PROCESS FACTS A. The subject application is for annexation. A public hearing is required before the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council, consistent with Meridian City Code Title 11, Chapter 5. B. Newspaper notifications published on: July 13, 2018 C. Radius notices mailed to properties within 300 feet on: July 6, 2018 D. Applicant posted notice on site(s) on: July 23, 2018 VI. LAND USE A. Existing Land Use(s) and Zoning: This site consists of rural residential property, zoned R1 in Ada County. B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: 1. North: Rural residential property, zoned R1 in Ada County 2. East: Rural residential property, zoned RUT in Ada County 3. South: E. Ustick Road and single-family residential properties, zoned R-8 4. West: Rural residential property, zoned R1 in Ada County; and vacant/undeveloped land, zoned R-4 C. History of Previous Actions: A Record of Survey (#9145) was recorded on March 6, 2012 for the subject property which depicts two parcels – Parcel 1 and Parcel 2. Ada County does not have any documentation of an approved split resulting in this configuration; therefore, this property is deemed to be one parcel, eligible for one building permit. D. Utilities: 1. Location of sewer: A sewer main intended to provide service to the subject property currently exists adjacent to the subject parcel in E. Ustick Road. 2. Location of water: A water main intended to provide service to the subject property currently exists adjacent to the subject parcel in E. Ustick Road 3. Issues or concerns: The applicant has previously entered into an Agreement for Extension of Domestic Water and Sewer Service outside Meridian City Limits, and annexation is a requirement contained in that agreement. E. Physical Features: 1. Canals/Ditches Irrigation: There are no significant waterways that cross this site. 2. Hazards: Staff is unaware of any hazards that may exist on this property. 3. Flood Plain: This property does not lie within the flood plain. VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates this property as LDR (Low Density Residential). The LDR designation allows for the development of single-family homes on 750 E Ustick Rd – AZ H-2018-0061 PAGE 3 large lots where urban services are provided. Uses may include single-family homes at gross densities of three dwelling units or less per acre. The applicant is not proposing to redevelop the property at this time. The existing single-family residential use of the property is consistent with the LDR designation. VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC) A. Purpose Statement of Zone (UDC 11-2A-1): The purpose of the residential districts is to provide for a range of housing opportunities consistent with the Meridian comprehensive plan. Residential districts are distinguished by the dimensional standards of the corresponding zone and housing types that can be accommodated. B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 11-2A-2 lists the principal permitted (P), accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the R-2 zoning district. Any use not explicitly listed, or listed as a prohibited use is prohibited. Single-family detached dwellings are listed as a permitted use in the R-2 zoning district. C. Dimensional Standards: Any development on the site should be consistent with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-4 for the R-2 zoning district. D. Landscaping: Not applicable E. Off-Street Parking: Not applicable IX. ANALYSIS A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: 1. Annexation & Zoning: The applicant has applied for annexation and zoning of 1.65 acres of land in accord with the Agreement for Extension of Domestic Water and Sewer Service outside Meridian City Limits, recorded as Instrument No. 2018-047087 on May 23, 2018. The requested zoning district is R-2, consistent with the property’s FLUM designation of LDR. The applicant’s well on the property ran dry earlier this year. The City agreed to extend City water and sewer service to the property with the stipulation the applicant submit a request for annexation into the City within 10 business days of approval of the Agreement. The property was connected to City water and sewer service in May of this year. No new development is proposed with this application. Existing Conditions: With the recent widening of E. Ustick Road, the existing home does not comply with the front setback requirements of the R-2 district listed in UDC Table 11-2A-4; as such, it’s deemed a nonconforming structure and is subject to the standards listed in UDC 11-1B-5, Nonconforming Structure. Direct access to the subject property is provided from E. Ustick Road via a circle driveway across both properties. If the property redevelops in the future, access is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-3, Access to Streets. As noted in the Section VI.C above, although the Record of Survey (#9145) depicts two parcels, only one legal parcel exists. Therefore, the property at 772 E. Ustick Rd. is not eligible for a building permit. The property would need to be subdivided in order to be eligible for a building permit on that property. 750 E Ustick Rd – AZ H-2018-0061 PAGE 4 The legal description submitted with the application, included in Exhibit C, shows the boundaries of the property proposed to be annexed and zoned. 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 compliance with the provisions of annexation included in this report in Exhibit B, staff recommends a DA is required that contains the provisions listed in Exhibit B as discussed above. In summary, Staff recommends approval of the proposed annexation and zoning request for this site with a development agreement containing the provisions listed in Exhibit B of this report in accord with the findings contained in Exhibit D.
