RE: H-2022-0014/ 1710 E Amity Road/Grayson Subdivision
Joseph,
The City of Meridian has requested feedback regarding the proposed annexation with zoning
of R-8 (Medium density Residential)and a preliminary plat for the Grayson Subdivision,which
will consist of 15 detached single-family homes on 3.10-acres located at 1710 E Amity Road
within the City's Area of City Impact.
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 also compatible with the Future Land Use Map of the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan, as adopted by Ada County, which designates the site as Medium Density
Residential, which is primarily intended for single-family homes at densities of three to eight
dwelling units per acre.
The layout of the development also complies with many of the goals of the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan. The proposal to dedicate over 12%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 road connections proposed to the west is in compliance by Goal 3.03.03C, which requires
street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance connectivity and
improve traffic flow, and the pedestrian connections provided to the east and west
are compatible with Goal 3.07.02C, which requires pedestrian access in all new development
to link subdivisions together to promote neighborhood connectivity.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Stacey Yarrington
