Lead Agency: City of Meridian Site address: 3100 N Centrepoint Way Staff Approval: November 17, 2022 Applicant: Trevor Schur - - - BDE Architecture 53 W. Jackson Boulevard, Ste 1532 Chicago, IL 60604 Representative: Mike Mafia MGM Meridian LLC 5 Naranja Way Portola Valley, CA 94028 , L K. fMIN : Staff Contact: Dawn Battles I ' Phone: 387-6218 i E-mail: dbattles(cD-achdidaho.orq A. Findings of Fact 1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow for the development of 213 multi-family units within five 3-story buildings and one 2-story building on 10-acres. The site is zoned C-G (General Retail & Service Commercial), and the applicant's proposal is consistent with the City of Meridian's future land use map which designates this site as mixed use regional. 2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area: Direction I Land Use Zoning North General Retail & Service Commercial C-G South Medium Density Residential/ Medium-High Density Residential/ R-8/R-15/C- General Retail & Service Commercial G East General Retail & Service Commercial C-G West Low Density Residential R-2 3. Site History: ACHD staff previously reviewed this site as MER18-0094/ H-2018-0121 in January 2019 for Villasport, an athletic club. The requirements of this staff report are consistent with those of the prior action. 4. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site. 1 Centrepoint Apartments/ MER22-0084/ H-2022-0072 5. Pathway Crossings: United States Access Board R304.5.1.2 Shared Use Paths. In shared use paths, the width of curb ramps runs and blended transitions shall be equal to the width of the shared use path. AASHTO's Guidelines for the Development of Bicycle Facilities 5.3.5 Other Intersection Treatments: The opening of a shared use path at the roadway should be at least the same width as the shared use path itself. If a curb ramp is provided, the ramp should be the full width of the path, not including any flared sides if utilized. . . . Detectable warnings should be placed across the full width of the ramp. FHWA's "Designing Sidewalks and Trails for Access" (1999) reflected common ADA-related concepts: Chapter 6, Page 16-6: The width of the ramp should be at least as wide as the average width of the trail to improve safety for users who will be traveling at various speeds. In addition, the overall width of the trail should be increased, so the curb ramp can be slightly offset to the side. The increased width reduces conflict at the intersection by providing more space for users at the bottom of the ramp. 6. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0 centerline miles of new public road. 7. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any building permits. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that time. The impact fee assessment will not be released until the civil plans are approved by ACHD. 8. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/ Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP): • Locust Grove Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be widened to 3-lanes with the construction of pedestrian and bike facilities on both sides of the roadway from Ustick Road to McMillan Road with the design year in 2025 and the construction date has not been determined. • Locust Grove Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be widened to 5-lanes with the construction of pedestrian and bike facilities on both sides of the roadway from Fairview Avenue to Ustick Road with the design year in 2026 and the construction date has not been determined. • The intersection of Ustick Road and Locust Grove Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 7-lanes on the north leg, 6-lanes on the south, 6-lanes east, and 6-lanes on the west leg, and signalized between 2026 and 2030. 9. Roadways to Bikeways Master Plan: ACHD's Roadways to Bikeways Master Plan (BMP) was adopted by the ACHD Commission in May of 2009 and was update in 2018. The plan seeks to implement the Planned Bicycle Network to support bicycling as a viable transportation option for Ada County residents with a wide range of ages and abilities, maintain bicycle routes in a state of good repair in order to ensure they are consistently available for use, promote awareness of existing bicycle routes and features and support encouragement programs and to facilitate coordination and cooperation among local jurisdictions in implementing the Roadways to Bikeways Plan recommendations. The BMP identifies Ustick Road as existing Level 2 facilities and Centrepointe Way as existing Level 1 facilities. B. Traffic Findings for Consideration 1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 1,249 vehicle trips per day; 101 vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour, based on the traffic impact study. 2. Traffic Impact Study Kittelson & Associates initially prepared a traffic impact study for this site in 2018 for Villasport, an 89,000 square foot health and fitness facility. Because the proposed use has changed, Kittelson & 2 Centrepoint Apartments/ MER22-0084/ H-2022-0072 Associates prepared an abbreviated traffic analysis for the Centrepoint Apartments which includes trip generation comparison, a parking analysis and cut-through trip evaluation (attachment 3). a. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The traffic impact analysis indicates that the current proposed use will generate 1,651 fewer average daily trips and 166 fewer PM peak hour trips than the prior proposed use for the Villasport facility. The traffic impact analysis indicates the site proposes to exceed the minimum parking spaces required as established by ITE standards. Furthermore, the cut-through traffic analysis indicates that the only reason traffic from the multi-family development would travel south into the existing residential development would be to specifically visit one of the residences and there should not be a concern. 3. Condition of Area Roadways Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per hour(VPH) Functional PM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour Roadway Frontage Classification Traffic Count Level of Service **State Highway 55 None Principal Arterial 1,968 N/A Eagle Road Ustick Road 847-feet Principal Arterial 1,359 Better than "E" Centrepointe Way 338-feet Local N/A N/A * Acceptable level of service for a five-lane principal arterial is "E" (1,780 VPH). ** ACHD does not set level of service thresholds for State Highways or local streets. 4. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT) Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD's most current traffic counts. • The average daily traffic count for Eagle Road north of Ustick Road was 51,136 on June 19, 2019. • The average daily traffic count for Ustick Road west of Eagle Road was 26,223 on April 17, 2019. • There are no current traffic counts for Centrepoint Way south of Ustick Road. C. Findings for Consideration 1. Ustick Road a. Existing Conditions: Ustick Road is improved with 5-travel lanes, vertical curb and gutter abutting the site. A 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk exists abutting the site on the west side of Centrepoint Way and no sidewalk abutting the site on the east side of Centrepoint Way. There is 86 to 122-feet of right-of-way for Ustick Road (50 to 80-feet from centerline). b. Policy: Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Master Street Map and Typology Policy: District Policy 7205.5 states that the design of improvements for arterials shall be in accordance with District standards, including the Master Street Map and Livable Streets Design Guide. The developer or engineer should contact the District before starting any design. 3 Centrepoint Apartments/ MER22-0084/ H-2022-0072 Street Section and Right-of-Way Width Policy: District Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 state that the standard 5-lane street section shall be 72-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) within 96- feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates two travel lanes in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike lanes on a minor arterial and a safety shoulder on a principal arterial. Right-of-Way Dedication: District Policy 7205.2 states that The District will provide compensation for additional right-of-way dedicated beyond the existing right-of-way along arterials listed as impact fee eligible in the adopted Capital Improvements Plan using available impact fee revenue in the Impact Fee Service Area. No compensation will be provided for right-of-way on an arterial that is not listed as impact fee eligible in the Capital Improvements Plan. The District may acquire additional right-of-way beyond the site-related needs to preserve a corridor for future capacity improvements, as provided in Section 7300. Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7205.5.7 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide to be constructed on both sides of all arterial streets. A parkway strip at least 6-feet wide between the back-of-curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians. Consult the District's planter width policy if trees are to be placed within the parkway strip. Sidewalks constructed next to the back-of-curb shall be a minimum of 7-feet wide. Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway. Meandering sidewalks are discouraged. A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right- of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement. Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to existing streets adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These improvements are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk construction or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, arterial street requirements, and specific roadway features required through development. This segment of Ustick Road is designated in the MSM as a Residential Arterial with 5-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 72-foot street section within 97-feet of right-of-way. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing 5-foot wide detached meandering concrete sidewalk abutting the site. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to construct 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. However, the sidewalk should be parallel to the roadway, as meandering sidewalks are discouraged under ACHD policy. The detached sidewalk should be located a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of Ustick Road abutting the site. Provide an 8-foot wide planter strip if street trees are desired. 4 Centrepoint Apartments/ MER22-0084/ H-2022-0072 The applicant should be required to provide a permanent right-of-way easement to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk for detached sidewalks located outside of the dedicated right-of-way. Sidewalk shall be located wholly within right-of-way or wholly within an easement. The applicant should be required to repair or replace any damaged or deficient portions of vertical curb, gutter and sidewalk on Ustick Road abutting the site. 2. Centrepoint Way a. Existing Conditions: Centrepoint Way is located within the site in alignment with Centrepoint Way on the north side of Ustick Road across from the site and is improved with 2-travel lanes (29-feet of pavement), extruded curb and no gutter. A 5-foot wide temporary asphalt pathway exists on both sides of Centrepoint Way abutting the site. There is 54-feet of right-of-way for Centrepoint Way. b. Policy: Local Roadway Policy: District Policy 7207.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all local street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District Policy 7207.5 states that right-of-way widths for all local streets shall generally not be less than 47-feet wide and that the standard street section shall be 33-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). Standard Urban Local Street-33-foot Street Section and Right-of-way Policy: District Policy 7207.5.2 states that the standard street section shall be 33-feet (back-of-curb to back-of- curb)for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. This street section shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall typically be constructed within 47-feet of right-of-way. Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7207.5.7 states that five-foot wide concrete sidewalk is required on both sides of all local street, except those in rural developments with net densities of one dwelling unit per 1.0 acre or less, or in hillside conditions where there is no direct lot frontage, in which case a sidewalk shall be constructed along one side of the street. Some local jurisdictions may require wider sidewalks. The sidewalk may be placed next to the back-of-curb. Where feasible, a parkway strip at least 8-feet wide between the back-of-curb and the street edge of the sidewalk is recommended to provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians and to allow for the planting of trees in accordance with the District's Tree Planting Policy. If no trees are to be planted in the parkway strip, the applicant may submit a request to the District, with justification, to reduce the width of the parkway strip. Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway. Meandering sidewalks are discouraged. A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right- of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement. c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to reconstruct/widen Centrepoint Way as a 40-foot street section south of Ustick Road tapering down to a 23-foot street section on the south side of the proposed driveways and widening the remainder of the roadway to a 33-foot street section south to the site's south property line. The applicant is proposing to improve Centrepoint Way with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk. 5 Centrepoint Apartments/ MER22-0084/ H-2022-0072 d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to widen/reconstruct Centrepoint Way meets District policy and should be approved as proposed with the exception of the 23-foot street section which requires the construction of a 33-foot street section south of the driveways to the site's south property line. The lane configuration and striping at the intersection with Ustick Road should be consistent with Centrepoint Way on the north side of Ustick Road across from the site. The applicant will be responsible for the design and construction of any modifications to the existing signal at the Centrepoint Way/Ustick Road intersection. The applicant should be required to dedicate right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk, or for detached sidewalk, the applicant can reduce the right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of curb and provide a permanent a permanent right-of-way easement that extends from the right-of- way line to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk.

The information presented in this memorandum was developed based on conversations with Preserve West Capital (the applicant) and the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) and the Ada County Highway District (ACHD). Figure 1 shows the proposed site plan and Figure 2 shows the site vicinity of the development. The site in question was previously approved with a different development in 2018/2019 however that development has not been constructed. Given that the site had a previous approval, Kittelson has coordinated with ACHD and ITD on what transportation information is required for the proposed new use on the site. Based on these conversations, ACHD requested the following items be addressed in this memorandum: ■ Project Description ■ Trip Generation Comparison ■ Parking Analysis ■ Cut-Through Trip Evaluation FILENAME.-H.-127127301 -EAGLE USTICK MUL TIFAMIL Y RESIDENTIAL I REPORTI SCOPING MEMO127301 -EAGLE USTICK MUL TIFAMIL Y RESIDENTIAL TRANSPORTATION MEMO.DOCX Eagle/Ustick Road Multifamily Residential Development Transportation Memo Project#:27301 June 3,2022 Page 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The previously approved site consisted of an 89,000 square foot VillaSport health and fitness facility. The site proposed three access points: one at Centrepoint Way and one at E Picard Street,with a right- in right-out access on Ustick Road. Since the 2018 study,the right-in right-out access to Ustick Road has been constructed and named Cajun Lane. The proposed Eagle Road/ Ustick Road Multifamily Residential Development is located on approximately 10 acres of land south of Ustick Road between Centrepoint Way and Cajun Lane in Meridian, ID.To replace the previously approved VillaSport,the development proposes 259 multifamily residential dwelling units and is classified as a mid-rise residential development per the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 111" Edition. Future commercial and retail development is also proposed on the site between Cajun Lane and Eagle Road (SH 55) but is not included as part of this study. The site is currently zoned C-G (commercial general), which allows for multi-family residential development with a Conditional Use Permit ("CUP"). Buildout of the proposed multifamily residential development is expected by 2024. The Multifamily Residential Development will provide four accesses upon buildout: two access points on Centrepoint Way, which intersects with Ustick Road, and two access points on Cajun Lane, which intersects with Ustick Road at a right-in/right-out access (see Figure 2).The new site proposal accesses differ from the previous proposal slightly with the development of Cajun Lane but are otherwise in similar locations as the 2018 study.

The previously approved development application proposed an 89,000 square foot VillaSport health and fitness facility. Table 1 shows a comparison of the trip generation assumed in the 2018 VillaSport transportation impact study to trip generation calculations for the proposed multi-family residential development. A description of the trip generation rate calculations and assumptions can be found in the 2018 TIS (Reference 2).

As can be seen from the table, the proposed multifamily residential development is expected to generate fewer trips than that of the existing approved VillaSport development. The multifamily development is projected to generate 1,651 fewer daily trip ends, 80 fewer weekday AM peak hour trip ends, and 166 fewer weekday PM peak hour trip ends compared to the currently approved use for the site.

The City of Meridian Code of Ordinances requires a minimum number of off-street vehicle parking spaces for multi-family developments, shown in Table 2. Table 2: City of Meridian Parking Code Requirements BedroomsUse and Form Number of �JL (Per Unit) Studio 1 per dwelling unit 1 1.5 per dwelling unit;at least 1 in a covered carport or garage Dwelling,Multifamily(triplex,fourplex, 2/3 2 per dwelling unit;at least 1 in a covered carport apartments,etc.) or garage 4+ 3 per dwelling unit;at least 2 in a covered carport or garage Guest spaces 1 per 10 dwelling units The preliminary site plan for the multi-family residential development provides a parking summary for 259 dwelling units, shown in Figure 3.

As can be seen in Figure 3, the proposed site plan provides a total of 457 parking spaces which exceeds that required by the City of Meridian Code. Based on the ITE Parking Generation Manual, 51h Edition, the average peak parking demand rate for multifamily housing (mid-rise) on a weekday is 1.31 parking spaces per dwelling unit. The site proposes 259 dwelling units which would result in a peak parking demand of 340 parking spaces per the ITE Kittelson&Associates,Inc. Boise,Idaho Eagle/Ustick Road Multifamily Residential Development Transportation Memo Project#:27301 June 3,2022 Page 7 parking rates. As Figure 3 shows, the site proposes 457 parking spaces, which exceeds the minimum established by ITE standards. CUT-THROUGH TRIP ANALYSIS An existing single-family development located south of the proposed site is connected to the proposed development at Centrepoint Way and Cajun Lane.That residential development is boarded to the south and west by fencing and does not connect to the roadway network except at the same locations as this proposed multifamily development. Because of this, unless going to specific visit one of the residences in the south development, there would be no reason for traffic from the proposed multifamily residential development to use the internal roadways to the south. The only connections that the multifamily residential development will likely use are highlighted in Figure 4. Ai_ NP 99 bin X i • Figure 4: Cut Through Analysis Kittelson&Associates,Inc. Boise,Idaho Eagle/Ustick Road Multifamily Residential Development Transportation Memo Project#:27301 June 3,2022 Page 8 A COMPASS model and existing traffic volumes were used to develop a trip distribution pattern (shown in Figure 5) and resulting site trip assignment (shown in Figure 6) to further assess the actual number of site trip potential on the segments shown in Figure 4.The most likely traffic on the segments shown on Figure 4 will come from people traveling outbound south on Eagle Road, which provides access to 1-84. Because the access is right-in right-out only, an inbound cut through along these segments is only possible from southbound traffic on Eagle Road. As can be seen in Figure 6, the proposed site contributes 30 outbound trips in the AM peak and 15 outbound trips in the PM peak at the Seville Road and Eagle Road access. Inbound traffic at the same access contributes 3 trips in the AM peak and 9 trips in the PM peak. Given the small number of additional trips from the proposed site that utilize the Seville Lane and Eagle Road access for inbound and outbound traffic, we conclude that cut through traffic in the existing residential development segments (E Seville Lane, N Cajun Lane, E Picard Lane, and E Picard Street)will not be a significant concern. We trust this memorandum provides the information requested for ACHD's review of the proposed multifamily residential development.
