ITEMS MOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA [Action Item] Simison: There were no items moved from the Consent Agenda. DEPARTMENT / COMMISSION REPORTS [Action Item] 14. Police Department: Fiscal Year 2022 Budget Amendment in the Amount of ($20,200.00) for Alive at 25 Grant Funding Simison: So, we will move into Item 14, which is the Police Department fiscal year 2022 budget amendment in the amount of 20,200 dollars and turn this over to the chief this evening. Basterrechea: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, we are bringing this budget amendment before you. This is part of a grant funding we are looking for spending authority on -- on this for our Alive at 25 program. For those of you who may not know what that program is, it is a program -- educational program funded by the State Highway Office of Highway Safety and the Meridian Police Department. So, if a -- somebody under 25 years of age gets a speeding ticket, some other type of ticket, and it's their first one, not a pattern of poor driving behavior, they do have the option to attend an Alive at 25 course, which is instructed by some of our officer certified instructors and they have the opportunity to have that ticket removed from their record and, therefore, not go on their insurance or count for points against them on their insurance. We are, I believe, the only agency in the -- in the valley that is still actually providing this program. So, it is very well attended and our officers have stayed very dedicated to the program. Simison: Council, questions? Bernt: Mr. Mayor? Page 93 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 4 of 21 Simison: Councilman Bernt. Bernt: With my driving record do they have Alive after 55? Basterrechea: You know, that may be a great idea. I will -- I will try to pitch that and maybe I will become famous for pitching that. Simison: I was going to go the opposite. Is that preventative as well? Because I have got a child who I think is going to be -- will find her way into that ticket. Can you get -- do it in advance? Basterrechea: You can't do it in advance, but you can take the class in advance to help them learn more about proper driving behaviors. Simison: But, then, they lose their ability to get those points removed in the future? Basterrechea: You know, I'm not sure about that, but I can say this, my son has had to attend this course. Borton: Mr. Mayor? Perreault: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Borton. Borton: So, to that point, Tracy, I love this program. I had both my boys do it,just because it's -- it's a phenomenal program and most insurance companies, for any parent, will offer a discount on your insurance rate for having taken the class for your youth who do it, so there is a proactive benefit for doing it financially, as well as for the safety of the kids. So, outstanding program. Simison: Council Woman Perreault. Perreault: Thank you. Is this -- are the classes provided valley wide, meaning that any -- anybody can attend or is it just Meridian residents or just individuals who have received citations in the City of Meridian or how does that work? Basterrechea: So, it is provided -- if somebody from another jurisdiction has received a citation, they can attend our course as well. Perreault: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Perreault. Perreault: But -- but those jurisdictions aren't being requested to participate in a financial way? Page 94 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 5 of 21 Basterrechea: Those jurisdictions have chosen to not provide this training any further for their own -- their own reasons, but Meridian has stayed dedicated to the program, realizing that every person that comes through the program, whether they have received a citation in another jurisdiction are not, are going to be driving on our roadways as well. So, we feel like we have an obligation and a -- a duty to provide anyone of these -- anybody under the age of 25 with the opportunity to become better drivers. Simison: And Nampa -- Nampa is also a provider of this course in the Treasure Valley. Go ahead, Council Woman Perreault. Sorry. Perreault: Sorry, Mr. Mayor. So, what is the -- what is the participation from -- you said that this is in coordination with the state as well. What does their participation look like? Basterrechea: The Office of Highway Safety is who provides the funding for us. Simison: Council, any additional questions for the chief? Do I have a motion? Bernt: Who is the liaison? Simison: Mr. Cavener is not here. Bernt: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Bernt. Bernt: I move that we approve a budget amendment the amount of 20,200 dollars for the Alive at 25 grant funding that's been presented by Chief Basterrechea. Hoaglun: Second the motion. Simison: I have a motion and a second to approve the FY-22 budget amendment in the manner of 20,200 dollars. Is there discussion? Perreault: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Perreault. Perreault: One more quick question. Is this just -- is this for fiscal year 2122 or is it calendar year of '22? Simison: Fiscal Year. Perreault: Okay. Thank you. Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? Page 95 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 6 of 21 Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Just a quick comment. It is a very good program. Thanks, chief, for keeping that going and it's very worthwhile. Borton: Here. Here. Simison: With that ask the Clerk to call the roll. Roll call: Borton, yea; Cavener, absent; Bernt, yea; Perreault, yea; Hoaglun, yea; Strader, absent. Simison: All ayes. Motion carries and the item is agreed to. MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT. 15. Mayor's Office: Strategic Plan Execution Update Simison: Next item up is Item 15, the Mayor's Office Strategic Plan execution updates. I will turn this over to Mr. Koontz. Koontz: Good afternoon and, Mr. Mayor and Members of Council, it's my distinct holiday pleasure to present to you the biannual execution update of our city's 2021 to 2025 Strategic Plan. Last week I sent a memo outlining some of the key updates and progress that's occurred during 2021 and I'm here to discuss and highlight some of that key work. Is the presentation up? Okay. All right. For our agenda tonight --so, we will have a recap of what occurred during 2021 . An update by focus area on some of the work that's been achieved and we will -- we will be achieved with relation to the goals and what will be happening in 2022 and answering any questions that you might have on the strategic plan. So, during 2021 our city departments and leadership developed the strategies and tactics to achieve the goals that were adopted by City Council in late 2020. The departments began execution on key work in the plan and we started engagement with City Council on many key topics, such as our urban renewal districts, urban forestry plan, Linder Road overpass, code and policy updates and many many more. There is certainly a busy year with many important execution items in the plan. And I'm going to take these by focus area and we have the six focus areas in the plan. So, the first one is under responsible growth. I'm going to highlight some of the key aspects that achieve the goals. The first ones are going to be under our urban renewal district and growth tools. Last week you approved -- or finished approving the last urban renewal district, the Linder District, Northern Gateway, and Union District amendment were all approved and adopted in order to spur investment and improve infrastructure. With these districts created we have an opportunity to invest in these areas. So, I want to thank you, City Council, for investing and using these key tools to manage our growth responsibly. Under goals related to responsible -- sorry -- our Comprehensive Plan, we adopted The Fields District that will ensure that northwest Meridian has a unique character and long-term plan for development. Parks and Recreation is currently updating their master plan to better Page 96 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 7 of 21 reflect the desires of our community, our Comprehensive Plan, and strategic plans in order to provide premier amenities that the community desires. City Council and the Planning Department worked on the open space and amenities updates to the residential subdivisions and will continue providing premier amenities well into the future with that key update and approval from City Council. Under transportation and infrastructure, one that's near and dear to Mayor Simison, we -- we have a couple under arterial roadways and efficient travel for that goal. We recently got a -- the Linder overpass -- ACHD completed and awarded Keller and Associates the RFQ for -- for that. So, that was recently done. The cooperative development agreement draft is currently in review for Linder Road overpass, with a target of Q1 or Q2 for achievement of that. Lake Hazel and Eagle Road, improvements to Discovery Parks and other key highlights. Agreement between Brighton and ACHD to widen Eagle Road between Lake Hazel and improvements to Discovery Park before phase two opens. That was a -- that was a really good initiative for transportation infrastructure. On ACHD's integrated five year work plan we saw modifications and updates to that at the request of our Transportation Commission and our Planning Department. Amity Road/Locust Grove intersection with pedestrian improvements to Mary Mac Elementary is now moved up for construction to FY-24 and Ustick Road between Ten Mile and Black Cat have now moved up to FY-24 for construction as well. Under pathways connections for parks, the Five Mile pathway bid winner recently started half of the striping between Ten Mile and Meridian Road and they are currently working on bringing in additional signage for many of our wayfinding tools and pathways. Under our business and economic vitality we had significant -- we had significant things in -- in community engagement under business community engagement and our targeted job creation and business visitation, we were able to visit 11 businesses this year. A lot of -- a lot of businesses -- previous year we are not able to visit because of COVID, but we were able to get with United Heritage, CompuNet, Fiberon, Keller Associates, JUB, and Western States Equipment. Another highlight for business and economic vitality is the commercial project manager program. That position will be guiding large projects for the business community to ensure proper -- proper execution and meeting our premier standard for service delivery with those business clients. We also collaborated on the -- with the Chamber with the first annual State of Downtown and we were able to highlight many of the key projects that are going on downtown and just start that relationship with those business customers and our Chamber -- Chamber members. As far as job growth it was pretty substantial in 2021. So, we added approximately 200 jobs in the industrial sector, 200 to 300 jobs in IT services, and over a hundred in professional -- professional services. One -- one key thing we wanted to highlight was Red Aspen, a homegrown company. They are -- you approved a new 30,000 square foot facility on a three acre site on Overland and Linder for their new headquarters and distribution expansion. And, then, several other -- several others, like JST Manufacturing, added 50 jobs with a new 60,000 square foot facility for semiconductor, optoelectronics, biomedical and other clean industry. So, a lot of really good positive economic growth that's happened in Meridian in this past year. Under public health and safety, Council helped approve the Fire Station 7 and 8 for--for--for improving outcomes of response and risk reduction efforts and both of those are going to improve response times in northwest and southeast Meridian. The design developments are currently underway under both stations. The Fire Department also completed and Page 97 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 8 of 21 develop their strategic plan as part of the CFPE accreditation process for the department. The three year plan also aligns fire's plan with the city plan, as well as specific operational goals and criteria for the future. Under PD, the Youth Safety Academy engaged with youth in the community to build partnerships and awareness of law enforcement. The property crimes partnerships with the business community also resulted in over 20,000 dollars worth of property being recovered from citizens and prosecution of -- of criminal element. So, we invited the public to participate in -- on promotional boards with our command staff lieutenants for the first time. City Council also approved the northwest precinct for northwest Meridian, which should improve operational efficiency and logistics and effectiveness. We also approved the captain's roles, which will allow for enhanced operational effectiveness and achieving long-term strategic initiatives for the Police Department. Under vibrant sustainable community under program offerings and livability, we participated in -- with AARP livability initiative. We are now a member of the Age Friendly Net community. We conducted a town hall in October of 2021 to allow our community to outline key steps and key milestones with the program. We are going to continue to work with focus areas and survey efforts to identify opportunities in the program framework in the near future. As far as premier open spaces, Parks brought before you their Parks Lake View Master Plan and was presented to City Council. They have recently received golf carts in August and are waiting to receive maintenance equipment in the near future to enhance the overall golf course -- just the look and feel and the -- the premier amenity that live there. The urban forestry plan was presented to Council and updates were made based on feedback and that will -- that will be brought back to you in the near future and Discovery Park phase two in the budget was GMP -- the GMP contract was approved by Council in last November or December. Targeted teen amenities, the skatepark and bikepark are currently in the design build process at this point and for government excellence, which I'm partial to, under innovating operations, the innovation and change academy had a pretty successful year. We had 31 ideas submitted from staff. We worked on 14 projects, which saved approximately 600 hours of staff time on nonvalue added work. We trained 17 personnel on innovation 101 classes and one -- one project we wanted to highlight was the QLPE process in the community development. We managed to shave seven days off of waiting on project approval by eliminating a requirement for payment at a certain point in the process, which caused delays in project start. So, that was one -- one improvement that we made from one of our innovations in that area and it really saved a lot of time for our business customers. For HR they had some self service tools in hiring. HR services had a couple of wins this year with the policies and -- policy and procedure update that you saw, but the Fire Department's also going to be looking at that and that will be brought back shortly, probably in the next month or two. They deployed the e-recruit tool for hiring and recruiting. This provides much greater flexibility and for internal and external users to -- and took into account a lot of feedback from customers, from external users and internal users. It's a great partnership with IT, HR, and all city departments. HR recently just made all job descriptions and pay information available on the internet for all employees for internal transparency and look to do more in the future. And as far as ongoing plan execution, during 2022 we will make any needed updates to strategies and tactics in order to make sure we are accomplishing the goals and we will update Council on those strategies. We will -- I will work with the community on our strategic plan site, sharing Page 98 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 9 of 21 information on completions, how we are achieving the goals, as well as working to theme key community activities, VR communication platforms by the six focus areas. So, we would like to -- we would like to make a better emphasis on that this year where we are talking through and talking about, you know, what are we doing in responsible growth with the community? What are we doing in transportation infrastructure? What are we doing in all those key areas to highlight some of those things this year. So, that's one -- one effort we are going to --we are going to focus on this year. Our departments will continue to engage with City Council on priority topics throughout the year and I will send an update in March based -- with progress, communications, and additional updates at that time. And with that I will stand for any questions. Simison: Thank you, Vincent. Council, any questions? And you are welcome to take them offline with Vincent afterwards as well, if necessary, but -- Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor, just a rhetorical question. How do you top that next year, so -- it's to be seen. But that was a very productive year and a lot of important things got move forward and certainly we have to continue that. So, appreciate that effort by everyone in the city. Know it's just not you, Vincent, but -- Simison: And we do have the subject matter experts. Many of them were asked to be in the room for this portion this evening, if you do want to ask them questions about any of the items that were worked on or where it might lead us in the future. Okay. Then, with that, thank you, Vincent. Thank you all for being here and you are welcome to stay for downtown parking requirements if you would like as well, so -- or you can leave that for Caleb. 16. Community Development Department: Parking Requirements Review Simison: So, with that next item -- why we are all waiting -- is for our Community Development Department parking requirements review. Mr. Hood. Hood: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Members of Council. As the Mayor just mentioned, I'm going to run through our current parking standards with you all. Downtown may be of interest to you, but we are looking to pull together our UDC focus group, which is made up of some of our stakeholders, everybody from citizens to engineers, to developers, to architects, landscape architects. We get them together about twice a year and look at our code. Planning is kind of a standing agenda item for that group to look at and as mentioned -- noted in the memo that I put in your packet for tonight, we have had some changes to parking standards over the last couple of years, but it seems to be a moving target and I don't know that we have got it right, so that's why I'm here is to, again, let you know that we will be talking about parking with those stake --that stakeholder group, UDC focus group at the start of the year and anticipate bringing some potential code changes to you probably later in the spring sometime. So, wanted to get out in front of that a little bit with you, because I do know multi-family, restaurants, and downtown in particular have all coming up over the past six months or so through development review, public hearings So, just wanted to make sure we are headed down the right track and meet expectations. Page 99 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 10 of 21 1 don't know exactly what's going to happen with the UDC focus group or what issues they may have or bring up, but, again, I want to make sure we are generally rowing in the same direction here. So, again, in the memo I put out some of the UDC requirements. I'm just going to summarize those really briefly. The UDC does break our parking requirements out into two sections. So, residential and non -- nonresidential makes -- makes good sense. So, then, for the residential section we have a table that shows how many car parks are required and it's based on per bedroom. So, one and two bedroom requires a certain amount, three and four, and, then, five and above for residential and, then, multi- family is in there as well and, then, for nonresidential or commercial and industrial standards they are broken into traditional neighborhood districts, which include our Old Town district or downtown, commercial and industrial. For most nonresidential -- so, commercial districts, one car park for every 500 square feet of gross floor area is required. That's -- that's the standard for 90 some percent, probably, of all nonresidential projects. In downtown -- for Old Town zoning -- it's been several years now, but we did change the standard to be half of that. So, one per 1,000 in downtown and some of that was to facilitate growth. We were pretty stagnant and weren't seeing a lot of things happen and this was one of the things we thought that could spur some interest in some redevelopment potential downtown. That plus a lot of the lots downtown are older and smaller and so providing on-site parking can be difficult for a lot of parcels downtown. There is also some other standards for Old Town. You get a credit for the building that you have. So, if you have got a thousand square feet, you don't have to provide another car park for that, you are basically grandfathered in, if you will, with any existing space. When you do an addition or a remodel you have to provide the code required standards, but you are allowed a credit, too, in Old Town. So, that's kind of the baseline standards, again, for residential and nonresidential. Industrial is one per 2,000. So, pretty low standard. I don't know if anyone else has experienced any problems. We usually don't get too many complaints about being overparked or underparked in an industrial site. I think that's a pretty good standard to have. I will just mention -- we do get some nonindustrial uses in industrial areas; right? So, churches will often move into an industrial -- what was -- what was originally constructed for something for industrial and, then, they take that space over and they can be underparked. Same with like karate, fitness studios, those types of things also tend to move into those areas sometimes and it can create parking problems. But just for industrial users I believe that standard is appropriate. The fire marshal did do a little bit of -- more research. I don't know if he's constantly doing research, but he did some specific site checks here recently. Unfortunately, he's not here today. Joe Bongiorno is who I'm referring to. But he does want to be part of this conversation. He will be part of that UDC focus group I mentioned. He does want to share some additional information on his findings, his thoughts with you all as we go through this effort again. Particularly apartment complexes, he's had some concerns with. I kind of mentioned it at the beginning, but we did change our standard for multi-family projects where we now require one guest parking for every ten units. So, that's relatively new. So, a lot of things you see on the ground don't actually have that instituted yet, because they were approved, you know, so recently that they haven't built and they are not occupied yet, so I don't know how well that's working. A little bit more time will tell on that. I will -- just a final note I have, I guess, as I open the floor for -- for feedback you have. In UDC 11-3C-7, which is just the next standard after it says how Page 100 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 11 of 21 many car parks you need, we do have an alternative compliance section and most of the projects downtown that are of any size do go through that process typically with the MDC board and recommend to the Planning Department to the city either approval or denial of alternative compliance, those baseline standards that I just mentioned to you for Old Town, which is one per thousand. Both of the major projects that we have going on right now-- both went through the alternative compliance sections. I'm not going to go into the details of those, but they -- they are providing less than what would be just required by the baseline code and that's something that they have to convince, again, the MDC board that whatever they are doing doesn't create a nuisance for downtown, that there is enough parking. A lot of times that can be them providing shared parking agreements, carpooling options, proof that transit is going to go by and that they are providing bus passes. Encouraging ride sharing, providing bike storage on site, those types of things. So, again, there are some things in our code that say if you want to reduce that parking standard here are some of the things you must address in that and go through our urban renewal agency to make a recommendation if you want a lessor parking standard. So, I guess with that, just setting the stage and that's kind of the -- the areas that we were planning on talking about with this UDC focus group. Again, looking for any feedback you may have as we jump back into looking at those standards. Simison: Thank you, Caleb. And, Council, maybe one of the questions I would ask you to -- as you provide feedback is do you have a current floor in your own mind of what level parking should exist out there that you want to share, for them to start looking at and provide feedback, as I think that that's an important part is to give the group your thoughts and let them go truth them out or not from that standpoint, if you have it. Perreault: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Perreault. Perreault: First of all, I have a quick question for Caleb and, then, I will answer the question you just posed. Caleb, what is considered vertically integrated residential? Can you kind of give me a definition for that? Hood: Sure. Mr. Mayor, Council Woman Perreault, yeah, vertically integrated -- typically, historically, has a nonresidential user on the bottom. So, retail, office, restaurant, those types of things and, then, second, third, and above floors are typically residential. They can also have office on like a second or third floor, but -- but it's a mix of uses vertically integrated. So, you have at least some level one or two floors typically of nonresidential with one or more residential floors above. Perreault: Follow up, Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Perreault. Perreault: So, Caleb, why are those parking standards treated differently than multi-story and multi-family? Page 101 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 12 of 21 Hood: Yeah. Mr. Mayor, Council Woman Perreault. So, I believe some of the thought behind that is typically we are going to see vertically integrated product is in an urban setting where you have a mix of uses and it's usually pretty dense and the thought there is not as many people will need to drive to locations and, therefore, won't need as many vehicles to get around. So, in theory you can be a single car household or even carless and be able to get your groceries and your job and your entertainment all within walking or riding distance of where those things are typically constructed. They are not typically constructed in the suburbs, you know, in the middle of subdivisions, they are constructed in a downtown, mixed use, transit friendly environment. Perreault: Thank you. I -- you know, I -- I don't think -- I don't personally think that we are a large enough metro area yet to minimize that to one stall. I don't think that we -- we aren't quite there yet where we have enough business downtown and employment opportunities in the downtown setting to keep folks walking to work. I just -- I don't think that we are there yet and I have seen that be our biggest issue downtown is this one -- especially as we have talking about these new URD developments having one space for a three bedroom apartment or, you know, one space per-- I think that's how that's set up. On the -- the chart it just said one bedroom pretty much for any size of apartment. That is maybe those -- in my opinion those parking standards should be the same as what they are in the multi-family until we get to such a place that it -- you know, folks can work and live downtown and that we have enough residents who can -- you know, there is a -- the right ratio of employment to residents in the downtown sector and, then, also apartments -- you know, families are living in apartments now. The cost of housing is such that apartments are becoming longer term residential solutions for people and so I really think we need to consider increasing our parking requirements for -- for apartment complexes for multi-family, because I don't -- I don't think this challenge is probably going away and I think that we are going to continue to have hearings like we have had recently where cars are spilling out into the street and I don't see that challenge -- I see that challenge getting worse as more and more people are living in apartments long term, because they can't afford single family. So, I definitely think that the concept of providing more parking, so that it forces people not to have to drive is not -- is not a philosophy that's currently working. It will get there, I believe, but it's not happening right now. Simison: Thank you. Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Thanks, Mr. Mayor. Caleb and Miranda, I -- I tend to agree with Council Member Perreault. I, too, over the past year really researched and understand kind of this movement to kind of carless communities and having that being somewhat ambitious. You know, taxpayer subsidized so much related to the personal vehicle and I can appreciate the desire to try and shift away from that and plan for residential that doesn't require a significant amount of space for storage of vehicles, but I'm kind of like Council Member Perreault, I just don't think that we are even close to being there yet in Meridian. Page 102 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 13 of 21 So, I'm -- I think my comments fall in line with -- with my other Council Member. I would ask maybe just a couple other items for consideration or vetting with --with the UDC focus group and that is around electric vehicle charging stations. Boise has some plans around that. Nampa. Caldwell. I'm not aware that we do. Full disclosure. I own an electric vehicle. I have owned EVs for almost ten years. But I think that as particularly states start doing away with combustible engine vehicles, this is something we are going to be forced to, you know, build a plan about at some point or another. So, I think earlier rather than later seems to make sense to me. And, then, just further conversation, particularly in multi-family in downtown, around bike parking and bike storage, if we have got the right matrix there or if we need to do something a little bit different for downtown or in multi- family. So, those are my only comments. Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Caleb, appreciate you tackling this project. We have had lots of discussions about parking and different things. I want to start out with commercial and, then, move to residential. In your -- your memo here, you know, you talked about commercial projects, one parking spot is required for every 500 square feet of floor area and -- except restaurants and I think storage facilities are exceptions. But, you know, as I think about that, you know, there is a lot of -- and does that apply -- I guess here is my first question -- does that apply to strip malls or is that so each one, depending on the square footage, that determines the parking or is there extra added to that, because there is a grouping of them? Caleb: Mr. Mayor, Councilman Hoaglun, yeah, it will be gross floor area of that project, if I'm understanding your question correctly. So, depending on how it builds out, typically, you know, you are getting one building permit per building. So, if we know the tenant we will assign the required car parks based on -- so, if it's a restaurant or if it's a strip mall and a portion of it's a restaurant, you would have to provide the higher ratio for that portion of the building. So, it is proportionate depending on the user. Hoaglun: So, Mr. Mayor, to follow up -- and Caleb. And that's -- that's what I thought, but, you know, I tried to think of an example -- you take 1,200 square feet, they just got one segment and there are several of those and even if they are professional services, you know, I thought, okay, what if it's an audiologist where they got 1 ,200 square feet, maybe 1 ,500 if you want that much room, but they have got a receptionist, they have a technician and they have got the doctor and you have three people that require three parking spaces. You know, there is no -- we don't allow for customers in that and not -- granted, not that they are going to have 20, 30 people, but even if they have two or three we have that area that, well, are we really covering that? So, that's just--just a comment. I thought that just seems -- seems odd. We may cover four employees, but unless there is something in there that is in addition to how many estimated staff there will be for that. So, maybe that's where I'm missing out on, if you could answer that. Page 103 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 14 of 21 Caleb: Yeah. There wasn't really a question there. I think you have got it. I do -- before we move on -- leave -- leave commercial anyways, I probably should have mentioned this just in my original presentation, but our philosophy on parking is not to tell businesses how many car parks they need. They -- they know better than we do how much parking they are going to need. So, even if they have 1,200 square feet they should know they have got three employees and there is nowhere for their customers to park. So, really, our code is set up to make them think about how much. It's the bare minimum. Like you can't provide any less than that. Ninety-nine percent of all businesses are going to provide more than what we require, because they need more. One per 500 is not enough. I will just be honest with you. It's not. But, again, the success and how much parking they need is going to vary by user and that's -- and, again, if the philosophy is wrong and we want to get into that and say, you know what, a doctor's type of a business, you need to provide one per this and if you are going to be retail you need to provide one per that. We can do that. But we -- you know, it's kind of hands off and saying you want to be successful and have people come to your business, you are going to provide the parking you need. You got to have some parking, though, and that's where we step in. So, should probably have started with that and say, you know, this isn't meant to say it's the ceiling, it really is the floor and you probably want to provide something that's probably at least two times our standard and we -- we typically do get that. Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: Thanks for that clarification, Caleb. Yeah. And I think we need to be strong about recommending more and whatnot and we do have some areas in town where we have strip malls where they were professional or they are vacant and restaurants have moved in and it has caused problems, as we all know in several areas. So, I think that's something we have to take a look at. Have the -- have the committee talk about what -- what those look like and be prepared for, because they could be where you have the 1,200 square feet, they combine the properties and, yeah, maybe they thought, well, there is three staff per and, then, you have five more for customers, even though we may have three, but that gives us eight and we are good. All of a sudden they combine them and it's a restaurant, it just changed the whole dynamic for that. So, that -- that's something they can -- they can tackle. I think Council Woman Perreault brought up an interesting deal with -- and others about the vertically integrated residential. Working in another city in another time in my life, you know, there was a massive undertaking for downtown redevelopment, but with that development came parking garages as developed by the -- the development corporation and working together to make that work. So, yes, the one per dwelling unit -- it was combined in conjunction with other things that help fund and doing things that I don't think we are there yet, but we have to be thinking about that how -- and we are now with our current RFP with MDC and what we need to do. I just think we have to be aggressive in that and not do it as an afterthought, but part of -- as part of the whole --whole thing. So, how we tackle that I'm not sure, but we are -- our downtown is going to grow, that's a great thing, but with that we have to make sure we are not underparked. Interesting just an aside -- and it's been some time ago -- about six months Page 104 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 15 of 21 ago at least -- I read a fascinating article about driving and the use of electric vehicles and how, according to these experts and the studies they are doing, with the electric vehicle that prohibition of driving because I'm emitting fossil fuels and, you know, it's bad for the environment is taken away and their projection is that there will be an increase of vehicles on the road as electric vehicles and other better forms of transportation come online, which I found fascinating, because that changes the dynamic. You think, oh, downtown, they are integrated, walkability, and people don't want to drive, but all of a sudden they have an electric vehicle and they can drive and feel fine about that, that -- that may change that dynamic. So, it's just one of those things. If I find the article I will pass it on, but it was just one of those thought pieces that -- trying to think ahead. What does this look like if we have, you know, 80 percent of the people driving electric vehicles and all of a sudden they are saying there is more vehicles on the road and in need of parking places. So, that was kind of a head scratcher. But we do have to kind of look at all these things. To move into -- if I might, Mr. Mayor, residential and one of the items that I was interested to hear when we had a hearing here a few weeks ago for a multi-family deal and their standard for parking -- we use 1.5, they use 1.7 and I thought, well, that was interesting. Now, I don't know if all the dynamics were the same or if that was just for the one bedroom, 1.7, because, then, as you go to two to three we have two dwelling units per -- two per dwelling unit for two and three and, then, three or four dwelling units, but I thought, well, that's an interesting -- interesting change and I ran a bunch of different projections and I think that's worth considering. I think we have to think about the dynamic that has occurred in the last two years and if it continues to occur with pandemics and the housing market that the pricing is so high that people can't afford and there -- there is more people coming together, I see it in our subdivision, which is single family homes, three bedroom home and there are seven vehicles parked out front and they are not all related and, fortunately, there is a common area they can accommodate all vehicles, but this is also happening in the multi-family and so I think we kind of have to look at that. Do we consider in a hundred bed -- in a hundred unit apartment complex if you were to say, well, 20 of those are going to be one bed, 20 are going to be four bed and 60 are going to be the two to three bedroom and you calculate our standard and, then, with the ten extra per dwelling, so that's one per ten and a hundred units, that's another ten, my -- I came to 220 units, but if you look at things where, okay, if we take the one bedrooms and they are at 1.5, you raise that 1.7, instead of 30 you have 34, or if you go 1.8 you have 36 instead of 30. Because if you have a couple living there and, then, they -- you are going to have two per, but you move that up a bit. Same with the four bedroom, you try to determine, okay, if you have those 20 it requires three per four. So, there is 30 for those ten units, but you are going to have people sharing and you are going to have four vehicles for that four -- four bedroom complex. Well, if you raise that up you are going to have 40, now you are up to 70 instead of 60 for that additional ten and that's just an example. And, then, two to three bedrooms same thing, you have to kind of figure if you add 2.35, you know, based on the two to three bedrooms for that, you know, instead of 220 for all the calculations that are under our -- if I did my numbers right for our required parking spaces, now you are up to 256. So, I don't know what the formula is. That's just me playing around with some numbers trying to figure that out, you know, just to say, okay, how -- how does it reflect reality? What is reality I guess is what I'm trying to figure out. And we don't know, but we can look at the things and -- and Chief Bongiorno had Page 105 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 16 of 21 gone through and talked about some areas where there is open -- the internal lots are open, but people are parking on the streets for convenience. So, how do we address that? And the last thing on -- on these multi-family, Caleb, I would want to talk about and, again, looking at -- when my wife and I walk in our neighborhood and the driveway is full, because they have their vehicles, but the service vehicle is parked either in the driveway -- they might have the car in the garage or it's parked out front on the street and that's fine. There is room for it. But so many people are -- are on call that are professional services that, rightly so, when my, you know, furnace decides to quit at midnight and I need heat and I can call someone, they are going to respond, jump in their vehicle and head over, but that apartment complex -- can it handle a large service vehicle parked there and we kind of talked about that at one of our hearings, about -- with the lineman's college bringing their vehicles there and it's -- it's a reality, people have to live someplace and many of people are on call. So, how do we handle those plumbing vehicles and heating and cooling vehicles and maybe they work for Idaho Power and certainly services that we want -- are there going to be spots that you can park an oversized rig in some of these places and maybe it's not a lot of spots, but is it four or five that are available for that sort of thing. Just something else for them to look at, to chew on. I don't know what the answer is, but something -- something to consider, so I think, Mr. Mayor, that's all I have for now. Hood: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Yes, Mr. Hood. Hood: Before I move on to any other feedback, I want to just ask for some clarification, because Council Woman Perreault mentioned this as well and Mr. Hoaglun did as well. On-street parking. Is that something that--when it's not signed, you know, not-- because sometimes the street's too narrow and you can't park either on one side or both sides, because the street's so narrow. But when you can is that a problem? I don't want to read too much in your comments, but I kind of get the sense that you are opposed to just on- street parking, even if the street's wide enough to accommodate on-street parking and still get vehicles by and ACHD signed off on the street. So, I'm trying to understand -- even the project that was north of--on Meridian Road here, that-- parking is legal. People complain about it, but it's legal -- they are legally parked. But is that an issue that we need to address in this and prohibit parking adjacent to multi-family potentially or even single family residential? Simison: So, Caleb, you stole my thunder -- Hood: Sorry. Simison: -- because -- yeah. That's okay. You are allowed to do that. But that was my -- and it's great that we got the two chiefs here, because the question I want to ask them is do they think we should eliminate parking on roads and require all parking to be only done on the property that the -- that the unit is there for? If so let's reduce our road standards and only make them wide enough for our vehicles to get down and not worry Page 106 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 17 of 21 about parking on them, because it is a cost where we are making people put in roads to a certain width and if our direction or desire is not to have parking on the roads, then, make the road smaller and make the cost cheaper and put it into the -- into the property that's responsible for that, you know, because you didn't ask my opinion on this yet, but my opinion is I have no issue with people parking on the roads, because that's what they are there for. In fact, I think there is things we could do and probably in some of our other codes where we can make it easier for people to park on the roads by not allowing, you know, the issues we had with the mailboxes. Mailboxes take up potential parking that would be allowed in residential areas and by changing those requirements you could -- you could change that. But I think that is a fundamental question that I think Council needs to have a -- have a viewpoint on, is if you are -- if your expectation is that roads are not parking vehicles on, whether it's around commercial, whether it's around residential, whether it's in downtown or anywhere, what is the expectation? Because that's huge. That -- that can be a -- somewhat of a game changer if it's only park on your property, what you are responsible for and, you know, not -- not asking any Council to make that determination today. I think it is a conversation piece, just as Caleb mentioned. Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor, I will just -- Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: A couple things to weigh in on that, Caleb. You know, originally coming in you look at that and, yeah, let's -- let's keep cars off and make it open and different things, but, yet, when people talk about speeding in -- on these roads and in their subdivision, the more cars that you have and more things that are actually as a deterrent to going fast. So, I kind of -- kind of changed my outlook on that going, you know, that -- that kind of makes it something that actually helps with -- with the speed that people complain about and changed my thinking about that a little bit. So, I certainly want to make sure we are not, you know, blocking stop signs or having distances and the fire hydrants and all that is certainly doable. You know, when people park out front of my house it's like, wait a minute, what are they doing out in front of my house. But, yet, I didn't pay for that whole road. I mean -- and it's wide enough to park, so if there is -- and usually the neighbors are just having some birthday party or something. No biggie. But, yeah, it -- to me it's -- I have kind of come around to that a little bit that, you know what, it's not a bad thing and unless they want to build the road themselves and make it private, maybe we have to rethink that a bit, but -- so, that's -- that's -- that's -- I have kind of come around to that, allowing parking on -- on the street, so -- but I know not everyone shares that opinion, but -- so, that's -- Simison: Yeah. And I guess, you know, from a standards standpoint, Council Woman Perreault, I see that you are -- but if you are on an apartment complex on a corner and you are a 30, 40 acre complex -- or 20 acre complex and you -- and there is, you know, parking for 75 cars on the street--on the two sides that you are there is that okay? Should that matter towards your numbers or should it not? Especially if there is nothing else nearby, you know, and -- and it won't be that way forever, but it's just a good thought -- point. Council Woman Perreault. Page 107 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 18 of 21 Perreault: Thank you. I don't mind the on-street parking. What I -- where I think there is challenges is when -- when it's not dedicated -- when there aren't -- either isn't signage or there aren't spots specifically marked off. So, if -- you know, in a downtown area you have parallel parking. There are spots that are already marked. They exist specifically to be parked on the street. But when you have a lot of these streets in residential areas, a collector, for example, that has -- that's wide enough to have parking on both sides, but there is nothing that designates how many parking spots should be there and, you know, that they are not striped to have parking there and I just think it could be something as simple of a solution as, you know, having better signage and better markings. Now, that's an ACHD thing and not something that we oversee, but I don't see why we couldn't have a conversation with them if we are continually running into areas where there are issues -- specific areas of the city where there is issues where it's intended for on-street parking, but there is -- the behavior is causing safety challenges. So, that's my thought on the on- street parking. I'm not opposed to it. I want to be careful about how much we rely on it, of course, but there are some -- some of the residential developments that we have approved specifically have the on-street parking for visitors or a third space or whatnot. So, those I don't think we need to take away. It's -- it's more of a -- and it seems to me like some of the conversations that we have had recently have been about existing communities, not the new communities. So, we can't do anything about that -- about the existing communities until there is an actual application that comes up when we have a conversation. But as far as new developments, I don't mind the on-street parking, but I really think having it well marked would be helpful. I just wanted to address something very quickly regarding what Council -- Councilman Hoaglun mentioned. You know, yes, the chief has gone out and -- and looked at several developments and found that there is plenty of spaces available within the elements themselves and, yet, people are still parking on the street. Two reasons why I think that's happening and that I think are actually fairly easy to solve. The first is we talked about the sizes of the vehicles not fitting into the spots that belong -- you know, that exist in those developments and so some of -- some of the ways that, you know, if -- if, for example, the hearing that we had a few weeks ago they had up to 60 additional spots that were open, so widen some of those. That's not complicated. Make 50 spots and make some of them longer and wider and the other thing is is that I know from --from recently having lived in an apartment complex in transition between houses, I didn't want to open up my door into a metal post that was holding up the carport. Why are the metal posts sitting in the middle of the -- why can't there be metal posts on the front of the space and the back of the space, so you are not opening your door into a metal post. A lot of folks don't park under the carports, because they don't want to get their doors dinged up and the -- the designs of some of those carports are really poor. So, I think that's a significant reason I saw in my neighborhood why people didn't want to park in the carport, because they just didn't want to get -- they didn't want to have to try to open the door and squeeze it into this tiny space. So, I think there is a couple of fairly easy -- easily solvable issues that don't require us to necessarily increase the parking standard, it's maybe how we design how the parking is done. Simison: Councilman Borton, Councilman Bernt, just want to make sure we give you -- either of you time before we come to close today. Page 108 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 19 of 21 Bernt: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Always getting in before Joe. Sorry. Councilman Bernt. Joe likes to go last anyways. Bernt: Okay. So, sorry, Joe. I don't need to add a lot to what's been said. You know, the only -- the only thing that I -- after -- you know, going through Caleb's memo -- well done. Very informational. Was just a vertically integrated residential component with the downtown -- the downtown area. I get asked all the time -- I live downtown. I get my haircut downtown. I -- you know, get my hot beverages downtown and a lot of places -- a lot of friends own businesses downtown. So, if I don't have to leave downtown I'm not going to and those that know me know that that's just how it works; right? And so when I'm walking downtown I get hit up all the time by businesses with questions about lack of parking, I have to inform them that, you know, not an issue right now, you know. Only 49 percent of what we have downtown is being used. People don't know that they can park in the Keller building. People don't know that they can park at the Masonic Lodge. People don't know that they can park at the COMPASS building. There is actual, you know, public parking and all those -- in all those areas and so maybe we can do a better job at -- you know, in our messaging. But that's currently and so going forward I just think that it's really important that we just dot our I's and cross your T's and do -- just make sure that, you know -- I'm not completely sold, you know, with one -- and I agree with Council Woman Perreault with -- you know, our downtown isn't quite there yet. We are working like hell to get it there and it's looking great and we are going up and it's -- you know, we are doing what we need to do, but I don't think we have the jobs -- I don't know if we have the people downtown to automatically assume that -- that -- that they are going to be walking to work or they are going to be shopping -- we don't even have -- we don't have a place for them to buy groceries downtown Meridian yet and so -- I know this -- this may be a different conversation, you know, five, ten, 15 years from now, but just -- I just would look at that a little bit more. But other than that I think everything has been discussed. Thank you. Hood: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Yes, Mr. Hood. Hood: Before we go to Mr. Borton, if you don't mind, I want to just plug -- Miranda put together a downtown parking map recently. It's actually a reinvention of one that we have been using for the past several years, but the -- some of the times have changed and where to park, Keller, for example, wasn't on the last map. So, we will get that to you. I'm going to ask Miranda right now to go ahead and just e-mail that to you. So, if you have friends, family, businesses, please, get the word out and it's a map that's very user friendly on a handheld device, so if you are, you know, driving downtown you can ask your wife say, hey, where can we park and pull it up right there and it shows where the public parking is available downtown. So, just a quick note there. Bernt: Yeah. And one last thing, Mr. Mayor. I -- you know, it's an enforcement thing as Page 109 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 20 of 21 well. You know, I was downtown this past week and picking up my truck -- you know, I was getting in my truck and -- and there was a code enforcement officer giving me a warning on my truck and I didn't know that you could park -- you couldn't back up in a parking stall. I had no idea. And so it was completely informational and she was really nice and very professional and she just let me know that, hey, I'm just giving you -- I'm like wait -- wait a minute. I'm here. Don't give me a ticket. I'm here. You know, be nice to me. And, then, she was very informational about, you know, why she was giving me a warning and so it's just -- it's just that and, you know, there are some people who are parking in front of businesses all day long, you know. Like all day long. And so -- and that's -- that -- those are really small easy fixes that we can discuss in the future, so -- Simison: Councilman -- President Bernt, it's also you have to park with the direction of traffic. Bernt: I did. Simison: I'm just pointing out there for those listening at home. Bernt: I'm just backing -- Simison: And we will go through -- through all the -- Bernt: I like to backup. I like to --you know. I didn't know you couldn't back into a parking stall. Simison: Councilman Borton. Borton: If you drive an F-750 it's hard to move that thing around as well. Bernt: Point taken. A good point. Borton: I appreciate the conversation. I don't -- I don't have anything substantive to add that hasn't been discussed. I'm glad it's coming to the focus group. This is one of those topics that should be and will be a perpetual conversation. As soon as we make UDC changes based on the focus group's work, it should go back and we will continually provide input as we develop. So, I appreciate the -- I agree with the comments and appreciate the consideration, so I have nothing substantive to add. Simison: Thank you, Councilman. Perreault: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Perreault. Perreault: One more thing and I don't know that this is necessarily something the UDC group will look at, because I don't know if it has to be a part of code, but, you know, as I Page 110 Meridian City Council Work Session Item#3. December 21,2021 Page 21 of 21 travelled around some of the -- the easiest ways to get around in the smaller downtowns have been public parking signs that go along with that map -- that coordinate with the map, that are signs that point people in the direction of where public parking is and maps that are on posts in the downtown core and that might be something that we consider looking into, so that -- because I didn't even know there was a public parking map and I -- you know, and I -- I should know that and so doubt that many of the members of the community know that as well. Simison: Thank you. There is some signs, but there is probably not signs for all, so -- okay. Bernt: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Bernt. Bernt: If there is no more discussion --we are good? I move that we adjourn the meeting. Simison: I have a motion to adjourn. All in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay. The ayes have it. We are adjourned. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT.

Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Hoaglun. Hoaglun: I'm fine with that approach. I mean it's -- it is -- Caleb let the cat out of the bag. Once people are involved and that it's that -- that train has left the station and it's a matter of, okay, where do we end up? Simison: It left 45 minutes ago, just so we are clear, so -- Hoaglun: But -- and that's why my question early on, though, about the design review committee in Old Town, because I think it has to be very specific to Old Town, possibly with stakeholders, with some involvement and knowledge of a special district that are engaged in that that -- and I have experienced with Boise's way back when when I worked for the mayor of design review and that process, but I also have that experience of when they decided what they were going to do -- when the mall wasn't going to go downtown and Mayor Kempthorne said he is not going to let downtown die and that collaborative effort that kicked off to make it what it is today, starting with that public plaza and the auditorium down -- Downtown Boise Center on the Grove, you know, we can do that same thing here. It's -- it's not going to be as large, but it's very important and -- and what we do now will be built upon for many many years to come. So, we do have to get it right and we do have a place where it's not going to be on your shoulders because you are not -- they are not -- you guys will do your part, but we need some outside help, just like we did in downtown Boise way back when to help make that a reality and bringing in the stakeholders and other people who see this as a place that is a destination and something that we can be very proud of for this community. So, I think we will get there, we will just have to work at it a little bit longer and make it a reality. Simison: So, to be continued. So, with that, Council -- Bernt: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Bernt. Bernt: I move that we adjourn the meeting. Simison: Motion to adjourn. All in favor signify by saying. Opposed nay? The ayes have it. We are adjourned.

STAFF ANALYSIS The subject property is currently a vacant .66 acre"flag lot" and is zoned C-C. There are two existing cross access easements from N. Meridian Rd. The applicant proposes to rezone the property to O-T, subdivide the property into four lots, and construct a duplex on each lot. A. Rezoning The applicant proposes to rezone from C-C to O-T to allow four duplex units. Duplexes are a principally-permitted use in the O-T zoning district and the zoning would be in conformance with the FLUM as described below. The City may require a development agreement(DA) in conjunction with a rezoning pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. As this property is already within the City,the infrastructure surrounding the property has already been installed,and all other requirements have been addressed through pertinent regulations, conditions of approval, and the design review required for the duplexes, staff is not recommending a development agreement with this rezoning. B. Future Land Use Map Designation(hgps://www.meridiancity.org/compplan) The FLUM recommends the property for Old Town. This designation includes the historic downtown and the true community center. Sample uses include offices,retail and lodging, theatres,restaurants, and service retail for surrounding residents and visitors.A variety of residential uses are also envisioned and could include reuse of existing buildings,new construction of multi-family residential over ground floor retail or office uses. The purpose of the O-T district is to accommodate and encourage further intensification of the historical city center in accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the O-T district is to delineate a centralized activity center and to encourage its renewal,revitalization and growth as the public,quasi-public, cultural, financial and recreational center of the city. Public and quasi-public uses integrated with general business, and medium high to high density residential is encouraged to provide the appropriate mix and intensity of activities necessary to establish a truly urban city center. The applicant proposes four duplexes at a total density of approximately 12 du/ac.Although the Plan does specifically mention multi-family residential over ground floor retail or office uses,the property is surrounded on three sides by existing residential and all commercial uses in the immediate vicinity are directly fronting N. Meridian Rd.As the lot is a flag lot and is behind the existing businesses(and residences) fronting N. Meridian Rd and has limited visibility, staff finds requiring retail uses impractical.Although office uses in this location are a possibility,the existing access for commercial uses is not ideal, and the FLUM does speak to a mix of uses including higher density residential. Staff finds the proposed residential uses in this area appropriate. Page 4 Page 141 Item#6. C. Comprehensive Plan Policies(https://www.meridiancity.or /g compplan): • Encourage diverse housing options suitable for various income levels,household sizes,and lifestyle preferences. (2.01.01) This application is for a rezoning from C-C to O-T to allow four duplexes on an infill site. This would allow for more diversity in housing. • Maintain a range of residential land use designations that allow diverse lot sizes,housing types, and densities.

This is an infill development. • Ensure development is connected to City of Meridian water and sanitary sewer systems and the extension to and through said developments are constructed in conformance with the City of Meridian Water and Sewer System Master Plans in effect at the time of development. (3.03.03A) This project can be serviced by City of Meridian water and sewer, and all infrastructure will be designed in conformance with City standards. D. Existing Structures/Site Improvements: The property is presently vacant. E. Proposed Use Analysis: The applicant proposes to rezone from C-C to O-T to construct 4 duplex buildings.A duplex is a principally-permitted use in the O-T zoning district subject to applicable standards for development in the traditional neighborhood districts. F. Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2): UDC 11-213-4 requires a minimum height of 35 feet and all buildings should be a minimum of 2- stories. There are no minimum setbacks in the O-T zoning district. The proposed elevations reflect buildings that are 2-stories. G. Access(UDC 11-3A-3, 11-3H-4): The subject property is a flag lot which would take access from N. Meridian Rd.via two shared driveways within common access easements. The southernmost driveway connection to N. Meridian Rd also provides access to the parking lot for the office to the south of the property. The northernmost driveway connection to N. Meridian Rd is shared with the lot west of the property. The applicant additionally proposes a common access easement for a northern stub to the property to the north(1422.N. Meridian Rd). ACHD and Fire have reviewed the proposed access configuration and have not expressed comments or concerns. Per UDC 11-3C-5,drive aisles adjacent to parking stalls(the parking in front of the duplexes)must be 25' in width. Page 5 Page 142 Item#6. H. Parking(UDC 11-3C): The applicant proposes eight(8)three-bedroom duplex units. UDC 11-3C-6 requires 4 parking spaces per dwelling unit for 3-4 bedroom units; at least 2 in an enclosed garage, other spaces may be enclosed or a minimum 10-foot by 20-foot parking pad. The concept site plan reflects two-garages and two 20 ft.x 20 ft.parking pads in front of each duplex, equaling 4 parking spaces per unit. The parking provided meets the minimum requirements of 11-3C.As required per UDC 11-3C-5, all off street parking areas and driveways into and through a parking area shall be improved with a compacted gravel base,not less than four(4)inches thick, surfaced with asphaltic pavement. I. Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17): The subject property is an internal flag lot,with the only street frontage being the driveway access. There is existing 7 ft. wide sidewalk along N. Meridian Rd. which provides pedestrian access to the property. There are existing 4 ft.wide sidewalks on both side of the northernmost driveway into the property(not on the subject property). There is a 4 ft. sidewalk on the south side of the southern driveway. The landscape plan reflects 4 ft.wide walkways along the front and back of the duplexes, as well as between all four buildings. UDC 11-3A-17 requires a minimum width of 5 ft. for sidewalks. As a condition of approval,the applicant should be required to construct a 5 ft.wide sidewalk along the northern side of the southern driveway access(which is on the subject property).Also,staff recommends the applicant work with the adjacent property owners at 1324, 1404 and 1414 N.Meridian Rd to improve and widen all sidewalks entering the property to meet the required 5 ft.width. Also,to provide a better pedestrian connection from N.Meridian Rd to the duplexes, Staff recommends as a condition of approval that sidewalk extensions be provided across the private drives that distinguish a pedestrian connection from the vehicular driving surfaces through the use of pavers,colored or scored concrete,or bricks as required by UDC 11-3A- 19-B-4. J. Landscaping(UDC 11-3B): The subject property is an interior flag lot with the only portion of the subject property adjacent to N. Meridian Rd being the 15 ft. southern driveway access. Therefore,there would be no requirement for additional landscape buffer along N.Meridian Rd associated with the current application. There are no common lots required or proposed with this short plat,although the landscape plan indicates numerous shrubs along the east-west internal walkways between each duplex building, and at the east sides(rear) of the duplexes. There is an existing 15 ft. wide City of Meridian sewer easement along the eastern perimeter of the property. There are existing trees within this sewer easement. The landscape plan indicates the applicant will work with the City Arborist to determine if any of these trees should be removed due to disease.A formal landscape plan is not required for this submittal. The UDC does not regulate landscaping on residential lots. K. Qualified Open Space (UDC 11-3U): The development is less than 5 acres in size. Thus,the requirements for common open space and amenities does not apply. L. Qualified Site Amenities (UDC 11-3U): The development is less than 5 acres in size and is not considered multifamily. Thus,the requirements for common open space and amenities does not apply. Page 6 Page 143 Item#6. M. Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7): The landscape plan indicates existing fencing being relocated or replaced along the property lines. Any new or relocated fencing should comply with fencing regulations per UDC 11-3A-7. N. Utilities (UDC 11-3A-21): There is a 15' sewer easement running north-south at the east perimeter of the property. The submitted utilities plan indicates the sewer line within this easement presently serves the existing properties adjacent to the west at 1402 and 1414 N. Meridian Rd. However,the water and sewer service for the new duplexes will be provided via service lines running west to mains in N. Meridian Rd. The site plan indicates the applicant intends to relinquish an Idaho Power Easement along the front of the duplexes. The applicant will be required to provide proof of this relinquishment prior to signature of the City Engineer on the short plat. O. Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual): Conceptual elevations were provided with this application. The elevations indicate duplexes with pitched roofs, fishscale accents, shuttered windows with lintels and windowed garaged doors. As is required by the O-T zoning district,the duplexes are at least two-stories, although the elevations do not indicate whether the minimum required 35' height is met. This project is near the downtown core and is being proposed for Old-Town zoning. Due to the visibility of these two story-buildings,design is critical to this project. The ASM for residential requires visually heavier and more massive elements or materials, such as stone or masonry, primarily at the base of buildings,and lighter elements and materials such as siding.Also,the ASM states primary building entries must be clearly defined using any unique combination of architectural elements,materials,or fagade modulation meeting other architectural standards in the Manual. At the time of design review,the elevations should provide front porches over the front doors, overhangs matching the rooflines or porches over the garage doors,and a heavier accent material around the base of the buildings.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Modification to the existing Development Agreement(Inst. #2016-097989) for the purpose of replacing the previous agreement with a new one to incorporate a new concept plan consisting of commercial and residential uses. NOTE: The Applicant has submitted revised concept plans and narrative leading to Staff changing its recommendation for denial to approval based on the changes to the proposed concept plan.Analysis has been updated in a strike-through and underline format below. II. SUMMARY OF REPORT A. Applicant: Joshua Beach,Brighton Development,Inc.—2929 W.Navigator Drive, Suite 400,Meridian, ID 83642 B. Owner: Brighton Development, Inc.— 11650 S. State Street,Draper,UT 84020 C. Representative: Same as Applicant III. STAFF ANALYSIS The existing Development Agreement (DA) for the subject property requires the entire site to be developed with commercial and office uses and incorporates two private roads through the development; one north-south road and one east-west. In 2016, Council approved a DA Modification for this site to change the internal roads from public roads to private streets. There are existing DA Page 1 Page 161 item#�. EXHIBIT A provisions regarding the desired placement of buildings along Ustick and the desired integration of pedestrian facilities throughout the site for safe pedestrian circulation that Staff finds imperative to keep within the DA to assist in compliance with mixed-use policies and the desired site design. The Applicant proposes to replace the existing DA with a new one for the purpose of incorporating a new conceptual development plan. A multi-family development is proposed to develop on the north half of the site consisting of approximately 60 apartment units,according to the submitted concept plan. Per the submitted plan and conceptual elevations,the apartment units are proposed as townhome style units in the form of two-story 3-plexes and 4-plexes with ea-eh most units having a front-loaded garage and parking pad;the revised concept plan shows the central units as alley-loaded with some of the units now fronting on the east-west street between the proposed residential area and the commercial area shown to remain. In addition, the submitted eeneeptual development plan depiets the east west st shown on the existing coneept plan as remaining but appears to be a publie road this east west road eonneets to Venable on the east boundary as the .oint for the site and also provides future eoi+neetivitt,to the west should the adjaeeat property r-edevelop in the AA-Hf-e-. In addition,this east-west street is also shown as remaining from the conceptual plan in the existing DA but is now shown as a drive aisle instead of a public street.Staff supports this change to o the plan because it offers the Applicant the opportunity to provide bulb-outs for dedicated on-street parking and street trees to provide an urban canopy proposed on the revised concept plan. The revised concept plan also shows additional pedestrian facilities within the residential portion of the site, detached sidewalks along the east-west drive aisle, and a shared plaza. The additional pedestrian facilities and the overall revisions to the site plan add more pedestrian connectivity between the proposed commercial and residential uses and offers safer circulation for pedestrians moving throughout the site. Staff can better support the revised concept plan with the revisions shown. Furthermore,-In addition, the public street stubbed to the north property boundary is shown as terminating within the site as part of the multi-family drive aisles instead of continuing through the site and connecting to Ustick Road. _-hie' eeneems Staff (4*t e analysis is bete T` Therefore, no connection to Ustick is proposed either via public street or commercial drive aisle with the new conceptual development plan. FtH:theFmer-e, a In addition, this Applicant has agreed to provide cross- access to the remainingc ounty zoned parcel at the very southwest corner property boundary of this site for future pedestrian and vehicular connectivity.This connection to Ustick would align with an existing access on the south side of Ustick and provide both projects an access point to Ustick—Staff finds it important to have this cross-access connection because of the opportunity to provide easier access to the future commercial uses on this subject site and help disperse traffic from both projects onto Ustick by having a second connection to Ustick beyond that of only Venable. As noted above, Staff can better support this revised concept plan and has proposed recommended DA provisions in line with the revised concept plan and need for cross-access to the west. A rezone application has not been submitted so the proposed multi-family use in the existing C-C zoning district will require conditional use permit (CUP) approval. Staff would analyze specific development criteria and specific use standards at the time of the CUP submittal. Off-street parking would be required per the standards listed in UDC Table 11-3C-6 for multi-family developments. Qualified open space would also be required, per the standards listed in UDC 11-4-3- 27C. Compliance with the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-27 for multi-family developments is required and would be reviewed with the CUP application. Adjustments may be necessary to the concept plan to comply with these standards and any ACHD required revisions. The subject site is part of a Mixed-Use Community(MU-C)future land use area—this designation calls for a mix of residential and commercial land uses that are thoughtfully integrated. One of the reasons the Applicant has stated for requesting this DA Modification is the subject site has sat vacant in its current configuration and entitlements for over a decade. The Applicant's revised narrative sheds Page 2 Page 162 item#�. EXHIBIT A additional light on the history of this parcel, the intention of the future land use designation, and the Applicant's justification to modify the concept plan to include multi-family residential and reduce the commercial area at this mid-mile location.Within this MU-C area,detached single-family,apartments, office/retail,and Civic uses are existing and planned(future land use designations are not parcel specific so an area of the baseball fields in Settlers Park are within this MU-C area). There is existing multi- family directly south of the subject site on the south side of Ustick; additional multi-family is approved at the southeast corner of the Venable and Ustick intersection. Directly to the east is a relatively small office park with five(5)buildings and is the only commercial component in this MU-C area. Because of the multi-family development on the south side of Ustick,this may be the only area that could develop with neighborhood serving commercial uses. During the review of the Summertown project (SEC of Venable and Ustick), staff did forego recommending a commercial component as part of that project because this property was already zoned for commercial and Staff was in favor of preserving this property for future commercial uses. Although the proposed development would be a new type of residential in this area (townhome style instead of tFaditional gaFdeH Style Walk Up ftpfftments), the submitted eoneept plan laelis many of the design eoneepts shown and outlined in the eomprehensive plan for-mixed use areas. 1H geReFfil,the futu . d area is being redueed while increasing the residential area a its impaet in this aFea Of the City with little to no neighbOFhOod SeFving eommeFeial uses. At a- minimum, the following mixed use polieies are not met with the proposed plan whereas the existing one does eomply: With the Applicant's revised narrative and concept plans, Staff finds the following mixed-use policies are better satisfied with the subject project and surrounding area: • Mixed use areas should be centered around spaces that are well-designed public and quasi- public centers of activity. Spaces should be activated and incorporate permanent design elements and amenities that foster a wide variety of interests ranging from leisure to play.These areas should be thoughtfully integrated into the development and further placemaking opportunities considered. Staff does notfind Me j9poposed eofteeps 191an meets this poUey-ffs thaughyWl integration of the mix-of it in the pfVosed eoneept .,Z.en eontp- ared to she,. ,ems,,.. a ..7.. ,.s„an • Supportive and proportional public and/or quasi-public spaces and places including but not limited to parks,plazas, outdoor gathering areas,open space, libraries, and schools that comprise a minimum of 5%of the development area are required. Outdoor seating areas at restaurants do not count towards this requirement.Based on the submitted eoneeptplan, them am not eneWh detai&to show eomp&nee i4M this plan. The pmposed muhi family resk4endal area affear-s to be isolated and no shared aiwas are shmm, as noted in this ,poUe:p. • All mixed use projects should be accessible to adjacent neighborhoods by both vehicles and pedestrians.

FuPM&wtotw, them are saiwY. Page 3 Page 163 item#�. EXHIBIT A A mixed use project should include at least three types of land uses. Exceptions may be granted for smaller sites on a case-by-case basis. This land use is not intended for high density residential development alone.As noted-, of eaeh mixed use projeet is intendedf-o ppovide at least thpee"es of land tfses-.

Overall, with the Applicant's revised concept plan, color rendering, and additional context provided within the revised narrative, Staff finds the project now complies with a majority of the mixed-use policies, provides new housing types within this area for residents of different income levels and housing preferences,and provides adequate cross-access between parcels to relieve the stress on the arterial street system. IV. DECISION A. Staff: Staff r-eeofmnends denial of the modifieation to the DA as proposed by the Applicant and finds the existing eoneept plan and DA provisions are better- suited to addfess development of the sttNeet pfepei4y. Staff recommends approval of the modification to the DA pursuant to the recommended provisions in Section VI of this report. B. The Meridian City Council heard these items on December 7, 2021.

STAFF ANALYSIS A. Future Land Use Map Designation(https://www.meridiancity.or /g compplan) Medium Density Residential—This designation allows for dwelling units at gross densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre. Density bonuses may be considered with the provision of additional public amenities such as a park, school, or land dedicated for public services. The subject site is currently zoned R-4 and the Applicant is requesting a rezone to R-8; both zoning designations comply with the future land use designation of Medium Density Residential (MDR). The proposed development is proposed as 26 single-family residential lots at a gross density of approximately 5.5 du/ac meeting the required gross density in the MDR. Single-family homes are a desired residential use in the MDR as. and the proposed development will match much of what is nearby but with smaller lots and more density, therefore offering homes at different price points than the surround R-4 sites to the north of the subject site. bW with the latest i-ede-sign 4the 191at the,�pplieant is 19repes-ing seme age�,, leaded and side leaded s-ingko- within thisfuture land use designation. F-urther site des��ana4wis is below in subsequen ef; s Staff finds the proposed development and use to be generally consistent with the future land use designation of Medium Density Residential. The City may require a development agreement(DA) in conjunction with an annexation and/or rezone pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-6511A.In order to ensure the site develops as proposed with this application, Staff recommends a DA as a provision of rezoning with the provisions included in Section HII.A1. The DA is required to be signed by the property owner(s)/developer and returned to the City within 6 months of the Council granting the rezone for approval by City Council and subsequent recordation. B. Comprehensive Plan Policies(https://www.meridiancioy.orglcompplan): The applicable Comprehensive Plan policies are cited below with Staff analysis in italics. "With new subdivision plats,require the design and construction of pathways connections, easy pedestrian and bicycle access to parks, safe routes to schools, and the incorporation of usable open space with quality amenities"(2.02.01 A). The Applicant is proposing to construct detached sidewalks along both Black Cat and Pine and add a micro pathway into the development in the northeast corner of the site. The Applicant is proposing these buffers and micro pathway as their open space;the micro pathway is also shown with a tot-lot which is intended to be a site amenity. This pedestrian connection is a nice addition, especially with it being shown within a larger common lot than originally proposed. Because of the redesign that occurred, this pedestrian connection and the new street connection to Pine Ave allows for more pedestrian and bicycle connection through the site. The proposed plat is smaller than 5 acres Page 6 Page 192 Item#8. and therefore is not required to meet the minimum 10% open space standard and the open space that is proposed within this development is largely landscape buffers that offer pedestrian connectivity but is not active in its use. The Applicant is proposing a tot lot, as mentioned, which should help activate the common lot that it is within.Despite the type of open space proposed,Fuller Park(the closest public park to the site) is approximately I mile away by foot and the proposed pedestrian connectivity should make it more efficient to reach it. Staff finds that despite the proximity of the public park, it does not alleviate the need for usable open space within this development as desired in the purpose statement of UDC 11-3G, the Common Open Space code section. Therefore,Staff finds that the Applicant should lose an internal building lot and make it a common open space lot instead. This change would help this project meet both the UDC and the Comprehensive Plan. "Reduce the number of existing access points onto arterial streets by using methods such as cross- access agreements, access management, and frontage/backage roads, and promoting local and collector street connectivity"(6.01.02B). The existing access to this site is via W. Quarterhorse Lane—a private road that other parcels located to the south and east also use as an access to Black Cat Road, an arterial street.According to the originally submitted plat, the Applicant proposed to convert the private road to a public road. The Applicant proposed the main access for this development to be from Black Cat rather than the adjacent Pine Avenue, a collector street.However,ACHD policy does not support the Quarterhorse access to Black Cat, an arterial street.As such, they have required the applicant to take access from the lesser classified street,Pine Avenue, which necessitated a redesign of the project. City code, UDC 11- 3A-3, also requires access to be taken from Pine Ave. To complicate the matter further, Quarterhorse Lane will remain as a private lane and ACHD does not have the authority to require the closure of this access. The new layout does in fact show access to Pine, a lesser classified street but the private lane access to Black Cat cannot be closed without the consent of all easement holders. Further, access prevents the extension of the 25 foot wide landscape buffer and the 5-foot wide detached sidewalk along N. Black Cat Rd. Staff is of the opinion this area should be depicted on the plat as a non-buildable lot until the easement holders consent to vacate the access—the Applicant has revised the plat to show this and will extend the landscaping and sidewalk as far south along Black Cat as possible. To ensure this lot can re-develop in the future, staff recommends the applicant provide an exhibit that demonstrates how the 25 foot wide landscape buffer and two stub streets are going to be extended in the future and how the remaining portion of the easement area can be redeveloped with the adjacentproperties. See additional discussion below in the Access section of the staff report(V.E). "Permit new development only where it can be adequately served by critical public facilities and urban services at the time of final approval, and in accord with any adopted levels of service for public facilities and services"(3.03.03F).Public services are readily available to the subject site because of the existing nearby developments to the north and west. Applicable service departments have granted their approval of the development and its impact to the system with one modification; the Water Department would like to see the water system looped through and connected to the water main in Black Cat Road to ensure better water quality is achieved. It should be noted that the Public Works Department generally does not want public infrastructure placed in Me private road easements. However, the Applicant has limited options to loop the water main in this development and must utilize the existing private access easement. Public Works has si n ed off on this location and has offered their comments re a� rding this (see Section VIILB). Page 7 Page 193 Item#8. "Slow the outward progression of the City's limits by discouraging fringe area development; encourage development of vacant or underutilized parcels currently within City limits" (4.05.03B). The subject site is near the edge of the City's limits but has City of Meridian development to its north and west. In addition, this site is currently vacant and underutilized because it is already annexed but not yet developed. The proposed development is an opportunity to develop the site adequately and remove a vacant parcel from the City. This development is also allowing the City to plan for the future use of the private road easement and for how the future road network will work in this area should it redevelop from county land and be annexed into the C "Encourage the assembly of parcels for master planning, design and entitlement purposes; discourage piecemeal annexation and development"(3.03.03J). The subjectparcel is already annexed into the City of Meridian and cannot be made part of a larger assembly of parcels at this time. The public road layout should lay the infrastructure for future connectivity of the immediate area as all parcels to the south and east that are not currently annexed into the City should have a lower classified street to access in the future. With Quarterhorse Lane being the only access for these parcels, master planning the public road network becomes even more imperative as City code and ACHD cannot support maintaining this access to Black Cat. This requires that ultimately all easement holders agree to vacate their rights to the easement and take access through this development and other local street networks to the east. With the revised plat, the Applicant has provided two stub streets to the existing Quarterhorse Lane for future connectivity. , . The Applicant agrees that at least a portion of the existing easement should be come public right-of-way in the future so that the parcels to the southeast have local street access to Pine and the accesses to Black Cat are continued to be limited in line with ACHD and the Comprehensive Plan. Staff finds this development to be generally consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies and objectives if Staffs recommendations are adhered to and despite the W. Quarterhorse Lane access remaining. C. Proposed Use Analysis: The proposed use is detached single-family residential homes;this use is listed as a principally permitted use in the requested R-8 zoning district per UDC Table 11-2A-2. The Applicant's revised plat shows front loaded single-family homes within the R-8 zone, seemingly the industry standard in the requested zone. The proposed development and use meet both the zoning and comprehensive plan policies despite the development not providing a new housing type.However, the proposed lot sizes are smaller than those closest to the subject site and therefore cannot accommodate as large of a home which should dictate a lower price point for these homes:the comprehensive plan also calls for housing variety in the way of price point but this is merely coniecture at this point in the development process. The proposed use is allowed in the requested zone but does not offer an "exciting"or "premier"housing type outside of what already exists in the immediate area. as t*oft e proposed use but also sho;twfour hontes that are agey loaded and Apo homes that awproposed with si& to garages-. This is a ehangeftom any previous plat submitted to Staff and would allow difftren arehkeemml so4es of hontes within the sante development-. Staff is appreeiadve of this pmposal and is reeommending a A4 provision to ensure these homes are eonshweted as proposed and not as allftont loaded, Page 8 Page 194 Item#8. D. Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2): The proposed preliminary plat appears to meet all UDC dimensional standards for the requested R-8 zoning district and use of detached single-family homes. This includes property sizes, required street frontages,and road widths of the local streets and alleyway.All local streets are proposed as 33-foot wide street sections within 47 feet of right-of-way. Staff notes that the Applicant's request to rezone the property from the existing R-4 district to the R-8 zoning district, increases the number of lots that are able to be developed on this parcel. This is due to the minimum lot size in the R-8 district being half of that in the R-4 district. The Applicant has not proposed all lots at the minimum 4,000 square feet but the average lot size in the development is just below 4,100 square feet. Because the Applicant is proposing such small lots uuits);Staff is recommending that prior to the City Council hearing the Applicant provide exhibits showing how the d;fftren homes&, le will physically fit on the proposed lots. E. Access(UDC 11-3A-3): Access into this development is now proposed via a new street connection to Pine Avenue instead of converting W. Quarterhorse Lane to a new public street. The Applicant has chosen to take access from Pine Avenue after receiving the draft staff report from ACHD which required a completely new plat layout following the initial submittal; subsequent revisions have maintained this access point to Pine.W. Quarterhorse Lane is currently an ingress/egress access easement with 4 servient sites,including the subject site of this application.Without the consent of all easement holders,the access must remain until the remainder of the properties annex or redevelop. Therefore the easement will remain as a non-buildable lot until such time it can be included as part of a future development. As noted above, staff has received r-eee f.,efids .,.. ':eat#-pro ,;ao an exhibit for the Commission that demonstrates how this area of the property could redevelop with the required street frontage improvements and be incorporated into a future plat when the properties to the southeast redevelop in the future. The applicant should relinquish their right to use of said easement as part of the rezone request. All internal local streets within the proposed development are shown as 33-foot wide street sections that will accommodate on- street parking where no driveways exist. The new layout proposes access off of Pine Avenue in line with N. Traquair Place on the north side of Pine. The internal streets provide two north-south stub streets to the existing private lane (Quarterhorse Lane) that will be extended in the future and a cul-de-sac that serves six(6) homes pph ,.nt i -the lle , leaded and side leaded 'aN e.. Staff can support this revised layout more than previously submitted plats as it places the easement within a lot of its own, shown as Lot 910 Block 1. However-, this 164 is not speeifiea!4,addf��ed an the plat er wit and the eK-�timg easement eauk4 war-k in thefiutHre wiMfwure development to the east-, read neAver-k? These are questions.Me Gemmission and Geuned should ask ef theApplieant. Staff understands that there maybe no precise way to know what will happen here with this easement but it is often up to the developer/Applicant to show Staff that all aspects of a property have been vetted; Staff is know comfortable in stating that this due diligence has occurred with the future of this access easement because the Applicant has provided an exhibit showing this lot as common open space to be landscaped with grass and still accommodate the existing gravel access road for the servient sites. In addition, the area of the access easement that is between the new local north-south street and Black Cat will hold both a sewer and water main line in order to loop the systems. These utilities require a 30 foot wide easement which will overlay the lot and Page 9 Page 195 Item#8. make this area non buildable in perpetuity. The Applicant has stated to Staff that the remaining easement area is best suited for future right-of-way for future redevelopment to the southeast and Staff agrees. The exhibit provided by the Applicant does not specifically show this because it is unknown where future access to the south could be taken from but the story has been told in both discussion and in the response to the previous staff report. Despite the unknowns, Staff is more comfortable supporting this revised plat with the requirement of an additional DA provision to ensure this easement area is used appropriately in the future. This recommended provision is to restrict Lot 110-Block I as a non-buildable lot for either common open space or future right-of-way dedication as other easement holders redevelop their own properties and relinquish their rights to this private lane access in the future. Note:Staff has received a revised staff report from ACHD and they have approved the revised plat with specific conditions of approval(see Section VIII.G). F. Parking(UDC 11-3C): Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC Table I1- 3C-6 for single-family detached dwellings based on the number of bedrooms per unit. Future development should comply with these standards.No parking plan was submitted with the application. The street sections(33 feet wide) of the proposed local streets within the development, as shown on the submitted plat, accommodate parking on both sides of the street where no driveways exist. The cul-de-sac is proposed with a radius of 48 feet and cannot accommodate any parking along its perimeter. G. Pathways (UDC 11-3A-8): No multi-use pathways are proposed or required with this development because the master pathways plan does not show any multi-use pathway adjacent to the subject site. This Applicant is proposing attached sidewalks along all local streets that will connect to the detached sidewalks proposed along the arterial and collector streets via the micro-pathway proposed in the northeast corner of the site and the new road connection out to Pine. These sidewalks and micro-pathway should help improve pedestrian and cyclist connectivity from this development. Originally, the Applicant proposed their micro pathway and amenity in the northwest corner of the site but Staff was concerned with the amenity being on an intersection that is only going to get busier over time. During the project review meeting between department staff some additional comments from Public Works regarding the location of the proposed micro pathway have come to Staff's attention. Public Works noted that this development should loop their water line to the water main that lays in Black Cat Road to help with water quality for the development. The revised plat still proposes the micro path and amenity in the northeast corner which does not help Public Works with achieving a looped water system on this property. In lieu of this, Public Works has recommended that the water main connect to the main within Black Cat via a new water main easement in the existing Quarterhorse Lane access easement, generally paralleling the sewer main proposed in the easement area as well. This will require the Applicant to abandon the existing main line stub located in the intersection of Black Cat and Pine since it will no longer be needed. The Applicant has taken these comments into account with their most recent revisions to the plat and has made the appropriate accommodations for a looped system via the existing access easement. Public Works has reviewed the latest plat and utility layout and offers their support of the new layout of the looped systems. Page 10 Page 196 Item#8. H. Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17): Five-foot attached sidewalks are proposed along all internal local streets. The Applicant is also proposing 5-foot detached sidewalks within the required landscape street buffers on Pine Avenue and Black Cat Road. There are no existing sidewalks adjacent to the site and along the arterial streets. These additional sidewalks will add to the pedestrian connectivity throughout the immediate area and offer safer routes for pedestrians and cyclists alike. Black Cat Road is expected to be widened adjacent to this site within the next five (5)years and the proposed sidewalk is shown outside of that ultimate ROW. However, the sidewalks appear to be right at the edge of the ultimate ROW which does not meet code. UDC 11-3B-7C.]a states that detached sidewalks shall have an average minimum separation ofgreater than four(4)feet to back of curb and the back of curb shall be measured from the ultimate curb location. Therefore,Staff is recommending a condition of approval to move the detached sidewalks further into the landscape buffers to meet this requirement. I. Landscaping(UDC 11-3B): A 25-foot wide street buffer is required adjacent to N. Black Cat Road, an arterial, and a 20-foot buffer is required adjacent to Pine,a collector street. This buffer should be landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C and placed into a common lot that is at least as wide as the required buffer width;this common lot should also contain the detached sidewalk required along both roadways. Pathways, including micro-paths are required to be landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12. The original landscape plans appear to show compliance with those requirements but no updated landscape plans have been provided that match the revised plat layout. The submitted plat depicts a 25 foot wide landscape buffer along Black Cat and a 20 foot wide buffer along Pine, both within common lots. The correct number of trees appeared to be shown on the original landscape plans as well(see Section VII.Q. To ensure these buffers are installed and vegetated appropriately, the improvements required outside of the ultimate ROW should be constructed prior to receiving building permit approvals. Code also dictates that street landscape buffers are to be vegetated with shrubs, lawn, or other vegetative ground cover in addition to trees; the submitted landscape plans do not appear to show this vegetation. Staff is recommending a condition of approval to revise the landscape plans to correct this as well as revise the landscape plan to match the revised plat layout and be submitted to Staff no later than ten (10) days prior to the City Council hearing. J. Open Space and Amenity(UDC 11-3U): Because the subject site is less than five(5) acres in size, the minimum requirement of 10% qualified open space and at least one site amenity are not required to be met by UDC 11-3G. However, the Applicant is requesting a rezone to a zoning district that allows higher density. Staff finds it appropriate that usable open space and an amenity be provided. In response, the Applicant has proposed approximately 35,000 square feet of open space which amounts to approximately 17%of the site. This open space consists mostly of the street buffers along the outside of the development and also includes the common lot that holds the micro pathway and the proposed tot-lot in the northeast corner of the site at the end of the cul-de-sac. Even though the regulations in UDC 11-3G do not apply to this development because of its size,Staff believes that the purpose statement of providing open space that improves the Page 11 Page 197 Item#8. livability of neighborhoods should still be adhered to.In addition, the purpose statement for subdivision regulations in UDC 11-"-1 discusses promotion of developments that provide for adequate sunlight,fresh air, and usable open space. Sitaff can better support the new open spaee layout but is sdU unsure how it%49 work with Pubue ' . Due to the existence of a lame public park bein.-within a mile of the development,Staff can understand why the Applicant has not proposed more usable open space within the development.However, it is Staffs opinion that more usable open space should be made available within the site to accommodate those who cannot so easily walk or bike to Fuller Parr In order to meet the purpose statement of UDC 11-3G and the subdivision regulations the Applicant should lose a buildable lot and convert it to open space. Therefore.Staff is recommendinz that Lot 6,Block 2 be a common open space lot instead of a buildable lot. K. Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7): All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. Fencing is shown on the landscape plan and appears to meet UDC requirements in regards to height,type, and location. The Applicant should ensure fencing still meets the required UDC standards once providing a revised landscape plan that matches the revised plat. L. Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual): The Applicant has submitted sample elevations of the detached single-family homes for this project(see Section VILD). The submitted elevations show a combination of single and two-story single-family homes. The elevations also show different architectural elements,finish materials, and overall design options including some RV size garage spaces. However, with such small lot sizes proposed, Stafffis concerned the submitted elevations may not depict homes that can actually fit within the building envelope of the R-8 zoning district. To help staffsee this, Staff is recommending a condition of approval that the Applicant provide an exhibit showinghow ow a proposed home will fit on these lots. Design review is not required for single-family detached structures but Staff finds the submitted elevations meet the requirements in the Architectural Standards Manual. Because a number of the homes abut streets that are heavily traveled, Staff is recommending a condition of approval that requires those homes abutting both Black Cat and Pine are constructed with modulation and variations in materials to mitigate any potential of a monotonous wall plane along these streets. VI. DECISION A. Staff: Staff recommends approval of the requested rezone and the requested preliminary plat per the analysis in Section V and per the findings in Section IX of this staff report. B. The Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission heard these items on October 22, 2020. At the public hearing,the Commission moved to recommend approval of the subject Rezone and Preliminary Plat requests. 1.

How Quarterhorse Lane is intended to function both in the near future and in theme to come—specifically,how much of it will be green and how much is expected to be right-of-way for the other easement holders to the east and southeast; b. Size of the lots in relation to the submitted conceptual elevations and concern over whether those homes can actually be built on the proposed lots; C. Location and amount of open space being proposed and how will the different locations be accessed by residents; 4. Commission change(s)to Staff recommendation: a. Add a condition requiringfencing encing along the north boundary of the open space lot(Lot 10, Block 2)in the northeast corner of the site where the tot-lot is located for added safety; b. That the applicant revise the plat to reconfigure the lots (Lots 9& 11, Block 2)around the northeast corner open space lot of the site to increase its size; c. Add a condition to work with Staff on providingfencing encing within the ingress/egress easement along the southern boundary to fence off the gravel road from the open space within this lot(Lot 10,Block 1); d. Revise the plat to remove a lot along Black Cat Road to widen those lots. e. Provide sample elevations of the homes that will fit on the proposed lots. 5. Outstandingissue(s)ssue(s) for City Council: a. The Applicant has not submitted different elevations based on the Commission's recommendations because the submitted elevations are the designs that are intended to be constructed in the development. b. The revised plat now shows the private lane easement as a common lot and dedicated right-of-way. If Council supports the revised plan, Staff recommends DA provision l.e be modified to read as follows: "A final plat application shall not be submitted until the Applicant receives approval and provides documentation from all easement holders(Parcels 51210325555, 51210325800,& 51210325710)to relinquish their rights to the existing access easement once the public road connection to Pine Avenue is constructed." Council strike condition of approval 2c. as this coincides with modified DA provision le. above. Council include a new condition of approval as follows: i. Construct a 5-foot wide micro-path along the south side of Lot 7, Block 1 that connects to the sidewalk along the west side of N. Traquair St. and to Black Cat Road. Page 13 Page 199 Item#8. C.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Development Agreement Modification to amend the draft agreement approved with Horse Meadows Rezone and Preliminary Plat(H-2020-0060),by Riley Planning Services. 11. SUMMARY OF REPORT A. Applicant: Penelope Constantikes, Riley Planning Services—PO Box 405, Boise, ID 83701 B. Owner Representative: Black Cat 30 LLC— 1420 S. Mills Avenue, Ste. M.Lodi,CA 92542 C. Representative: Same as Applicant III. STAFF ANALYSIS The Applicant proposes to amend the draft Development Agreement (DA) for the approved Horse Meadows Subdivision (H-2020-0060) to modify DA provisions, add provisions, and subsequently update the approved concept plan. See Section V for Staffs recommended changes to the existing DA provisions. History: The subject site was granted approval for a Rezone and Preliminary Plat in 2020 (H-2020- 0060)for a rezone to the R-8 zoning district and a plat consisting of 26 building lots on 4.71 acres of land. The property's existing access is via a private access to Black Cat Road,W. Quarterhorse Lane, that also provides access for three (3) other parcels to the east and southeast (Parcels S1210325555, S 12I 0325800,&S 1210325710).To help ensure that this access was removed consistent with UDC I I- Page 1 Page 226 ttem#$. EXHIBIT A 3A-3 and ACH❑policies, a DA provision was included that required all servient parcels to relinquish their rights to the private lane easement prior to this project prior to submitting for final plat approval. To date, three (3) of the four (4) servient sites (including the subject site) have signed an Easement Modification Agreement (see public record for document) to relinquish their access rights and take access through the approved public street connection to Pine Avenue, one(1)of the servient sites has declined to relinquish their easement rights. Therefore, the Applieunt is r-equestiHg to modify the draft DA so that they may submit n signed DA_ officinRy rezone fly propert3 and a ntinuplatting this subjeet site while maintWning the Quarterherse 1,aue oeeess for- thO Offe eUSeifleRt Because Quarterhorse Lane is a private easement, ACHD cannot require its closure (as detailed throughout the original staff report and ACH❑ staff report). However,the City attempted to reduce an access to Black Cat (an arterial) by including a ❑A provision requiring its closure prior to final plat submittal via each easement holder relinquishing their access rights. Per the Applicant, the refusal of one of the easement holders to relinquish their easement rights functionally renders this property useless with the current DA language regarding the access. Following the August 24"' hearing, the Applicant obtained legal counsel regarding their proposal as well as potential alternatives. On September 16,2021, the City received a letter fi-oin Kronbei g Laiv, a land use legal firm, dated August 27, 2021, outlining the existing conditions, the requested changes proposed for the August 24"' hearing, and other potential remedies for the subject access easement issue. l» response to this legal determination,the Applicant is now proposing to_move the easement from its existing location along the south boundary to overlay the proposed new public street approved with the Horse Meadows Preliminary Plat, This proposal is in lieu of the original proposed changes to the site plan and the DA and Staff supports this alternative based on review of the information provided within the letter from Kronberg Law.

City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program Introduction The City of Meridian is an entitlement city for the yearly Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD)to carry out the Meridian CDBG Program. As a recipient of these funds,the City is required to prepare a Consolidated Plan plan.The plan identifies the housing and community needs of the City, organizes these needs based on priority, identifies resources that address the community's needs, and establishes annual goals and objectives to meet those needs.The Consolidated Plan is further broken down into annual action plans, which the City prepares and submits to HUD each year. The annual action plan spells out specifically how the City will address the goals and objectives in the Consolidated Plan during that program year. At the end of each program year,the City provides a summary of expenditures and related accomplishments to the public and HUD.This annual assessment is called the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER). While the CAPER addresses goals achieved by expending funds for the CDBG program, it is important to note that the success of the City's program is largely dependent on the efforts and resources of other private and public agencies and organizations as well as HUD. CAPER requirements are outlined in 24 CFR§91.520.The report provides a review and evaluation of the City's performance during the 2020 Program Year(PY20) and the five-year timeframe of the 2017-2021 Consolidated Plan.The subject program year began October 1, 2020, and ended September 30, 2021. This CAPER includes reports generated by HUD's Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS), which summarize the City's accomplishments for PY20. IDIS generated tables and reports are included in the narrative and attachment sections to provide an update on the City's progress in achieving the goals and objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan.

City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a) The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER) reflects the activities and expenditures for the City of Meridian's Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) during Program Year 2020(PY20), which was administered from October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021.The CAPER outlines the progress made toward accomplishing goals identified in the PY20 Action Plan, which are derived from the following overarching goals of the 2017-2021 Strategic Plan/Consolidated Plan: • Improve accessibility options for people who have disabilities; • Enhance homeownership opportunities; • Provide social services; • Stabilize the rental gap; and • Provide administration and fair housing activities. During PY20 the City of Meridian and its subrecipients accomplished the activities below: • Provided 50 scholarships for 46 individual youth in households with a low-to moderate-income (LMI) to gain access to extended care programs at the Boys&Girls Clubs. • Provided rental assistance to 17 households consisting of 61 individuals through The Jesse Tree. • Provided mortgage assistance to 11 households consisting of 40 individuals through NeighborWorks Boise. • Provided case management to 26 individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis at the Allumbaugh House. • Provided necessary repairs to three homeowners through NeighborWorks Boise. • Assisted one family purchase a home that was affordable to them through NeighborWorks Boise. • Installed/modernized 18 streetlights on walking routes to Meridian schools in multiple LMI neighborhoods to provide safe and reliable access for children to get to school. • Coordinated with the Cities of Caldwell, Nampa, and Boise to educate the community on fair housing issues.

City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program Assess how the jurisdiction's use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan,giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified. Meridian utilized input from stakeholders and residents, as well as the review of fair housing barriers gathered during the 2017-2021 Consolidated Plan process to determine the highest priority projects to be conducted during PY20. Needs addressed during Year 4 of the Consolidated Plan included improvement to accessibility for people with disabilities, enhancing homeownership opportunities, and provision of necessary social services. To improve accessibility for people with disabilities, Meridian utilized data from the Consolidated Plan resident survey to prioritize the following accessibility improvements: • To address the lack of/poor sidewalks and provide multi-modal transportation for those of all abilities,the City is overseeing the installation of 710' of curb, gutter, 10' multi-use path that complies with ADA standards, and ADA accessible ramp to connect the Five Mile Creek Pathway and Lakes Place in Census Tract 103.21 Block Group 2; and Census Tract 103.33, Block Group 1. This will provide residents with easier access to necessary community resources such as food and transportation. • To address visibility and multi-modal transportation for those of all abilities,the City is overseeing the installation and or modernization of streetlights in Census Tract 103.21, Block Groups 1 and 2; Census Tract 103.22, Block Groups 1, 2, and 3; and Census Tract 103.33, Block Group 1.These areas provide access to necessary community resources such as food and schools. To enhance homeownership opportunities Meridian utilized data from the Consolidated Plan resident survey and Analysis of Impediments,which found that many renters expressed an interest in homeownership. Homeowners in Meridian identified a need to make improvements related to emergency repairs, weatherization, and accessibility to remain in housing that is affordable to them. In PY20, CDBG funds were dedicated to assisting LMI households who were purchasing a home in Meridian as well as funds to provide homeowner repairs. To improve the provision of necessary social services, Meridian utilized findings from the Consolidated Plan,Analysis of Impediments, and stakeholder meetings to identify the following supports: • A shortage of 1,077 rental units to serve Meridian households earning$25,000 or less was identified during the previous 2012 to 2016 Consolidated Plan.This gap increased in the past 5 years to 1,348 units and was largely due to additional households falling below the poverty line. CDBG funds were used to provide homelessness prevention for those facing eviction in the Meridian area. • The Al showed that lower-income children, particularly those living in Census tracts with a high density of residents with a national origin other than the United States, have lower access to proficient schools. CDBG funds were used to support Boys&Girls Club scholarships, which allowed admission to programs intended to reduce barriers for youth. The program provided scholarships to 46 youth in PY20, exceeding its goal of 40. • COVID-19 stakeholder meetings identified gaps in services related to domestic violence; behavioral health; housing stability; and childcare. Below is a breakdown of the CDBG-CV goals and outcomes for the entirety of the funding: • Domestic violence—staff assisted WCA in partnering with the Library to provide services in Meridian. WCA plans to track the number of Meridian residents served and request funding at a later date. • Behavioral Health—during PY19 the City of Meridian and the City of Boise coordinated funding to provide a full-time position at Terry Reilly's Allumbaugh House to provide case management for substance use disorders for those affected by COVID-19. The goal was to serve 250 Meridian residents. In PY19 they served 14 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER) 4 1 P a g e Page 488 Item#12. City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program Meridian residents and another 23 in PY20. Outreach efforts were made to increase the utilization by Meridian residents, but Terry Reilly decided to end the contract with the City of Meridian because they were unable to document the need. • Housing Stability—Jesse Tree provided rental assistance to 61 residents, meeting the goal of 60. There are multiple resources for this activity so no additional funding will be dedicated for rental assistance. Jesse Tree will be using/applying for regular CDBG funds moving forward. NeighborWorks Boise provided mortgage assistance to a total of 46 residents(6 during PY19 and 40 in PY20). The grant is set to expire at the end of PY21 and they are on track to meet their goal of serving 66 residents. • Childcare—staff is working with a subrecipient to provide childcare scholarships to Meridian residents. This program is anticipated to begin in PY21. The goal to Stabilize the Rental Gap was incorrectly identified in the Consolidated Plan as an affordable housing goal to provide rental assistance. This activity intends to provide homelessness prevention for those at risk of eviction as described in the Consolidated Plan. Homelessness prevention falls under HUDs matrix code (05Q)Subsistence Payments, which is a public service activity, not an affordable housing activity. The goal to Stabilize the Rental Gap will remain zero for the duration of the Consolidated Plan as it is more accurately being reported under the homelessness prevention portion of the goal to Provide Social Services.

Eighty-six percent of residents identify as white,two(2) percent identify as Asian, one (1) percent identify as Native American, and one (1) percent identify as African American.The demographics of those assisted with CDBG funds are similar to Meridian's overall demographic makeup. Data from the Consolidated Plan also shows that only one (1) percent of Meridian households had no one over the age of 14 who was fluent in English. Residents living in such households are called "Limited English Proficiency" populations, or LEP. Meridian's LEP proportion was slightly less than that of the county overall (1.7%)and lower than the State of Idaho(2%).According to the City's Language Assistance Plan (LAP), all reports and communications will be made available in formats accessible to persons with disabilities and in languages other than English upon request. Additionally, interpreter services are available through 7-1-1, (888)791-3004, or TTY at(800)377-3529. For those who feel they have been discriminated against based on race or ethnicity, Meridian has a Fair Housing Ordinance which outlines Meridian's response to discrimination.The Ordinance also describes how the City will promote and publicize the Federal Fair Housing Law: "With available resources,the City will assist all persons who feel they have been discriminated against because of race,color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or familial status to seek equity under Federal and State laws by filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development,Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, Compliance Division."

City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program CR-15 - Resources and Investments 91.520(a) Identify the resources made available Source of Funds Source Resources Made Available Amount Expended During Program Year CDBG public-federal $1,315,731 $494,482 Table 3-Resources Made Available Narrative Resources available this year included $297,445 of the regular CDBG funding and $528,607 of the CDBG-CV funding that was unexpended during PY19 and $489,679 from the PY20 allocation.All previous years of regular CDBG funding and PY20 resources were allocated to eligible projects during PY20. For CDBG-CV funding,the City is currently working through the application process to allocate CDBG-CV funds for childcare, behavioral health,and legal services. There is anticipated to be $40,000 of CDBG-CV funds unallocated, which will allow for contingencies during the upcoming year. During PY20 the City expended $360,960 in regular funds and $133,522 in CV funds. The following activities did not fully expend their award and will carry over into PY21: • CV Mortgage Assistance—CDBG-CV project,continuing into PY21. • CV Admin—CDBG-CV project, continuing into PY21. • PY19 Fairview Ave. Sidewalk Connection—design is complete and the construction is in contract. This project is expected to be complete by the end of 2021. • PY20 Locust Grove and Pine Streetlights—due to staff shortages this project is delayed. It is expected to be complete by the end of PY21. • PY20 W. Chief Joseph Streetlights—design is in process. This project is expected to be complete by summer 2022. There were also a couple of projects that were closed out in PY20 with funds remaining: • PY20 Admin—contract for consultant services was delayed and we were unable to accomplish the expected amount of tasks during PY20. The City will use$30,000 of PY20 funds during PY21 to cover the expenses that were budgeted for PY20. The City will ensure the admin cap is not exceeded for PY20 funds. • PY20 Fair Housing—completed under budget. • PY20 Homebuyer Assistance—this project was reallocated due to the difficulties of purchasing affordable homes in the current market. • PY20 Homelessness Prevention/Rental Assistance—this project was reallocated because there were many available resources for this activity during PY20 due to COVID-19 resources. Jesse Tree was able to fully expend their CDBG-CV funds, but not the regular program year funding. • PY20 Homeowner Repair—this project was completed slightly under budget • PY19 MMH/MMS Streetlights—this project was completed slightly under budget. The excess funds were used for the W. Chief Joseph streetlight project, which is also related to improving safe routes to school. Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER) 7 1 P a g e Page 491 Item#12. City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program In total,there is roughly$120K that will be reallocated to projects identified in the PY20 Action Plan. It is anticipated that the PY19 project listed above that is being carried over into PY21 will also have funds remaining, so the City will wait until the Spring to complete an amendment to the PY21 Action Plan that will incorporate funding reallocated in PY21. Identify the geographic distribution and location of investments Target Area Planned Percentage of Actual Percentage of Narrative Description Allocation Allocation n/a n/a n/a n/a Table 4—Identify the geographic distribution and location of investments Narrative The City of Meridian's basis for allocating projects is geographically delineated within its municipal boundaries. Funding is determined by meeting national objectives, qualifying eligible activities, and through a competitive application process.The City does not specify target areas either by Census Tract or Block Group. There are eight(8) Census Tracts that are either fully or partially within Meridian's municipal boundaries. Census Tracts 103.21, 103.22, 103.33, and 103.35 fall within Meridian's LMI area.The use of CDBG funding is not pre- determined in areas of LMI concentration.The Boys&Girls Club is located in downtown Meridian while Jesse Tree and NeighborWorks are located in Boise; however, LMI clients served reside throughout Meridian. Multiple low-moderate area activities were conducted during PY20: sidewalk construction continued in Census Tracts 103.21 and 103.33 and streetlight installation and modernization was completed in Census Tracts 103.21, 103.22, 103.32, and 103.33. Leveraging Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state, and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan. The City of Meridian receives CDBG funds through its annual entitlement;this is the only HUD funding that the City directs toward community development-type projects.The City pays staff salaries for the administration of the program and for staff time on projects the City administers, such as streetlights. It is estimated the City leverages $70,000 in local funds to administer this program. No publicly owned land or property was leveraged during PY20. The Boys&Girls Clubs of Ada County receives additional funding from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and private donations. These funds are leveraged to provide staff time and additional scholarships to the Boys&Girls Club programs. It is estimated that$25,000 of State funds and $20,000 in general funds were used for this program. Jesse Tree partners with local banks,foundations, institutions, and Cities to help fund programs including homelessness prevention.Jesse Tree receives multiple federal grants, including ESG. It is estimated that$762,000 in federal funds, $150,000 in local funds, and $1.1M in individual contributions and grants were leveraged to administer the program and provide supportive services to recipients of this program throughout the Treasure Valley.

The PY20 Action Plan set a goal of assisting three (3) LMI households achieve homeownership through the acquisition of existing units, but only one (1) acquisition was complete. Subrecipients had difficulty identifying households that qualified for the program that were also able to find a home within their price range.The high cost of housing combined with the limited housing stock in Meridian is a barrier for LMI families to purchase a home. The PY20 Action Plan set a goal of assisting eight(8) LMI households to remain in affordable units by providing resources for emergency repairs, weatherization, and accessibility repairs. This was the first year of the program and the costs of repairs were higher than expected,which only allowed assistance with three (3) units. Moving forward the program has a more realistic expectation of the costs related to this program. Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER) 10 1 P a g e Page 494 Item#12. City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans. The City realizes that the housing market in this area is making it difficult to administer a successful Homebuyer Assistance program. For this reason,the City will remain amenable to dedicating funding to this program in the future but did not prioritize it during PY21. The City felt the first year of the Homeowner Repair program was successful and will continue to fund it at a higher level than it was funded during PY20. Include the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons served by each activity where information on income by family size is required to determine the eligibility of the activity. Number of Households Served CDBG Actual HOME Actual Extremely Low-income 2 0 Low-income 0 0 Moderate-income 2 0 Total 4 0 Table 7—Number of Households Served Narrative Information During PY20 one (1) household was able to locate and purchase a home that was affordable to them and three (3) homes occupied by elderly,female head of households were repaired. Of the four(4) households assisted,two(2) households qualified as extremely low-income, and two(2) households qualified as moderate-income.There were no low-income households or households experiencing homelessness assisted. The City does not limit housing activities based on level of income, all households that are 80%of the AMI or less are treated equally. NeighborWorks Boise will continue to work with eligible households to locate and be approved for affordable housing in Meridian. All activities were completed for homeowners, there were no rental households assisted under the affordable housing goal. To ensure the Section 215 definition of affordable housing was met for the Homebuyer Assistance program, participants were required to qualify as a first-time homebuyer, purchase a home that was their principal residence, and the homebuyer's annual household income was below 80%of the area median income.The homebuyer assistance program offered participants housing counseling and worked with potential homebuyers to find housing where the cost of the housing is reasonable and affordable to the homebuyer, so the housing does not exceed 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area. During the Consolidated Planning process,the City of Meridian prioritized assistance for very low-income renters and/or persons at risk of losing shelter or housing and uses this to rank projects during the application process. Often these households pay more than half of their income for rent and live in substandard housing.To assist those households with the highest/worst case needs,which includes those with disabilities,the City funded public service activities which provide emergency rental assistance through Jesse Tree, mortgage assistance through NeighborWorks Bosie, utility assistance through CATCH, and access to childcare through the Boys&Girls Club.The City does not require affordable housing activities to narrow Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER) 111 P a g e Page 495 Item#12. City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program its focus to households that qualify as those with "worst case needs" because it is difficult to find eligible households with the basic LMI criteria that can find a home to purchase within their means. The approach the City has taken up to this point is to assist with services and provisions that reduce the amount of income designated for basic living expenses(e.g.food, childcare,etc.) and allow people to utilize more of their income for housing costs. During PY20 the City provided public services in the form of childcare, rental assistance, mortgage assistance, and behavioral health case management to 170 Meridian residents.

City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The City of Meridian has been a member of the Ada County Continuum of Care, known as Our Path Home,for several years. City representatives have previously been involved in the Our Path Home's Fair Housing and Performance Measurement workgroups with the hopes of better understanding the needs that those experiencing homelessness in Meridian's face and how to better serve them. During PY18 Our Path Home was restructured and the workgroups were absorbed by the larger group. Our Path Home partners with CATCH as the coordinated entry access point. CATCH provides outreach to those who are experiencing homelessness, especially those who are unsheltered. CATCH utilizes its services as well as those of partner agencies to assess individual needs and refer participants to appropriate services. Our Path Home CONNECT is the access point to the homeless services system; at this access point, each household experiencing homelessness is assessed and put on a prioritized list based on the length of time they have experienced homelessness and the severity of their service needs. Our Path Home's partner agencies have agreed to use this prioritized list to serve our most vulnerable neighbors.This agreement means that all partner agencies receive referrals from this list to fill openings in their supportive housing programs. This jurisdiction does not receive ESG funds. The City of Meridian strives to connect local community providers and organizations interested in involvement with Meridian's homeless population with Our Path Home. City representatives are frequently involved in public discussions, presentations, and meetings with citizens, other governmental officials, and local service providers such as the West Ada County School District,Jesse Tree, and CATCH to provide support, understanding, and outreach to those experiencing homelessness in Meridian. In addition,the Meridian Police Department assists unhoused Meridian residents with rides to emergency housing shelters that are located in Boise as needed. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Meridian is in regular contact with case management and supportive service organizations such as CATCH and Jesse Tree to assess and address the emergency and permanent housing needs of those experiencing homelessness in Meridian. In PY20,Jesse Tree was funded through Meridian's CDBG program to provide homelessness prevention to Meridian residents at risk of losing housing. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low- income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER) 13 1 P a g e Page 497 Item#12. City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program Meridian's CDBG program provides funding to Jesse Tree to provide homelessness prevention for LMI residents who are at risk of experiencing homelessness. Statewide, Idaho utilizes the SSI/SSDI Outreach,Access and Recovery(SOAR) model. SOAR is an approach that helps increase access to mainstream benefits for people who are currently experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness.Those returning from institutions such as jails, prisons, or hospitals have a higher prevalence than the general population of becoming homeless upon discharge. Idaho has divided the state into three (3) hubs that address the needs of their local community.The SOAR Hub Leads participate in a quarterly call to address the statewide needs and coordinate efforts.The North Hub Lead and the Southeast Hub Leads are discharge planners for each of Idaho's state-funded psychiatric hospitals and the Southwest Hub Lead is employed at the local Community Action Partnership.This group regularly problem solves ways to coordinate services for those who are coming from institutional facilities to reduce the likelihood of homelessness. SOAR is coordinated with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Division of Behavioral Health Central Office, Regional Offices, and state-funded psychiatric hospitals. Our Path Home includes representation from health care facilities, mental health facilities, and correction facilities,as well as private providers that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, and youth needs.The group works to find collaborative approaches to help low-income individuals and families avoid experiencing homelessness after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care. Our Path Home partners with many organizations,such as homeless shelters, school districts, behavioral health (mental health and substance use disorder) providers, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Idaho Department of Labor, and Federally Qualified Health Centers(FQHC). Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families,families with children,veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the time that individuals and families experience homelessness,facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again Through the City's CDBG program, Meridian provided funding to Ada County Housing Authority(ACHA)to provide homeownership assistance to LMI residents.The City provided funding for Jesse Tree to provide homelessness prevention and case management services to prevent and resolve needs for households in Meridan that are experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing homelessness.The City's funding relationships with ACHA and Jesse Tree are aimed to develop activities through the CDBG program to facilitate access for individuals and families experiencing homelessness to affordable housing units while also preventing individuals and families from experiencing homelessness. Meridian's collaboration with Our Path Home explores and addresses the needs of those experiencing homelessness in Meridian.These programs prioritize assistance based on: housing status, including chronic homelessness;the presence of children;veteran's status; and size of household.To address homelessness in youth, Our Path Home refers families and youth to Hays House. Hays House offers life skills, strength-based family and individual counseling as well as assistance with education resources. These programs assist individuals and families who are at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness access services to help them become stably housed and make the transition to affordable permanent housing as needed. Our Path Home and SOAR attempt to stabilize the individual or family to Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER) 14 1 P a g e Page 498 Item#12. City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program reduce the likelihood of experiencing homelessness again. The City partners with local committees, organizations, and networks in evaluating, understanding, and addressing the many needs of those experiencing homelessness in Meridian. Partners include the Meridian Police Department, Women's and Children's Alliance,Jesse Tree, Boys&Girls Club, West Ada County School District, City of Boise, CATCH, Our Path Home, Meridian Food Bank,ACHA, NeighborWorks Boise, and many others.These partnerships bring a collaborative approach to addressing current and preventing future homelessness in Meridian, as well as assist local service providers to help those experiencing homelessness to make the transition to permanent housing and independent living and shorten the time that individuals and families experience homelessness.The City's collaboration with these groups indicates the City's efforts and actions to define and meet these specific targets.

City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j) Actions taken to address the needs of public housing The City does not directly provide public housing but supports ACHA and other providers in improving public housing. Many landlords in Meridian are willing to accept Housing Voucher vouchers(Section 8) or other Permanent Supportive Housing rental assistance, but finding affordable units is a challenge.Voucher holders generally have the most success finding homes in areas that offer a wide range of affordable housing options. Nearly 90 percent of units in Meridian are single-family detached homes. The City is actively engaged with community partners such as ACHA and Our Path Home to address the public housing needs in Meridian. Actions were taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership ACHA participants can access programs that encourage them to become more involved in the management and explore options to participate in homeownership. One such program available to ACHA participants is Family Self- Sufficiency(FSS). This program assists individuals and families to obtain employment and improve their financial stability. ACHA works with social service agencies, non-profits, schools, businesses, and other community partners to develop comprehensive strategies that help participants learn the skills and gain the experience to enable them to obtain suitable employment. Participants in the FSS program receive an escrow account that is established by the Housing Authority for each participating individual or family. When the participant's portion of the rent is increased due to an increase in earned income,the escrow account is credited during the term of the FSS contract. If the participant completes the contract within five years by being suitably employed and is no longer receiving welfare assistance,the amount in the escrow account is paid to the successful graduate. Participants are then able to use their escrow to help them achieve the goal of homeownership by using the funds for down payment and closing costs. Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs ACHA is a high-performing Public Housing Authority; no assistance is provided at this time.

City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j) Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls,tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes,fees and charges,growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) During the Al,the City utilized the "Review of Public Policies and Practices(Zoning and Planning Codes)"form circulated by the Los Angeles fair housing office of HUD to evaluate potential concerns within the City's zoning code. The research did not reveal any negative effects of Meridian's public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing.This includes land use controls,tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes,fees and charges,growth limitations, and policies affecting returns on residential investment. Meridian will continue to evaluate the policies and ameliorate as necessary. Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The primary obstacles to fully addressing residents' needs are: 1) Limited supply of affordable units; and 2) Limited funding.The City has allocated funding to address needs within the limitations of funding. Additionally,the City is engaged in multiple regional conversations with neighboring communities and service providers to identify and address underserved needs, maintain housing affordability, and reduce the number of families living in poverty. Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City's website provides information regarding lead-based paint hazards as well as links to HUD resources. The City addresses lead-based paint hazards through mitigation as part of redevelopment efforts in older parts of Meridian. Meridian maintains communication with EPA-approved and certified lead abatement contractors as well as lead testing facilities to complete lead clearance exams if required. Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City focuses primarily on job creation and the availability of educational opportunities to reduce the number of persons living below the poverty level.The City's Economic Development Division works to recruit new employers and encourage business expansion within Meridian. Meridian's CDBG program funds activities that provide homelessness prevention to families who are at risk of homelessness and financial assistance to homebuyers, among other activities.The City's local strategic plan intends to address poverty-based issues through the expansion of public services,focus on economic development, and expansion of quality employment opportunities for the jurisdiction's LMI population. Meridian's goal is to provide residents with access to services that will help stabilize their basic needs so they can focus on improving their lives. Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City continuously seeks to enhance coordination and overcome gaps in institutional structure. Collaboration with Our Path Home, attendance at Idaho Housing and Finance Association (IHFA) and other stake-holder related events, and participation in regional coalitions and associations work toward the end goal of enhancing coordination. Plans Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER) 17 1 P a g e Page 501 Item#12. City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program are being developed to enhance educational and advocacy opportunities for service providers in the area regarding public and political cultures and systems in place in the region. To address the internal structure, HUD provided technical assistance to formalize standard operating procedures and guiding documents to monitor the program,track financials, ensure compliance, and address program requirements on time. Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) There are few capacity issues related to coordination between public and private organizations in Meridian and the surrounding area. However,the City's partnership and funding relationship with local housing services organizations including NeighborWorks Boise,Jesse Tree, and ACHA will continue to expand in the upcoming program year. Coordination with other organizations like CATCH, Boise Rescue Mission, Interfaith Sanctuary, and all members associated with Our Path Home, including private housing developers, will continue to be built upon to improve networks,coordination, and problem-solving in the jurisdiction.The City's collaboration with Our Path Home, housing and homelessness roundtables, and other regional coordination efforts contributes to the City's action plan for enhancing collaboration between public and private housing and social service agencies. Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.52O(a) During the 2017-2021 Consolidated Planning period,the City of Meridian identified impediments to housing choice and access to opportunity. Below is a list of those impediments and the steps Meridian took during this program year to address them: • Inaccessible infrastructure—During PY20 construction continued to improve the connection between the Five Mile Creek multi-use pathway and Lakes Place. Improvements include widening the pathway for ADA compliance and adding curbs, gutters, and a ramp. The construction is anticipated to be complete in PY20. • Lack of affordable housing—Support preservation of housing occupied by low-income homeowners and stabilization of affordable rental housing by assisting low-income renter households and supporting the creation of affordable housing. In PY20 CDBG funds were used to assist one (1)family purchase a home and to complete repairs on three (3)owner-occupied homes. Meridian will continue to use CDBG funds to work with currently funded projects and identify potential new projects that assist low-income and special needs residents(e.g., provision of food staples, emergency repairs, and emergency rental assistance). During PY20, CDBG funds provided 17 households with emergency rental assistance, 11 households with mortgage assistance, and 46 students with scholarships for extended care. • Lack of public transportation—Work regionally to improve transportation options. Meridian collaborated with the Meridian Transportation Commission,the Ada County Highway District Capital Improvement Citizen Advisory Committee (ACHD CICAC), and the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho Regional Technical Advisory Committee (COMPASS RTAC)to discuss the regional gaps in transportation options. • Lack of accessible housing—Increase education and understanding of fair housing laws by landlords, builders, and residents. Meridian has collaborated with the Boise,Caldwell, and Nampa CDBG Programs to develop and implement a Fair Housing campaign.

City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) Program CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230 Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements Per the Comprehensive Plan, a risk assessment is conducted on every project during the application process.This assessment is taken into consideration when the CDBG Scoring Committee is evaluating applications and making funding recommendations. During the program year, regular monitoring takes place with each draw.The activities submitted must comply with the stated requirements in the subrecipient agreements and provide requisite data (e.g. demographic data, payroll, etc.)for inspection before reimbursement. Formal monitoring is also conducted throughout the year.A risk analysis is included as an attachment to the Subrecipient Agreement and is used to determine if a project will require a desk review or an onsite monitor for that program year. On-site monitoring occurs at least bi-annually to ensure subrecipients are meeting both the requirements and the intent of the CDBG program.A formal desk review is conducted for every program year that does not require an onsite monitor. Other labor monitoring activities will be conducted, as activities require, according to all HUD and federal Davis Bacon labor requirements. Including minority business outreach.All relevant activities subject to these requirements will be monitored with on-site visits as frequently as required by regulations, more if circumstances require it. Desk-side monitoring takes place with each activity draw with staff and management from both Community Development and Finances departments needing to review and sign off on any reimbursement requests. The City is currently receiving technical assistance to improve the standard operating procedures and documents to guide the program,track financials, ensure compliance, and address program requirements on time. Citizen Participation Plan 91.1O5(d); 91.115(d) Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on performance reports.

Units of service, under this grant would mean scholarships granted for fee-based services offered by the Boys&Girls Club. Such services included KinderClub, Summer services, after school programs, sunrise club (before and after school.) We are happy to report that we provided 50 scholarships to 46 individual youth with the support of this grant! This grant allowed youth to participate at the club,where they received mentoring and social/emotional support. They were able to get help with their school work and participated in academic enrichment activities to reverse the negative impacts of Covid-19 on academic proficiency. Programs like Power Hour, Project Learn and Summer Brain Gain helped to accelerate the process of"catching up"after the long COVID-19 school shutdown and virtual learning months. Participants who needed it received free counseling support from a licensed, professional counselor employed by the Club. All youth received free, healthy meals each day-at a time when food insecurity was at it's peak. We are pleased to report that, by and large,the youth who received the scholarships took full advantage of them by attending at least 75%of the days offered!

Good morning, Karen! Sorry for the delay in responding! To answer your questions.... 1.) There is no set dollar amount with the agreement/funding, other than the amounts for primary/secondary per class.As of right now, no agency is limited in the number of courses they offer. I will notify all agencies if we need to start cutting back on the number of courses offered. 2.) 1 think printing posters out would be great. I'm happy to either have them printed in our print shop or reimburse anything you decide to have printed. I don't really have the bandwidth to design anything at the moment, but if Meridian PD already has a file, I can easily send it to print. O Hope that answers your questions!

E IDIAN 'aAHO AGENDA ITEM ITEM TOPIC: Community Development Department: Parking Requirements Review Page 577 Item#16. C� fIEN , IN4, IDAHG-. MEMO TO CITY COUNCIL Request to Include Topic on the City Council Agenda From: Caleb Hood, Community Development Meeting Date: December 21, 2021 Presenter: Caleb Hood Estimated Time: 20 minutes Topic: Parking Requirements Recommended Council Action: As Staff prepares to engage the Unified Development Code (UDC) Focus Group, Staff seeks direction on potential changes Council would like to see regarding parking requirements for new developments. Background: UDC 11-3C-6 (see below) sets forth the required number of off-street parking spaces for development. This past fall, the parking standard for multi-family projects was increased to require 1 additional guest space for every 10 dwelling units. In 2019,the parking standard for duplexes and single-family detached dwellings was amended as shown below in Table 11-3C-6. Further, in 2019, a new standard for restaurants was established; UDC 11-4-3-49 requires any new restaurant to provide 1 car park for every 250 gross square feet. Over the past several months, parking requirements have been discussed by Council in review of several projects: downtown; mixed-use,vertically-integrated; education facilities; multi-family and entertainment venues,to name a few. As you can see below,the UDC breaks-out parking requirements into 2 sections - residential and non-residential. For residential dwellings, Table 11- 3C-6 shows how many car parks are required per bedroom for each type of dwelling. Non- residential standards are broken out into commercial, industrial and traditional neighborhood/downtown. For most non-residential, commercial projects one parking spot is required for every 500 square feet of floor area. There are some exceptions (restaurants and storage facilities are a couple) but most of the time 1 per 500 sq. ft. applies. Several years ago, largely to entice development downtown, the commercial parking standard was cut in half for non-residential projects with Old Town (OT) zoning. The City used to have a fee in-lieu program downtown but it was not successful. During the December 21St workshop, Staff will walk through the parking standards a bit more, answer any questions and seek direction from Council on standards you would like Staff to research and potentially propose to amend. The Fire Marshal is not able to attend the workshop on the 21St, but does want to be part of the process. He plans to drive-through some newer projects to see how some of the recently-adopted standards are working (or not). Staff can bring some of that research back and share if Council would like. Staff intends to discuss parking with the UDC Focus Group and bring forward recommendations for any Code changes in the second quarter of 2022.

For alley accessed properties the parking pad is not required in front of the garage if the garage is located at the five-foot setback to the rear property line; the required parking pad must be provided along the side of the garage unless equivalent off-street parking, as determined by the Director, is provided in accord with Section 11- 3C-5, Table 11-3C-5 of this Article. 3 For condominium projects,the required number of parking spaces shall be determined by the Director based on the proposed development. If the proposed development is similar to a single- family development, such standards shall apply. If the proposed development is similar to a multifamily apartment complex, such standards shall apply. 4 The required number of parking spaces for the residential portion of a vertically integrated project shall be in addition to that required for nonresidential uses as listed in subsection B of this section. B. The following standards shall apply for off street vehicle parking for nonresidential uses: 1.

In all industrial districts the requirement shall be one (1) space for every two thousand (2,000) square feet of gross floor area, except for self-service storage facilities which shall only require parking based on the gross floor area of the office space. 3. In all traditional neighborhood districts the requirement shall be one (1) space for every one thousand (1,000) square feet of gross floor area. Lawfully existing structures in traditional neighborhood districts shall not be required to comply with the requirements of this section except when a proposed addition increases the number of off-street parking spaces normally required,then the applicant shall provide additional parking as set forth in this section. 4. In circumstances where there would appear to be a public safety issue,the director may request additional information from the applicant to determine if there is sufficient parking. When in the determination of the director there is insufficient parking,the applicant shall provide alternatives to off street parking as set forth in Section 11-3C-7 of this article. The determination by the director shall be based on the following criteria: a. The specific use(s) proposed and/or on the property; b. Uses in the vicinity of the property; c.A traffic study, if prepared, forecasting the expected traffic and parking needs expected from the use(s); d.
