D. Applicant posted notice on site by: December 28, 2013
VI. LAND USE
A. Existing Land Use(s): The subject property is vacant commercial property, zoned C-C.
B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: There are existing multi-
family developments along the north and east boundaries of this site; zoned R-15. The property to
the west is currently developed with rural residences, zoned RUT in Ada County however; future
mixed use development may occur based on the City's Future Land Use Map. The property to the
south is developed with convenience store, fuel facility and vehicle wash facility; zoned C-C.
C. History of Previous Actions:
In 2003, this property received annexation (AZ-03-009), preliminary plat (PP-03-010) and
conditional use pel7nit (PD) approval to develop a mix use project consisting of twenty-eight
(28) residential lots, three (3) commercial lots and five (5) common lots known as The
Courtyards at Ten Mile Subdivision. A development agreement (Inst. No. 103184142) was
recorded at the time of annexation. Later that year, a final plat (FP-03-064) was approved
consistent with the aforementioned applications.
In 2010, the City approved a rezone (RZ-10-001) of the commercial lots from the C-N zoning
district to the C-C zoning district. A new development agreement (DA) was required with the
rezone approval and recorded as instrument # 1 1 01 1 1 935; it replaced the DA approved in
2003. At the time of rezone approval, a concurrent development application (CUP-10-007)
was approved that allowed the southern portion of the site to develop with a Fast Eddy's
convenience store, fuel sales facility and vehicle washing facility. Since no new development
was proposed for the northern portion of the site, the recorded DA requires an amendment
once development is proposed.
VII. STAFF ANALYSIS
Concept Plan: The applicant is requesting to modify the recorded development agreement (DA)
approved with the rezone of the property. At the time Council approved the rezone, specific
Connections Credit Union at Ten Mile - MDA-13-023

EXHIBIT A
development plans were not submitted for the northern portion of the site thus, a provision of the
recorded DA requires the approval of a concept plan prior to commencing with development on the
northern/undeveloped portion of the site. Based on the specific provision, the applicant has submitted
a concept plan (see Exhibit A.2) that depicts two (2) commercial pad sites as follows:
• The northwest pad site depicts a bank with adrive-through. On the submitted plan, the square
footage of the building may range in size between 4,000 and 4,500 square feet and three (3)
drive-through lanes.
• The northeast pad site depicts amulti-tenant retail building with associated drive-through. On
the submitted concept plan the proposed building may range in size between 4,000 and 4,800
square feet with two (2) drive-through lanes. Without the drive-through use the square
footage of the building may increase up to 6,800 square feet.
NOTE: The proposed drive-through uses are not approved with flze saabject application and will be
evaluated wilt a fixture conditions! arse permit application which is scheduled for the January 16°i
P/Z hearing. Council approval is regarired on tlae DA modification prior to Corramissioaa action on
the CLIP application.
Elevations: The applicant has submitted a sample photo of an existing bank. The attached photo (see
Exhibit A.3) represents the proposed design of the future bank. The proposed building materials
include a mix of brick, stone, metal siding and glass. The proposed building materials are consistent
with the design standards set forth in UDC 11-3A-19.
At this time, no other building elevations have been submitted with the subject application. The
applicant would like to have the flexibility in the design of the future retail building. The goal is to
have a cohesive design theme between the two future buildings and the existing Fast Eddy's
convenience store to the south as intended by the recorded DA. Provision #1 in the recorded DA
requires all future structures on the site to comply with the structure and site design standards set forth
in UDC 11-3A-19 and the design guidelines contained in the Meridian Design Manual.
DA Modification: In general staff is supportive of the concept plan, building square footages and
sample photo proposed with the subject application. To move forward with development of the site as
proposed by the applicant, staff recommends the following modifications to the recorded DA:
1. Modify provision # 1: Future construction and development of the bank and retail pad site shall
comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19 and the objectives and guidelines of the
Meridian Design Manual in effect at the time of development.
2. Modify provision #7:

comply with the concept plan and sample photo attached in Exhibit A.2 and A 3
3. Add provision #8: Any futtire drive-through use on the site shall comply with the specific use
standards set forth in UDC 11-4-3-11.
Staff recommends approval of the development agreement modification with recommended changes
attached in Exhibit A.4.
