Request for Preliminary Plat of Three (3) Commercial Building Lots on 1.8 Acres in a Proposed CoG Zone by The Land Group, Inc. (File #PP-O4-041) We have reviewed these submittals and offer the following comments, as conditions of the applicant. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATIONS SUMMARY The applicant, The Land Group, Inc. (David Koga), on behalf of Roger Michener and Lawrence Ross, requests the annexation and zoning of a 1.8-acre parcel, located immediately south of Southern Springs Subdivision No. I, at the northeast corner of Calderwood and Meridian Roads. The parcel is currently zoned RUT in Ada County and they are proposing a CoG zone. Southern Springs #1 to the north is also zoned CoG. The Comprehensive Plan shows this parcel as Commercial. The applicant also requests preliminary plat approval of the 1.8-acre parcel to subdivide the land into three (3) commercial lots. All of the proposed lots are below one (I) acre in size and range ftom 0.44 acre to 0.77 acre. As noted in the draft CC&R's submitted with the application, an Architectural Control Committee would be established as part of the Southern Springs Association that would have design review authority of all buildings. The applicant has worked with staff to provide the 10-foot multi use pathway at the east end of this site. Access points ftom Calderwood Dr. align with the accesses approved for Larkspur to the south. AZ-O4-O30 I PP-O3-O41 Southern Springs No 3.AZ.PP P&Z Commission/Mayor and Council P&Z Hearing Date: December 2, 2004 Page 2 LOCATION The property is located just east of the northeast comer of Calderwood Drive and Meridian Road/SH 69. The parcel is in Section 19, T3N, RIB. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES North - Southern Springs Subdivision No.1, zoned CoG. South - Recently approved Larkspur Subdivision (assisted living facility and offices), zoned R-8 and L-O. East - Running Brook Estates Subdivision, zoned R-4. West - Meridian Road/SH-69 and Elk Run Subdivision, zoned R-8. OWNER OF RECORD The property owner of record is Bradley M. Bengson. Mr. Bengson has provided notarized consent for the subject applications. ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both the P&Z Commission and Council are required "to review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning anIendment in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment. " The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff: "A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a Comprehensive Plan amendment; Staff finds that the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as "Commercial." The Commercial designation is to "provide a full range of commercial and retail to serve area residents and visitors." The applicant has requested a General Commercial (C-G) zone, which complies with the comprehensive plan. Staff finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies to be applicable. "Locate new community commercial areas on arterials or collectors near residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining residential areas." (Chapter VII, Goal I, Obj. B, #5) . "Require screening and buffering of commercial and industrial properties and residential use with transitional zoning." (Chapter VII, Goal IV., Obj. A, #6) . "Permit new. . .commercial. . .developments only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City." (Chapter IV, Goal I, Obj. A, #6) AZ-04-030 I PP-03-041 Southern Springs No 3.AZ.PP P&Z Commission/Mayor and Council P&Z Hearing Date: December 2, 2004 Page 3 B. c. D. E. . "Improve and protect creeks (. . .Ten Mile Creek) throughout commercial, industrial and residential areas." (Chapter V, Goal I, Obj. A, #11) Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the future; Staff does not anticipate that the applicant intends to rezone the subject property in the future. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a residential area tnrning into a commercial area by means of conditional use permits; Staff finds that the proposed development would be allowed within the requested CoG zone, which complies with the future land use map in the Comprehensive Plan. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area; The general vicinity of this project has experienced a rapid change ftom agricultural and low density residential uses to commercial/urban type development in the last three years. The Larkspur project (office and assisted living), Southern Springs No.1 and 2 (commercial) and the widening of Overland Road to five lanes are examples of the increased urbanization in the immediate area. Staff finds a rezone of the proposed property would be compatible with other land use and facility changes in the area. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the essential character of the same area; Staff finds that commercial uses, if designed, constructed and operated in accordance with adopted city ordinances and standards, should be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing character of the vicinity. A buffer between land uses will be required between this project and the existing residence to the east. F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses; Staff finds the majority of future uses on the subject property will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses if all development and landscaping ordinances are exercised. The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony to determine whether the proposed uses will be disturbing or hazardous to the neighboring residential uses. G. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, AZ-O4-0JO ! PP-OJ-041 Southern Spcing, No J.AZ.PP P&Z Commission/Mayor and Council P&Z Hearing Date: December 2, 2004 Page 4 sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide adequately any of such services; Staff finds that Meridian Road and Calderwood Drive have sufficient capacity to handle the additional traffic generated by future development. Sanitary sewer and water are either currently available or under construction to provide service to the area. The Commission and Council should rely upon comments submitted by Meridian Police and Fire Departments to determine serviceability for these services. All other public services and facilities noted above appear to be adequate to service this property. H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community; Staff finds that this development will not cause excessive additional requirements at public cost. The property to be annexed may be served adequately by all essential public facilities and services. Applicant shall be required to extend water and sanitary sewer mains to and through the proposed development, thereby making them available to the adjacent properties. We also find that the annexation and zoning alone will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare. I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors; Staff finds that several of the allowed uses in the C-G zone may involve activities, processes, materials, equipment or conditions that could produce excessive traffic and noise and have other public impacts. However, MCC 11-12-2 and 11-12-3 are intended to prohibit impacts such as noise, glare, vibration, fire hazards, etc. on adjacent properties. J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets; According to ACHD's report, the project is anticipated to generate up to 163 vehicle trips per day (10 existing). No access will be taken directly to SH-69 from this parcel. The project will have cross-access to Southern Springs No.1 for access to Meridian Road. The access points along Calderwood Drive align with the approved accesses for Larkspur Sub to the south, per ACHD requirements. K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major importance; and Staff finds that the annexation alone will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of natural or scenic features. Several existing trees on site may need to be retained or mitigated for. The applicant should be required to meet with the City Arborist to work out this issue. L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the hest interest of the City of Meridian. (Ord. 592, 11-17-1992)" AZ-Q4-030 f PP-OJ-041 Southern Sp,;ngs No 3.AZ.PP P&Z Commission/Mayor and Council P&Z Hearing Date: December 2, 2004 Page 5 Staff finds that the annexation of this property would be in the best interest of the City for reasons described above. ANNEXATION AND ZONING SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS 1. The legal description submitted with the application meets the requirements of the City of Meridian and State Tax Commission and places the parcel contiguous to existing city limits. 2. The subject property is within the Urban Service Planning Area. Essential City services can be made available to the subject property. 3. All future development on said property shall comply with the City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of application. 4. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project wil1 have to be removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517, when services are available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation. PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REOUIREMENTS Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives of this title and at least the following: a. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan; As noted above, staff finds that the subdivision is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, provided the Commission and Council grant the annexation and zoning request. See Annexation and Zoning Analysis item A. b. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development; Staff finds that public services can be made available to accommodate the proposed development. See Annexation and Zoning Analysis item H. c. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program; Staff finds that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital improvement plan. Because the developer is installing sewer, water, utilities and irrigation, the subdivision wil1 not require the expenditure of capital improvement funds. See Annexation and Zoning Analysis item H. d. The public financial capahility of supporting services for the proposed development; AZ-04-OJO I PP-O3-04 J Southern Springs No 3.AZ.PP P&Z Commission/Mayor and Council P&Z Hearing Date: December 2, 2004 Page 6 Staff finds that the development will not require major expenditures for providing supporting services. See Annexation and Zoning Analysis item H. e. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the Commission's attention. Staff finds that there should not be any other health, safety or environmental problems associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Councilor Commission's attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. No hazardous natural features have been identified on the site. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS-PRELIMINARY PLAT 1. Pathwav: The applicant has worked with staff to locate a JO-foot multi use pathway along the eastern portion of the project. Southern Springs #1 is already constructing the Ten Mile Creek pathway along its east boundary. By connecting to the eastern edge of this project, the path will continue out to Calderwood Drive, from which a person could access the continuation of the Ten Mile Creek pathway at the eastern edge of Larkspur to the south. Using the proposed alignment will avoid crossing the existing residence between this project and the Ten Mile Creek. See Condition #1. The proposed pathway alignment encroaches into the 25-foot buffer between land uses on the east boundary. Staff concurs with the proposed alignment provided that all required trees can be accommodated without encroaching over the pathway. 2. Existing Trees: There are many mature existing trees on site. Many will be preserved in the proposed street buffer landscaping. Many more will be removed from the proposed commercial lots upon development, which may require mitigation per Ordinance 12-13-13.

Findings for Consideration Right-ot-way and Street Sections CaldelWood Drive District policy requires 70-feet of right-of-way on collector roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of- way width allows for the construction of a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot wide detached sidewalks and bike lanes. District policy 72-F1 B requires collector roadways to be constructed as a 46-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot detached (or 7-foot attached) concrete sidewalk within 70-feet of right- of-way with parking prohibited on both sides. District policy 72-F1A, 7202.3.2 and 7202.3.5, requires that residential collectors be constructed as 36-foot street sections with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks with no front-on housing. The access restrictions for these street segments should be stated on the final plat. Unless othelWise noted, parking should be prohibited on these street segments. Coordinate the signage Program with District staff. Modification of Policv CaldelWood Drive is classified as a collector roadway. Typically the District requires a standard collector roadway to be constructed as 46-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and sidewalk within 70-feet of right-of-way. CaldelWood Drive currently carries approximately 800 vehicle trips per day. This is one of the last parcels in the area that will add vehicle trips to CaldelWood Drive. Due to the fact that the traffic volumes on CaldelWood Drive are not anticipated to exceed 3,000 vehicle trips per day, staff recommends that the applicant construct CaldelWood Drive as one half of a 36-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalks within 50-feet of right-of-way. By constructing CaldelWood Drive as a 36-foot street section, the District can stripe CaldelWood Drive to provide two 11-foot travel lanes with bike lanes on both sides of the roadway. Parking will be restricted on CaldelWood Drive. The applicant should install signs that restrict parking on CaldelWood Drive. This modification of policy is consistent with previous District action for CaldelWood Drive. 3 2. Driveways Location on Calderwood Drive District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial roadways with a speed limit of 20 to align or offset a minimum of 1 05-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. The applicant is proposing to construct a driveway on Calderwood Drive in alignment with a proposed driveway for Larkspur Subdivision, located approximately 210-feet east of Meridian Road. This proposal meets District policy and should be approved with this application. The applicant is proposing to construct a driveway on Calderwood Drive in alignment with a proposed street for Larkspur Subdivision, located approximately 340-feet east of Meridian Road. This proposal meets District policy and should be approved with this application. Width District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles to a maximum width of 36-feet. Most commercial driveways will be constructed as curb-cut type facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways. The applicant is proposing that the two driveways on Calderwood Drive be constructed as 30-foot wide curb return driveways. This proposal meets District policy and should be approved with this application. Pavina Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.9.1. the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway. 3.
