Community Metrics III. STAFF ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC) A. General Overview The subject site is designated Mixed-Use Regional(MU-R) on the future land use map and is part of a much larger area of MU-R along the Eagle Road corridor that includes The Village, Regency at River Valley apartments, as well as multiple other commercial users and a large undeveloped area. Specifically, within the MU-R area in this southwest corner of Eagle and Ustick, there is the Jackson Square development and commercial buildings to the south and on the hard corner to the northeast. The Comprehensive Plan discusses that projects should not contemplate uses across arterials even if they share the same future land use designation as it is not anticipated for users or residents to readily walk or bike across these transportation facilities. However, Staff finds it prudent to analyze all projects in this area with at least the four corners of development around the Ustick and Eagle intersection because, in reality, the transportation impacts and expected users will come from and go beyond just the southwest corner of this intersection. To the north are a number of big box stores (Kohl's, Dick's, and Hobby Lobby) and the new Brickyard vertically integrated development; to the north east is Lowe's and various other commercial and restaurant buildings; to the east is Trader Joe's, multiple restaurants, and the Verraso townhomes; and to the southeast are traditional garden style apartments, restaurant users, and the Village. In terms of the ratio of commercial to residential within this area, there is currently a healthy mix of commercial and residential uses within walking distance of each other. Staff finds the addition of the proposed multi family development limited to the number of units in the existing development agreement near the existing and proposed commercial development would offer residential to support the mix of commercial uses in this area. Therefore, Staff believes the proposed project as currently approved through the existing CUP is generally consistent with the MU-R designation because the subject MU-R area currently consists of a number of retail, restaurant, office, and residential uses available to the region and the addition of these units should not over saturate this area with residential.

Staff Analysis B. History and Process The subject application encompasses one(1)parcel located south of E. Ustick Road. The parcel was part of a Development Agreement Modification and Conditional Use Permit(CUP) application in 2019 that removed the subject parcel from an existing Development Agreement (DA)for the purpose of entering into a new DA with a new conceptual plan and building elevations (H-2018-0121, DA Inst. #2019-060877) and a request for a new athletic club and spa (indoor recreation facility), Villasport. The CUP approval for the indoor recreation facility has since expired and the property was sold. The current CUP and DA (H-2022-0035 DA Inst#2022- 079000) was approved to construct a mixed-use development consisting of commercial space and a 215-unit multi family development in lieu of an athletic club/spa and commercial building. The proposed CUP and DA modification proposes a deed restricted affordable multi family development with 279 units. C. Site Development and Use Analysis The submitted conceptual site plan (Exhibit VILD) depicts five(5) multi family buildings with internal access. The multi family is split into three (3) 4-story buildings on the larger area of the site east of Centrepoint Way, one(1) 4-story building west of Centrepoint Way and one (1) 4- story building on the east side of Cajun Lane. The submitted landscape plan shows a 25 foot landscape buffer along the west and southern perimeter of the property. According to the specific use standards for multi family development(UDC 11-4-3-27), common open space may not be counted towards the required minimum when it is adjacent to arterials unless approved through the CUP process. Therefore, the proposed open space shown may not all be qualified open space if Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council do not approve it in its current location. This is concerning because if the Commission does not approve it, the proposed site plan and open space will be further diminished from complying with the minimum open space standards and revisions would likely be needed. The previously approved CUP and MDA: • Maximum of two hundred thirteen ftqy one(213-) units • Limited building height limited to three(3)stories • Met the intent of the open space requirements • Provided the following qualifying amenities: a clubhouse with a business lounge,plaza areas, a swimming pool, a fitness facility, an outdoor kitchen, a dog run, a micro path system, sports courts, and a bicycle repair room. All of the proposed amenities except the proposed dog run are located within the central open space area or part of the three (3) central buildings. The proposed amendment to the CUP and MDA: • Two hundred seventy-nine (279) units • Requesting four(4)stories and an increase in building height to 45 feet. • Does not meet the open space requirement(deficient by 8,940 sf). The applicant is asking for alternative compliance for qualified open space requirement stating the site is irregular, has a unique targeted demographic of an affordable housing community, has significant indoor and outdoor passive and active amenities and excellent connectivity to public parks within walking distance.Although the project is located less than one-mile from the Charles F.McDevitt Youth Sports Complex,Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park and Champion Park; the residents would have to cross either Ustick Road, a residential arterial or Eagle Road, a State highway to access them. • Proposing the following qualifying amenities: a clubhouse with a fitness facility; children's play structure; dog park with a waste station;shaded picnic area with BBQ City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis grills, tables, benches and landscaping;shaded plaza/courtyard with activity lawn; a micro path system, sports courts and a bicycle repair area. The sports courts and dog park are located near N. Cajun Lane. Based on the analysis, staff feels the applicant is proposing too many units for development to be compliant with the Comprehensive Plan and UDC requirements. Staff feels if the proposal loses the parallel parking stalls along the north property line and relocate the open space away from Ustick Road, an arterial, it would be a nice addition to the community. 1. Existing Structures/Site Improvements (UDC 11-1): There are no existing structures on the site. The applicant will need to submit a Certificate of Zoning Compliance(CZC)and Design Review(DES) application for review and approval prior to building submittal. 2. Proposed Use Analysis (UDC 11-2): Staff finds the proposed use of multi family to be generally consistent with the MU-R designation because the subject MU-R area currently consists ofseveral retail, restaurant, office, and residential uses available to the region and the addition of these units would not over-saturate this area with residential. City Council approved the existing modification to the current development agreement(MDA DA Inst. #2022-079000) in July 2022 (H-2022- 0035) with a reduction in units from what was originally submitted. The applicant is proposing and additional sixty-four(64) units above the approved 215 units. The main points of discussion through the MDA process were regarding traffic,parking, and the proposed building heights. City Council required each "area"of the project to be self- parked so that residents would not have to cross any drive aisle or Centrepoint Way to get to their assigned parking space. Although buildings A, BI and B2 within the proposed development are not self-parked within their respective areas of the site, as shown in the table below, the proposal meets the parking requirement as outlined in UDC 11-3C. The applicant is requesting a modification to the existing DA to increase the number of units and increase the building height from three(3)stories to forty-five(45)feet in height instead of stories. Stafffeels in order to maintain cohesiveness with the surrounding area, the building height should remain as shown on the proposed concept plan below. 3. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2): The proposed development is required to comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-213-3 for the C-G zoning district and those within the specific use standards for Multi-family Development discussed above(UDC 11-4-3-27). The submitted plans show compliance with all dimensional and specific use standards, including but not limited to, building height, setbacks, accesses, and required parking spaces. 4. Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3): The applicant shall meet the requirements for Multi-Family (UDC 11-4-3-27). See section V. D. Design Standards Analysis 1. Existing structure and Site Design Standards (Comp Plan 3.07.01A, UDC 11-3A-19): There are no existing structures on the site. The Comprehensive Plan require all new development to create a site design compatible with surrounding uses through buffering, screening, transitional densities, and other best site design practices. The proposed multi- family residential development provides an appropriate transition between the retail/commercial/employment uses to the north and west and the single-family residences to the south and west. There will be a twenty-five(25)foot buffers between this project and the City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis surrounding developments to the west and south. The sidewalk improvements to Ustick Road, Centrepoint Way and N. Cajun Lane provide much needed access improvements for the single-family residences to walk to the retail and commercial developments in the vicinity to the east. The buildings are set back over 100 feet from the boundaries with single family residential property,providing an even greater buffer between the proposed multi family use and the single-family residences. UDC requires the applicant to submit a Certificate of Zoning Compliance(CZC)and Design Review(DR) applications for review and approval prior to building submittal. 2. Qualified Open Space &Amenities (Comp Plan 2.02.00, Comp Plan 2.02.0IB, UDC 11-3G): Per UDC 11-3G-3, qualified open space is defined as active or passive open spaces. Any open space that is active or passive in its intended use,and accessible by all residents of the development, including,but not limited to: Open grassy area of at least five thousand(5,000) square feet in area; Community garden(s); natural waterways, open ditches, and laterals, protective buffers a minimum of ten(10) feet in width dedicated for active access along these natural open spaces count toward meeting the open space minimum requirements;plaza with a minimum dimension of twenty(20)feet in all directions and including hardscape, seating, lighting in conformance with the standards set forth in section 11-3A-I I and landscaping in conformance with the requirements set forth in Article 11-3B, Landscaping Requirements; or linear open space area that is at least twenty(20)feet and up to fifty(50)feet in width,has an access at each end, and is improved and landscaped as set forth in Article 11-3B, Landscaping Requirements. The proposed project will include 104,345 square feet of qualified open space which is 8,940 square feet less than required. The applicant is asking for alternative compliance for qualified open space requirement stating the site is irregular, has a unique targeted demographic of an affordable housing community, has significant indoor and outdoor passive and active amenities and excellent connectivity to public parks within walking distance. The project also includes an extensive network ofpedestrian oriented pathways including an outer loop around the entire project with internal connections to the various amenities for the project allowing for free movement ofpedestrians throughout the site. The Comprehensive Plan goal is for developments to plan for safe, attractive, and well- maintained neighborhoods that have ample open space, and generous amenities that provide varied lifestyle choices. The Comprehensive Plan's goal emphasizes the importance of safe, attractive, and well-maintained neighborhoods with ample open space and amenities. Reducing these elements, regardless of the parcel's shape or target demographic, contradicts the Plan's standards. Furthermore, the applicant is increasing the density of the site beyond what was previously approved, understanding they are also reducing open space.Adequate open space and amenities are fundamental to maintaining the vibrancy and functionality of a neighborhood. Adhering to the Comprehensive Plan ensures that developments contribute positively to the community and uphold the quality of life for its residents. It's important to recognize that proximity to parks and sports complexes doesn't fully address the need for accessible and usable open space within a neighborhood. Even though the project is less than a mile from Charles F. McDevitt Youth Sports Complex, Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park, and Champion Park, residents would still face the challenge of crossing major arterial roads to reach these amenities. Pedestrian and bicycle crossing of these major roadways adversely affect signal performance and signal timing, and is one of the stated reasons for mixed use area analysis to not include areas bisected by major roadways. This can be a significant barrier,particularly for families with young children, elderly residents, or those without convenient transportation options. City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis For the development to truly align with the Comprehensive Plan's goals, it should include sufficient open space and amenities within the project itself. This ensures that all residents have easy, safe access to recreational areas without the need to navigate busy roads, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life and community cohesion. 3. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B): i. Landscape buffers along streets The applicant is required to construct street buffers along Ustick Road, an arterial street, and along Centrepoint Way,a local street. In addition,per UDC 11-3B-8,at least 5 feet of landscaping is required along the perimeter of vehicle use areas(i.e. drive aisles) and landscaping is also required along the base of the multi-family building elevations facing any public street. The applicant is proposing a reduction of the 35'wide landscape buffer along Ustick Road—up to a 50%reduction (17.5), as allowed with the implementation of Water Conserving Design principles (UDC 11-3B-5.0). Staff has no objection to the applicant's request to provide a water conserving design for the street buffer along Ustick Road. ii. Parking lot landscaping Per UDC 11-313-8,the applicant shall provide perimeter and internal parking lot landscaping to soften and mitigate the visual and heat island effect of a large expanse of asphalt in parking lots,and to improve the safety and comfort of pedestrians.A five-foot wide minimum landscape buffer adjacent to parking,loading, or other paved vehicular use areas. The applicant is proposing Alternative Compliance under UDC 11-3B-7.C.1.c to remove the parking lot islands beneath the covered parking areas within the development. Instead, the applicant plans to install solar carports, which will serve as a green infrastructure amenity by providing an alternative power source for the development and its residents. The solar carports will also fulfill the requirement for covered parking and help reduce the heat impact of the surface parking lot. According to the applicant, the removal of parking islands under the solar carports will enhance solar panel efficiency by improving daylight capture and reducing maintenance tasks such as clearing leaf debris and replacing plants or trees. Additionally, the solar carports are expected to offset utility costs for residents. The applicant also notes that despite the removal of these islands, the overall landscape buffer percentage will not decrease, as the buffer areas along the east side of Centrepoint Way exceed the city's code requirements. All uncovered parking areas will continue to comply with the requirements for parking lot islands. iii. Landscape buffers to adjoining uses Per UDC 11-313-9,a landscape buffer is required in the C-N,C-C,C-G, L-O,M-E, H-E, and I-L districts on any parcel sharing a contiguous lot line with a residential land use. The landscape buffer is required in the I-H district on any property sharing a contiguous lot line with a nonindustrial use. The single-family residential neighborhood to the south is screened with a twenty-five (25)foot landscape buffer. The single-family residential neighborhood to the west is likewise screened with a twenty-five(25)foot landscape buffer and further will be screened by an eight(8)foot masonry wall. Staff finds the proposed landscape buffer adjacent to the residential neighborhoods meets the requirements of the UDC and requires a detail of the masonry wall to be submitted for review with the CZC application. City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis iv. Tree preservation N/A—There are no existing trees on the property. v. Storm integration Per UDC 11-3B-11,the applicant shall meet the intent to improve water quality and provide a natural, effective form of flood and water pollution control through the integration of vegetated,well designed stormwater filtration swales and other green stormwater facilities into required landscape areas,where topography and hydrologic features allow if part of the development. Development will be required to meet UDC 11-3B-11 for stormwater integration. vi. Pathway landscaping Landscaping for pathways shall meet the requirements outlined in UDC 11-3B-12. Staff finds the landscape plan shows the applicant meets the requirements of UDC 11-3B- 12 for pathway landscaping. 4. Parking (UDC 11-3C): Off-street parking for multi family developments is required to be provided per the table in UDC 11-3C-6 based on the number of bedrooms per unit. The Applicant is proposing 279 units consisting of 1391-bedroom units, 105 2-bedroom units and 35 3-bedroom units. In addition, one(1)guest space for every 10 units is required. i. Residential parking analysis Based on the total number of units proposed and their bedroom count distribution, a minimum of 552 parking spaces, with a minimum of 279 of these spaces to be covered in a garage or by a carport. In addition to meeting the minimum off-street parking amount, the current Development Agreement City Council was not comfortable with the parking area west of Centrepoint Way and expressed a desire for all buildings to be self-parked within their respective areas of the site. The previous applicant provided documentation showing the buildings to be self-parked within their respective areas of the site. Although the buildings within the proposed development are not self-parked within their respective areas of the site, as shown in the table below, the proposal meets the parking requirement as outlined in UDC 11-3C.

In addition, the applicant shall include any fencing proposed for the noted dog park and sports court area along the existing shared north-south private road N. Cajun Lane. E. Transportation Analysis The Ada County Highway District(ACHD)reviewed the submitted application and has determined they support the applicant's proposal to construct 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. However, the sidewalk should be parallel to the roadway,as meandering sidewalks are discouraged under ACHD policy. The detached sidewalk should be located a minimum of 41-feet from the centerline of Ustick Road abutting the site. ACHD also supports the applicant's proposal to widen/reconstruct Centrepoint Way meets District policy and should be approved as proposed with the exception of the 23-foot street section which requires the construction of a 33-foot street section south of the driveways to the site's south property line. The lane configuration and striping at the intersection with Ustick Road should be consistent with Centrepoint Way on the north side of Ustick Road across from the site. The applicant will be responsible for the design and construction of any modifications to the existing signal at the Centrepoint Way/Ustick Road intersection. The applicant should be required to dedicate right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk, or for detached sidewalk,the applicant can reduce the right-of-way to 2-feet behind back of curb and provide a permanent a permanent right-of-way easement that extends from the right-of-way line to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk.

Staff Analysis 40-FOOT STREET SECTION I I I —� BVGAINGR BV11pNGF ff� ffi 5iN W FEIXIISE� 1 I —Iv li A ` Ic yt �xJ L i4 Gf 33-FOOT STREET SECTION 1. Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4): Per UDC 11-3A-3, the intent of these standards is to improve safety by combining and/or limiting access points to collector and arterial streets and ensuring that motorists can safely enter all streets unless waived by City Council. Access for this development is from Centrepoint Way via Ustick Road and N. Cajun Lane via Ustic Road. Both the shared drive aisle and public street are existing. The shared drive aisle connects from N. Cajun Lane (a private street) to the south up to Ustick Road. This drive aisle was required with the previous Villasport approvals and the Wadsworth site on the hard corner for cross-access and interconnectivity to and from Ustick Road. In addition, the Bienville Square plat depicts cross-access over Cajun Lane and out to Eagle Road furthering the previous anticipation that some traffic would flow through this area. N. Centrepoint Way is an existing local street that connects the Bienville Square Subdivision (Jackson Square) and this site to Ustick Road via a public road and is signalized at the intersection of Ustick Road and Centrepoint Way. Ustick Road is improved with 5-travel lanes, vertical curb and gutter abutting the site. A five (5)foot wide detached concrete sidewalk exists abutting the site on the west side of Centrepoint Way and no sidewalk abutting the site on the east side of Centrepoint Way. There is eighty-six (86) to one hundred twenty-two (122)feet of right-of-way for Ustick Road fifty (50) to eighty(80)feet from centerline). City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis 2. Multiuse Pathways (UDC 11-3A-5): Multiuse pathways shall be constructed in accord with the city's comprehensive plan, the Meridian Pathways Master Plan, the Ada County Highway District Master Street Map and Roadways to Bikeways Master Plan. 3. Pathways (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-8): All pathways should be constructed in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-8. The Applicant is proposing to construct the missing segment of sidewalk along Ustick Road with a 5-foot wide detached sidewalk, consistent with the UDC requirements. Further, the Applicant is proposing to continue the existing sidewalk along the east side of the shared drive aisle and install a new sidewalk along its west side. The Applicant is proposing 5-foot wide micro paths throughout the development including within linear open space along the western and southern boundaries. 4. Sidewalks (UDC 11-3A-17): All sidewalks constructed as part of this proposal are required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-17. Detached sidewalks are existing along both sides ofN. Centrepoint Way and one segment of the attached sidewalk is located along Ustick Road, west of Centrepoint Way; the remaining Ustick Road frontage does not have any existing sidewalk. The applicant is proposing a 5- foot wide detached sidewalk along Ustick Road and the shared drive aisle and is also proposing 5-foot wide micro pathways throughout the development. As noted above, the Applicant is proposing to construct the missing segment of sidewalk along Ustick Road with a 5-foot wide detached sidewalk, consistent with code requirements. Further, the Applicant is proposing to continue the existing sidewalk along the east side of the shared drive aisle and install a new sidewalk along its west side. The Applicant is proposing 5-foot wide micro paths throughout the development including within linear open space along the south boundary. Staff supports the proposed sidewalk and micro path network. In addition, Staff finds that safer pedestrian crossings can be installed consistent with UDC 11-3A-19B across many internal drive aisles that connect internal sidewalks to the perimeter sidewalks. Specifically,per UDC 11-3A-19B.4, the crossings should be constructed with a different material than the driving surface(i.e. brick,pavers, colored or stamped concrete, etc) and be located at any crossing from the main drive aisle connections to Centrepoint or the shared drive aisle on the east side of the site. 5. Private Streets (UDC 11-3F-4): There is an existing private street, N. Cajun Lane, that abuts the east side of the property. Improvements to the private road are required as part of this development.
