County.
B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning:
1. North: Rural residential/agricultural property, zoned RI in Ada County
2. East: Agricultural property, zoned RUT in Ada County
3. South: Rural residential/agricultural property, zoned RUT in Ada County
4. West: N. Linder Road; vacant/undeveloped land, zoned C -C
C. History of Previous Actions: None
D. Utilities:

W. Ustick Road.
2. Location of water: Domestic water service to the proposed development currently exists in
W. Ustick Road and N. Linder Road.
3. Issues or concerns: None
E. Physical Features:
1. Canals/Ditches Irrigation: There is a ditch that bisects this site.
2. Hazards: Staff is not aware of any hazards that exist on this property.
4. Flood Plain: This site does not lie within the Meridian Floodplain Overlay District.
VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
The subject property is designated Mixed Use - Communityl (MU -C) on the Future Land Use Map
(PLUM) contained in the Comprehensive Plan.
The purpose of the MU -C designation is to allocate areas where community -serving uses and
dwellings are seamlessly integrated into the urban fabric. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses,
including residential, and to avoid mainly single -use and strip commercial type buildings. All
developments should have a mix of at least three land use types. Residential uses should comprise a
minimum of 20% of the development area at densities ranging from 6 tol5 units/acre.
The applicant proposes to annex the subject property with a C -C zoning district and develop the site
with a 3,600 square foot (s.f.) gas station, a 12,500 s.f. retail/commercial multi -tenant building, and a
5,000 s.f. bank. Staff finds the proposal will provide a mix of 3 different types of land uses as desired;
the adjacent properties to the north and east are designed medium density residential (MDR) on the
FLUM, which will provide the residential component desired in this area.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this application and apply to
the proposed use of this property (staff analysis in italics):
Sugarman Subdivision AZ -14-007; SHP-14-001 PAGE 3
1*0411130WA
• "Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent
parcels." (3.06.01F)
The UDC (Table 11-2B-3) requires a 25 foot wide landscape buffer to residential uses along
the north and east boundaries of the site to protect existing and future residential properties.
Currently, there are no residences directly adjacent to the site.
• "Encourage infill development." (3.01.02B)
The subject property is part of a larger area in the county that is surrounded by City annexed
property; annexation of this infill property will allow city services to be extended to the
property as intended and provided for.
• "Require pedestrian access connectors in all new development to link subdivisions together to
promote neighborhood connectivity as part of a community pathway system." (3.03.03B)
No pedestrian connections are depicted on the concept plan to adjacent properties. Staff
recommends a pedestrian pathway is provided to the north and east for future
interconnectivity.
• "Require all new and reconstructed parking lots to provide landscaping in internal islands and
along streets." (2.01.04B)
Landscaping is required within the planter islands in the parking areas with development of
this site.
• "Require appropriate landscaping and buffers along transportation corridor (setback,
vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.) (3.06.02F)
A 25 foot wide landscape buffer is required along W. Ustick and N. Linder Roads as shown
on the landscape plan in accord with the standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-7 & 11-3B-7.
• "Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time
of final approval and development is contiguous to the City." (3.01.01F)
City services are available and will be extended with the development of the site in accord
with UDC 11-3A-21.
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC)
A. Purpose Statement of Zone: Per UDC 11-2B-1, the purpose of the commercial districts is to
provide for the retail and service needs of the community in accordance with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan. Small-scale convenience uses with limited hours of operation and access to
arterial or collector streets are desired in the C -N district.
B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 11-2B-2 lists the principal permitted
(P), accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the C -C zoning district. Any use not
explicitly listed, or listed as a prohibited use is prohibited. The proposed use of the property for a
fuel sales facility, retail shops, and a financial institution are all principal permitted uses in the C-
C zoning district.
C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site should be consistent with the dimensional
standards listed in UDC Tables 11-2B-3 for the C -C zoning district.
D. Landscaping: Street buffer landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the standards listed
in UDC Tables 11-2B-3 for the C -C zoning district.
E. Off -Street Vehicle Parking/Bicycle Parking: Off-street vehicle parking and bicycle parking is
Sugarman Subdivision AZ -14-007; SHP-14-001 PAGE 4
1*0411130WA
required in accord with UDC 11-3C-6 for nonresidential uses
IX. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
1. Annexation & Zoning
The applicant has applied to annex and zone a total of 5.04 acres of land with a C -C zoning
district. As discussed above in Section VII, the proposed zoning is consistent with the
corresponding FLUM designation of MU -C.
A conceptual development plan is shown on the landscape plan included in Exhibit A.2 that
depicts a 3,600 square foot (s.£) gas station, a 12,500 s.f. retail/commercial multi -tenant building
and a 5,000 s.f. bank with a drive-thru. The drive-thru is shown on the east side of the structure
adjacent to the east boundary of the site next to land that is designated for residential uses on the
FLUM. Staff recommends the drive-thru is relocated internally to lessen noise impacts on
future adjacent residences; the plan should be revised accordingly prior to the City Council
meeting.
The legal description submitted with the application, included in Exhibit C, shows the boundaries
of the property proposed to be annexed and rezoned. The property is contiguous to land that has
been annexed into the City and is within the Area of City Impact boundary.
The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant
to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. In order to ensure the site develops as proposed with this
application, staff recommends a DA is required as a provision of annexation with the provisions
included in Exhibit B.
Because the FLUM designation for this property is MU -C, which allows for a mix of community
serving uses, Staff believes the proposed C -C zoning is appropriate for this property.
2. Short Plat
The proposed short plat consists of 4 building lots on 3.99 acres of land in a proposed C -C zoning
district.
Dimensional Standards: Staff has reviewed the proposed plat for compliance with the
dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-213-3. A 25 -foot wide landscape street buffer is
required along Ustick and Linder Roads and a 25 -foot wide landscape buffer is required along the
north and east boundaries adjacent to existing and future residential uses. There are no required
building setbacks other than those where landscape buffers are required; buildings may not
encroach within the buffers. The landscape plan should be revised to reflect the required street
buffer widths and landscaping in accord with UDC Table 11-213-3 and 11 -3B -7C respectively
prior to the City Council meeting.
Existing Structure(s): There are no existing structures on the site.
Access: Access to this site is proposed on the plat via W. Ustick Road and N. Linder Road. Staff
recommends access to N. Linder Road is restricted to right-in/right-out and access to W. Ustick
Road should be determined by ACRD. Staff has not yet received the ACHD report.
An access easement is depicted on the plat, centered on the common lot line between Lots 3 and
4, from W. Ustick Road to the north property boundary for future interconnectivity and to the
west boundary across Lots 1-3.
Access is not available to this site via a local street. Where access to a local access is not
available, cross -access /ingress -egress easements are required to be granted to adjoining
Sugarman Subdivision AZ -14-007; SHP-14-001 PAGE 5
1*0411130WA
properties in accord with UDC 11 -3A -3A.2. Therefore, staff recommends that cross -access is
provided to the property to the north as shown on the plat. However, staff does not recommend
cross -access is provided to the east; staff believes one access to the adjacent future residential
neighborhood is sufficient.
Utilities: Street lighting is required to be installed within and adjacent to the development in
accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. All development is
required to connect to the City water and sewer system unless otherwise approved by the City
Engineer in accord with UDC 11-3A-21.
Pressurized Irrigation (PI): An underground PI system is required to be provided to each lot in
the subdivision as proposed in accord with UDC 11-3A-15.
Storm Drainage: A storm drainage system is required for the development in accord with the
City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction shall follow best
management practice as adopted by the City in accord with UDC 11-3A-18.
Landscaping: A landscape plan was submitted with this application for the area proposed to be
platted as shown in Exhibit A.3. A minimum 25 -foot wide street buffer is required along N.
Linder Road and W. Ustick Road; and a minimum 25 -foot wide buffer is required along the north
and east boundaries of the site adjacent to existing and future residential uses. Landscaping within
these buffers is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3B -7C and 11 -3B -9C
respectively.
The street buffers are required to be depicted on the face of the plat within a common lot or on a
permanent dedicated buffer and a note should be included stating the buffer will be maintained by
the property owner or business owner's association. The buffer to residential uses is required with
development of each lot and is required to be a minimum of 25 feet wide.
Tree Mitigation: There are no existing trees on the site.
Sidewalks: Detached sidewalks are required along arterial streets as set forth in UDC 11-3A-17.
Attached sidewalks were recently constructed by ACHD with the intersection improvements
along the frontage of the site on Linder Road and most of Ustick Road, except for 150+/- feet
near the east boundary. In the area where no sidewalk exists, a detached sidewalk is required to
be constructed in accord with UDC requirements.
Pathways: There is not a regional pathway designated on the Master Pathways Plan for this site.
However, the pathway system crosses the right-of-way at the southwest corner of the site from
the south and continues to the west.
The concept plan does not depict any pathways to adjacent properties. To promote neighborhood
interconnectivity, staff recommends pedestrian pathways are provided to the north and east. The
concept plan should be revised accordingly.
Waterways: A ditch bisects this site from east to west. All ditches on the site are required to be
piped unless waived by City Council in accord with UDC 11 -3A -6A. The final plat should depict
the easement for the ditch on the face of the plat.
Floodplain: This site does not lie within the Meridian Floodplain Overlay District.
Building Elevations: The applicant did not submit conceptual building elevations for the future
structures within this development. Future development is required to comply with the design
standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19 and the guidelines in the Meridian Design Manual.
Fencing: No fencing is depicts on the landscape plan. The site plan depicts an existing fence
around the perimeter of the property. All fencing should comply with the standards listed in UDC
11-3A-613 and 11-3A-7.
