RE: Annexation / Cedarbrook Subdivision / 4185 S Linder Road / H-2020-0012
Bill,
The City of Meridian has requested feedback regarding the annexation of 118.6
acres at 4185 S. Linder Road for the proposed Cedarbrook Subdivision, which
will include 330 single-family homes. Ada County is in support of the application
due to the proximity of the site to public services and infrastructure. The site will
be within close proximity to sewer and water as it is located directly west of the
previously approved Brundage Estates Subdivision, and future residents will have
nearby access to existing parks, schools, commercial services and employment
opportunities.
The application is in compliance with the Ada County Comprehensive Plan as
Goal 2.2f encourages residential development to occur at urban densities within
Areas of City Impact where urban public facilities are available. The proposed
pedestrian connections to Linder Road and to the properties to the north, south and
west comply with Goal 4.7a, which supports the creation of a safe network of
pedestrian and bicycle pathways connecting neighborhoods with parks, schools,
open spaces and commercial areas.
The subdivision is supported by the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, as adopted by
the County, as it designates the property as Medium Density Residential. The
proposed internal pathway system and sidewalk connection to Linder Road is
supported by Goal 2.01.01A, which calls for new development to encourage
walking, and the proposed stub streets to the north, south and west comply with
Goals 3.03.03B and 3.03.03C, which encourage pedestrian and roadway
connections between subdivisions to promote greater connectivity. The proposal
to provide over 20 acres of open space that will include a pool, sport court and
playgrounds among other amenities, is supported by Goal 3.07.02F, which calls
for common areas to be provided within subdivisions, and with Goal 2.01.01B,
which encourages opportunities for physical activities to be provided.
