7. COMMENTS MEETING
On December 30, 2005 Planning Staff held an agency comments meeting. The agencies and departments
present include: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Police Department, Meridian Parks Department,
Meridian Public Works Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. Staffhas included all comments
and recommended actions as Conditions of Approval in the attached Exhibit B.
8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
This property is designated "Mixed-Use Neighborhood (Neighborhood Center)" on the Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use Map. Mixed Use Neighborhood areas are anticipated to contain from three to eight
dwellings per acre (see Page 95 of the Comprehensive Plan.) The proposed Preliminary Plat includes 12
single-family lots on 5.74 acres for a gross density of2.19 dwelling units/acre (2.41 net). Staff finds that
the large lot proposed to remain around the existing residence reduces the density significantly and the
development substantially complies with the intent of the density range for the designation. At such time
that Lot 7, Block 31 redevelops, the density of the development will fall with the three to eight units per
acre noted for Mixed Use Neighborhood areas of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff finds that the following
Comprehensive Plan policies apply to this application:
.
Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1 - Require that development projects have planned
for the provision of all public services.
When the City established its Area qf 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 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 Sher(fl'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 suNect 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.
.
Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective D, Action 9 - Require new residential development to provide
Quenzer North Subdivision AZ-05-063, PP-O5-063
PAGE 4
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 19, 2006
permanent perimeter fencing to contain construction debris on site and prevent windblown debris
from entering adjacent agricultural and other properties.
A six-foot tall closed fence has been proposed around a portion of the perimeter of the
development. and there is existingfencing on the remainder. Prior to house construction, jencing
should be constructed around the perimeter o,fthis site.
.
Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 1 - Protect existing residential properties from
incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels.
The applicant is proposing a residential zone. Stafffznds that the existing residential properties to
the south and west are compatible with the proposed development.
.
Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 10 - 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.
The subject application includes a request jor the R~8 zone. StajJfìnds that the requested zoning
designation contributes to the variety of residential zoning categories in this area and is
generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation for this site.
9. ZONING ORDINANCE
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: UDC ll-2A-2 lists multifamily developments as a
Conditional Use.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the residential districts is to provide for a range of
housing opportunities consistent with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Connection to the
City of Meridian water and sewer systems is a requirement for all residential districts.
Residential districts are distinguished by the allowable density of dwelling units per acre and
corresponding housing types that can be accommodated within the density range.
10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
ANNEXATION ANALYSIS: 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 multifamily development. Please see Exhibit
D for detailed analysis of facts and findings.
The annexation legal description submitted with the application (prepared on November 11, 2005
by Gregory Carter, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate boundary of
the City of Meridian.
That the applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the sewer and water service
extension. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be
removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517, when services are
available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non-domestic purposes such as
landscape irrigation.

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 all future development of the subject property shall be constructed in accordance with
City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development.
. That the applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the sewer and water service

housed on said lot upon either 1) vacancy of the property by the current owner (Vanessa M.
Klaus) or 2) January 1,2010, whichever occurs first.
PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS: 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 townhouse residential
products. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of facts and findings.
1. Livestock: The property currently contains livestock (horses) that the applicant has
requested be allowed to remain on Lot 7, Block 31 which is the existing home. Staff
recommends that the horses should be allowed to stay until either vacation of the property
by the CUrrent owner or January 1, 2010, whichever occurs first. This stipulation shall be
made part of the Development Agreement.
2. Parkways and Landscaped Open Space: The applicant is proposing to set aside .12 acres
(2.1 % of the property) for open space. UDC 11-3G-3 requires that all subdivisions of 5
acres or more shall provide a minimum of 5% of the gross land area in landscaped open
space. The applicant is also proposing parkways which are five feet in width and are
proposed to contain Class II trees. UDC ll-3A-17 requires that parkways which contain
Class II trees be a minimum of eight feet in width without root barriers, or six feet in
width with root barriers which meet specific requirements. Any parkways of at least
eight feet in width which contain street trees may be counted toward the five percent
landscaped open space requirement (UDC 11-3G-5), provided that driveway cuts are
subtracted.

CiTY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARiNG DATE OF JANUARY ]9,2006
The area of the plat depicted as Lot 11, Block 13 and Lot 1, Block 31 was platted as a
common open space lot in Quenzer Commons Subdivision No.9, which lies immediately
to the south of the subject property. The applicant has received Alternative Compliance
approval from the Meridian Planning Department to place a portion of N. Quenzer Way
across the open space lot. Staff has not, however, approved the conversion of the west
half of the common lot to a building lot, as shown on the submitted preliminary plat. The
Commission and Council should consider whether the elimination of the approved open
space lot from Quenzer Commons Subdivision No.9 is appropriate.
Staff recommends that the preliminary plat and landscape plan be modified to increase
the parkways to eight feet in width, and the applicant should provide the Planning
Department with revised open space calculations that reflect the included parkways. The
applicant should be prepared to demonstrate at the public hearing how the 5% minimum
landscaped requirement will be met.
3. No Parking: N. North Quenzer Way is proposed as a 29 foot street section and parking
shall not be allowed on either side of the street. The street shall be signed as "No
Parking" per the Meridian Fire Department's comments.
4. 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 utilized, 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
UDC 11-3A-15 and MCC 9-1-28.
5. Fencing: The applicant has submitted a detailed fencing plan (on the landscape plan
dated December 1, 2005) with the preliminary plat application for the subdivision. Staff
is supportive of the fencing proposed. All perimeter fencing must be completed prior to
issuance of building permits. All fences should taper down to 3 feet maximum within 20
feet of all right-of-way. All fencing should be installed in accordance with UDC ll-3A-7.
6. Common Areas: Maintenance of all common areas shall be the responsibility of the
Quenzer North Home Owners' Association.
7. Ditches, Laterals. and Canals: Per UDC ll-3A-6 all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals,
exclusive of natural waterways and waterways being used as amenities, that intersect,
cross or lie within the area being subdivided shall be covered.
b. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of AZ-05-063 and PP-05-063 for
Quenzer North Subdivision as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of January 19,
2006 based on the Findings of Fact as listed in Exhibit D and subject to the conditions of approval
