V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
LAND USE: This property is designated as Medium Density Residential(MDR) on the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM)contained in the Comprehensive Plan. This designation allows for dwelling units at gross densities
of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre.
The subject 1.002-acre property currently contains an existing home and is an enclave surrounded by
existing single-family residential homes. The subject site abuts an R-8 development to the west and south,
Cherrywood Village Subdivision;to the east is an R-4 development, Rods Parkside Creek Subdivision; and
to the north are two R-4 developments, Golf View Estates Subdivision and Cherry Lane Village Subdivision.
The subject property is designated as Medium Density Residential on the future land use map consistent with
the approved development to the west. The Applicant proposes a 4-lot subdivision for single-family
residential detached homes and one existing single-family detached home at a gross density of 3.99 units per
acre,which is within the desired density range of the MDR designation.
Goals,Objectives,&Action Items: Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable
to this application and apply to the proposed use of this property(staff analysis in italics):
• "Encourage a variety of housing types that meet the needs, preferences, and financial capabilities of
Meridian's present and future residents."(2.01.02D)
The proposed single-family detached dwellings and one existing single-family detached dwelling
with a mix of lot sizes will contribute to the variety of housing options in this area and within the
City as desired. Existing single-family attached and detached dwellings are in the Medium-Density
Residential development to the west and south and existing Medium Low-Density Residential
developments consisting of detached dwellings are located within the surrounding area.
• "Permit new development only where it can be adequately served by critical public facilities and
urban services at the time of final approval, and in accord with any adopted levels of service for
public facilities and services."(3.03.03F)
City water and sewer service is available and can be extended by the developer with development in
accord with UDC 11-3A-21.
• "Avoid the concentration of any one housing type or lot size in any geographical area;provide for
diverse housing types throughout the City." (2.01.01G)
This area consists primarily of single family detached homes with some single-family attached
homes located to the west; only single-family detached homes and one existing single-family
detached home are proposed within this development. The proposed development offers lot sizes
ranging from 5,148 to 9,210 square feet(sf.)with the existing home on a 9,524 sf. lot.
• "Require all new development to create a site design compatible with surrounding uses through
buffering, screening,transitional densities, and other best site design practices."(3.07.01A)
The proposed medium-density residential single-family detached homes contribute to the variety of
residential categories within the surrounding area as desired.
• "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land."
(3.07.00)
The proposed site design provides maximum use of the land with the proposed residential dwelling
types and should be compatible with the existing developments on adjacent properties that are also
designated for MDR uses.
• "Support infill development that does not negatively impact the abutting, existing development.
Infill projects in downtown should develop at higher densities,irrespective of existing
Page 5
development." (2.02.02C)
The proposed development will not likely impact the existing abutting developments to the east, west,
and south.
• "Ensure development is connected to City of Meridian water and sanitary sewer systems and the
extension to and through said developments are constructed in conformance with the City of
Meridian Water and Sewer System Master Plans in effect at the time of development."(3.03.03A)
The proposed development will connect to City water and sewer systems with development of the
subdivision;services are required to be provided to and through this development in accord with
current City plans.
• "Require pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions together and promote
neighborhood connectivity."(2.02.01D)
A 7-foot-wide existing pedestrian sidewalk connection is located along W. Cherry Lane. The existing
sidewalk provides a link between all subdivisions east and west of this site.
• "Require urban infrastructure be provided for all new developments, including curb and gutter,
sidewalks,water and sewer utilities."(3.03.03G)
Urban sewer and water infrastructure and curb, gutter, and sidewalks are required to be provided
with development of the subdivision.
• "Eliminate existing private treatment and septic systems on properties annexed into the City and
instead connect users to the City wastewater system; discourage the prolonged use of private
treatment septic systems for enclave properties."
If annexed, the existing home will be required to abandon the existing septic system and connect to
the City wastewater system.
• "Maximize public services by prioritizing infill development of vacant and underdeveloped parcels
within the City over parcels on the fringe."(2.02.02)
Development of the subject infill parcel will maximize public services.
Based on the analysis above, staff finds the proposed development is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan.
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS
A. ANNEXATION(AZ)
The Applicant proposes to annex 1.002 acres of land with an R-8 zoning district. A legal description and
exhibit map for the annexation area is included in Section VIII.A. This property is within the City's Area
of City Impact boundary.
A preliminary plat and conceptual building elevations were submitted showing how the property is
proposed to be subdivided and developed with 3 single-family residential detached dwelling units, I
existing single-family detached dwelling unit, and 1 common lot at a gross density of 3.99 units per acre
(see Sections VIII.C, E). The proposed use and density of the development are consistent with the MDR
FLUM designation.
Single-family detached dwellings are listed as a principal permitted use in the R-8 zoning district per
UDC Table 11-2A-2. Future development is subject to the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table
11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district.
Page 6
There is an existing home on approximately a quarter of an acre adjacent to W. Cherry Lane. The
property owner intends to annex and connect to City utilities with this development.
The property is contiguous to City annexed land to the north and is within the City's Area of City Impact
boundary. A legal description and exhibit map of the overall annexation area for the R-8 zoning districts
are included in Section VIII.A.
The City may require a development agreement(DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to
Idaho Code section 67-6511A. If this property is annexed, Staff recommends a DA is required with
the provisions discussed herein and included in Section IX.A.
B. PRELIMINARY PLAT(PP):
The proposed preliminary plat consists of 4 building lots and 1 common lot on 1.002-acre property in the
proposed R-8 zoning district. Proposed lots range in size from 5,148 to 9,524 square feet(s.f.)(or 0.12 to
0.22 acres). The proposed gross density of the subdivision is 3.99 units per acre. The subdivision is
proposed to develop in one phase as shown in Section VIII.B.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements: An existing home on the property is proposed to remain on
Lot 2,Block 1. The outbuildings located on Lots 1 and 3, Block 1 should be removed with development
of this property. Prior to the City Engineer's signature on the final plat, all existing structures that
do not conform to the setbacks of the district are required to be removed.
Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2): The proposed plat and subsequent development are required to
comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table I1-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district. The
proposed plat appears to comply with the dimensional standards of the district, except for the
front porch on the existing home which encroaches more than two feet into the required setback
(see landscape buffers below for analysis). Per UDC 11-2A-3B.3, lots taking access from a common
drive do not require street frontage.
Access: Access is proposed from W. Cherry Lane from a common driveway on Lot 1,Block 1. Direct
lot access from W. Cherry Lane for Lot 2,Block 1 is prohibited. The interior Lots 3,4, 5, Block 1 are
proposed to take access via a common drive to W. Cherry Lane,meeting the street access requirements
of UDC 11-3A-3A.
Common Driveways (UDC 11-6C-3D): Common driveways shall serve a maximum of four(4)
dwelling units. In no case shall more than three (3) dwelling units be located on one(1) side of the
driveway. The Applicant is proposing four(4) dwelling units take access off the main common
driveway,all four(4) dwelling units are also located on one(1) side of the driveway. However,three(3)
dwelling units are taking access via a side common drive that connects to the main common drive. The
Director has determined that the proposed orientation of the dwelling units off the side common drive
meets the intent of the UDC code.
Parking(UDC 11-3C): Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed
in UDC Table 11-3C-6 for single-family dwellings based on the number of bedrooms per unit. Staff will
confirm compliance with these standards at the time of building permit submittal for each residence. The
Applicant has provided an additional three(3)parking stalls at the end of the common drive on the
southeast side of the site for overflow parking. The existing home does not meet the required number of
off-street parking spaces per UDC Table 11-3C-6 for a three(3)bedroom home; four(4)parking spaces
are required,at least 2 in an enclosed garage, other spaces may be enclosed or a minimum 10-foot by 20-
foot parking pad. The existing home does not have an enclosed two-car garage;however,the required
number of parking spaces is provided via an existing carport and driveway.
The carport shares a roofline with the existing home and is currently accessed from the west;
access to the carport will change to the south upon approval and completion of the subdivision
Page 7
site improvements once the entry point to the carport is shifted to the south and the common
drive is constructed. The Applicant is also proposing to add a fence to provide additional
screening of the carport from W. Cherry Lane. The existing home is recognized as non-
conforming due to the off-street parking requirements in UDC 11-3C-6. Per UDC 11-IB-4, no
existing structure containing a nonconforming use may be enlarged, extended, constructed,
reconstructed, moved, or structurally altered except through the approval of a conditional use
permit. As a result of the non-conformity,the Applicant is required to apply for a Conditional
Use Permit for any future expansions on the property.

Landscaping(UDC 11-3B): A twenty-five foot landscape buffer is required along W. Cherry Lane in
accord with UDC 11-3B-7. The landscape plan submitted depicts a 20-foot landscape buffer along W.
Cherry Lane that includes four(4) existing trees. The Applicant has proposed a water-conserving design
aimed to reduce the required landscape buffer to 20 feet in width. However, the proposed design lacks
features like boulders, rocks, and/or permeable hardscape materials such as pavers and flagstones, and
water conserving grasses. The design should incorporate plants and trees that thrive in climates with
approximately ten (1) to twelve(12) inches of annual rainfall. Staff recommends that the Applicant
revise the landscape plan to comply with the requirements for a water-conserving design in accordance
with UDC 11-3B-5.2.0).
Sidewalks(11-3A-17): Cherry Lane is improved with an existing 7-foot wide attached concrete
sidewalk abutting the site in accord with UDC standards. Staff is not recommending that this sidewalk be
replaced with and 7-foot detached sidewalk.
Utilities(UDC 11-3A-21): Connection to City water and sewer services is required in accord with UDC
11-3A-21. The existing home proposed to remain on Lot 1,Block 1 is required to connect to City water
and sewer service within 60 days of it becoming available as set forth in MCC 9-1-4 and 9-4-8.
Street lighting is required to be installed in accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and
ordinances.
Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, I1-3A-7): All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC
11-3A-7. The Applicant is proposing fencing in front of the carport for screening provided there is
not a conflict with the proposed layout of the fire hydrant service line. A detail of the fencing
should be provided with the final plat.
Pressurized Irrigation System (UDC 11-3A-15): Underground pressurized irrigation water is required
to be provided to each lot within the subdivision as set forth in UDC 11-3A-15. Given that the
Page 8
property possesses irrigation rights and access, surface water rights should be used as the primary
source over the groundwater well in accordance with the regulations of Settlers Irrigation District.
Settlers Irrigation District does not permit the exclusion of water rights to the subject parcel.
Storm Drainage(UDC 11-3A-18):An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments
in accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances.Design and construction shall
follow best management practice as adopted by the City as set forth in UDC 11-3A-18.
Building Elevations: Three (3)conceptual building elevations were submitted that demonstrate what
future homes in this development will look like(see Section VIII.E).Variations of one-story homes with
a three-car garage are proposed. The submitted elevations depict a number of different architectural
and design styles with field materials of lap siding,differing color accents,roof profiles, and stone.
VII. DECISION
A. Staff:
