RE: H-2023-0050/7355 S Eagle Road/Reveille Ridge Subdivision
Sonya,
The City of Meridian has requested feedback regarding the proposed annexation with zoning
of R-8 (Medium density Residential) and R-15 (Medium High Density Residential) and a
preliminary plat for the Reveille Ridge Subdivision, which will consist of 246 buildable lots
and 38 common lots on 59.97-acres located at 7355 S Eagle Road, 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 Low Density Residential, which is primarily intended for
single-family homes at densities of two to four dwelling units per acre, and Medium Density
Residential, which is primarily intended for single-family homes at densities of three to eight
dwelling units per acre. As the gross density of the proposed project is 4.12 units per acre, the
application 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 24% 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.
The road connection proposed into the site from the east is in compliance by Goal 3.03.03C,
which requires street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance
connectivity and improve traffic flow, and the stub streets and accompanying sidewalk which
will be provided to the property to the north, south, and west is consistent with Goal 3.03.020,
which encourages new development to connect local roadways to adjacent properties.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and please feel free to contact me with any
questions.
Sincerely,
