III. STAFF ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC)
A. General Overview
The property is zoned R-15 which is Medium high Density Residential. This designation allows
for a mix of dwelling types including townhouses, condominiums, and apartments. Residential
gross densities should range from eight to twelve dwelling units per acre. These areas are
relatively compact within the context of larger neighborhoods and are typically located around or
near mixed use commercial or employment areas to provide convenient access to services and
jobs for residents. Developments need to incorporate high quality architectural design and
materials and thoughtful site design to ensure quality of place and should also incorporate
connectivity with adjacent uses and area pathways, attractive landscaping and a project identity.
The Future Land Use Map(FLUM)is designated as Old Town(O-T). 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 City has developed specific architectural
standards for Old Town and other traditional neighborhood areas. Pedestrian amenities are
emphasized in Old Town via streetscape standards.Additional public and quasi-public amenities
and outdoor gathering area are encouraged. Future planning in Old Town will be reviewed in
accordance with Destination Downtown, a visioning document for redevelopment in Downtown
Meridian.
The proposed short plat aims to subdivide a 0.472-acre property located in the R-15 zoning
district into three(3)building lots. The applicant intends to retain the existing single-family
attached home on two lots and construct an additional single-family detached home and an
secondary dwelling unit above the detached garage on the newly created lot. The lots range in
size from 3,866—6,268 square feet,resulting in a project density of 8.47 dwelling units per acre.

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.
City of Meridian I Department Report VIII. Additional Notes&Details for Staff Report
Maps, Tables, and Charts
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
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.
