McMillan Road, Ste 102-162 RILE NUMBER:H- 22- 1 e, Idaho 83713 Project: Alamar Subdivision Parcels S1210346603 and S1210345730 Narrative The Alamar Subdivision is located on the north side of West Franklin Road approximately three-quarter miles west of Ten Mile Road. We are requesting annexation and zoning to Traditional Neighborhood Residential (TN-R), and preliminary platting of 50 buildable lots and 5 common lots. Our plan provides an effective approach to developing the property while meeting the City's Comprehensive and Future Use plans, as well as the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan (TMISAP). Alamar Subdivision includes a mix of affordable single-family and duplex townhomes which will help to balance the diversity of housing types in the area. With the rate of growth in the area including retail businesses, large office complexes and large global companies; continued development of the Ten Mile interchange area is essential. Alamar Subdivision is ready for development as almost all of the surrounding properties are under development or have been purchased by developers. The adjacent Ascent Subdivision to the east is currently under development and the Aviation Subdivision at the northwest has received P&Z approval. The developers of the 21 acre property to the north are currently working with Planning and Zoning and a developer has purchased the 10+ acres to the west. Alamar Subdivision will continue the orderly growth in the area by providing a key infrastructure connection to the surrounding developments. Alamar Subdivision consists of 18 single family detached home lots and 32 single family attached duplex townhome lots. The single family homes will be a mix of 3 or 4 bedrooms with 2.5 baths while the duplex townhome units will be 2 bedrooms with 2.5 baths. The duplex townhomes will have zero lot lines between each unit and standard TN-R setbacks will apply to the entire subdivision. The homes and duplexes will range from 1,300 to 1,800 square feet and will include front porches, back yards and covered patios. To align with the TMISAP and provide for a successful urban environment, a 'Street Oriented Design' has been incorporated. Alamar Subdivision consists of porch oriented homes and tree lined streets with detached sidewalks. The front of the homes will be placed close to the sidewalk while the garages will be set -back to the rear of the homes. This will provide a 'Home Fronting' edge to the public space which will make the streets more friendly and walkable. The site design for Alamar Subdivision exceeds the minimum TN-R zoning requirements. Surrounding Uses and Zoning The Alamar Subdivision site is currently zoned RUT and is located within Ada County. The site is contiguous to the City limits of Meridian at the centerline of Franklin Road with the 94-acre Baraya Subdivision to the south. The current Meridian Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map indicate a Medium -High Density Residential use for the Alamar Subdivision parcel and other surrounding parcels. The TN-R zoning is one of the preferred zoning designations of the TMISAP.
