The original Preliminary Plat/Site Plan was dated 11/10/04. ACHD required the applicant to add two (2) stub streets to the plan - one to the north and one to the east - and to add a landscape island at the mid-block within Rio Colinas Street. These modifications resulted in the applicant addinf! one (1) detached unit and losinf! one (1) attached unit. Even though the number of common lots increased by one (1), since the number of buildable lots remained the same the City did not require the applicant to re-notice the hearing. (See below for further explanation.) } AZ-04-034, PP-04-043, CUP-O4-052 Hacienda Subdivision. AZ.PP.CUP Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council Transmittal Date: January 18,2005 Page 2 APPLICATIONS SUMMARY The applicant, Doug Jayo, has applied for Annexation and Zoning, Preliminary Plat and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval of a Planned Development (PD) consisting of 125 lots (98 buildable) on 19.63 acres of land generally located on the east side of N. Meridian Road, approximately IAmile south of Chinden Blvd. There is an existing residence with a detached garage and other amenities in the middle of the site. The north boundary of the property abuts approximately 10 acres of undeveloped land owned by the Holy Apostles Catholic Church. The subject property is presently zoned RUT in Ada County and the applicant has requested the entire 19.63 acres be zoned R-8. The CUP/PD application proposes reductions to the R-8 zone dimensional standards (see further description below). The 2002 Future Land Use Map designates all of the property as Medium Density Residential. The preliminary plat application is for 61 single family detached and 37 single family attached residential lots and 28 common lots on 64.48 acres. It is a single phase development. The buildable lots range in size from 2,851 to 10,410 square feet. The common lots include a linear open space lot to accommodate a private pathway through the center block (being extended along the North Slouth), a lot for the clubhouse and pool, a 35-foot street buffer along N. Meridian Road, and several landscaped lots. The total amount of open space (excluding street buffers) is 2.85 acres, or 14.5% of the site. The plat proposes reduced street sections for the majority of the subdivision (except for the entry and Rio Vista Dr.). The gross density of the proposed subdivision is 4.99 dwelling units (du) per acre. No net density was provided in the application. The CUP/PD application includes requests to allow reduced development standards including reduced lot sizes, reduced street frontages, and zero side lot line building lots for townhomes. There are three (3) different types of townhouse structures - 4-attached, 5-attached and 6- attached. MCC l2-4-6.D.1. allows only one zero-lot line interior side yard per lot. Since the applicant is proposing two zero-lot lines on several lots, the CUP/PD is required. No use exceptions or other reductions are proposed. (See chart below for a comparison and summary of the proposed reductions and allowances.) Min. Lot Size- Citv Requirement (R-8) 6,500 sq. ft. per lot Proposed Lot Size 2,850 sq. ft. per lot (attached units only) Lot Frontage- Citv Requirement 65' minimum Proposed Minimum Frontage 30' minimum Zero Lot Lines- Citv Requirement I per lot (max.) Proposed StandaTd 2 per lot The applicant has proposed the following amenities as part of the PD: 14.5% open space, a clubhouse with restrooms, and a swimming pool. AZ-O4-034, PP-1J4-043, CUP-O4-052 Hacienda Subdivision AZ.PP.CUP Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council Transmittal Date: January 18, 200S Page 3 There aTe three (3) planned stub streets shown on the revised preliminaTY plat. The development's only frontage on an existing roadway is Meridian Road (approx. 1,330 feet). The applicant is proposing to construct two new public streets off Meridian Road (Rio Vista and Rio PalmaTa) to serve the project. The ACHD Commission is scheduled to hear the subject application at their 1/19/0S meeting. The application states that a Transportation Impact Study was to be prepaTed by Washington Group International. However, to date, it was not submitted to the City of Meridian. There aTe two (2) corrections to the application of which the Commission and Council should be aWaTe: a. The Preliminary Plat application (Item #IS.f) states there aTe multi-family dwelling units within the project. However, only single family units aTe proposed. b. The Preliminary Plat application (Item #IS.g) states a IS-foot front yard setback is a "special set back requirement" for the project. However, MCC 11-9-1 allows IS-foot front YaTd setbacks for living aTeas outright, by code. Staff has provided a detailed analysis and recommended conditions of approval for the requested annexation/rezone, preliminary plat and conditional use permit applications below. We aTe recommending approval of all three applications with conditions. CURRENT OWNERS OF RECORD Mr. Michael Adkins is the current property owner of record and he has submitted an affidavit of legal interest to allow Doug Jayo to submit the subject applications. LOCATION The current property address is 6000 N. Meridian Road. It is located within the NW 'Aof Section 30, T4N, RIE, the square mile bordered by Chinden Blvd, Meridian, Locust Grove and McMillan Roads. The land is designated as "Medium Density Residential" on the Future Land Use Map of the 2002 Comprehensive Plan. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES North: An undeveloped, 10-acre paTcel of land owned by the Holy Apostles Catholic Church, zoned RUT (Ada Co.). South: A 20-acre paTcel with an existing single family residence, barn and small grazing/ranching operation, zoned RUT (Ada Co.) East: SaguaTo Canyon Estates Subdivision (unconstructed phases), zoned R-4 (Meridian) and a lot in Blythe Estates Subdivision (a large lot, Ada County subdivision). West: Several single family residences on I +/- acre lots, zoned RUT (Ada Co.). Future Paramount Subdivision phases, zoned R-40, C-G and L-O (Meridian) AZ-O4-034. PP-O4-O43, CUP-O4-052 Hacienda Subdivision AZ.PP.CUP Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council Transmittal Date: January 18, 200S Page 4 ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS According to Ordinance l1-lS-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both the P&Z Commission and Council aTe required "to review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning 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 standaTds 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 requested zoning designation, R-8, is hannonious with and in accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which designates the land to be Medium Density Residential. There is a minimum taTget density of three (3) du/acre in the Comprehensive Plan and Hacienda's gross density is 4.99 du/acre. The Future Land Use Map shows a potential public paTk site, regional pathway, and future school site in this section. A 10- foot wide regional path was recently approved in SaguaTo Canyon and Ventana Subdivisions to the south and east. Also, Joint School District No.2 has purchased a 41 acre site in the section (two parcels to the south) and they aTe not pursuing any further land acquisitions in Section 30 at this time (according to Wendell Bigham, Facilities Director). P&Z Department staff is not aware of any efforts the Meridian PaTks & Recreation Department is undertaking to acquire land within this section for a public paTk. The Comprehensive Plan contains policies which encourage development to be phased in accordance with their comIection to the sewer system (see policy #8, page 108) and similaT policies aimed at controlling growth. The paTcel is planned to be served with the North South Trunk, which is not yet constructed to Meridian Road. The Public Works Department has been coordinating with property owners to the west and south on the extension and alignment of the trunk line. Paramount Subdivision is currently constructing the sanitaTY sewer and will stub to Meridian Road. Below aTe some of the 2002 Comprehensive Plan policies which generally support the annexation request (Staff analysis is shown in italics). The application also lists several other policies which support the annexation: "Promote the design of attractive roadway entrywaYaTeas throughout Meridian that will cleaTly identify the community." (Ch. V, Goal III, Obj. B. #7) Ventana is proposing a 35-foot wide landscape buffer lot on Meridian Road with a substantial amount of new landscaping and hardscaping therein. AZ-O4-034, PP--o4-043, CUP-O4-052 Hacienda Subdivision AZ.PP.CUP Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council Transmittal Date: January 18, 200S Page S "New development should not rely on cul-de-sacs since they provide poor fire access, walkability and neighborhood social life. New development and streets should be designed to encourage walking and bicycling." (Ch. VI, Bullet #2, pg. 71) There are no new cul-de-sacs planned within the development. "Coordinate with irrigation districts to provide multiple use of existing irrigation easements." (Ch. VII, Goal III, Obj. B, #3) The applicant is proposing a pathway facility adjacent to the North Slough Lateral through the majority of the project. They are also proposing to keep the facility open as an amenity to the subdivision, which staff supports. "Require usable open space to be incorporated into new residential subdivision plats." (Ch. VII, Goal IV, Obj. C, #3) 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. This is only the fourth urban-scale development and annexation application in Section 30, T4N, RIE. Upon extension of the North Slough Trunk into this sqUaTe mile, additional rezone requests aTe anticipated. 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 single family residential subdivision would be allowed within the requested zoning district of R-8, with a Planned Development to allow the reduced frontages, reduced lot sizes and zero lot lines. 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; Staff finds that the land to the east and south has been recently annexed and approved for single-family residential lots in SaguaTo Canyon and Ventana. Subdivisions. SaguaTo Canyon has a gross density of 3.29 d.u./acre. PaTamount Subdivision was annexed in 2003 and land immediately west of Ventana is zoned for professional office and single family uses. LaTkwood Subdivision east of Saguaro has lot sizes that run approximately 2 acres each. The proposed density-4.99 d.u./acre gross-is higher than both SaguaTo Canyon and Ventana yet is within the allowable 3-8 units per acre targeted by the Comprehensive Plan. Thus staff finds that surrounding developments aTe mixed AZ-O4-034, PP-O4-043, CUP-O4-052 Hacienda Subdivision AZ.PP.CUP Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council Transmittal Date: January 18, 200S Page 6 densities--either the same or less, but the proposed density is within the anticipated range for a medium density project. ACHD has also reviewed the adjacent street capacity and has approved the proposed subdivision (with conditions). Meridian Road (between Chinden and McMillan) is not programmed within ACHD's Five Year Work Program. McMillan Road is in ACHD's Capital Improvement Program and is anticipated to be reconstructed in 2018. The property is designed to sewer into a portion of the North Slough Trunk that is not yet constructed. E. 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 the proposed single family residential use will change the existing rural chaTacter of the subject property. There is an estate-type property south of Hacienda Subdivision. However, according to public testimony issued at the Ventana Subdivision City Council heaTings, the owner is expected to redevelop in the near future. The intended chaTacter of the vicinity is a mix of urban and suburban scale developments on a generally gridded street system with a focus on single faTnily and multi-family housing at 3 to 8 d.u.lacre. The proposed use is compatible with the Future Land Use Map. The design and density conforms to most of the Comprehensive Plan policies. F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses; The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony (oral and written) to determine whether or not the proposed uses will be disturbing or hazardous to the existing or future neighboring uses. Staff does not anticipate that the proposed residential uses will be hazaTdous. However, staff finds that the new residences may be disruptive to existing agricultural practices to the north. It should be noted, however, that the Commission and Council made this finding in the affirmative during the SaguaTo Canyon and Ventana Subdivision heaTings for the same rural properties. 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, 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 the property to be annexed will or can be served adequately by most essential public facilities and services if all conditions of approval are met by the applicant. The applicant shall be required to extend sanitary sewer and water mains to and through the proposed development, thereby making them available to the adjacent AZ-O4-034, PP-O4-043, CUP-O4-052 Hacienda Subdivision AZ.PP.CUP Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council Transmittal Date: January 18, 200S Page 7 properties. The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay paTk and highway impact fees as well as construct on-site stormwater drainage facilities. Please review ACHD, Police and the Fire Department's comments concerning this subdivision for further information regaTding public services and facilities. 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 there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost for public services and facilities, if the applicant complies with the conditions of approval for the accompanying conditional use permit and preliminary plat applications. 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 recognizes that traffic and noise will increase significantly upon build-out of the proposed subdivision. The Commission and Council should refer to the ACHD staff report for specific details on traffic impacts. The traffic engineer for Ventana Subdivision determined that, even at project build-out in 2009, Meridian Road will function at an LOS C or better. Staff does not feel that the amount generated will be detrimental to the public welfaTe if all City and ACHD conditions of approval are met. Staff finds that the proposed subdivision will not involve uses that would create other nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfaTe ofthe surrounding area. 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; Staff finds that the subdivision's two vehiculaT approaches off of Meridian Road aTe aligned with existing property lines on the west side of Meridian Road and comply with the turn lane and intersection control conditions imposed by ACHD. The other proposed roadways will need to be improved in compliance with ACHD requirements in order to alleviate interference with the existing and proposed intersections. We do find that. as proposed. the Rio Colinas Street stub to the east is shown as a 32-foot wide street section. The standaTd public street section is 36 feet. Upon future redevelopment of the PaTcel in Blythe Estates Subdivision (to east). this four (4) foot discrepancv mav create an interference with future traffic. Staff is recommending this street be designed to a standaTd 36-foot section in this aTea. The Commission and Council should review ACHD comments concerning vehiculaT approaches and traffic generation. The ACHD Commission has approved the Ventana Subdivision preliminary plat application. AZ-04-034, PP-Q4-043, CUP-04-O52 Hacienda Subdivision AZ.PP.CUP Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council Transmittal Date: January 18, 200S Page 8 K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major importance; and Staff finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or damaged by approving the annexation and re-zone. The North Slough does bisect the property and is proposed to be piped underground for short segments through the project. However, this facility is not considered to be a feature of "major importance" for the community. Any existing trees laTger than 4" caliper that aTe removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance. L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of Meridian. (Ord. 592,11-17-1992)? Staff finds that sewer, water, irrigation, solid waste, library, fire and street services are available to the site. Existing elementary school capacity remains an important but undetermined factor for this subdivision. The school district has stated in the past (for other North Meridian developments) that additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation and residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school. Both Havasu Creek and Paramount Subdivision have been approved for new elementary schools, although neither of these sites has a construction date at this time. Long-range plaIming in the North Meridian area has been underway since 2001. This area is a part of the North Meridian Area Plan. The proposed use and density generally comply with this plan. Staff [rods that the annexation of this property is largely in the best interest of the City. ANEXATION AND ZONING COMMENTS I. The legal description submitted with the application (stamped by Clinton W. Hansen on 11- 08-04) appeals to meet the requirements of the City of Meridian and State Tax Commission and places the paTcel contiguous to existing city limits. 2. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section S- 7-S17, when services aTe available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation. 3. All irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous to the paTcel shall be tiled per City Ordinance 12-4-13. Plans will need to be approved by the appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral users association (ditch owners), with written approval or non-approval submitted to the Public Works Department. If lateral users association approval can't be obtained, plans will be reviewed and approved by the Meridian City Engineer prior to final plat signature. AZ-O4-034, PP-{)4-043, CUP-O4-052 Hacienda Subdivision AZ.PP.CUP Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council Transmittal Date: January 18, 200S Page 9 4. Any future subdivision, planned development, uses and construction shall comply with the City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time. PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REOUIREMENTS Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-S 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; Staff finds the subdivision to be in substantial conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, as noted in Finding "A" under Annexation and Zoning above. b. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development; As noted under Findings G and L under "Annexation and Zoning," Staff [rods that public services are available to accommodate the proposed development c. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program; The proposed subdivision would not create any more additional requirements or demands to the City than other standaTd residential uses. The Public Works Department CIP includes the North Slough Trunk extension, which this property will drain to. The developer will need to construct off-site sewer and water improvements in N. Meridian Road, in accordance with the Master Facility Plan. d. The public fmancial capability of supporting services for the proposed development; Staff finds that the development will require public expenditures for extending the North Slough Trunk. Specifically, the Public Works must enter into a contract with a private firm to acquire easements, design and construct the line. The funding for this extension is budgeted in the FY04 budget, with a preliminary estimated schedule of construction completion by June 200S. e. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the Commission's attention. Other than previously noted, staff does not find any other health, safety or environmental problems associated with this subdivision that need to be brought to the Councilor Commission's attention. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - PRELIMINARY PLAT AZ-O4-034, PP-Q4-043, CUP-04-052 Hacienda Subdivision AZ.PP.CUP Planning & Zoning CommissionlMayor & City Council Transmittal Date: January 18, 2005 Page 10 A. ClaTification of North Slough Easement: The Preliminary Plat does not call-out/label an easement for the N. Slough Lateral. However, the legal description map submitted with the Annexation application notes a 40-foot wide easement claimed by the North Slough Lateral User's Association. In addition, Settler's Irrigation District claimed a prescriptive, 40-foot easement for this facility in Ventana Subdivision to the south. Who holds and/or claims the easement - the User's Association or Settler's J.D.? Will the easement width change where the slough is piped? Will trees be permitted within the easement? The applicant will need to claTifv these outstanding easement issues at the P&Z Commission heaTing. B. Gravitv Irrigation Pipe Location: A gravity irrigation line is shown on Lot 13, Block 6, which appeals to be extended to the future SaguaTo Canyon Subdivision. However, the approved plat for SaguaTo Canyon does not have an irrigation line in this location. The applicant should claTify the location of this line and, if a relocation is necessary, reflect the correct location on the revised Preliminary Plat. C. North Stub Street Location: As noted above, ACHD required a new stub street to the north property line. Staff agrees with this addition. In fact, MCC 12-4-5 prohibits block lengths in excess of 1,000 feet - which this new stub street rectifies. However, staff believes the stub street would be better placed at the mid-block rather than at the west end where it is currently shown, especially if the paTcel to the north develops as a residential subdivision. Our opinion would likely change if the paTcel developed as a church paTking lot or other non-residential use. We recommend the applicant be prepaTed to address this issue at the P&Z Commission heaTing. D. Street Section Widths: The Preliminary Plat proposes reduced street sections (32 feet) for all streets except Rio Vista Dr. and the first 530 feet of Rio PalmaTa St. east of Meridian Road. The Meridian Fire Department requires paTking on only one side of the street for all sections below 33 feet. There will be no on-street paTking on either side of Lot 1, Block 9 (the island in Rio Colinas St.) or in front of Lots 16-19, Block 5 and Lots 18-22, Block 6. The aPDlicant should claTifv for the record whv reduced street sections aTe being proposed. As noted under AZ Finding J, staff does not support the 32-foot street section on Rio Colinas Street at the eastern boundary stub due to potential future conflicts as Blythe Estates Subdivision redevelops. We recommend Rio Colinas be constructed as a 36-foot street section. E. Townhouse Drivewav Locations: No common driveways aTe currently identified for the eight (8) townhouse buildings on the south and east boundaTies. Each townhouse will have a two (2) CaT gaTage, including a 20-foot wide driveway. The townhouse elevation submitted with the CUPIPD application appeals to show common driveways for two (2) units. Staff does not support sepaTated, individual driveways for each townhouse lot and we recommend common driveways be designated on the plat for Blocks 6 and 7. F. Club House PaTking Lot: Lot 24, Block 5 is currently proposed as an off-street paTking lot for the club house. It is situated between two single family detached homes and across the street from two (2) townhomes. Staff questions the location of this lot and the potential negative AZ-O4-034, PP-O4-043, CUP-O4-O52 Hacienda Subdivision AZ.PP.CUP Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council Transmittal Date: January 18, 200S Page II impacts on the adjacent residents. Lot 2, Block S is the only building lot on the east side of Rio Vista Drive and is located between two common lots. We recommend the applicant consider shifting the location of the club house paTking lot to Lot 2, Block S and request the applicant address this issue at the P&Z Commission hearing.
