Staff has included all ACHD comments and recommended actions as Conditions of Approval in the
attached Exhibit B.
6. AGENCY COMMENTS MEETING On August 12, 2005 staff held an agency comments
meeting. Staff has included all comments and recommended actions as Conditions of Approval from the
meeting attached as Exhibit B.
7. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
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 I)
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.
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.
Breinholt Subdivision
AZ-05-037/PP-05-036

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT, QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
.
Protect existing residential properties ITom incompatible land use development on
adjacent parcels (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action I)
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 6.17 dwelling units per acre.
.
Require street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance
connectivity and better traffic flow (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6)
The street connections provided from Fothergill Pointe Subdivision have been
connected as planned (see ACHD report for details). This subdivision is one of the
last infill development in the near vicinity and will not be required to stub to adjacent
properties as there is no fùrther 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)
There are no distinguishable natural features 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 some open
space for drainage management, riparian revitalization on the South Slough, and
incorporation of the multi-use pathway.
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. The applicant has continued the plans for development and the proposal
meets the agencies expectations with preservation of the waterway and connections to
existing stub streets.
.
.
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 single family residences available to
individual buyers who are seeking a medium-small lot closer to the urban center.
Support infill of random vacant lots in substantially developed, single-family areas at
densities similar to sUlTounding 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 a denser
proposal with standard sized lots, not requiring special circumstances.
.
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
developments that the proposal should be indistinguishable upon build out. Attached
products were utilized in the development of Highgate Subdivision along Meridian
Road immediately north of the site.
Staff finds that the proposed R-8 zoning designation is hannonious with and in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
8. ZONING ORDINANCE
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: Meridian City Code 11-2-1 lists single family residential
dwellings as permitted use in the R-8 zoning district.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone:
R-8 Medium Density Residential District: The purpose of the R-8 district is to permit
the establishment of single. and two-family dwellings at a density not exceeding eight
(8) Dwelling units per acre. This district delineates those areas where such development
has or is likely to occur in accord with the comprehensive plan of the city and is also
designed to permit the conversion of large homes into two.family dwellings in well-
established neighborhoods of comparable land use. Connection to the municipal water
and sewer systems of the city is required.
9. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
1. ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS: Based on the policies and goals contained in the
Comprehensive Plan and the general compliance of the proposed development with the Zoning
Ordinance, staff believes that this is a good location for the proposed townhouse residential
products. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of facts and findings.
1. The annexation legal description submitted with the application (stamped on July 12,
2005 by Craig R. McCullough, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing
corporate boundary of the City of Meridian.

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
2. Any future subdivision, uses and construction on this property shall comply with the City
of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time.
3. That the applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the sewer and water
service extension. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project
will have to be removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517,
when services are available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non-
domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation.
4. That all future development of the subject property shall be constructed in accordance
with City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development. All future uses
shall 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.
2. PRELIMINARY PLAT SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Public Streets and Access:
Connectivity ŒothenÚll Pointe Subdivisions):
The stub streets from Fothergill Pointe Subdivision shall connect from N. Richter, N.
Voyager, and N. Tuscan Avenues. These streets will connect across the proposed Breinholt
Subdivision and provide interconnectivity to each lot. The subdivision is constrained by
previous development in the area and is bound by ACHD policies of inter connectivity. No
direct access to Meridian is approved with this subdivision. .
N. Larchmont Avenue has been stubbed to the north for future access for the parcel north of
the site to take access upon redevelopment. Currently the existing home accesses Meridian
Road at the location of the future multiuse pathway and will be required to be fenced and
marked as to not allow vehicular access. The existing access/gravel driveway shall be
removed with ACHD requirements of no direct Lot access to Meridian Road, as stated on the
plat and reconfigured for pedestrian activity consistent with a multiuse pathway.
2. Landscaping: Staff is generally supportive of the absence of a landscaping design due to
the size of the parcel, however a landscape plan is required prior to final plat sub11Ùssion with
the significant landscaping required for the multiuse pathway. The landscape plan must be
sub11Ùtted with the following considerations: Non-combustible open vision 4' fencing is
required on the border of Lot 20 Block 1 and located along Meridian Road for the multiuse
pathway, the pathway and South Slough, and perimeter fencing shall be designed according
to MCC 12-13 and maintained by the home owners association.
3. Tree Mitigation: There are several large trees on this site that the applicant is proposing
to remove or relocate. Any tree over 4" in caliper that is removed from the property shall be
replaced by installing additional trees, being the equivalent number of caliper inches oftrees
that were removed. Required landscaping trees will not be considered as replacement trees
for those trees that are removed (MCC 12-13.13-3). The applicant should coordinate a tree
protection/mitigation plan with Elroy Huff at the Meridian Park Department.
4. Ditches. Laterals. and Canals: Per MCC 12-4-13, all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals,
exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous to the
Breinholt Subdivision
AZ-05-037/PP-05-036
PAGE 7
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
area being subdivided shall be tiled. Staff is unaware of the official status of the South
Slough; it appears to be maintained by Nampa Meridian Irrigation.
5. Pressure Irrigation: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be
supplied by a year~round source of water (MCC 12-13-8.3). The applicant should be required
to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source. If a surface or well source
is not available, a single-point connection to the culinary water system shall be required. If a
single-point connection is utilized, the developer will be responsible for the payment of
assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer.
An underground, pressurized irrigation system should be installed to all landscape areas per
the approved specifications and in accordance with MCC 12-13-8 and MCC 9-1-28. See Site
Exhibit B below.
6. FencinlZ: The applicant is proposing to construct a minimum of a six foot tall solid fence
around the perimeter of the site. A detailed fencing plan should be submitted upon
application of the final plat (MCC 12-4-1O.F.3). If permanent fencing is not provided,
temporary construction fencing to contain debris must be installed around the perimeter prior
to issuance of a building pennit. All fences should taper down to 3 feet maximum within 20
feet of all right.of-way. All fencing should be installed in accordance with MCC 12-4-10.
7. Existing ResidenceslBuildings All buildings shall be removed prior to final plat.
b. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of AZ-05-037/PP-05-036 for Breinholt
Subdivision as presented in the staff report dated August 24, 2005 based on the Findings of
Fact as listed in Exhibit D and subject to the conditions of approval as listed in Exhibit B as
attached to this report. Staff has prepared findings consistent with this recommendation.

D. Required Findings from Zoning Ordinance
1. ANNEXATION FINDINGS:
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."
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;
See Comprehensive Plans and Policies as listed in the Breinholt Subdivision staff report item #7
above. Staff supports the zoning and finds the proposal 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 of
R-8. Medium Density Residential permits 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 conform 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 perimeter of the site have been approved
for development similar to the proposed subdivision, with single-family residences. Currently
sewer is available in N. Richter Avenue that stubs into this project from Fothergill Pointe
Subdivision.
Based on the ACHD Long Range 2030 proposal, Meridian Road is anticipated to eventually be a
5-lane roadway abutting this site. However, Meridian Road is not currently included within
AClID's Five Year Work Program or in the currently adopted 20-year Capital Improvements
Plan for roadway improvements.
Local Stub Streets are ACHD rights-of-way and provides multiple stub connections to the
property. ACHD and the City of Meridian will require the proposed development connect these
roadways as proposed. The design for N. Larchmont Ave within BreinhoIt Subdivision shall
Breinholt Subdivision
Exhibit D
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
meet the requirements of the turnarounds as approved by the Meridian Fire Depaliment for
approved turnarounds.
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 meets 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, have
attached products, 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
harmonious 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. The applicant has provided an open space/drainage lot and pathway connection
which meets the requirements for development of five acres or more.
The existing character of the area will not change as this is one of the [mal infill developments in
the vicinity, where the parcel north of the site is dependent on the sewer connection being
extended. Staff does not find that the proposed zoning/uses will adversely change the essential
character of area. Staff recommends that the Conunission and Council rely on staff's analysis,
public testimony received and any comments submitted from 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.
Direct access shall not be taken from Meridian Road. Access shall be taken through the stub
streets as designed and directed to Fothergill Pointe Subdivision. This will create additional
traffic, especially construction traffic during build.out for residences of Fothergill Pointe which
could be considered disturbing to residents as arterial road must be taken through their
neighborhood.
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 utilities necessary to serve this proposed
development. Sizing and routing shall be coordinated with the Public Works Department.
Breinholt Subdivision
Exhibit D
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and highway impact
fees.
ACHD has submitted a staff report with site specific and standard conditions as attached in
Exhibit B7
On August 12,2005, 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 Conunission 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 fmds there
will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the 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 oftraffic, 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 inteñerence with traffic on surrounding public streets;
The applicant is proposing to construct one public street extension to the property north of the site
from which will connect with Fothergill Pointe Subdivision further north. ACHD is supportive of
the proposed stub street extensions as previously approved. The landscaping plan will be required
to Meridian Road and the multiuse pathway. If the proposal 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.
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. Staff fmds that the proposed
Breinholt Subdivision
Exhibit D
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
development will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of any natural feature(s) of major
importance if developed under these conditions. Staff finds that the regular maintenance of the
South Slough is beneficial to the City of Meridian as it is currently not in a maintained state.
Staff recommends that the Conunission 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 maj or 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, attached single family housing products are located in Highgate Subdivision.
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 adjacent to the subject
property but the lot sizes should be similar 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 proj ect. In accordance with the findings listed above, staff fmds that annexation and zoning
of this DroDertv 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. The proposed density of 6.17 dwelling units per acre (gross) is in the
recommended dwelling units per acre for the comprehensive designation. 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
"Item 7 above".
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 "Item 7 above" 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 financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
Breinholt Subdivision
Exhibit D
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT, QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
Staff recommends the Conunission and Council rely upon comments from the public service
providers (i.e., police, fire, ACHD, etc.) to determine this finding. (See finding "Item 7 above"
under Annexation and Zoning Analysis above, and the Agency Comments and Conditions at the
end of this report for more detail.)
E.
The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
The existing access for the parcel of record will be required to be vacated and the appropriate
access designed to Meridian Road, but shall be maintained as a multiuse pathway for future
extension along the South Slough. The developer shall provide appropriate temporary turn
around or until the adjacent parcel to the north develops. No lots shall directly take frontage or
access from Meridian Road.
Staff is not aware of any health, safety or environmental problems associated with the
development ofthis subdivision that should be brought to the Councilor Conunission's attention.
ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. Staff recommends that the Conunission 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.

engineers and architects involved with the design of this proj ect 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:
State of Idaho Catalog of Stormwater Best Management Practices For
Idaho Cities and Counties.
Prepared by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, July
1997.
Stormwater Best Management Practices Guidebook.

Dear Planners:
The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten
years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district
are operating over capacity.
Approval ofthe Breinholt Subdivision will have an impact on school enrollments at Chief
Joseph Elementary, Meridian Middle, and Meridian High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house seven (7) elementary aged
children, five (5) middle school aged children, and three (3) senior high aged students.
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.

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 855-4500.
