PAGE 3
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF 1113/2005
and recommended actions as Conditions of Approval in the attached Exhibit B.
8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
Staff finds that the proposed zoninl: designation. R-4. is harmonious with and in accordance with the
2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map. which desÜznates the land to be Low Density
Residential. There is a maximum density of three dwelling units per acre in the Comprehensive Plan; the
proposed gross density of Sunstone Subdivision is 1.97 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 thefollowing 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 Shertff'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 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)
The applicant is proposing a single-family development. The existing residential properties to the
east 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 opportw1ities (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 10)
Sunstone Subdivision AZ-O5-043, PP-O5-045
PAGE 4
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF 11/3/2005
The subject property is designated Low-Density Residential on the Future Land Use Map. The
applicant has proposed a density consistent with the requested R-4 zone (1.97 d.u./acre), and
stalfis supportive of the lot sizes proposed.
.
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 extend stub streets to the west, south, and north to provide access to
the adjacent properties. The applicant is also connecting to Black Cat Road at the eastern
boundary of the project. City staff and ACHD are supportive of the connectivity plan for this
area (see ACHD 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.
.
Require new urban density subdivisions which abut or are proximal to existing low density
residential land uses to provide landscaped screening or transitional densities with larger, more
comparable lot sizes to buffer the interface between urban level densities and rural residential
densities. (Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective D, Action 8)
The applicant has proposed a development with very large lots (one~half acre) on the interior of
the subdivision and some slightly smaller lots (one-third acre) adjacent to Black Cat Road and
the two stubs streets. Staff feels that these lot sizes provide appropriate transitional densities
from the adjacent rural residential properties along El Gato Lane to the southwest. Staff does
anticipate that the properties to the north, west, and south will eventually be developed at
densities similar to those proposed by the applicant.
.
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
IV Goal II, Objective A)
All urban services can be made available to this site.
9. ZONING ORDINANCE
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: Meridian City Code 11-2-1 lists single family detached
homes as pennitted 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 pennit 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.
10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
1. AZIRZ Application: 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
Sunstone Subdivision AZ-O5~O43, PP-O5-045
PAGE 5
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF 1113/2005
single-family residential subdivision. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of
facts and findings.
The annexation legal description submitted with the application (stamped on May 27,
2005 by Dennis Lewis, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing
corporate boundary of the City of Meridian.
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.
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. PP Application:
Open Space: The applicant has stated that the subdivision contains 5.1% of
landscaped open space, meeting the 5% minimum required by Meridian City Code.
The majority of this landscaping is passive in nature and provided in the proposed
parkways between the detached sidewalks and the street in the subdivision. The
applicant has not proposed any large landscaped common lots for active use by the
residents, and none are required by code.
Width of Sidewalks: All sidewalks on W. Grey Towers Street are proposed to be four
feet wide and are detached from the curb. The applicant has also shown four-foot wide
attached sidewalks on the two stub streets provided; however, Meridian City Code
requires that attached sidewalks be five feet in width. The applicant shall increase the
width of all attached sidewalks in the development to five feet and submit revised
plans with the application for final plat.
Street Width: Per the ACHD report, the applicant has proposed 33 foot street sections
from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. The Meridian Fire Department requires a 33 foot
street section from face.of-curb to face-of-curb for parking on both sides of the street.
The applicant shall increase the roadway section to meet Meridian Fire Department
requirements for parking on both sides of the street.
b. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of AZ-05-043 and PP-05-045 for
Sunstone Subdivision, 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.

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF 11/3/2005
D. Required Findings from Zoning Ordinance
1. Annexation and Zoning Findings: The Commission and Council shall 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:
Thefallowing 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 staff report item #8 above. Staff supports the
zoning and finds the proposal in general accord 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 detached single~family residential uses are allowed within the requested zoning
district of R-4. The applicant will be required to meet all dimensional standards of the R-4 zone
and comply with Meridian City Code.
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 fmds that the properties in the general vicinity of the property in question have been
approved for development similar to the proposed subdivision, with single-family residences.
Staff finds that the area is changing and this site is eligible for annexation and zoning.
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 low
density urban project. Staff also fmds 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. This requirement shall apply to all single family residential subdivisions of five
acres or more."
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 staffs analysis, public
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF 11/3/2005
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. 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.
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 October 14, 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 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.
D -2
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF 1113/2005
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;
ACHD is supportive of the proposed streets. 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
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)?
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.
Subdivisions of low density have already been approved for development to the east and this is a
logical expansion of the City limits. ill accordance with the findings listed above, staff finds that
annexation and zoning: of this property would be in the best interest of the City.
2. Preliminary Plat Findings: Sections 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3~5 D read as follows: "ill 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;
Please see Annexation and Zoning Findings Item A above.
B.
The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
Please see Annexation and Zoning Findings Items G and H above.
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,
the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital improvement funds.

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 of the Sunstone Subdivision will have an impact oil school enrollments at
Chaparral Elementary. Meridian Middle. and Meridian High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house seven (7) elementary aged
children, six (6) middle school aged children, and five (5) 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
currently operating b~¥.og~ ~~p~~~~. I::l!:Î.ure .Q~~elqf!m~.QL'Yill co.!!!inu~.!Q..hav~~ impact~ ~ -----~--

B.
Findings for Consideration
1.
Black Cat Road
Right-ot-Way and Improvements
District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way
allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes.
. The applicant should dedicate a total of 48-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Black Cat
Road.
2.
Roadway Offsets
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 300-feet from an
arterial roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
. The applicant is proposing to construct West Grey Towers Street to intersect Black Cat Road
approximately 130-feet north of the south property line. This roadway is proposed to align
with West Grey Towers Street on the east side of Black Cat Road. The applicant's proposal
meets District policy.
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125-feet from
another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
. The internal streets meet or exceed District policy in regard to roadway offsets.
3.
Street Sections
District policy 72-F1A, allows local residential public roads with a 33-foot street section with parking
on both sides of the roadway, if the amount of vehicle trips per day on the street does not exceed
1,000 and the appropriate fire department reviews and approves the street section. The proposed
density of development that will utilize the internal local residential streets is anticipated to generate
less than 1,000 vehicle trips per day.
. The applicant is proposing to construct the internal streets as 33-foot street sections with
rolled curb, gutter and a 5-foot attached concrete sidewalk. This street section meets District
policy. The applicant should submit a letter from the Meridian Fire Department reviewing and
approving the reduced street section.
Stub Streets
District policy 7203.5.1 states that the street design in a proposed development shall cause no undue
hardship to adjoining property. An adequate and convenient access to adjoining property for use in
future development may be required. If a street ends at the development boundary, it shall meet the
requirements of sub section 7205, "non-continuous streets."
District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be required to provide intra-neighborhood circulation
or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the requirements
described in Section 7204.5, 7204.6 and 7204.7, except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required if
the stub street has a length no greater than 150-feet. A sign shall be installed at the terminus of the
stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". In addition, a stub
street must meet the following conditions:
1. A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the street intersection and drain surface
water toward that intersection, unless a satisfactory storm drain system is installed.
2. The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will
remain free of obstructions.
. The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street to the south property line approximately
390-feet west of Black Cat Road. This stub street is anticipated to serve the 5.0-acre parcel
directly to the south. Staff is supportive of the location of the proposed stub street. Due to
the fact that this stub street is greater than 150-feet in depth, the applicant should construct a
temporary turnaround at the terminus of the roadway.
. The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street to the west property line approximately
229-feet north of the south property line. The applicant is proposing to construct a permanent
cul-de-sac turnaround at the terminus of the roadway. This meets District policy and should
be approved with this application.
. The applicant is proposing to construct a stub street to the north property line approximately
215-feet west of Black Cat Road. There is a 4.0-acre parcel to the north. Staff is supportive
of the location of the proposed stub street. Due to the fact that this stub street is greater than
150-feet in depth, the applicant should construct a temporary turnaround at the terminus of the
roadway.
5.
Turnarounds
District policy 7205.2.1 requires turnarounds to be constructed to provide a minimum turning radius of
45-feet. The applicant should also be required to provide a minimum of a 29-foot street section on
either side of any proposed center islands within the turnarounds. The medians should be
constructed a minimum of 4-feet wide to total a minimum of a 100-square foot area.
. The applicant is proposing to construct a cul-de-sac turnaround with a center island at the
terminus of West Grey Towers Street. The applicant should construct the turnaround to
provide a minimum turning radius of 45-feet. The applicant should construct the center island
a minimum of 4-feet wide to total a minimum of a 1 OO-square foot area and should provide a
minimum of a 29-foot street section on either side of the island.
6.
Islands
District policy also requires any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public right-of-way
dedicated by this plat should be awned and maintained by a homeowners association. Notes of this
should be required on the final plat. The design should be reviewed and approved by ACHD's
Development staff.
7.
Driveways
The applicant is proposing to utilize an existing 20-foot wide driveway that intersects Black Cat Road
approximately 50-feet south of the north property line until the property should redevelop or remodel.
This driveway meets District policy and should be approved with this application. If the property
should remodel or redevelop in the future, the applicant will be required to abandon the existing
driveway and take access via the local street.
8.
Other Access
Black Cat Road is classified as a minor arterial. Other than the access points that have specifically
been approved with this application, direct lot access to Black Cat Road is prohibited. A note will be
required on the final plat stating this access restriction.
