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.
Although dwelling units are typically desired in the MDR designation,the Comprehensive Plan
does allow requests for office uses (i.e.L-O zoning),at the discretion of City Council,for areas
with a Residential FLUM designation if the property only has frontage on an arterial street or
section line road and is 2-acres or less in size.In this instance,no ancillary commercial uses are
permitted.
The subject property meets the aforementioned criteria.Although the requested use is not
office,education institutions are listed as an allowed use in the L-O zoning district and Staff
deems the uses similar in terms of intensity of use and impacts to adjacent properties.
Therefore,the Applicant requests City Council approval of an education institution use on this
property in accord with the Comprehensive Plan.
Transportation: East Ustick Road,which runs along the front/north side of this property, is depicted
as a residential arterial street on the Master Street Map(MSM). There are no stub streets from
adjacent developments to this property.
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):
• "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 provided to this property in accord with
UDC 11-3A-21.
• "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 is available to this property. Curb, gutter and sidewalk
has been constructed along E. Ustick Rd. in accord with UDC standards.
Page 3
• "Ensure development provides safe routes and access to schools,parks, and other community
gathering places."(2.02.01G)
A mostly attached sidewalk exists along the frontage of this property adjacent to E. Ustick
Rd., a residential arterial street. There are no pathways to the site from adjacent
developments.
• "Maximize public services by prioritizing infill development of vacant and underdeveloped
parcels within the City over parcels on the fringe."(2.02.02)
Annexation and redevelopment of the subject infill parcel will maximize public services.
• "Ensure the location and design of schools are compatible with existing and planned
neighborhoods and land uses."(2.03.01D)
The proposed school should be compatible with adjacent existing residential uses in the
vicinity.
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS
A. Annexation&Zoning(AZ):
The Applicant proposes to annex 1.11 acres of land with an L-O zoning district for the
development of a public education institution(charter school for high school age students)in
West Ada School District. City Council approval is needed to approve the proposed use and
zoning in the MDR FLUM designation as mentioned above in Section V.
The site is within the Area of City Impact(AOCI)boundary and is contiguous to City annexed
land to the south,east and west. A legal description was submitted for the boundary of the
annexation area, included in Section VIII.A below.
There is an existing 2,259 square foot(s.f.) single-family dwelling on this site,which is proposed
to be enlarged to 8,000 square feet and converted to an education institution. The existing
structure is required to connect to City water and sewer service within 60 days of
annexation and disconnect from private service,as set forth in MCC 9-1-4 and 9-4-8.
A public education institution is listed as a permitted use in the proposed L-O zoning district per
UDC Table 11-2A-2, subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-14. The specific
use standards require a conditional use permit(CUP)when the education institution takes access
from a collector or an arterial street and there is not a safe, separate pedestrian ad bikeway access
between the neighborhood and the school site. A CUP is requested concurrent with the
annexation request(see analysis below).
The City may require a development agreement(DA)in conjunction with an annexation pursuant
to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. To ensure this property develops as proposed and required,
Staff recommends a DA with the provisions discussed herein and included in Section IX.A.
B. Conditional Use Permit(CUP):
A CUP is requested for a public education institution that takes access from an arterial street(i.e.
E. Ustick Rd.)without a safe, separate pedestrian and bikeway access between the neighborhood
and the school site,as required by UDC 11-4-3-14E.
The proposed charter school will serve high school age students and educates students in small
groups or 1:1 support sessions,which should be low impact on adjacent residential uses. The
Applicant states that the school features a very low student-to-teacher ratio and no extracurricular
or outdoor activities.
Page 4
Dimensional Standards: The proposed development is required to comply with the dimensional
standards listed in UDC Table 11-2B-3 for the proposed L-O zoning district.
Specific Use Standards: The proposed use is required to comply with the specific use standards
listed in UDC 11-4-3-14F,Education Institution, as follows:Staffs analysis is in italics.

and is visible from such a street,the portable classroom shall be screened from
view of the street with a minimum of one(1)evergreen tree per fifteen(15) feet
of linear structure. The tree shall be a minimum of six(6) feet in height.
G. Additional standards for education institution,private. The applicant shall provide written
documentation that the facility meets the minimum site area guidelines as established by
the Idaho State Department of Education.Not applicable.
H. Additional standards for vocational or trade schools. The applicant shall provide written
documentation that the school will have a major curriculum relating to technological

1. Parking space requirement. In all commercial and residential districts,education
institutions shall provide one(1)parking space for every four hundred(400) square feet
of gross floor area.Based on an 8,000 s.f. building, a minimum of 20 off-street parking
spaces are required to be provided; a total of 33 parking spaces are depicted on the site
plan, exceeding the minimum standard by 13 spaces, which should assist in providing
additional parking for the 12+/-staff members.
Based on the number of vehicle spaces provided, a minimum of two(2)bicycle parking
spaces should be provided in a bicycle rack that meets the standards listed in UDC H-
3C-5C.
Access: There are two(2)existing driveway curb cuts to this site via E.Ustick Rd., an arterial
street; no other accesses are available to the site. Only one(1) access driveway is proposed with
redevelopment of the site as shown on the site plan. A driveway is proposed to the property to the
east for future interconnectivity.
Where access to a local street is not available,the UDC(11-3A-3A.2)requires the property owner
to grant cross-access/ingress-egress to adjoining properties via a recorded easement. This
property and the adjacent property to the east only have access to an arterial street(i.e. Ustick
Rd.);therefore, an easement should be granted to the property to the east in the location where the
driveway is proposed,unless otherwise waived by City Council. A copy of the recorded
easement shall be submitted to the Planning Division with the Certificate of Zoning
Compliance application.
The hatched area shown on the plans at the east end of the row of parking on the south side of the
building is proposed as a turnaround area.
Traffic: A Focused Traffic Study that includes a public school checklist was submitted to ACHD
for the proposed development by TJW Engineering, Inc. as required by Idaho State Statute 67-
6519. ACHD has not yet completed their review of this study/checklist but should prior to the
City Council meeting.
To avoid traffic conflicts on Ustick Rd. the Applicant should ensure vehicles do not stack on
Ustick Rd.waiting to turn into the site or park along Ustick Rd.to pick-up or drop-off
students.
To better facilitate traffic flow within the site, Staff recommends the angled parking along
the west boundary of the site is changed to 90-degree parking,which will allow vehicles to
exit the site easier without requiring them to turn around in the constrained area on the
Page 7
southern portion of the site.Seventeen (17)foot long parking spaces may be provided with a
25 foot wide drive aisle and no wheel stops in parking spaces.
Sidewalks/Pathways: A 7-foot wide(mostly)attached sidewalk exists along E.Ustick Rd.
Detached sidewalks are required along arterial streets per UDC 11-3A-17; however,because the
existing sidewalk is in good condition, Staff doesn't recommend it's reconstructed as a detached
sidewalk.
A sidewalk is proposed on the south side of the building adjacent to parking that ranges from 5 to
7 feet in width. If wheel stops are not provided in parking spaces abutting the 5-foot wide
area to prevent vehicle overhang,the sidewalk should be widened to 7 feet in accord with
UDC 11-3C-5B.4. If the sidewalk is widened to 7 feet,the length of the parking spaces may be
reduced to 17 feet if desired.
A 5-foot wide sidewalk is proposed from the perimeter sidewalk along Ustick Rd. to the main
building entrance in accord with UDC 11-3A-19.B.4. A sidewalk ranging from 3' to 7' wide is
also proposed along the west side of the building for safe pedestrian access to the main building
entrance on the north side of the building. The sidewalk should be widened to a minimum of 5
feet in accord with UDC 11-3A-17A.
Landscaping: A 25-foot wide street buffer is required along E. Ustick Rd., an arterial street,
landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. The tree class should be included in the
Proposed Plant Material legend and should demonstrate compliance with the required standards
(25%of the required trees should be Class 11; and 35%of qualifying trees must provide urban
canopy at maturity. The landscape plan depicts a buffer with the required number of trees and
plantings in accord with UDC standards.
Parking lot landscaping is required in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-8C. Class II
or III trees are required in perimeter buffers; tree class should be added to the plant legend
to demonstrate compliance.Planter islands are required at the ends of rows of parking to reduce
the visual impact of long rows of parked cars and to guide traffic; a planter island should be
added at the west end of the row of parking on the south side of the building alongside the
sidewalk that complies with the standards in UDC 11-3B-8C.2a.
The UDC(Table 11-2B-3)requires a minimum 20-foot wide buffer to residential uses in the L-O
zoning district,landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-9C. Residential uses abut the
site on three sides—to the west, south and east. The Applicant requests City Council approval
of a modified buffer width along the west property boundary that varies from 11+/-' at its
narrowest point to 12+/-'with an allowance for up to 2-feet of vehicle overhang within the
buffer from adjacent parking spaces. Such requests are allowed to be considered by City
Council at a public hearing with notice to surrounding property owners.The building will
not encroach into any of the required buffer areas. The buffer is required to include a mix of
evergreen and deciduous trees, shrubs, lawn or other vegetative groundcover—evergreen trees
should be included in the buffer.Typically,the buffer area should result in a barrier that allows
trees to touch within 5 years of planting; however,because a 6-foot tall screen/privacy fence is
proposed,the planting requirement may be reduced to a minimum of one(1)tree per 35 linear
feet,plus shrubs, lawn,or other vegetative groundcover.
Note:If Council does not approve the reduced buffer width requested along the west boundary of
the site, a 20 foot wide buffer shall be provided as set forth in UDC Table 11-2B-3. Note: This
would reduce parking to 22 spaces as there wouldn't be adequate room to accommodate parking
along the west boundary, which still complies with the parking standards in UDC 11-4-3-14I but
likely would not be adequate for the site.
Mitigation is required for existing healthy trees 4"caliper and greater that are removed from the
Page 8
site as set forth in UDC 11-3B-10C.5. There are 19 existing healthy trees on the site totaling 405
caliper inches, 11 of which,totaling 186 caliper inches,are proposed to be removed—these
require mitigation. The other eight(8),totaling 219 caliper inches,are proposed to be preserved
and protected on the site—these trees are proposed to be counted toward the mitigation
requirement. Existing trees being retained on the site may count toward required
landscaping but do not count toward mitigation requirements; the landscape plan should be
revised accordingly.
Fencing: Fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. Fencing exists
around the perimeter of the site; however,the applicant proposes to construct new 6-foot tall
aluminum frame vinyl around the perimeter of the site as shown on the site plan. If/when the
abutting property to the east redevelops with a non-residential use,the fence shall be
removed between the two properties where the driveway stubs to the property line to enable
cross-access between the properties.
Utilities (UDC 11-3A-21): Connection to City water and sewer services is required in accord with
UDC 11-3A-21. Street lights will be required to be installed with redevelopment of the
property in accord with the City's adopted standards,specifications and ordinances.
Waterways: There are no existing waterways that cross this site.
Pressurized Irrigation System (UDC 11-3A-15): Underground pressurized irrigation water is
required to be provided to the development as set forth in UDC I I-3A-15.
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.
Hours of Operation: The hours of operation for the school will be from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm
year-round, closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Cohort start times are varied throughout the day
and the campus is closed during the times the adjacent homes are most likely to be occupied. The
majority of the students are anticipated to leave the campus by 3:00 pm each day. The L-O
zoning district limits business hours of operation from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm.
Building Elevations: Building elevations and a floor plan were submitted for the proposed
school building as shown in Section VIII.D. Final design of the structure is required to comply
with the design standards listed in the Architectural Standards Manual(ASM).The
architectural character of the building should relate to adjacent residential uses.New
construction must share at least three similar accent materials,field materials,or other
architectural feature of a building within 150-feet of the property in accord with ASM Goal
1.213.
Certificate of Zoning Compliance/Design Review:A Certificate of Zoning Compliance(CZC)
and Design Review application is required to be submitted to the Planning Division and approved
prior to submittal of building permit application(s). The application materials should be
updated as necessary to comply with the conditions contained in Section IX.
