APPLICATIONS SUMMARY
The Land Group, Inc., has applied for Annexation and Zoning (AZ), Preliminary Plat (PP) and
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval for a Planned Development (PD) on 4.7 acres of land located
on the east side of Eagle Road and on the south side of Falcon Drive, approximately 675 feet south of
Victory Raad. The subject site is within the Urban Service Planning Area and the current City of Area
Impact. This site currently has asingle-family home that is to remain. The property is designated "Low
Density Residential" on the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and is currently zoned
RUT in Ada County.
The Applicant proposes to zone the entire 4.7 acres from RUT to R-8. The proposed preliminary plat
subdivides the property into two buildable lots, one lot for the 5 retirement homes and clubhouse (Lot
1) and one lot for the existing single-family home (Lot 2). The CUP/PD application includes a request
for 5 retirement home buildings with each building containing 15 beds, a community clubhouse, and a
flower bed/gazebo area. The retirement home buildings are proposed as single-story buildings housing

14 bedrooms (one bedroom is double occupancy), an oversized kitchen, and laundry facilities. Each
building contains a garage and nearby surface parking. Housekeeping and family-style dining services
are provided to the residents; nursing care is not provided, as the residents will be capable of self
preservation.
As mentioned above, the subject preliminary plat proposes two lots. Both lots conform to the
dimensional standards of the R-8 zone. The applicant is proposing two driveways from Falcon Drive to
serve the subdivision, one driveway far the retirement homes and one driveway for the single-family
home. No access to Eagle Road is proposed. The applicant is proposing to develop the site in two
phases. Phase I includes two retirement homes and the clubhouse near Falcon Drive. Phase II includes
the three retirement homes near the south and east sides of the property.
A CUP/PD application is required because retirement homes require CUP approval in the requested R-
8zone. Zn addition, the applicant has requested to construct multiple buildings (six) on a single lot. The
applicant is not requesting any other deviations from any City established dimensional standards.
The proposed PD amenities include: 10% of the site being preserved for open space and recreational
uses; a flower bed; and, a gazebo area. A future clubhouse is also shown on the submitted site plan.
See Annexation and Zoning Analysis and the Conditional Use Permit section below for fiu-ther
analysis of the proposed amenities and open space.
Staff has provided a detailed analysis and recommended conditions of approval for the requested
annexation and zoning, preliminary plat and conditional use permit applications below. Staff is
recommending approval of the applications, with the conditions outlined in this report.

ANNEXATION AND 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 zoning amendment in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate
evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment."
Because the analysis below applies both to the proposed use and the proposed zoning districts, the
analysis of use has been combined with the annexation and zoning amendment findings.
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;
Staff finds the 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the subject property
as "Low Density Residential." The purpose of this designation is "to allow for the development
of single-family homes at densities of three dwelling units or less per acre... Density bonuses
xnay also be considered with the provision of public amenities such as open space, pathways, or
land dedicated for public services." (See Chapter VII, pg. 95.) The applicant has submitted a
letter listing several Comprehensive Plan policies that support the proposed applications.
The requested R-8 zone is a medium density residential zone. The Comprehensive Plan allows
one "step" (i.e. low to medium) in densities/zoning without requiring a Comprehensive Plan
amendment. The applicant is requesting the one step up in density because retirement homes
are not permitted in low density zoning districts; the R-8 zone is the first available zone to
operate retirement homes. Staff finds that if the City allows this parcel to step up one
residential zoning district, the requested R-8 zoning will generally conform to this stated
purpose and intent of the low density designation, as allowed by Note #2 on the Future Land
Use Map.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the future;
If the concurrent preliminary plat and conditional use permit applications are approved, staff
does not believe that the applicant intends to rezone the 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;
The applicant calls the proposed buildings "assisted living" facilities, which are undefined in
MCC 11-2-2, but listed as a condition use in MCC 11-8-1. "Retirement Homes", listed as a
conditional use in MCC 11-8-1, but undefined in MCC 11-2-2, have generally been defined by
staff as being independent living areas with residents capable ofself-preservation.
Housekeeping and family-style dining services will be provided to the residents of this
community, but the residents will require minimum assistance (see Applicant's letter). Staff
believes that this will be anon-convalescent facility with residents capable of self care.

Although retirement homes, nursing homes, and assisted living all require conditional use
permit approval in the requested R-$ zone, based on the applicant's letter staff has determined
the proposed development to be a retirement home. Therefore, the concurrent CUF application
must be approved for the development to proceed. The existing single-family home on the
proposed Lot 2 is allowed in the requested R-$ 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;
Within the last couple of years, this area has substantially changed. Messina Village, Tuscany
Lakes, Soda Springs and Sutherland Farms Subdivisions have all begun constructing homes on
what was once agricultural land. Further, Kingsbridge Subdivision was also recently approved
for residential development along Eagle Road in this section. Eagle Road was widened between.
Overland and the Ridenbaugh Canal recently, approximately 3/ of a mile to the north. Falcon
Drive has been constructed as a local street abutting the site. Eagle Road adjacent to this site
not been widened in the recent past, but the Eagle Road/Victory Road intersection is scheduled
for improvements in 2006. The majority of the land uses in the area are still rural with low to
medium residential densities. Although the proposed use is not really similar to any of the other
uses in the area, staff believes that the proposed zoning for a retirement community seems to be
appropriate for this site and should be compatible with other land uses in the area.
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;
The applicant will be required to construct, operate and maintain the future buildings in
accordance with City Code. According to the Future Land Use Map, this area is intended for
low density residential uses. Staff finds that the proposed uses, if designed, constructed and
operated in accordance with adopted city ordinances and the PP and CUP conditions of
approval, should be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing and intended
character of the vicinity.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring
uses;
Staff finds that the proposed units far the elderly should be compatible with, and compliments
the existing single-family residences to the north, south, east and west. The Commission and
Council shall rely on public testimony to determine whether the proposed uses will be
disturbing or hazardous to the neighboring uses.
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;

Sanitary sewer is available in Eagle Road past the southern boundary of this project. Water is
available in Eagle Raad far the entire frontage of this property.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay any applicable park and
highway impact fees as well as construct on-site storm water drainage facilities.
On July 1, 2005, a joint agency and department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. Based on the joint meeting and other
comments received from agencies anddepartments, staff finds that the public services listed
above can be made available to accommodate the proposed development. The Commission and
Council should reference any written and/or verbal testimony submitted by any public service
provider, regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
Staff finds that the subject property can be served adequately by all essential public facilities
and City services.
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;
The Meridian Fire Department has commented that developments for the elderly may have the
potential for more services than typical single-family residential developments. As noted in the
finding above, all public facilities and services can be provided to this site. All required site
improvements will be funded and constructed by the applicant/developer. Staff finds that the
proposed use will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community, nor will the
use create the need for any new facilities or services to be paid far by the public.
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 the proposed uses will create additional traffic an the adjacent roads. Further,
the parking and maneuvering of cars and pedestrians may generate additional noise for
surrounding properties. However, staff does not believe that the additional traffic and noise
should be excessive. Staff finds that the proposed use will not involve activities or processes,
materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons,
property, or general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes,
glare or odors, if all conditions included in the report are complied with.
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 any future use of this site will impact the level and flow of traffic on the
surrounding streets. Access to this site is proposed via two driveways to Falcon Drive, a local
street. One driveway will serve the existing home, and the second driveway will serve the
retirement community. No access to Eagle Raad is proposed. The applicant should comply with

ACRD policies in order to preserve the capacity and movement an the adjacent roadways. Staff
finds that the proposed vehicular approaches to Falcon Drive, should not create interference
with traffic on surrounding public streets (Please see ACHD report for more information).
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major
importance; and
Staff is not aware of any natural or scenic features that maybe lost, damaged or destroyed with
the approval of the subject applications. 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.
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 Fox Land Surveys, Znc.,
shows that the property is contiguous to the existing corporate boundary of the City of
Meridian. Staff finds that all essential services are available or will be provided by the
developer to the subject property and will not require unreasonable expenditure of public funds.
The application substantially complies with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use
Map. The land to the southwest of the subject property has previously been annexed into the
City and this is a logical expansion of the City boundary. In accordance with the findings listed
above stoff finds that the rezone of this property would be in the best interest of the City:
NOTE: Staff has not included a requirement for a Development Agreement on this site. All
conditions for developing this property are provided with the Preliminary Plat and Conditional
Use Permit.
ANNEXATION AND ZONING FACTS & ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. The legal description submitted with the application (dated 5-13-OS, stamped by Timothy J. Fox,
PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate boundary of the City of Meridian
and is approved.
2. Any future subdivision, uses and construction on this property shall comply with the City of
Meridian ordinances in effect at the time.

Please see Annexation and Zoning Analysis "G".
C. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program;
Because the developer will be required to install sewer, water, and utilities for the development
at their cost, the Commission finds that a development on this property will not require the
expenditure of capital improvement funds.
D. The public fmancial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
See Finding "G" under Annexation and Zoning Analysis, and the Agency CornYnents and
Conditions.
E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that n-ay be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff finds that there should not be any health, safety or environmental problems associated
with this subdivision that should be brought to the Council's attention.; no hazardous natural
features have been identified on the site. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS PRELIMINARY PLAT
1. Land Use Buffers: MCC 12-13-12 requires landscape buffers between different land uses. Per
MCC 12-13-12-4, a 20-foot wide landscape buffer is required between single-family homes

12-2 requires the land use buffer to be provided by the higher intensity use and to be located on
the building site of the higher intensity use, unless the adjacent and higher intensity use has not
provided the buffer. The applicant is proposing to construct 20-foot wide buffers to the south
and east, but only a 12-foot wide buffer is proposed internally between the retirement
community and the existing single-family home. The applicant should be required to construct
a 20-foot wide buffer along the south property line, the east property line adjacent to the
retirement homes, and along the north property line of Lot 1 that is adjacent to Lot 2. Said

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed conditional use in terms of the following and may approve a conditional use permit if
they find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3):
A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open spaces,
parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by this ordinance;
The retirement home use requires a minimum of one parking stall for every 5 beds in the
facility, or 15 stalls total (for 75 beds)(MCC 11-13-S.B). The site plan depicts 51 stalls being
provided on the retirement home lot. The minimum required off street parking ratio is exceeded
for this use.
The applicant is proposing to set aside 10% of the site for open space. See Special
Consideration #2 below for detailed analysis of the open space and amenity requirements.
The applicant is not requesting any deviations to the City's standard building setbacks (yards),
open space requirements, parking, landscaping, or any other features required by ordinance.

Dear Planners:
~~~~
~tiTY of MERI~-A~-
The Meridian Schaal District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten
years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district
are operating aver capacity.
Approval of Maxfield Subdivision will have a significant impact on school enrollments at
Lake Hazel_Elementary, Lake Hazel Middle, and Mountain View High School.
Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation. Residents
cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it may be necessary to bus
students to other schools across the district.
School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is
currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact
on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 888-6701.

B. Findings for Consideration
Eagle Road
Right-of--Way
District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way
allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-fast concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes.
• The applicant should dedicate a total of 48-feet of right-of--way from the centerline of Eagle
Road abutting the entire site.
Sidewalk
District policy requires 7-foot wide attached (or 5-foot detached) concrete sidewalk on all collector
roadways and arterial roadways (7204.7.2).
• The applicant should construct a 5-foot concrete sidewalk on Eagle Road abutting the site.
The sidewalk should be constructed a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of Eagle Road.
Access
• No access points to Eagle Road have been proposed and none have been approved.
2. Falcon Drive
Improvements
District policy 7202.8 and 72-F1A, requires roadways abutting commercial developments to be
constructed as a 40-foot street section with curb, gutter and 5-foot concrete sidewalk within 54-feet of
right-of-way.
• The applicant should.canstruct Falcon Drive as one half of a 40-foot street section with vertical
curb, gutter and a 5-foot detached concrete sidewalk. The applicant is proposing to construct
the sidewalk outside of the right-of--way. The applicant should provide the District with an
easement for the sidewalk that extends outside of the public right-of-way.
Access
District policy F2-F4 (1) and 72-F4 (2), requires driveways located on commercial/industrial roadways
to offset a controlled and/or uncontrolled intersection a minimum of 50-feet (measured near edge to
near edge).
District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways to a maximum width of 35-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.
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 and install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Tt is recommended that storm water bepre-treated prior to discharge to the
subsurface to prevent impact to ground water and surface water quality. The
engineers and architects involved with the design of this project should
obtain current best management practices for storm water disposal and design
a storm water management system that is preventing groundwater and surface
water degradation. Manuals that could be used for guidance are:
State of Idaho Catalog of Stormwater Best Management Practices For
Idaho Cities and Counties.

RE: Land Use Change Application -Maxfield Subdivision
Please note the District now requires three (3) sets of plans
Dear Mr. Bates:
Enclosed please find a Land Use Change Application for your use to file with the Irrigation
District for its review on the above-referenced development. If this development is under a
"rush" to be finalized, I would recommend that you submit a cashier's check, money order or
cash as payment of the fees in order to speed the process up. If you submit a company or
personal check, it must clear the bank before processing the application.
Should this development be planning a pressure urban irrigation system that will be awned,
operated and maintained by the Irrigation District, I strongly urge you to coordinate with John P.
Anderson, Water Superintendent for the Irrigation District, concerning the installation of the
pressure system. Enclosed is a questionnaire that you must fill out and return in order to initiate
the process of contractual agreements between the owner or developer and the Irrigation
District for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the pressure urban irrigation system.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call on me at the District's
office, or John P. Anderson, at the District's shop.
