Zoning Amendment Findings
According to Meridian City Code (MCC) II-IS-II, 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 find adequate evidence answering the
following questions about the proposed zoning amendment, "
Thefollowing is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by City Council:
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;
In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, 'medium density' is defined as areas
including single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per
acre, Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, the
applicant is requesting that all the subject site be zoned R-8 (Medium Density
Residential). The R-8 district allows for a maximum of eight (8) dwelling units
per acre (MCCll-7-2,C). The proposed residential density is 5,75 gross dwelling
units per acre, City Council believes that if an R-8 zone (and associated PP and
CUP applications) is approved, the proposed zoning/density will allow a smooth
transition ITom the multi-family to the west and the single-family to the east.
City Council finds the following Goals, Objectives, and Action items contained in
the 2002 Comprehensive Plan to be applicable to this application (analysis is in
italics below policy):
.
"Require new residential development to meet development standards
regarding landscaping, signage, fences and walls, etc," (Chapter VII, Goal
I, Objective C, Action item 4)
If the applicant complies with the conditions in this report, the
development will meet the standards for landscaping, signage, fences and
walls outlined in City Code,
.
"Encourage infill development in vacant/underdeveloped areas within the
City over fiinge area development to halt the outward progression of
urban development." (Chapter V, Goal I, Objective A)
This parcel is underdeveloped and is considered infill development,
.
"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 opportunities," (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C,
Action item 10)
City Council is supportive of the variety of housing types and density
proposed for this area. The proposed housing types (single-family
attached and detached), adds to the variety of housing opportunities that
currently exist in this area.
.
"Improve and protect creeks (Five Mile, Eight Mile, Nine Mile, Ten Mile,
South Slough, and Jackson and Evans drainages) throughout commercial,
industrial and residential areas," (Chapter V, Goal I, Objective A, Action
item 11)
The applicant is proposing to leave the Eight Mile open abutting this site.
The Eight Mile should be protected during construction of the proposed
development,
.
"Require useable open space to be incorporated into new residential
subdivision plats." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action item 3)
The applicant is proposing to set aside approximately 6 percent of the site
as useable open space,
In addition. in the applicant's letter (from Shawn Nickel) other Comprehensive
Plan policies are listed supporting the annexation and proposed residential use of
the property, City Council finds the overall design of the subdivision is in general
conformance with the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan.
B.
Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
Concurrent with the annexation and zoning application, the applicant has
submitted a preliminary plat and conditional use permit, proposing single-family
lots on the subject site (Lyndhurst Grove Subdivision, PP-05-013 & CUP-O5-
015), City Council does not anticipate that the applicant plans to rezone the
subject property in the future if the accompanying CUP and PP applications are
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;
E.
City Council finds that the proposed single-family uses are allowed within the
requested R-8 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 other properties in the area have been developed in a
manner similar to the proposed subdivision, with single-family dwelling units,
Haven Cove Subdivision, Kelsee Park Subdivision, and Berkeley Square
Subdivision, to name a few in the area, have developed (or are developing)
similar to the proposed project,
Pine Avenue has not been widened recently abutting this site, Pine Avenue in this
area is not currently scheduled within ACHD's Five Year Work Program or
Capital InIprovements Plan (CIP) for roadway widening, Ten Mile Road, from
Cherry Lane to Franklin Road, is currently within ACHD's Five Year Work
Program for construction in 2007, This project includes signalization of the Ten
Mile RoadlPine Avenue intersection, Other urban services, such as sewer and
water, are near to this site and the applicant should be able to extend such services
to the site, City Council finds that the subject site is proposed for development in
a fashion similar to other properties 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;
The applicant is proposing two types of single-family dwellings for this site,
Twelve of the thirty-six proposed dwellings are attached single-family
(townhouse) and twenty-four are detached single-family, City Council finds that
this mix of housing types fits into the existing and anticipated housing stock of
this area, which includes both single-family and multi-family dwellings, City
Council fmds that the requested zoning, proposed residential dwelling types and
the proposed density is consistent with a medium density urban project. Further,
based on the Comprehensive Plan, City Council believes that some of the existing
large county parcels in the area (south) will redevelop with similar densities in the
near future, City Council also finds that the proposed zoning/uses can be designed
and constructed in a manner that will be harmonious with, and appropriate in
appearance with, the existing and intended character of the surrounding area,
The existing character of the area will, and is, currently changing, especially upon
build-out of the proposed project and other similar subdivisions in the general
H.
vicinity, However, City Council does not find that the proposed zoning/uses will
adversely change the essential character of area,
F.
Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
The applicant has submitted sample ITont elevations for the proposed attached and
detached dwelling units. City Council believes that the design of the dwelling
units will be compatible with the adjoining uses, if the buildings are constructed
as shown on the submitted elevations, City Council does not anticipate that the
proposed residential uses will be disturbing or hazardous to existing or future uses
as long as the conditions outlined in this report are complied with and house
construction is conducted in a manner consistent with City Code.
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;
City Council finds that the applicant's engineer has proposed to provide domestic
water service to the site via existing mains adjacent to the project site, however
permanent sanitary sewer service by gravity means is not available at this time,
Applicant proposes to temporarily sewer this project to the private existing lift
station at The Courtyards at Ten-Mile,
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and
highway impact fees.
On April 13, 2005, ACHD approved this development with site-specific and
standard conditions, The applicant should comply with all requirements of the
ACHD. Please review the ACHD report for additional information regarding this
finding,
On March 25, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property, Based on the joint
agency/department meeting and other comments received ITom
agencies/departments, City Council finds that other than sewer, the public
services listed above can be made available to accommodate the proposed
development,
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;
I.
J.
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local
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 and that the proposed annexation and zoning will not
be detrimental to the community's economic welfare,
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;
According to ACHD the proposed project is anticipated to generate 350 additional
vehicle trips per day. City Council recognizes that traffic and noise will increase
with the approval of this subdivision; however, City Council does not believe that
the amount generated will be detrimental to the general welfare of the public, City
Council does not anticipate the proposed annexation and subsequent uses will
create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors, City Council finds that the
proposed residential zoning/uses will not be detrimental to people, property or the
general welfare of the area,
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;
The applicant is proposing to construct one public street entrance into the site
from Pine Avenue (Lyndhurst Avenue) and extend a stub street from the west
(Brougham Drive). The applicant is not proposing to extend Clara Drive from the
north, in Haven Cove Subdivision, Instead of constructing a vehicular crossing of
the Eight Mile Lateral, the applicant is proposing to utilize the existing pedestrian
crossing, City Council is supportive of this proposal, as a vehicular crossing to the
north is being provided with the Sommersby development just to the west. Please
review the ACHD report for this project for additional information regarding this
finding. If the proposed vehicular approaches (streets) are approved and accepted
by ACHD, City Council does not believe that the subdivision will create
interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets,
K.
Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
The applicant is proposing to leave the Eight Mile Lateral open adjacent to the
site, City Council finds that the Eight Mile Lateral is a significant natural feature
that should be protected through standard stormwater and run-off management
practices, City Council also finds that there are some existing trees and other
mature landscaping on this site, Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are
removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance (MCC 12-13-13),
The applicant should work with the City Arborist, Elroy Huff, on designing and
implementing a protection plan, If any trees are deemed to be a hazard, diseased
or dying by the City Arborist, prior to removal, mitigation will not be required for
those trees,
City Council finds that the proposed annexation and zoning should not result in
the loss or damage of any natural or scenic features, as long as the existing trees
are protected/mitigated and the Eight Mile Lateral is protected in manner that
does not negatively impact its beauty,
L.
Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian, (Ord, 592, 11-17-1992)?
The legal description submitted with the application, prepared by LandSolutions,
Inc" shows that the property is contiguous to the existing corporate boundary of
the City of Meridian, The land directiynorth, east and west of the subject property
was previously annexed into the City and this is a logical expansion of the City
boundary, The applicant is proposing to develop the land in substantial
compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan, In accordance with the findings
listed above, Citv Council finds that the annexation/zoning of this propertv would
be in the best interest of the City,
