RE: H-2025-0047 /Parcel No. R7824220180/ Shafer View Ridge Subdivision
Linda,
The City of Meridian has requested feedback regarding the proposed annexation with zoning of R-
4 (Medium Density Residential) and a preliminary plat for the Shafer View Ridge Subdivision,
which will consist of 29 buildable lots and 9 common lots on 13.44-acres on Parcel No.
R7824220180 located east of S Meridian Road and south of E Shafer View Drive,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 Low Density Residential, which is primarily intended for single-family homes at densities
of two to four dwelling units per acre and the proposed gross density of the project is 2.2 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 21%of the site as open space with amenities
that include a playground and pathways throughout the community are supported by Goal 2.02.00,
which encourages safe,attractive, and well-maintained neighborhoods that have ample open space.
The proposed two (2) stub street to the south are 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.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and please feel free to contact me with any
questions.
Sincerely,
