Napoli: Good morning, Members of the Council. So, yes, Item 2 for Farrington Heights,
the applicant is requesting to be remanded back to the Planning and Zoning
Commission. The Planning and Zoning Commission was recommending denial of the
project and the applicant would like to make some changes to the plat to better address
the neighbors' concerns before bringing it in front of you guys and that does require
some revised drawings that would do a new staff report for the Planning and Zoning
Commission, which would get a new recommendation, which will, then, be brought
before you guys shortly. So, I guess do you have any questions? I will stand for any
questions you guys have at this time.
Strader: Okay. Thank you very much, Nick. City Council, any questions?
Overton: Seems appropriate.
Strader: Okay. I have a question. I think it's more of a legal question, but is there -- do
we need to keep our public hearing open to go ahead and remand this back? I guess a
question for legal counsel, if Emily has a thought.
Kane: Madam Vice-President, Members of Council, this -- the public hearing would be
closed and, then, the Planning and Zoning Commission would take it from there.
Strader: Okay. All right. Fantastic. I think we understand the order of operations that
we are going in. All right. Council?
Overton: Madam Vice-President?
Strader: Councilman Overton.
Overton: I move that we close the public hearing for Farrington Heights Subdivision, H-
2025-0016.
Little Roberts: Second.

applicant needs to address concerns of neighbors and being revised it will come back to
the City Council at a future date, undetermined at this time.

III. STAFF ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC)
A. General Overview
This property is designated Medium Density Residential on the City's Future Land Use Map
(FLUM)contained in the Comprehensive Plan. The medium-density residential designation
allows for dwelling units at gross densities of three(3)to eight(8)dwelling units per acre.
Density bonuses may be considered with the provision of additional public amenities such as a
park, school,or land dedicated for public services.
The applicant proposes to rezone 4.68 acres of land from the R-4 zoning district to the R-15
zoning district. A preliminary plat and conceptual building elevations were submitted showing
how the property is proposed to be subdivided and developed with thirty(30)residential building
lots and seven(7)commons lots at a gross density of 5.77 units per acre. The proposed use and
density are consistent with the Medium Density Residential(MDR)FLUM designation of three
(3)to eight(8)units per acre.
Additionally,the applicant is proposing a development agreement modification to terminate the
existing development agreement(DA)and create a new one.
The R-15 zoning designation,which allows for reduced lot sizes down to 2,000 square feet,
provides flexibility for developers to support a diversity and variety of housing types. This can
create a dynamic,multi-generational community where residents can transition through different
stages of life(known as aging in place)while remaining in the same neighborhood. This type of
zoning in conjunction with other designations, should be used to support a diverse housing mix
that supports long-term residency and continuity within the community,promoting stability and a
sense of place for residents throughout different stages of life.
The surrounding landscape consists of single-family detached homes to the east,west,and north,
while to the south is Pine Avenue. The average density for a one-mile radius is 6.1 units per acre,
which is higher than the 5.77 units per acre the applicant is proposing. Single-family detached
dwellings are listed as a principally permitted use in the R-15 zoning district per UDC Table 11-
2A-2. The applicant is proposing to keep the three(3) existing homes on the property and will
configure new lot lines around the existing homes that conform to the dimensional standards. In
addition to this,the applicant is proposing to complete the subdivision in a single phase.
Future development is subject to the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-7 for the
R-15 zoning district. The property is already annexed with the R-4 zoning. The City may require
a development agreement(DA)in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to Idaho Code section
67-651IA. If this property is annexed, Staff recommends a DA is required with the provisions
discussed herein and included in Section IV.
Overall,the proposed infill development is an allowed use within the Medium Density
Residential designation and contributes to the area's intended mix of residential housing types.
Therefore, staff is supportive of the proposed development with the conditions and DA listed in
Section IV.
Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.02.02C: Support infill development that does not negatively impact
the abutting, existing development. Infill projects in Downtown should develop at higher
densities, irrespective of existing development.
Staff encouraged the applicant to converse with the neighbor early on in the process, and after
their neighborhood meeting,the applicant indicated the neighbors had minimal concerns. With
this knowledge, staff is supportive of the infill development but still have concerns with the lack
of regional parks in the area for residents to access and use.
Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.02.OID:Require pedestrian access in all new development to link
subdivisions together and promote neighborhood connectivity.
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis
The applicant will be extending the sidewalk along the west side of N. Adkins Avenue to connect
with the northern subdivision,which will improve the walkability in the neighborhood. However,
there is still an Ada County parcel that will leave a gap in the sidewalk. Once the Ada County
parcel annexes into the city,the sidewalk will be completed along the west side of Adkins.
Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.01.02B:Reduce the number of existing access points onto arterial
streets by using methods such as cross-access agreements, access management, and
frontage/backage roads, and promoting local and collector street connectivity.
The applicant will be eliminating three access points to E. Pine Avenue,which will decrease the
number of curb cuts on an increasingly busier arterial roadway.
Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.02.00:Plan for safe, attractive, and well-maintained
neighborhoods that have ample open space, and generous amenities that provide varied lifestyle
choices.
Open space and amenities are not required by the UDC since the development is five (5)acres or
less. However, staff has concerns with the lack of opportunities for outdoor recreation for
residents in this area as there is no regional park nearby. Staff would like the Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council to carefully consider if open space and amenities shall be
incorporated into the design of the infill project.

B. History
The subject properties were annexed in 2000 as a part of Farrington, Opal application(AZ-00-
012). The zoning granted at the time of annexation was the R-4 zoning district. With the
annexation approval,the properties were subject to a DA that restrict the property to adding one
additional home on the 4.68 acres. The existing DA will be replaced with a new DA to update the
concept plan and provisions to improvements relevant to the current proposal.
C. Site Development and Use Analysis
1. Existing Structures/Site Improvements (UDC 11-1):
The subject site contains three(3) existing homes that will be remaining with the formation of
the subdivision. These homes will be included in southern portion of the development and
shall conform to the dimensional standards listed UDC Tables 11-2A-5 and 11-2A-7.
2. Proposed Use Analysis (UDC 11-2):
The applicant is proposing single-family detached homes (27 new and 3 existing),which are
listed as a principal permitted use in UDC Table 11-2A-2 for the R-15 zoning district. In
addition to this,the proposed gross density of the subdivision is 5.77 units per acre,which is
less than the one-mile radius average density of 6.1 units per acre.
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis
However, due to the size of Lots 20,21, 22, and 23, staff recommends that the southern
portion of the site retain the R-4 zoning designation, as it is more appropriate for the existing
lot sizes. The applicant shall submit a revised legal description and exhibit for the rezone
prior to the City Council hearing.
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.
Comprehensive Plan policy 2.01.01 G states development should avoid the concentration of
any one housing type or lot size in any geographical area;provide for diverse housing types
throughout the City.
Comprehensive Plan policy 2.06.02D encourages a diversity of housing, recreation, and
mobility options to attract and sustain the local workforce.
The applicant is proposing a total of 30 detached single-family homes,which is consistent
with what has been approved in the surrounding subdivisions. However,the lot sizes in this
development are smaller than the neighboring subdivisions. There is approximately a two to
one(2:1)transition to the adjacent subdivisions,which provides a smaller housing product
into the area. As noted above,the neighbors were supportive of the proposed transition.
3. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
The proposed plat and subsequent development are required to comply with the dimensional
standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-7 for the R-15 zoning district. The proposed plat
complies with the dimensional standards of the R-15 zoning district. If the southern portion of
the site remains zoned R-4, the subdivision also appears to meet the dimensional
requirements for that district. However, the applicant must verify that Lots 21 and 23, Block
1, meet the required garage and living space setbacks, given that Adkins Avenue will be
improved with curb, gutter, and sidewalk, and the lot lines are being adjusted. An exhibit
demonstrating compliance with these setback standards must be submitted with the final plat
application/.
D. Design Standards Analysis
1. Site Design Standards (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-19):
Goals 2.01.02D,2.01.01 G,and 2.02.02C of the Comprehensive Plan emphasize the
importance of offering diverse housing types throughout Meridian to accommodate the needs,
preferences, and financial capacities of current and future residents. These goals also support
infill development that complements existing neighborhoods.
The subject site is adjacent to established R-8 subdivisions—Danbury Fair Subdivision Nos.
1 and 7,and Maws Add No. 3—to the east,north, and west. The applicant submitted a
preliminary plat and conceptual building elevations proposing 30 single-family detached
dwellings at a gross density of 5.77 units per acre(see Section VII.G). This density aligns
with the Medium Density Residential(MDR)Future Land Use Map(FLUM) designation.
Although the proposed subdivision does not provide a one-to-one lot size transition with the
adjacent neighborhoods,the inclusion of various lot sizes will help diversify the housing
stock in the area and citywide. A county enclave parcel remains to the north along N.Adkins
Avenue,which will result in a persistent gap in the sidewalk network.
The property is contiguous to annexed City land to the north and lies within the City's Area
of City Impact.A legal description and exhibit map of the proposed R-15 rezone area are
included in Section VII. Pursuant to Idaho Code § 67-6511A,the City may require a
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis
development agreement(DA)with annexation. Staff recommends that a DA be required,
incorporating the provisions outlined herein and in Section IV.
2. Qualified Open Space &Amenities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3G):
UDC Section 11-3G-2 requires common open space and amenities for developments that are
five(5) acres or larger. The proposed development, at 4.68 acres,falls below this threshold
and is therefore not subject to the open space and amenity requirements outlined in the code.
However, staff have engaged in multiple discussions with the applicant regarding the value of
including open space and amenities, especially given the absence of a regional park in the
surrounding area. While not a code requirement, staff are concerned about the lack of
recreational space or amenities for future residents.
Therefore, staff is recommending one(1) amenity in the form of a picnic area in Lot 19,
Block 1.
Additionally, Comprehensive Plan Goal 2.02.00 emphasizes the importance of planning for
safe, attractive, and well-maintained neighborhoods that offer ample open space and diverse
amenities to support a variety of lifestyles.
Given the proposed density of the subdivision,staff recommends that the Planning and
Zoning Commission and City Council thoughtfully consider whether a project of this
scale and intensity is appropriate in the absence of any dedicated open space or
community amenities.
3. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B):
i. Landscape buffers along streets
UDC 11-2A-7 requires a twenty-five(25) foot wide landscape buffer along E. Pine
Avenue, an arterial roadway. A landscape buffer is not required along N. Adkins Avenue,
a local street;however, a 10-foot setback to the living space is required from the back of
the sidewalk.
The applicant has provided a twenty-five(25)foot wide landscape buffer along E. Pine
Avenue and is required to comply with the dimensional standards for the R-15 district.
With the submittal of the final plat, the applicant shall provide vegetation coverage
calculations.
ii. Tree preservation
Mitigation shall be required for all existing trees four-inch caliper or greater that are
removed from the site with equal replacement of the total calipers lost on site up to an
amount of one hundred(100)percent replacement(Example: Two(2)ten-inch caliper
trees removed may be mitigated with four 5-inch caliper trees, five(5)four-inch caliper
trees, or seven(7)three-inch caliper trees). Deciduous specimen trees four-inch caliper or
greater may count double towards total calipers lost,when planted at entryways,within
common open space, and when used as focal elements in landscape design.
The applicant shall provide mitigation calculations with submittal of the final plat if any
trees are being removed from the property.
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
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis
stormwater facilities into required landscape areas,where topography and hydrologic
features allow if part of the development.
iv. Pathway landscaping
No new pathway is being proposed as the existing attached ten(10)foot multi-use along
E. Pine Avenue is going to remain.
4. Parking (UDC 11-3C):
i. Residential parking analysis
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 portions of the proposed streets.
Lot 23 will be taking access off Adkins Avenue. The applicant shall submit an exhibit
showing the garage and street setback to the property in compliance with the standards.
Lot 23 has an existing home that shall have the necessary twenty(20)foot garage setback
and fifteen (15)foot living setback.
5. Building Elevations (Comp Plan, Architectural Standards Manual):
Goal 5.01.02D of the Comprehensive Plan highlights the need for effective building design
and landscaping to buffer, screen,beautify,and integrate commercial,multifamily,and
parking areas with existing neighborhoods. In response,the developer has submitted two(2)
conceptual building elevations that illustrate the appearance of future homes in the
development(see Section VII).
The proposed designs include variations of two-story homes, each featuring a two-car garage.
The elevations showcase a range of architectural styles and design elements, including lap
siding,neutral color accents,brick and stone veneer,varied roof profiles, and different home
styles. Staff review confirms that these elevations adhere to the city's architectural standards
and comply with the required design criteria.
Homes on lots that abut W.Pine Avenue, an arterial street,-will be highly visible;therefore,
the rear and/or side of structures on these lots (i.e. Lots 20,21, and 23,Block 1 ) should
incorporate articulation through changes in two or more of the following: modulation(e.g.
projections,recesses, step-backs,pop-outs),bays,banding,porches,balconies,material types,
or other integrated architectural elements to break up monotonous wall planes and roof lines
that are visible from the subject public street.Single-story and existing structures are exempt
from this requirement.
6. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. According to
the submitted landscape plans,the applicant is proposing two types of fencing throughout the
site, six(6) foot solid vinyl fencing and a four(4) foot wrought iron semi-privacy fencing.
In addition,the applicant shall indicate the fencing location on the residential lots with the
submittal of the building permits. These will be required to comply with UDC 11-3A-7.
E. Transportation Analysis
1. Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4):
Goals 6.01.01H and 6.01.02B of the Comprehensive Plan stress the need to minimize the
number of direct access points onto arterial streets. This can be achieved through cross-access
agreements, access management, frontage and backage roads,and enhancing connectivity
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis
through local and collector streets. Additionally,these goals highlight the importance of
incorporating pedestrian access connectors in new developments to link subdivisions and
support neighborhood connectivity within a community pathway system.
Access to the property is proposed from N. Adkins Avenue,a local roadway on the eastern
portion of the site. This local road is a shared drive between the proposed subdivision and the
existing subdivision to the east and north. The applicant is proposing two(2) access points off
N. Adkins Avenue with a common drive accessing the three(3)properties on the southern
portion of the site and a common drive accessing three (3)properties on the northern portion
of the site.
2. Multiuse Pathways and Pathways (UDC 11-3A-5, Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-8):
Comprehensive Plan policy 4.04.01A ensures that new development and subdivisions
connect to the pathway system.
UDC 11-3G-5 emphasizes the importance of common open space and amenities being
located in areas that maximize pedestrian and bicycle connectivity.
Multi-use 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 standards along Arterial roadways are to provide a
detached ten(10) foot wide sidewalks (multiuse pathway),however, in conversation with the
parks department, it was determined the existing ten(10) foot attached multi-use pathway
will be sufficient due to it being relatively new. The applicant is in compliance with this, as
the ten(10)foot sidewalk already exists along E. Pine Avenue.
3. 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.A sidewalk connection along the west side of N. Adkins Avenue is
required to be installed to connect the existing subdivision to the multi-use pathway along E.
Pine Avenue. The applicant is depicting the sidewalk on the landscape plan in compliance
with this standard. The applicant shall provide a street section exhibit with the submittal of
the final plat reflecting compliance with these standards.
With the construction of the sidewalk along the western side of Adkins,the sidewalk will
extend to the north and stub at the lone remaining Ada County parcel. The sidewalk will be
completed when the Ada County parcel annexes in the future.
4. Subdivision Regulations (UDC 11-6):
i. Dead end streets
The proposed subdivision does not contain a dead end street other than the two(2)
common drives as discussed below.
ii. Common driveways
Per UDC 11-6C-3D, common driveways shall serve a maximum of four(4) dwelling
units. In no case shall more than three(3)dwelling units be located on one(1) side of the
driveway unless alternative compliance is applied for.
The applicant is proposing two (2) common drives in the development in which the
northern one services three (3) homes and the southern one services three (3) homes.
Both appear to be in compliance with the UDC 11-6C-3D.
The applicant worked with staff to modify the common drives to provide the five (5)feet
of landscaping required in the UDC 11-6.Additionally, the applicant has provided
City of Meridian I Department Report 11I. Staff Analysis
details into where the curb cuts for Lots 20, 21, and 22 will taking access from on the
southern common drive.
iii. Block face
UDC 11-6C-3-regulates block lengths for residential subdivisions. The intent of this
section of code is to ensure block lengths do not exceed 750 ft, although there is the
allowance of an increase in block length to 1,000 feet if a pedestrian connection is
provided. In no case shall a block face exceed one thousand two hundred(1,200)feet,
unless waived by the City Council. The applicant is compliance with the block length
requirements in the UDC.
F. Services Analysis
I. Waterways (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-6):
The existing irrigation ditches on the property shall be piped or tiled in accordance with UDC
11-3A-6.
2. Pressurized Irrigation(UDC 11-3A-I S):
An underground pressurized irrigation system is required to be installed to provide irrigation
to each lot in the subdivision in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-15.
3. Storm Drainage (UDC 11-3A-18):
An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments by the City's adopted
standards, specifications, and ordinances. Design and construction shall follow the best
management practices as adopted by the City as outlined in UDC I I-3A-18. Storm drainage
will be proposed with a future Certificate of Zoning Compliance application and shall be
constructed to City and ACHD design criteria.
4. Utilities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-21):
Ensure development is connected to City of Meridian water and sanitary sewer systems and
the extension to and through said developments are constructed in conformance with the City
of Meridian Water and Sewer System Master Plans in effect at the time of development. All
utilities are available to the site. Water main, fire hydrant and water service require a twenty-
foot(20)wide easement that extends ten(10)feet past the end of main,hydrant, or water
meter.No permanent structures, including trees, are allowed inside the easement.
Comprehensive Plan policy 3.03.03G require urban infrastructure to be provided for all new
developments,including curb and gutter, sidewalks,water and sewer utilities.

V. FINDINGS
A. Rezone(UDC 11-511-3E)
Upon recommendation from the commission,the council shall make a full investigation and shall,
at the public hearing,review the application. In order to grant an annexation and/or rezone,the
council shall make the following findings:
1. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan;
The Commission finds the map amendment does not comply with the applicable provisions of
the Comprehensive Plan in regard to the Medium Density Residential future land use map
City of Meridian I Department Report V. Findings
designation for the site. This is primarily due to the lack of transition in lot sizes to the
existing residential.
2. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district,
specifically the purpose statement;
The Commission finds that the proposed map amendment and subsequent development will
contribute to the range of housing opportunities available in the City. However, the
