RE: H-2024-0005 /5725 N Meridian Road/Pebblebrook Subdivision
Sonya,
The City of Meridian has requested feedback regarding the proposed annexation with zoning
of R-8 (Medium density Residential) and a preliminary plat for the Pebblebrook Subdivision,
which will consist of 54 buildable lots and 6 common lots on 13.94-acres located at 5725 N
Meridian 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 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 3.87 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 15% of the site with two pickle ball
courts, micro paths with open grassy areas, and two pet waste stations are supported by Goal
2.02.00, which encourages ample open space and generous amenities; Goal 2.01.01B which
encourages opportunities for physical activity to be provided with new development; and Goal
3.07.02A,which encourages usable open space to be incorporated into residential subdivisions.
The proposed extension of the two stub streets from the north and south into the site with
accompanying sidewalk, as well as the proposal to provide a stub street to north 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,
