Broadway Ave., Suite 102 Meridian, Idaho 83642 RE: UDC Text Amendment Zoning Districts Section 11-2A-7 Dear Mr. Hood: Attached for your review and favorable consideration is the UDC Text Amendment Application for the change of setback requirements for the R-15 Zone. I would like to request that the following UDC Text Amendment be added to our current UDC Text Amendment for the renaming of zoning codes that is currently scheduled to be heard on September 6th. If re -notification is required, we are willing to defer the P&Z Hearing for a few weeks to accomplish this addition. Per our previous meeting and in an effort to provide increased flexibility in housing types as well as to meet market demand we are requesting the following text amendments to the Medium High Density Residential (R-15) Zone. For R-15 residential neighborhoods that utilize private streets the setback would allow for a 0'-3' interior and rear yard distance. This would allow the builder the ability to utilize a zero -lot line attached product or a 3' building setback product. The current code calls for a 12' rear setback for all residential units, but not all residential products have a functional "back yard" area; therefore, there is no need for a 12' rear yard setback. This will require a plat note that states any area on a lot line, that is not covered by a building structure, to be a blanket utility and storm drainage easement. All fire and building codes would still be required to be met. Please refer to the attached exhibit that delineates the prospered changes in red text. On behalf of the applicant, DevCo Development thanks you for your consideration of this matter, should you have any questions or require additional information please contact myself or Laren Bailey at 208.336.5355.

This requirement can be satisfied through porches, patios, decks, and/or enclosed yards. Landscaping, entryway and other accessways shall not count toward this requirement.

Broadway Ave., Suite 102 Meridian, Idaho 83642 RE: UDC Text Amendment Zoning Districts Section 11-2-1 Dear Mr. Hood: Attached for your review and favorable consideration is the UDC Text Amendment Application for the change of naming convention to the Residential Zoning Districts. The Applicant is requesting that an amendment be made to the current Meridian City Code to modify the naming convention for residential zones. The current naming convention is very confusing to the public and often causes false concerns and conflicts at public hearings that we believe can be avoided by changing the names of the residential zoning district designations. On behalf of the applicant, DevCo Development thanks you for your consideration of this matter, should you have any questions or require additional information please contact myself or Laren Bailey at 208.336.5355. Sincerely, Jim D. Conger Managing Member JDC:Ib 4824 W. Fairview Ave. • Bolse, Idaho • 83706 208.336.5355 DEVC0. UDC Text Amendment 11-2-1 Summary of Application The City of Meridian's current UDC Section 11-2-1 lists the residential zoning districts with a numerical value, in the past It defined each zone by the number of units per acre In density available in that zone. Today, the numerical value of the zones no longer correlates to allowable density due to changes in the code and comprehensive plan. This naming convention has caused numerous problems and confusion among all parties involved in the development process. We propose that a new naming convention for residential zoning districts be adopted that does not cause confusion between zoning density and district dimensional standards. Summary of Changes Below we have provided strike thru comments on each of the sections of code that we believe will need to be changed in the City of Meridian Unified Development Code: 11-1A-1 Definition of Terms RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT: For the purposes of this title, the term residential district shall include the Low - Density Residential District R -A per}, Medium Low -Density Residential District R -B 4R-4�, Medium - Density Residential DistrictR-C -W,44, Medium High -Density Residential District R -D 14, High - Density Residential District R-E-W,4B), and Traditional Neighborhood Residential District (TN -R). 11-2-1 Zoning Districts Established The Chart to the right Illustrates the naming change to the residential zones. By simply changing the naming convention to an alphabetic designator rather than a numeric one. In this way the tendency to associate the zoning designation with density can be avoided. This will create less confusion for the public, city leaders and the development community. We recognize that changing all of the existing text to reflect the proposed naming convention In the existing code Is a daunting task, but we believe that it will be well worth the effort. Malting the Meridian City Code as easy to understand as possible will be beneficial for the entire community.
