CALL (208) 884-5533 present included: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Police Department, Meridian Parks Department, Meridian Public Works Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. Staff has included all comments and recommended actions as Conditions of Approval in the attached Exhibit B. 7. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS Staff finds that the proposed zoning designation, R-4, is harmonious with and in accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which designates the land to be Low Density Residential. There is a maximum density of 3 dwelling units per acre in the Comprehensive Plan; the proposed gross density of Bridgetower Subdivision No. 14 is 2.51 dwelling units per acre. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the proposed development (staff analysis in italics below policy): • 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 property. 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 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 Meridian Police Department (MPD). • The roadways adjacent to the subject lands are currently owned and maintained by the Ada County Highway District (ACRD). This service will not change. • The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian School District #2. This service will not change. 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 Department, Meridian Utility Billing Services, and Sanitary Services Company. • Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels (Chapter VII, Goal N, Objective C, Action 1) The applicant is proposing a single family development. The existing residential prnperties to the east, south, and west are compatible with the proposed development. • 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 Low-Density Residential on the Future Land Use Map. The applicant has proposed a density consistent with that designation and has requested an R-4 zone (2.51 d. u./acre). File Numbers To Be Added By Planners PAGE 4 CI'T'Y OF MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533 • Require street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance connectivity and better traffic flow (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6) The applicant is proposing to connect to a stub street to the east, W. San Remo Drive, and connect to an existing street to the west, N. Towerbridge Way. City stuff and ACRD are supportive of the connectivity plan for this area (see ACRD comments and conditions for details). • Review new development for appropriate opportunities to connect to local roads and collectors in adjacent developments. (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 13) See bullet above, Permit new residential, commercial, or industrial developments only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City. (Chapter N Goal II, Objective A) All urban services can be made available to this site. 8. ZONING ORDINANCE a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: Meridian City Code 11-2-1 lists single family detached homes as a permitted use in the R-4 zoning district. b. Purpose Statement of Zone: R-4 Low Density Residential District: Only single-family dwellings, public schools, and public and private parks shall be permitted and no conditional uses shall be permitted except for planned developments. The purpose of the R-4 district is to permit the establishment of low density single-family dwellings, and to delineate those areas where predominantly residential development has, or is likely to occur in accord with the comprehensive plan of the city, and to protect the integrity of residential areas by prohibiting the intrusion of incompatible nonresidential uses. The R-4 district allows for a maximum of four (4) dwelling units per acre and requires connection to the municipal water and sewer systems of the city of Meridian. 9. ANALYSIS a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation PRELIMINARY PLAT: Relationshi of Pre- lot to Planned Develo ment Conce t: The following note (on page 10, Item #12) was included in the Decision and Order Granting the CUP (CUF-O1-006) for Bridgetower Crossing, outlining haw the subject application corresponds to the approved PD application: "This project is approved in concept only. The concept includes: maximum number of residential lots not to exceed 692 (does not include townhouse lots), mixed uses, school site, setbacks, collector roadways, amenities and open space. The applicant recognizes that the approval is in concept only and that detailed approval shall be required by submittal of all appropriate applications, including, but not limited to, ,preliminary plat or plats and conditional use permit or permits. The detailed approval shall be subject to all applicable Ordinances unless otherwise approved under the original Planned Unit Development application. " The applicant has stated that "even with the 11 additional lots in this phase, the fatal number of lots has still been reduced by 91ots." Staff finds that the submitted preliminary plat is in general compliance with the approved Planned Development. Open .Space: The applicant has stated that the proposed subdivision contains 1.4D acres of eligible open space, for a total of 5.86 percent of the development. Staff finds that this number includes Lot 46, Block 15, which is proposed as an existing cemetery surrounded [File Numbers To Be Added By Planners PAGE 5 CITY OF' MERIDIAN PLANNING ANb ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS'? CALL (208) 884-5533 by a sand bottom storm water detention basin, allowed under an existing agreement with the City of Meridian. MCC 12-13-16 states that eligible open space must be "active or passive in its intended. use, and must be accessible by all residents of the subdivision", and staff finds that the sand bottom portion of Lot 46, Block 1.5, does not qualify as eligible open space. Staff finds that in order to comply with Meridian City Code, the applicant must provide additional usable open space which meets the minimum requirement of 5 percent. See Site Specific Condition 1.1.2. b. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of PP-OS-044 for Bridgetower Subdivision No. 14 as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of October 6, 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.

Any other fencing will detract from the overall look of the subdivision. 4.2 The only public areas are the pathways and the cemetery lot which fronts on the collector.
