RE: H-2023-0006 /4135 W Cherry Lane/ Crowley Park Subdivision
Sonya,
The City of Meridian has requested feedback regarding the proposed annexation with zoning
of R-8 (Medium density Residential) and a preliminary plat for the Crowley Park Subdivision,
which will consist of 5 detached single-family homes and 1.0-acres located at 4135 W Cherry
Lane, within the City's Area of City Impact.
Ada County is supportive of the application due to the proximity of the site to existing public
services. Goal 2.2f of the Ada County Comprehensive Plan encourages residential development
to occur at urban densities within Areas of City Impact where public facilities are
available. As the Future Land Use Map of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, as adopted by
Ada County,designates the site as Medium Density Residential, which is primarily intended for
single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre, the proposed zoning
of R-8 (Medium density Residential) is compatible with the comprehensive plan.
The layout of the development also complies with many of the goals of the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan with the proposal to dedicate over 20% of the site as open space is
supported by Goal 3.07.02A, which encourages usable open space to be incorporated into
residential subdivisions. The proposed mix of housing types, including a mix of single-family
homes and townhomes, is compatible with Goal 3.07.011 which encourages a variety of
housing types within the city which will be suitable for various income groups.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and please feel free to contact me with any
questions.
Sincerely,
Saw-"
