1. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The applicants, M & H Development, LLC and ADW, LLC, have applied for Annexation and Zoning
(AZ), Preliminary Plat (PP), and Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Development (CUPIPD)
consisting of 255 building lots and 29 common/other lots on 91.1 acres. The site is located on the west
side of Locust Grove Road, approximately \<í of a mile north of Amity Road. This site is currently rural
residential and is currently improved with three single-family residential buildings and several accessory
buildings. The site has not been previously platted. The subject property is within the Urban Service
Planning Area.
2. SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION
The subject applications (AZ, PP, and CUP/PD) were submitted to the Planning Department for
concunent review. Below, staff has provided a detailed analysis and recommended conditions of
approval for the requested Annexation and Zoning, Preliminary Plat, and Conditional Use Permit
applications. Since the last time this item was on the Commission's agenda. staff has received comments
fi-om the Ada County Highwav District CACHO). The applicant has revised the submitted drawings to
reflect the reQuested changes from ACHD and City staff. The biggest changes are the addition of several
traffic calming measures, and the termination of Radiant Ridge Drive in a cul-de-sac so it no longer
exceeds the maximum block length. The recommendation and conditions of approval listed within the
subject staffreoort are based on the revised drawings for Reflection Ridge.
NOTE: These applications were originally submitted prior to the City adopting the Unified

k. Summary of Proposed Streets and/or Access (private, public, common drive, etc.): The
applicant is proposing one public street access to Locust Grove Road. The applicant is
proposing two stub streets to the large parcel to the northwest (Caven), one stub street to the
25 acre parcel to the southwest, one stub to the 121 acre parcel to the south, one stub street to
the 23 acre parcel to the northeast (across the Ridenbaugh), and as staff requested, one stub
street to the 5 acre parcel to the southeast.
The City did not require a stub street to the subject site from Sicily Subdivision to the north,
and the applicant is requesting to exceed the maximum block length because there is no outlet
for the northern most street (Luminous Way). Except for at the entrance, which contains a
planter, all internal streets are proposed 36-feet wide (measured back of curb to back of curb)
and have detached 5-foot wide sidewalks. All streets will be public and will be constructed,
along with curb, gutter and sidewalks, to the Ada County Highway District's standards. Staff
supports the proposed stub streets. Staff is supportive of the proposed street system.
The applicant win also be constructing two 24-foot wide alleys in Block 4. Homes adjacent to
these alleys will take access to the garage via the alley. Some of the alley-loaded lots do not
have frontage on a public street. Therefore, the alleys win need street signs and addresses for
those homes without street frontage will be provided from the alley. For this reason, staff
recommends that the proposed alleys be constructed as private streets (except for the
sidewalks) as set forth in the UDC 11-3F-4 and have turning radii at the public street of28-
feet (inside) and 48-feet (outside.)
There is an existing private lane, Rumple Lane, that runs from Meridian Road to the northwest
comer of the site. Rumple Lane intersects Meridian Road at the Y, mile. The applicant is
proposing a public stub street, Reflection Ridge Place, in the generally vicinity of Rumple
Lane. It is anticipated that Reflection Ridge Place will be extended to the west to connect with
Meridian Road when the property to the northwest 'Caven) re-develops. To ensure that
Rumple Lane does not exist in perpetuity, but is instead developed as part ofa public road, the
applicant should be required to vacate any interest in Rumple Lane. See Analysis below.
The ACHD is requiring traffic calming devices at the intersection of Reflection Ridge Drive
and West Wrightwood Drive as well as at Reflection Ridge Drive and Northern Lights

traffic calming Bre also being required at the Luminous Wav and Reflection Ridge Drive
intersection. at the Luminous Wav and Shimmering Street intersection, and at the Twilight
Ridge and Memory Ridge Wav intersection. Left and right hand turn lanes are being required
along Locust Grove Road. Widening of Locust Grove Road abutting the site: and construction
of sidewalk along Locust Grove Road are also conditions of ACHD. For a detailed report on
the public streets and access points to public streets, please see the ACHD report, the Analysis
section ofthis report, and Exhibit B.
7. COMMENTS MEETING
On September 30, 2005 Planning staffheld an agency comments meeting. The agencies and
departments prescnt 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.
8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
Approximately 40 of the 91 acres are designated "Medium Den¡¡ity Residential" on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. Medium Density Residential areas are anticipated to
contain between three and eight dwelling units per acre. The remaining 50 acres adjacent to
Locust Grove Road are designated "Low Density Residential" on the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Map. Low density residential areas are anticipated to contain up to three dwellings per
acre. The applicant has submitted individual calculations for the low density and medium density
areas. The 50.5 acres designated for low density residential contains 143 dwelling units for a
gross density of 2.8 dwelling units/acre. The 40 acres designated for medium density residential
contains 112 dwelling units for a gross density of 2.8 dwelling units/acre. Staff finds that the
overall density is within the range for a low to medium density project.
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 I)
When the City established its A rea 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 Rural Fire
District. Once annexed the lands will be tinder 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 a4Jacent 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 sub;ect lands are current~y serviced by the Meridian Library District. This
senJice will not change and the Meridian Librmy District should styler 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 I)
The applicant is proposing a residential development. Staff finds that the existing residential
properties to the north, south and east are compatible with the proposed development. The
Parks Department has looked at redevelopment of the 25:Jlcre !1L1nin>! pit /0 the west and
south for a City Park. The main concerns of the Parks Department with this area being used
for a park are the lack of access to the area because there are steep slopes, and the lack of
visibility into the site. The Parks Department believes they can work around these constraints
and use a large portion of the 25:;pcre prea for a park in this section. The property that
currently has storage facilities (northeast corner of Amity Road and Meridian Road) is
designated for Mixed Use - Regional on the Future Land Use Map. Staff anticipates the
existing mining pit and the storage areas to the west and south will redevelop in the near
future.
.
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,
Objeetive C, Action 10)
.
The subject applications include a request for the R-4 zone and propose only single1'amily
detached units. The applicant is offering a mix of lot sizes and house styles. Some alley-
loaded units as well as front-loaded garage units are proposed. Although the requested zone
does not provide much variety, the proposed Crajìsman and Classic house styles do
contribute to the variety of house styles in the area.
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)
See bullet above. Staffjìnds that the housing types proposed are appropriate for a residential
development in this location.
.
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 provide stub streets to the unplatted parcels to the northwest
(2), south (2), southeast (1) and northeast (1). Staff is supportive of the proposed stub streets.
See Exhibit B below.
.
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 betwecn urban level densities and rural
residential densities. (Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective D, Action 8)
The applicant is providing a landscape btiffer adjacent to the existing 1 and 5 acre parcels to
the south. The applicant has proposed a development in which the single-jamily lots in the
development are adjacent to other single-family lots. Staff recognizes that there are some
existing low density residential land uses to the south and supports the proposed landscaping
and lots adjacent to the existing residences.
.
Pennit 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.
.
Require new residential development to provide permanent perimeter fencing to contain
construction debris on site and prevent windblown debris from entering adjacent agricultural
and other properties. (Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective D, Action 9)
The applicant is not proposing to fence the entire perimeter of the site. If permanent fencing
is not constntcted prior to issuance of building permits, temporary construction fencing
should be installed. See Analysis below for comments regarding the proposed fencing types.
.
Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets. (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective D, Action 2)
Exceptfor Wrightwood Drive, access to Locust Grove Road should be prohibited.
Staff finds that the proposed R-4 zoning designation is generally hannoniolls with and in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.
9. ZONING ORDINANCE
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: Meridian City Code 11-2-] lists single--family dwellings as
permitted uses 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.
c. General Standards: As part ofthe PD, the applicant is requcsting modifications to the
standard lot size, and street fi-ontage requirements of the R-4 zone. The applicant is also
requesting a modification to exceed the maximum block length of 1,000 feet. Other than these
requested dimensional standard modifications, the proposed development substantially
complies with all of the general standards of the Meridian Zoning Ordinance.

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 5, 2006
10. ANALYSIS
a, Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
I. AZ 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 single-family
residential subdivision. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of the required facts
and findings.
The annexation legal description submitted with the application (stamped on August
IS, 2005 by Timothy J. Fox, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing
corporate boundary ofthe City of Meridian.
The applicant wi ] 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 fi-om their domestic service, per City Ordinance
Section 5-7-517, when services are availab]e from the City of Meridian. Wells may be
used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation.
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.
Special Considerations:
Development Agreement: MCC 11-16-4 provides the Planning & Zoning
Commission and City Council the authority to require a property owner to enter
into a Development Agreement with the City of Meridian that may require some
written commitment for all future uses. Staff believes that a Development
Agreement is necessarv to ensure that this propertY is developed in a fashion that
is consistent with the comnrehensive plan designation and does not negativelv
impact nearbv properties. Staff believes that the Development Agreement should
include the following provisions:
Phasing Plan: The applicant anticipates constructing the subdivision in four
phases. The phasing plan begins along Locust Grove Road and then north, south
and finally west. Construction is anticipated to reflect market demand and
construction needs. Staff believes that some of the amenities proposed with the
development should be constructed prior to the development build out.
Therefore, statf recommends that prior to the City Council's approval of the 200'"
residential lot, the park area on Lot I, Block II, shall be constructed.
Construction of the park shall include the proposed swimming pool and
restrooms, the parking lot, and the tot lot.
Rumple Lane: In order to facilitate a future public street extension to this
property from Meridian Road, staff recommends that the applicant quit using
Rumple Lane as access to the public roadway system (Rumple may be used as an
emergency access if approved by the Fire Department.) Any interest that the
subject properties have in Rumple Lane should be surrendered upon annexation.

Multi-use Pathwav: On the Comprehensivc Plan Future Land Use Map, a multi-
use pathway is depicted on this property. The applicant is proposing to construct
the multi-use pathway on the south side of the Ridenbaugh Canal to the
northwest property line. Staff is generally supportive of the location of thc
pathway. However, a portion of the pathway lies outside of the boundmy of the
area being annexed and subdivided. Therefore, in case the applicant is unable to
come to an agreement with the owner where the pathway is proposed, staff
reconunends that a development agreement provision be that the applicant agrees
to construct a multi-use pathway through this site from Locust Grove Road to the
northwest property line.

site from Locust Grove Road to the nOlihwest Comer of the property.
2. PP Application:
Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed preliminalY plat substantially complies with the
Special Considerations:
Detached Sidewalks: The applicant is proposing to construct 5-foot wide
detached sidewalks on the intemal streets. The sidewalks are detached fi:om the
curb with an 8-foot wide landscape strip. In accordance with the recently passed
ACHD planter width standards, the width of the planter strip should be
constructed as proposed and include Class II trees. See Exhibit B below.
Ditches, Laterals. and Canals: The Ridenbaugh Canal runs along the site's
northem boundary. The Farr Lateral runs along the site's south boundary. There
are other irrigation/drainage laterals that bisect this parcel. The City has
historically not required the Ridenbaugh Canal to be piped (it would take a large
diameter pipe.) 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 should be tiled. Staff recommends that
exclusive of the Ridenbaugh Canal, all irrigation ditches, laterals and canals be
tiled. See Exhibit B below.
Pressure Irrigation: 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 used, the developer will be responsible for the payment of
assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the City
Engineer. An underground, pressurized irrigation 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.
Reflection Ridge Subdivision - AZ-O5-045, PP-O5-048, CUP-O5-046
PAGE 12
Fencing: The applicant is proposing to construct three tyPes of fencing within the
development: 5-foot tall tan vinyl fence, 4-foot tall tan vinyl fence, and a 4-foot
tall black wrought iron fence. The applicant is not proposing to construct
permanent fencing around the entire perimeter of the site. Perimeter fencing is
proposed around the perimeter, except for adjacent to Parcel No. S 1130212407
(northwest.) Due to safety concerns, staff recommends that fencing adjacent to:
Lots 23, Block 14; Lot I, Block J I; Lot 8, Block 14; Lot I, Block 18; Lot 13,
Block 8; and all fencing adjacent to micropaths be restricted to either a 4-foot tall
solid fence or a 6-foot tall open-vision fcnce. Further, an open-vision fence (or a
4-foot tall closed fence) should be required along the north side of the buildable
lots that are adjacent to the multi-use pathway near the Ridenbaugh Canal. A
detailed fencing plan should be submitted upon application of the final plat
(MCC 12-4-IO.F.3). If permanent fencing is not provided prior to issuance of
building permits, temporary construction fencing to contain debris must be
installed around the perimeter. All fencing should be installed in accordance with
City Code. See Exhibit B below.
CITY OF MßRIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFf REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 5, 2006
Existing Residcnces/Bui1dings: The site currently contains multiple buildings.
Because the existing structures span across proposed lot lines, all b\lÎldings shall
be removed or relocated prior to signature of the final plat by the City Engineer.
See Exhibit B below.
Multi-use Pathway: The applicant is proposing to construct the multi-use
pathway that is depicted on the Future Land Use Map along the south side of the
Ridenbaugh Canal. The applicant is proposing to construct the pathway lO-feet
wide along the entire length of the property. Staff is suppOliive of the proposal to
construct the multi-use pathway as depicted. However, staff has concerns with
fencing and landscaping adjacent to the pathway. City Code 12-13-12-9 requires
a 5-foot wide landscape buffer along the pathway. The submitted landscape plan
depicts a fence directly adjacent to the south side of the pathway; no landscaping
is proposed. Staff recommends that the applicant be required to construct as-foot
wide landscape buffer along the south side of the multi-use pathway and fencing
on the south side of the landscaping (nOlih side of tile buildable lots.) See
Fencing above and Exhibit B below.
Micronaths: The applicant is proposing to construct several micropaths with this
plat. Staff is generally supportive of the pedestrian connections between the
different subdivision blocks. All micropaths shall be constructed at least 5 feet
wide, with 5 feet of landscaping on each side of the path (MCC 12-13-15-3). See
Exhibit B below.
Common Areas: Maintenance of all common areas shall be the responsibility of
the Reflection Ridge Home Owners' Association.
3. CUP Application: The submitted CUP substantially complies with the Zoning
Ordinance. Staff is generally supportive of the proposed CUPIPD application, as it
generally conforms to Titles II and 12, Meridian City Code,
Special Considerations:
Requested Modifications: The applicant is requesting reductions to the standard
lot size, front building setback and street frontage requirements ofthe R-4 zone.
The applicant is also requesting to exceed the maximum block length of 1,000
feet in 2 blocks (Block 8, and Block 18). Due to existing topography to the south,
staff is supportive ofthe proposed block length in Block 18. Due to the lack of a
stub street being provided to this site from the north in Sicily Subdivision, staff is
supportive of the proposed block length modification in Block 8. See Exhibit B.
One--hundred-three of the proposed 255 lots (40%) are below the 8,000 square-
foot minimum lot size of the R-4 zone. One-hundred-fifty-two (60%) ofthe
proposed lots are at or exceed the minimum lot size of the R-4 zone. Nineteen of
the alley-loaded lots in Block 4 are requested to have a I O-foot fi-ont setback to
the liveable area (IS feet required by ordinance). Ninety-six of the 255 proposed
buildable lots (38%) do not meet the minimum street frontage requirement of the
R-4 zone (80-feet). Staff is suDIJortive of the requested modifications as thev
allow for diversity in lot and block size. See Exhibit B below.
Amenities: The applicant proposes usable open space in excess of 17 percent of
the site, a swimming pool, a clubhouse with changing rooms and restrooms, a
half basketball court, a sand volleyball court, two tot lots, gazebos, picnic tables,

benches, ornamental entrance street lights, micropaths, a regional pathway a!ong
the Ridenbaugh Canal, and a landscaped enh"ance bou1evard corridor with sh"eet
trees, and other amenities. Staff is suppoliive of the proposed amenities. See
Exhibit B below.
EJevations: The applicant has submitted sample pictures of how the alley-loaded
and classic houses will look. Staff is supportive of the bui!dings. Each house
shall be constructed in substantial compliance with the pictures subnIÎtted with
the CUP application. See Exhibit B below.
b. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval ofthe subject applications AZ-05-
045. PP-05-048. and CUP-05-046. with the conditions listed in Exhibit B ofthe StaffRepOli
for the hearing date of January 5. 2006,
Stat}" further recommends that the applicant contact the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District
(NMJD) to work out the details ofthe propertY line and easements for the Ridenbaugh Canal
relative to the proposed multi-use pathway location. At the public hearing the applicant should
be prepared to give an update on anv change to the pathwav' s location that mav be required by
NMID.

Exhibit C Page 3
CITY Of MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 5. 2006
D. Required Findings from Zoning Ordinance
I. Annexation Findings:
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed zoning amendment in tenus of the following standards and shall find adequatc
evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment:
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;
In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, 'medium density' is defined as areas
including single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre; 'low
density' consist of single-family homes at densities of three dwelling units or less per
acre. Staff finds that the requested residential zoning designation, R-4, is harmonious
with and in accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map,
which designates the 50 acres adjacent to Locust Grove Road to be "Low Density
Residential," and "Medium Density Residential" to the west. Some of the larger lots in
the development are within the area designated for low density residential. The applicant
has submitted detailed calculations for the low and medium density designated areas.
Staff finds that the low density area contains less than 3 dwelling units per acre, and that
the medium density area contains just under 3 dwelling units per acre (2.8 d.u/acre gross.)
The overall gross density of the project is 2.8 dwelling units per acre. Staff finds that the
density proposed with the preliminary plat is consistent with previous Commission and
Council actions and generally conforms to the goaJs, objectives, and action items
contained in the Comprehensive Plan for these low and medium density areas. Staff finds
that the proposed zoning is in general conformance with the comprehensive plan (please
see Section 8 of the Staff Report for detailed analysis of specific comprehensive plan
action items that apply to this development.)
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the future;
Concurrent with the annexation and zoning application, the applicant has submitted a
preliminary plat and a conditional use permit for a planned development that proposes
single-family dwelling lots on the subject site (PP-05-048 & CUP-05-046). Staff does not
anticipate that the applicant plans to rezone the subject property in the future if the
accompanying CUPIPD and PP applications are approved.
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
commercial area by means of conditional use permits;
Staff tìnds that single-family homes are allowed (permitted) within the requested R-4
zone, (if the accompanying Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Development is also
approved.)
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;
There have been no recent street improvements in the area. None of the nearby roadways:
Locust Grove Road, Amity Road, or Victory Road, are withio ACHD's Five Year Work
Program or CIP (20-year plan) for road widening. Sicily Subdivision, Chats worth
Subdivision and Roseleaf Subdivision to the north have been approved for development
similar to what is being proposed. Bellingham Park Subdivision and Tuscany Subdivision
Exhibit D Page I
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAff REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 5, 2006
to the cast have also been approved for single-family developments. The subject property
is generally surrounded by rural residential acreages. Staff does not find that there has
been a change in the area that dictates that this propcrty should be rezoned. However, this
is the logical expansion of the City limits. Staff recommends that the Commission and
Council rely on staffs analysis, public testimony received and any comments submitted
tì'om any other agencies or departments regarding whether this propcrty should be
alUlexed.
E. Wil1 the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be
hannonious 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;
The applicant has submitted photos/elevations for the proposed dwelling units. If
constructed similarly to the units in the photos, staff believes that the design of the
dwelling units will be compatible with the adjoining uses. Staff finds that the proposed
development wil1 change the existing character of the area, which is still largely rural.
However, the proposed development is generally harmonious with the intended eharacter
envisioned by the Comprehensive Plan. Staff does not find that the proposed zoning/uses
will adversely change the essential character of area.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring
uses;
The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony (oral and written) to
determine whether or not the proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to the existing
or future neighboring uses. Staff does not anticipate that the proposed uses will be
disturbing to future or existing neighbors, as long as landscaping, fencing and other
recommended conditions are exercised. Further, staff does not anticipate that the
proposed uses will be hazardous as long as the applicant complies with the conditions
contained in Exhibit B and all City Code provisions.
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,
sewcr; or will the person responsible for the establishment of the proposed zoning
amendment 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. Urban services, such as water and sewer, are near to this site and
the applicant should be able to extend such services to the site. Staff finds that the subject
site is proposed for development in a fashion similar to other properties in the area.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and highway
impact fees.
The ACHD has included several conditions of approval for the subject development.
Staff finds that the existing and proposed street system win be able to handle the
proposed development if the applicant complies with all of ACHD's conditions. All of
ACHD's conditions are included in Exhibit B of the Staff Report.
On September 30, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
represcntatives of key service providers to this property. Based on the joint
agency/department meeting and other comments received from agencies/departments,
staff finds that except for sanitary sewer, the public services listed above can be made
available to accommodate the proposed development. The Commission and Council
Exhibit D Page 2
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFf REPO"RT FOR THE HEMUNG DATE OF JANUARY 5, 2006
should reference any written and/or verbal testimony submitted by any public service
provider, regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
J-I. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public faciJities and
scrvices and will not be detrimental to the cconomic welfare of the community;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local street
intì-astructure, utiJities 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 detrimcntal 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 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.
1.
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;
The applicant is proposing to construct one public street access to connect with the
existing public street system. If is designed and constructed as required 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 maj or
importance; and
The Ridenbaugh Canal bisects this property. Staff considers the Ridenbaugh a scenic
feature, Staff recommends that this feature be protected and enhanced by the applicant.
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 referenee 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.
In accordance with the findimzs listed above. stafffìnds that the annexation and zoninll of
this Drovertv. as Drovosed bv the avDlicant. would be in the best interest of the Citv (see
Analvsis section in the Staff Report).
2. Preliminary Plat Findings:
In determining the acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Commission shall consider the
Exhibit D Page 3
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE Of JANUARY 5,2006
objectives of this Title and at least the following:
A. The confolluance ofthe subdivision with the Comprehensive Developmcnt Plan;
Please see Annexation Findings Item A above.
B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
Please see Annexation 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.
D. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
Please see Exhibit B for comments and conditions from other agencies and departments.
E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff is not aware of any health, safety or environmental problems associated with the
development of this subdivision that should be brought to the Councilor 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.
3. CUP Findings:
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed conditional use in terms of the following, and may approve a conditional use permit
if they shall find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish:
A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open
spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by this title;
As part of the Planned Development (PD) the applicant is requesting relief from the
standard street frontage, lot size, front setback and maximum block length requirements
of the R-4 zone. Staff finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the
requested use and all other required ordinance features. Although the site is large enough
to accommodate all of the features required by ordinance, the applicant has asked,
through the Planned Development, to modify specific development standards.
B. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance;
Staff finds that the proposed subdivision is generally harmonious with and in accordance
with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which designates the land
to be "Medium Density Residential" and "Low Density Residential" (provided the
Commission and Council grant the requested planned development). Please see
Annexation Findings A.
C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible with other
uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the

agency comments when detennining if the proposed uses will adversely affect other
properties in the vicinity.

Hood: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. Reflection Ridge
Subdivision includes just over 91 acres, request to R-4, which is a low-density
residential zoning district. The site is located on the west side of Locust Grove Road.
It's approximately a quarter mile north of Amity. There are currently three single-family
homes on this site and some other outbuildings. The property is designated -- there are
two different designations on the development property on the Comprehensive Plan
future land use map. Going from Locust Grove Road, this approximately 50 acres is
designated for low density residential. This triangle area up here, as well as this other
piece of property over here, are both called out for medium density residential? It's
about 40 acres medium density, so there are those two designations on the property.
To the north is recently approved Sicily Subdivision, just this year, so that you don't --
you don't even see any preliminary plat -- for final platted lots like you see in Roseleaf or
Chatsworth Subdivision, that are also in this section. There have been no city
subdivisions south of this, so this would be the first south in this section. The city limits
would go, if approved -- it is still rural in nature. There is a rural subdivision to the south
of the subject site as well. Here is a picture of the preliminary plat and I apologize, it is
a pretty large subdivision, very wide, and the lots don't come across very clearly. I do
have a breakdown with the landscape plan. We will go through that and touch on a
couple different things within different sections. Just to give you some more of the
numbers, there are 255 single-family building lots proposed. They are requesting to
reduce the lot sizes, particularly for some of the lots that are alley loaded and there are
some other smaller lots kind of internal to the subdivision here. They also do not have -
- some of the lots don't have the minimum street frontage requirement of the R-4 zone.
They have requested a reduced front building setback for those alley-loaded lots, as
well they'd like to go down to ten feet in the front for those alley-loaded lots. And there
are a few blocks that exceed our maximum block length. Here is a copy of the
landscape plan. There is 17.7 -- or 17 percent open space proposed within the
development. Some of the other amenities include a basketball court, volleyball court,
there is tot lots shown in a couple of the different common areas. A swimming pool in
this general location here. Clubhouse. And, then, they are doing the detached
sidewalks, the boulevard style entryway, with a -- there is a roundabout here into the
development. I think I'm just going to touch on a couple of changes to the submitted
site plan that staff has. I will briefly give you the recommendation right now that staff is
requesting that you hold off on any recommendation to the City Council at this time, in
order to give ACHD a chance to send those comments. We have not received official
approval or action from the highway district yet on this project. I did speak with their
staff last week and they said about two weeks they should have a staff report -- have
completed their traffic impact study and, then, be able to do a staff report and get it up
to their commission for action. So, that -- I think it was November 17th, I believe, is the
date that we think we can probably get it on for that hearing. A couple of the things that
we would also like the applicant to work on in the meantime, some questions that we
had -- and maybe this is where I'll go to some more of the blow ups of the area. This is
the entrance street. We did have a request for a stub street in approximately this
location. We have a five acre parcel south that has not been platted previously that's
adjacent to that residential subdivision that I pointed out earlier -- a county subdivision
that I pointed out earlier with approximately one acre lots here and for future
Meridian Planning & Zoning
October 20, 2005
Page 31 of 37
development purposes and interconnectivity purposes, staff would like to see a little
stub street here. It wouldn't be very much of a stub street. Maybe 20 or 30 feet in
length. But it would get them started in access, really, to this main entrance roadway.
Some of the amenities here. And on the back sides of some of the alley-loaded lots --
some of the last projects staff is requesting that these alleys be 24-foot wide private
streets for the reasons you discussed earlier, primarily for addressing purposes and
also gets them a little wider for the garbage trucks and fire trucks should they need to
use them. Or moving a little further to the west here, I don't know that there is much to
talk about here. They are stubbing a street down to -- I think it's 17 or 20 acres -- go
back real quick to the -- to the overall -- that stub street we were just looking at is in
approximately this location here. This is currently being filled back in. There is a pretty
significant grade. It's a bowl right now. The parks department is interested in possibly
reclaiming this area for a park in this section. A little bit different than the standard
parks you normally see. There are some challenges with that site, however. There is a
lack of visibility and just due to the steep slope surrounding, there is going to be limited
access into it, if it does become a park. So, the parks department is kind of trying to
think through some of those constraints and make that work as a park, but I think that
will happen, but just to kind of point that out. There is a stub street shown down here
and probably another access point will come via the existing lane. It will be improved as
a public street, but to that park, eventually, in the future, hopefully. I will briefly just --
there is a -- I think it's the Farr Lateral, that's here. They are going to be tiling that.
There is a common lot on the southwest corner. Here, getting a little farther to the
north. Some of these there isn't much to talk about, but right now there is an existing
private lane, as I mentioned, that goes out to Meridian Road and it does service three or
four homes -- a couple of the homes, anyways, that are currently on this site, as well as
there is another home or two just to the north that all use this private lane out to
Meridian Road. This is one of the reasons staff would like to get some comments from
ACHD for the Commission to look at whatever requirements the Ada County Highway
District is going to have, regarding the improvement of possibly a portion of this
roadway for public use. The applicant's proposing a 20-foot wide emergency access
easement in the interim until a public street can be constructed at the half mile location.
That's where this is is at the half mile. So, it makes pretty good sense to have a
collector road come in at that location. I will touch -- this is the very northern point of
this subdivision. The Ridenbaugh Canal does traverse the north property line all the
way out to Locust Grove Road along the north property line and in the staff report it is
called out that the police department met with us three weeks ago or thereabouts and
did have some concerns with this common lot at the end of this cul-de-sac and not
being able to see -- they are worried about it being hidden, especially if this property
owner constructs a fence, there is this kind of no man's land back there. The comments
from the police department were they would like to see this whole cul-de-sac area
basically opened up and make it kind of a park -- that end a cul-de-sac park. I spoke
with the applicant just before this hearing, he's got another rendering that maybe he'd
like to propose about making it be a -- adding a build-able lot, rather than just adding the
common lot. Going the other way, basically. Staff doesn't have a problem with that, if
you can solve the problem, the safety issue that was there before. We would like -- we
like the amount of open space they are providing and there is a pathway here, so as
",~:-
Meridian Planning & Zoning
October 20, 2005
Page 32 of 37
long as you can still get to the multi-use pathway, I don't think staff would have, really,
any concerns with that. I did scan in an overall of the picture, just to kind of show how
all those pieces fall together. I think that's pretty much -- except for the Ridenbaugh, I
did want to -- one more thing real quick, I guess, with that. The legal description
submitted with the application does show the project boundary line along the north side
of the Ridenbaugh for this top triangular piece and, then, in approximately this location it
cuts back and goes along the south boundary and in the next couple few weeks we'd
like to have a different answer from the applicant, the applicant's surveyor, or some
answer on where the property line actually is or any easements that have come to this
property. It really is going to have an effect on where Nampa-Meridian is going to allow
the pathway to be constructed there and if we need to work with Nampa-Meridian on
putting -- if it is within their easement, working through our master pathway agreement
we have with them or maybe they even have to move it fully on their site and outside of
any easements. But that's kind of an unknown right now that we would also like to get
some more -- some more answers to here in the next couple weeks. That's all that I
had, save I have a few elevations. I did have a couple of elevations that I can breeze
through those while the applicant is coming forward, if you would like. I'll stand for any
questions you may have.
Zaremba: Commissioners, any questions? Do we know in general throughout the area
who owns the Ridenbaugh Canal?
Hood: Mr. Chair, Members of the Commission, this section was a little bit odd for me,
the first time I had ever been on the Ada County assessor's website and looking at their
data and it did not show -- it did not pop up a property owner when you clicked on this
parcel. It looked like there is a parcel approximately 40 to 50 feet wide, but it did not
show who owned that. So, most of the time it's just going to be an easement, so you're
going to have private property with a 40 or 50-foot easement on either side from center
line of that lateral. In this case it did look like there was someone that owned that
property, but, again, we couldn't find it. There are other instances -- north Meridian
there is several instances where Settler's does own their facility outright, they own it in
fee simple. Most of the time -- I would say 70 percent of the time they are just going to
be easements across people's property, but this one was a little bit of a mystery and
that's why we would like to get that cleared up here before we get too far along in the
process, so --
Zaremba: Great. Thank you. And would the applicant care to come forward, please.
Koga: My name is David Koga with the Land Group at 462 East Shore Drive. First of
all, I'm just going to kind of follow up with some of Craig's comments that he had on the
project. First of all, before I get into any comments, I want to just mention that we did
have a neighborhood meeting after turning the application in. At that time it's not
required, but we thought it was very important, particularly with some of the neighbors to
the south over there. Craig, could you put that color one in? Particularly right here.
There you go. Thanks, Craig. Because of these neighbors right here we are trying to
be sensitive and don't have a lot of lots right next to it. So, we did have a neighborhood
Meridian Planning & Zoning

Page 33 of 37
meeting. We had two gentlemen at this subdivision and one gentleman across the
street came to our meeting on site and we had a good meeting and they were very --
basically thanked us for thinking -- or thinking of that area and to have some type of
buffer into the development in there. So, that turned out very well. More specifically on
some of the comments that Craig had mentioned, regard to the Ridenbaugh Canal, it is
true it was kind of unique. If you go and look at the -- the specific information, right
along the Ridenbaugh Canal to right here it specifically states that it's coming from the
center n-- that this ownership is south of the center of the Ridenbaugh Canal, but when
you get to right here it just says south of the Ridenbaugh Canal. So, we are saying
does that mean south of the center, south from the bank, south from the easement. So,
our surveyor put a lot of time and effort to do a search to find out more information and
they went back to 1900 something and could not find out the specific to state exactly
what they mean by that. Since then we have had a meeting with John Anderson with
Nampa-Meridian Irrigation and he agreed that it is -- it's an unknown source and so they
are going to do their own personal search right now to find out exactly who owns that
area. The way it appears is that Nampa-Meridian does own that and if that's the case,
then, they really don't care for that, they would rather just deed that to the developers,
just they always have their easement, their main easement in there. So, that's where
we are right now and as of right now Nampa-Meridian is still doing their personal search
on that. So, in our next meeting we will have more information on that.
Zaremba: If it did turn out that way, then, you would include it in the area that's being
annexed?
Koga: Yes. Correct. And we'd have to change the survey in there so it looks like the --
Zaremba: I think that's the effect that it has on the city is this little strip here --
Koga: Exactly.
Zaremba: -- you know, prevents somebody else from annexing, maybe.
Koga: Yeah. Having a little spike in there wouldn't work very well. So, yeah, that's
what we all want to obtain. Just want to make sure that nobody else owns that also and
I think that's the key thing. Regard to -- Rumple Road is a private road right now. The
owners to the north, Cavin, is going through the process right now to be developed
through some other developers and we are working -- as a matter of fact, we are going
to have another meeting with them next week to have a final decision on the Rumple
Road itself. I met with ACHD earlier this week and they -- their biggest concern is that
eventually they would like it changed from a private to public, number one. And,
number two, that our ownership is more centered with the Rumple Road. So, once
again, at our next meeting we should have more information about that. Regard to
ACHD, we are waiting for their report, but I met with ACHD -- it was either Monday or
Tuesday of this week. Some of the key things that -- I can kind of highlight what they
are looking at. At our entrance right here they want to make sure that our entrance is
directly aligned with the proposed development to the east Right now we are about 16
Meridian Planning & Zoning
October 20, 2005
Page 34 of 37
-- well, no, we are about 12 or 13 feet off. So, we just need to move our entrance a little
bit to the south. As Craig mentioned, we will have a stub out to the south on these five-
acre lots to the south here. We talked a little bit earlier about Rumple. And this area
right here where there is plans for a future bridge, they are going to require the
developers to pay for half of that bridge. And the other issue has to do with the length
about the blocks in here and it's just kind of unique that you had a presentation tonight
from ACHD. We did -- when we met with ACHD, they -- what we would realize to do is
that at each one of these intersections is -- it should have bulb outs on that area and
they really -- they agreed and they liked that idea and so in our next presentation we will
have those changes made also to show you that.
Zaremba: It also appears that some of those are not exactly a straightaway either. Is
that really a slight curve along there?
Koga: Uh-huh. Oh, yeah.
Zaremba: And the same thing here, it's not an exact straightaway?
Koga: I mean -- yeah. Yeah. On this area right here where we have the one open
space, we were just kind of hard to -- the police to look at. What we would like to do is
do just the opposite. Instead of open -- or taking this lot out and have a larger open
space, we'd like to just turn this whole area into a larger lot. We would still have a small
open space right here as part of the cul-de-sac, so people do have access to the
regional pathway system, but we just think that would be a better option to that situation
there. And -- oh, in closing, there is a couple issues -- I don't want to go into the details
on this, but we have -- we have met with Public Works in regard to both sewer and
water. There are a couple of issues on that and we will directly work with them in
regard to the sewer and water on that. Other than that, do you have any questions?
Zaremba: Thank you. Commissioners, any questions? I guess not at this point.
Koga: Thank you.
Zaremba: We will go on to public testimony and signed up we have Paul Walsh. Okay.
He has nothing to add. Marked as being in favor. He was the only one that signed up,
but if anybody else would care to add any testimony, anything you feel we would miss?
Seeing no action, Mr. Koga, if you care to wrap up? There is nothing to rebut, but -- it's
all been said. All right. Thank you. Appreciate that. Okay. As suggested by staff,
there are some things that need to be adjusted and I think it's the right thing to do to
continue this to our second meeting in November, get the ACHD report. ACHD will
have the ideas incorporated that have already been talked about.
Moe: Mr. Chairman?
Zaremba: I guess the question is does any Commissioner have anything that they feel
they would add as a condition that's not already there?

Borup: Commissioner Moe.
Moe: No. I'm fine with it the way it is. What's been discussed. The only question I
would have of the applicant would be as far as Nampa-Meridian Irrigation, the situation
with the Ridenbaugh, are you going to be able to have that resolved and information will
be, then, by the 17th? Okay.
Zaremba: I see a head nod and a yes from the audience. All right. On the whole of it it
looks like an attractive project to me, so I see no reason to add any other -- the issues
that have been talked about I'm satisfied that they will be resolved.
Borup: A couple of the designs that they were talking about was the bulb outs, the curb
extensions, and the entrance. I'm assuming that the entrance moving was at Locust
Grove, not the whole length; isn't that correct?
Moe: Okay.
Zaremba: With such an odd-shaped piece of property, an excellent job of coming up
with something. It appears to be pretty attractive. Oh, I -- my one other question was
on the -- the same thing on the alleyways that will be private streets, they will be in their
own common lot? Yes. Okay. The answer to that is yes. So, they are maintained by
the homeowners association.
Borup: Right. Was the testimony on Rumple Lane that the hope is that would
eventually be a public road and the access would be a public road access from here?
It's still not going to be --
Zaremba: Over to Meridian.
Borup: -- just an emergency access, it will eventually be a public? Maybe--
Zaremba: If you would care to comment on that, sir. Come on back.
Koga: One thing I should mention. We did meet with Joe Silva about in the case it is a
private road for emergency he didn't have any problem with that. Just so that -- that he
has the right to have that access to it through an easement in there.
Borup: You said ACHD would like to see it go public and, then, I assume that would be
a full right of way --
Koga: Well, not only them, but you look on the City of Meridian on your Comp Plan for
your streets in the future, that you'd like to have -- it states there as a collector also. So,
we are working with -- like I say, with the developers to the north, so we have a joint use
on that.
Meridian Planning & Zoning
October 20, 2005
Page 36 of 37
Borup: Well, the reason I brought it up is at this point you don't show a wide enough
right of way to there, do you?
Koga: What we are showing right now -- I know it's hard to see on this, but we are
showing a right of way for a half street.
Borup: Okay.
Koga: And I think that's why I say we will work with the developers to show you how
that road will be brought in there. It's wide enough that a half -- it's a right of way for
emergency access for 20 feet and, then, also if it is the case that it turns from private to
public, that it's wide enough for taking up half of that.
Borup: Okay.
Zaremba: And you're talking --
Borup: You've got 31 feet there. It looks like 31 feet.
Koga: I think so.
Zaremba: Your discussion with the fire department, they are satisfied that even before
it becomes a public road it's still usable as an emergency access, which means that
you're not limited to 50 housing units, because there is a second --
Koga: Because the radius and half mile radius he has. Right. We had talked to him
about that.
Zaremba: Okay. Thank you. Well, I think the issues are known and we are interested
in ACHD's response. Anybody care to continue?
Hood: Mr. Chair? I'm sorry, I just wanted to add one more thing.
Zaremba: Mr. Hood.
Hood: We did talk to the applicant before and I just think it made it into the site specific
conditions that I will be adding for next time, is to have them relinquish any interest they
may have in that private road, just so there is not difficulty getting that public collector
that we are looking for in the future. So, I'll make note here to add that as a condition,
that any interest they may have when they plat, it goes away for that private lane. They
can sure use it as a public street, but just so we don't have that -- a Wingate Lane or
some of the other lane problems that we get with someone trying to cross that. So,
sorry, I forgot -- I did not include that as a condition, but we will include that for the next
time, so -- thank you.
Zaremba: Okay. That makes sense to me. Commissioner Moe.

Re: Reflection Ridge Subdivision (AZ-05-045, PP-048 and CUP-05-046)
Applications for 11-17-05 Planning & Zoning Conmùssion Meeting
As the Commission is aware, the above-mentioned project was continued from the
October 20, 2005 meeting so that the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) could
provide comment to the City. As of the print deadline for the staff report, City staff
had still not received comments from the ACHD. City staffhas been in contact with
ACHD staff and the discussions have primarily focused on appropriate street sections
and traffic calming measures for the internal streets. Staff believes that it is critical to
have the ACHD's input on a project this size before an official action is taken by the
Commission. Therefore, staff recommends that the Commission continue the public
hearing on the subject development at the November 17th hearing to allow the ACHD
to comment on this project and to allow the applicant time to revise the submitted
drawings to reflect any changes that may be required by the ACHD. To ensure that
both ACHD and the applicant have time to complete their tasks and to ensure that
City staff has ample time to receive and incorporate the ACHD's comments and
conditions into the staff report, staff recommends that AZ-05-045. PP-05-048 and
CUP-05-046 be continued to December 15.2005.

applicant is proposing one public street access to Locust Grove Road. The applicant is
proposing two stub streets to the large parcel to the northwest (Caven), one stub street to the
25 acre parcel to the southwest, one stub to the 121 acre parcel to the south, and one stub street

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
to the 23 acre parcel to the northeast. Staff supports the proposed stub streets. However, there
is a 5-acre parcel just south ofthe property, adjacent to Locust Grove Road, to which the
applicant is not proposing a stub street. The proposed main entrance into the subject
development (Wrightwood Drive) is just north of this parcel. Staff recommends that access
(stub street) to Wrightwood Drive be provided to Parcel No. SI130449650 (see Analysis
below).
The City did not require a stub street to the subject site from Sicily Subdivision to the n011h,
and the applicant is requesting to exceed the maximum block length because there is no outlet
for the northern most street (Luminous Way). Except for at the entrance, all intel1lal streets are
proposed 36-feet wide (measured back of curb to back of curb) and have detached 5-foot wide
sidewalks. All streets will be public and will be constructed, along with curb, gutter and
sidewalks, to the Ada County Highway District's standards.
The applicant will also be constructing two 24-foot wide alleys in Blocks 2, 3 and 4. Homes
adjacent to these alleys will take access to the garage via the alley. Some ofthe alley-loaded
lots do not have frontage on a public street. Therefore, the alleys will need street signs and
addresses for those homes without street frontage will be provided from the alley. For this
reason, staff recommends that the proposed alleys be constructed as private streets (except for
the sidewalks) as set forth in the UDC 11 ~3F -4. Staff is supportive of the proposed street
system. For a detailed report on the public streets and access points to public streets, please see
the ACHD report (when available), the Analysis section of this report, and Exhibit B.
6. COMMENTS MEETING
On September 30,2005 Planning staff held an agency comments meeting. The agencies and
departments 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
Approximately 40 of the 91 acres is designated "Medium Density Residential" on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. Medium Density Residential areas are anticipated to
contain between three and eight dwelling units per acre. The remaining 50 acres adjacent to
Locust Grove Road is designated "Low Density Residential" on the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Map. Low density residential areas are anticipated to contain up to three dwellings per
acre. The applicant has submitted individual calculations for the low density and medium density
areas. The 50.5 acres designated for low density residential contains 143 dwelling units for a
gross density of 2.8 dwelling units/acre. The 40 acres designated for medium density residential
contains 112 dwelling units for a gross density of 2.8 dwelling units/acre. Staff fmds that the
overall density is within the range for a low to medium density project (2.8 dwellings per acre,
gross, and 3.8 dwellings per acre, net).
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:
Reflection Ridge Subdivision - AZ-05-045, PP-05-048, CUP-05-046
PAGE 6
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
.
Sanitary sewer and water servIce will be extended to the project at the
developer's expense.
The suqject 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 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 residential development. Staff finds that the existing residential
properties to the north, south and east are compatible with the proposed development. The
Parks Department has looked at redevelopment of the 25 acre pit area to the west and south
for a City Park. The main concerns of the Parks Department with this area being used for a
park are the lack of access to the area because there are steep slopes, and the lack of
visibility into the site. The Parks Department believes they can work around these constraints
and use a large portion of the 25 acre pit area for a park in this section. The property that
currently has storage facilities (northeast corner of Amity Road and Meridian Road) is
designated for Mixed Use - Regional on the Future Land Use Map. Staff anticipates the
existing mining pit and the storage areas to the west and south will redevelop in the near
future.
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 applications include a request for the R-4 zone and propose only single-family
detached units. The applicant is offering a mix of lot sizes and house styles. Some al/ey-
loaded units as well as front-loaded garage units are proposed. Although the requested zone
does not provide much variety, the proposed Craftsman and Classic house styles do
contribute to the variety of house styles in the area.
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)
.

PAGE 7
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
See bullet above. Staff find~ that the housing types proposed are appropriate for a residential
development in this location.
.
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 provide stub streets to the unplatted parcels to the northwest
(2), south (2) and northeast (1). However, there is a 5 acre parcel adjacent to Locust Grove
Road that the applicant is not proposing a stub street to. To enhance connectivity and to limit
future access points to Locust Grove Road, staff believes that a stub street should be provided
to Parcel No. Sl130449650. See Exhibit B below.
.
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 is providing a landscape buffer adjacent to the existing 1 and 5 acre parcels to
the south. The applicant has proposed a development in which the single-family lots in the
development are adjacent to other single-family lots. Staff recognizes that there are some
existing low density residential land uses to the south and supports the proposed landscaping
and lots adjacent to the existing residences.
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.
Require new residential development to provide pennanent perimeter fencing to contain
construction debris on site and prevent windblown debris from entering adjacent agricultural
and other properties. (Chapter VII, Goal I, Obj ective D, Action 9)
The applicant is not proposing to fence the entire perimeter of the site. if pennanent fencing
is not constructed, temporary construction fencing should be installed prior to issuance of
building permits. See Analysis below for comments regarding the proposed fencing types.
.
Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets. (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective D, Action 2)
Except for Wrightwood Drive, access to Locust Grove Road should be prohibited.
Staff finds that the proposed R-4 zoning designation is generally 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 dwellings as
permitted uses in the R-4 zoning district.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone:
Retlection Ridge Subdivision - AZ-05-045, PP-O5-048, CUP-05-046
PAGE 8
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
R-4 Low Density Residential District: Only single~family dwellings, public schools, and
public and private parks shall be pennitted and no conditional uses shaIl be permitted except
for planned developments. The puIþose ofthe 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.
c. General Standards: As part ofthe PD, the applicant is requesting modifications to the
standard lot size, and street frontage requirements of the R-4 zone. The applicant is also
requesting a modification to exceed the maximum block length of 1,000 feet. Other than these
requested dimensional standard modifications, the proposed development substantiaIly
complies with all of the general standards of the Meridian Zoning Ordinance.
9. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
1. AZ 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 single-family
residential subdivision. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of the required facts
and findings.
The annexation legal description submitted with the application (stamped on August
15, 2005 by Timothy J. Fox, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing
coIþorate boundary of the City of Meridian.
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 puIþoses such as landscape irrigation.
Reflection Ridge Subdivision - AZ-05-045, PP-05-048, CUP-05-046
PAGE 9
All future development ofthe subject property shall be constructed in accordance with
City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development. AIl 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.
Special Considerations:
Development A~eement: MCC 11-16A provides the Planning & Zoning
Commission and City Council the authority to require a property owner to enter
into a Development Agreement with the City of Meridian that may require some
written commitment for all future uses. Staff believes that a Development
A p"eement is necessary to ensure that this property is developed in a fashion that
is consistent with the comprehensive plan desÜmation and does not nel!atively
impact nearby properties. Staff believes that the Development Agreement should
include the following provisions:
Phasinl! Plan: The applicant anticipates constructing the subdivision in four
phases. The phasing plan begins along Locust Grove Road and then north, south
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
and finally west. Construction is anticipated to reflect market demand and
construction needs. Staff believes that some of the amenities proposed with the
development should be constructed prior to the development build out.
Therefore, staff recommends that prior to the City Council's approval of the 200th
residential lot, the park area on Lot 1, Block 11, shall be constructed.
Construction of the park shall include the proposed swimming pool and
restrooms, the parking lot, and the tot lot.
.
Prior to the annexation ordinance approval, a Development Agreement (DA)
shall be entered into between the City of Meridian, property owner (at the time of
annexation ordinance adoption), and the developer. The aDplicant shall contact
the Citv Attornev. Bill Nary. at 888-4433 to initiate this process. The DA shall
incorporate the following:
. That 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.
That the following shall be the only allowed uses on this property:
single-family detached homes.
That any new structure(s) shall be generally compatible in appearance
and bulk with the submitted pictures/elevations.
That prior to the City Council's approval of the 200th residential lot, the
park area on Lot 1, Block 11, shall be constructed. Construction of the
park shall include the proposed swimming pool and restrooms, the
parking lot, and the tot lot.
.
.
2. PP Application: The proposed preliminary plat substantially complies with the
Zoning Ordinance.
Special Considerations:
Detached Sidewalks: The applicant is proposing to construct 5-foot wide
detached sidewalks on the internal streets. The sidewalks are detached from the
curb with an 8-foot wide landscape strip. In accordance with the recently passed
ACHD planter width standards, the width of the planter strip should be
constructed as proposed and include Class II trees. See Exhibit B below.
Ditches. Laterals. and Canals: The Ridenbaugh Canal runs along the site's
northern boundary. The Faa Lateral runs along the site's south boundary. There
are other irrigation/drainage laterals that bisect this parcel. The City has
historically not required the Ridenbaugh Canal to be piped (it would take a large
diameter pipe). Per MCC 12-4-13, all imgation ditches, laterals or canals,
exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and
contiguous to the area being subdivided should be tiled. Staff recommends that
exclusive of the Ridenbaugh Canal, all iITigation ditches, laterals and canals be
tiled. See Exhibit B below.
Pressure IrrÜmtion: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized iaigation
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
Reflection Ridge Subdivision - AZ-05-045, PP-05-048, CUP-05-046
PAGE IO
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
cOlillection to the culinary water system shall be required. If a single-point
connection is used, the developer will be responsible for the payment of
assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the City
Engineer. An underground, pressurized itTigation 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.
Fencing: The applicant is proposing to construct three types of fencing within the
development: 5-foot tall tan vinyl fence, 4wfoot tall tan vinyl fence, and a 4-foot
tall black wrought iron fence. The applicant is not proposing to construct
pennanent fencing around the entire perimeter. Due to safety concerns, staff
recommends that fencing adjacent to: Lots 6, Block 14; Lot 1, Block 11; Lot 8,
Block 15; Lot 1, Block 19; Lot 15, Block 6; and all fencing adjacent to
micropaths be restricted to either a 4-foot tall solid fence or a 6-foot tall open-
vision fence. Further, an open-vision fence (or a 4-foot tall closed fence) should
be constructed along the north side of the buildable lots that are adjacent to the
multi-use pathway near the Ridenbaugh Canal. A detailed fencing plan should be
submitted upon application of the final plat (MCC l2-4-l0.F.3). If pennanent
fencing is not provided, temporary construction fencing to contain debris must be
installed around the perimeter prior to issuance of a building pennit. All fencing
should be installed in accordance with City Code. See Exhibit B below.
Existing Residences/Buildinl!s: The site currently contains multiple buildings.
Because the existing structures span across proposed lot lines, all buildings shall
be removed or relocated prior to signature of the final plat by the City Engineer.
See Exhibit B below.
Multi-use Pathway: The applicant is proposing to construct the multi-use
pathway that is depicted on the Future Land Use Map along the south side of the
Ridenbaugh Canal. The applicant is proposing to construct the pathway lO-feet
wide along the entire length ofthe property. Staff is supportive of the proposal to
construct the multi~use pathway as depicted. However, staff has concerns with
fencing and landscaping adjacent to the pathway. City Code 12-13-12-9 requires
a 5wfoot wide landscape buffer along the pathway. The submitted landscape plan
depicts a fence directly adjacent to the south side of the pathway; no landscaping
is proposed. Staff recommends that the applicant be required to construct a 5-foot
wide landscape buffer along the south side of the multi-use pathway and fencing
on the south side of the landscaping. See Fencing above and Exhibit B below.
Microoaths: The applicant is proposing to construct several micropaths with this
plat. Staff is generally supportive of the pedestrian connections between the
different subdivision blocks. All micropaths shall be constructed at least 5 feet
wide, with 5 feet of landscaping on each side of the path (MCC 12-13-15-3). See
Exhibit B below.
Stub Streets: The applicant is proposing several stub streets to adjacent
properties. Staff is supportive of the location and design of the proposed stub
streets. However, there is a 5~acre parcel just south of the property, adjacent to
Locust Grove Road, which the applicant is not proposing a stub street to.
Because a stub street is not proposed to the south, Block 9 exceeds the 1,000-foot
maximum block length. The proposed main entrance into the subject
development (Wrightwood Drive) is just north of this parcel. Staff recommends
Reflection Ridge Subdivision - AZ-05-045, PP-05-048, CUP-05-046
PAGE II
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
that a stub street from Wrightwood Drive be provided to Parcel No.
S1130449650. Said stub street shall be located approximately 150 feet east of
Dazzle Way (measured from centerline to centerline). See Exhibit B below.
Lot 25. Block 6: With the CUlTent lot configuration, Planning and Police staff
believe there is a visibility issue into common Lot 15, Block 6. Because Morning
Glory Place is a dead-end and there is a lack of visibility into the lot from the
street, staff recommends that Lot 25, Block 6, be combined with Lot 15 to create
one large common lot. See Exhibit B below.
Lot 13. Block 6: The applicant is proposing a common lot at the intersection of
Luminous Way/Radiant Ridge/Shimmering Street (Lot 13, Block 6). Because
this common lot reduces the amount of street frontage for Lot 12, Block 6 to 40
feet, staff recommends that Lot 13, be removed and included as part of the
adjacent buildable Lots 12 and 14, See Exhibit B below.
3. CUP Application: The submitted CUP substantially complies with the Zoning
Ordinance. Staff is generally supportive ofthe proposed CUP/PD application, as it
generally confonns to Titles 11 and 12, Meridian City Code.
Special Considerations:
Requested Modifications: The applicant is requesting reductions to the standard
lot size, front building setback and street frontage requirements of the R-4 zone.
The applicant is also requesting to exceed the maximum block length of 1,000
feet in 4 blocks (Block 19, Block 6, Block 13, and Block 9). Due to existing
topography and the lack of a stub street being provided to this site from the north,
staff is supportive of the proposed block length modifications in Blocks 6, 13 and
19. Staff does not support the request to modify Block 9 because a stub street
should be constructed to break up the block length (see Stub Streets above and
Exhibit B).
One-hundred-three of the proposed 255 lots (40%) are below the 8,000 square-
foot minimum lot size of the R-4 zone. One-hundred-fifty-two (60%) of the
proposed lots are at or exceed the minimum lot size ofthe R-4 zone. Nineteen of
the alley-loaded lots in Block 3 are requested to have a 10-foot front setback to
the liveable area (15 feet required by ordinance). Ninety-six of the 255 proposed
buildable lots (38%) do not meet the minimum street frontage requirement of the
R-4 zone (80-feet). Except for the proposed block lem!1:h of Block 9. staffis
supportive of the requested modifications as thev allow for diversitv in lot and
block size. See Exhibit B below.
Amenities: The applicant proposes usable open space in excess of 17 percent of
the site, a swimming pool, a clubhouse with changing rooms and restrooms, a
half basketball court, a sand volleyball court, two tot lots, gazebos, picnic tables,
benches, ornamental entrance street lights, micropaths, a regional pathway along
the Ridenbaugh Canal, and a landscaped entrance boulevard colTidor with street
trees, and other amenities. Staff is supportive of the proposed amenities. See
Exhibit B below.
Elevations: The applicant has submitted sample pictures of how the alley-loaded
and classic houses will look. Staff is supportive of the buildings. Each house
shall be constructed in substantial compliance with the pictures submitted with
Reflection Ridge Subdivision ~ AZ-05-045, PP-05-048, CUP-05-046

the CUP application. See Exhibit B below.
b. Staff Recommendation: Until the City receives comments and conditions from the Ada
County Highwav District. staff recommends that the Commission continue AZ-05-045. PP-05-
048. and CUP-05-046 for Reflection Rid!!e Subdivision. Staff further recommends that the
applicant contact the Nampa Meridian IrrÜmtion District (NMID) to work out the details of the
property line and easements for the Ridenbau!!h Canal relative to the proposed multi-use
pathway location. At the next hearing the applicant should be prepared to !!ive an update on
anv change to the pathway's location that may be required by NMID.

D. Required Findings from Zoning Ordinance
1. Annexation Findings:
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed zoning amendment in tenus of the following standards and shall find adequate
evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment:
A. Will the new zoning be hannonious with and in accordance with the comprehensive plan
and, ifnot, has there been an application for a comprehensive plan amendment;
D.
In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, 'medium density' is defined as areas
including single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre; 'low
density' consist of single-family homes at densities of three dwelling units or less per
acre. Staff finds that the requested residential zoning designation, R-4, is hannonious
with and in accordance with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map,
which designates the 50 acres adjacent to Locust Grove Road to be "Low Density
Residential", and "Medium Density Residential" to the west. Some of the larger lots in
the development are within the area designated for low density residential. The applicant
has submitted detailed calculations for the low and medium density designated areas.
Staff fmds that the low density area contains less than 3 dwelling units per acre, and that
the medium density area contains just under 3 dwelling units per acre (2.8 d.u/acre gross).
The overall gross density of the project is 2.8 dwelling units per acre. Staff finds that the
density proposed with the preliminary plat is consistent with previous Commission and
Council actions and generally confonns to the goals, objectives, and action items
contained in the Comprehensive Plan for these low and medium density areas. Staff finds
that the proposed zoning is in general confonnance with the comprehensive plan (please
see Section 7 of the Staff Report for detailed analysis of specific comprehensive plan
action items that apply to this development).
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the future;
ConcuITent with the annexation and zoning application, the applicant has submitted a
preliminary plat and a conditional use pennit for a planned development that proposes
single-family dwelling lots on the subject site (PP-05~048 & CUP-05-046). Staff does not
anticipate that the applicant plans to rezone the subject property in the future if the
accompanying CUP/PD and PP applications are approved.
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
commercial area by means of conditional use pennits;
Staff finds that single-family homes are allowed (pennitted) within the requested R-4
zone, (if the accompanying Conditional Use Pennit for a Planned Development is also
approved).
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;
There have been no recent street improvements in the area. None ofthe nearby roadways:
Locust Grove Road, Amity Road, or Victory Road, are within ACHD's Five Year Work
Program or CIP (20-year plan) for road widening. Sicily Subdivision, Chatsworth
Subdivision and Roseleaf Subdivision to the north have been approved for development
similar to what is being proposed. Bellingham Park Subdivision and Tuscany Subdivision
Exhibit D Page I
CITY OF MERlDIANPLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT. QUESTIONS? CALL (208) 884-5533
to the east have also been approved for single-family developments. The subject property
is generally suITounded by rural residential acreages. Staff does not find that there has
been a change in the area that dictates that this property should be rezoned. However, this
is the logical expansion of the City limits. Staff recommends that the Commission and
Council rely on staffs analysis, public testimony received and any comments submitted
from any other agencies or departments regarding whether tIns propeliy should be
annexed.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be
hannonious 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;
The applicant has submitted photos/elevations for the proposed dwelling units. If
constructed similarly to the units in the photos, staff believes that the design of the
dwelling units will be compatible with the adjoining uses. Staff finds tI1at the proposed
development will change the existing character of the area, which is still largely rural.
However, the proposed development is generally hannonious with the intended character
envisioned by the Comprehensive Plan. Staff does not find that the proposed zoning/uses
will adversely change the essential character of area.
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring
uses;
The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony (oral and written) to
detennine whether or not the proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to the existing
or future neighboring uses. Staff does not anticipate that the proposed uses will be
disturbing to future or existing neighbors, as long as landscaping, fencing and other
recommended conditions are exercised. Further, staff does not anticipate that the
proposed uses will be hazardous as long as the applicant complies with the conditions
contained in Exhibit B and all City Code provisions.
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 will the person responsible for the establishment of the proposed zoning
amendment 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. Urban services, such as water and sewer, are near to this site and
the applicant should be able to extend such services to the site. Staff finds that the subj ect
site is proposed for development in a fashion similar to other properties in the area.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and highway
impact fees.
As of the print deadline of this report. ACHD has not submitted a staff report with site

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 ofthe Reflection Ridge Subdivision will have an impact on school enrollments
at Mary McPherson Elementary. Lake Hazel Middle. and Mountain View High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house seventy-four (74)
elementary aged children, sixty-eight (68) middle school aged children, and fifty-six (56)
senior high aged students. Additional students wi.ll 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 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,
~~
