RE: H-2021-0021 /5150 S Meridian Road/ Prevail North Subdivision
Joseph,
The City of Meridian has requested feedback regarding the proposed annexation and
preliminary plat for the Prevail North Subdivision, which will consist of 19 detached single-
family homes on 5.25 acres at 5150 S. Meridian Road.
Ada County is supportive of the application due to the proximity of the site to existing public
services. Goal 2.2f of the Ada County Comprehensive Plan encourages residential development
to occur at urban densities within Areas of City Impact where public facilities are available. The
application is also compatible with the Future Land Use Map of the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan, as adopted by Ada County, which designates the site as Medium Density
Residential, which is primarily intended for single-family homes at densities of three to eight
dwelling units per acre.
The layout of the development also complies with many of the goals of the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan. The proposal to dedicate over 20%of the site as open space is compatible
with Goal 2.01.01B, which encourages opportunities for physical activity to be provided with
new development, and Goal 3.07.02A, which encourages usable open space to be incorporated
into residential subdivisions.
The road connections proposed to the north, east and south are in compliance by Goal
3.03.03C, which requires street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to
enhance connectivity and improve traffic flow, and the pedestrian connections provided to the
north, south, east and west are compatible with Goal 3.07.02C, which requires pedestrian
access in all new development to link subdivisions together to promote neighborhood
connectivity.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Brent Moore, MCMP, AICP
