Paramount South 60 Subdivision AZ-06-026/PP-06-025
PAGE 4
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAt'}' REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JULY 6, 2006
dwellings per acre (see Page 95 of the Comprehensive Plan.) The proposed Preliminary Plat
includes 200 single-family lots on 59.81 acres for a gross density of 3.34 dwelling units/acre. The
proposed density complies with the anticipated density for this area.
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):
Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1 - Require that development projects have planned
for the provision of all public selVices.
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:
· Sanitary sewer and water service will be extended to the project at the developer's
expense.
· The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Meridian Rural Fire District.
Once annexed the land... 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 of the Ada County Sheriff's Office.
Once annexed the lands will be serviced by the Meridian Police Department (MPD).
· The roadlvays 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 bv the Meridian School District #2. This service
will not change.
· 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 VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 3 - Consider "Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian
Travel: A Recommended Approach" from the National Center for Bicycling and Walking in all
land-use decisions.
This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and walhvay facilities in new
construction and reconstruction projects, in a manner that is safe, accessible and convenient. The
applicant is proposing a pedestrian pathway that will access the future Rocky Mountain High
School to the north. Staff believes that the subject applications comply with the policies listed in
the literature noted above.
Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6 - Require street connections between subdivisions at
regular intelVals to enhance connectivity and better traffic flow.
The submitted preliminary plat proposes to extend the one stub street currently provided to this
property from the north. In addition, two stub streets are being proposed to the parcels to the east
and west that are currently zoned C-G and R-8, which staff anticipates will develop in the near
Paramount South 60 Subdivision AZ-06-026IPP~06-025
PAGE 5
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAfF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JULY 6, 2006
future. Staff believes that the applicant has done a nice job of connecting and extending the
existing stub street as well as providing for future connectivity to the east and west.
Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 13 - Review new development for appropriate
opportunities to connect to local roads and collectors ill adjacent developments.
See analysis ahove.
Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective D, Action 9 - Require new residential development to provide
permanent perimeter fencing to contain construction debris on site and prevent windblown debris
from entering adjacent agricultural and other properties.
The applicant is proposing to construct a six-foot tall closed fence around the boundary of this
development. Prior to house construction, fencing should be constructed around the perimeter of
this site. See Analysis below and Exhibit B for more information.
Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 5 - Require pedestrian access connectors in all new
development to link subdivisions together to promote neighborhood connectivity as part of a
community pathway system.
The applicant is proposing to constructfour-foot wide sidewalks adjacent to all of the proposed
streets, which connect to adjacent properties. Staff is supportive of the proposed pedestrian
connections.
Chapter VII, Goal IV, Obj ective C, Action 6 - Require pedestrian access in all new development
to link subdivisions together and promote neighborhood connectivity.
See above.
Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action I - Protect existing residential properties from
incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels.
The applicant is proposing a residential zone. Staff finds that the proposed and existing single-
family residential properties to the north, south, and east. are compatible with the proposed
development. The applicant is also proposing smaller lots on the west side q{ the development
that is adjacent to afuture commercial retail development.
Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective D, Action 8 - Require new urban density subdivisions which abut
or are proximal to existing low density resirlentialland uses to provide landscaped screening or
transitional densities with larger, more comparable lot sizes to buffer the interface between urban
level densities and rural residential densities.
Staff recognizes that there are some existing rural parcels to the east and south across W
McMillan Road. The applicant is proposing to constmet a six-foot tall privacy fence around this
development. Most q{ the future and currently developed subdivisions in the area and on the
perimeter of the development are R-8. Stafffinds that the proposedfencing should provide
enough screening between the proposed urban development and the rural areas surrounding it.
Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on any written or verbal testimony
providedfrom neighbors when determining if additional screening or more transition in density
is appropriate.

D. Required Findings from Unified Development Code
1. Annexation Findings:
Upon recommendation from the Commission, the Council shall make a full investigation
and shall, at the public hearing, review the application. In order to grant an annexation
and/or rezone, the Council shall make the fOllowing findings:
1. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive
plan;
The applicant is proposing to zone all of the subject property to R-8. Staff finds that the
proposed zoning map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the
comprehensive plan. Please see Comprehensive Plan Policies and Goals, Section 8, of the
Staff Report.
2. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed
district, specifically the purpose statement;
Staff finds that future development of this property will comply with the established
regulations and purpose statement of the R-8 zone.
3. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
and welfare;
Staff finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on
any oral or written testimony that may be provided when determining this finding.
4. The map amendment shall not result in an adverse impact upon the delivery of
services by any political subdivision providing public services within the City
including, but not limited to, school districts; and,
Staff finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not result in any adverse impact
upon the delivery of services by any political subdivision providing services to this site.
5. The annexation is in the best of interest of the City (UDC 11-5B-3.E).
The R ~8 zoning amendment will provide lots that are similar in nature to existing
subdivisions in the near vicinity, and transitions well to the existing rural lots in the
vicinity. Staff finds that all essential services are available or will be provided by the
developer to the subject property and will not require unreasonable expenditure of public
funds. The applicant is proposing to develop the land in general compliance with the
City's Comprehensive Plan. This is a logical expansion of the City limits. In. accordance
with the findings listed above, staff finds that Annexation and ZoninQ: of thiR nronertv to
R-8 would be in the best interest of the City.

the decision-making body shall make the following findings:
1. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;
Staff finds that the proposed application is in substantial compliance with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan. Please see Comprehensive Plan Policies and Goals, Section 8, and
Analysis, Section 10 of the Staff Report.

accommodate the proposed development;
Staff finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposed development.
(See Exhibit B of the Staff Report for more details from public service providers.)
3. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the
City's capital improvement program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, and utilities for the development at their
cost, staff fmds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital
improvement funds.
4. There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments from the public
service providers (Le., police, fire, ACHD, etc.) to determine this fmding. (See fmding
Items 3 and 4 above under Annexation Findings, and the Conditions of Approval in
Exhibit B for more detail.)
5. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general
welfare; and
Staff is not aware of any health, safety or environmental problems associated with the
development of this subdivision that should be brought to the Councilor Commission's
attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. Staff recommends that the
Commission and Council rcfcrcncc any public testimony that may be presented to
determine whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or
environmental problems of which staff is unaware.
6. The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features.
Staff is unaware of any natural, scenic or historic features on this site. Therefore, staff
finds that the proposed development will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of
any natural, scenic or historic feature(s) of major importance. Staff recommends that the

Dear Planners:
The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten
years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district
arc operating over capacity.
Approval of the Paramount South 60 Subdivision will have a significant impact on school
emollments at Prospect Elementary. Sawtooth Middle and Eagle High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house seventy (70) elementary
aged children, fifty-five (55) middle school aged children, and thirty-nine (39) senior high
aged students. Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded
situation. Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it may be
necessary to bus students to other schools across the district.
Sch'2~1 capacity is a4~~ssed in Id~lO Q9~e 67-6508. The M~!i~ian S~!J.ooU?~~tric~ ~~_________
currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact
on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 855-4500.
Sincerely,
~~-
