "hold the corners";
• The space between a building facade and the adjacent sidewalk should be landscaped
with a combination of lawn, groundcover, shrubs, and trees;
• Restaurants are encouraged to have outdoor dining; shops & stores are encouraged to
open their doors & street front windows & use clear glass that allows visual access
inwards & outwards;
• Human-scale design by building entrances placed close to the street, ground floor
windows, articulated facades, appropriately scaled signs and lighting, and awnings
and other weather protection;
TM Crossing CPAM-12-001; AZ-12-005; PP-12-003 PAGE 30
EXHIBIT A
• Provide elements that become focal points and announce special places in the Ten
Mile area (gateway & entryway corridor signs, continuous walkways, attractive
streetscape design, avoid parking in front of buildings, landscaping, etc.);
• Architectural character should establish a clear sense of identity for each activity
center through an overall palette for each commercial center while maintaining a
degree of individuality for each building. The palette should address and coordinate
key elements such as materials (walls, roofs, key architectural elements), and colors,
etc.;
• Low-rise buildings of 2-4 stories over much of the area is recommended with
opportunities for taller buildings in a few locations;
• For streets & block fronts where commercial uses and pedestrian activity are most
desired, it is recommended that sidewalks be lined with shops, restaurants, and
galleries and that buildings be designed with multiple sidewalk entries, generously-
scaled display and transom windows, pedestrian-scaled signs and banners, and
awnings or canopies for sun shading;
• Signs should be designed to contribute to the overall character, identity and way
finding system. Signs should be compatible with the architecture of the buildings and
businesses they identify in colors, materials, sizes, shapes, and lighting.
• Public art that contributes to the character and identity of the City should be
incorporated into the development in the design of streetscapes, plazas, public spaces
associated with buildings, etc. Art should be easily visible to the public (e.g. on the
exterior of buildings rather than in lobbies, or visible from the street or publicly
accessible open spaces rather than interior courtyards).
• Four-sided architecture is important where appropriate;
• Public spaces and linkages should be clearly defined.
j. All street names within the subdivision shall be approved by the Street Name
Committee (or Planning Commission, as applicable) prior to final plat approval.
k. If the property owner to the north (Parcel #51214233665) is prepared to participate
in the dedication of right-of--way and the cost of construction on a 50/50 basis at the
time of construction, the subiect property owner shall construct the roundabout at
the north boundary of the site with the first phase of development; or,
If the property owner to the north is not prepared to participate at the time of
development of the subiect property, the subiect property owner shall:
• design the roundabout so that riEht-of--way boundaries are determined, but
design and construct the road without the roundabout, including interim
connections to service drives.
• dedicate right-of--way on the subiect property for the future roundabout and
submit funds to ACRD for the construction cost of the roundabout, less
design costs, and design and construction costs for the interim street section.
At the time the property owner to the north plats any portion of the adiacent
property, that owner would be obligated to construct a full roundabout,
including modifications to any interim access points.

that you consider rodeslgr-ing the site plan to allow for the construction of a 3 legged roundabout ~ #his

of a street into flx r~ortlMerrt parcel, prov~ting better access to the northern parcel. Barring that, provide
