RE: H-2022-0001 / 3725 W Pine Avenue / Pinedale Subdivision
Joseph,
The City of Meridian has requested feedback regarding the proposed annexation with rezone to
R-15 (Medium-high density Residential) and preliminary plat for the Pinedale Subdivision,
which will consist of 12 detached single-family homes on 1.22 acres at 3725 W Pine Avenue.
Ada County is supportive of the application due to the proximity of the site to existing public
services. Goal 2.2f of the Ada County Comprehensive Plan encourages residential development
to occur at urban densities within Areas of City Impact where public facilities are available. The
application is not compatible with the Future Land Use Map of the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan, as adopted by Ada County, which designates the site as Mixed-Use Commercial, which
is primarily intended for a variety of community-serving issues and residential uses. However,
the properties to the west, north and east of the site are zoned R-8 (Medium density Residential)
and R-15 (Medium-high density Residential), the properties to the south are zoned RUT (Rural
Urban Transitions and C-G (General Retail and Service Commercial) and include the railroad
tracks within this area. Therefore, the proposed application is consistent with the surrounding
area.
The layout of the development also complies with many of the goals of the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan. The proposal to dedicate over 16% of the site as open space is compatible
with Goal 2.01.01B, which encourages opportunities for physical activity to be provided with
new development, and Goal 3.07.02A, which encourages usable open space to be incorporated
into residential subdivisions.
The site is to be accessed by a stub street at the site’s western boundary and is in compliance
by Goal 3.03.03C, which requires street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals
to enhance connectivity and improve traffic flow.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Stacey Yarrington
