STAFF ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC) A. General Overview Development Agreement Modification: A modification to the existing Development Agreement (DA) (Inst. #2020-178120)is proposed to replace it with a new agreement for the subject property and to include specific design requirements.A legal description for the boundary of the new DA is included in Section VII.E below. The conceptual development plan included in the existing DA and shown below in Section VII.C, did not include a development plan for this portion of the property—this area was depicted as "future development". The DA requires a modification to the agreement prior to development of the Mixed Use—Community(MU-C) designated areas to include a conceptual development plan that demonstrates consistency with the general guidelines for Mixed Use developments and specifically the MU-C designation. A concept development plan is proposed for the subject property,included below in Section VI1.13,that demonstrates how the subject property is proposed to develop with a mix of single- family residential detached and attached homes and collector streets. Approximately 40.5-acres of the property is designated Medium Density Residential(MDR)with the 10.9-acres at the northeast corner designated MU-C on the Future Land Use Map(FLUM) contained in the Comprehensive Plan. The MDR designation allows residential development at a gross density of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The MU-C designation allows a mix of community-serving uses and dwellings that are integrated within the overall area. Residential uses are expected to comprise between 20% and 50%of the development area with gross densities ranging from 6 to 15 units per acre of the residential area. Supportive and proportional public and/or quasi-public spaces and places should comprise a minimum of 5%of the development area. The gross density of the residential area within the MU-C designated area is approximately 6 units per acre and the residential area within the MDR designated area is approximately 4.1 units per acre,which is consistent with the desired density in both designations; no community-serving uses are proposed on the subject property. There is approximately 130 acres of MU-C designated land centered at the Locust Grove/Lake Hazel intersection area. The northwest, southwest and southeast corners comprising about 97.5 acres of the area, are either developed or have planned future uses. Of that area, about 46.8 acres will be non-residential uses and includes an existing school—it is unknown how the 2.6 acre site shown as"NAP"on the map below will develop but commercial is likely—if it develops with commercial uses, a total of 49.4 acres of non-residential uses will be provided within these areas, City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis which is about 50%of the MU-C designated land area. This leaves about 33 acres on the northeast corner yet to develop,which is zoned C-C and R-15 and will likely develop with a mix of residential and commercial uses. i Mixed Use community Furu►le FLUM rrfi aIEVELD IEW y f Designated Area k l i f.,IT Aly - _.T. DEVE;I. 'I 1 Existing and FrPot�gE oN 1 ��" proposed i commercial I NAP E The following provisions contained in the DA are applicable to this site: (Staffs comments in italics) • Future preliminary plats shall include collector streets consistent with those shown on the Master Street Map(MSM),as required by Ada County Highway District; Future collector streets are designated on the MSM adjacent to the northern boundary of the proposed preliminary plat along the west side of the rezone area in alignment with S. Apex Ave. to the north and E. Tower St. to the east and should be included in a future subdivision of the property to the north as a provision of the new DA. The conceptual developmentplan submitted with this application, included below in Section VII.C, depicts the collector streets,however, at least half+12'(or as otherwise required by ACHD) of the north/south collector street along the west boundary should be located on the property to the north instead of on the adjacent property to the west and should align with S.Apex Ave. on the north side of E.Lake Hazel Rd.;and the east/west collector street should stub to the Murgoitio property in alignment with E. Tower St. on the east side of S.Locust Grove Rd. . This has been undated by the applicant and included as an exhibit below. • Prior to development of the Mixed Use—Community(MU-C) designated areas shown on the Master Plan as"future development,"the Development Agreement shall be amended to include a conceptual development plan that demonstrates consistency with the general City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis guidelines for Mixed Use developments and specifically the MU-C designation(see pgs. 3-13 and 3-15 thru 3-16). As noted above, a mix of single family residential uses, detached and attached units with some alley-loaded units, are proposed in the northern MU-C designated portion of this site with a gross density of 6 units/acre, which is consistent with the desired density of 6 to 15 units per acre. However, the proposed development isn't consistent with other design elements of the MU-C designation that pertain to integration of uses and vehicular interconnectivity between developments due to the orientation of the proposed development in relation to the future non-residential uses to the north and the gated development, which restricts access and hinders integration of uses as desired in MU-C designated areas. The City Council should determine if the proposed development plan should be modified to be more consistent with the general mixed use and MU-C development guidelines in the Comprehensive Plan as required by the DA. • The rear and/or side of structures on lots that face E. Lake Hazel Rd. and S. Locust Grove Road, arterial streets, and S. Vertex Way,E. Tower St.,E. Crescendo St., S.Apex Ave. and E. Via Roberto St.,collector streets, shall 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 structures are exempt from this requirement; This provision should be carried over to the new DA for homes on lots that face S. Locust Grove Rd. and E. Via Roberto St. • All future development, except for single-family detached dwellings, is required to comply with the design standards listed in the Architectural Standards Manual; This provision should be carried over to the new DA. • The Murgoitio property(Parcel#S 1406110110) located southwest of the E. Lake Hazel/S. Locust Grove Road intersection shall be included in a future subdivision of the surrounding property(Parcel#S 1406110350 or#S 1406110015)in order to establish a legal division of land. Or, if a parcel division was approved by Ada County for the current configuration of the property,proof of such shall be submitted to the Planning Division with a future subdivision application for the surrounding property. The property configuration in this area has changed since the previous development application and the parcel numbers are no longer the same except for Parcel #51406110110. Staff recommends a new DA provision is added for the northern rezone portion of the property not included in the subject plat(Parcel#S1406110016), to be included in a subsequent plat that includes the Murgoitio parcel(#51406110110)to establish a legal division of land for development purposes. • Multi-use pathways shall be provided with development as required by the Park's Department in accord with the Pathways Master Plan. The proposed development includes multi-use pathway as required by the Park's Dept. in accord with the Pathways Master Plan. Rezone: A rezone of 56.11-acres of land is proposed from the R-8 to the R-15 zoning district for the development of a mix of single-family detached and attached(aka paired) dwellings. Annexation: A narrow strip of land approximately 25 feet in width consisting of 0.86 acres exists along the west side of the Rawson Canal along the west boundary of the property that was inadvertently not included in the original annexation legal description. Because this area is part of City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis the legal parcel,it needs to be annexed. Therefore, annexation is requested with R-15 zoning consistent with the proposed rezone of the rest of the parcel. De-Annexation: There is a narrow strip of land to the south of the Rawson Canal along the west boundary of the site and the adjacent property to the south(S 1406417700 Murgoitio)that was inadvertently included in the original annexation. This area was previously included in a Record of Survey(ROS)to adjust the property line between the two properties and the abutting property to the west(S 1406131700 Bruno)but was never recorded so it's still part of the original parcels. Before a new property boundary adjustment/ROS can be approved and recorded between the properties to rectify the issue,the property needs to be in the County. Therefore,de-annexation of 0.52 acres of land from the City to Ada County is proposed. Per the County,once the City records the ordinance to de-annex the property,the County will initiate a rezone application,with the County as the Applicant,to apply an equivalent County zoning designation(see ACC 8-1-6). This will follow the standard process—Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation followed by a Board of County Commissioners decision—which typically takes 2-3 months. Preliminary Plat: A preliminary plat is proposed consisting of 228 building lots for single- family residential dwellings,41 common lots and 16 other lots on 51.5-acres of land in the proposed R-15 district with private streets in the gated portion of the development. The plat is proposed to develop in five(5)phases as shown on the phasing plan below in SectionVII.G. The minimum residential lot size in the gated portion of the development(i.e. "Cadence")is 3,738 square feet(s.f.)with an average lot size of 4,665 s.f.; the gross density is 4.60 units/acre with a net density of 9.34 units/acre. The minimum residential lot size in the non-gated portion of the development,which consists of 16 homes, is 6,600 s.f. with an average lot size of 7,233 s.f.; the gross density is 2.78 units/acre with a net density of 5.65 units/acre. The overall gross density is 4.43 units/acre with a net density of 8.99 units/acre.Where attached dwellings are proposed to span over the shared property line,zero setbacks should be depicted on the plat. To ensure the property included in the preliminary plat is a legal parcel for development, Staff recommends a condition of approval is included that requires the property boundary adjustment referenced above under"De-Annexation"to be approved by the County and the ROS recorded prior to submittal of the first phase final plat application for the development; proof of such should be submitted to the Planning Division. Planned Unit Development(PUD): A PUD is proposed for a(mostly)gated residential development consisting of a mix of single-family attached(aka"Paired Cadence")and detached ("Carriage Lane"and"Conventional")homes, front-loaded and alley-loaded,with a variety of lot sizes, setbacks and home designs at an overall net density of 9.34 units/acre. Except for the 16 homes at the southwest corner of the development,which have public street access,the other 212 homes are accessed via private streets with alleys and common driveways off the private streets. The gated portion of the development will be restricted to residents 55 years of age and older. The clubhouse and sports courts will be tailored to the residents of the community. The PUD includes requests for deviations from certain UDC standards,as follows: • The UDC(11-3F-4A.4b)restricts gated developments to no more than 100 dwelling units; a greater number of units may be approved with a PUD. A total of 212 dwelling units are proposed; and • A reduction in the(local) street setback to living area from 10-feet to 5-feet is proposed for alley-loaded(aka Carriage Lane)units.

History This property was originally annexed with a Development Agreement(DA) (Inst. #2016-007072) as part of the larger South Meridian annexation in 2015 and assigned a"placeholder"zoning district of R-4. Any future development required an amendment to the DA to approve a proposed development plan. The DA was amended in 2020(Inst. #2020-178120—Apex H-2020-0066)and the property was rezoned to R-8 but a development plan was not submitted at that time for this portion of the overall property. C. Site Development and Use Analysis 1. Existing Structures/Site Improvements (UDC 11-1): None 2. Proposed Use Analysis (UDC 11-2): Single-family detached and attached dwellings are listed as principal permitted uses in the R- 15 zoning district in UDC Table 11-2A-2. 3. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2): See UDC Table 11-2A-7. As noted above, a reduction in the street setback to living area from 10-feet to 5-feet is proposed with the PUD from the local(private) street for single- family detached alley-loaded(aka Carriage Lane)units. Zero(0) setbacks should be depicted on the final plat on lot lines where attached units are proposed. 4. Planned Unit Developments (UDC 11-7): As set forth in UDC 11-7-1,the purpose of the PUD requirements is to provide an opportunity for exemplary site development that meets the following objectives: 1. Preserves natural, scenic and historic features of major importance; 2. Allows for innovative design that creates visually pleasing and cohesive patterns of development(including,but not limited to,residential development at densities greater than eight(8)units per acre where design guidelines are in place for development and where garage doors are generally not fronting the street); and 3. Creates functionally integrated development that allows for a more efficient and cost- effective provision of public services. Staff is unaware of any natural, scenic or historic features of major importance that may exist on this site. The proposed development generally allows for innovative design that creates visually pleasing and cohesive patterns of development—garage doors don't front the street on interior lots where alley-loaded(Carriage Lane)units are proposed—the remainder of the development does have garage doors fronting the street. Pathway connectivity is proposed within the development and to adjacent properties;however,vehicular connectivity is not proposed with the future mixed-use area to the north or the conventional homes proposed at the southwest corner of the development as the 55+portion of the development(i.e. Carriage Lane and Paired Cadence)is proposed to be gated off.Because the development is proposed to be gated,the rear of structures are oriented toward the MU-C area, and there is no vehicular interconnectivity,it is not functionally integrated with the MU-C designated area to the north as desired. City of Meridian I Department Report 11I. Staff Analysis As set forth in UDC 11-7-4,the Council may approve PUD's upon recommendation by the Commission, in accord with the standards for general use,private open space,residential use and infill planned developments, as follows: General use standards: • Deviations from underlying district requirements: Deviations from the development standards and/or area requirements of the district in accord with UDC 11-2, "district regulations",may be approved. The following deviations are proposed: o A reduction in the street setback to living area from 10-feet to 5-feet for alley-loaded(Carriage Lane)units from the local(private) street is requested. o Allowance for 212 dwelling units in a gated development,which is otherwise restricted to 100 dwelling units per UDC 11-3F-4A.4b but a greater number may be approved with a PUD; and • Allowed uses: Applicant may request that specific conditional or accessory use(s) allowed in the district be allowed as principal permitted use(s). No such uses are requested as principal permitted uses. • Interconnected uses: The uses within the planned unit development are required to be interconnected through a system of roadways and/or pathways as appropriate. The proposed residential uses within the gated portion of the development are interconnected through a system of private streets and pathways. Pathways are proposed for interconnectivity to the conventional homes outside the gated development at the southwest corner of the site and to the future development area to the north; however,vehicular interconnectivity isn't proposed with those areas. • Building clusters: Buildings shall be clustered to preserve scenic or environmentally sensitive areas in the natural state, or to consolidate small open spaces into larger,more usable areas for common use and enjoyment. A large central common open space area is provided with amenities and pathways throughout the development connecting to segments of the City's multi-use pathway system. Several smaller common areas are also proposed. Private open space: In addition to the common open space and site amenity requirements as set forth in chapter 3, "regulations applying to all districts",of this title,a minimum of 80 square feet of private,usable open space shall be provided for each residential unit. This requirement can be satisfied through porches,patios, decks, and enclosed yards. Landscaping, entryway and other accessways do not count toward this requirement. Compliance with this standard is required. Residential use standards: • Multi-family:No multi-family uses are proposed. • Housing types: A variety of housing types shall be included within a single planned development, including attached units (townhouses, duplexes), detached units (patio homes), single-family and multi-family units,regardless of the district classification of the site,provided that the overall density limit of the district is maintained. City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis A mix of housing types are proposed consisting of single-family detached and attached units with alley and front-loaded and single-story and 2-story options. • Density bonus:Not applicable Infill planned developments: Not applicable In approving the PUD,the Council may prescribe appropriate conditions,additional conditions,bonds,and safeguards in conformity with the UDC that: 1. Minimize adverse impact of the use on other property. 2. Control the sequence and timing of the use. 3. Control the duration of the use. 4. Assure that the use and the property in which the use is located is maintained properly. 5. Designate the exact location and nature of the use and the property development. 6. Require the provision for on-site or off-site public facilities or services. 7. Require more restrictive standards than those generally required in this title. 8. Require mitigation of adverse impacts of the proposed development upon service delivery by any political subdivision, including school districts,which provides services within the city. The Commission and Council should determine if the proposed development plan meets the objectives of the PUD noted above or if changes should be required to the plan to more closely align with the objectives and standards as well as with the development guidelines in the Comprehensive Plan for mixed use and MU-C development areas.A possible re-design for the northeast corner of the development area (i.e. MU-C designated area) might include public streets with a public access off S. Locust Grove Rd. and to the north for future interconnectivity with an internal local street connection to the gated portion of the development, and reorientation of the residential lots to be more integrated with the future commercial uses in the MU-C area to the north. D. Design Standards Analysis 1. Structure and Site Design Standards (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-19): The proposed single-family attached dwellings are required to comply with the residential design standards listed in the Architectural Standards Manual. Single-family detached dwellings are exempt from these standards. 2. Qualified Open Space&Amenities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3G): 51.5 Based on 51.5-acres of land in the preliminary plat, a minimum of 15%(or 7.73-acres) qualified open space is required to be provided with development that meets the quality standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3A.2 and the standards for qualified open space listed in UDC 11-3G-3B. The Applicant proposes a total of 9.75-acres(or 18.94%)qualified open space consisting of several open grassy areas exceeding 5,000 square feet in area; linear open space; 50% of the street buffer along S. Locust Grove Rd., an arterial street; 100% of the street buffer along E. Via Roberto St.,a collector street; a protective buffer dedicated for active access along the Rawson Canal; and parkways along local residential streets as shown on the open space exhibit in Section VII.I. When counting buffers along collector and arterial streets,the buffers are required to comply with the enhanced buffer requirements in UDC 11-3G-3B.3.Parkways along local City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis residential streets are required to meet the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3B.4 when counted toward open space; calculations should be included on the landscape plan for the required number of trees within parkways.Protective buffers along open waterways are required to be a minimum of 10-feet between the pathway and the waterway; in order to count this area as qualified open space,the area between the pathway and waterway needs to be widened to 10-feet.If any stormwater detention facilities are proposed,they're required to comply with the standards in UDC 11-3G-3B.S when counted toward open space. A minimum of 10 amenity points are required to be provided based on the area of the development(i.e. 51.5-acres). Site amenities totaling 22 points(pts.)are proposed from the Qualify of Life and Recreation Activity categories as shown on the exhibit in Section VII.J as follows: • Quality of Life: Clubhouse greater than 5,000 square feet in size(6 pts.) • Recreation Activity Area: o Sports courts,paved—(2)pickleball courts(4 pts. each); sports courts,unpaved— (2)bocce ball courts(2 pts. each); 1,5600 Per UDC 11-3G-4D.5,the sports courts are required to include benches for seating. o Multi-use pathways: A 1,560+/- foot long section of the multi-use pathway is proposed along the Rawson Canal(2 pts.)Note:Multi-use pathways are required to be a minimum of 10 feet in width per UDC 11-3A-8—the pathway along the Rawson Canal should be widened from 8 to 10 feet;the micro path connections to the multi-use pathway don't qualify. o Pedestrian circulation system aligned with a linear open space: A total of �5942,429+/-linear feet of pathways are proposed within the development(2 pts.) The proposed common open space and site amenities meet and exceed UDC standards for such. Landscaping is required to be provided in common open space areas in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-5B and maintained in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-5C. The proposed development is consistent with Comprehensive Plan Policy#2.02.00,which states,Plan for safe, attractive, and well-maintained neighborhoods that have ample open space, and generous amenities that provide varied lifestyle choices. 3. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B): Landscape buffers along streets A 25-foot wide street buffer is required along S. Locust Grove Rd.. an arterial street, and a 20-foot wide street buffer is required along E. Via Roberto St., a collector street, landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C and the enhanced buffer requirements required for qualified open space listed in UDC 11-3G-3B.3. Street buffers are proposed in excess of the minimum width standards that include 3-foot tall berms. Landscaping is required within parkways in accord with the standards in UDC 11-3A- 17E, 11-3B-7C and 11-3G-3B.4. The landscape plan submitted with the final plat application(s) should comply with the aforementioned standards. City of Meridian I Department Report 111. Staff Analysis Tree preservation There are a few existing trees on the property along the Rawson Canal;include mitigation calculations on the landscape plan in accord with the standards in UDC 11-313-1OC.5, as applicable. Storm integration Stormwater integration is required in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B- 11 C. A Geotechnical Investigation report was submitted with this application and is included in the project file. Pathway landscaping Landscaping is required within minimum 5-foot-wide landscape strips along each side of all pathways in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C.A minimum of one (1)tree is required per 100 linear feet of pathway with shrubs, lawn or other vetitive groundcover along pathways; shrubs should be included in the planter strips/common areas along with vegetative groundcover. 4. Parking (UDC 11-3C): Off-street parking is required to be provided for each dwelling based on the number of bedrooms per unit in accord with the standards for single-family detached and attached dwellings in UDC Table 11-3C-6. 5. Building Elevations (Comp Plan,Architectural Standards Manual): Several conceptual building elevations were submitted for single-story and 2-story detached and attached(aka paired) single-family residential homes,included in Section VIIX below. A variety of materials are proposed including vertical and horizontal lap siding,board and batten siding, fenestration with stone/brick veneer accents in a variety of colors and design elements/features with varying roof profiles and wall modulation that demonstrate the high quality of development proposed. Because the rear and/or sides of homes facing S. Locust Grove Rd. and E. Via Roberto St. will be highly visible,those elevations 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 streets; single-story homes are exempt from this requirement. All single-family attached structures are subject to the residential design standards in the Architectural Standards Manual(ASM). Staff is of the opinion the proposed conceptual building elevations are in accord with Comprehensive Plan Policy#5.01.02L: "Support beautiful and high-quality development that reinforces neighborhood character and sustainability. 6. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7): All fencing should comply with the standards listed in UDC I I-3A-7A. The landscape plan depicts a mix of 6-foot tall cedar fence and 5-foot tall clear vision metal fence. The developer is responsible for constructing fences abutting pathways and common open space lots to distinguish common from private areas; fencing should be depicted on the landscape plan accordingly. City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis 7. Parkways (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-17): Parkways shall be constructed in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-17E. Eight- foot-wide parkways are proposed as required. E. Transportation Analysis A Traffic Impact Study(TIS)was not required by ACHD for this development. Per the ACHD report,this development is estimated to generate 1,065 vehicle trips per day,79 vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour. The proposed development meets ACHD policies and level of service planning thresholds. Public transit is not available to this site. The following are ACHD's Planned Improvements for the area: Capital Improvements Plan(GIP)l Intograted Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP); Amity Road is scheduled in the IFYP to be widened to planes from SH-69(Meridian Road) to Locust Grove Road with a design year and construction year yet to be determined_ The intersection of Amity Road and Locust Grove Road is scheduled in the IFYP to be constructed as a multi-lane roundabout with 2-lanes on the north leg, 2-lanes on the south,4- lanes east, and 4-lanes on the west leg with a design year of 2023-2024, a right-of-way year of 2029-2030,and a construction year yet to be determined_ • Amity Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 5-lanes from Locust Grove Read to Eagle Road between 2031 and 2035. + Locust Grove Road is listed in the CIP to be widened t0 3-lanes from Amity Road to Victory Road between 2036 and 2040. • Locust Grave Road is listed in the GIP to be widened to 3-lanes from Lake Hazel Road to Amity Road between 2036 and 2040. ACHD is requiring Via Roberto St. to be redesigned to include the use of passive design elements (traffic calming). 1. Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4): One private street access is proposed via S. Locust Grove Rd., an arterial street; and one private street and one public street access is proposed via E.Via Roberto St.,a collector street.A gated stub street is proposed to the north,which will connect to a fixture collector street.A public stub street is proposed to the west in the un-gated portion of the development for future extension and interconnectivity. Future collector streets are depicted on ACHD's Master Street Map on the property to the north of the proposed subdivision. The concept plan included in the Applicant's narrative and phasing plan doesn't accurately depict the location of the extension of S.Apex Ave. from E. Lake Hazel Rd. on the property to the north and doesn't depict the extension of the collector to the east in alignment with E. Tower St. and therefore, isn't approved. Staff recommends as a provision of the development agreement that these collector streets, or a portion thereof as applicable,are included in a future subdivision of the property to the north. Said collector streets should align with S.Apex Ave.on the north side of E.Lake Hazel Rd. and E.Tower St.on the east side of S.Locust Grove Rd. The eoneept plan should 2. Multiuse Pathways (UDC 11-3A-5): A pedestrian connectivity plan is included below in Section VII.O showing proposed pathways within the development. A minimum 10-foot-wide multi-use pathway is required along the Rawson Canal and E. Via Roberto Ln. in accord with the Pathways Master Plan. The proposed 8-foot-wide pathway along the canal should be widened to 10-feet and Staff recommends it be constructed in City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis its entirety with the second phase of development—the phasing plan should be revised accordingly prior to the City Council hearing. Staff recommends the pathway is extended to the north boundary through the common area for pedestrian interconnectivity with the future mixed-use development.The pathway should be designed and constructed consistent with the guidelines contained in Chapter 3 of the Pathways Master Plan. A revised pedestrian eonneetivity plan should be submitted pr-io-r to the City Couneil hearing that ineor-por-ates these ehanges. A 14-foot-wide public use easement is required for the multi-use pathway along the Rawson Canal on Lots 88 and 276,Block 1 outside of the irrigation easement unless permission is specifically obtained from the governing irrigation district; include the recorded instrument number of the easement on the plat.If the pathway along E.Via Roberto St.isn't located entirely within the right-of-way, a public use easement will also be required for that pathway. 3. Pathways (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-8): Internal pathways are proposed through common open space areas as depicted on the landscape plan. The pathways should comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-8. 4. Sidewalks (UDC 11-3A-17): Sidewalks are required with development in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A- 17. Detached 5-foot-wide sidewalks are proposed along all internal private and public streets. A 10-foot-wide detached sidewalk is proposed along E.Via Roberto St.; a 10-foot-wide detached sidewalk should also be provided along S.Locust Grove Rd. as requested by the Parks' Dept.—the landscape plan and pedestrian connectivity plan should be revised accordingly.Additionally,for pedestrian safety and safe access to schools, Staff recommends the sidewalks along Locust Grove and Via Roberts are constructed in their entirety with the first phase of development; the phasing plan should be revised accordingly prior to the City Council hearing. 5. Private Streets (UDC 11-3F-4): Private streets serving single-family developments may be permitted at the discretion of the decision-making body in cases where the project qualifies as a planned unit development and where compliance with public safety and access requirements can be demonstrated. Private streets are required to comply with the standards in UDC 11-3F-4. Private streets are proposed for access to the single-family dwellings(i.e. Carriage Lane and Paired Cadence)in the gated portion of the development. The UDC (11-3F-4B.4b)restricts gated developments to no more than 100 dwelling units; a greater number of units may be approved with a PUD. As allowed with a PUD,the Applicant requests a total of 212 dwelling units are allowed within the gated portion of the development. The proposed gates shall not prohibit pedestrian and bicycle access to and through the development. Access to the gates are required to be provided for emergency vehicles as determined and approved by the Fire Dept. and Public Works Dept. To allow sufficient vehicle stacking and turn-around distance,the gate shall be located a minimum of fifty(50) feet back from the ultimate edge of right-of-way to the connecting public street and include a dedicated paved vehicle turnaround area. There is 190-feet between the entrance and the gate,which will allow approximately 10 cars to stack,based on 19' for each car, if needed without impacting Locust Grove Rd. The private streets should be constructed on a single platted lot that provides access to all properties served by such private streets. Private streets are required to connect to a local or collector street; connection to an arterial street is prohibited unless otherwise allowed by the City of Meridian I Department Report 111. Staff Analysis decision-making body as part of a concurrent hearing level application and approved by the transportation authority. Two(2)of the proposed private street connections are to collector streets(E.Via Roberto St. &future street to the north) and one(1) is to an arterial street(i.e. S. Locust Grove Rd.). ACHD is in support of the connection to Locust Grove if approved by the City. Approval from City Council is needed for the private street connection(E. Bingley Ln.)to an arterial street(S.Locust Grove Rd.). All private streets will have parking on one(1) side of the street. The Fire Marshall has determined the proposed private streets have sufficient maneuvering area for emergency vehicles. UDC 11-3F-4B.7 states, "The overall street network within the surrounding area shall allow for properties to connect at regular intervals in order to promote connected neighborhoods and traffic flow within the mile section."The proposed private streets prohibit neighborhood connectivity,especially within the mixed use designated area. Private streets are required to be constructed in accord with the roadway and storm drainage standards of the transportation authority or as approved by the City of Meridian based on plans submitted by a certified engineer.Twenty-six(26+)foot wide private streets are proposed,which comply with the street width standard. All drive aisles are required to be posted as fire lanes with no parking allowed; the curb is also required to be painted red,unless parking is allowed on one or both sides of the street per UDC 11-3F-4C.2. Upon review and approval by the Director subject to any applicable conditions of approval and the regulations of Chapter 5,the applicant shall have two(2)years to complete the tasks listed in UDC 11-3F-3B.Proof of such shall be submitted to the Planning division within that time period. 6. Subdivision Regulations (UDC 11-6): Common driveways Common driveways are required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-6C-3D. Six(6) common driveways are proposed off private streets within the development. The UDC(11-3F-4B.6) doesn't allow common driveways off a private street unless the street section allows for parking on at least one side of the street or the development has designated adequate guest parking dispersed throughout, as determined by the Director. All street sections allow parking on one side of the street. A total of 34 parking spaces are provided around the central common area where the clubhouse is located that could be used for guest parking,which the Director has determined is adequate. UDC 11-6C-3D.1 states that in no case shall more than three(3)dwelling units be located on one(1)side of the common driveway. There are four(4)lots proposed on one side of the driveway on Lots 260-263.One of these lots should be removed to comply with the standard. The Applicant submitted a request for alternative compliance to UDC 11-6C-3D.1 to allow four(4)lots (i.e. Lots 260-263, Block 1) on one(1) side o the common driveway due to constraints associated with the Rawson Canal and the provision of additional open space in that area. Common driveway exhibits are included below in Section VII.H. Staff recommends the following r-eAsions to the exhibits prior-to the City Couneil hear-ing: NOTE: Staff added these as conditions in section IV.below. • A 20-foot wide area shall be depicted on the lots at the end of the common driveways across the front of the lots for a turnaround area with a 20-foot City of Meridian I Department Report 111. Staff Analysis setback from that area to the face of garage and 10-foot setback to living area; • The exhibit showing Lot 24,Block 1 shall depict a minimum 12-foot rear setback across the entire width of the lot; and • The note stating an adjaeent lot ,onsible for-installing and maintaining landseape and irrigation the Peo-mmon areas adjacent to the eommon driveway shall be removed the develop foF i� • inelude the small triangle areas between the eommon dr-iveways and adjaeent building lots in the adjaeent building lots; revise the plat aecor-dingly.Provide a 28 foot inside and 48 foot outside turning radius in uEE9r�r a=:rrth UDC 11�-v 6C c A note should be included on the final plat that grants a perpetual ingress/egress easement over lots where common driveways are proposed for access to the lots served by the common driveways. The note should include a requirement for maintenance of a paved surface capable of supporting fire vehicles and equipment in accord with UDC 11-6C-3D.8. Alleys Alleys are required to comply with the standards in UDC 11-6C-3B.5. The proposed 20- foot-wide alley street sections depicted on the plat comply with these standards. A turning radius exhibit was submitted that demonstrates the entrance to the alleys from the private streets provide a minimum 28-foot inside and 48-foot outside turning radius as required by the Fire Dept.Wayfinding address signage should be provided at the private street for homes accessed via alleys that don't have frontage on a named street(i.e.Lots 96,97,99-103,Block 1 and Lots 224-231,Block 1). Block face Block faces are limited to 750 feet in length in residential districts; if a pedestrian connection is provided,the block face can extend up to 1,000 feet in length. Council may approve a block face up to 1,200 feet in length where block design is constrained by certain site conditions that include a large waterway and/or a large irrigation facility. In no case shall a block face exceed 1,200 feet unless waived by City Council.Where appropriate and as set forth in UDC 11-6C-3F.3,traffic calming may be required for blocks in excess of 1,000 feet. Approximately 1,070 feet of the 1,500 foot face of Block 1 abuts the Rawson Canal, the remainder abuts another block south of the canal. City Council approval of the block face is required; otherwise,the block face should be revised to comply with the standard.The other block faces within the development comply with the block face standards. If Council approves the proposed block face, Staff recommends Council require passive design elements(not speed humps,valley gutters, stop signs or cross drains)to slow traffic for safety purposes. F. Services Analysis See Service Accessibility Report in Section VII.B below. 1. Waterways (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-6): All waterways, except natural waterways,are required to be piped unless used as a water amenity or linear open space, in which case they may be left open as set forth in UDC I I-3A- 6. City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis The Rawson Canal lies along the west boundary of the site within an 80-foot wide U.S. Bureau of Reclamation easement,40-feet each side of centerline,per the Boise Project Board of Control's letter and as depicted on the plat. The canal is proposed to remain open as linear open space with a segment of the multi-use pathway system alongside. The Boise Project Board of Control is contracted to operate and maintain this canal and prohibits encroachments of any kind within the easement, including landscaping,pathways,fencing,etc.,only gravel is allowed. The Watkins Drain bisects this site north/south and is being relocated along the Rawson Canal and will either be piped or remain open per the preliminary engineering plans; the easement should be depicted on the plat. 2. Pressurized Irrigation(UDC 11-3A-15): Underground pressurized irrigation water is required to be provided in each development as set forth in UDC 11-3A-15. 3. Storm Drainage (UDC 11-3A-18): An adequate storm drainage system is required in accord with the adopted standards, specifications and ordinances; design and construction shall follow Best Management Practice as adopted by the City per UDC 11-3A-18. 4. Utilities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-21): All utilities for the proposed development are required to be installed in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-21. Water and sewer service is available at the site. The project is consistent with the Water and Wastewater Master Plan/Facility Plan. Each phase of development will need to be modeled to verify minimum fire flow pressure is maintained. See Public Works comments/conditions for more information. IV.

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 V111. 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. City of Meridian I Department Report VIII.
