COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS This property is designated Old Town on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FEI)N). This designation includes the historic downtown and the true community center. Sample uses include offices, retail and lodghtg, theatres, restaw~ants, and service retail for surrounding residents and visitors. A variety of residential uses are also envisioned and could include reuse of existing buildings, new construction of multi-family residential over ground floor retail of office uses. At this time, there is no development proposed for the subject property. The existing residence will remain which is an allowed use within the requested O-T zone. Staff finds the followhtg Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the existing office use (staff analysis in italics): • Require all new parking lots to provide landscaping in intental islands and along streets (2.01.04B, Chapter 2, page 14). If/Wber~ dhe exrstrng r•esider~~ce is com~erted to a commercial use ira the fixture, the par•krng lot must comply with the landscape stcmdnrds set forth in UDC 11-3B-7C. • Restrict private curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets (3.06.02D, Chapter 3, page 53). Meridian Road access rvrdl be prohibited upon redenelopmextt of the property, including conversion of the ea:istixtg bonne to a non-resddentlal use. F~trtza•e access to this site tinill be required from W Washington Sheet in accord with UDC 11-3A-3, rovhen n Cert~cate of Zoning Compliance permit is issued • 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 (3.01.O1F, Chapter 3, pg. 45).

Tlads seta~ice twill nod chrntge tvdth the rezoning of the property. • Encourage Infill Development(3.04.02B, Chapter 3, pg. 5]). Ad dais tinge, no new developmend is proposed for the sztbject properly however; rezontitg this property to the O-T zone allon~s the properly to redevelopment with a greater rcn•iez~~ of uses as envisioned under the Comprehensive Plan. Based ou the analysis above, staff finds the existing use of the property and the proposed rezone to O- T is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive plan. VIIL UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE A. Purpose Statement of Zone: Per UDC 11-2D-IA, the purpose of the old town district is to accommodate and encourage further intensification of the historical city center in accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plau. The intent of the O-T district is to delineate a centralized activity center and to encourage its renewal, revitalization and growth as the public, quasi-public, cultural, financial and recreational center of the city. Public and quasi-public uses integrated with general business, and medium high to high density residential is encouraged to provide the appropriate mix and intensity of activities necessary to establish a truly urban city center. B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 1 I-2D-2 lists the principal permitted (P), accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the O-T zoning district. Any use not explicitly listed, or listed as a prohibited use is prohibited. The existing single family residence will remain a principally permitted zrse in d7ie O-T zonrng district. C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site should be consistent with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2D-4 for the O-T zoning district. D. Access to Streets: Future development of this site must comply with the access standards set fa-flt in UDC 11-3A-3. Czn~rendly, dhe property has access to N Merrdrem Road Upon fzrdure development or change in arse on dhe site, dhe Meridima Road access must cease and access to the side must be facdlidaded from W. Washington Sb•eet rn7d/or alley as ilhish~aded in the proposed conceptpTnn. E. Landscaping: Parking lot landscaping must be installed in accord with the standards listed in UDC Table 11-3B-8C. Off Street Parking: UDC 11-3C-6B requires 1 space fa• every 500 square feet of gross floor area. Off-sireetpcn-kdng applies to this properly tvitla a change of vse or upon rederelopnaent of the si[e. IX. ANALYSIS A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: REZONE (RZ): This site consists of 0.16 of an acre (0.34 of an acre including adjacent right-of=way) of land currently zoned R-4. The applicant proposes to rezone the property to O-T, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation of Old Town for this site. Currently, the property is developed with a single family residence which will remain a principally permitted use under the requested O-T zone. Currently, the existing home and property does not conform to the dimensional standards of the R-4 district The R-4 zoning district requires a 25-foot street setback for the shuchu-e and at least 60 feet of frontage and a minimum 8,000 square foot lot The rezone would eliminate the non-conformity as the O-T zone does not specify a minimum lot size or building setback. Valenti Rezone - RZ-13-004 PAGE 4 EXHIBIT A The applicant states that the current owner of the property has no desire or intention of developing the property at this time. Due to the split corridor roadway project, the owner is requesting the rezone to prepare the property for future sale and increase the marketability of the property. The applicant has submitted a basic concept plan (Exhibit A.2), as required with rezone application. The prunary purpose of this plan is to demonstrate that future access of the property will be provided from W. Washington Street and/or alley consistent with UDC 11-3A-3. With redevelopment and/or change of use for the site, a Certificate of Zoning Compliance application will be required to be submitted to the Plamvng Division for review and approval. The applicant will be responsible for ensuring the site complies with all City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development inclndurg but not limited to parking, landscaping and access. Further, the applicant will be responsible for obtaining approvals from the Building Division if/when a change of use is proposed for the property. Although not required, the City typically requires the execution of a development agreement (DA) with rezone requests. Staff is not recommendurg a development agreement with the subject rezone request for the following reasons: 1) This is a relatively small parcel and the rezone of the property would eliminate the non- conformity of the property with regards to the R-4 dimensional standards; 2) The existing single family home is a principally permitted use in the proposed O-T zone. Any change of use and or redevelopment will require certificate of zoning compliance and administrative design review approval, which will trigger the prohibition of the existing access point to Meridian Road and; 3) The Comprehensive Plan encourages the revitalization of Downtown. Any fi~hue development must comply with all City ordinances in effect at the time of development. Staff recommends approval of the proposed RZ application in accord with the comments listed in this report based on the findings in Exhibit D. X. EXHIBITS A. Drawings I. Vicinity Map 2.
