VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
This property is designated "Industrial" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. This
designation allows a range of industrial uses to support industrial and commercial activities and to
develop areas with sufficient urban services. Light industrial uses may include warehouse, storage
units, light manufacturing, and incidental retail and office uses. Heavy industrial uses may include
processing, manufacturing, warehouses, storage units, and industrial support activities. In all cases,
screening, landscaping, and adequate access should be provided.
The proposed use of the site for a club volleyball training facility is not a typical industrial use;
however, the UDC classifies the proposed use as an indoor recreation facility and as such requires
conditional use approval in the I-L district.
Rise Volleyball CUP-12-009 PAGE 2
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to
the proposed use (staff analysis in italics):
• "Require all commercial and industrial businesses to install and maintain landscaping."
There is an existing landscaped street buffer on this site along E. Lanark Street.
• "Locate industrial and commercial uses where adequate water supply and water pressure are
available for fire protection."
There is adequate water supply and pressure available to the site for fire protection.
• "Develop indoor/outdoor multiple-use facilities (i.e., recreation center, fairgrounds, etc.) for a
variety of recreational, educational, cultural, and sports purposes and uses."
The existing warehouse building will provide an indoor practice facility for club volleyball
that will be centrally located within the community.
For the above-stated reasons and because of the large size and openness of a building needed for an
indoor volleyball practice facility, staff is of the opinion the proposed use is appropriate in this
location.
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
A. 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.
B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) 11-2C-21ists the permitted,
accessory, conditional, and prohibited uses in the I-L zoning district. The proposed
indoor recreation facility (volleyball training facility) is listed as a conditional use in the
I-L district. The specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-2 apply to the proposed use.
C. Dimensional Standards: The dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2C-3 for the I-L
zoning district apply to development of this site.
IX. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
The applicant requests approval of an indoor club volleyball practice facility in an existing
building in the I-L zoning district. The proposed use is classified as "indoor arts, entertainment or
recreation facility" in the UDC which requires conditional use approval in the I-L district. The
building size is 11,520 square feet. An interior wall that separates the warehouse into two areas is
proposed to be removed to accommodate the entire court; no exterior modifications to the
building are proposed.
There are specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-2 which apply to the proposed use. These
standards pertain to outdoor facilities, accessory uses, swimming pools, outdoor stages, and music
venues, none of which is proposed. Therefore, the proposed use is in compliance with these
standards.
The hours of operation are proposed to be from 4 pm to 10 pm Monday thru Friday. There will be
approximately 24 players practicing in the facility on a rotational basis with 7 coaches.
