as "Entryway Corridor" to the edge of the site. The overall site is not required to
provide entryway corridor landscaping. As sueh, the UDC (Table 11-2B-3) requires a
25-foot wide street buffer adjaeent to arterial roadways. The landscape plan (Sheet
Ll.1) proposes a 35-foot wide huffer lllong Overland Road. Ifthe applicant proposes
to construct the "Entryway Corridor" buffers in easements they must meet the
landscaping standards required in the UDC.
2. Width ofbuffer(s) between land uses: Table ll-2B-3 requires a 25-foot wide buffer
between eommereial uses on C-G-zoned land and residential uses. The properties to

greater than the 25' standards and no additional landscaping shall be required if the
landscape plan is installed as proposed.
3. Percentage of site as open spaee: The UDC does not require open space or site
amenities for commercial uses. The open spaee contained in the residential uses is
shown to be 3.3 acres or 16.4 percent and applied as an additional amenity. This
calculation should be reduced to not include any landscape buffers. The applicant
shall clarify these caleulations to be consistent with the amenity standards found in
UDC Chapter 3, Article G.
4. Other landscaping standards: The landscape buffer along intemal roads should be
eonstrueted in aceordance with UDC Chapter 3, Article B.

7. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS The subject site is designated 'Mixed
Use-Regional' on the Future Land Use Map. ill Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, this
designation is dermed in part as an area that is situated in highly visible or transitioning parts of
the City where innovative and flexible design opportunities are encouraged. The MU-R has no
upper limit on the square footage of non-residential uses and is intended to allow a broad range of
uses. The Comprehensive plan also shows a Regional Multiuse pathway at this loeation to
conneet to Overland Road and also along the Ridenbaugh Canal. The southeastern most comer of
tht: site is designated Public/Quasi public and provides tor a park site with a school connection.
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):
· Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all public services. (Chapter
VII, Goal III, Obj ective A, Action 1)
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 the following manner:
· 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 subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction oIthe 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 Cnunty 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.
Kenai Subdivision
AZ-06-021 !pP .06.019
Page 6
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF6/2712006
· The subject 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 subject 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 VII, Goal I, Objeetive B: Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities
within the Impact Area.
Stafffinds that the site is designatedfor MU-R on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Map. The designs of the products meet the overall goals of the Mixed use Regional
designation. The applicant has shown a mix of residential products, with an office and retail
component to their design.
· Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B, Action 5: Locate new community commercial areas on
arterials or collectors near residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining
residential areas.
Overland Road is classified as an arterial roadway. The applicant is proposing access from
the adjoining commercial areas from the public streets and shows micro paths and sidewalks
which will provide fiJture connection to residential areas south and west of the site along
Overland Road. Staff believes that the commercial areas proposed complement the existing
and planned residential areas in the vicinity.
· Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D: Encourage appropriate land uses along transportation
corridors.
Staff believes that the proposed land uses are appropriate along the adjoining transportation
corridors (Overland Road and Eagle Road).
· Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action 2: Restrict curb euts and access points on
collectors and arterial streets.
The ACHD evaluates access points in their analysis; no direct lot access is allowed to any of
the arterialleollector roadways. The proposed access points to the arterial streets generally
comply with ACHD 's standards. Please see the ACHD staff report and Exhibit B for the
conditions from ACHD. Kenai Way provides a collector system to the arterial roadway for
the internal circulation of residents.
· Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent
parcels (Chapter VII, Gua1 IV, Objective C, Action 1)
The properties adjacent to the subject site are designatedfor a wide variety of uses. South of
the site is developed with residential uses, east of the site are proposed commercial
developments also tied in with this project by a collector roadway and west of the site is the
Muuntain View High School. These uses are expected to continue as per the Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use Map as the proposal is the last phase of development between Eagle
and Locust Grove Road pm the south side of Overland. The project provides a transition from
the intense commercial uses along Eagle and Overland Roads into a mix of residential
densities from the C-G District to the R -15 District. The applicants have included residential
to residential use buffers along the north and west boundaries by providing a park corridor
and pathway connections.

· Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objeetive D, Action 5: Require appropriate landseape and buffers
along transportation corridor (setback, vegetation, low walls, benns, etc.).
The applicant is proposing to construct appropriate buffers along all of the adjacent arterial
streets. By ordinance, a minimum 25-foot wide landscape buffer is required adjacent to
residential uses and 35-foot wide landscape buffer to Gateway Corridors. The landscape
plan shows the appropriate landscape buffers.
Staff also finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text polieies to be applicable to this
application:
.
"Require all new parking lots to provide landscaping in internal islands." (Chapter V, Goal
III, Obj. D, #3, page 43)
"The capacity of arterial. . .roadways can be greatly diminished by excessive driveway
eonnections to the roadways. The City should cooperate with ACHD to minimize access
points on arterial. . .roadways as development applications are reviewed." (Chapter VI, page
72)
"Develop methods, sueh as cross-access agreements, frontage roads, to reduce the number of
existing access points on to arterial streets." (Chapter VI, Goal II, Obj. A, #12, page 79).
"Identify transitional zones to buffer commercial and residential uses, to allow uses such as
offices and other low intensity uses." (Chapter VII, Goal I, Obj. B, #7, page 102)
"Restrict curb cuts and aecesspoints on. . . arterial streets." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Obj. D,
#5, page 107)

a. Allowed Uses in the Commercial Districts: UDC Table ll-2B-2lists retail store/restaurant!
drive thruI office/ financial institute uses as permitted uses in the C-G zoning district.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose ofthe Commercial Districts is to provide for the
retail and service needs of the community in aceord 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 commcrcial 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 distriet is to provide for commereial uses whieh
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 loeated
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 permanent motoring public. All such
districts shall be connected to the municipal water and sewer systems of the city, and shall not

9. ANALYSIS
9a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
The PP/ AZ applications appear to substantially comply with the Unified Development Code.
However, there are several areas of clarification and some modifications required to the site plan,
building elevations, and amenities. Below are several speeial considerations for the P&Z
Commission to review at the public hearing:
Analysis of Faets Leading to Staff Recommendation
1. AZ Applieation (AZ-06-021) 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 set; Exhibit D for detailed analysis of the required facts and
findings for a Zoning Amendment.
The annexation legal descripliun submitted with the application (stamped on 317/06 by
D. Terry Peugh, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate
boundary of the City of Meridian.
The applicant will be responsible for all eosts assoeiated with the sewer and water
service extension. Any existing domestic wells and/or ~eptic systems within this
project will have to be removed from their domestie service when services are
available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non-domestic purposes
such as landscape irrigation.
All future development of the subjeet property shall be eonstructed in accordance with
Cily of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development. All future uses shall
not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of
Kenai Subdivision

CITY Of MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF6127/2006
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 require some written eonunitment for all future uses. Due to the
eomplexity of the proiect. mix of uses. public dedieations. and proximity of existing
and future residential uses (the multi-family component). staff believes that a
Development Agreement is necessary to ensure that this property is developed in a
fashion that is consistent with thlt_ somprehensive plan desirnation and does not
negatively impact nearby properties.
Staff believes that the Development Agreement should include the following
provisions:
· Phasinl! Plan: Generally, the applicant anticipates the phasing plan to begin with
the commercial lots near the Overland Road including the park site with Y2 the
residential products and then eontinue development to the south and east.
Construction is antieipated to reflect market demand and construction needs. Staff
is supportive of this request but believes that some of the amenities proposed with
the development should be construeted prior to the development build out.
Therefore, prior to issuance of any eertificate of zoning compliance all
landscaping shall be construeted along the southern and northern property
boundaries to the point of eonnection with adjoining projects. The
commercial/office lots should include either a permanent easement or be
redesigned to include landseaping in common lots along Overland Road.
· Non-Residential Buildings: The applicant has not requested a maximum square
footage of retail/restaurant/office spaces. Staff does not propose to limit the
applicant to allow greater flexibility for more marketable conditions. The
maximum square footage of one single building without design review shall be
60,000 square feet or a maximum of 40' in height. These standards are to mitigate
anticipated concern from adj oining n:sidt::ntial uses,
· Residential Buildinl!s: The applicant has shown several elevations for both alley
accessed residential, tuwnhouses, and detaehed single family residential products.
Staff supports these elevations but would also support better clarification of the
specific height. bulk, types of materials. and locations proposed for each type to
address the coneerns of adjoining property owners and to include within the DA.
· Pathways: The applicant shall coordinate with the Meridian Parks Department
and Nampa Meridian Irrigation District to defme the location of the multiuse
pathway, bridge maintenance, and landseaping along the Ridenbaugh Canal and
along the western property boundary to the area where the proposed R-15 zone
transitions to the C-G zone. The pathwav shall then connect to the proposed
detached sidewalks along: S. Kenai Wav and continue internallv throu2h the
site to connect with E. Overland Road. The applicant shall comply with all
design and maintenance standards as defined by UDC 11-3A~8 unless speeifically
waived by the Meridian City Council.
· Park: The applicant shall also coordinate with the Meridan Parks Department the
transfer by dedication of the 2.035 acre addition to the Kiwanis Park. The
applieant shall also be responsible for all costs of dedication, construction,

landseaping and pathway construction as agreed upon.
That the applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with the sewer and water
service extension. Any existing domestie 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 purposes such as landscape irrigation.
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-06-0l9): The proposed preliminary plat substantially complies
with the Zoning Ordinance.
Special Considerations:
Sidewalks: The applicant is proposing to construct 5-foot wide sidewalks on sumt: uf
the internal streets/drive aisles. The sidewalks may be detached from the curb with an
8-foot wide landscape strip as shown on the collector road cutouts. The proposed
landscape strips include trees and grasses. The applicant is proposing to plant trees
between the curb and the sidewalk to provide the pedestrians with cover and to make
the streetscape more attractive. Tht: second eommercial eollector design would
incorporate median strips with trees planted in the eenter of the road. The width of
the planter strip between the sidewalk and the curb shall be a minimum of 8-feet wide
and include Class II trees. Since the applicant has submitted a plan which details
these items staff would support the sidewalk designs as shown on the landseape plan.
Land Use Buffers: UDC requires landscape buffers between different land uses. Per
UDC 11-3B-9, a 25-foot wide landseape buffer is required between single-family
homes and C-G 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 intem;ity use has not provided the buffer.
The applicant is showing a transition area between the single-family homes and the
detached single family residential lots, as well as the commercial and multifamily lots
on the landscape plan. The applicant should be required to ereate an appropriate
landscape buffer along the lots that transition from commercial to multifamily. The
single-family lots would then not need a land use buffer from the multifamily lots.
Said buffer shall contain materials in aecordance with UDC 11-3B-9 and not include
impervious surfaces such as parking areas or driveways. The nature of the land use
buffer shall be reviewed when the applicant proposes to develop the multifamily lots
through conditional approval.
The western and southern boundaries are proposed to be buffered by the park and
pathways. The pathway proposed shall be landseaped in aceordance with UDC 11-
3B-12 which will meet the buffer requirements. See Exhibit B below.
Landscape Street Buffers:
Arterials: UDC 11-2H requires a 25-foot wide street buffer along classified
arterial roadways. Overland Road is classified as an Arterial Road. On the
submitted landscape plan, the applicant is proposing to construct a 35-foot wide
street buffer along Overland Road. The applicant should be required to depict the
Page 11
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF6/27/2006
Kenai Subdivision
AZ-06-021/PP -06-019
required street buffers on the face of the final plat in an easement or place the
required buffers in common lots as per UDC 11~3B. See Exhibit B below.
Commercial Streets: UDC 11-2B requires a la-foot wide street buffer along
commercial roadways. On the submitted landscape plan, the applicant is
proposing to construct an 8-foot wide street buffer along both sides of Gala
Street, Blue Horizon Drive and Kenai Way. The intemallots shall be required to
provide the additional landscape buffer to the proposed sidewalks. The applieant
shall revise the design to include the street buffer easements on the plat. The
applicant should be required to depiet the required la-foot wide street huffer
easements along collector and local roads on the face of the final plat.
Ditches. Laterals. and Canals: There are several inigation laterals that hisect this
pareel. Per UDC 11-3A-6, all inigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of
natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous to the area
bcing subdivided shall be tiled. The applicant is proposing to tile all of the inigation
facilities located on site with the exception of the Ridenbaugh Canal. See Exhibit B
below.
Pressure hrigation: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized inigation systems
be supplied by a year-round source of water (lIDe 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 conneetion 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 irrigation system
should be installed to all landscape areas per the approved specifications and in
accordance with City Code. See Site Exhibit B below.
Fencing: The applicant is not showing a fence along the perimeter of the property
which would meet the standards of the UDC. A detailed fencing plan should be
submitted upon applieation of the final plat (UDC ll-3A-7). If permanent fencing is
not provided, temporary eonstruetion fencing to eontain debris must be installed
around the perimeter prior to issuance of a building pennit. All fcncing should be
installed in accordanee with City Code. See Exhibit B below,
Cross-access Internal: There are some cornmerciallots that do not have frontage on a
public street. Instead the applicant is proposing to provide cross-access easements to
the lots that do not have publie street frontage. Because several of the proposed lots
do not have frontage on a public street, the applicant should provide a cross
parking/cross access agreement for all of the lots within the office and commercial
portions of the subdivision to use the driveways and parking aisles. The Meridian
Fire Department and Planning Department require that private streets as proposed
must obtain Private Street approval as per UDC 11-3F. The purpose of the
commercial private streets is to provide addressing for emergency serviees to these
intemallots. Maintenance of the drive aisles and parking areas should be provided
for in a note on the face of the final plat, AND/OR in a document such as CCRs. See
Exhibit B below.
Elevations: Neighboring properties havc expressed concerns with prior projects and
in relation to higher density residential (R-15) proposals in the general neighborhood.
To mitigate the anticipated concerns staff recommends that design review standards
apply to the site; the applicant's commercial products shall be subject to design
review if the proposed buildings meet either of the following criteria:
Page 12
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF Rl::PORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF6/27/2006
· The total square footage of the building is greater than 60,000 square feet; or
· The building height is greater than 40 feet.
The elevations will need to be reviewed prior to issuance of CZC to comply with the
following ordinance standards:
a) Facades: Facades visible from a public street shall incorporate modulations in the
fac;ade, roof line recesses, and projections along a minimum of twenty percent
(20%) of the length ofthe facade.
b) Roof lines: Roof design shall demonstrate two or more of the following: a)
overhanging eaves, b) sloped roof..; c) two (2) or more roof planes; d) varying
parapet heights; and e) cornices.
c) Mechanical equipment: All ground-level and rooftop mechanical equipment shall
be screened to the height of the unit as viewed from the property line.
d) Color and Materials: Exterior building walls shall demonstrate the appearance of
high-quality materials of stone, brick, wood or other native materials. Smooth-
faeed eoncrete block, tilt-up concrete panels, or prefabricated steel panels are
prohibited exeept as accent materials.
Refuse/Serviee Area Screen: Neither the Site Plan or Landscape Plan call-out how or if the
refuse/serviee areas in the C-G sites will be screened. 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.
Common/Open Soace: The applicant has a qualified applieation meeting the requirements of
UDC 11~3G. The proposal is showing 16.4% of qualified open space in the residential
distriet whieh meets the requirements of a minimum of 5% open space.
Multi-Use Pathway: The applicant is not showing, but will be required to install, a multiuse
pathway in aeeordance to the Comprehensive Plan. The pathway shall he (JIang the
Ridenbaugh Canal in a location to be agreed upon with the Parks Director and Nampa
Meridian Irrigation District. Currently, NMID has a 50' easement upon whieh the applicant
is proposing to install the pathway. All NMID standard conditions shall be applied to this site
and all pedestrian access easements shall be enacted. The applieant shall be responsible for
eontinuing the pathway along the western property boundary to the area where the
proposed &-15 zone transitions to the C-G zone. The pathway shall then connect to the
proposed detached sidewalks alone: S. Kenai Way and continue internally throue:h the
site to cunnect with E. Overland Road.
Staff will require the applicant to construct or bond for improvements to the multi-use
pathway prior to occupancy of any commercial building. The pathway c01U1eetion is listed as
an amenity to the residents and users of the site and will be essential for pedestrian
e01U1ection from the Ridenbaugh Canal pathway to the Locust Grove Overpass which will be
the essential North/South transition point for pathway interconnectivity in the City of
Meridian. The pathway with the associatcd landscape standards will alsu buffer the future
commercial uses and the transitional residential lot sizes to the existing Thousand Springs

Subdivision which is north of the site, Therefore, the pathway shall be a priority to be
completed as soon as practical with the future development of the site.
Amenities: The applicant is required to provide one amenity per 20 acres. The applicant is
showing qualified site amenities as follows:
11-3G-3C-l - Quality oflife amenities - Picnic area in Lot 1 Block 7
11-3G-3C-2 - Recreation amenities - Public Park with Multiuse Pathways, Open Space
11-3G-3C-3 - Bicycle circulation amenities - Several blocks are connected with an
internal 5' pathway which will be required to connect to the required Multi-use Pathway
along the Ridenbaugh Canal.
Amenities are generally located centrally and in common lots. These eommon lots shall
be maintained by the Kenai (Home or Business) Owners Association. The landscape
architeet shall eertify that one tree per 8,000 square feet of lawn has been provided on the
landscape plan.
9b. Staff Recommendation: Based on the above analysis, staff finds the AZ/PP applications
substantially conform with the Comprehensive Plan policies and UDC standards. As noted under
"Spt::~ial Cunsideratiuns," wt:: rt::~uIlllut::nd that lub 56-59 ufBlu~k 3 be: rt::designed with a palhway
stub, building elevations be submitted in compliance within the required design standards, conditional
approval be reviewed for the multifamily products, and a private street section for eross aceess
between Gala Street and Kenai Way be submitted. On Mav 4.2006 the Planning and Zoning
Commission voted to reeonunend approval of the subiect application with the conditions listed in
Exhibit B of the StaffRevort. On .Tune 27. 2006 City Council annroved the subiect annJications.
