The property is currently zoned RUT, and the applicants have requested that the property be rezoned to R-8 upon annexation. The applicant's preliminary plat approval request is for 136 residential building lots and 13 common lots. The common lots include two parks. The proposed residential lots range in size AZ-O4-O14 SìennaCreek.AZ.PP.CUP.doc PP-O4-O19 Mayor & City Council Hearing Date: July 6, 2004 Page 2 trom 3,910 square feet to 11,600 square feet. The applicant is proposing two types of single family lots: standard lots which range in size from 5,000 square feet to 11,600 square feet and attached single family home lots with alley-loaded garages. The gross density of the proposed subdivision is 4.53 dwelling units per acre. The applicant is requesting approval of a block which will exceed the maximum block length of 1,000'. It is not possible for the applicant to stub to the property to the west (and reduce the length of the block) due to the location of the school directly west of the subject property. The proposed micropath along the southern side of the subject property does, however, break up the block length. Staff supports this request by the applicant to exceed the maximum block length. The block length along the southern edge of the subject property also exceeds 1000' in length. Staff does not support this request to exceed the maximum block length of 1,000'. A second stub street should be constructed along the southern boundary of the subject property to improve counectivity between the proposed subdivision and the properties to the south. The Planned Development application includes requests to allow reduced development standards including reduced lot sizes, reduced frontages, and a request to exceed the maximum block length of 1000'. The following is a comparison of the City's minimum requirements and the reduced requirements that have been proposed by the applicant: Lot Size- City Requirements (R-8) 4,000 sq. ft. (attached) 6,500 sq. ft. (detached Proposed Lot Sizes 3,910 sq. ft. (attached) 5,000 sq. ft.

The applicant will provide further details on these proposed amenities at the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing. The legal description submitted with the application appears to meet the requirements of the City of Meridian and State Tax Commission and places the parcel contiguous to existing city limits. The subject property is within the Urban Service Planning Area and essential City services are or can be made available to the subject property. RZ-O4-0!4 PP-04.019 CUP-O4-02!
