RE: H-2025-0002 /Parcel Nos. SO429417375 & SO429449000/Rockwell Greens Subdivision
Nick,
The City of Meridian has requested feedback regarding the proposed annexation with zoning
of R-15 (Medium High Density Residential) and a preliminary plat for the Rockwell Greens
Subdivision, which will consist of 412 buildable lots and 27 common lots on 51.15-acres
located on the NWC of McDermott Road and McMillan Road on Parcel Nos. SO429417375
and SO429449000, within the City's Area of City Impact.
Ada County is supportive of the application due to the proximity of the site to existing public
services. Goal 2.2f of the Ada County Comprehensive Plan encourages residential development
to occur at urban densities within Areas of City Impact where public facilities are
available. As the Future Land Use Map of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, as adopted by
Ada County,designates the site as Medium Density Residential, which is primarily intended for
single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre. As the gross density
of the proposed project is 8.05 units per acre, the application is compatible with the
comprehensive plan.
The layout of the development also complies with many of the goals of the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan with the proposal to dedicate over 17% of the site as open space with
amenities that include a community pool with facilities, playground, three pickleball courts,
and pathways are supported by Goal 2.02.00, which encourages safe, attractive, and well-
maintained neighborhoods that have ample open space and generous amenities; and Goal
4.04.01A, which encourages new development and subdivisions connect to the pathway system.
The proposed stub street to the east is in compliance by Goal 6.01.02C, which requires new
development to establish street connections to existing local roads and collectors as well as to
underdeveloped adjacent properties.The proposal to construct a new north/south collector street
along the western boundary is in compliance with Goal 6.01.03B, which requires collectors
consistent with the ACHD Master Street Map (MSM), generally at/near the mid-mile location
within the Area of City Impact.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and please feel free to contact me with any
questions.
