Staff is concerned about the potential effects of high groundwater in the proposed

ceases and waterways are tiled. However, every year a number of homeowners
contact the Public Works Department regarding water in their crawl spaces in
developments that have been completely built out. Applicant's engineer will be
required to submit a signed, stamped statement certifying that all street finish
centerline elevations are set a minimum of three feet above the highest established
seasonal high groundwater elevation.

a. All new construction shall be anchored to prevent flotation.
b. All building utility systems, including electrical, heating, ventilation,
plumbing, air conditioning, ductwork and other service facilities shall be
elevated above the BFE or otherwise protected so that floodwaters cannot
enter or accumulate within the system components during flood stage.
c. An adequate drainage system that removes floodwaters from the interior
of the crawl space, within a reasonable time after a flood event shall be
required for all homes with a below grade crawl space. The design of the
drainage plan shall be approved by the public works department prior to
the issuance of a building permit.

Zoning Amendment 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 jàcts 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. "
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis:
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 located in the heart of a Mixed Use/Neighborhood Center
designation on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The 2002
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates approximately half of this
property as 'Mixed Use - Community' with a Neighborhood Center. The purpose
of this designation is "to provide a blend of high-density residential, small-scale
commercial, entertainment, office and open space uses that are geared to serve all
residents within a one to two square mile area. The developments are encouraged
to be designed according to the conceptual neighborhood center plan depicted in
Figure VII-3. The purpose of these centers is to create a centralized, pedestrian-
oriented, identifiable and day-to-day service oriented focal point for neighborhood
districts. The centers should offer an internal circulation system that connects with
adjacent neighborhoods or regional pathway(s). They will also serve as public
transit locations for future park-and-ride lots, bus stops, shuttle bus stops or other
alternative modes of transportation." (See Chapter VII, pg. 95.)
During preliminary discussions with the applicant's representative, City staff
encouraged the applicant to include other, non-residential uses consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan within the development. Although the applicant has included
several of the key concepts of a neighborhood center in the design (short blocks,
interconnectivity, transitional densities, transitional housing types, alleys, gridded
street pattern, open space, etc.), City Council does not believe that the project
fully complies with the intent of a mixed use area as described in the
Comprehensive Plan. After detailed evaluation of the purpose statement. policies.
design standards. and objectives for mixed use areas. Citv Council does not
believe that the original plat complies with the Comprehensive Plan. and is
requiring that the northeast 5-acres be platted as one lot (see below).
City Council recommends that the applicant delay developing the lots north of
Parkstone Street until either the parcel on the east side of Venable Lane develops.
an acceptable market study concludes that additional non-residential uses are not
needed in the northern portion of the City. or two years has passed. City Council
believes that the City should adopt the following course of action regarding
development of the North Parkstone Area. The area north of Parkstone Street
(approximately) should not be allowed to final plat until one of the following
occur: 1) A market analysis is performed to see if non-residential uses can be
supported in this area. If the market analysis determines that non-residential uses
can not be supported, then the applicant should be allowed to plat the area with
residential lots as proposed. If the market analysis determines that additional non-
residential uses can be supported, then the applicant should be required to submit
a new preliminary plat and rezone application for the North Parkstone Area that
includes non-residential use(s) consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2) The
property to the east has been approved for development, thereby providing
collector road access for a non-residential uses. The applicant should be required
to submit a new preliminary plat and rezone application for the North Parkstone
Area that includes non-residential use(s) consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
If within two years of the first final plat being recorded on this property, the
property to the east has not been approved for development and a market study
has not been performed, then the applicant should be allowed to plat the area with
residential lots as proposed.
The remainder portion (the southern half) of the subject site is designated
'Medium Density Residential' on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map.
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. The overall proposed density of 4.13 dwelling units/acre is within the target
density for this area.
City Council also finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies to be
applicable to this application (analysis is in italics below policy):
Mixed Use Area Comp Plan Policies (taken from Chapter VII)
. "All development proposed in these areas will require approval as planned
developments under the Conditional Use Permit application process. In these
locations, the developer has the option to develop either a neighborhood
center in conformance with the City's neighborhood center design ordinance,
or develop a conventional mixed use project"
A CUP application accompanies the annexation and zoning request, which
fulfills the first part of this policy. To date, the City has not adopted a
neighborhood center design ordinance. This application is being processed as
a "conventional mixed use project. " (See next bullet.)
.
"If developing a conventional mixed use project, four specific design elements
must be incorporated into the development: a) street connectivity, b) open
space, c) pathways, and d) density, not below eight (8) dwelling units per
acre."
a) Street Connectivity: The development proposes to connect the
development with Ustick Road with a single public street, Blairmore Way.
There are several other public streets and alleys that are all
interconnected to each other and adjacent parcels.
b) Oven Space: The applicant is proposing to construct a 1,8 acre
neighborhood park and set aside approximately nine percent of the site for
open space. The Comprehensive Plan is not more explicit with regard to
open space, other than it must be provided somewhere within
neighborhood centers.
c) Pathwavs: Two public pathways are called for in this area on the Future
Land Use Map as part of the regional system. One multi-use pathway is
shown along the Five Mile Creek and another is shown along the Creason
Lateral. The multi-use pathway along the Five Mile Creek currently exists
adjacent to this site. The applicant is proposing to construct a 10-foot
wide asphalt path to tie in with the existing path along the Five Mile
Creek A public pedestrian pathway is proposed along the north side of
the Creason Lateral in Salisbury Subdivision. This pathway will connect
to the previously approved pathway along the Creason in Clearbrook
Estates. The applicant is proposing to construct their portion of the
Creason pathway on the south side of the lateral as only 5-foot wide. In
accordance with the Future Land Use Map and the subject finding, City
Council believes that a 10-foot wide multi-use pathway should be
constructed along the Creason Lateral from the east property line to the
west. (See Special Considerations in the Preliminary Plat section for more
discussion.)
d) Densitv: The overall density of this project is 4.13 dwelling units per acre
(gross) (not including accessory dwelling units). The residential portion of
the project that is within the mixed use area is below the 8 dwelling units
per acre target density. Although the density is below the target, most of
the proposed lots are between 4,400 and 6,000 square-feet. City Council is
supportive of the proposed density.
.
"The following standards will serve as guidelines for development of the
neighborhood center areas:
a.
b.
Most blocks are 300' maximum, similar to Old Town.
Larger blocks along arterial streets and for traffic calming.
Neighborhood Center Commercial area is located at the Y2 mile,
not at arterial intersections.
Schools are located mid-section, with frontage along a collector
street.
Interconnected circulation that is convenient for automobiles,
pedestrians, and transit.
c.
d.
e.
f.
g.
h.
Variety of housing choices.
Housing is arranged in a radiating pattern of lessening densities.
Transition between different housing types or densities at alleys.
Residents can access neighborhood commercial services without
being forced onto arterial streets.
Facilitates more efficient transportation along arterials.
Grid street pattern within the neighborhood allows traffic to
disperse, eases congestion, slows traffic, and is safer for residents.
Connects to and integrates with the larger street and pathway
system.
Reduced right-of-way widths are encouraged.
Open space must be provided.
Unless a Specific Area Plan has been adopted, Neighborhood
Centers must be developed under a Planned Development/CUP
application."

n.
o.
Except for the commercial component (standards He" and Hi" above), City
Council finds that the proposed development generally complies with the
design standards of a neighborhood center.
(See Chapter VII, pgs, 97-98, for the above-mentioned mixed-use policies,)
.
"Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all
public services" (Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action items 1 and 4)
On April 29, 2005, a joint agency and department comments meeting was held
with representatives of key service providers to this property. In that meeting
no deficiencies of public services to serve this property were raised.
.
"Consider "Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A Recommended
Approach" from the National Center for Bicycling and Walking in all land use
decisions." (Chapter VI, Goal II, Obj. A, #3)
This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and walkway
facilities in new construction and reconstruction projects, in a manner that is
safe, accessible and convenient.
.
"Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets."
(Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 2)
The applicant is only proposing one access point to Ustick Road, an arterial
roadway. The location of the proposed Blairmore Way intersection of Ustick
Road meets A CHD 's requirements for location.
.
"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, Goall, Objective A, Action item
11 )
The Five Mile Creek and the Creason Lateral course through this site. The
applicant is proposing to pipe the Creason Lateral. City Council believes that
the creeks should be protected and enhanced by leaving them open and
constructing pathways adjacent to them (see Site Specific Condition #9).
.
"Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportatioh corridors
(setback, vegetation, low walls, benns, etc.)." (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective D, Action item 4)
The applicant is proposing to construct a 25-foot wide landscape berm along
Ustick Road. City Council is supportive of these widths, as long as the entire
buffer lies outside the ultimate right-of-way, and the sidewalk is located
outside of the 25-foot wide buffer (or increase buffer to 30-feet). See Site
Specifìc Condition #12 in the Preliminary Plat section.
Citv Council finds that except for the northeast portion of the subject
development. the project 2enerallv conforms to the purpose statements and intent
of the Comprehensive Plan. City Council also finds that the proposed uses
(sinr!le-familv homes and a potential davcare) will be 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;
If the concurrent preliminary plat and conditional use permit applications are
approved, City Council does not believe that the applicant intends to rezone the
property in the future. However, City Council recommends that approximately 5-
acres of the site be held out from being final platted so the City can further
analyze if future commercial/office/entertainment uses, as called for in the
Comprehensive Plan, are appropriate in this area. Once there is a residential
housing base established in this area that can support non-residential uses, this
area may be rezoned to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan (non-
residential).
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 could be allowed
within the requested R-8 zone, if the accompanying Conditional Use Permit for a
Planned Development is also approved. Because the potential day care lies within
E,
a mixed use area on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, a CUP will
be required in the future.
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 to the south, southeast and
southwest have been developed (or approved for development) in a manner
similar to the proposed subdivision, with single-family dwelling units. Meridian
Park, Meadowview and Waterbury Park, all have lot sizes similar to the detached
lots proposed in Crossfield.
There have been no recent street improvements in the area. Further, Ustick Road
is not currently scheduled within ACHD's Five Year Work Program and is not
within the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for roadway widening.
This development is currently serviceable by the City of Meridian's sanitary
sewer system. Sewer service for this development will be via extension of trunk
lines located in this property and also mains that are currently under construction
in Ustick road. Water is available in Ustick Road. Other urban services 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 has submitted 17 pictures of how the proposed single-family homes
will look. The pictures of the alley loaded homes and patio homes differ from the
design of existing residences in this area. However, if the homes are constructed
in substantial compliance with the submitted pictures, City Council believes the
homes will be harmonious and appropriate in appearance to the existing and
intended residential stock in this area. The existing character of the area will, and
is, currently changing. This development will set the tone for how the rest of the
area on the south side of Ustick Road designated for a mixed use neighborhood
center develops, or does not develop. City Council finds that if the northeast
portion of this site is not developed with single-familv detached units at this time.
the proposed R-8 zoning and subsequent residential use proposed with the
concurrent preliminary plat will be harmonious and appropriate to the intended
character of the vicinity. However. if this development is approved as proposed.
City Council finds that it will significantly change not only the existing character
of the area, but will also change the intended character of the vicinity, 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 does not
anticipate that the proposed zoning or uses will be physically hazardous to future
or existing uses or neighbors in the area. City Council recommends that the
Commission and Council rely on City Council analysis, comments from other
agencies, and public testimony to determine whether the proposed use will be
disturbing or hazardous to the existing neighboring uses and future expected uses
in this vicinity.
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;
Sewer service for this development will be via extension of trunk lines located in
this property and also mains that are currently under construction in Ustick road.
Water is available in Ustick Road. Other urban services are near to this site and
the applicant should be able to extend such services to the site. 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.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and
highway impact fees as well as construct on-site storm water drainage facilities.
This item was approved by the ACHD Commission on May 18,2005. No
significant changes were made to the plat by the ACHD; all internal roads are
required to be a minimum of36 feet wide.
On April 29, 2005, a joint agency and department comments meeting was held
with representatives of key service providers to this property. Several comments
were received from multiple departments. The detailed comments and conditions
from the Fire Department, Police Department, and other agencies and departments
are at the end of this report. Based on the comments received from other agencies
and departments, City Council finds that the public services listed above can be
made available to accommodate the proposed development. The Commission and
Council reference any and all written and/or verbal testimony submitted by any
public service provider, regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
J,
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 and this development will not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community.
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;
The most recent traffic count for Ustick Road west of Meridian Road is 10,800
ADT. A traffic impact study was prepared by Washington Group International for
this development. This traffic study anticipates that 1,923 vehicle trips per day
will be generated at full build out. Based on the traffic study, left and right turn
lanes on Ustick Road are warranted near the Blairmore Way entrance into the
development. City Council recognizes that traffic and noise will increase with the
approval of a development on this site; however, City Council does not believe
that the amount generated will be detrimental to the general welfare of the public.
Further, City Council does not anticipate that annexation and development in
accordance with current city code and the Comprehensive Plan will create
excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. City Council further finds that if
all of this property were to develop with only single-family dwellings before a
market study can analyze the appropriateness of non-residential in this area, the
proposed residential zoning and uses may be detrimental to people, property
and/or the general welfare of the area. However, if the property east of Blairmore
Way and north of Parkstone Street (approximately) is not developed right away,
the subject applications should not adversely affect any person or property.
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 Ustick Road. The proposed public street entrance to Ustick Road (Blairmore
Way) offsets Venable Lane by approximately 600-feet. If the public streets and
alleys are approved and constructed in accordance with ACHD and the City's
policies, City Council does not believe that the subdivision will create
interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets. Please review any
comments from ACHD for this project for additional information regarding this
finding.
L,
K,
Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
City Council finds that there are some large existing trees on this site. Any
existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, as
determined by the City Arborist (MCC 12-13-13). The applicant should work
with the City Arborist, Elroy Huff, on designing and implementing a
protection/mitigation 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.
The applicant is proposing to leave the Five Mile Creek open and is proposing to
pipe the Creason Lateral abutting the site. City Council believes that the Five Mile
Creek and the Creason Lateral are scenic features that should be protected.
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 or mitigated and the Five Mile Creek and Creason Lateratare
protected in manner that does not negatively impact their beauty. City Council is
not aware of any other natural or scenic feature(s) that would be lost, damaged or
destroyed by allowing this site to be annexed, zoned and developed with
residential uses.
Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian, (Ord. 592, 11-17-1992)?
In accordance with the findinf!s listed above. City Council finds that the
annexation and zoning of this property would be in the best interest of the City.

Meridian City Code (MCC) 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the
acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the
objectives ofthis title and at least the following:
A,
The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development
Plan;
Please see Zoning Amendment Findings "A".
B,
The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed
development;
Please see Zoning Amendment Findings "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, staff finds that a development on this property will not
require the expenditure of capital improvement funds.
D,
The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
The development will not require major expenditures for providing supporting
services. The Commission and Council rely upon comments submitted from the
public service providers (i.e. police, fire, ACHD, etc.) to determine this finding.
(See finding "G" under Zoning Amendment Findings, and the Agency Comments
and Conditions for more detail.)
E,
The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to
the Commission's attention.
City Council finds that there should not be any health, safety or environmental
problems associated with this subdivision; no hazardous natural features have
been identified on the site. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis.
