11-3A-5 Bikeways and Multiuse
Pathways
Update this code section to require
a 10-foot wide MUPs to replace the
requirement for on-street bike
lanes when required by ACHD. May
need to define bikeway OR remove
entirely.
Bikeways Multiuse pathways shall be constructed in accord with the city’s comprehensive plan, the
Meridian Pathways Master Plan, and the Ada County Hhighway dDistrict mMaster sStreet mMap and
Roadways to Bikeways Master Plan.
11-3A-17C Sidewalks and Parkways Align this section of code with
ACHD policies as noted in 11-3A-5.
11-3B-7C may need amending as
well.
C. Detached sidewalks or multiuse pathways shall be required along all arterial and collector streets. The
Director may waive this requirement to detach the sidewalk where:

2. The sidewalk is less than three hundred (300) linear feet in length and between two (2) adjoining
properties with attached sidewalks or multiuse pathways.
The Director may waive this requirement for a portion of the street frontage where there is a utility box,
mature tree or other impediment that prevents installation of a detached sidewalk or multiuse pathway.
11-3A-19B.2 and 3 Structure and site design
guidelines
The current standard appears to be
switched for lots with frontage on a
public street vs. lots within mixed
use areas. Building facades in
mixed use areas should be closer to
the street. This section conflicts
with 11-3A-19B.3 which allows
parking & drive aisles next to the
street.
Exempt I-L zoned properties from
having to disperse parking
throughout the site like a
commercial development. City staff
has been processing multiple
alternative compliance requests to
these standards because of the I-L
dimensional standards and many of
these sites required a secured yard.
DATE: 07/01/2022 3
11-3B-2C Landscape plan applicability The current applicability statement
does not include applications for
combined preliminary & final plat
and short plat applications.
C. All applications for a conditional use permit (CUP), preliminary plat (PP), final plat (FP), combined
preliminary and final plat (PFP), short plat (SHP), certificate of zoning compliance (CZC), administrative
design review (DES), or planned unit development (PUD).
11-3B-5 Water conserving design With the increase in the concern of
water usage, City staff is looking to
incentivize landscaping that utilizes
the water conserving design in the
UDC.
O. Water Conserving design. To qualify for the exceptions for water conserving designs as set forth in this
chapter, the applicant shall demonstrate the following:
1.The design includes water conserving trees of this section, use of native or drought resistant shrubs,
perennials or ornamental grasses, water conserving plants, boulders, rocks, decorative walls and/or
permeable hardscape materials such as pavers and flagstones, and that are visually distinct (size, texture, or
color) and clearly visible from the adjacent travel roadway or drive aisle.
2. The design includes plants that can thrive in climates with approximately ten (10) to twelve (12) inches of
annual rainfall.
3. Lawn and turf areas shall not comprise more than fifty (50) percent of the total landscaped areas and
shall consist of water conserving grasses, including, but not limited to, buffalo grass, blue gamma grass,
compact fescue, Xerilawn, turf type tall fescue and/or rhyzomotuous tall fescue.
4. Herbaceous and/or perennial ground cover shall be drought tolerant and able to withstand dry conditions
once established. As a guide, refer to the recommended plants in the city of Boise parks and recreation
"Water Conservation Guidelines".
5. Excluding lawn and turf, no area larger than three hundred seventy-five (375) square feet may be covered
by a single ground cover material without additional hardscape or design feature of no less than one
hundred twenty-five (125) square feet.
6. The required street landscape buffer widths in Chapter 2 may be reduced up to fifty (50) percent.
Required landscape areas shall be at least forty (40) percent covered with vegetation at maturity.
7. Required landscape areas shall be at least forty (40) percent covered with vegetation at maturity.

11-3B-7C Landscape buffers along
streets
ACHD is moving towards multiuse
pathways, not sidewalks on
arterials. The changes account for
either sidewalk or MUP and explain
how the landscape buffer is
accounted for.
C. Standards. Standards for landscape buffers along streets shall be as follows:
1. Buffer size. See Chapter 2, "District Regulations", of this title.
a. Measurement.
(1) All street buffers with attached sidewalks shall be measured from the back of sidewalk or multiuse
pathway. Where ACHD is anticipating future widening of the street, the width of the buffer shall be
measured from the ultimate sidewalk or multiuse pathway location as anticipated by ACHD.
(2) All street buffers with detached sidewalks or multiuse pathways shall be measured from the back of
curb. Where ACHD is anticipating future widening of the street, the width of the buffer shall be measured
from the ultimate curb location as anticipated by ACHD. Detached sidewalks and multiuse pathways shall
have an average minimum separation of greater than four (4) feet to back of curb.
b. Easements. Where the buffer is encumbered by easements or other restrictions, the buffer area shall
include a minimum five-foot wide area for planting shrubs and trees.
c. Width reduction. In a development where the required street buffer width results in an otherwise
unavoidable hardship to the property, a written request for a buffer reduction may be submitted through
the alternative compliance process in accord with Chapter 5, "Administration", of this Title. The request
shall demonstrate evidence of the unique hardship caused by the required street buffer and propose a
specific alternative landscape plan that meets or exceeds the intent of the required buffer. In no case shall
the width be reduced to less than ten (10) percent of the depth of the lot, except in the Old Town district. A
reduction to the buffer width shall not affect building setbacks; all structures shall be set back from the
property line a minimum of the buffer width required in the applicable zoning district.
11-3C-5A6 Parking standards for all
other uses not specified
Add a note to encourage/allow
oversized parking stalls as directed
by the Council.
6. Design for standard vehicles. All required parking as determined in Section 11-3C-6 of this Article shall be
designed for standard and/or oversized vehicles. Compact stalls are discouraged, but may be used for any
parking above the number of required parking spaces.
Table 11-3C-6 Required parking spaces for
residential use (MF)
Revisit the parking ratios for multi-
family developments. This
continues to be a topic of
discussion at public hearings. Staff
may propose that a minimum
standard of 2 parking spaces per
unit regardless of the number of
bedrooms. Add a note to clarify
that clubhouses are not subject to
the commercial parking standards.
