1. Docket No. 18030016 Z: Franciscan Health Rezone,S-2 to MC(Meridian Corridor)
The applicant seeks approval to rezone approximately 6.16 acres to the MC/Meridian Corridor zoning district
classification. The site is currently zoned S-2/Single Family Residential. It is located at the southeast corner of
111th Street and Illinois Street. Filed by Robert Hicks of Hall,Render,Killian,Heath,&Lyman,P.C. on behalf of
Franciscan Health.
Petitioner: Robert Hicks:
• We've addressed comments and our changes with Staff and at the Commercial Committees
• The proposed parking garage has been shifted 90 degrees and it's now 100' away from the neighborhood
• The purpose of moving the parking garage is to have it further away from the neighborhood and bufferyard
• Staff asked us to show a proposed master plan of the larger area. Showed site plan. It's a conceptual plan of
what it might look like if it's ever developed as a commercial parcel.
• None of the homes in the neighborhood are currently owned by the developer.
• We negotiated nine commitments with Staff. They are included in the info packet.
• We committed to buildings no taller than 2 stories(on the north parcel)
• We committed to a tree preservation plan. We hired an arborist to be involved and work with the Urban Forester
to preserve the existing healthy,noninvasive trees in the bufferyards. We will also increase the landscaping so we
can minimize the light spill onto the adjacent neighborhood to the east.
• We agreed to light poles no taller than 15'
• The entire campus will be subjected to property taxes for a term of 25 years
• We committed to have screening of any unloading and loading docks that would be in view to the neighborhood
• No outside trash storage and restricted hours for trash removal
• Only daylight hours for any property maintenance that is 90 decibels or higher
• Indoor bike parking will be provided
• We would ask you to approve this and send to City Council
Department Report: Rachel Keesling:
• We wanted to address the future of the existing Meridian suburban neighborhood,because it's not certain that
those homes will always be there
• This land and subdivision was not rezoned to MC because we hoped to see a rezoning development proposal for
the whole area
• We hoped this would be developed as an Employment Node for the City
• The petitioner did a master plan study in how their site can be expanded and connected to the other area
• We are in favor of their changes
• We are in support of the 9 commitments the proposed
• We would like commitment#3 (deals with the taxable nature of the land)to be worked on at the Council level

Committee Comments:
Alan Potasnik: Rachel included everything I had on my Commercial Committee report. They fulfilled everything we
needed. Only Council could work out the taxes. Mr. Hicks,you did a fine job.
Brad Grabow: Can you explain the concept? Robert Hicks: Staff wanted to see the buildings located more in
conjunction with one another and not as spread out as we initially shown them. Since we are limiting the building
heights to 2 stories only,we are within development standards of the UDO. Brad: What are the methods you would use
to bring the employee parking in the garage and the surface parking closer to the buildings themselves for patient or
visitor parking? Brad: Our priority is to have the patient and visitor parking as close to the primary use as possible to
the buildings. Rachel Keesling: Through the master plan study,the reason why the building location moved was to
facilitate future vehicular movement. Even though this is a conceptual plan,the location of the proposed buildings
located on the south parcel,they are constricted by the pipeline easement.
A motion by John Adams,and seconded by Tom Kegley to forward Docket No. 18030016 Z to City
Council with a favorable recommendation.
