Annexation and Zoning Findings
According to Meridian City Code (MCC) 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to
Zoning Amendments, both the Planning & Zoning Commission and Council are
required "to review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning
amendment in terms of the following standards and shall fmd 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;
The subject property is currently designated 'Low Density Residential' on the
2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, In Chapter VII of the
Comprehensive Plan, low density is defined as areas including single-family
homes at densities of three dwelling units or less per acre, The gross density ofthe
zoning request is 2.60 dwelling units per acre.
City Council finds the following text policies from the Comprehensive Plan to be
applicable to the proposed zoning amendment (staffs analysis shown in italics
below each policy):
. Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all public
services (Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1)
When the City established its Area of City Impact, it planned to provide City
services to the subject properties. The City of Meridian plans to provide
municipal services to the lands proposed to be annexed in the following
manner:
.
Sanitary sewer and water service will be extended to the project at
the developer's expense.
The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the
Meridian Rural Fire District. Once annexed the lands will be
under the jurisdiction of the Meridian City Fire Department, who
currently shares resource and personnel with the Meridian Rural
Fire Department. Fire and Emergency Medical Services will be
provided by Meridian City Fire Station #3. The subject lands lie
within ],5 miles of the recently opened Meridian City Fire Station
#3 and lie within the Meridian Fire Department's five-minute
response zone.
.
.
The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Ada
County Sheriff's Office, Once annexed the lands will be serviced
by the Meridian Police Department (MPD).
The roadways adjacent to the subject lands are currently owned
and maintained by the Ada County Highway District (A CHD) , This
service will not change,
The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian School
District #2. This service will not change.
The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian Library
District. This service will not change and the Meridian Library
District should suffir no revenue loss as a result of the subject
annexation.
.
.
.
Municipal, fee-supported, services will be provided by the Meridian Building
Department, the Meridian Public Works Department, the Meridian Water
Department, the Meridian Wastewater Department, the Meridian Planning
and Zoning Department, Meridian Utility Billing Services, and Sanitary
Services Company,
.
Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use
development on adjacent parcels (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action
1)
All of the properties adjacent to the subject site are either designated for
residential or public/quasi public uses on the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Map,
.
Support a variety of residential categories (low-, medium-, and high-density
single family, multi-family, townhouses, duplexes, apartments,
condominiums, etc.) for the purpose of providing the City with a range of
affordable housing opportuoities (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action
10)
The subject property is designated Low-Density Residential on the Future
Land Use Map which identifies this area as an appropriate area for low-
density residential development. This proposal meets the Comprehensive
Plan definition of low-density, with a gross density of 2,60 dwelling units per
acre.
.
Require street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to
enhance connectivity and better traffic flow (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A,
Action 6)
One stub street has been provided to large, undeveloped parcel to the north
and one stub street has been provided to the east to the adjacent parcel at the
northwest corner of Locust Grove Road and McMillan Road (see ACHD
report for details).
City Council finds that the proposed R-4 zoning designation is harmonious with
and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
B.
Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
City Council does not anticipate that the applicant plans to rezone the subject
property in the future if the accompanying PP application is approved.
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;
City Council finds that the proposed single-family development is allowed within
the requested R-4 zone.
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;
City Council finds that a substantial portion of the land in the area has been
developed (or approved for development) in a manner similar to the proposed
subdivision, with single-family dwelling units. Saguaro Canyon Subdivision to
the west was approved with a gross density of 3.09 dwelling units per acre.
Havasu Creek Subdivision, to the south, has a gross density of 3,05 dwelling units
per acre (minus the future school site).
There have been no recent street improvements in the area. Locust Grove Road is
not currently scheduled within ACHD's Five Year Work Program or Capital
Improvements Plan (CIP) for roadway widening. McMillan Road is not
scheduled within ACHD's Five Year Work Program, but is included in the
current Capital Improvements Plan. According to the current CIP, McMillan
Road is anticipated to be reconstructed in 2015 to include 3 travel lanes with a 70-
foot right-of-way.
Other urban services, such as water, are near to this site and the applicant should
be able to extend such services to the site. Sanitary sewer service for this
development will be from the future North Slough Trunk - Phase II extension that
is currently scheduled to commence construction in. the fall of 2005. City Council
finds that the subject site is proposed for development in a fashion similar to other
properties in the area.

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;
The existing character of the area will, and is, currently changing. Staff finds that
the proposed R-4 zoning and subsequent residential use proposed with the
concurrent preliminary plat is hannonious and appropriate to the intended
character of the vicinity. If this development is approved as proposed, City
Council finds that it will not significantly change existing character of the area as
noted on the Future Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan,
F.
Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
Due to other existing and proposed uses near the site, City Council finds that the
proposed zoning/uses will be physically hazardous to future or existing uses or
neighbors in the area,
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;
Other urban services, such as wateT, are near this site and the applicant should be
able to extend such services to the site. Sanitary sewer service for this
development will be from the future North Slough Trunk - Phase II extension that
is currently scheduled to commence construction in the fall of2005. The
applicant shall be responsible for the extension of utilities to and through this
proposed development. Sizing and routing shall be coordinated with the Public
Works Department.

with representatives of key service providers to this property, The detailed
comments and conditions from the Fire Department, Police Department, and other
agencies/departments are at the end of this report, This project was heard by the
ACHD Commission on March 2, 2005
Based on the comments received from other agencies/departments, City Council
finds that the public services listed above can be made available to accommodate
the proposed development.

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;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, public
street infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The
primary public costs to serve the future residents will be fire, police, school
facilities and services, City Council finds there will not be excessive additional
requirements at public cost. Staff does not anticipate that the annexation and
zoning will 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;
City Council recognizes that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of a
development on this site; however, staff does not believe that the amount
generated will be detrimental to the general welfare of the public, Traffic
congestion is an ongoing issue for north Meridian, the resolution of which is
beyond the scope of this project. ACHD staff finds that the additional traffic
created by a revised building should not be excessive. City Council finds that
annexation and development in accordance with current city code and the
Comprehensive Plan will not create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or
odors.
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;

from McMillan Road and one public street entrance into the site from Locust
Grove Road, The proposed public street entrance to Locust Grove Road (East
Cedar Hills St.) offsets a previously approved public street entrance into Vienna
Woods by approximately 470 feet (measured centerline to centerline). City
Council finds that the subdivision will not create interference with traffic on the
surrounding public streets.
Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
City Council is not aware of any natural or scenic features that may be lost,
damaged or destroyed with the approval of the subject applications, The North
Slough does bisect the property and is proposed to be piped underground,
However, this facility is not considered to be a feature of "major importance" for
the community, Staff recommends that the Commission and Council reference
any public testimony that may be presented to determine whether or not the
proposed development may result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural
or scenic feature(s) of importance of which staff is unaware. Any existing trees
larger than 4" caliper that are removed should be mitigated for, per the Landscape
Ordinance.
