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.1, at the northeast comer of Calderwood and Meridian Roads. The parcel is currently
zoned RUT in Ada County and they are proposing a C-G 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 from 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 stafIto provide the lO-foot multi use pathway at the east end of this
site. Access points from Calderwood Dr. align with the accesses approved for Larkspur to the south.

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 wning amendment 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 II-IS-II 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 "Commercia!." 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. . .commercia!. . .developments only where urban services canbe reasonably
provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City." (Chapter
IV, Goal I, Obj. A, #6)

.
"Improve and protect creeks (. . .Ten Mile Creek) throughout commercial, industrial and
residential areas." (Chapter Y, Goal I, Obj. A, #11)
B.
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.
c.
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 turning 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.
D.
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 from 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 ofthe 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.
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.
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-04-030 I PP-03-041
Southern Springs No 3.AZ.PP
P&Z CommissionlMayor 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 cons1ruction to provide service to the area. The Commission and
Council should rely upon comments submitted by Meridian Police and Fire Departments to
detennine 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. I 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 best interest of the City of Meridian. (Ord. 592,
11-17-1992)"

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

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 inigation, the subdivision will not require the
expenditure of capital improvement funds. See Annexation and Zoning Analysis item H.
d. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;

Staff frods 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 IO-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-at-way and Street Sections
Calderwood 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 otherwise
noted. parking should be prohibited on these street segments. Coordinate the signage Program with
District staff.
Modification of Policy
Calderwood 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. Calderwood 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 Calderwood Drive. Due to
the fact that the traffic volumes on Calderwood Drive are not anticipated to exceed 3.000 vehicle trips
per day. staff recommends that the applicant construct Calderwood 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 Calderwood Drive as a 36-foot street section. the District can stripe Calderwood Drive
to provide two 11-foot trayellanes with bike lanes on both sides of the roadway. Parking will be
restricted on Calderwood Drive. The applicant should install signs that restrict parking on
Calderwood Drive. This modification of policy is consistent with previous District action for
Calderwood Drive.

Driveways
Location on CaldelWood 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 3D-foot
wide curb return driveways. This proposal meets District policy and should be approved with this
application.
PavinCl
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.

RE:
Southern Springs Phase 3 - Supplemental Traffic Analysis
Dear David:
Dobie Engineering, Inc. prepared a traffic impact study (TIS) in May of 2003 for the
Southern Springs Commercial development on Meridian Road south of Overland
Road. A supplemental analysis to that TIS was prepared to evaluate the traffic
impacts from the additional development of Southern Springs No.2, an office and
retail development northeast of the main site with access to Overland Road. This
second supplement will consider the traffic impacts of Phase 3, a 1.8 acre parcel
south of the main site with access to Calderwood Drive.
Trip Generation
The Phase 3 site plan includes 3 retail pads with approximately 12.000 sq. ft. of
specialty retail building area.
The following trip rates for Specialty Retail (#814) land uses are recommended in the
latest edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual (Seventh Edition).

This analysis indicates that an acceptable level of service can be achieved with a
signalized intersection.
Projected Traffic
The total projected traffic volumes for the year 2007 including the site traffic from the
Southern Springs commercial development are summarized as follows:
Roadway No. Lanes
Meridian Rd. 5
Calderwood Dr. 2
ADT
38.000
LOS
E
7.000
c
Wrth the construction of a signalized intersection at Calderwood Drive plus planned
improvements to the regional transportation system, sufficient capacity will be
available to accommodate full build out of Southern Springs commercial traffic as
well as growth and development projected for this area of the community.
Please call me if you have any questions or need additional information.
