ITom 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
connectivity 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 ITontages, 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)

40' minimum (attached)
Proposed Frontage
50' minimum (detached)
34' minimum (attached)
Block length- 1,000'
1,300'
The applicant has proposed the following amenities to fulfill the requirement of the Planned
Development Ordinance: 3.69 acres of common area (12.3% of gross land area) which will
include playground equipment and picnic areas in the proposed 1.28 acre and 1 acre parks. 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 ofthe 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.

subdivisions with R-8 zoning, are located directly north and east of the subject property) similar
to the proposed subdivision. Staff finds that the requested zoning designation of R-8 is

to the north as Medium Density Residential, property to the east as Medium Density Residential
and properties to the south as Medium Density Residential

character of the area. See note D above.

facilities and services. Applicant shall be required to extend water and sanitary sewer mains to

Large development proposals that are likely to generate significant traffic should
be assessed for their impact on the transportation system and surrounding land
uses. They should be examined for ways to encourage all forms of transportation
such as transit, walking, and cycling.
New development should not rely on cul-de-sacs since they provide poor fire
access, walkability, ans neighborhood social life. New development and streets
should be designed to encourage walking and bicycling
Provide for a wide diversity of housing types (single-family, modular, mobile
homes and multi-family arrangements) and choices between ownership and rental
