8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
This property is designated "Medium Density Residential" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Map. Medium density residential areas are anticipated to contain between three and eight dwellings per
acre (see Page 95 of the Comprehensive Plan.) NOTE: The designation of the subject site on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map is proposed to be amended to "Mixed Use Community" with
the current North Meridian Area Comprehensive Plan Amendment (NMA CPA). The NMA CPA is
scheduled to be on the March 7, 2006 City Council agenda. If approved by the City Council, as
recommended by the Commission, this application would comply with the new map designation.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the
proposed development (staff analysis in italics below poJicy):
.
Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1 . Require that development projects have planned
for the provision of all public services.
When the City established its Area of City impact, it planned to provide City services to the subject
property. The City of Meridian plans to provide municipal services to the lands proposed to be
annexed in thefallowing manner:
. Sanitary sewer and water service will be extended to the project at the developer's expense.
Knighthill Center Subdivision AZ-06-006, PP-06-005
PAGE 4
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF MAY 9, 2006
.
The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Meridian Rural Fire District.
Once annexed the lands will be under the jurisdiction of the Meridian City Fire Department,
who currently shares resource and personnel with the Meridian Rural Fire Department,
The su~ject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Ada County Sheriff's Office.
Once annexed the lands will be serviced by the Meridian Police Department (MPD).
The roadways adjacent to the subject lands are currently owned and maintained by the Ada
County Highway District (ACHD). This service will not change.
The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian School District #2. This service will
not change.
The su~ject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian Library District. This service will
not change and the Meridian Library District should suffer no revenue loss as a result of the
su~ject annexation.
.
.
.
.
Municipal, fee-supported, services will be provided by the Meridian Building Department, the
Meridian Public Works Department, the Meridian Water Department, the Meridian Wastewater
Department, the Meridian Planning Department, Meridian Utility Billing Services, and Sanitary
Services Company.
.
Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6 - Require street connections between subdivisions at
regular intervals to enhance connectivity and better traffic flow.
The submitted preliminary plat proposes to connect to the public stub street from Lochsa Falls
Subdivision to the south and the private stub street from Lochsa Falls Subdivision to the west.
.
Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action 2 ~ Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors
and arterial streets.
The applicant has proposed one curb cut on N Linder Road, which was approved by A CHD and is
supported by staff
.
"Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the Impact Area." (Chapter VII,
Goal 1, Objective B)
The proposed use does contribute to the variety of commercial uses in this area, as envisioned with
the Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
.
"Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets." (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective D, Action item 2)
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has previously submitted letters to the City stating that
their policy for access to a Type IV Principal Arterial will be at intersections only, and spaced at one-
half mile intervals in urban areas. ITD allows approaches (other than intersections) in special cases
and on a temporary basis. Staff finds that the proposal of no access point to Chinden Boulevard (SH
20-26) meets the location requirements of lTD. Further, stajJfinds that Ten Mile Road will serve as
the access point to Chinden Boulevard for all the properties in this section. ¡TD has conditioned the
subdivisionjòr additional rights of way along Chinden Boulevard, a redesign of the proposal dated
July 05, 2005 has been submitted which shows the right-ofway line at 90 feet to center linefor
approximately the.first 500 feet east of the centerline ofTen Mile Road.

should be noted on the plat that it is for future right of way reservation for when lTD roadway

j j-3H-3c.2
Staff believes that the proposed zoning for this property is appropriate. Staff recommends that the
Commission and Council rely on any verbal or written testimony that may be provided at the public
hearing when determining if the applicant's zoning and development request is appropriate for this
property.
9. ZONING ORDINANCE
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: ODC ll-2B-2 lists retail, restaurants, and financial
institutions as a Permitted Uses in the C-G zone.

10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
ANNEXA nON ANALYSIS: 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 single family development. Please see

by Jeffery McAllister, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate boundary

between the City of Meridian, property owner (at the time of annexation ordinance adoption), and
the developer. The applicant shall contact the Citv Attornev. Bill Narv. at 888-4433 to initiate this

PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS: 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 commercial development.
Please see Exhibit 0 for detailed analysis of facts and findings.
1. Right of way along Chinden: The submitted preliminary plat dated January 5, 2006
shows a 100-foot from centerline right-of-way on Chinden Road, which is consistent with
the Idaho Transportation Department's requirements along Chinden Road.
2. Conifers in Street Buffer along Linder and Chinden: The submitted landscape plan
shows coniferous trees located in the street buffer adjacent to Linder Road and Chinden
Road. Per DDC 11-3B-5C conifers are prohibited in street buffers, unless planted in the
middle of a buffer which is 20 feet wider, or wider. Please modify the landscape plan
prior to submittal of final plat to show conifers placed ONLY in the middle of the
required street buffer.
3. Parking Lot Landscaping: Landscape plans shall be submitted with the Certificate of
Zoning Compliance applications for the development which comply with City Code.
Specifically, the submitted conceptual site plan does not provide landscape islands and
associated vegetation as required by DDC 11-3B-8C2.
4. Design Review: Per DDC 11-3A-19, the structures within the development shall be
subject to administrative design review and a Design Review application shall submitted
concurrently with the application for Certificate of Zoning Compliance.
5. Stub Streets: Staff is supportive of the connections to the two stub streets [rom the south
and west from Lochsa Falls Subdivision. The preliminary plat should be revised to show
a stubbed commercial drive aisle and cross access easement to the north property line of
the property located to the south of the entrance off ofN. Linder Road, known as 6175 N.
Linder Road.
6. Pressure Irrigation: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be
supplied by a year-round source of water. 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 utilized, 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 irrigation system should be installed to all
landscape areas per the approved specifications and in accordance with DOC 11-3A-15
and MCC 9-1-28.

Knighthill Center Business Owners' Association.
