PUBLIC FORUM — Future Meeting Topics Simison: Mr. Clerk, anyone signed up under Public Forum? Johnson: Mr. Mayor, nobody signed up. RESOLUTIONS [Action Item] 1. Resolution No. 25-2504: A Resolution Establishing the Appointment of Randy Rabin to Seat 5 of the Meridian Solid Waste Advisory Commission; and Providing an Effective Date Simison: Okay. Then with that we will move into Item 1, which is Resolution No. 25- 2504. Council, this is a resolution establishing the appointment of Randy Rabin to Seat 5 of the Meridian Solid Waste Advisory Commission. Randy has shown himself to be a dedicated individual who would like to serve this community. He has applied for a position before and came back again and first that shows dedication. He also has -- he has recently retired. He has got a -- well, retired -- I don't want to say recently recently, but pretty recently. But it's -- I think he is looking for a way to get involved in the community that he calls home and he has got a different background I think than a lot of people. He definitely had more of a technical background, but, you know, he is coming in just as what I would call a general user of the -- of our services, but he is knowledgeable of the changes we have made in large items. He participates in the glass bottle drop off as an -- as an individual. So, he is -- he is -- he is there to get involved and make sure that our residents are getting the best they can for the services for what Republic does for our community and the landfill. So, with that -- and he is here if you are -- if you have any desire to hear from him after you make a motion, I'm sure he would be happy to do that, but I wholeheartedly think that he will be a great addition to SWAC and with that happy to answer any questions. Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 3 of 19 Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Don't see anybody clamoring for any questions, so for a motion I move that we approve Resolution No. 25-2504 establishing the appointment -- appointment, excuse me, of -- of Randy Rabin to Seat 5 of the Meridian Solid Waste Advisory Commission. Strader: Second. Simison: Have a motion and a second to approve Item no. 1 . Is there a discussion on the motion? If not, all in favor -- in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it and the resolution is agreed to. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. Simison: Randy, do you have any comments or -- you would like to make? All right. He will waive his comments, but appreciate you being here and Laurelei is right there, you can introduce yourself to her, she is one of the faces of SWAC and our Public Works director, so thank you for being here. ACTION ITEMS 2. Public Hearing for Fiscal Year 2025 Public Works Fee Schedule Update Simison: And with that we will move on to tonight's Action Items. First item up is Item 2, public hearing for fiscal year 2025 of the Public Works fee schedule and turn this over to Director McVey. McVey: All right. Good evening, Mayor and Council. So, this is our public hearing following up on our presentation we gave a couple of weeks ago. This was noticed and we have not received any comments, but just as a quick update we started with 178 fees. We were able to cut 89 of those completely. We decreased 15 of them and there are 44 that are increasing, but those are all due to direct pass-through costs from the vendor or directly related to staffing cost increases on labor rates. So, anyways, these are just our normal pass-through and update every year, but the notable thing is the -- the large reduction in fees. So, with that if there is any questions. Simison: And, technically, I want make sure we open the public hearing on this item. So Dean will make that correction in that context. Any questions from Laurelei? All right. Thank you very much. Mr. Clerk, do we have anyone signed up to provide testimony this item? Johnson: Mr. Mayor, we did not. Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 4 of 19 Simison: Okay. Is there anybody present or online who would like to provide testimony on this item? If so if you can raise your hand or come forward at this time. Seeing no one coming forward and no one raised their hand online, Council, do I have a motion to close the public hearing? Taylor: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Taylor. Taylor: Move that we close the public hearing on Resolution 25-2505. Overton: Second. Simison: Have a motion and a second to close the public hearing on the Public Works fee schedule. This is -- and it's first and second. Is there any debate on the motion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it and the public hearing is closed. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. 3. Resolution 25-2505: Adopting new and increasing fees of the Public Works Department; authorizing deletion of certain fees from fee schedule; keeping unchanging fees; directing Finance Department to update Citywide Fee Schedule; superseding all previously adopted Public Works fees and fee schedules, with the exception of solid waste and recycling fees; authorizing Public Works and other City departments to collect such fees; and providing an effective date. Taylor: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Taylor. Taylor: I just want to commend Laurelei and her team for their hard work. I think at a time where over the last few years we have just seen the cost for so many things increase and grow, I think it's a welcome change to -- to try to eliminate some of the fees to minimize those that did need to increase to be focused on just providing the best services. So, I'm really grateful for the work. I think I just want to commend all the people there and, Laurelei, I hope you will take that back to your team as well and let them know how much we appreciate that, because it's really rare that we find ourselves in a situation where we are looking at some proposal like this where we are eliminating and cutting where we can, even though acknowledging that, you know, there are some places where we do have to increase the fees, but they were minimal in the impact. So, just wanted to make that note. Then I will make a motion when the time comes, unless other Council Members want to weigh in. Simison: I think that time is now. Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 5 of 19 Taylor: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Taylor. Taylor: Move that we approve Resolution 25-2505. Overton: Second. Simison: I have a motion and a second to approve Resolution 25-2505. Is there a discussion on the motion? If not on favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it and the resolution is agreed to. Thank you very much. Appreciate you being here tonight. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. 4. Public Hearing for Ordinance 25-2075, Updates to Title 2, Meridian City Code, Regarding Commissions and Committees Simison: With that we will move on to Item 4, which is a public hearing for Ordinance No. 25-2075, updates to Title 2, Meridian City Code. Open this public hearing with any comments from staff. Mr. Nary. Oh, is -- Nary: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. What we have on here is for -- this is the first reading of the ordinance for the commissions and so this was an opportunity for the public to weigh in. Again, we did this presentation previously to you, so we also have it on for first reading tonight and we can move it forward at your -- at your discretion for a second and third reading as combined or separated, whatever you prefer. But tonight was just for the public's opportunity to weigh it. Simison: All right. Thank you. Council, any questions for staff? Okay. With that, Mr. Clerk, do we have anyone signed up to provide testimony on this item? Johnson: Mr. Mayor, we did not. Simison: Okay. Is there anybody present who would like to provide testimony on this item, either in the room or online? Seeing no one coming forward. Council, is your desire to continue this public hearing tonight to next week? Is that -- Councilman Cavener. Cavener: That is how we have traditionally done it is just to keep the public hearing open in case we don't want to limit anybody's ability if they do have some input or some insight to share on this particular issue, we want to keep the door open for them through our -- likely combined second and third reading at a future date, so Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 6 of 19 Cavener: I will move that we continue this agenda item, Ordinance 25-2075, a public hearing for that, to next Tuesday, which would be I believe March the 11th. Strader: Second. Simison: Have a motion and a second to continue this item to March 11th. Is there any discussion? If not all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it and the public hearing is continued. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. 5. Public Hearing for Meridian Foodbank (H-2024-0065) by Meridian Food Bank, located at 133 W. Broadway Ave. A. Request: Rezone of 1.72 acres of land from the I-L zoning district to the O-T zoning district to bring the existing food bank into conformance for future expansions. Simison: Up next is Item 5, which is a public hearing for Meridian Food Bank, H-2024- 0065. We will open this public hearing with staff comments. Napoli: Good evening, Mr. Mayor and Members of the Council. Next item on the agenda is the rezone for the Meridian Food Bank. The applicant is requesting a rezone of 1.72 acres of land from the Light Industrial Zoning District to the Old Town Zoning District to bring the existing Food Bank into conformance for future expansions. The site is located at 616 Northwest 2nd Street and that's here on the screen. The current zoning is Light Industrial and the FLUM designation is Old Town. The subject site is among several industrial properties along the rail corridor near Meridian Road. The proposed use of a social service or food bank is a permitted use in the Old Town Zoning District, which is the zoning the applicant is requesting. The current use is non- conforming in the I-L Zoning District, which requires a conditional use permit for any proposed expansions. The rezone to Old Town will allow the continued use of the existing Food Bank, remove the nonconforming status and eliminate the need for future conditional use permit approvals to expand the use. The Meridian Food Bank is open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday between 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. and the main reason for the rezone request is to allow for future expansions to provide additional space for the Meridian Food Bank to assemble food packs for students in West Ada School District. The food packs allow students to have food over the weekends and the number of packs has increased significantly since 2023 and the Meridian Food Bank no longer has sufficient room to service all the children in need of resources. The expansion will include approximately 940 square feet of space designated for the purpose of assembling and storage of these food packs. UDC 11-3-132 allows for phased landscape improvements as cumulative expansions occur and the city will monitor the -- monitor these thresholds and enforce them as required by the UDC with these expansions as they occur in the future and this is just a rough schematic of their proposed expansion. The staff is -- staff and the Commission are recommending Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 7 of 19 approval without the requirement for a development agreement and have not received any written testimony at this time and I will stand for questions. Simison: Thank you, Nick. Council, any questions for staff? Okay. Would the applicant like to come forward. Good evening. State your name and address for the record. Green: My name is Gil Green and my address is 2512 East Garber Drive, Meridian, Idaho. Okay. Always when I get up I have to tell people a little bit about the Food Bank to start out with. We are a hundred percent nonprofit -- or a hundred percent volunteer nonprofit. I am currently chairman of the board. But we have a food pantry. The last couple of months we have serviced over 2,000 visitors each month and the other thing we do is we provide weekend meals for food insecure students of the Meridian -- excuse me -- West Ada School District. About two years ago our director of the food of the backpack program told us that the room they were in, the maximum amount that we could stage for and assemble a week was 800. Last month they -- the amounts were 878, 948 -- or 960 and 922. That's the wings. This month we are at 933 and because of the snow day it dropped down to 228 and, then, jumped back up 912 and 914. So, we started looking for a place to expand and we have a -- what used to be the old parsonage, which has been converted to storage for those backpacks and, then, we have the main warehouse where there is one room in there dedicated to staging and assembling the packs, so they can be delivered to the schools. We looked around and we said, well, gosh, if we build a wall here and a wall here and just combine the two buildings we have already got two walls built and so we started to go forward, called Planning and Zoning, they said, well, you're in non-compliance with your zoning now, so it would be best if you changed. So, that's what we are doing. Simison: All right. Thank you. Council, any questions? All right. Appreciate it. Green: Thank you. Simison: Mr. Clerk, do we have anyone signed up on this item? Johnson: Mr. Mayor, we did not. Simison: Okay. Is there anybody present who would like to provide testimony on this item, either in the room or online? Seeing no one coming forward, would you like to make any final comments or are you good on your comments? Okay. Applicant waives. Council, discussion? Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: This feels like a pretty straightforward decision and I think we all just want to celebrate the Meridian Food Bank and all that they are bringing to our community to Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 8 of 19 help people that are truly in need. Just express how appreciative we are. I'm happy to move that we close the public hearing on this item. Cavener: Second. Simison: Have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. Is there any discussion? Taylor: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Taylor. Taylor: I just want to make a note and I really appreciate the opportunity to engage here. A couple years ago at my church we had an opportunity to start putting -- gathering items for the backpack for kids. What I was surprised at the time when we were learning about it was how many kids in West Ada, you know, are homeless actually and how many kids do really -- not sure what they are going to eat and it was such a simple way to fix it. We are talking granola bars, Ramen noodles, like, you know, juice. It -- it's not much. It's not much and so, you know, we have helped contribute by bringing fairly simple things. My kids have participated in putting some of that. We are talking about putting in a little grocery sack some items and tie it up and it's not fancy, but it means a lot. And so I think this is a wonderful service. So, I really appreciate the Food Bank for -- for doing this, focusing on the kids that -- that really need that help. So, I'm excited about this. Simison: Thank you. Further comments on the motion? Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Favor both this motion and the likely motion to follow and I think it's -- the fact that nobody is here is actually a testament to the Food Bank. I remember sitting in the audience when -- I remember attending the ribbon cutting when they opened their facility in Old Town and there was certainly lots of concern from our community about what type of a neighbor the Meridian Food Bank will be and I will say the Meridian Food Bank has been the best type of neighbor for our community and the fact that you have got this facility that operates across the street from residential in the heart of Old Town and there is not people that are concerned or upset, it's because volunteers at the Food Bank and -- and -- and Gil touched on this, nobody works there draws a salary. So, if you -- if you give a dollar to the Meridian Food Bank that dollar goes to food and I just think it's a -- it's a great success story for our community that's being led by the Meridian Food Bank and so I'm -- I'm happy to support the motion to close the public hearing and be happy to support a likely motion that will follow. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 9 of 19 Simison: Okay. Any other comments on the motion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it and the public hearing is closed. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: I'm sure there could be more discussion. People could chime in. I think it will all be favorable. Spoiler alert. After considering all staff, applicant and public testimony, I move to approve File No. H-2024-0065 as presented in the staff report for today's hearing date. Strader: Second. Simison: Have a motion and a second to approve Item 5. Is there discussion on the motion? If not, clerk call the roll. Roll Call: Cavener, yea; Strader, yea; Overton, yea; Little Roberts, yea; Taylor, yea; Whitlock, yea. Simison: All ayes. Motion carries and the item is agreed to. Congratulations. Appreciate what you do and look forward to seeing continue to serve this community with your hearts. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. 6. Public Hearing for Newkirk East (H-2024-0043) by Laren Bailey, Conger Group, located at in the SE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 10, Township 3N, Range 1W, parcel: S1210346850 A. Request: Preliminary Plat for 95 single family lots on 10.08 acres of land zoned Traditional Neighborhood Residential (TN-R). B. Request: Development Agreement Modification to revise the concept plan to remove the 216 multi-family units and replace with 95 single-family attached homes. Simison: Okay. With that we will move on to Item 6, which is a public hearing for Newkirk East, H-2024-0043. We will open this public hearing with staff comments. Ritter: Good evening, Mayor and Council Members. So, tonight we are here for a request for a preliminary plat and development agreement modification to convert 216 apartments into 95 single family attached homes on ten acres of land that is currently zoned traditional residential neighborhood. I mean neighborhood residential. The Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 10 of 19 Newkirk Subdivision was approved by City Council on April 25th in 2023. It involved the annexation of 22.667 acres with the TN-R zoning. The original plan included 63 building lots, 44 single family attached homes, 18 townhomes and one multi-family development with 216 units and eight common lots on 20.44 acres to be developed in two phases. So, the single family residence -- residential in phase one and the multi-family in phase two. The applicant now proposes removing the multi-family component, replacing it with a mix of single family attached homes, with front-loaded garages and alley loaded townhomes. This modification reduces the gross density from 13.2 to 7.3 dwelling units per acre for the overall development, meeting the TN-R district minimum net density of six units per acre, but still fall -- but falling below the Ten Mile Interchange Plan target gross density of 12 acres per -- 12 units per acre. Additionally, we have the Kennedy Lateral, a gap area owned by the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District, which was overlooked during the prior approvals. This unincorporated area between parcels will need to be annexed by the city to resolve this issue. And, again, we did an analysis of all the development around this to show that none of the developments really hit that 12 units per acre that we are aspiring to, but they -- so, this development is really not out of alignment with what's in the area. So, the -- the proposed plat, again, is -- everything -- the site development must comply with the dimensional standards of the UDC. While there is no minimum lot size for the TN-R district, each building site must be -- be sufficient size to meet the district's minimum setback requirements and the development must include two minimum housing types. Although street access properties are permitted within the district, they are generally expected to be located along the perimeter of the TN-R development. That applicant must demonstrate that the proposed development aligns with the proposed statement or the TN-R district. The applicant shall provide justification for limited number of alley loaded homes included in the proposal in the form of a waiver. The regulating authority will determine whether the applicant has met the intent of the TN-R district street design requirements or require revision to the plat. So, staff feels that they meet -- there are some townhome areas, they are not alley loaded, but where they are located it's sufficient to meet the intent of the TN-R district. This is their open space requirement. So, they are not providing any -- they are providing one additional amenity on this site, but this site will be combined with the original development, which has 35 percent open space, which is over the 15 percent that was required. So, they exceeded their open space requirement. So, staff has no issues with their open space requirements. These are some of the amenities. This is what's newly been added. There is plenty of pedestrian circulation added to this development and the existing development. Again when we were talking about the townhomes, these are the townhomes. They had to revise their site plan, because it showed two street frontages, so they added landscaping along this side, so that there are not two street frontages. These are the building designs, which were previously approved with phase one, so they brought back in those same designs and City Council made some exceptions to the design standards within the Ten Mile Area Plan. So, this will still have to go through the design review requirements. As far as block lengths, they meet the requirements for the block length. In the beginning they had a few that were over, but they modified their plan to meet that. The only one that can't meet is this one because of the terrain. It's along North Medford Way. It exceeds the 500 foot. They are requesting an exception because of the terrain difference there. Again, this is Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 11 of 19 the noncontiguous property that we were talking about. It cannot be part of this application, because it is bisected by the property that belongs to Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District, but the Commission wanted a condition added to this that -- deed restriction for this noncontiguous parcel stating that it is unbuildable. It will either be transferred to the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District, the HOA, or the owner retains the property. Written document should be provided prior to the city engineer's signature on the final plat. These are the modifications to the development agreement. We are striking everything that dealt with the multi-family and we are just putting that a maximum of 95 single family units shall be constructed within Newkirk East Subdivision. And, then, the area of the northeast corner of the development of the Kennedy Lateral shall be maintenance -- be owned and maintained by the property owner or the homeowners association, as well as the condition that is required -- that the Commission required and we did remove condition number three, because the applicant corrected that and we are also asking to remove condition number four, because the applicant corrected that and with that at this time I will stand for any questions that you may have. Simison: Thank you, Linda. Council, any questions for staff? Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Could you just refresh me as to which conditions you wanted to remove now specifically? Sorry. I was just taking notes and didn't quite catch that. Third -- condition 3, but they are -- in the summary document we have they are actually lettered. I could look -- I have the application on my computer as well, but -- Ritter: Sorry. Strader: Thanks. Ritter: So, condition number three dealt with Block 3 to -- sorry. Pull this down real quick. So, condition number three was at a pedestrian facility along North Medford Way. We understand that that cannot happen because of the terrain difference there, so the Commission recommended removing that one and so condition number four that a pedestrian facility along Block 3 in the vicinity of Lots 20 through 23 to connect to the common lot, this is so that we could bring the block face length into compliance, but they already did that. They made that correction, so we won't need that. Strader: Got it. So, Mr. Mayor, if you don't mind. Simison: Council Woman Strader. Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 12 of 19 Strader: So, it's really removing condition three the requirement to add a pedestrian facility and, then, in addition condition four, the block face length, because of the terrain and I saw along the canal it looked -- that would be challenging. Ritter: That would be -- number three was that one and, then, number four pedestrian facility because of the block face. Strader: Got it. I had them swapped. Thank you so much. Ritter: You are welcome. Taylor: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Taylor. Taylor: Linda, could you just speak again -- I -- I think I heard you say when Council originally approved this that they waived some of the design standards for some of the townhomes. Did I hear that correctly? Ritter: Yes. When the original building elevations design elements were approved some of the design standards -- so, Council approved exceptions to the required Ten Mile Plan standards with the original plat. Taylor: Thank you. Simison: Council, any additional questions for staff? Then I will invite the applicant to come forward. Clark: Hi, everybody. Hethe Clark. 251 East Front Street in Boise, representing the applicant, and I am thinking that we are probably pretty close in terms of being on the same page here, so I will try to abbreviate my -- my presentation and kind of hit maybe a couple of the highlights and give you a little context for things. Were you guys able to get that presentation loaded up? Okay. While they are talk -- while they are looking at that, I think one thing I would just clarify on -- for Council Member Taylor on design standards from before, the question that came up during the -- the prior hearing was more of a question of Comprehensive Plan and Ten Mile Plan requirements. One of the things we talked about was that the Ten Mile Plan required porches and these kind of design requirements that were difficult to satisfy and still hit the density standards that -- that Linda talked about before and so when we -- when we built -- or when we came forward with the project -- and I will show you a picture of it, we devoted one block to alley loaded product and, then, we had this ring of single family attached that was not alley loaded and, ultimately, the Council concluded that that satisfied the intent of the -- of the Comprehensive Plan, but it was not a design standard waiver or anything more formal than that. So, again, this -- you guys are familiar with the area. It's very much under development as a status report and Linda's pictures kind of showed this, phase one of the project is currently under construction. So, what we are talking about right Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 13 of 19 now is phase two. It's a triangular site. It's kind of a tough one to design against because of that. We have existing projects on three sides. We got the lateral on the north and the railroad as well. We have terrain that drops off north to south and west to east and so that is part of this topography issue that Linda mentioned with regard to being able to connect in a pedestrian connection into the collector. That collector's location was predetermined. It's on the south side of the project and, then, we also have east and west entries that go through existing apartment projects or projects that are under development. So, this is where we kind of wanted to show you where that collector is, so it kind of runs the entirety of the south of the project and that is completed. So, back, again, when we did phase one we had a phase one with the -- with the single family in it and this is the block that had the alley load. We had a phase two with multi-family, but what we have determined since then is that multi-family is going to be very difficult on this project and the reason for that is largely due to visibility. It's set behind. It's behind two -- these other apartment projects and it's not big enough to -- you know, when you have those disadvantages you have got to over amenitize and it's just not a big enough site to be able to put the number of units in that you would be able to do that. So, worked with staff, came up with an alternative. It remains TN-R, but we are replacing the 216 apartment units with 95 single family residential and we did include the rear loaded townhomes you can kind of see right here and those match the alley loads that were in phase one. Because the projects are going to be combined now we can take the -- the Newkirk phase one amenities that you can see on the screen and we can combine them with phase two. So, the overall -- the total amenity points that are required are four, we are at 14 and a half, so we are happy about that. Total open space 24 percent. Again 15 percent being the minimum requirement. And, then, just to kind of bring you up to -- up to date, the staff report gave us these four homework items. Those first two were really to give them some updated exhibits to kind of show how that rear loaded lot -- how those rear loaded lots would work and, then, we had some conversation about block length. So, this is the block that has the topography and condition that was removed by Planning and Zoning required -- spoke to a pedestrian connection. Now, that collector street is already in. There is already a four foot retaining wall that's in, but to kind of speak more to that topography difference, you will have eight to ten feet of difference between those pads down to the collector. So, a pedestrian connection just really isn't feasible there. So, that's why Planning and Zoning agreed with us to remove that one. And, then, this was the other question and we -- we had a block length that was 508 feet. As you guys know in most of the zone 750 is the standard. In the TN-R zone it's 500. We were over it by eight, so we went ahead and revised that and that took away the need for that pedestrian connection on Wolfsburg. So, we are -- we are in agreement the -- so, that, hopefully, this helps Council Members Strader for the -- kind of keeping things straight. So, A-3 already went away with the P&Z recommendation. A-4 would be an additional deletion. The DA language -- I had suggested this -- the second phase of this development language to try to clarify that the single family units are not capped at 95 for everything. Staff had suggested Newport -- Newport -- Newkirk East rather than referring to phase two and we are totally fine with that. So, with that happy to answer any questions and hopefully wrap this one up. Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 14 of 19 Simison: Thank you, Hethe. Council, any questions for the applicant? Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: More just for my own curiosity, I was just wondering -- I understand your -- your points about the -- the visibility in terms of the location for multi-family. Is there anything you are seeing in the market just -- just purely intellectual curiosity, doesn't have to do with this application necessarily. But do you feel like the market's becoming kind of over saturated with multi-family? Are you feeling a little bit of friction because of the interest rate environment, seeing stress around financing or do you feel like it's really -- this is just purely a visibility thing and you are not seeing any change in the multi-family commercial real estate market here locally? Clark: Yeah. I think Council Member Strader, I would say on -- on this site in particular -- so micro to macro -- Strader: Uh-huh. Clark: -- this site in particular is really the visibility. I don't know that the interest rate environment or the saturation would necessarily make a difference. There is more market -- the market. What I'm hearing anecdotally is that we are starting to burn through the multi-family supply and folks are watching interest rates really closely to decide whether they are going to jump back in. That's not from this client or this applicant or any -- that's kind of what I'm seeing generally in talking to folks in the market. But, you know, who knows. Right now I think a lot of things are in the air, so we will have to see. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Yeah. This is just interesting. I mean at least in terms of what we ourselves see, you know, we do internal dashboards from our community development group and certainly the permitting activity for multi-family has fallen significantly compared to even one or two years ago. So, I sort of feel like maybe we are just on that side of the real estate cycle with multi-family and kind of chewing through some inventory while it comes online, but I was just curious what your thoughts were. Clark: Yeah. I think interest rates will make a big difference, too. Strader: Sure. Clark: That's what I would really watch. Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 15 of 19 Strader: Thank you. Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Mr. Clark, thanks for being here. This noncontiguous parcel -- Clark: Uh-huh. Cavener: -- I guess I'm -- I'm still struggling, what's -- what's the status on it? Who is going to own it? Who is going to maintain it? Clark: Yeah. Thanks. Cavener: I -- I -- my assumption is if it goes to the irrigation district, then, the lateral road would provide the access that they need, but, if not, I guess that would, then, create some sort of a challenge in terms of being able to maintain that property. Clark: Yeah. Council Member Cavener -- and, I apologize, I meant to -- to bring that up. So, that -- the triangle parcel was not neglected in the first application. We -- we -- we talked about it. It was -- it was part of the conversation at the time. This application doesn't include it as a lot, because it's in -- within the ultimate -- what will ultimately be a final plat, because it's separated -- we don't have ownership of the Nampa-Meridian strip, there -- it's not going to be conveyed to anybody. That parcel already exists. That's the purpose of a plat is to create parcels for purposes of conveyance, so -- and, you know, that's due to some of the -- the interpretations we have seen at Ada county, you know, they -- they don't like seeing those kind of breaks and so we left it out for that reason, because it's just not necessary. We have chatted with staff about this and confirmed that it will be either owned by Nampa-Meridian or by our homeowners association. More likely the homeowners association. And we have chatted with Nampa-Meridian, they have no issue with allowing us access across for maintenance. It's -- it will be taken care of. It will be a CC&R obligation. Cavener: Okay. Great. Thanks. Appreciate that. Clark: Yep. Simison: Council, additional questions for the applicant? All right. Thank you very much. Clark: Thanks, everybody. Simison: Mr. Clerk, do we have anyone signed up on this item? Johnson: Mr. Mayor, there were no advanced sign ups. Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 16 of 19 Simison: Okay. Is there anybody present who would like to provide testimony on this item, either in the room or online? Seeing no one coming forward and no one raising their hand online, does the applicant waive final comments? Applicant waives final comments. Council, what's your pleasure? Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Happy to get the ball rolling here. I move that we close the public hearing on H-2024-0043. Overton: Second. Simison: Have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. Is there any discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it and the public hearing is closed. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: A couple of things I -- I like about this project and I just wanted to express first of all my appreciation to city staff for the in-depth analysis of density and comparable projects within the Ten Mile Specific Area. I thought that was extremely helpful and that helped I think give us the -- the right foundation I think, so we didn't get sidetracked. So, I really appreciate that. This is a -- and this is a challenging site in terms of the topography, so I think that was a justification for the block face length on Medford and, then, in addition to that, you know, I -- it feels like a nice product in terms of actually having attached townhomes I think in this location. Feels like the right kind of middle ground and it provides something that I think a lot of people need in terms of starting out. So, I think that makes sense. So, with that I'm happy to make a motion. After considering all staff, applicants and public testimony, I move to approve File No. H- 2024-0043 as presented in the staff report for today's hearing date with the following modifications, noting specifically that the Newkirk East development will have a maximum of 95 single family units. So, clarifying that that applies to phase two. In addition to that, noting that the North Medford Way may exceed the maximum block length and, then, finally, also noting that the property owner or owners association will maintain the northeast corner north of the Kennedy Lateral and that they will own and maintain that -- well, that they will maintain that property. And, then, with that also reflecting I think the conditions that have been removed. So, Condition 3, the block length, which I already touched on, but, then, also condition for the pedestrian facility has also been removed. I think I got it all, but -- Meridian City Council March 4,2025 Page 17 of 19 Simison: Have a motion. Second? Cavener: I think we had a better second down that way I thought. Overton: Second. Simison: Okay. I have a motion and a second. Is there discussion on the motion? Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Real quick want to commend the applicant on this. Council, I'm -- I'm on Franklin by this development at least three times a week and, one, in terms of recognizing the -- the nature of multi-family in this area, we also have a lot of multi- family in this area. I think addition of some ownership opportunity is -- is a -- a more prudent decision. So, I want to commend the applicant for their creativity around that. Overton: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Overton. Overton: I remember when this came through the first time and it was a kudos at that time that they took -- not just the topography of this lot, but the odd shape of this lot and what they were able to do with it the first time. Yeah. You know me. I like this move. I like the single family houses. I like the fewer units. I think it's a far better fit. I think, once again, you have done a fantastic job with a tough piece of ground to fit all this in. Simison: Additional comments? If not, clerk call the roll. Roll Call: Cavener, yea; Strader, yea; Overton, yea; Little Roberts, yea; Taylor, yea; Whitlock, yea. Simison: All ayes. Motion carries and the item is agreed to. Thank you very much. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. ORDINANCES [Action Item] 7.

ORDINANCE UPDATING TITLE 2,MERIDIAN CITY CODE,REGARDING COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES PAGE 21 C� E IDIAN Planning and Zoning Department Presentation and Outline Changes to Agenda: None ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Item #5: Meridian Food Bank (H-2024-0065) Application(s):  Rezone Size of property, existing zoning, and location: This site consists of 1.72 acres of land, zoned I-L, located at 133 W. Broadway Avenue. History: The Food Bank has been working actively at this site since 1999. Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation: Old Town Summary of Request: Rezone of 1.72 acres of land from the I-L zoning district to the O-T zoning district to bring the an existing food bank into conformance for future expansions. The subject site is among several Industrial properties along the rail corridor near Meridian Road. The proposed use of a social service (Food Bank) is a permitted use in the O-T zoning which is the zoning the applicant is requesting. The current use is non-conforming, which requires a conditional use permit for any proposed expansion. The rezone to O-T zone will allow the continued use of the existing food bank, remove the non-conforming status and eliminate the need for future CUP approvals to expand the use. The Meridian Food Bank is open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday between 12:00 pm and 4:00 pm. The main reason for the rezoning request is to allow for future expansion to provide additional space for the MFB to assemble food packs for students in West Ada School District. The food packs allow students to have food over the weekends. The number of packs has increased significantly since 2023 and MFB no longer has sufficient room to service all the children in need of resources. The expansion will include an additional 940 square feet of space designated for the purpose of assembly and storage of these food packs. Staff finds this use to be better suited in the O-T zone as it will bring the existing use and structure into conformance with our code while also allowing for expansion of the facility. UDC 11-3B-2 allows for phased landscape improvements as cumulative expansions occur. The city will monitor these thresholds and enforce them as required by the UDC (see below). 1.For additions less than twenty-five (25) percent of the existing structure or developed area, no additional landscaping shall be required except for buffers to adjacent residential uses. 2.For additions that are twenty-five (25) percent to fifty (50) percent of the existing structure or developed area, perimeter and right-of- way landscaping as required by this Article shall be installed. 3.For additions greater than fifty (50) percent of the existing structure or developed area, all current landscape standards of this Article shall be met. Staff Recommendation: Approval without the requirement for a DA. Improvements will be triggered as applicable with the standards in UDC 11-3B-2. Commission Recommendation: Approval Summary of Commission Public Hearing: i. In favor: Gil Green ii. In opposition: N/A iii. Commenting: Gil Green iv. Written testimony: None v.

Item #6: Newkirk East MDA, PP (H-2024-0043) Application(s):  Development Agreement Modification  Preliminary Plat Size of property, existing zoning, and location: This site consists of 10.08 acres of land, zoned TN-R, located at 4250 W. Franklin Road. History: H-2022-0088 (AZ, PP); DA Inst. No. 2023-051358, PBA Inst # 2023-047023 and A-2023-0135. Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation: Medium High Density Summary of Request: A Preliminary Plat and Development Agreement Modification to convert 216 apartments into 95 single-family attached homes on 10.08 acres of land zoned Traditional Neighborhood Residential (TN-R). The Newkirk Subdivision, approved by City Council on April 25, 2023, involved the annexation of 22.667 acres with TN-R zoning. The original plan included 63 building lots (44 single-family attached homes, 18 townhomes, and one multi-family development with 216 units) and eight common lots on 20.44 acres, to be developed in two phases: single-family residential in Phase 1 and multi-family in Phase 2. The applicant now proposes removing the multi-family component and replacing it with a mix of single-family attached homes with front-loaded garages and alley-loaded townhouses. This modification reduces the gross density from 13.2 to 7.33 dwelling units per acre, meeting the TN-R district minimum net density of 6 units per acre but falling below the Ten Mile Interchange Plan's target gross density of 12 units per acre. Phase 2 (Newkirk East) is now shown as a separate parcel, though the original plat treated the subdivision as one parcel. It appears the property was subdivided without City approval, as the final plat for Phase 1 is not yet recorded with the Ada County Assessor’s office. Phase 1 final plat has been signed by the City Engineer and submitted to Ada County for final review and recording, recording is eminent. Additionally, the annexation of the Kennedy Lateral, a gap area owned by the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, was overlooked during prior approvals. This unincorporated area between parcels will need to be annexed by the City to resolve the issue. Issues/Waivers:  Kenndey Lateral Property Annexation: o The Kennedy Lateral crosses the applicant’s plat and should have been included in the previous annexation for this project. However, the parcel containing the Kennedy Lateral is owned by the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, as verified by deed and legal determination, and was not part of this project. Due to timing constraints, staff proceeded with the current plat.  Noncontagious Parcel: o Parcel # S1210346890 is not contiguous to the plat, as it is bisected by the Kennedy Lateral parcel, which is owned by the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, as shown in Exhibit VII.J. Since this parcel is neither contiguous nor included in the proposed plat, staff requires the applicant to demonstrate how access to Parcel # S1210346890 will be provided to ensure maintenance, as required by the original approval. City staff is coordinating with the Ada County Assessor’s office to determine if this outparcel can be incorporated as part of the plat. Based on the conversation with Ada County, the parcel cannot be part of the plat because the parcel with the Kennedy lateral has not been annexed into the City.  Density Compliance: o The proposed development has a density of 9.42 units/acre, which is below the targeted density of 12 units/acre per the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area. The project was previously approved with 13.2 units/acre. However, the proposed density does meet the net density standards of 6 dwelling units per acre in the TN-R zoning district.  Block Length Exceedance (see analysis below) o The block length along N. Midford Way exceed the maximum 500-foot length. The applicant is requesting an exception for the block length exceedance from City Council. Site Development: The proposed plat and subsequent development must comply with the dimensional standards outlined in UDC Table 11-2D-6 for the TN-R zoning district. While there is no minimum lot size in the TN-R district, each building site must be of sufficient size to meet the district’s minimum setback requirements. The development includes the required minimum of two (2) housing types. Although street-accessed properties are permitted within this district, they are generally expected to be located along the perimeter of a TN-R development. The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed design aligns with the purpose statement of the TN-R district. Additionally, the applicant shall provide justification for the limited number of alley-loaded homes included in the proposal in the form of a waiver. The regulating authority will determine whether the applicant has met the intent of the TN-R district’s street design requirements or require a revision of the plat to achieve compliance. Design Elements: The applicant has based the proposed building designs on those that were previously approved with the design review for Newkirk Subdivision. The conceptual designs shown are consistent with recorded DA (2023-051358) as Council approved exceptions to the required TMIASP standards with the original plat H-2022-0088. Building Elevations: Conceptual building elevations were submitted for the proposed structures within the development as shown in Section VII.J. Two (2) elevations were submitted for the 2-story attached units and for the 2-story townhome units attached in units of three (3); building materials consist of a mix of board & batten siding, soffit board siding, cottage lap siding and shake siding. These plans were previously approved through design review for Phase 1. Design Review: A design review application is required to be submitted for all single-family attached and townhouse structures within the development. Final design of all structures should comply with the standards for traditional neighborhood design listed in the Architectural Standards Manual (ASM) and the recorded DA. Qualified Open Space: A minimum of 15% qualified open space is required to be provided within the single-family and townhome portion of the development per Table 11-3G-3 for the TN-R zoning district. Based on 10.08 acres of land, a minimum of 1.5 acres is required to be provided that complies with the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3B. A minimum of two (2) points of site amenities are required based on the area of the single-family/townhome development. Qualified amenities should include features listed in UDC Table 11-3G-4. A dog park (2 points) with a seating area and waste station (.5 points) is proposed which meets the minimum standard. Overall, the proposed amenities exceed the minimum standards. Per the applicant, the amenities in the original Newkirk Subdivision will be available for use by the residents within the Newkirk East Subdivision. The previously approved preliminary plat provided 3.55 acres (34.4%) open space for Phase 1 as the multi-family for Phase 2 had separate requirements for open space. However, when multi-family is approved concurrently with single-family, the minimum open space requirements in UDC 11-3G-3 shall apply to the gross land area of the entire development. Therefore, the development exceeded the required 15% open space. Block Face Length: The block length along N. Midford Way exceed the maximum 500-foot length. The applicant is requesting an exception for the block length exceedance from City Council. Alley: The applicant’s narrative states that there are five (5) single-family attached three-plex, two-story alley-loaded garage homes. However, the preliminary plat did not depict an alley to accommodate these alley-loaded garages. The applicant submitted a response to staff’s requirements and showed a document clearly indicating the location of these homes. Additionally, all alleys must comply with the requirements set forth in the Unified Development Code (UDC). Noncontagious Parcel: Parcel # S1210346890 is not contiguous to the plat, as it is bisected by the Kennedy Lateral parcel, which is owned by the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, as shown in Exhibit VII.J. Since this parcel is neither contiguous nor included in the proposed plat, staff requires the applicant to demonstrate how access to Parcel # S1210346890 will be provided to ensure maintenance, as required by the original approval. City staff are coordinating with the Ada County Assessor’s office to determine if this outparcel can be incorporated as part of the plat. Double Lot Frontage: Lots 2-8 front both N. Ascent Avenue and N. Zimmerman Way. The applicant provided a revised document showing the removal of the double street frontage which is prohibited per UDC 11-6C-3. The applicant provided a ten (10) foot landscape buffer along the west side of the lots to eliminate the double frontage and access to the parcels will be from N. Ascent Avenue. Waterways: The Kennedy Lateral bisects the northeast corner of this site within a parcel of land owned by the irrigation district. This parcel bisects the subject property into two (2) parcels. A 6-foot-tall closed vision vinyl fence is proposed adjacent to the lateral; UDC 11-3A-6C.3 requires an open vision fence at least 6-feet in height and having an 11-gauge, 2-inch mesh or other construction, equivalent in ability to deter access to the lateral. Staff recommends a 6-foot-tall wrought iron fence is provided in this area to deter access to the lateral. Development Agreement Modification: The Applicant is requesting the following modifications to the existing Development Agreement: e. A bicycle rack should be provided for each of the multi-family buildings and the clubhouse in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-5C. A minimum of 18 spaces are required. f. A minimum of 442 off-street parking spaces shall be provided for the multi-family development with a minimum of 221 of those spaces in a covered carport or garage as proposed, in accord with UDC Table 11-3C-6. g. A maximum of 95 216 multi-single-family units shall be constructed within Newkirk East Subdivision. h. A Certificate of Zoning Compliance application shall be submitted for the multi-family portion of the development; compliance with the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-27 is required. Staff would request the Council remove Condition #4 as the applicant has revised the plans to meet the required Block Length.

General Overview This property is designated as O-T(Old Town)on the Future Land Use Map(FLUM)however the existing zoning is I-L(Light Industrial). The existing use of Social Service is consistent with ui. the comprehensive plan for the Old Town designation. This designation includes the historic downtown and the true community center. The boundary of the Old Town district predominantly follows Meridian's historic plat boundaries. In several areas, both sides of a street were incorporated into the boundary to encourage similar uses and complimentary design of the facing houses and buildings. Sample uses include offices,retail and lodging,theatres,restaurants, and service retail for surrounding residents and visitors.A variety of residential uses are also envisioned and could include reuse of existing buildings,new construction of multi-family residential over ground floor retail or office uses. The subject site is among several Industrial properties along the rail corridor near Meridian Road. The proposed use of a social service(Food Bank)is a permitted use in the O-T zoning which is the zoning the applicant is requesting. The current use is non-conforming,which requires a conditional use permit for any proposed expansion. The rezone to O-T zone will allow the continued use of the existing food bank,remove the non-conforming status and eliminate the need for future CUP approvals to expand the use. For these reasons, staff is not recommending a development agreement with the subject rezone request. "Support a compatible mix of land uses Downtown that activate the area during day and night." (2.09.02G). "Support owners of historic buildings in their efforts to restore and/or preserve their properties. (5.02.01B). Table 4: Project Overview Description Details History N/A Acreage 1.72 acres B. Site Development and Use Analysis I. Existing Structures/Site Improvements (UDC 11-1): The Meridian Food Bank consists of 6 lots with 3 existing structures. All 3 structures are proposed to remain, and a future expansion is proposed. A property boundary adjustment will be required with future expansion applications to consolidate any lot lines that cross through new and existing buildings. 2. Proposed Use Analysis (UDC 11-2): The existing and proposed use of a social service(food bank) is an essential resource for the Meridian community. The Meridian Food Bank is open Monday,Wednesday,and Thursday between 12:00 pm and 4:00 pm. The main reason for the rezoning request is to allow for future expansion to provide additional space for the MFB to assemble food packs for students in West Ada School District. The food packs allow students to have food over the weekends. The number of packs has increased significantly since 2023 and MFB no longer has sufficient room to service all the children in need of resources. The expansion will include an additional 940 square feet of space designated for the purpose of assembly and storage of these food packs. Staff finds this use to be better suited in the O-T City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis zone as it will bring the existing use and structure into conformance with our code while also allowing for expansion of the facility. 3. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2): The existing structures do not conform to the 35-foot street setback required in the I-L zone. By rezoning the property to O-T, all the structures will become conforming as the O-T zone doesn't have setback requirements. All additions and site work shall comply with the O-T standards listed in UDC 11-2D-4. C. Design Standards Analysis 1. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B): i. Landscape buffers along streets The existing 6 properties do not have conforming landscape buffers with the I-L zoning district,however, if rezoned to O-T it would conform with the standards as O-T does not have any landscape buffer requirements. ii. Parking lot landscaping The parking lot landscaping at the Meridian Food Bank does not meet the standards outlined in UDC 11-3B-8. After discussions with the Food Bank, staff recommends allowing the existing non-conforming landscaping to remain. However, staff also advises installing new parking blocks to prevent vehicle overhang from encroaching on walkways,drive aisles, and adjacent properties. Additionally,UDC 11-3B-2 allows for phased landscape improvements as cumulative expansions occur. The City will monitor these thresholds and enforce them as required by the UDC. iii. Landscape buffers to adjoining uses The current landscaping does not conform with the I-L zoning districts standards, however if the property is rezoned to O-T it would bring this into compliance as landscape buffers to adjoining uses is not applicable in the O-T zoning. iv. Tree preservation A Tree Mitigation Plan should be submitted with the certificate of zoning compliance for any future expansion 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 11-3B-1OC.5. v. Storm integration Storm drainage is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC l ]-3A-18. 2. Parking (UDC 11-3C): i. Nonresidential parking analysis The current site has approximately 56 parking spaces exceeding the UDC requirement of 1 space for every 500 square feet of gross floor area. The rezone will not have an impact on the parking standards and any future expansion may require more parking. The current parking lots are substandard and do not meet the city's requirements for parking lot, landscaping and overhang. Staff is recommending the parking lots be restriped and parking blocks are adjusted to allow for a minimum of a 5-foot overhand to adjoining uses and walkways. These improvements will be evaluated with the submittal of the certificate of zoning compliance for the future expansion. ii. Bicycle parking analysis A minimum of one(1)bicycle parking space is required to be provided based on one(1) space for every 25 vehicle spaces or portion thereof per UDC 11-3C-6G;bicycle parking City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis facilities are required to comply with the location and design standards listed in UDC 1I- 3C-5C. The site plan does not include bicycle racks. The Applicant should revise the plans and include one(1)bicycle rack and submit details of the bicycle rack with the CZC submittal. 3. Building Elevations (Comp Plan,Architectural Standards Manual): While a future expansion is planned for MFB, staff is not requiring conceptual elevations at this time. Elevations will be provided with the submittal of the certificate of zoning compliance and design review.Any future building expansion will be required to comply with the design guidelines contained in the Architectural Standards Manual(ASM). 4. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7): Fences shall comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. No additional fencing is being proposed. D. Transportation Analysis 1. Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4): Access is provided off W. Broadway Avenue and NW. 2nd Street,both local streets. The Food Bank also uses the alley as a pickup area for cars to use during their hours of operation. The existing access points can remain as they are currently used for business. 2. Sidewalks (UDC 11-3A-17): There is an existing 6-foot wide attached sidewalk on W.Broadway Avenue along the existing property frontage. Staff does not recommend any additional changes to the frontage improvements. There are also existing five(5) foot wide sidewalks along NW 2nd Street. All sidewalks around buildings and serving public streets shall be a minimum of five(5) feet in width in accordance with UDC 11-3A-17. A continuous internal pedestrian walkway that is a minimum of five (5) feet in width shall be provided from the perimeter sidewalk to the main building entrance(s) for nonresidential uses. The walkway width shall be maintained clear of any obstructions, such as vehicles, outdoor sale displays,vending machines, or temporary structures. E. Services Analysis 1. 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. 2. 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 the best management practice as adopted by the City as set forth in UDC 11-3A-18. 3. 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. City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis CITY/AGENCY COMMENTS A. Meridian Planning Division 1. With the submittal of the certificate of zoning compliance and administrative design review application,the site/landscape plan should include the following: - Restripe the parking lots and place new parking blocks to prevent overhang onto adjacent IV. properties and walkways per UDC 11-3C-5. - Add a bike rack per UDC 11-3C-5C. - A continuous internal pedestrian walkway that is a minimum of five (5) feet in width shall be provided from the perimeter sidewalk to the main building entrance(s) for nonresidential uses per UDC 11-3A-19. - Per UDC 11-313-2,the city allows for phased landscape improvements as cumulative expansions occur. The city will monitor these thresholds and enforce them as required by the UDC 11-313-2. 2.

PROJECT OVERVIEW A. Summary A Preliminary Plat and Development Agreement Modification to convert 216 apartments into 95 single-family attached homes on 10.08 acres of land zoned Traditional Neighborhood Residential (TN-R). B. Issues/Waivers • Kenneey Lateral Property Annexation: o The Kennedy Lateral crosses the applicant's plat and should have been included in the previous annexation for this project. However,the parcel containing the Kennedy Lateral is owned by the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, as verified by deed and legal determination,and was not part of this project. Due to timing constraints, staff proceeded with the current plat. • Noncontagious Parcel: o Parcel#S 1210346890 is not contiguous to the plat, as it is bisected by the Kennedy Lateral parcel,which is owned by the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, as shown in Exhibit VII.J. Since this parcel is neither contiguous nor included in the proposed plat, staff requires the applicant to demonstrate how access to Parcel# S 1210346890 will be provided to ensure maintenance,as required by the original approval. City staff is coordinating with the Ada County Assessor's office to determine if this outparcel can be incorporated as part of the plat. • Density Compliance: o The proposed development has a density of 9.42 units/acre,which is below the targeted density of 12 units/acre per the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area. The project was previously approved with 13.2 units/acre. However,the proposed City of Meridian I Department Report 1. Project Overview density does meet the net density standards of 6 dwelling units per acre in the TN-R zoning district. • Block Length/Dead End Street Length Exceedance(see analysis below) o There are several block lengths which exceed the maximum 500-foot length. o The dead-end street exceeds the maximum 500-foot length C. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the modification of the development agreement to convert 216 apartments into 95 single-family attached homes and the proposed preliminary plat in accordance with Findings in Section V and the conditions of approval in Section IV.

General Overview This property is designated Medium High-Density Residential(MHDR)on the Future Land Use Map(FLUM)and is located within the area governed by the Ten Mile Specific Area Plan (TMISAP). MHDR areas are locations recommended primarily for relatively dense multi-family housing types, such as row houses,townhouses, and condominium and apartment buildings and complexes. These areas should have a mix of housing types that achieve an overall average density target of 12 dwelling units per gross acre with densities ranging from 8-15 units per acre. MHDR areas typically are relatively compact areas within a larger neighborhood and generally should be located around and near more intensely developed areas, such as Mixed Use Commercial or Employment areas, in order to provide convenient access to these commercial activity and employment centers for the greatest number of residents.Apartment buildings are desired to be accessed via shared entrances and hallways. The proposed development,reviewed independently of the original proposal, features a mix of single-family attached homes, including 90 front-loaded garages and 5 alley-loaded townhouses. NOTE: The plat does not include any alley-loaded lots(see analysis below). The overall gross density is 9.42 units per acre,which falls within the density range specified by the MHDR FLUM designation.However, it does not meet the targeted density of 12 dwelling units per acre recommended in the TMISAP. Since the first phase of the development has not been recorded(may soon),the overall gross density of the Newkirk project,with the multi-family removed and the additional residential units added equates to 7 dwelling units per acre. This figure is below the desired gross density for the MHDR FLUM designation but aligns with the net density standards for the TN-R zoning district which is based on net density. The gross density for the new preliminary plat, excluding the first phase is 9.42 dwelling units per acre. In this case,zoning is the predominant factor when analyzing density associated with this project. The table below highlights the surrounding developments within the TMISAP area, detailing the required and approved densities for each. City of Meridian I Department Report III.

History The Newkirk Subdivision,approved by City Council on April 25, 2023,involved the annexation of 22.667 acres with TN-R zoning. The original plan included 63 building lots(44 single-family attached homes, 18 townhomes,and one multi-family development with 216 units)and eight City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis common lots on 20.44 acres,to be developed in two phases: single-family residential in Phase 1 and multi-family in Phase 2. The applicant now proposes removing the multi-family component and replacing it with a mix of single-family attached homes with front-loaded garages and alley-loaded townhouses. This modification reduces the gross density from 13.2 to 7.33 dwelling units per acre,meeting the TN- R district minimum net density of 6 units per acre but falling below the Ten Mile Interchange Plan's target gross density of 12 units per acre. Phase 2(Newkirk East) is now shown as a separate parcel,though the original plat treated the subdivision as one parcel. It appears the property was subdivided without City approval, as the final plat for Phase 1 is not yet recorded with the Ada County Assessor's office. Phase 1 final plat has been signed by the City Engineer and submitted to Ada County for final review and recording,recording is eminent. Additionally,the annexation of the Kennedy Lateral, a gap area owned by the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District,was overlooked during prior approvals. This unincorporated area between parcels will need to be annexed by the City to resolve the issue. C. Site Development and Use Analysis 1. Existing Structures/Site Improvements (UDC 11-1): The property was part of 20.44 acres of land annexed and zoned Traditional Neighborhood Residential(TN--R)zoning district in 2023. This 10.08 parcel was approved as Phase 2 with 216 multi family units. The applicant is proposing a modification to the development agreement to remove the multi family units and replace them with 95 single family residential lots. 2. Proposed Use Analysis (UDC 11-2): The applicant proposes single-family attached dwellings, a principal permitted use in TN-R zoning districts as outlined in UDC Table 11-2A-2. The future land use map designates this area as medium-high density residential, which permits gross densities of 8-12 dwelling units per acre. While the proposal meets the TN-R zoning district's minimum density requirement of 6 units per acre, it falls short of the medium-high density designation's target range. 3. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2): The proposed plat and subsequent development must comply with the dimensional standards outlined in UDC Table 11-2D-6 for the TN-R zoning district. While there is no minimum lot size in the TN-R district, each building site must be of sufficient size to meet the district's minimum setback requirements. The development includes the required minimum of two (2) housing types. Although street-accessed properties are permitted within this district, they are generally expected to be located along the perimeter of a TN-R development. The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed design aligns with the purpose statement of the TN-R district. Additionally, the applicant shall provide justification for the limited number of alley- loaded homes included in the proposal in the form of a waiver. The regulating authority will determine whether the applicant has met the intent of the TN-R district's street design requirements or require a revision of the plat to achieve compliance. City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis D. Design Standards Analysis 1. Structure and Site Design Standards (Comp Plan 3.07.00, Comp Plan 3.07.01A, TMISAP, UDC 11-3A-19): Comprehensive Plan policy 3.07.00 encourages compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land. Comprehensive Plan policy 3.07.0IA requires all new development to create a site design compatible with surrounding uses through buffering, screening, transitional densities, and other best site design practices. All residential neighborhoods in the Ten Mile Interchange area should be developed in consideration of Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND)principals and concepts and the standards established by the City for the TN-R district. Future development should be consistent with the design elements in the TMISAP for the MHDR FL UM designation as determined by the Application of the Design Elements table(see pg. 3-49), as follows: Design Elements: 3-33. Street Design: Useable porches should be a dominant element of residential buildings and should be located along at least 30%of the front facade of the buildings—a higher percentage is recommended as is the location of porches on one or more side facades.When possible,garages should be loaded from a rear alleyway. Where garages must be accessed from the front,the garages must be located no less than 20' behind the primary facade. Front-loaded 2-car garages that are visible from the primary street must be designed with two(2) separate garage doors. 3.34.Buildings to Scale: Everything seen and experienced from the sidewalk—building fronts, lighting, open space—should be designed for human interaction at a pedestrian's perspective. Key elements to consider are the continuity of the building sizes,how the street-level and upper-level architectural detailing is treated, elements that anchor and emphasize pedestrian scale,roof forms,rhythm of windows and doors, and general relationship of buildings to public spaces such as streets,plazas and other open space. Human-scale design is critical to the success of built places for pedestrians. Building entrances should be placed close to the street; ground floor windows,articulated facades, appropriately scaled lighting, awnings and other weather protection should be provided. 3.36.Neighborhood Design: All residential neighborhoods in the Ten Mile interchange area should be developed in consideration of traditional neighborhood design principles and concepts,which pertain to mixed housing stock,architecture and design, streetscapes and streets. Front porches and garages accessed from an alley are usually the standard in residential areas;parking for homes is primarily located behind buildings. Streetscape design relates to the street itself and consists of landscaped parkways with trees between curbs and sidewalks, adjacent sidewalks and front yard spaces and provides public space for street trees, street furniture and view corridors. Other aspects of neighborhood design that contribute to a traditional streetscape are connected network of streets,alleys and sidewalks. Roadways and pedestrian ways are interconnected so that access for pedestrians, cyclists and automobile drivers is direct and convenient and allows traffic to be dispersed through a variety of streets and ways.Narrower streets designed with TND characteristics result in slower moving traffic and provide a safer,more pleasant pedestrian environment and encourages interaction among residents. Building Character Form: • Building Facades -Buildings should be designed so that their primary facades relate to active public spaces and pedestrian areas. The primary facade of a structure is that City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis frontage of the building that has been designed and detailed so as to represent the building's most important elevations. The primary fagade should always include an entry into the building. Entries should be located so as to provide direct access from adjacent public spaces,primary streets and activity areas. Access from walkways should be uninterrupted by vehicular traffic. Buildings should be located so as to help frame adjacent public spaces and to provide an architectural backdrop for associated passive and active activities. The space between a building facade and the adjacent walkway should be appropriately landscaped with a combination of lawns, groundcover, shrubs and trees. • Building Heights -Low-rise buildings of 2-4 stories over much of the area is recommended. • Pitched Roofs-A mix of flat and pitched roofs are anticipated in the Ten Mile area based on a wide variety of individual buildings. Pitched roofs should be,where possible, symmetrical hips or gables,with a pitch between 4:12 and 12:12 with an overhang of at least 12 inches and a maximum of 2.5'. Roof brackets and rafter tail treatments are encouraged. 3.47.Public Art: Public art should be incorporated into the design of streetscapes,public buildings,parks,transit,infrastructure, and other public projects in the Ten Mile area. Public art should be meaningful and encourage the free flow of ideas and cultural ideologies. Public art should be integrated into either the architectural design or the design of plazas and public spaces associated with a building and should be easily visible to the public(e.g. visible from the street or publicly accessible open spaces rather than interior courtyards). The applicant has based the proposed building designs on those that were previously approved with the design review for Newkirk Subdivision. The conceptual designs shown are consistent with recorded DA (2023-051358) as Council approved exceptions to the required TMIASP standards with the original plat H-2022-0088. 2. Qualified Open Space &Amenities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3G): A minimum of 15%qualified open space is required to be provided within the single-family and townhome portion of the development per Table 11-3G-3 for the TN-R zoning district. Based on 10.08 acres of land, a minimum of 1.5 acres is required to be provided that complies with the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3B. A minimum of two (2)points of site amenities are required based on the area of the single family/townhome development. Qualified amenities should include features listed in UDC Table 11-3G-4. A dog park(2 points) with a seating area and waste station (5 points) is proposed which meets the minimum standard. Overall, the proposed amenities exceed the minimum standards. Per the applicant, the amenities in the original Newkirk Subdivision will be available for use by the residents within the Newkirk East Subdivision. The previously approved preliminary plat provided 3.55 acres (34.401o) open space for Phase I as the multi family for Phase 2 had separate requirements for open space. However, when multi family is approved concurrently with single-family, the minimum open space requirements in UDC 11-3G-3 shall apply to the gross land area of the entire development. Therefore, the development exceeded the required 15%open space. 3. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B): i. Landscape buffers along streets City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis A 20-foot-wide street buffer with an 8-foot-wide parkway planted with Class II trees and a 5-foot-wide detached sidewalk has been installed along N. San Marco Way with the Phase 1. An 8-foot-wide parkway with Class II trees is required along all local streets per UDC Table 11-2D-6, landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. ii. Tree preservation There were several existing trees on this site that were removed and mitigated with Newkirk Subdivision Phase 1. iii. 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. iv. Pathway landscaping Landscaping is required along all pathways per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C. 4. Parking (UDC 11-3C): Off-street parking is required to be provided for each home based on the total number of bedrooms per unit as set forth in UDC Table 11-3C-6. On-street parking is also available on the proposed streets. i. Residential parking analysis All single-family attached and townhouse dwelling units are proposed to have a 2-car garage with a 2-space parking pad consistent with UDC Table I1-3C-6 for 1-to 4- bedroom units; if any units contain more than 4 bedrooms, an additional two (2)spaces are required with at least one (1) of those being an enclosed space. Per the applicant, an additional 48 on-street parking spaces (0.5+per home) are available for residents and guests as shown on the parking exhibit in Section VITH. 5. Building Elevations (Comp Plan 2.01.01 C,Architectural Standards Manual): Comprehensive Plan policy 2.01.01 C encourages the applicants to maintain a range of residential land use designations that allow diverse lot sizes, housing types, and densities. To support this policy staff recommends the applicant provide additional housing options (i.e. townhomes, single family attached) in the development. Conceptual building elevations were submitted for the proposed structures within the development as shown in Section VITJ. Two (2) elevations were submitted for the 2-story attached units and for the 2-story townhome units attached in units of three (3); building materials consist of a mix of board&batten siding, soffit board siding, cottage lap siding and shake siding. These plans were previously approved through design review for Phase 1. Design Review:A design review application is required to be submitted for all single-family attached and townhouse structures within the development. Final design of all structures should comply with the standards for traditional neighborhood design listed in the Architectural Standards Manual(ASM) and the recorded DA. City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis 6. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7): Fencing should comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. A six-foot tall solid vinyl fencing is proposed along the eastern and northern property boundary.A five-foot tall open vision iron fence is proposed along the southern and western boundary. 7. Parkways (Comp Plan 3.07.01 C, UDC 11-3A-17): Per Comp Plan policy 3.07.01 C appropriate landscaping, buffers, and noise mitigation with new development along transportation corridors (setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc) is required. Per the UDC the minimum width ofparkways planted with Class II trees shall be eight(8) feet. The width can be measured from the back of curb where there is no likely expansion of the street section within the right-of-way; the parkway width shall exclude the width of the sidewalk. Class II trees are the preferred parkway trees. The applicant will be required to revise their landscape plan to show Class II trees. E. Transportation Analysis 1. Access (Comp Plan 6.01.02B, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4): Access is proposed via the extension off. Zimmerman Way, a local street. San Marco Way extends to the west boundary and connects with W.Aviator St. to be extended with Aviator Subdivision (H-2020-0111).ACHD required the applicant to extend Ski Hill Street from the Ascent Subdivision as part of the preliminary plat approval. After further review of the area, ACHD determined the grade was too steep and removed this condition of approval. Therefore, staff is not recommending this street to be extended with this plat. 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. The Pathways Master Plan does not depict a multi-use pathway on this site. No pathways are proposed except for sidewalks required along streets within the development. 3. Pathways (Comp Plan 4.04.O1A, UDC 11-3A-8): Comprehensive Plan policy 4.04.OIA ensure that new development and subdivisions connect to the pathway system. The proposed development The Pathways Master Plan does not depict a multi-use pathway on this site. No pathways are proposed except for sidewalks required along streets within the development. 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. 5. Subdivision Regulations (UDC 11-6): i. Dead end streets Per UDC 11-6C-3B.4, (a)no streets or series of streets that ends in a cul-de-sac or a dead end shall be longer than five hundred(500)feet except as allowed in subsection(b)of this section. Dead end streets may be approved up to seven hundred fifty(750) feet in length where an emergency access is proposed; or where there is a physical barrier such as a steep slope,railroad tracks, an arterial roadway, or a large waterway that prevents or makes impractical extension; and where a pedestrian connection is provided from the street to an adjacent existing or planned pedestrian facility. City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis The proposed dead-end street is approximately 569 feet and requires City Council waiver. The applicant is required to provide a pedestrian connection from the street to an adjacent existing or planned pedestrian facility. The applicant shall revise their plat map to show how they meet the requirements or provide justification as to why they cannot meet the requirement. The applicant has the option of providing an open space tract within the lots along N. San Marco Way to break up the length of the dead-end road. Revise the plat map to bring the dead-end street into compliance per UDC 11-6C-3B-4 by adding a pedestrian facility along N. Midford Way(Lot 46 or 47, Block 1) to the open space area along N. San Marco Way located within Lot 63, Block 1. ii. Block face UDC 11-6C-3-regulates block lengths for residential subdivisions. Staff has reviewed the submitted plat for conformance with these regulations. In the TN-C and TN-R districts, no block face shall be more than five hundred(500)feet in length without an intersecting street or alley,except as allowed in subsection(17)(3). Subsection(17)(3) states where a pedestrian connection is provided,the maximum block face may be extended up to seven hundred fifty(750)feet in length in the TN-R District. The applicant has several blocks lengths that exceed the 500 feet which need to be shorten or justification needs to be provided as to why they cannot meet the requirement. The applicant has provided an emergency access to N.Manship Lane within the Entrata Farms Subdivision No. 2, which counts towards a break in the block length on the east side of the roadway. The applicant can provide access to the open space area along N. Ascent Avenue from N. Wolfsburg Avenue to break up the block length on the west side of the road. Revise the plat map to bring the block length along A. Wolfsburg Avenue into compliance by adding a pedestrian facility along Block 3, in the vicinity of lots 20-23 to connect to the common lot on Lot 3, Block 3. iii. Alley UDC 11-6C-3B.5 requires alleys to have a minimum of sixteen(16)feet of paving.All alleys shall serve as fire lanes.All alleys shall be concrete or asphalt with a concrete ribbon curb.

Alleys shall be designed so that the entire length is visible from a public street. The applicant's narrative states that there are five (5)single-family attached three Alex, two-story alley-loaded garage homes. However, the preliminary plat does not depict an alley to accommodate these alley-loaded garages. The applicant must revise the plat map to clearly indicate the location of these homes and the corresponding alleys. Additionally, all alleys must comply with the requirements set forth in the Unified Development Code (UDC). iv. Noncontagious Parcel: Parcel#S1210346890 is not contiguous to the plat, as it is bisected by the Kennedy Lateral parcel, which is owned by the Nampa Meridian Irrigation District, as shown in Exhibit VII.J. Since this parcel is neither contiguous nor included in the proposed plat, staff requires the applicant to demonstrate how access to Parcel#S1210346890 will be provided to ensure maintenance, as required by the original approval. City staff is coordinating with the Ada County Assessor's office to determine if this outparcel can be incorporated as part of the plat. v. Street Access: City of Meridian I Department Report 11I. Staff Analysis Through properties are prohibited except where it is shown that unusual topography or other conditions make it impossible to meet this requirement. Through properties shall be limited to one (1) street access on one(1)frontage,designated by a note on the final plat. Lots 2-8 front both N. Ascent Avenue and N. Zimmerman Way. The applicant shall revise the plat map to remove the double street frontage which is prohibited per UDC 11-6C-3. The applicant needs to add a ten (10)foot landscape buffer along the west side of the lots to eliminate the double frontage and access to the parcels will be from N. Ascent Avenue. F.

Exhibits VIII. ADDITIONAL NOTES & DETAILS FOR STAFF REPORT MAPS,TABLES,AND CHARTS (link to Community Metrics) A. One-Mile Radius Existing Condition Notes This data is automatically derived from enterprise application and GIS databases, and exported dynamically. Date retrieved notes generally reflect data acquired or processed within the last 30- days.Analysis is based on a one-mile radius from the centroid of the identified parcel. Parcel based data excludes certain properties and represents land as it exists now. Properties considered are only those with a total assessed value greater than 0(i.e. excludes most HOA area,transitional development, government,and quasi government facilities). The following values also constrain included property acreage to reduce outliers and non-conforming instances from distorting averages: R-2<5.0; R-4<2.0; R-8< 1.0; R-15 <0.5; R-40<0.25. Conditional Use Permits and Preliminary plat data likely include duplicate project submittals as they may be for the same project, approved at different times through multiple application types. Consider each independently or review prior application approvals. Some approved entitlements, and particularly older ones,may be constructed. Decennial population counts and household counts are based on the most recent Decennial Census. Current population and current household values are COMPASS estimates,usually for the year previous, and are based on traffic analysis zone boundaries(TAZ's). B. Mixed Use Analysis Notes This data is derived from enterprise application and GIS databases, and exported dynamically. Data considered for analysis are only those areas overlapping the overall Mixed Use boundary area. Mixed Use areas across arterial roadways are distinct, separate, and not considered as they do not meet the mixed use principles in the Comprehensive Plan(e.g.pedestrian safety, transportation efficiency, etc.). Mixed Use parcel areas may be greater or smaller than the future land use area designation boundary due parcel size,configuration,right-of-way, and other factors. Conditional Use Permits and Preliminary plat data likely include duplicate project submittals as they may be for the same project, approved at different times through multiple application types. Consider each independently or review prior application approvals. C. Service Assessment Notes This data represents existing conditions derived from our enterprise application and GIS database, exported through dynamic reporting. The system references the most recent available data from various sources, including sewer main lines, sewer trunksheds, floodplain, fire service areas and response times,police crime reporting,pathway information,existing and planned transit, roadway improvements, school and park proximity, and other resources. The tool provides context for project review,using multiple indicators consistently. Data from similar topics may vary based on different levels of review. The overall score is based on weighted criteria(not a ranked order), and the percentile score compares the parcel to others in the city(higher is better). This tool was developed as a City Council priority and outcome of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan. Scores,whether high or low, are just one data point and should not be the sole basis for decisions. D. ACHD Roadway Infographic Notes The Ada County Highway District utilizes a number of planning and analysis tools to understand existing and future roadway conditions. • Existing Level of service(LOS).LOS indicator is a common metric to consider a driver's experience with a letter ranking from A to F.Letter A represents free flow conditions, and on the other end Level F represents forced flow with stop and go City of Meridian I Department Report VIII. Additional Notes&Details for Staff Report Maps, Tables, and Charts conditions. These conditions usually represent peak hour driver experience. ACHD considers Level D, stable flow,to be acceptable. The LOS does not represent conditions for bikes or pedestrians, nor indicate whether improvements: are possible; if there are acceptable tradeoffs; or if there is a reasonable cost-benefit. • Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP).The IFYWP marker(yes/no) indicates whether the specified roadway is listed in the next 5-years. This work may vary, from concept design to construction. • Capital Improvement Plan(CIP).The CIP marker(yes/no)indicates whether the specified roadway is programmed for improvement in the next 20-years.
