VI. LAND USE
A. Existing Land Use(s): This site is vacant property approved through a planned development for a
228-unit multi-family development.
B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning:
North: Commercial property, zoned C-G
South: Cemetery property and commercial property, zoned RUT and C-G
East: Industrial property, zoned I-L
West: Cemetery, zoned RUT
C. History of Previous Actions: In 2001, the property was approved as a planned development (AZ-
01-008 and CUP-Ol-O15) consisting of commercial uses and high density residential: A
development agreement was required with the annexation of the property and recorded as
instrument # 102090926.
• In 200b, similar applications (CPAM, RZ, PP, MDA & CUP) were submitted to develop a self
service storage facility on the site but were withdrawn.
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.
3. 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 Franklin 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.
E. Physical Features:
l . Canals/Ditches Irrigation: 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.

Exhibit A
VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
CITY OF MERIDIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS:
Existing:
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) currently designates the property as High
Density Residential (HDR). The purpose of the HDR designation is to allow multi-family
development where urban services are available. Residential gross densities may exceed fifteen
dwelling units per acre. Development might include duplexes, apartments and townhomes.
Proposed:
The applicant proposes to change the FLUM designation from HDR to Industrial. The purpose of the
industrial designation is to provide a range of industrial uses that support industrial and commercial
activities and to develop areas with sufficient urban services. The Industrial designation on the FLUM
anticipates light industrial (I-L) or heavy industrial (I-H) zoning. These zoning designations allow for
various industrial uses.
The applicant is proposing to rezone to the I-L zone and plat the property concurrent with the
proposed map change to develop Lot 1, Block lwith 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 in an area that is primarily developed with industrial uses and other properties in
the general vicinity are designated mixed use which encourages a housing component, staff finds the
industrial designation is a better fit for the area than high density residential.
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 maintain
landscaping." (2.07.03B)
A 10 foot wide landscape buffer is required adjacent to S. Baltic Avenue and E. Kalispell Street
cul-de-sacs in accord with 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.Ol.OIF)
City services will be provided to the industrial lots with the construction of the subdivision.
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 infill project consistent with this objective.
4. "Review new development for appropriate opportunities to connect local roads and collectors to
adjacent properties." (3.03.020)
Two local streets (S. Baltic Avenue and E. Kalispell Street) are stubbed to the property. The
applicant is proposing to terminate each stub street as cul-de-sacs. Lot 1, Block 1 will have
access to both roadways. The other lot will have access to/from the E. Kalispell. Staff finds the
proposed access is consistent with the UDC. Further, the proposed development is located in an
area that has an established roadway network to serve the proposed industrial development.
5. "Designate land for a variety of uses." (3.OS.OIH)
Baltic Place Addition CPAM-13-001; RZ-13-007; PP-13-015 & MDA-13-013
PAGE 4
Exhibit A
The last several years the City has seen a decline in its industrial properties and multi family
developments have been on the incline making this a good candidate for industrial uses rather
than high density residential.
6. "Monitor and adjust accordingly, the amount of industrial areas needed to meet the employment
needs of the City." (3.OS.OIK)
Currently the City's industrial properties are situated along the rail corridor, I84 or are
undeveloped within the Ten Mile Specific Area Plan. This area can be serviced and is supported
by an established road network which makes it a viable location to attract industrial uses to meet
the employment needs of the community.
7. "Encourage industrial development to locate adjacent to existing industrial uses." (3.06.O1C)
A vast majority of the properties to the east are developed with industrial uses making this an
ideal location for more industrial development.
Based on the above analysis, staff is supportive of the proposed development as it is generally
consistent with the comprehensive plan.
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 intended use of this property is an
industrial development which will integrate well with existing commercial and industrial uses in
the area.
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. City infrastructure can serve the proposed development.
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. A housing element is not a component of the subject CPA~Yf.
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 C ity.
Baltic Place Addition CPAM-13-001; RZ-13-007; PP-13-O15 & MDA-13-013
PAGE 5
EXhlblt A
The subject property is currently identified as appropriate for high density residential. Since the
property is surrounded by developed commercial and industrial uses, staff is of the opinion the
property is better situated for industrial development rather than multi family. The graphic
provided below demonstrates that the City of Meridian has limited acreage of industrial property
in comparison to residential and commercial zoned properties (see Exhibit A.3). Historically,
industrial zoned property has created opportunities for family wage jobs and has spurred
economic development.
e. Public Services, Facilities, and Utilities
City water and sewer service is available to the subject 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. Not applicable.
g. Transportation
The purpose of this element is to promote an efficient and safe transportation system within the
City. The property is located in an area that has an established roadway network to adequately
serve the proposed industrial development.
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 signi scant 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 developed City parks totaling approximately
240 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
proj ection 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 industrial development is consistent with the proposed
industrial designation for this site.
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 Division will administer the
Baltic Place Addition CPAM-13-001; RZ-13-007; PP-13-015 & MDA-13-013
PAGE 6
EXhlblt A
Comprehensive Plan and its policies through the Unified Development Code. The Planning and
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. The current property owner has consented to the application submittal.
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC)
A. Purpose Statement of Zone: Per UDC 11-2C-1A, 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) Table 11-2C-2 lists the principal permitted
(P), accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the I-L zoning district. Any use not
explicitly listed, or listed as a prohibited use is prohibited.
C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site should be consistent with the dimensional
standards listed in UDC Table 11-2C-3 for the I-L zoning district.
D. Landscaping: Street buffer landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the standards listed
in UDC Table 11-2C-3 for the I-L zoning district.
E. Subdivision Design and Improvement Standards: The subdivision must comply with the
subdivision design standards outlined in UDC 11-6C-3.
IX. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT (CPAM): The applicant proposes to amend the
future land use map (FLUM) contained in the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use
designation on approximately 9.41 acres of land from High Density Residential (PIDR) to
Industrial (see Exhibit A.2).
Please see the analysis included above in Section VII and the Findings in Exhibit B below for
more information.
REZONE AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT MODIFICATION (RZ AND MDA): The applicant is
proposing to rezone 9.41 acres from the R-40 zoning district to the I-L zoning district to develop
Lot 1, Block 1 with the new HD Fowler facility (contractor's yard). The recorded development
agreement allows for the development of one (1) apartment lot and the planned development
allows the construction of 228 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 north boundary, staff is recommending that the property be excluded
from the recorded development agreement and subject to a new DA. Staff s recommended DA
provisions are provided in Exhibit B.
Baltic Place Addition CPAM-13-001; RZ-13-007; PP-13-O15 & NIDA-13-013
PAGE 7
EXhlblt A
PRELIMINARY PLAT (PP): The proposed preliminary plat consists of two (2) building lots on
approximately 9.41 acres of land in a proposed I-L zoning district. Lot 1, Block 1 is five (5) acres
in size and Lot 2, Block consists of 3.93 acres. The proposed plat and future development is
required to comply with the dimensional standards of the I-L zoning district listed in UDC Table
11-2C-2. The submitted plat has the required 10-foot wide landscape buffer easement and the
submitted landscape has the required plantings in 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 provided a conceptual 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 application, the applicant must provide details of
the screening materials to ensure the storage yard complies with the standards set forth in UDC
11-3A-14.
Building Elevations: In conjunction with the conceptual layout, the applicant has also provided a
photo that demonstrates the construction 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 quality of development such as if
modulation exists in wall planes, floor plans and rooflines to articulate building 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
and structures on the site must be consistent with the provisions of the UDC 11-3A-19 and the
Meridian Design Manual.
Access: Access to this property is provided by two (2) stub streets. S. Baltic Avenue is stubbed
along the north boundary and E. Kalispell Street is stubbed at the southwest corner of the
property, both streets will terminate in cul-de-sacs. The HD Fowler property (Lot 1, Block 1) will
have access to both cul-de-sacs and Lot 2, Block 1 will have frontage and access to E. Kalispell
Street. Since both lots have access to the adjacent local streets, staff is not recommending a cross
access agreement between the properties. ACHD has reviewed the submitted plan and supports
the terminus of the streets as cul-de-sacs. The proposed plat complies with the access to street
standards in accord with UDC 11-3 A-3 .
Sidewalk: Five-foot wide attached sidewalks are adjacent to the cul-de-sacs in accord with UDC
11-3A-17.
Waterways: The Hunter Lateral transverses the south side of Lot 2, Block 1. This lateral is
currently tiled in accord with the UDC.
Summary: In summary staff finds the proposed project complies with the future land use map,
applicable policies of the Comprehensive plan and is conditioned to comply with the applicable
development standards in the UDC. Based on the aforementioned analysis, staff recommends
approval of the subject application.
