LAND USE: This property is designated as Commercial on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) contained in
the Comprehensive Plan. This designation provides for a full range of commercial uses to serve area
residents and visitors. Desired uses may include retail, restaurants, personal and professional services, and
office uses, as well as appropriate public and quasi -public uses.
The Applicant proposes an amendment to the FLUM to change the existing Commercial designation to
Medium High -Density Residential (MHDR). The MHDR designation allows for a mix of dwelling types
including townhouses, condominiums, and apartments. Residential gross densities should range from 8 to 12
dwelling units per acre. These areas are relatively compact within the context of larger neighborhoods and
are typically located around or near mixed use commercial or employment areas to provide convenient
access to services and jobs for residents. Developments need to incorporate high quality architectural design
and materials and thoughtful site design to ensure quality of place and should also incorporate connectivity
with adjacent uses and area pathways, attractive landscaping and a project identity.
The Applicant proposes to develop the site with a total of 19 single-family attached and townhome dwellings
at a gross density of 10.8 units per acre consistent with the land uses and density desired in MHDR
designated areas; a -ad an fflee buildin .
This site abuts a larger residential neighborhood to the north and is located in close proximity to mixed use
designated land and employment uses to the east and southeast, including vacant land yet to be developed,
The Village at Meridian, Scentsy and other uses along the Eagle Road corridor, which will provide
convenient access to services and jobs for residents. The development should incorporate high quality
architectural and site design to ensure quality of place and incorporate connectivity with adjacent uses
and pathways and include attractive landscaping and a project identity as desired in MHDR
designated areas.
Transportation: The Master Street Map (MSM) does not depict any collector streets across this property.
Goals, Objectives, & Action Items: Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable
to this application and apply to the proposed use of this property (staff analysis in italics):
• "Encourage a variety of housing types that meet the needs, preferences, and financial capabilities of
Meridian's present and future residents." (2.01.02D)

APPROVED
DATE: 03/02/22
FILE NUMBEt H-2 I2 W2
The proposed single-family attached dwellings and 3- and 4-unit townhomes will contribute to the
variety of residential housing types in this area and within the City as desired. Single-family detached
and attached homes exist to the north and northeast in Dove Meadows subdivision, zoned R-8.
"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)
City water and sewer service is available and can be extended by the developer with development in
accord with UDC 11-3A-21.
• "Avoid the concentration of any one housing type or lot size in any geographical area; provide for
diverse housing types throughout the City." (2.01.01 G)
The proposed single-family attached and townhouse dwellings will contribute to the diversity in
housing types in this area, which currently consist of single family attached and detached homes.
• "Require all new development to create a site design compatible with surrounding uses through
buffering, screening, transitional densities, and other best site design practices." (3.07.01A)
The proposed residential uses will provide a transition in uses between existing single-family homes
to the north and commercial/office uses to the south.
• "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land."
(3.07.00)
The proposed residential development and site design should be compatible with existing abutting
single-family residential homes to the north.
• "Support infll development that does not negatively impact the abutting, existing development.
Infill projects in downtown should develop at higher densities, irrespective of existing
development." (2.02.02C)
The proposed residential infill development shouldn't negatively impact abutting development as
existing uses are also residential in nature and the medium high -density residential uses will assist
in providing a transition to the commercial/office uses to the south.
• "Maintain a range of residential land use designations that allow diverse lot sizes, housing types, and
densities." (2.01.01C)
The proposed MHDR FL UM designation for this property will contribute to the range of residential
land use designations in this area of the City which mainly consists of medium density residential
(MDR).
• "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)
The proposed development will connect to City water and sewer systems with development of the
subdivision; services are required to be provided to and though this development in accord with
current City plans.
• "Require appropriate landscaping, buffers, and noise mitigation with new development along
transportation corridors (setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)." (3.07.01C)
A street buffer already exists along N. Hickory Way, a collector street, along the northern boundary
of the site.

"Require urban infrastructure be provided for all new developments, including curb and gutter,
sidewalks, water and sewer utilities." (3.03.03G)
Urban sewer and water infrastructure and curb, gutter and sidewalks are required to be provided
with development of the future subdivision.
• "Maximize public services by prioritizing infill development of vacant and underdeveloped parcels
within the City over parcels on the fringe." (2.02.02)
Development of the subject infill parcel will maximize public services.
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT (CPAM)
As discussed above, the Applicant requests an amendment to the FLUM to change the future land use
designation on 2.10-acres of land from Commercial to MHDR for the development of 19 single-family
attached and townhome dwellings at a gross density of 10.8 units per acre. An exhibit map showing the
existing and proposed FLUM designations is included in Section VIILA.
Approval of the proposed amendment to MHDR will contribute to the range of residential land use
designations and diversity in housing types and densities in this area as desired. Additionally, it will
provide for a transition in land uses between existing medium density residential uses to the north and
commercial/office uses to the south and east. The change to a residential designation and subsequent
proposed development will provide for fewer vehicle trips per day than would result from commercial
development. For these reasons, Staff is in support of the request for a map amendment to MHDR.
B. REZONE (RZ)
The Applicant proposes to rezone 2.10-acre of land from the L-O (Limited Office) to the R-15 (Medium
High -Density Residential) zoning district consistent with the proposed FLUM designation of MHDR. A
legal description and exhibit map for the rezone area is included in Section VIII.B.
This vacant/undeveloped property is an enclave surrounded by property developed with single-family
residential uses to the north and commercial/office uses to the south and east; only the property to the
west is yet to develop. Developent of the subject property will provide more efficient provision of City
services.
A conceptual site plan and building elevations were submitted showing how the property is planned to
develop with (19) single-family attached and townhouse dwelling units consisting of (1) single-family
attached structure, (3) 3-unit townhouses, and (2) 4-unit townhouses and a 2,500 square feet rr o
Wig•
The property is planned -proposed to be subdivided t .,,,,g a fu .o applieati . The existing subdivision
plat (i.e. Mallane Subdivision) requires all lots in the subdivision to obtain conditional use permit
approval prior to construction commencing on the lots; this requirement will be removed with re -
subdivision of the property. The existing plat also depicts a 10' PUDI easement and 25' wide landscape
easement along the west and north boundaries and a sanitary sewer, water main and public utilities
easement along the east boundary of the site. The landscape buffer easement will be removed since a
landscape buffer isn't required between residential uses and the PUDI easements will be replaced with
new easements with the future plat.
Single-family attached and townhouse dwellings are listed as a principal permitted use in the R-15
zoning district per UDC Table 11-2A-2. Future development is subject to the dimensional standards
listed in UDC Table 11-2A-7 for the R-15 zoning district.

APPROVED he conceptual development plan depicts access to the site via across -access easement from an existing
oaTL 03/02/22 riveway from N. Hickory Way, a collector street; no stub streets exist to this property. Direct access via
FILE NUMRER:„-2021-0 z Hickory Way is prohibited. A private street is planned to provide access to the proposed development
Ind for addressing purposes; an application for such should be submitted prior to the City Council
meeting with the preliminary plat application and compliance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3F-4
is required. Staff recommends the Applicant work with the property owner to the east to extend the
private street to Hickory Way in order to better facilitate emergency access to the site for
wayfinding purposes and to comply with UDC 11-3F-4A.2, which requires the private street to
connect to a local or collector street.
An attached sidewalk is proposed along one side of the private street for pedestrian access.
Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC Table 11-3C-6.
A minimum of 2 spaces are required per dwelling unit for 1- and 2-bedroom units, with at least one of
those in an enclosed garage, the other space may be enclosed or a minimum 10' x 20' parking pad. For
3- and 4-bedroom units, a minimum of 4 spaces are required per dwelling unit with at least 2 in an
enclosed garage, other spaces may be enclosed or a minimum 10' x 20' parking pad. Garages are
proposed for each unit with parking pads in front of the garages. l Twenty (20) extra spaces for
guests are proposed in the common areas near- the entfy. On -street parking is not allowed due to the
width of the private street.

Because the site is below 5-acres in size, qualified open space and site amenities are not required by the
UDC per UDC 11-3G-2. A total of 0-.9 0.40-acre of open space is proposed as shown on the concept
plan, which includes the street buffer along Hickory Way and parking.
A 20-foot wide landscaped street buffer and attached sidewalk exists on this site along N. Hickory Way
that was installed with the subdivision improvements that is proposed (and required) to remain.
Conceptual building elevations were submitted for the single-family attached and 3-unit and 4-unit
townhouse structures as shown in Section VIILD. Building elevations consist of a mix of materials
including horizontal wood siding, vertical board and batten siding, wood shake siding and cement plaster
with stone veneer accents and architectural asphalt roofing. Coneeptual building elevations were also
Final design of all structures is required to comply with the design standards in the
Architectural Standards Manual. Detailed review of the elevations for compliance with these standards
will take place with the Get4i Bate of Zoning Gempiianee ^ra Design Review application prior to
application for building permits.
The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction with a rezone pursuant to Idaho
Code section 67-6511A. To ensure the site develops as proposed with this application, Staff
recommends a DA is required with the provisions discussed above and included in Section IX.A.
Staff Recommendation: Because this is an infill property and has an ular ^ nfiguration
development of this site is diffieult. The proposed eoneept plan with an offlee at the southeast

C. PRELIMINARY PLAT (PP):
The proposed PP consists of 19 building lots and 4 common lots (including one lot for a private street
on 1.97 acres of land in the proposed R-15 zoning district. Proposed lots range in size from 3,789 to
2,000 square feet (s.£) with an average lot size of 2,701 s.£ The proposed gross density of the
subdivision is 9.64 units per acre. The subdivision is proposed to develop in one phase.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements: There are no existing structures on this site. The western
portion of the drive -aisle along the eastern boundary on the site lies on this property.
Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
The proposed plat and subsequent development is required to comply with the dimensional standards
listed in UDC Table 11-2A-I5 for the R-15 zoning district. The proposed plat appears to comply with the
dimensional standards of the district.
Access: Access is proposed from an existing driveway from N. Hickory Way, a collector street. A
private street is proposed for internal access to the proposed lots. A private street application should
be submitted prior to the City Council hearing. Compliance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3F-4
is required.
