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 1)
When the City established its Area of City hnpact, 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 sl!ffer 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
Caymus Cove Subdivision
AZ-05-034/PP-05-033N AR-05-0 14
PAGE 4
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
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 designatedfor 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 3.75 dwelling units per acre.
.
Require street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance connectivity
and better trafíìc flow (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6)
The street connections providedfrom Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision have been connected
as planned (see ACHD report for details). This subdivision is one of the last infill
developments 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 sUITOunding
areas. Preserve and conserve our watelWays, wetlands, wildlife habitat, and other natural
resources. (Chapter V, Goal I, Objective A)
There are no distinguishable natural features at this location. Several minor
canals/waterways are near or border the site but are to be tiled or rerouted during
construction. Wetlands, and alternate natural resources are absent from this site and the
subject property has designed the common/open space around presen;ing some open space
for drainage management.
.
Develop policies and incentives to encourage infill and contiguous development. (Chapter V
Goal I Objective A Action 8)
The applicant has requested a slightly lower density relative to the immediate vicinity and
will be developing larger lots than Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision. The applicant has
continued the plans for development and the proposal meets the agencies expectations with
connections to existing stub streets, similar building types and designs, and providing
adequate sen;ices to the site.
.
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 medium-large lot closer to the urban center.
.
Support infill of random vacant lots in substantially developed, single-family areas at
Caymus Cove Subdivision
AZ-05-034/PP-05-033N AR-05-014
PAGE 5
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTrONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
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 a less dense
proposal with larger lots..
.
Apply design and performance 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 remain 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.
Staff finds that the proposed R-8 zoning designation is harmonious 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 ofthe 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 Single Family 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 1, 2005
by Clinton Hansen, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate
boundary of the City of Meridian.
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,
Caymus Cove Subdivision
AZ-05-034/PP-05-033N AR-O5-014
PAGE 6
.-
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
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 Œrid!!e Tower Subdivisions):
The stub street from Bridgetower Subdivision shall COnnect from N. Station Ave. to N.
Station Place and again to the cul-de.sac on N. Station Place. The subdivision is constrained
by previous development in the area and is bolUld by ACHD policies of interconnectivity.
No direct access to McMillan is approved with this subdivision.
Lot 13 Block 1 is for emergency access only and shall be improved as per the Meridian Fire
Department requirements.
Lot 23 Block 1 is for future access for the parcel east of the site to take access to N. Station
Place upon redevelopment. Currently the existing home accesses McMillan Road at this
location and will be required to take access from N. Station Place. The existing access/gravel
driveway shall comply with ACHD requirements of no direct Lot access to McMillan Road,
as stated on the plat.
2. LandscaDing: Staff is generally supportive of the landscaping design with the following
considerations: Non-combustible fencing should be included on the border of the Lemp Canal
located along McMillan Road unless not required by NMID, or the canal is tiled. Perimeter
fencing shall be designed according to MCC 12-13 and maintained by the home owners
association.
Tree Miti!!ation: 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 of trees
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 Parks 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
area being subdivided shall be tiled. Staff is unaware of the official status of the Lemp
Canal; it appears to be maintained by Nampa Meridian Irrigation.
5. Pressure IrrÜ~:ation: 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
Caymus Cove Subdivision

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer.
An underground, pressurized ilTigation 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. Fencing: 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 l2-4-1O.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 permit. All fences should taper down to 3 feet maximum within 20
feet of all right-of-way. AU fencing should be installed in accordance with MCC 12-4-10.
7. Existing Residences/Buildinl!s The site contains multiple buildings. Buildings on Lots 24
and 2S of Block 1 may remain. All other buildings shan be removed prior to final plat.
b. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of AZ-OS-034/PP-OS-033 for Caymus
Cove Subdivision as presented in the staff report dated August 24, 200S 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

D. Required Findings from Zoning Ordinance
1. ANNEXATION FINDINGS:
According to Ordinance II-IS-II, 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 analysi,j' 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 Caymus Cove 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 singlewfamily 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. Station Avenue that stubs into this project from Bridgetower Crossing
Subdivision.
Based on the ACHD Long Range 2030 proposal, McMillan Road is anticipated to eventually be a
3.lane roadway abutting this site. However, McMillan Road is not cuaently included within
AClID's Five Year Work Program or in the currently adopted 20-year Capital Improvements
Plan for roadway improvements.
Local Street of N. Station Avenue is an ACHD rights-of-way and provides a stub connection to
the property. AClID and the City of Meridian will require the proposed development connect
these roadways as proposed. The design for N. Station Place within Caymus Cove Subdivision
shall meet the requirements of the turnarounds as approved by the Meridian Fire Department.
Caymus Cove Subdivision
Exhibit D
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
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 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 of MCC 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 provided an open space/drainage lot 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 final infill developments in
the vicinity. Staff does not find that the proposed zoning/uses will adversely change the essential
character of area. Staff recommends that the Commission 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 McMillan Road. Access shall be taken through the stub
streets as designed and directed to Bridgetower Crossing Subdivision. This will create additional
traffic, especially construction traffic during build-out for residences of Bridgetower Crossing
which could be considered disturbing to residents as arterial road must be taken through their
neighborhood.
Furthermore, a secondary/emergency access is shown with a connection through the existing
parcels easement across the McMillan fronting property, north of the proposed development due
to the length of the cul-de-sac.
The Commission and Council should rely on any public testimony (oral and written) when
determining 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;
Caymus Cove Subdivision
Exhibit D
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
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.
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, 200S, 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 fmancing 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 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 intenerence with traffic on surrounding public streets;
The applicant is proposing to construct one public street extension into the site from Bridgetower
Subdivision which will connect with Linder Road, a minor collector. ACHD is supportive of the
proposed stub street extensions as previously approved. The landscaping plan will be required to
McMillan 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.
K.
Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major
importance; and
Caymus Cove Subdivision
Exhibit D
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
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 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 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 project. In accordance with the findings listed above,
staff finds that annexation and zoninll of this orooertv 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 determining 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 3.75 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;
Caymus Cove Subdivision
Exhibit D
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
Staff recommends the Commission 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.
Lots 24 and 25 of Block I contain the existing home site and significant outbuildings for the
parcel of record. Along with the parcel of record is the recorded easement for ingress egress to
McMillan Road. The easement for the parcel of record will not be required to be vacated, but
shall be maintained as ingress egress for the adjacent parcel. The developer shall provide
appropriate temporary signage/bollards as to the designation of the existing driveway easement or
until the adjacent parcel to the east develops. No lots shall directly take frontage or access from
McMillan Road.
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.

years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district
are operating over capacity.
Approval of the Cavrnus Cove Subdivision will have a significant impact on school
enrollments at Ponderosa Elementary. Sawtooth Middle. and Eagle High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house eight (8) elementary aged
children, seven (7) middle school aged children, and six (6) 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.

School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is
cuITently 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.
Sincerely,
