Subject: Regency at River Valley- Revised
I have reviewed the proposed project for site access with Caleb Hood of the Planning Department. In
order to provide site access to meet the requirements of the International Fire Code three modifications
will have to be done to the proposed plan.
1. A 26' wide emergency access road will have to be provided on the Southeast corner of the
project leading out onto Alleys Way. The primary access and the recommended secondary access point
must be separated by a minimum of 600' on your project. Note: The two access points must be
separated by a minimum distance of % the diagonal measurement. In the case of Regency at River
Valley that measurement is approximately 1200'.
2. For the same reasons as stated above, the project will have to be connected at two points to
public roads to serve the project. One connection point will have to be to Eagle Rd. via River Valley
Street on the West end of the project. A second connection point to the project will have to be from the
intersection of Alleys Way and River Valley, with Alleys Way/Records Drive extending either to the
North to Ustick or to the South to Fairview.
3. Because of concerns associated with congestion on Eagle Rd. the second point of access
mentioned above will have to be provided before the 204 units can be built. The project could be
conditioned to limit construction to 100 units until a second point of access can be placed in service
meeting the requirements as outlined in comment one.

Mr. Silva -
I am checking in with you to see if you have had the opportunity to review our site plan again and reconsider the
fire access issues. We have reviewed the ACHD standards for intersections and I have attached a table
(AASHTO) that shows we would need 250 feet from the proposed intersection to the access point on Alley's
Way. We only have 134 feet of property that fronts Alley's Way. Therefore we cannot comply with the request for
an additional access without violating the standards.
If you have an opinion on this subject, we would greatly appreciate a reply in that we are in town tomorrow
(Thursday). We are trying to meet with staff on Thursday afternoon and your comments would help us in
discussing this matter.
Thank you,
Lars

We recently obtained the revised site plan dated March 11, 2008 for The Regency at River Valley
project. During the P&Z hearing on March 6, 2008 we expressed our concems regarding the
proposed access points on E. River Valley Street (future) and encouraged the commission and
council to require the applicant to coordinate with the southerly neighboring property owner for the
River Valley access points so they appropriately correspond with the development to the south.
Though CenterCal is not currently the owner of the property immediately south of the applicant's
property, there is a likelihood this may occur in the future. Such area was diagramed in our
approved Schematic Master Plan (AZ-07-012). It is our understanding
that strongly
discourages offset driveways, and where offsets are allowed, a minimum of ISO feet 4 om centerline
to centerline be maintained. As you can see from the attached composite diagram neither of these
standards are achieved by the applicant.
We stand ready to coordinate with the applicant to find a workable solution, but wish to bring this
matter to both the staff and commission's attention, so the commission and council approvals of the
Project, if any, may reflect a condition to satisfactorily resolve this matter.
Thank you in advance for your assistance, and should you have any questions or require additional
information please feel free to contact me directly.
Sincerely,
Andrew Wilk vt

Regency at River Valley (revised)
The Commission heard these applications at the public hearing on March 6, 2008. At the meeting
on March 6`h, the applicant decided to withdraw the Variance (VAR-08-001) request for a
temporary access to SH 5REagle Road. At that meeting, the Commission voted to continue the
project until the March 20`h meeting so staff could update the conditions of approval (Staff had
originally included draft conditions of approval because Staff was recommending several
significant changes to the site plan); so the site plan could be revised by the applicant; and so
comments/conditions could be obtained from ACHD. On March 6`h, the maker of the motion for
continuance stated that they would like to see the following changes made to the site plan: 1) Add
an emergency access only driveway to Allys Way; 2) Provide a 10 foot wide multi -use pathway
on the site in accordance with Parks Department comments; and 3) Remove the temporary access
to Eagle Road. The maker of the motion also stated that their recommendation for approval
would be prefaced on the applicant and NA47D reaching an agreement pertaining to the
relocation of the Downey Sublateral. The Commission supported the Variance (VAR-08-002)
request for a reduction in the number of covered parking spaces required. The applicant has
submitted a revised site plan, which staff has reviewed and made modifications to the staff report
accordingly.
Revisions to the site plan are as follows:
• An emergency only access has been added on the east property boundary to Allys Way,
as required by the Fire Department. A gate will be installed across the entry that will only
be accessible by emergency personnel.
• A 5-foot wide landscape buffer has been added along the north property boundary
adjacent to parking, as requested by staff.
• A 10-foot wide meandering multi -use pathway has been added along the future extension
of E. River Valley Road, as required by the Park's Department.
• Bicycle parking has been added to the west side of the clubhouse as requested by Staff.
Structures along the southern boundary are still shown within the easement for the Stokesberry
Lateral; however, the applicant states that NMID is amenable to relocating the easement and
lateral 20' further to the south, in which case the buildings would be outside of the new easement.
The applicant withdrew their request for a variance for a temporary access point to Eagle Road at
the last Commission meeting. Without the request for access to Eagle Road, Staff is supportive of
the annexation of the commercial portion of the property at this time.
A private street application for internal streets has not yet been submitted by the applicant; staff is
requesting that this be submitted prior to the City Council meeting.
Changes to the staff report since the March 6`h version are in bold, italics and underline.
Note: Comments still have not been received from ACHD.
WaltmanlBrownine Plaza
The Commission previously heard the subject applications on February 21, 2008. At that
meeting, the Commission voted to continue the project until tonight's meeting in order to have
sufficient time to obtain comments from ACHD and to give the applicant time to review the
Development Agreement provisions recommended by Staff. The applicant submitted a written
response to the original DA provisions proposed by Staff.` Staff has updated the DA provisions in
Section 10 of the staff report, including some of the requests by the applicant, and has met with
the applicant to discuss these changes. The applicant submitted another written response to the
DA provisions that you should have, based on the updated provisions.
On February 25`h, City and ACHD Staff met with the applicant to discuss traffic issues in this
area. During that meeting the current access limitations and a long-term solution for traffic in
this area were discussed. (A loop frontage road was briefly discussed, but was not considered as
a viable option due to the State's plan for the new westbound on -ramp onto I-84. This new on -
ramp will take a substantial portion of the property due east of the subject site.) ACHD and City
Staff both expressed an interest in having Corporate Drive extended to the north to connect with
SW Yh Avenue. If this connection is made, a viable secondary access to this site will be
established. A solution that ACHD staff offered up to get the CorporatelYh connection made, but
not put the entire burden on the applicant, was to enter into a development agreement with the
developer to establish an extraordinary impact overlay district in this area. If an extraordinary
impact fee area is established, the developer of the subject property, in concert with ACHD,
would build the Corporate Drive extension (and any other "necessary" roadway improvements)
and then be reimbursed through extraordinary impact fees that are generated as buildings are
constructed in this area. Unlike ACHD staff, however, City Staff believes that the Corporate
Drive extension should occur prior to another 8, 000 vehicle trips being added in this area, not
after. City Staff continues to believe that the extension of Corporate Drive to the north, across the
Ten Mile Lateral is a critical roadway improvement in this area that should be constructed
sooner rather than later. Staff is recommending that no more than 75, 000 square feet of gross
building area be allowed before the Corporate/S. W. S`h connection is made. Staff recommends
that the Commission decide what roadway improvements and DA provisions should be included
with this development.
Development Agreement modifications:
• No building permits shall be issued or construction traffic allowed on this site until the
construction related to the Waltman Lane/Meridian Road/Main Street intersection is
completed OR Corporate Drive is extended across the Ten Mile Creek and is connected
to Waltman Lane. (If the extension of Corporate Drive is completed prior to the Waltman
Lane/Meridian Road/Main Street intersection and construction begins on this site, no
construction traffic shall be allowed to use the Waltman Lane/Meridian Road/Main Street
intersection until it is also completed.). Construction traffic for the Durnose of
infrastructure improvements shall be allowed during the construction related to the
Waltman Lane/Meridian Road/Main Street intersection.
• Prior to occupancy of any structure located on this site., the Waltman Lane/Meridian
Road/Main Street intersection shall be completed_ AND Further, up to 75,000 square

Project: Regency at River Valley (AZ-08-003, CUP-08-004)
Location, size of property and existing zoning: The site is located at 2500 N. Eagle Road, approximately
%2 mile north of the Fairview/Eagle intersection on the east side of Eagle Road. The property consists of
12.06 acres and is currently zoned RUT in Ada County.
Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: North: Vacant commercial property, zoned C-G; East: Vacant
commercial property, zoned C-G and single-family residences in Redfeather Estates subdivision, zoned
R-4; South: Vacant property (being zoned C-G for Meridian Town Center), zoned RUT (Ada County);
West: Single-family residence and vacant property, zoned RUT (Ada County); office uses (on the west
side of Eagle Road), zoned L-O; and vacant property, zoned C-G
Comprehensive Plan Designation: Mixed Use - Regional
Applications:
• AZ-08-003 - Annexation and Zoning of 12.06 acres from RUT (Ada County) to R-40 (High
Density Residential) (10.56 acres) and C-C (Community Business) (1.5 acres) zoning districts
• CUP-08-004 - Conditional Use Permit for a multi -family residential development in a proposed
R-40 zoning district
• VAR-08-001 -Variance to UDC 11-3H-4B which prohibits new access points to state highways;
request to allow a temporary access to SH 55/Eagle Road until such time as E. River Valley Road
is constructed
• VAR-08-002 - Variance to UDC Table 11-3C-6 for a reduction in the number of covered parking
spaces required for multi -family dwellings
Project Summary: The applicant is proposing 204 multi -family living units within 9 apartment buildings,
a clubhouse, swimming pool area, a putting green, several gazebos, an entry water feature, pathways,
extensive landscaping, and a playground area. 18% or 1.91 acres of useable open space is provided.
Summary of Proposed Streets and/or Access: Access to the site is proposed from two access points
to/from the future extension of E. River Valley Road, which currently does not exist. A variance for
temporary access to Eagle Road through the property proposed to be zoned C-C is also requested; Staff is
not supportive of the proposed temporary access to Eagle Road. In fact, staff is recommending denial of
both the variance request for access to Eagle Road and the applicant's request to annex the 1.5 acre parcel
proposed for C-C zoning. The applicant is proposing to construct 25' and 26' drive aisles within the
multi -family development; Staff is requesting that the applicant submit a private street application and
that minimum 26-foot wide private streets are provided. The applicant is proposing to construct a segment
of Allys Way on the east boundary of the site in alignment with the existing Allys Way north of the site.
ACHD is requiring a road trust deposit for half of the construction cost of the Allys Way bridge over the
South Slough. An access to Allys Way to the east is not proposed; City Staff is requesting an access
to/from Allys Way be provided.
Off -Street Parking: UDC 11-3C-6 requires multi -family dwellings with 1 bedroom to have 2 parking
spaces per unit, 1 in a covered carport or garage. The site plan shows 48 1-bedroom units. Multi -family
dwellings with more than 1 bedroom are required to have 2 parking spaces per unit in a covered carport or
garage. A total of 360 covered spaces and 48 uncovered spaces are required on the site for a total of 408
spaces. There are 7 garage structures depicted on the plan that contain 6 parking spaces each for a total of
42 enclosed spaces; 253 carport parking spaces are also provided that allow for a total of 295 covered
spaces; and 113 open stalls are provided for a total of 408 parking stalls provided on the site. A variance
is requested for a reduction in the number of covered parking spaces required; the applicant is 65 covered
parking spaces short. Staff is not supportive of the requested parking variance.
Landscaping: Width of street buffer(s): A 35-foot wide buffer is required along Eagle Road/SH 55, an
arterial street; a 20-foot wide buffer is required along Allys Way, a collector street, and a 20-foot wide
buffer will be required along the future E. River Valley Road, a collector street. Street buffer landscaping
shall be installed in accordance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C.
Canals: The South Slough is a natural waterway and will remain open; the Downey Lateral shall be
covered. Per the Comprehensive Plan, the South Slough should be improved and protected with
development of this property. The structures depicted on the site plan along the southern boundary
encroach approximately 12 feet into Nampa Meridian Irrigation District's easement for the Downey
Sublateral. Staff spoke with Steve Earl, Mason & Stanfield, regarding this issue and he stated that the
lateral was going to be relocated 25 feet to the south. If the lateral is relocated, the structures would no
longer be within the easement. At the time of CZC application, the easement should have already been
relocated, OR the structures shall be relocated outside of the easement. The applicant should submit a
letter from NMID prior to Commission action on this project documenting that they are amenable to
relocating the lateral and easement. Further, Staff is concerned that NMID will not allow trees within their
easement, which would create a street buffer with no trees along E. River Valley Road. The applicant
should address tonight how landscaping will be installed along River Valley Road, in relation to a
relocated Downey Sublateral.
Proposed (DRAFT) DA requirements: See staff report, pages 9, 10 &11.
History of Previous Actions:
The following applications were submitted for this property in 2006 and all were denied by the
City Council:
• Annexation and Zoning (AZ-06-035) of 12.06 acres to C-C (Community Business District)
(1.50 acres) and R-40 (High Density Residential) (10.56 acres)
• Conditional Use Permit (CUP-06-022) for a multi -family development consisting of 204
multi -family residential units
• Private Street (PS-06-006) request adjacent to the proposed multi -family units
• Variance (VAR-06-014) request to UDC 11-3C-6A to provide less than the required number
of covered parking stalls for multi -family dwellings
• Variance (VAR-06-015) request to UDC 11-4.3.27133 to provide less than 80 square feet of
private, usable open space for each multi -family dwelling unit
• Variance (VAR-06-016) request to UDC 11-3h-4132 to construct a vehicular access to a state
highway at a location other than a section line road or the half mile mark between sections
Elevations: Yes. There are four different building elevations, plus the clubhouse elevation. The structures
are all proposed to have brick veneer masonry, stucco, stone veneer, and fiberglass -reinforced asphalt
shingles. All of the structures are 2-3 stories in height, have the same architectural design and appearance
but are different in size based on how many units they contain. One single -story clubhouse structure is
also proposed with the same construction materials as the multi -family structures.
Letters of testimony have not been received from any adjacent property owners. Staff has received
revised comments from the Fire Department and the applicant regarding the access point to Ally's
Way to the east.
Staff Recommendation: Staff is recommending several significant changes to the site plan, parking
plan, access plan, and building locations. Staff is also recommending that the C-C zoned area
adjacent to Eagle Road not be annexed at this time. For these reasons, and because comments have
not yet been received from ACHD and ITD, Staff is requesting that the Commission defer action
until a later date to give the applicant time to make revisions to the site plan and landscape plan.
