IV. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS (Comprehensive Plan)
Land Use: The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) contained in the Comprehensive Plan designates this
property as Mixed Use — Regional (MU-R).
The purpose of the MU-R designation is to provide a mix of employment, retail, and residential
dwellings and public uses near major arterial intersections. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses
together, including residential, and to avoid predominantly single use developments such as a regional
retail center with only restaurants and other commercial uses. Developments should be anchored by
uses that have a regional draw with the appropriate supporting uses. The developments are
encouraged to be designed consistent with the conceptual MU-R plan depicted in Figure 3D (pg. 3-
17).
The Applicant proposes to develop the site with office (and possibly some secondary retail uses) and
multi -family residential uses. The site is located near S. Eagle Rd. and E. Overland Rd., a major
arterial intersection, and the Eagle Rd./I-84 interchange. The proposed offices will provide nearby
employment opportunities and services for residents in the vicinity. Other commercial uses (offices,
entertainment, multi -tenant retail, hotel, etc.) exist to the west in the larger MU-R designated area for
a larger mix of uses as desired in MU-R designated areas. Pedestrian walkways are proposed for
interconnectivity within the overall area.
In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in all Mixed -Use
areas, per the Comprehensive Plan (pg. 3-13): (Staffs analysis in italics)
• "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."
The proposed development includes office and multi family residential (i.e. apartments)
which will add to the variety of uses planned in the larger MU-R designated area to the west
consisting of office, retail, entertainment and hotel uses.
• "Where appropriate, higher density and/or multi -family residential development is encouraged
for projects with the potential to serve as employment destination centers and when the project
is adjacent to US 20/26, SH-55, SH-16 or SH-69."
The proposed multi family high density development should provide housing options in close
proximity to nearby employment uses located along SH-55 and I-84.

"Mixed Use areas are typically developed under a master or conceptual plan; during an
annexation or rezone request, a development agreement will typically be required for
developments with a Mixed -Use designation."
A conceptual development plan was submitted with the proposed annexation application for
the subject property that's located within the MU-R designation. A Development Agreement
that ties future development to this plan and the general guidelines for mixed use
developments and specifically the MU-R designation is recommended as a provision of
annexation.
• "In developments where multiple commercial and/or office buildings are proposed, the
buildings should be arranged to create some form of common, usable area, such as a plaza or
green space."
The conceptual development plan depicts a common area between the two office buildings that
appears to meet this guideline; more details should be submitted on a site plan submitted for
development of these buildings that comply with this guideline.
• "The site plan should depict a transitional use and/or landscaped buffering between
commercial and existing low- or medium -density residential development."
Multi family residential uses are proposed on the southern portion of the site adjacent to
existing rural residential properties as a transition and buffer to commercial office uses on the
northern portion of the site. A 25 foot wide landscaped buffer with dense landscaping is also
required in the C-G zoning district along the southern boundary of the site to residential uses.
Staff also recommends a 6-foot tall sight obscuring fence is constructed along the southern
boundary of the site as an added buffer to adjacent rural residential properties.
• "Community -serving facilities such as hospitals, clinics, churches, schools, parks, daycares,
civic buildings, or public safety facilities are expected in larger mixed -use developments."
No such uses are specifically proposed in this development — the tenants of the office buildings
are unknown at this time; however, St. Luke's hospital and medical offices are less than a mile
away to the northwest of this site.
• "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 are
expected; outdoor seating areas at restaurants do not count."
An outdoor gathering area is depicted on the conceptual development plan between the two
office buildings on the northern portion of the site. Details should be submitted with
development of these buildings that demonstrate compliance with this guideline.
• "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."
The proposed conceptual development plan depicts a plaza/gathering area between the two
office buildings on the northern portion of the site. A pedestrian circulation network, which
will connect to the larger 90-acre Eagle View/Rackham development to the west, is proposed
around the perimeter of the overall development as well as throughout the site that provide
pedestrian connections to the multi family development, office, retail, restaurant and
hospitality uses within the development.

"All mixed -use projects should be directly accessible to neighborhoods within the section by
both vehicles and pedestrians."
The proposed development is directly accessible to residents in Rolling Hill Subdivision to
the south by vehicle via S. Rolling Hill Dr. There are no pedestrian pathway stubs to this site
from the adjacent residential development. S. Rolling Hill Dr. is currently a substandard
street and lacks pedestrian facilities; ACHD is-requirig may require off -site improvements
with this application consisting of a sidewalk along one side of Rolling Hill and possibly
pavement widening if access via Rolling Hills isn't restricted to emer eenncy access only.
The Ridenbaugh Canal provides a barrier between the subject property and the residential
development to the east; no vehicular or pedestrian connections exist across the canal to this
site.
Staff recommends pathway stubs are provided at the southern boundary of the site near the
west and east boundaries of the site for future extension upon redevelopment of the
properties to the south for pedestrian connectivity with adjacent developments.
• "Alleys and roadways should be used to transition from dissimilar land uses, and between
residential densities and housing types."
A 25 foot wide densely landscaped buffer and a driveway is proposed along the southern
boundary of the site as a transition and buffer between existing rural residential properties
and the proposed high -density multi family residential development.
• "Because of the parcel configuration within Old Town, development is not subject to the
Mixed -Use standards listed herein."
The subject property is not located in Old Town; therefore, this item is not applicable.
In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in MU-R
areas, per the Comprehensive Plan (pgs. 3-16 thru 3-17):
• Development should generally comply with the general guidelines for development in all
Mixed -Use areas.
Staffs analysis on the proposed project's compliance with these guidelines is included above.
• Residential uses should comprise a minimum of 10% of the development area at gross
densities ranging from 6 to 40 units/acre. There is neither a minimum nor maximum imposed
on non -retail commercial uses such as office, clean industry, or entertainment uses.
The total development area consists of 29.7 acres; the multi family residential portion
consists of 15.94 acres, which is 53% of the site in accord with this guideline. Multi family
apartments are proposed at a gross density of 24.8 units/acre, which falls within the desired
density range.
• Retail commercial uses should comprise a maximum of 50% of the development area.
A mix of non-residential commercial uses will be provided on 47% of the development area in
accord with this guideline. Retail uses are expected to comprise only a small portion of the
development.
Where the development proposes public and quasi -public uses to support the development, the
developer may be eligible for additional area for retail development (beyond the allowed 50%),

DATL 05/25/22
For land that is designated for a public use, such as a library or school, the developer is
FILENUMBER:H-MI-0W+ eligible for a 2:1 bonus. That is to say, if there is a one -acre library site planned and
dedicated, the project would be eligible for two additional acres of retail development.
• For active open space or passive recreation areas, such as a park, tot -lot, or playfield, the
developer is eligible for a 2:1 bonus. That is to say, if the park is 10 acres in area, the site
would be eligible for 20 additional acres of retail development.
• For plazas that are integrated into a retail project, the developer would be eligible for a 6:1
bonus. Such plazas should provide a focal point (such as a fountain, statue, and water
feature), seating areas, and some weather protection. That would mean that by providing a
half -acre plaza, the developer would be eligible for three additional acres of retail
development.
This guideline is not applicable as no public/quasi-public uses are proposed in the MU-R
designated area on this site.
Comprehensive Plan Policies: The following Comprehensive Plan Policies are applicable to this
development:
• "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. Urban services are available to be provided
upon development.
"Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land."
(3.07.00)
The proposed commercial uses should be compatible with existing and future commercial
uses to the west and the proposed residential apartments should be compatible with existing
residential uses to the south.
• "Encourage and support mixed -use areas that provide the benefits of being able to live, shop,
dine, play, and work in close proximity, thereby reducing vehicle trips, and enhancing overall
livability and sustainability." (3.06.02B)
The proposed mix of residential and office uses will provide opportunities to live and work in
close proximity. The existing and planned office, retail and entertainment uses to the west
will provide nearby shopping, work and play opportunities to enhance livability and
sustainability.
• "Encourage the development of supportive commercial near employment areas." (3.06.02C)
Ancillary retail uses may be provided in the proposed office buildings; no stand -along retail
uses are proposed on the site. However, retail/restaurant uses are anticipated in the multi -
tenant building(s) within the development to the west.
• "Require pedestrian circulation plans to ensure safety and convenient access across large
commercial and mixed -use developments." (3.07.02A)
The conceptual development plan depicts a pathway within the street buffer along I-84. The
pedestrian plan included in Section VIT H depicts internal pedestrian walkways throughout

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; services are
required to be provided to and though this development in accord with current City plans.
• "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 services are available to this site and can be extended by the developer
with development in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. The emergency response times for Police
Dept. and Fire Dept. meets the established goals.
• "Require appropriate landscaping, buffers, and noise mitigation with new development along
transportation corridors (setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)." (3.07.01C)
A SO foot wide landscaped street buffer is required to be provided along the northern
boundary of the site on land that abuts I-84; noise mitigation is not required per UDC II -
3H-4D.
• "Evaluate the feasibility of annexing existing county enclaves and discourage the creation of
additional enclaves." (3.03.03I)
Excluding the outparcel (#51116427890) along the northern boundary of the east portion of
the site from the subject annexation and development plan will create a County enclave
surrounded by City annexed land, which is not desired. Note: The Applicant is attempting to
acquire this parcel.
• "Require urban infrastructure be provided for all new developments, including curb and
gutter, sidewalks, water and sewer utilities." (3.03.03G)
Urban infrastructure is required to be provided with development in accord with UDC
standards.
In summary, Staff believes the proposed development plan is generally consistent with the vision
of the Comprehensive Plan for this area per the analysis above.
V. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE ANALYSIS UD
A. Annexation:
The proposed annexation is for 25.76-acres of land with a C-G (General Retail and Service
Commercial) zoning district. The proposed use of the property will include multi -family
residential apartments and office uses. A multi -family development requires approval of a CUP in
the C-G zoning district and is subject to the specific use standards for such listed in UDC 11-4-3-
27; office uses are principally permitted in the C-G zoning district as are retail uses.
Staff recommended in the pre -application meeting to the Applicant that they request R-40
zoning for the multi -family portion of the development - they did not do so. The proposed
use still requires approval of a CUP in the R-40 district; however, the R-40 zoning would
more accurately reflect the land uses developed on the site when looking at the City's zoning
map. For this reason, Staff recommends the multi -family portion of the site is zoned R-40
instead of C-G; the remainder of the site should be zoned C-G as requested. With this

he proposed C-G zoning and recommended R-40 zoning is consistent with the associated MU-R
FLUM designation as are the proposed uses.
The property is contiguous to City annexed land and is within the City's Area of City Impact
boundary. A legal description and exhibit map of the overall annexation area is included in
Section VIII.A.
The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant
to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. Because this site is part of a larger 90-acre overall development
that includes the property to the west, Staff recommends that DA (Inst. #2019-037825 —
Rackham) is amended to include this property and the provisions noted in Section VIILA., To
ensure future development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and with the development
plan proposed with this application, Staff recommends a DA is required with this application,
containing the provisions noted in Section VIII.A, as discussed herein.
B. Preliminary Plat:
The proposed plat is a re -subdivision of Lots 18 and 19, Block 1, Rackham Subdivision No. I and
Lots 8-12, Block 2 and Lots 13-16, Block 1, Rolling Hill Subdivision. The proposed plat consists
of two (2) multi -family residential building lots (i.e. Lots 1-2, Block 1) and six (6) commercial
building lots (i.e. Lots 3-8, Block 1) on 29.7 acres of land and is proposed to be developed in one
phase. Note: The Applicant anticipates that many of the commercial lots will be consolidated or
realigned at the time of final plat as users determine precise site area requirements.
Staff recommends the property is subdivided prior to application for any building permits
for the site: or. the existing PUDI easements and right-of-wav for S. Rolling Hill Dr. may be
vacated and a property boundary adjustment application approved to consolidate the
existing lots into one (1) parcel. Either method should be done prior to submittal of
applications for building permits.
Note: There is a 14-foot wide sliver of land (Parcel #51116427890) that exists to the north of
the eastern portion of Lot 6 and Lots 7 and 8 that is not included in the proposed
subdivision (see preliminary plat exhibit in Section VILB). It appears to previously have
been part of the right-of-way (ROW) for I-84 that was sold off as surplus ROW. It was not
included as part of the adjacent building lots in the Rolling Hill Subdivision plat in 1968;
therefore, Staff determines it to be an original parcel of record as defined in UDC 11-1A-1.
As such, the subject property is deemed to be eligible for development without that parcel.
However, Staff strongly urges the Applicant pursue obtaining the parcel and include it in
this development; otherwise, there will be an undeveloped enclave with County zoning
surrounded by City annexed land with no access and likely no maintenance of the property.
Ideally, it would be included in the subject annexation and preliminary plat application,
which would require re -noticing and a continuance of the hearing — Staff has suggested this
to the Applicant but they wish to proceed without it as they continue trying to acquire the
property. Since it is not included with this application, the applicant will have to submit a
subsequent AZ application to the City for review and approval.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
There are no existing structures on this site; the previous homes and accessory structures have
been removed.

APPROVED imensional Standards:
oar 05/25/22 evelopment of the proposed lots is required to comply with the dimensional standards of the C-
FILENWBER:H-MI-0W+ and R-40 zoning districts in UDC Tables 11-2B-3 and 11-2A-8.
lubdivision Design and Improvement Standards (UDC 11-6C-3):
Development of the subdivision is required to comply with the subdivision design and
improvement standards listed in UDC 11-6C-3.
Access (UDC 11-3A-3)
Access to the site exists via S. Rolling Hill Dr., a local public street that currently extends from E.
Overland Rd. to the south and runs through this site to the north boundary; this street will
ultimately stub at the south boundary and may be restricted to emergency access only. The
portion of Rolling Hill north of the southern boundary of the site is required to be vacated
prior to signature on the final plat.
Rolling Hills Dr. is not improved to urban standards (i.e. it's narrow, lacks street lights and
doesn't have curb, gutter or sidewalk). Two (2) driveway accesses are proposed to be extended
from the commercial property to the west for access via S. Silverstone Way from E. Overland Rd.
ACHD has requested the Applicant submit an updated analysis to Staff for the intersection of
Silverstone Way/Overland Rd. to see if the intersection can handle all of the traffic for this
development if Rolling Hill Dr. is restricted to emergency access only. If so, ACHD will not
require additional off -site improvements to Rolling Hill Dr. Cross-access/ingress-egress
easements should be provided between all lots in the subdivision as well as to the properties
to the west (Parcel # R7319432000 & R7319431900) via a note on the final plat or a separate
recorded easement in accord with UDC 11-3A-3A.2.
Road Improvements: The intersection of Overland Rd. & Eagle Rd. is scheduled in the CIP to
be widened to 7-lanes on the north and south legs, and 8-lanes on the east & west legs, and
reconstructed/signalized in the future. The design year is listed as 2025 in the IFYWP and is
listed to be improved between 2031 and 2035. Overland Rd. is listed in the CIP to be widened to
7-lanes from Eagle Rd. to Cloverdale Rd. between 2036 and 2040 and is listed as unfunded. The
intersection of Cloverdale Rd. & Overland Rd. is listed in the CIP to be widened to 7-lanes on the
north & south legs and 8-lan3s on the east & west legs and signalized between 2026 and 2030.
If Rolling Hill Dr. isn't restricted to emergency access only ACHD is r-equ}rig will likely
require the following improvements for Rolling Hill Dr.: restriction to right-in/right-out only;
construction of passive traffic calming measures; improvement with 24-feet of pavement, 3-foot
wide gravel shoulders and a 6-foot wide concrete sidewalk on one side of the street within
existing right-of-way; and construction of a mini roundabout at the terminus. The segment of
Rolling Hill Dr. within the site is required to be vacated. See ACHD's staff report in Section VIII.I
for more information.
Pathways (UDC 11-3A-8
There are no pathways depicted on the Pathways Master Plan for this site. Staff recommends
internal pedestrian walkways are provided throughout the site for interconnectivity; where
pedestrian walkways cross vehicular use areas they should be distinguished through the use
of pavers, colored or scored concrete, or bricks as set forth in UDC 11-3A-19B.4.
Sidewalks (UDC 11-3A-1 :
There are no public streets proposed within this site; therefore, sidewalks are not required.
Sidewalks are not required along 1-84; however, a pathway is proposed within the buffer. ACHD
is requiring a sidewalk to be constructed off -site along one side of S. Rolling Hill Dr. with
development of this site.

oaTL 05/25/22 50-foot wide street buffer is required on Lots 3-6 along the north boundary of the site adjacent
AUNUMBER:H-M1-0W1 I-84 per UDC Table 11-2B-3, landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. The
lluffer depicted on the landscape plan complies with this standard. The street buffer is required to
be maintained by the property owner or business owners' association per UDC 11-3B-7C.2b and
should be depicted on the plat in a common lot or permanent dedicated buffer.
Landscaping is required adjacent to the pathway proposed along the northern boundary of the site
in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C. A 5-foot wide landscape strip is
required on both sides of the pathway planted with a mix of trees, shrubs, lawn and/or other
vegetative ground cover.
Storm Drainage:
An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments in accord with the City's
adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction is required to follow
Best Management Practices as adopted by the City. The Applicant submitted a Geotechnical
Engineering Roort for the subdivision. Stormwater integration is required in accord with the
standards listed in UDC 11-3B-IIC.
Pressure Irrigation (UDC 11-3A-15):
Underground pressurized irrigation water is required to be provided for each and every lot in the
subdivision as required in UDC 11-3A-15. This property lies within the Nampa -Meridian
Irrigation District boundary.
Utilities (UDC 11-3A-21):
Utilities are required to be provided to the subdivision as required in UDC 11-3A-21. Staff
recommends street lights are installed along S. Rolling Hill Dr. in accord with the City's
adopted standards, specifications and ordinances in accord with UDC 11-3A-21.
Waterways (UDC 11-3A-6):
The Ridenbaugh Canal is a large open waterway that lies within a 100-foot wide NMID easement
(50 feet on each side) along the east boundary of the site. The Applicant requests approval
from City Council of a waiver to UDC 11-3A-6B, which requires canals to be piped when
not used as a water amenity or linear open space as defined in UDC 11-1A-1, to leave the
canal open due to its large capacity. Council may grant a waiver if it finds that the public
purpose requiring such will not be served and public safety can be preserved. In order to
ensure public safety can be preserved if the canal is approved to be left open, the Applicant
proposes to construct a 6-foot tall open vision (wrought iron) fence along the eastern boundary of
the site at the edge of the irrigation easement.
This project is not within the flood plain.
Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6 and 11-3A-
All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. Fencing is not
depicted on the landscape plan; however, a 6-foot tall open vision wrought iron fence is proposed
along the Ridenbaugh Canal to preserve public safety if Council approves a waiver to allow it to
remain open and not be piped.
Building Elevations (UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manua<):
Conceptual building elevations were submitted for the future 5-story office buildings, 4-story
multi -family residential buildings, leasing and fitness buildings as shown in Section VII.I. Final
design must comply with the design standards in the Architectural Standards Manual.

APPROVED londitional Use Permit (CUP):
05/25/22 CUP is requested for amulti-family development consisting of 396-units in four (4) 4-story
FILENUMBER:H-MI-0W+ uildings on 15.94 acres of land in the proposed C-G zoning district. Unit types consist of 48
Itudio, 196 1-bedroom and 152 2-bedroom units. The proposed gross density of the development
is 24.8 units per acre, which is consistent with that desired in MU-R designated areas. Note: Sta
is recommending R-40 zoning, instead of C-G, for the multi -family residential portion of the
development.
Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3-27):
The proposed use is subject to the following standards: (Staff's analysis/comments in italic text)
11-4-3-27: MULTI -FAMILY DEVELOPMENT:
Site Design:
1. Buildings shall provide a minimum setback of ten feet (10') unless a greater setback is
otherwise required by this title and/or title 10 of this Code. Building setbacks shall take
into account windows, entrances, porches and patios, and how they impact adjacent
properties. Staff is unable to determine if the buildings depicted on the concept plan
meet the minimum setback standard. The site plan submitted with the Certificate of
Zoning Compliance application should clearly depict the property lines in order to
determine compliance with this standard.
2. All on -site service areas, outdoor storage areas, waste storage, disposal facilities, and
transformer and utility vaults shall be located in an area not visible from a public street,
or shall be fully screened from view from a public street. The plans submitted with the
Certificate of Zoning Compliance application should demonstrate compliance with this
standard
3. A minimum of eighty (80) square feet of private, usable open space shall be provided for
each unit. This requirement can be satisfied through porches, patios, decks, and/or
enclosed yards. Landscaping, entryway and other access ways shall not count toward this
requirement. In circumstances where strict adherence to such standard would create
inconsistency with the purpose statements of this section, the Director may consider an
alternative design proposal through the alternative compliance provisions as set forth in
section 11-513-5 of this title.
Alternative Compliance is requested to this standard to allow zero (0) for studio units
(0% of the standard), 54-60 square feet (s.f.) for 1-bedroom units (67.5%-75% of the
standard) and 58-85 s.f. for 2-bedroom units (68%-106% of the standard). The
Applicant's justification for the request is that the extraordinary site amenities proposed
coupled with innovative, new urban design with an emphasis on integrated, internal open
space, facilities, form the basis of the request in lieu of the standard. The Director is of
the opinion that the requested reduction is too much for this site. As an alternative, the
Director approves a 20% reduction (i.e. 64 square feet) for the reasons offered by the
Applicant as justification for the reduction.
The Applicant requests City Council review (CR-2022-0001) of the Director's decision in
this matter as they feel their request is warranted based on, "the extraordinary site
amenities that are proposed for the site, the unit type and mix, and the innovative and
integrated design of the internal open space." City Council should make a determination
on this request with the subject CUP application. If the action of the Director is upheld,
the Citv Council's decision should state the reasons for the decision as set forth in UDC
11-5A-7D.1 b.

4. For the purposes of this section, vehicular circulation areas, parking areas, and private
usable open space shall not be considered common open space. These areas were not
included in the common open space calculations for the site.
5. No recreational vehicles, snowmobiles, boats or other personal recreation vehicles shall
be stored on the site unless provided for in a separate, designated and screened area. The
Applicant should comply with this requirement.
6. The parking shall meet the requirements set forth in chapter 3, "Regulations Applying to
All Districts", of this title. The proposed parking meets and exceeds UDC standards (see
parking analysis below).
7. Developments with twenty (20) units or more shall provide the following:
a. A property management office.
b. A maintenance storage area.
c. A central mailbox location, including provisions for parcel mail, that provide safe
pedestrian and/or vehicular access.
d. A directory and map of the development at an entrance or convenient location for
those entering the development. (Ord. 18-1773, 4-24-2018)
These items should be depicted on the site plan submitted with the Certificate of
Zoning Compliance application.
Common Open Space Design Requirements:
1. A minimum area of outdoor common open space shall be provided as follows:
a. One hundred fifty (150) square feet for each unit containing five hundred (500) or
less square feet of living area. All units contain more than 500 square feet of living
area.
b. Two hundred fifty (250) square feet for each unit containing more than five hundred
(500) square feet and up to one thousand two hundred (1,200) square feet of living
area. All 396 units contain between 500 and 1,200 square feet of living area.
c. Three hundred fifty (350) square feet for each unit containing more than one
thousand two hundred (1,200) square feet of living area. None of the units exceed
1,200 square feet of living area.
At a minimum, a total of 99, 000 sf. (or 2.27 acres) of outdoor common open space is
required to be provided in the proposed development. A total of 3.49 acres is proposed
consisting �ofstreet/drivewabuffers, area around leasing building, landscaped areas in
parking lot and amenity areas, in excess of the minimum requirement as shown on the
exhibit in Section VII. G.
2. Common open space shall be not less than four hundred (400) square feet in area, and
shall have a minimum length and width dimension of twenty feet (20'). All of the common
open space areas depicted on the open space exhibit in Section M. G meet this
requirement.
3. In phased developments, common open space shall be provided in each phase of the
development consistent with the requirements for the size and number of dwelling units.
This project is proposed to develop in two phases. The first phase will consist of the west
two buildings along with their associated garages and carports, the west courtyard
amenities, the leasing office and the fitness building. The second phase will consist of the

F. Maintenance and Ownership Responsibilities: All multi -family developments shall record
legally binding documents that state the maintenance and ownership responsibilities for the
management of the development, including, but not limited to, structures, parking, common
areas, and other development features. The Applicant shall comply with this requirement.
Landscaping (UDC 11-3B):
Street buffer landscaping is required to be provided with the subdivision improvements as noted
above in Section V.B.
Landscaping is required to be provided along all pathways per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-
12C. A mix of trees, shrubs, lawn and/or other vegetative ground cover with a minimum of
one (1) tree per 100 linear feet of pathway.
A minimum 25-foot wide buffer to residential uses is required with development along the
southern boundary of the site per UDC Table 11-2B-3, landscaped per the standards in UDC 11-
3B-9C, which requires a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees, shrubs, lawn, or other vegetative
ground cover. The buffer depicted on the landscape plan needs to be widened and additional
landscaping depicted in accord with these standards.
Parking: Off-street vehicle parking is required for the proposed multi -family dwellings as set
forth in UDC Table 11-3C-6. The UDC standards applicable to this application do not include
minimum parking standards for studio units; the code has since been updated (on 10/5/21) to
require one (1) space per studio unit. The Applicant has requested alternative compliance to allow

parking is required for the clubhouse as set forth in UDC 11-3C-6B.1 for non-residential uses.
Based on 6,952 square feet, a minimum of 14 spaces are required to be provided. Overall, a
minimum of 5-84 660 standard parking spaces are required.
A total of 654 651 off-street spaces are proposed on -site with 3% 398 of those being covered in
garages (88 90)/carports (393 308); another 20 on -street spaces are proposed on the updated site
plan along the future private street along the north boundary — these spaces can serve as guest
parking but do not count toward the "off-street" parking requirement, ,,.hw moll os ^^ ^^^*
. Additional parking (5 spaces) should be provided to meet the
minimum standards; the site/landscape plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning
Compliance application should be revised to reflect compliance. Note: The calculations on the
landscape plan state 651 spaces are proposed, which defers from that on the site plan.
Bicycle parking is required per the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-6G and should comply with
the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-5C. Based on 651 spaces, a minimum of 26 spaces are
required. Bike racks should be provided in central locations for each building.
Alternative Compliance (ALT) is also requested to UDC 11-3A-19B.3, which requires no more
than 50% of the total off-street parking area for the site to be located between building facades
and abutting streets, to be allowed due the site design which enhances usable site amenities by
placing them internal to the development with parking mostly on the periphery of the site.
Because the parking areas on the east and west sides of the site are screened by garages and there
is only one drive aisle with parking on each side on the north and south sides of the site and
internal parking between the structures, leaving less than 50% of the off-street parkin visible
isible
from the abutting street/driveway, Staff is of the opinion the site design complies with UDC
standards without approval of ALT.
Fencing: No fencing is depicted on the landscape plan for this development. A 6-foot tall open
vision wrought iron fence is proposed along the Ridenbaugh canal to preserve public safety if
Council approves a waiver to allow the canal to remain open and not be piped.
As an added buffer to the two adjacent rural residential properties to the south in Rolling
Hill Subdivision, Staff recommends a 6-foot tall sight obscuring fence or wall is constructed
along the southern boundary of the site.
Building Elevations (UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual):
Conceptual building elevations were submitted for the proposed 4-story multi -family residential
buildings, leasing and fitness buildings as shown in Section VII L Final design must comply with
the design standards in the Architectural Standards Manual. A Certificate of Zoning
Compliance and Design Review application is required to be submitted for approval of the
site and building design prior to submittal of building permit applications.
