As noted above, the applicant is proposing to subdivide the subject site into 24 single family
residential lots. Each lot contains a minimum 4,000 square~feet for single-family residential
attached dwellings and 6,500 square-feet for single-family residential detached dwellings (MCC
11-9-1). The 24 proposed building lots range in size from 4,900 square-feet up to 7,976 square-
feet. All housing types are proposed as single-family residential. The applicant is proposing to
develop this site in one phase.

The applicant has requested all of the property be zoned R-8 (Medium Density Residential). The
applicant has indicated a gross density of the proposed subdivision at 4.71 gross dwelling units
per acre. This presented density is in accord with the proposed R-8 zoning district. The survey
submitted for the site area by Briggs Engineering is listed as 5.1 acres, which does not include
Locust Grove Road Right-of-way. The applicant is not requesting any modifications to the
dimensional standards of the requested R-8 zone (e.g., building setbacks, lot size, frontage,
etc.).
The subject property is within the Urban Service Planning Area. The subject applications (AZ
and PP) were submitted concurrently to the Planning & Zoning Department for review. Staff
has provided a detailed analysis and recommended conditions of approval for the
requested annexation and zoning and preliminary plat applications below.
LOCATION
The property is located on the east side of Locust Grove Road 2770 S. Locust Grove Road, in
Section 20, Township 3 North, Range I East
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
North: Single-family homes, zoned R-4 Inglenook Subdivision
South: Single-family homes, zoned R-4 Sherbrook Hollows Subdivision
West: Single-family homes, zoned R-4 Salmon Rapids Subdivision
East: Single-family homes, zoned R-4 Tarawood Subdivision, Eight Mile Creek
Recent developments to the south of this site include an R-8 Subdivision on Victory and Locust
Grove Road (Sageland Subdivision) and other R-8 developments include Rose Creek
Subdivision and Sicily Subdivision Southwest of Victory and Locust Grove Road. The proposed
R-8 subdivision may set the standard for infill development south ofI-84.
OWNERS OF RECORD
The property owner of record is John and Glenda Shipley, 2770 S. Locust Grove Road has
signed an affidavit of legal interest for Beckit Development, Inc to submit the applications
requesting annexation and preliminary plat approval.
ANNEXATION & 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 tenus of the following standards and shall find 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;

In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, 'Medium density' is defined as areas
induding single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre with
the allowances of smaller lots for residential purposes. 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). Although staff
would expect an R-4 zoning designation similar to the sulTounding zone codes the R-8
schedule of bulk and zoning controls allows design criteria that better accommodate the
proposed infill development.. The proposed residential density for this site is 4.71 gross
dwelling units per acre as calculated by the applicant, or 24 units per 5.1 acres.
Staff fmds that the proposed zoning desÜmation. R-8. is harmonious with and in
accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map. which
desÌl:mates the land to be Medium Density Residential. There is a minimum target density
of three dwelling units per acre in the Comprehensive Plan; the proposed gross density of
Windwalker Subdivision is 4.71 dwelling units per acre which is slightly higher than
sulTounding developments but not outside the acceptable tolerance for infill development.
Inglenook 3.35 du/acre - Sageland 3.85 du/acre -Chesterfield 4.63du/acre
The following Comprehensive Plan policies support this proposal:
.
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 1.5 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 (ACHD). 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
suffer 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 designated for medium density
residential 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 opportunities
(Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 10)
The subject property is designated Medium-Density Residential on the Future Land
Use Map which identifies this area as an appropriate area for medium-density
residential development. This proposal meets the Comprehensive Plan definition of
medium-density, with a gross density of 4. 71 dwelling units per acre.
.
Require street colU1ections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance
connectivity and better traffic flow (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6)
.
The two street connections provided from Inglenook and Sherbrook Hollows have
been connected as planned (see ACHD report for details). This subdivision is the last
infill development in the near vicinity and will not be required to stub to adjacent
properties as there is no further development expected at the boundaries of this
development.
Preserve, protect, enhance, and utilize our natural resources in Meridian and
surrounding areas. Preserve and conserve our waterways, wetlands, wildlife habitat,
and other natural resources. (Chapter V, Goal I, Objective A)
The Eight Mile Creek waterway is the only distinguishable natural feature at this
location. Staff feels the open fencing and maintenance free of noxious materials will
enhance the surrounding area. Wetlands, and alternate natural resources are absent
from this site and the subject property has designed the common/open space around
preserving the Eight Mile Creek corridor for wildlife habitat and enhancing the
waterways.
Develop policies and incentives to encourage infill and contiguous development.

(Chapter V Goal I Objective A Action 8)
The applicant has requested a slightly higher density relative to the immediate
vicinity and will be developing smaller lots. common drives, with a unique
neighborhood attractiveness. The project is foreseen as being a retirement
community with 1600-2200 square foot homes, staff has requested elevations be
submitted prior to the Planning Commission Meeting of August 4, 2005 to determine
how the homes would fit in the immediate vicinity. The applicant has continued the
plansfor development and the proposal meets the agencies expectations with
preservation of the waterway and connections to existing stub streets as required by
ACHD. The designed proposal is unique to the neighborhood but stafffeels if
designed correctly the clustered home concept would provide a good alternate home
product for the general vicinity.
Offer a diversity of housing types for a greater range of choice. Encourage quality
housing project for all economic levels in a variety of areas. (Chapter VII Goal V
Objective A)
The anticipated products for the site will be unique single family residences available
to individual buyers who are seeking a low maintenance lot closer to the urban
center. There are no single family attached products in the general vicinity and infill
developments are encouraged to use the ordinance to the fullest extent. The applicant
has not requested a planned development and has designed the proposal within the
constraints ofMCC 11-9-1 schedule of bulk controlfor singlefamily residences.
Staff anticipates a retirement age buyer or a first time home owner who seeks a
smaller, moderately priced, low maintenance home as the target client. These
anticipated future owners would also be harmonious with the larger lot, family
oriented homeowners in Sherbrook Hollows and Inglenook developments. Staff
would encourage the Planning Commission and Council to review the home designs
with building footprints to determine the "fit" of the proposal into the neighborhood.
Support infill of random vacant lots in substantially developed, single-family areas at
densities similar to surrounding development. Increased densities on random vacant
lots should be considered if: Development of uses other than single-family structures
are compatible with surrounding development as it complies with the current
comprehensive plan. (Chapter VII Goal V Objective A Action 10)
The proposed density, size of lots and unique roadway design will allow for an
increase in density for the proposal with smaller lots, not requiring special
considerations within the ordinance and comprehensive plan, see also findings above.
. Apply design and perfonnance standards to infilling development in order to reduce
adverse impacts upon existing adjacent development. (Chapter VII Goal V Objective
A Action 11)
.
Staff does not foresee negative impact on surrounding development outside of the
construction phase. The site has an existing residence which will be removed and the
size, number, and quality of the houses is similar in nature to the surrounding
AZ-O5-030/PP-O5-030
Windwalkcr.AZ.PP.DOC
Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council
July 21,2005 (P&Z Hearing Date)
Page 6
developments that the proposal should be indistinguishable upon build out as an
attractive neighborhood within a neighborhood.
Staff finds that the proposed R-8 zoning designation is hannonious with and in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
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.
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 single-family residential uses are allowed within the requested zoning
district ofR-8. Medium Density Residential pennits the establishment of residential uses
and is designed to protect the integrity of residential development by prohibiting the
intrusion of incompatible nonresidential uses. The accompanying plat demonstrates the
land will be developed with lot sizes, housing types and other dimensional requirements
that confonn to the proposed zoning designation.
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 recent residential developments to the south have been approved for
development similar to the proposed subdivision, with single-family residences.
Development in the area has limited the main trunk sewer capacity. Currently sewer is
available in E. Fireside Court via Inglenook Subdivision. There have been sewer capacity
concerns south of the freeway; however those have involved projects sewering out of
their service area into the Ten Mile Trunk. This project is not sewering out of its service
area and is therefore not contributing to capacity issues.
Based on the ACHD Long Range 2030 proposal, Locust Grove Road is anticipated to
eventually be a three lane roadway abutting this site. However, Locust Grove Road is not
currently included within ACHD's Five Year Work Program or in the currently adopted
20-year Capital Improvements Plan for roadway improvements.
Local Streets Simental Ave. and Fireside Ct. are ACHD rights-of-way and provide stub
connection to the property ACHD and the City of Meridian will require the proposed
development connect these roadways as proposed.

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 requested zoning and proposed density is slightly higher than the
anticipated range for a medium density urban project. Based on the Comprehensive Plan,
staff believes that the existing parcels in the area (south and north and east) have already
developed with similar densities and allowances for alternate products and designs are
encouraged. Staff also finds that the proposed zoning/uses can be designed and
constructed in a manner that will be hannonious with, and appropriate in appearance
with, the existing and intended character of the surrounding area.
The proposal meets the standards ofMCC 12-13-16 Residential Subdivision Open Space
which states that "common space shall equal or exceed five percent of the gross land area
of the subdivision. This requirement shall apply to all single family residential
subdivisions of five acres or more." The applicant has buffered the Eight Mile Creek
with an open space/drainage lot which meets the standards set for open space. Lot 9
Block 1 provides 14,374 sq/ft of open space which is approximately 6% ofthe site.
The existing character of the area will not change as this is one of the final infill
developments in the vicinity. Staff does not find that the proposed zoning or uses will
adversely change the essential character of area. Staff recommends that the Commission
and Council rely on staffs analysis, public testimony received and any comments
submitted ITom any other agencies or departments regarding whether this property should
be annexed as proposed.
F.
Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed residential uses will be hazardous as long as
the conditions outlined in this report are complied with and construction traffic and house
construction is conducted in a manner consistent with City Code.
Access to Locust Grove Road shall be taken through the stub streets as designed. This
will created additional traffic, especially construction traffic during build-out. This
change could be considered disturbing to residents in Inglenook and Sherbrook Hollows
Subdivision for access to Locust Grove Road must be provided through these
neighborhoods.
According to ACHD, E. Horse Creek Street shall be designated "No Parking" which will
create a problem for visitor parking at this location. Further, Meridian Fire will require
the cul-de-sacs to be designed for 90' radius of paved turnaround, inside of curb. This
will require a redraw of the project prior to final plat, if approved.

The common lot listed as Lot 9 Block 1 will require fencing to separate the Eight Mile
Creek from residential uses. The Eight Mile Creek is a steep banked and potentially
hazardous waterway which should be fenced in such a manner as to be non-combustible
" and impede all access to the creek or as required by Nampa Meridian Irrigation District.
The proposed design creates a reduced anticipated rear yard setback for properties in
Inglenook and Sherbrook Hollows subdivisions. (See Preliminary Plat Analysis, F)
Projects such as Hacienda Subdivision have included lots with side to rear yard setbacks.
The Commission and Council should rely on any public testimony (oral and written)
when detennining whether or not the proposed zoning and subsequent uses will be
disturbing or hazardous to the existing or future 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;
The applicant will be responsible for the extension of all sewer and water mains
necessary to serve this proposed development. Sizing and routing shall be coordinated
with the Public Works Department.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and highway
impact fees.
On July 27,2005, ACHD staff will hold tech review on the subject applications. ACHD
has not submitted a staff report with site specific and standard conditions, but Meridian
City staff should have the report prior to the Planning Commission meeting of July 21,
2005 (Agency Comments and Conditions when received will be included with this
report).
On July 1, 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 from agencies/departments,
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.
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, local street
infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The primary public
costs to serve the future residents will be fire, police and school facilities and services.
Staff finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the
AZ-O5.030/PP-O5-030

Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council

proposed zoning and subsequent development will not 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;
Staff finds that the proposed annexation and the development of single-family homes on
this site will not involve uses that will create nuisances that would be detrimental to the
general welfare of the surrounding area.
Staff recognizes the fact that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this
subdivision; however, staff does not believe that the amount generated will be
detrimental to the general welfare of the public. Staff does not anticipate the proposed
annexation and subsequent uses will create excessive traffic, 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;
The applicant is proposing to construct one public street extension into the site from
Inglenook Subdivision and one extension from Sherbrook Hollows Subdivision which
will connect with Locust Grove Road, a minor collector. ACHD is supportive of the
proposed stub street extensions as previously approved. The landscaping should be
designed in a manner to not allow traffic flow directly to Locust Grove Road. If is
designed and constructed as approved by the ACHD and the City, staff does not believe
that the subdivision will create interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets.
However, city staff would propose a design to allow parking on at least one side of the
street and approved by ACHD even if the design is amended to reduce lots.
K.
Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of
major importance; and
There are some mature trees on this property. Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper
that are removed should be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance. Fencing the
Eight Mile Creek along the eastern boundary of the proposal should provide wildlife
and open areas adequate protection from residential uses. Staff finds that the proposed
development will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of any natural feature(s)
of major importance if developed under these conditions.
Staff recommends that the Commission and Council reference any public testimony that
may be presented to determine whether or not the proposed development may destroy
or damage a natural or scenic feature(s) of major 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 R-8 zoning amendment will provide lots that are similar in nature to existing
subdivisions in the near vicinity- 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 applicant is proposing to develop the land
in general compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Staff does not recommend
lot sizes that would be invasive to the properties to the north and south of the subject
property but the lot sizes should be transitional in nature and allow additional residential
densities and product opportunities for the general vicinity. Subdivisions of medium
density have already been approved for development to the south and this is a logical
expansion of the City limits for an infill project. In accordance with the findings listed
above, staff finds that annexation and zoning of this property would be in the best interest
of the City.
PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS
Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In detennining the acceptance of a proposed
subdivision, the Commission and 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 that the proposed application is in substantial compliance with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan. Staff supports the proposed layout as a practical solution to address
the constraints of infill development which has design criteria dictated by previous
developments. Please see Annexation and Zoning Analysis "A".
B.
The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposed development.
(See finding "G" under Annexation and Zoning Analysis for more detail.)
c.
The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, and utilities for the development at their
cost, staff finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital
improvement funds.
D.
The public fmancial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments from the public
service providers (i.e.- police, fire, ACHD, etc.) to detennine this finding. (See finding
"G" under Annexation and Zoning Analysis above, and the Agency Comments and
Conditions at the end ofthis report for more detail.)

E.
The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
The proposed design creates a unique situation for properties in Sherbrook Hollows to the
south of the property and Inglenook to the north of the property. The nonnal rear yard to
rear yard setbacks would be 15 feet each yard. This provides a minimum of 30 feet total
separation from building to building. However the proposed design shows rear yards for
existing development bordering the side yard of the proposed development. This provides
a minimum of only 20 feet total separation from building to building.
Staff is not aware of any health, safety or environmental problems associated with the
development of this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's
attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. Staff recommends that the
Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to
determine whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or
environmental problems of which staff is unaware.
1.
PRELIMINARY PLAT SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Public Streets and Access:
Connectivity (Sherbrook Hollows to lnelenook Subdivisions):
The stub street from Sherbrook Hollows, Simmental Avenue shall connect to E. Horse
Creek Street and again north to Inglenook Subdivision on E. Fireside Court. The
subdivision is constrained by previous development in the area and is bound by ACHD
policies of inter connectivity. No direct access to Locust Grove Road is approved with
this subdivision.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that stonn water be pre-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 stonn 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:
