D. Utilities:
1. Location of sewer: The sanitary sewer main intended to provide service to this development
is existing in S. Baltic Avenue.
2. Location of water: Domestic water mains that are intended to provide service to this
development are existing to the north in S. Baltic Avenue and in E. Kalispell Street to the
southeast.
Issues or concerns: Domestic water services must be extended through this development
from both locations mentioned above. The development also falls on a domestic water
pressure zone boundary, and therefore will be required to install an additional connection to
the higher pressure zone in Franklilr Road near the Northeast corner of the existing Baltic
Place development. This connection will keep the overall development in a higher pressure
zone, thereby providing higher levels of fire protection.
t. Physical Features:
1. Canals/Ditches h•rigation: The Hunter Lateral runs along the south boundary of the site and is
tiled.
2. Hazards: NA
3. Flood Plain: This property is not within the flood plain.
VII. COMPREHENSN>J PLAN ANALYSIS
CITY OF MctuDIAN COMPREH ENSIVIi PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS:
I:,xisting:
The Comprehensive Plan Fuhtre Land Use Map (FLUM) currently designates the property as High
Density Residential (I-IDR). The pwpose of the HDR designation is to allow mtdti-family
development where urban services are available. Residential gross densities may exceed fifteen
dwelling traits per acre. Development might include duplexes, aparhnents and townhomes.
Proposed:
1'he applicant proposes to change the PLUM designation from HDR to Industrial. The purpose of the
industrial designation is to provide a range of indushrial uses that support industrial and commercial
activities and to develop areas with sufficient urban services. The hndustrial designation on the FLUM
anticipates light industit•ial (I-L) or heavy Indust, ial (I-H) zoning. These zoning designations allow for
various indusG~ial uses.
The applicant is proposing to rezone to the 1-L zone and plat the property concm•rent with the
proposed map change to develop Lot 1, Block Iwith the new HD Fowler facility (contractor's yard).
The proposed development is consistent with the requested FLUM change and rezone to I-L.
In evaluating the surrounding land uses, a vast majority of them are either commercial or industrial.
Adjacent to the Locust Grove corridor, numerous properties are designated mixed use which
encourages a housing element. Over the last couple of years the City has seen a decline in the amount
of available industrial property and an incline inmulti-family developments.
Since this property is iu an area that is primarily developed with hndustrial uses and other properties in
the general vicinity are designated mixed use which encourages a housing component, stafffinds the
industrial designation is a better fit for the area than high density t~sideutial.

Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to
the proposed use (staff analysis in italics):
1. "Require all commercial development and industrial businesses to install and mahrtain
landscaping." (2.07.03B)
A 10 foot wide landscape buffer is regarired adjacent to S Bahic Ave~rt~e aiad E. Kalispell S6•eet
cut-de-sacs in accord vrith UDC 11-3B-7C.
2. "Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of
final approval and development is contiguous to the City." (3.0 LO1F)
City services ia~il7 be provided !o the indz~shial lots rovith the ca»shuctio~a of the sabdivirion.
3. "Encourage infill development in vacant/undeveloped areas within the City over fringe area
development to halt the outward progression of urban development.:" (5.01.02B)
The proposed development is an ii?fill project co~asistent with t7iis objective.
4. "Review new development fa• appropriate opportunities to connect local roads and collectors to
adjacent properties." (3.03.020)
Tvvo local sheets (S. Baltic Avenue and E. Kalispell Sheet) rn•e stubbed to lTte prohertjz The
applicant is propos~i~ag to terminate each stub sp•eet as czil-de-sacs. Loz 1, Block 1 vrill have
access to both roachvays. The other lot will hm~e access to/from the E. Kalispell. Stafffn~ds llae
proposed access is consistent rrith the UDC. Fzn•ther, the proposed development is located in cm
area that has rm established roadrocry ~tehvork to serve the proposed indzrsh•ial developme~~t.
5. "Designate land for a variety of uses." (3.05.0 ] H)
The last several years die City has seen a decline i~a its i~edushial properties and multi fancily
denelopme~tts have been on the incline ntaldieg this a good candidate for i~adusb•ial zrses rathw•
than ]aigh de»sity reside~~Xial.
6. "Monitor and adjust accordingly, the amount of industrial areas needed to meet the employment
needs of the City." (3.OS.OlI~)
Curre~aAy the City's b~dushial properties are sfruated along the rail corridor, I-84 or are
znadeveloped rovitbin the Teu Mile Specific Area Plan This area ccm be serviced a»d is supported
by n~a establrshed rood ~aetrvorh which makes it a viable location to attract indzrsh•ial zrses to n~teet
the emplayn~rent needs of the conanuniry.
7. "Encourage industrial developmenC to locate adjacent to existing industrial uses." (3.06.01 C)
A vast majority of the properties to ibe east ar•e developed u~itla indusd•al uses nrakn~g this an
ideal location for more iiadustrial development.
Based on the above analysis, staff is suppm•tive of the proposed development as it is generally
consistent with the comprehensive plan.
STATE REQUfRED COMPREHENSNE 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.

c. Housing
The Cily 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. A housing element is root a component of the subject CPAM.
d. Economic Development
Meridian's economic base has been gradually shifting over the last 20 years from afanning-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 emplo~nent needs of the
co~mnunity has also changed. The Comprehensive Plan forecasts the need to continually adjust
the provision of crnmnercial lands in order to gradually broaden economic opportunity tlwoughout
the City.
Tlae subject property is can•rently ident~ed as' appropriate for high density residential. Siace the
property is san~rotrnded by developed convnercial and indush~ia7 uses, staff is of the opiniwa dae

IX. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Kecommendatiott:
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT (CPAIVI): The applicant proposes to amend the
future land use map (PLUM) contained in the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use
designation on approximately 9.41 acres of land from High Density Residential (1IDR) to
Industrial (see Exhibit A.2).
Please see the ana]ysis included above in Section VII and the Findings in Exhibit B below fa'
more information.
REZONE AND UEVELOPMEN'I' AGREEMENT MODiEICATION (RZ AND MDA): The applicant IS
proposing to rezone 9.41 acres from the R-40 zoning district to the [-L zoning district to develop
Lot 1, Block 1 with the new HD Fowler facility (contractor's yard). The recorded developmeut
agreement allows for the development of one (1) apartment lot and the planned development
allows the construction of228 multi-family dwelling units. Since the multi-family use is no
longer planned for the site and many of the DA provisions affect the remaining vacant
commercial lots along the uordt boundary, staff is recommending that the property be excluded
from the recorded developmeut agreement and subject to a new DA. Staff s recommended DA
provisions are provided iu Exhibit B.
PRELIMINARY PLAT (PP): The proposed preliminary plat consists of two (2) building lots on
approximately 9.41 acres of land itt a proposed 1-L zoning district. Lot 1, Block 1 is five (5) acres
iu size and Lot 2, Block consists of 3.93 acres. The proposed plat and fiihu•e development is
required to comply with the dimensional standards of the I-L zoning distict listed in UDC fable
I 1-2C-2. The submitted plat has the required 10-foot wide landscape buffer easement and the
submitted landscape has the required plantings iu accord with UDC 11-3B-7C.
As mentioned earlier, the HD Fowler Company plans on developing Lot 1, Block 1 with a
contractor's yard. On the submitted landscape plan the applicant has provide a concephtal layout
that depicts an 8,000 square foot two-story office building, an 8,000 square foot warehouse
building and a secure storage yard. The storage yard is proposed to be screened with a CMU wall
and fencing. At this time, details of the screening materials have not been submitted. With the
submittal of the certificate of zoning compliance, the applicant nmsC provide details of the
screenhtg materials to ensure the storage yard complies with the standards set forth in UDC 11-
3A-14.
Building Elevations: Lt conjunction with the conceptual layout, the applicant has also provided a
photo that demonsd•ates the conshuction materials for the office building. The primary building
materials consists of metal siding and split face block (see Exhibit A.6). Because the photo only
shows the front elevation, staff is unable to determine the quaG[y of development such as if
modulation exists in wall planes, floor plans and rooflines to articulate buildhtg mass and form; if
the quality of design and detail is present on all facades; if there are adequate details on all
elevations to provide articulation and avoid blank walls; if there will be a variety of materials and
color changes for variety and interest on all facades; etc. Ultimately, the final design of the site
Baltic Place Addition CPAM-I3-001; RZ-13-007; PP-13-015 & MDA-13-013
YAGB7
and shnctures on the site must be consistent with the provisions of the UDC I ]-3A-19 and the
Meridian Design Manual.
Access: Access to this property is provided by two (2) stub stt•eets. S. Baltic Avenue is sfibbed
along the north boundary and E. I{alispelt Street is sfibbed at the southwest corner of the
property, both streets will terminate in cut-de-sacs. The HD Fowler property (Lot 1, Block 1) will
have access to both cut-de-sacs and Lot 2, Block 1 will have ft•ontage and access to E. I{alispell
Street. Since both lots have access to the adjacent local streets, staff is not recommending a cross
access agreement between the properties. ACRD has reviewed the submitted plan and suppot•ts
the terminus of the sheets as cut-de-sacs. The proposed plat complies with t'he access to street
standards in accord with UDC 11-3A-3.
Sidewalk: Five-foot wide attached sidewalks are adjacent Lo the and-de-sacs in accord with UDC
1 ]-3A-17.
Wate~tivays: The Hunter Lateral transverses the south side oi' Lot 2, Bloclc 1. This lateral is
currently tiled in accord with the UDC.
Summary: In summary staff finds the proposed project complies with the fufire land use map,
applicable policies of the Comprehensive plan and is conditioned to comply with the applicable
development standards hi the UDC. Based on the aforementioned analysis, staff recommends
approval of the subject application.
