Route: US Highway 20/26 Name: Hightower Subdivision (Hightower, llC; Applicant) Case: AZ 06~003; PP 06-003; CUP 06-004 Dear Zoning Administrator: The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the above referenced application, transmitted 3/17/06, regarding the applicant's request for the annexation and zoning of 24.03 acres, located on the Southwest corner of US 20/26 and Jericho Road, Meridian, 10; Initial comments transmitted in February '06. Revised Setback Condition: The applicant should provide for a setback of 70' from the centerline of the existing right of way to accommodate the future expansion of the corridor to four lanes. This revision follows a meeting between ITD, COMPASS (as US 20-26 Corridor Preservation Study project manager) and the developer. Due to existing right of way constraints (in particular at Castlebury Subdivsion to the north), I believe we will need to construct an urban section with curb, gutter and sidewalk west to Meridian Road. The 70' setback will be adequate for that section. Please note: I am personally not in favor of this typical section for the full corridor length, I have estimated the cost to the state for a storm sewer vs. land acquisition for a roadside drainage swale. The costs are to the state are comparable, The drainage swale is a better long term investment, and also provides water quality benefits, a sustainable design, minimal maintenance issues and better long term flexibility. Our first public meeting is May 10 and 11. The public, including the development community, will'have the opportunity to provide input for the future design options at that time. An urban section will be an option on the table. Traffic Impact Study and requirements for mitigation: To the best of my knowledge, developer participation in the Chinden accelerationl deceleration lanes, center turn bays and intersection signalization has not been finalized, Preliminary Plat approval should be conditioned on the ITD permit conditions when approved. I Collector Road Regarding the parallel collector: the west Macau Street is not quite the collector facility I hoped for. For the near term it will work. In twenty years the traffic volumes on the highway may require restricted turning movements at the half mile roads in order to facilitate traffic flow on the highway. For example, no left out turns would allow more green signal time for the through highway traffic. If/when this left turn movement is restricted, the westbound driver would want to continue west on the collector road to get toward the destination. The potential future traffic, and type of trip, on those collector roads should be a consideration in the site design. That said, if it has the approval of ACHD, I will not continue to comment on this issue.

Proposed and Required Non-Residential Parking - One off.street parking space required for every 500 square feet of gross floor area. The proposed total building floor area is 13,000 s.t., which requires 28 parking spaces, The submitted site plan depicts 55 spaces and appears to meet the minimum standards of the UDC parking requirements. L Sununary of Proposed Streets and/or Access (private, public, common drive, etc.): The applicant is proposing one new access point to Chinden Road (SH 20/26) to serve the Hightower project at approximately 2,000 feet west of the Chinden Road! Locust Grove Road intersection, As noted previously, ITD must issue an access pennit for this access, and the access is further contingent on the Meridian City Council granting a variance to UDC 11-3H. ITD, ACHD, and City of Meridian staffs are supportive of the location of the proposed access to Chinden Road and the location is consistent with ITD's Access Management Plan (see February 13, 2006 letter from Sue Sullivan, ITD). A connection to Chinden at the half mile as required by UDC 11.3H is not practical due to patterns of development and the proposed location is aligned with the Castlebury entrance across Chinden Road to the north. For a detailed report on both ITD's and ACHD's actions and comments, please see the letters/reports submitted with the application materials. 6. AGENCY COMMENTS MEETING On February 10th 2006, staff held an agency comments meeting, The agencies and departments present included: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Meridian Public Works Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. Staff has included all comments and recommended actions as Conditions of Approval in Exhibit C. 7, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS The subject property is located in a Mixed UselNeighborhood Center designation on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, The Future Land Use Map designates this property as 'Mixed Use - Community' with a Neighborhood Center. The purpose of this designation is "to provide a blend of high-density residential, small.scale commercial, entertairunent, office and open space uses that are geared to serve all residents within a one to two square mile area. The developments are encouraged to be designed according to the conceptual neighborhood center plan depicted in Figure VII.3. The purpose of these centers is to create a centralized, pedestrian-oriented, identifiable and day-to-day service oriented focal point for neighborhood districts, The centers should offer an internal circulation system that connects with adjacent neighborhoods or regional pathway(s). They will also serve as public transit locations for future park-and-ride lots, bus stops, shuttle bus stops or other alternative modes of transportation." (See Chapter VII, pg, 95.) Hightower Subdivision AZ-O6-003/PP-O6-003/CUP-O6-004N AR-O6-004/PS-O6-006 Page 5 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF APRIL 6,2006 Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the proposed development (staff analysis in italics below policy): Mixed Use Area Comp Plan Policies (taken from Chapter VII) . "All development proposed in these areas will require approval as planned developments under the Conditional Use Permit application process. In these locations, the developer has the option to develop either a neighborhood center in confonnance with the City's neighborhood center design ordinance, or develop a conventional mixed use project." . . A CUP application accompanies the annexation and zoning request, which fulfills the first part of this policy. To date, the City has not adopted a neighborhood center design ordinance. This application is being processed as a "conventional mixed use project. " (See next bullet.) "If developing a conventional mixed use project, four specific design elements must be incorporated into the development: a) street connectivity, b) open space, c) pathways, and d) density, not below eight (8) dwelling units per acre." a) Street Connectivity: The development proposes to connect the development with Chinden Road with a single public street, N Saguaro Hills Way, There are several other public streets and alleys that are all interconnected to each other and adjacent parcels, and stqff is supportive of the street connectivity proposed, b) Oven Space: The applicant is proposing to construct a neighborhood park and set aside approximately 18 percent of the site for open space. The Comprehensive Plan is not more explicit with regard to open space, other than it must be provided somewhere within neighborhood centers, c) Pathwavs: d) Density: The overall density of this project is 5,50 dwelling units per acre (gross). The residential portion of the project that is within the mixed use area is below the 8 dwelling units per acre target density. Although the density is below the target, most qfthe proposed lots are between 4,400 and 6,000 square-feet. "The following standards will serve as guidelines for development of the neighborhood center areas: a, b. c. Most blocks are 300' maximum, similar to Old Town. Larger blocks along arterial streets and for traffic calming. Neighborhood Center Commercial area is located at the Yz mile, not at arterial intersections. Schools are located mid-section, with frontage along a collector street. Interconnected circulation that is convenient for automobiles, pedestrians, and transit. Variety of housing choices. Housing is alTanged in a radiating pattern of lessening densities. Transition between different housing types or densities at alleys, Residents can access neighborhood commercial services without being forced onto arterial streets. Facilitates more efficient transportation along arterials, Grid street pattern within the neighborhood allows traffic to disperse, eases congestion, slows traffic, and is safer for residents. Connects to and integrates with the larger street and pathway system. d. e. f. g. h. 1. j, k.

Reduced right-of-way widths are encouraged. Open space must be provided. Unless a Specific Area Plan has been adopted, Neighborhood developed under a Planned Development/CUP application." Centers must be o. Stafffinds that the proposed development generally complies with the design standards of a neighborhood center, (See Chapter VIl,pgs. 97-98, for the above-mentioned mixed-use policies.) . "Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all public services" (Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action items I and 4) On February JOtI" 2006, a joint agency and department comments meeting was held with representatives of key service providers to this property, In that meeting no deficiencies of public services to serve this property were raised. . "Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets." (Chapter VII, Goal N, Objective D, Action item 2) The applicant is only proposing one access point to Chinden Road, an arterial roadway. The location of the proposed N Saguaro Hills Way intersection of Chinden Road is supported by staff, however, it is contingent on City Council's approval of the associated Variance application. . "Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation coITidors (setback, vegetation, low walls, benns, etc.)." (Chapter VII, Goal N, Objective D, Action item 4) The applicant is proposing to construct a 35-foot wide landscape berm along Chinden Road. Staff is supportive of this width, as long as the entire buffer lies outside the ultimate right-of- way, 8, UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE a, Allowed Uses in the Commercial Districts: UDC Table 11-2B-2 lists retail store/restaurant/ drive tluul office/ financial institute uses as pennitted uses in the C-C zoning district. b, Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the Commercial Districts is to provide for the retail and service needs of the community in accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, Four Districts are designated which differ in the size and scale of commercial structures accommodated in the district, the scale and mix of allowed commercial uses, and the location of the district in proximity to streets and highways. C-G General Retail and Service Commercial District: The purpose of the C-G district is to provide for commercial uses which are customarily operated entirely or almost entirely within a building; to provide for a review of the impact of proposed commercial uses which are auto and service oriented and are located in close proximity to major highway or arterial streets; to fulfill the need of travel-related services as well as retail sales for the transient and pennanent motoring public, All such Hightower Subdivision AZ-O6-003/PP-O6-003/CUP-O6-004N AR-O6-004/PS-O6-006 Page 7 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF APRIL 6, 2006 districts shall be connected to the municipal water and sewer systems of the city, and shall not constitute strip commercial development and encourage clustering of commercial development. c. Allowed Uses in the Residential Districts: UDC Table ll-2A-2Iists single family detached homes and townhouses as pennitted uses in the R-8 and R.15 zones d, Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the residential districts is to provide for a range of housing opportunities consistent with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Connection to the City of Meridian water and sewer systems is a requirement for all residential districts. Residential districts are distinguished by the allowable density of dwelling units per acre and corresponding housing types that can be accommodated within the density range, e, General Off-Street Parking Standards (from UDC 11-3C-5): The following standards shall apply for off-street vehicle parking for nomesidential uses: In all Commercial Districts the requirement shall be one 1 s ace for eve five hundred 500 s uare feet of ross floor area. f. Structures Subject to Design Standards (I1-3A-19,B.5): All structures on property adjacent to an entryway corridor (Chinden Road) are subject to the design standards listed in this section. g. Outdoor storage/refuse areas (1l-3A-12): Outdoor utility meters, HV AC equipment, trash dumpsters, trash compaction and other service functions shall be incorporated into the overall design of buildings and landscaping so that the visual and acoustic impacts of these functions are fully contained and out of view from adjacent properties and public streets. 9. ANALYSIS 9a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation The PP/AZICuP application appears to substantially comply with the Unified Development Code, However, there are several areas of clarification and some modifications required to both the site plan, cross access, public road design, and building elevations. Below are several special considerations for the P&Z Commission to review at the public hearing: 1. AZ Application (AZ-06-003): Based on the policies and goals contained in the Comprehensive Plan and the general compliance of the proposed development with the Zoning Ordinance, Staff believes that this is a good location for the proposed development Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of the required facts and fIDdings for a Zoning Amendment. The annexation legal description submitted with the application (stamped on 12/9/2005 by Timothy Fox, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate boundary of the City of Meridian, The applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the sewer and water service extension. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be removed ITom their domestic service when services are available ITom the City of Meridian, Wells may be used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape iITigation. All future development of the subject property shall be constructed in accordance with City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development All future uses shall not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors, UDC 11-5B-3D provides the P&Z Commission and City Council the authority to require a property owner to enter into a Development Agreement with the City of Meridian that may Hightower Subdivision AZ-O6-003/PP-O6-003/CUP-O6-004N AR-O6-004/PS-O6-006 Page 8 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF APRIL 6, 2006 Non-Residential Buildinl!s: The applicant has requested a maximum of 13,750 square feet of commercial spaces, Staff proposes to limit the applicant to their request with an allowance of up to 20% additional commercial square footage (16,500) for more marketable conditions, The maximum square footage of one single building shall not exceed Y2 of the maximum buildings, The applicant has submitted sample elevations and a materials list for the commercial products. Staff supports these elevations and materials and recommends that a stipulation requiring substantial compliance with these elevations/materials upon development of the property be included within the DA. Residential Buildinl!s: The applicant has submitted several elevations for both private street accessed townhouses and detached single family residential products, as well as a materials list. Staff supports these elevations and materials and recommends that a stipulation requiring substantial compliance with these elevations/materials upon development of the property be included within the DA. That the applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the sewer and water service extension. Any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517, when services are available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non-domestic PUlþoses such as landscape ilTigation, That all future development of the subject property shall be constructed in accordance with City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development. All future uses shall not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. 2. PP Application (PP-06-003): The proposed preliminary plat substantially complies with the Zoning Ordinance. Special Considerations: Land Use Buffers: UDC requires landscape buffers between different land uses. Per UDC 11- 3B-9, a 25.foot wide landscape buffer is required between single-family homes and C-C zoned property. The UDC requires the land use buffer to be provided by the higher intensity use and to be located on the building site of the higher intensity use, unless the adjacent and higher intensity use has not provided the buffer, The applicant is showing a 20-foot wide buffer between the commercial area and the proposed townhomes, The applicant should be required to create a 25-foot wide landscape buffer easement along the lots that abut the townhouse lots. Said buffer shall contain materials in accordance with UDC 11-3B-9 and not include impervious surfaces such as parking areas or driveways. Landscape Street Buffers: ODC 11.2B requires a 35-foot wide street buffer along entryway corridors. Chinden Road is classified as an Entryway Conidor. On the submitted landscape plan, the applicant is proposing to construct a 35-foot wide street buffer along Chinden Road and the buffer has been placed in a common lot. The applicant has also proposed a 25-foot landscape buffer along Jericho Road, which is not required by the UDc. Staff is in support of the landscape buffers as proposed.

Coordinate with ACHD and the Meridian Fire Department (Joe Silva at 888-1234) for proper signage of the parking restriction, Direct Lot access to Chinden Road and Jericho Road: Direct lot access to Chinden Road and Jericho Road shall be prohibited and shall be noted on the face of the plat. Common Drives: Lots 5,6,7,8,11,12,13, and 14, Block 6 and Lots 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16, Block 4 shall take access from common drives. Staff has concerns about the confi ation of these lots and the a licant should be re ared to address at the ublic hearin b means of a ra hie illustration that the drivewa s and arkin ads will be desi ed and built in a fashion that allows reasonable vehicular movement to and from the townhomes. Cross Access: Because one of the proposed commercials lots does not have frontage on a public street, the applicant should provide a cross parking/cross access agreement for all of the lots within the commercial portions of the subdivision to use the driveways and parking aisles. Chinden Road Access: The applicant is proposing one new access point to Chinden Road (SH 20/26) to serve the Hightower project at approximately 2,000 feet west of the Chinden Road! Locust Grove Road intersection. As noted previously, ITD must issue an access permit for this access, and the access is further contingent on the Meridian City Council granting a variance to ODC 11-3H, ITD, ACHD, and City of Meridian staffs are supportive of the location of the proposed access to Chinden Road and the location is consistent with ITD's Access Management Plan (see February 13, 2006 letter from Sue Sullivan, ITD). A connection to Chinden at the half mile as required by UDC 11-3H is not practical due to patterns of development and the proposed location is aligned with the Castlebury Subdivision entrance across Chinden Road to the north. Commercial Streets: ODC 11-2B requires a 10-foot wide street buffer along commercial roadways, On the submitted landscape plan, the applicant is proposing to construct a lO-foot wide street buffer along the north side of W, Hightower Drive. However, the street buffer easements are not labeled on the plat. The applicant should be required to depict the required lO-foot wide street buffer easements along local roads on the face of the final plat. Common/Open Space: The applicant has a qualified application meeting the requirements of UDC 11-3G. The proposal is showing 18.3% of qualified open space in the residential district which meets the requirements of a minimum of 5% open space. Amenities: The applicant is required to provide one amenity per 20 acres. The applicant is showing qualified site amenities as follows: a neighborhood park, open play area, gazebo, and children's play structure, Amenities are generally located centrally and in common lots. Hightower Subdivision AZ-06-003/PP-06-003/CUP-06-004N AR-06-004/PS-06-006 Page 10 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF APRIL 6, 2006 These common lots shall be maintained by the Hightower Home Owners Association. The landscape architect shall certify that one tree per 8,000 square feet of lawn has Deen provided on the landscape plan, Ditches, Laterals. and Canals: Per UDC II-3A-6, all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous to the area being subdivided shall be tiled, The applicant is proposing to tile all of the inigation facilities located on site, See Exhibit B below, Pressure mÜmtion: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irogation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water (UDC 11-3A-15), The applicant should be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source, If a surface or well source is not available, a single-point connection to the culinary water system shall be required. If a single-point connection is used, the developer will be responsible for the payment of assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer. An underground, pressurized in-igation system should be installed to all landscape areas per the approved specifications and in accordance with City Code, See Site Exhibit B below, Fencill!z: The applicant has not submitted a detailed fencing plan with the applications. A detailed fencing plan should be submitted upon application of the final plat (UDc 11-3A- 7). If pennanent fencing is not provided, temporary construction fencing to contain debris must be installed around the perimeter prior to issuance of a building pennit. All fencing should be installed in accordance with City Code. 3, CuP Application (CuP-O5-052): The Proposed Conditional Use request substantially complies with the Zoning Ordinance, Refuse/Service Area Screen: UDC 11~3A-12 requires the visual and acoustic impacts of these functions are fully contained and out of view from adjacent properties and public streets, The applicant's CZC application must clearly demonstrate how this standard is met. Parkin!!: One off-street parking space required for every 500 square feet of gross floor area, The proposed total building floor area is 13,750 square feet, which requires 28 parking spaces, The submitted site plan depicts 55 spaces and appears to meet the minimum standards of the VDC parking requirements, Drive Throu!!h: The applicant has requested approval of the drive through lane on Lot 2, Block 3 as part of the Conditional Use Pennit. Staff finds that it complies with UDC 11-4- 3,11 and should be approved with the application. Design Review Standards: UDC 11-3A-19 requires that all structures located on Entryway Corridors (as identified on the 2002 Future Land Use Map) be subject to administrative design review standards. Chinden Road in this location is an Entryway Corridor, and the applicant has submitted a Design Review application for concurrent review. Staff is supportive of the submitted application with the following comments: 1. Architectural Character: The submitted sample building elevations conform with the architectural standards as follows: . The proposed modifications exhibit facade modulations, roof line recesses and projections along a minimum of 20% of the length of the facade as required; . The proposed modifications clearly define primary building entrances and awnings, windows, or arcades total a minimum of 30% of the facade length; Hightower Subdivision AZ-O6-003tPP-O6-003/CUP-O6-004N AR-O6-004tPS-O6-006 Page II CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF APRIL 6, 2006 . The proposed modifications demonstrate roof lines which demonstrate overhanging eaves, two or more roof planes, varying parapet heights, and cornices; . The proposed modifications exhibit at least two changes in color, texture and materials; and . The proposed modifications screen all ground-level and rooftop mechanical equipment as viewed from the property line. 1, Color and materials: The submitted building elevations demonstrate the appearance and use of high quality materials, such as stone and stucco and do not contain prohibited materials or construction. 2. Parking Lots: No more than 70% of the off-street parking area for the structure shall be located between the front façade of the building and abutting streets. The site currently contains existing parking in front which is 52 % of the total for the building, and satisfies this requirement. 3. Pedestrian Walkways; Staff finds that the proposal does not meet the pedestrian walkways requirements, and changes should be as follows: . A continuous pedestrian walkway that is a minimum of eight feet in width shall be provided from the perimeter sidewalk to the main building entrance. The proposal does not depict this required walkway, and staff finds that the applicant shall modifY the site and landscape plans prior to submittal for Certificate of Zoning Compliance to include a walkway from the sidewalk along W. Hightower Drive to the building which complies with this requirement. The walkway shall also be distinguished from the vehicular driving surface through the use of pavers, brick, or colored/scored concrete. 9b, Staff Recommendation: Based on the above analysis, staff fmds the AZ/PP/CuP applications substantially confonn with the adopted Comprehensive Plan policies and UDC standards. Provided that concerns raised herein can be addressed at the public hearing, we recommend approval of the AZIPP/CUP applications with the conditions shown in Exhibit B. 10. EXHIBITS A.
