Findings of Fact 1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit and preliminary plat to construct 124 Multi-family units on 16 buildable lots. The site is currently zoned C-G (General retail and service commercial). The City of Meridian’s Future Land Use map designates this area as mixed use. 2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: Direction Land Use Zoning North General Retail and Service Commercial C-G South Medium-low density Residential, Medium density Residential R-4, R-8 East Medium density Residential R-8 West General Retail and Service Commercial C-G 3. Site History: ACHD has not previously reviewed this site for a development application. 4. Adjacent Development: The following developments are pending or underway in the vicinity of the site: • Movado Estates Subdivision, consisting of 430 single family lots, located west and northwest of the site was approved by ACHD on December 7, 2016. 2 Harper Ridge/ MPP17-0040/ H-2017-0151-CUP-PP 5. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site. 6. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0.0 centerline miles of new public road. 7. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any building permits. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that time. 8. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/ Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP): There are currently no roadways, bridges or intersections in the general vicinity of the project that are currently in the Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP). • Overland Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 7-lanes from Eagle Road to Cloverdale Road between 2031 and 2035. • Victory Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 5-lanes from Eagle Road to Cloverdale Road between 2026 and 2030. • Cloverdale Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 7-lanes from Victory Road to Overland Road between 2021 and 2025. • The intersection of Overland Road and Eagle Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 7-lanes on the north leg, 7-lanes on the south, 9-lanes east, and 9-lanes on the west leg, and signalized between 2026 and 2030. • The intersection of Overland Road and Cloverdale Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 7- lanes on the north leg, 7-lanes on the south, 8-lanes east, and 8-lanes on the west leg, and signalized between 2026 and 2030. B. Traffic Findings for Consideration 1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 825 vehicle trips per day; 77 vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour, based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 9th edition. 2. Condition of Area Roadways Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per hour (VPH) * Acceptable level of service for a two-lane minor arterial is “E” (575 VPH) * Acceptable level of service for a five-lane principal arterial is “E” (1,780 VPH). 3. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT) Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD’s most current traffic counts. Roadway Frontage Functional Classification PM Peak Hour Traffic Count PM Peak Hour Level of Service Existing Plus Project Eagle Road 0-feet Principal Arterial 931 Better than “E” Better than “E” Overland Road 0-feet Principal Arterial 1,162 Better than “E” Better than “E” Cloverdale Road 0-feet Minor Arterial 881 “F” “F” Copper Point Drive 965-feet Collector N/A N/A N/A 3 Harper Ridge/ MPP17-0040/ H-2017-0151-CUP-PP • The average daily traffic count for Eagle Road north of Easy Jet Drive was 18,515 on 02/04/2015. • The average daily traffic count for Overland Road west of Cloverdale Road was 24,228 on 07/13/2016. • The average daily traffic count for Cloverdale Road south of Overland Road was 16,236 on 10/12/2017. • There are no current counts for Copper Point Drive. C. Findings for Consideration 1. Site Traffic Distribution A traffic impact analysis was conducted on October 23, 2017 by Thompson Engineers. The study estimates that 65% of the site traffic is expected to have origins/destinations north and west of the site, 15% south of the site, and 20% east of the site. The total average daily traffic count (ADT) on all study area roadway segments are within the maximum allowable ADT threshold of 2,000 vehicles per day (VPD) on local streets and 5,000 VPD on collector streets. Staff is in agreement with the traffic impact analysis that based on the above information this project is not expected to have significant impacts on the surrounding roadways. 2. Neighborhood Concern Neighbors in the Sutherland Farms development south of the site previously approached ACHD requesting a stop control intersection at Jeblar Way and Easy Jet Drive. A study was conducted on the intersection and stop control measures were not warranted at that time (March 2012). This intersection will continue to be monitored by ACHD staff as the area continues to develop. 3. Copper Point Drive a. Existing Conditions: Copper Point Drive is improved with 2-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide sidewalk along west portion of site and no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the east portion of the site. There is between 47 to 52-feet of right-of-way for Copper Point Drive (25 to 28-feet from centerline). 4 Harper Ridge/ MPP17-0040/ H-2017-0151-CUP-PP b. Policy: Collector Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all collector frontages adjacent to the site or internal to the development as required below, regardless of whether access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Master Street Map and Typologies Policy: District policy 7206.5 states that if the collector street is designated with a typology on the Master Street Map, that typology shall be considered for the required street improvements. If there is no typology listed in the Master Street Map, then standard street sections shall serve as the default. Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard right-of-way width for collector streets shall typically be 50 to 70-feet, depending on the location and width of the sidewalk and the location and use of the roadway. The right-of-way width may be reduced, with District approval, if the sidewalk is located within an easement; in which case the District will require a minimum right-of-way width that extends 2-feet behind the back-of-curb on each side. The standard street section shall be 46-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width typically accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, a continuous center left -turn lane, and bike lanes. Sidewalk Policy: District policy 7206.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalks at least 5-feet wide to be constructed on both sides of all collector streets. A parkway strip at least 6-feet wide between the back-of-curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians. Consult the District’s planter width policy if trees are to be placed within the parkway strip. Sidewalks constructed next to the back-of-curb shall be a minimum of 7-feet wide. Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway. Meandering sidewalks are discouraged. A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right- of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement. Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to existing streets adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These improvements are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk construction or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway features required through development. This segment of Copper Point Drive is designated in the MSM as a Commercial Collector with 3-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 40-foot street section within 54-feet of right-of-way. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct vertical curb, gutter, and 7-foot wide attached sidewalk along Copper Point Drive abutting the site. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant should be required to construct Copper Point Drive as ½ of a 40-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter, and either 7-foot wide attached or 5-foot wide detached sidewalk abutting the site. The applicant should tie into existing improvements to the east and west. The applicant should provide a permanent right-of-way easement for any public sidewalk placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk. 5 Harper Ridge/ MPP17-0040/ H-2017-0151-CUP-PP 4. Knapp Avenue a. Existing Conditions: Knapp Avenue is improved with 2-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is 50-feet of right-of-way for Knapp Avenue (25-feet from centerline). b. Policy: Local Roadway Policy: District Policy 7207.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all local street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District Policy 7207.5 states that right-of-way widths for all local streets shall generally not be less than 50-feet wide and that the standard street section shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The District will consider the utilization of a street width less than 36-feet with written fire department approval. Standard Urban Local Street—36-foot to 33-foot Street Section and Right-of-way Policy: District Policy 7207.5.2 states that the standard street section shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. This street section shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall typically be within 50-feet of right-of-way. The District will also consider the utilization of a street width less than 36-feet with written fire department approval. Most often this width is a 33-foot street section (back-of-curb to back- of -curb) for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7207.5.7 states that five-foot wide concrete sidewalk is required on both sides of all local street, except those in rural developments with net densities of one dwelling unit per 1.0 acre or less, or in hillside conditions where there is no direct lot frontage, in which case a sidewalk shall be constructed along one side of the street. Some local jurisdictions may require wider sidewalks. The sidewalk may be placed next to the back-of-curb. Where feasible, a parkway strip at least 8-feet wide between the back-of-curb and the street edge of the sidewalk is recommended to provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians and to allow for the planting of trees in accordance with the District’s Tree Planting Policy. If no trees are to be planted in the parkway strip, the applicant may submit a request to the District, with justification, to reduce the width of the parkway strip. Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway. Meandering sidewalks are discouraged. A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right- of -way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement. Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to existing streets adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These improvements are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk construction or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items. c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Knapp Avenue abutting the site. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Knapp Avenue is improved with curb, gutter, and sidewalk within 50-feet of right-of-way abutting the site. Therefore, no additional street improvements or right -of-way should be required as part of this application. 6 Harper Ridge/ MPP17-0040/ H-2017-0151-CUP-PP Consistent with District Minor Improvements policy, the applicant should be required to repair or replace any deficient or damaged curb, gutter, or sidewalk abutting the site. 5. Driveways Copper Point Drive a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing driveways onto Copper Point Drive from the site. b. Policy: Access Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops. District Policy 7206.1 states that the primary function of a collector is to intercept traffic from the local street system and carry that traffic to the nearest arterial. A secondary function is to service adjacent property. Access will be limited or controlled. Collectors may also be designated at bicycle and bus routes. Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7206.4.4 requires driveways located on collector roadways near a STOP controlled intersection to be located outside of the area of influence; OR a minimum of 150-feet from the intersection, whichever is greater. Dimensions shall be measured from the centerline of the intersection to the centerline of the driveway. Successive Driveways: District policy 7206.4.5 Table 1, requires driveways located on collector roadways with a speed limit of 20 MPH and daily traffic volumes greater than 200 VTD to align or offset a minimum of 245-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7206.4.6 restricts high-volume driveways (100 VTD or more) to a maximum width of 36-feet and low-volume driveways (less than 100 VTD) to a maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for high-volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for low-volume driveways with less than 100 VTD. Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7206.4.6, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30- feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers in accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7206.4.6. c. Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct 3 driveways onto Copper Point Drive from the site as follows: • A 25-foot wide driveway, located along the west property line approximately 375- feet west of Cobalt Point Way, and 155-feet east of an existing driveway, in alignment with an existing driveway to the north (measured centerline to centerline). • A 46-foot wide driveway with 2, 20-foot wide travel lanes, and a 6-foot wide median, located approximately 325-feet east of Cobalt Point Way and 370-feet west of the eastern driveway (measured centerline to centerline). • A 36-foot wide driveway, located approximately 270-feet west of Knapp Avenue (measured centerline to centerline). d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. 7 Harper Ridge/ MPP17-0040/ H-2017-0151-CUP-PP The applicant should construct the 3 driveways as curb return type driveways with minimum 30-foot radii; and pave the driveways their entire width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway. 6. Tree Planters Tree Planter Policy: Tree Planter Policy: The District’s Tree Planter Policy prohibits all trees in planters less than 8-feet in width without the installation of root barriers. Class II trees may be allowed in planters with a minimum width of 8-feet, and Class I and Class III trees may be allowed in planters with a minimum width of 10-feet. 7. Landscaping Landscaping Policy: A license agreement is required for all landscaping proposed within ACHD right-of-way or easement areas.
