Home My WebLink AboutCC - Narrative - Phrase 1 AT PIACE :J Narrative Attached for your review and favorable consideration are the Avani Place Residential Community applications located south of Franklin Road on Black Cat Road. We respectfully request approval of our Final Plat application for phrase 1. For design and planning purposes, our design team used the Meridian City Pre-Application Meetings, Neighborhood Meetings,the Comprehensive Plan,Ten Mile Area Specific Plan and Zoning Code as the policy basis for the design of the Avani Community. We have thoughtfully designed 67 single-family residential dwellings on 11.88 acres that will add to the surrounding neighborhood. Located on the east side of Black Cat Road and south of Franklin Road,Avani Place will add to the mix of Meridian's available housing opportunities. Homeowners will have access to on-site amenities such as a 1%-acre park, playground, community pool, pickleball courts, pathways, and attractive landscaping. Off-site amenities include access to The Ten Mile Crossing/Interstate, retail, and commercial businesses along Ten Mile Road.This Project will provide homes that people can afford on a property that will utilize existing utilities and roads that have been planned for developments in this area.

This property is designated Medium-High Density Residential (MHDR) on the future land use map. In the TMIASP, MHDR is designed for a density of 8-15 units per acre. However, in the new comprehensive plan, the MHDR desired density was lowered to 8-12 units per acre. After a comprehensive market analysis, our team has determined that with the large number of apartment and multi-family projects approved in the Ten Mile Area, developing more apartments at this location is not feasible. With Avani Place's mix of single-family detached, single-family attached units, and alley homes, the project will achieve slightly less than 8 units per acre. This will help to create the mix of densities for this area that the comprehensive plan envisions, which will transition between the future light office on warehouse developments on the west and the intense commercial, retail, and lifestyle center planned on Ten Mile Road. Residents of Avani Place will enjoy a walkable community that is close to shopping, employment opportunities, and regional transportation arteries. .oanuw u.rr u••n ou u id Ut Nl �h IdyIL FHpp MR'.

Phrase 1 will consist of 68 homes on over 11 acres. Avani will provide much-needed housing options that people can afford in this quickly developing area of Meridian, which will help support commercial and retail uses near the Ten Mile Interchange. Pathways and sidewalks within the development will encourage walkability to the neighboring schools, businesses, and retail areas. A centrally located park will welcome residents and create a sense of place and a feeling of community. We have purposefully designed single-level homes along the Black Cat Road and the future Vanguard Way Mid-Mile Collector Road frontage to provide a more aesthetically pleasing view from the roadway. Vanguard Way will be an important part of the transportation and utility connectivity network in the TMASP area. _f-„ „-`. i I r ij I . r Avani Place—Narrative 06/19/2024 Page 3 AT PIACE Exhibit C — Community Amenities PROJECT AMENITIES As the developer, we have researched and interviewed past homeowners and used the city ordinances as a guide to plan the most productive amenities for this neighborhood.
