III. STAFF ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC)
A. General Overview
The Applicant proposes to annex 7.98 acres of land with an R-8 zoning district. A
preliminary plat and conceptual building elevations were submitted showing how the
property is proposed to be subdivided and developed with 41 single-family residential
detached dwelling units at a gross density of 5.51 units per acre. The proposed use and
density of the development is consistent with the Medium Density Residential (MDR)
FLUM designation of 3-8 units per acre.
Single-family detached homes are in the development process to the west and south while to the
south of the railroad,the planned Medium High-Density Residential development consists of
attached,townhouses, and, and multifamily dwellings. 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. 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 VII. The City may require a
development agreement(DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to Idaho Code section
67-651IA. If this property is annexed, Staff recommends a DA is required with the provisions
discussed herein and included in Section IV.

standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district. The proposed plat
complies with the dimensional standards of the district.
FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER
FOR(Pivot Point—H-2024-0029) -8-
C. Design Standards Analysis
1. Site Design Standards (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-19):
Goals 2.01.02D,2.01.01 G,and 2.02.02C emphasize a diversity of housing types throughout
the city to meet the needs,preferences and financial capabilities of Meridian's present and
future residents. Additionally,these goals promote infill development that does not negatively
impact existing developments. The subject site is adjacent to the established R-8
developments (Chesterfield Subdivision No. 1 and Horse Meadows Subdivision)to the east
and west. To the south is county residential land not yet annexed into Meridian,and to the
north is W. Pine Avenue. The preliminary plat and conceptual building elevations were
submitted showing how the property is proposed to be subdivided and developed with 41
single-family residential detached dwelling units at a gross density of 5.51 units per acre(see
Sections VII.G). The proposed use and density of the development are consistent with the
MDR FLUM designation.Additionally,the proposed single-family detached dwellings with a
mix of lot sizes will contribute to the variety of housing options in this area and within the
City as desired.
Single-family detached homes are in the development process to the west and south while to
the south of the railroad,the planned Medium High-Density Residential development consists
of attached,townhouses, and, and multifamily dwellings. 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. 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 VII. The City may
require a development agreement(DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to Idaho
Code section 67-651IA. If this property is annexed, Staff recommends a DA is required with
the provisions discussed herein and included in Section IV.
2. Qualified Open Space &Amenities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3G):
Goals 2.02.00 and 2.02.0113 of the Comprehensive Plan focus on creating safe, attractive, and
well-maintained neighborhoods with ample open space, diverse amenities, and alignment
with community needs and values.
Open Space Requirements (UDC 11-3G-3):
a. Baseline Requirement: For developments zoned R-8 (Medium Density Residential)a
minimum of 15%of the subdivisions area(7.98 acres) shall be qualified open space.
The applicant is proposing 1.15 acres of qualified open space exceeding the 1.12
acres required to meet the minimum standard. However, Staff recommends Lot 2,
Block I is removed to create more integrated open space. The placement of Lot 2,
Block I creates an isolated parcel that abuts open space, a gravel access road, and
street landscape buffers. Additionally, the lot creates possible conflict points when
having to ingress and egress for the property owner. Due to these concerns, staff
finds that UDC 11-3G-3-2b "Open space shall be accessible and well connected
throughout the development"is not being met.
The subdivision features two main open space areas: a linear space along the
Kennedy Lateral and another linear space on Lot 19, Block 1.The common lots 6,
FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER
FOR(Pivot Point—H-2024-0029) -9-
12, 22,and 33 do not count as qualified open space but are provided throughout
the development.The Applicant illustrates the lateral as piped underground.
The large central open space area is approximately 45,935 feet in size and is the
largest usable common area within the project.The applicant proposes a gravel
access road and micro-pathway that runs through the open space for pedestrian
connectivity and irrigation district access.The linear open space along the
Kennedy Lateral is approximately 50 feet in width and over 500 feet in length.
This linear open space connects with the Chesterfield No. 1 Subdivision's open
space.This is discussed more in the amenity section below.
Amenity Requirements (UDC 11-3G-4):
For single family subdivisions 1 amenity point is required for each 5 acres of gross land area.
The subject project size of 7.98 acres requires a minimum of two(2)amenity points. The
applicant is proposing the following amenity.
a. An outdoor fire pit worth 1 point.
b. A pathway(does not meet the requirements to qualify for a point)
In order for the pathway to count towards the amenity requirements it shall be paved
and landscape in accord with UDC 11-3A-8 and 11-313-12.0 to connect to N.Biltmore
Avenue and W. Pine Avenue.If the irrigation district does not allow for these
improvements within the easements the applicant shall provide an additional qualifying
amenity equaling one point or more with the final plat application.
3. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B):
i. Landscape buffers along streets
A 20-foot wide street buffer is required adjacent to Pine, a collector street. This buffer
should be landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-313-7C and placed into a
common lot that is at least as wide as the required buffer width;this common lot should
also contain the detached sidewalk required along W.Pine Avenue. Due to the
neighboring subdivision to the east(Chesterfield Subdivision No. 1)having an attached
sidewalk along W. Pine Avenue,the sidewalk on the east of N. Biltmore Avenue with
Pivot Pointe will become attached. The landscape plans appear to show compliance with
these requirements.
ii. Tree preservation
A Tree Mitigation Plan should be submitted with the final plat detailing all existing trees
and methods of mitigation outlined by the City Arborist before any trees are to be
removed as set forth in UDC 11-313-10C.5.
iii. Storm integration
Storm drainage is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-18.
Drainage swales should not be within the landscape setbacks along W. Pine Avenue.
iv. Pathway landscaping
Landscaping is required along all pathways with a minimum of 5-feet wide shall be
provided on each side of the pathway with a mix of trees, shrubs,lawn,and/or other
vegetative ground covers per the standards listed in UDC 11-313-12C; the landscape plan
should be revised accordingly.
FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER
FOR(Pivot Point—H-2024-0029) - 10-
4. Parking (UDC 11-3C):
i. Residential parking analysis
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.
5. Building Elevations (Comp Plan,Architectural Standards Manual):
Goal 5.01.02D of the Comprehensive Plan highlights the need for effective building design
and landscaping to buffer, screen,beautify,and integrate commercial,multifamily,and
parking areas with existing neighborhoods. In response,the developer has submitted twelve
(12)conceptual building elevations and floor plans that illustrate the appearance of future
homes in the development(see Section VII.H).
The proposed designs include variations of both one-and two-story homes, each featuring a
two-car garage. The elevations showcase a range of architectural styles and design elements,
including lap siding,diverse color accents,varied roof profiles, and different home styles.
Staff review confirms that these elevations adhere to the city's architectural standards and
comply with the required design criteria.
Homes on lots that abut W.Pine Avenue, a collector street,-will be highly visible;therefore,
the rear and/or side of structures on these lots (i.e. Lots 2, 16, 17, 18, 19,20,Block 1 and Lot
2,Block 2) should incorporate articulation through changes in two or more of the following:
modulation(e.g.projections,recesses, step-backs,pop-outs),bays,banding,porches,
balconies,material types,or other integrated architectural elements to break up monotonous
wall planes and roof lines that are visible from the subject public street. Single-story
structures are exempt from this requirement.
6. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. According to
the submitted landscape plans,the applicant is proposing two types of fencing throughout the
site,vinyl solid fencing and wrought iron semi-privacy fencing.
D. Transportation Analysis
1. Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4):
Goals 6.01.01H and 6.01.0213 of the Comprehensive Plan stress the need to minimize the
number of direct access points onto arterial streets. This can be achieved through cross-access
agreements, access management, frontage and backage roads, and enhancing connectivity
through local and collector streets. Additionally,these goals highlight the importance of
incorporating pedestrian access connectors in new developments to link subdivisions and
support neighborhood connectivity within a community pathway system.
The proposed access for the development includes W. Pine Avenue from N. Biltmore Avenue
and W. Quarterhorse Lane from the west. The project relies on the Horse Meadows
Subdivision,which is directly to the west,to reconstruct a portion of W. Quarterhorse Lane
(currently a private road)into a public street. This will provide a secondary public street
access. The existing curb cut on W. Pine Avenue will be removed, and curbing will be
extended across the driveway.
FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER
FOR(Pivot Point—H-2024-0029) - 11 -
Access from W. Pine Avenue via N.Biltmore Avenue must align with N. Biltmore Avenue
on the north side of Pine. However,ACHD has indicated that this alignment does not meet
their policy requirements and will need to be revised before the final plat submission.
Since the final plat for Horse Meadows Subdivision has been submitted but not yet recorded,
there is currently only one access point to the site.
Given that this property and the surrounding areas are designated as R-8 (Medium Density
Residential)on the Future Land Use Map, staff recommends including a stub street to the
south to facilitate future connectivity,in line with UDC 11-3A-3A.2. The proposed
preliminary plat appears to comply with these standards.
2. Pathways (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-81):
Goals 4.04.01 and 4.04.02 of the Comp Plan emphasize connecting local pathways from
neighborhoods with regional pathways in commercial/community serving areas.No multi-use
pathways are proposed or required with this development because the master pathways plan
does not show any multi-use pathways adjacent to the subject site. The applicant is proposing
attached sidewalks along all local streets that will connect to the detached sidewalks proposed
along W. Pine Avenue. Additionally,the applicant is proposing a gravel micro-pathway along
the Kennedy Lateral for better connectivity and pedestrian connection to the open spaces.
Staff recommends adding a 5-foot micro-pathway on Lot 19,Block 1 to improve access and
pedestrian connectivity to W. Pine Avenue for the western part of the subdivision.
Additionally, staff recommends the gravel path leading to the Kennedy Lateral is paved and
pathway to count towards the amenity requirements it shall be paved, landscaped,and
extended in accord with UDC 11-3A-8 and 11-3B-12.0 to connect to N. Biltmore Avenue
and W. Pine Avenue. If the irrigation district does not allow for these improvements within
the easements the applicant shall provide an additional qualifying amenity equaling one point
or more with the final plat application license agreement is entered with NMID for use of the
gravel access road. With these additions, staff supports the proposed pathways and their
design.
3. Sidewalks (UDC 11-3A-17):
A detached side walk is proposed along W. Pine Avenue until the development crosses onto
the east side of Biltmore where it becomes attached to connect with Chesterfield Subdivision
No. 1. Five-foot wide attached sidewalks are proposed within the development in accord with
UDC 11-3A-17 standards.
4. Subdivision Regulations (UDC 11-6):
i. Dead end streets
Dead end streets and Cul de sacs(N.Axis Avenue and W. Pivot Place)do not extend
further than 500 feet and have less than 30 dwelling units. The applicant has met the
dead-end streets regulations as listed in UDC 11-6C-3.
ii. Common driveways
The common drive shall meet the standards set forth in UDC 11-6C-3. The applicant is
proposing a single common drive which has 4 lots taking access from it. Three(3)lots
are taking access on the south side and one(1)from the north side. Additionally,the
common drive is 31.50 feet wide and does not exceed 150 feet in length. The common
drive meets these standards.
iii. Block face
Block faces are proposed in the development in accord with UDC 11-6C-3. The applicant
is in compliance with this standard

E. Services Analysis
1. Waterways (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-6):
Goal 4.05.01 D of the Comprehensive Plan discusses the importance of improving waterways
throughout the city and residential areas. The Kennedy Lateral runs through the center of the
site. The Nampa Meridian Irrigation District(NMID)requires an easement for the Kennedy
Lateral. The easement for the Kennedy Lateral at this location is a minimum of one hundred
feet(100')total, fifty feet(50') each side. The applicant is proposing to keep the Lateral but
will be tiling it underground to provide larger linear open space.
2. Pressurized Irrigation(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.
3. 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.
4. Utilities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-21):
Connection to City water and sewer services is required and are available to be
extended by the developer with development in accord with UDC 11-3A-21 and
Goals 3.03.03G & 3.03.03F. Urban sewer and water infrastructure and curb, gutter,
and sidewalks are required to be provided with development of the subdivision.
