Broadway Ave., Suite 102 Meridian, Idaho 83642 RE: Goddard Creek Subdivision — Re -zoning, DA Modification, Conditional Use Permit, Comprehensive Plan Change and Preliminary Plat Dear Mr. Hood: Attached for your review and approval is the preliminary plat for the Goddard Creek Subdivision located at 2780 W. McMillan Road. After comments at City Council we have altered the plan to pull the higher density residential element out of the proposal. It was evident from Council that higher density was not favorable. The goal for the project is to have the storage unit element of this project approved. It is understood from the Planning and Zoning. Council, neighbors, and staff that the storage units are favorable The overall parcel is approximately 12 acres with the storage units taking up approximately 7 acres; leaving 5 acres. The current zoning for the property is R-4 — we are requesting that the storage unit area (westerly 7 acres) be rezoned to CC and the remaining 5 acres left as R-4. The current Development Agreement for the subject property entitles the property to L -O. We are requesting the DA to be modified to the above listed zoning. The design team has worked to create a storage unit project that fits well into the existing surrounding neighborhood. Architectural facades as shown in renderings attached in this package are designed with materials, proportions and colors that are attractive and that blend well with the neighborhood. For design and planning purposes, our design team used the Meridian City Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, Pre- application Meetings and Neighborhood Meetings as the policy basis for the design of the Goddard Creek Subdivision. As a result of this planning we ask your approval for the following: • Development Agreement Modification to allow these uses per plans and application in Lochsa Falls Subdivision Development Agreement. • Comprehensive Plan amendment to change land -use designation from Office and HDR to MU -C • Rezoning from existing R-4 to CC and Conditional Use Permit for 7.38 acres for a new self - storage facility. •Rezaaiag-5 acres-for-a-Md4ti-€aRpi4,-4-ple*-Fesid • Preliminary Plat for 12.38 acres per application and plan to-engineers.com Aviation I Transportation I Land Development I Municipal I Water Resources I Surveying Enclosed is a project narrative that details the project and various aspects of our applications.
