RE: H-2025-0025 /Parcel# S1236121060, S1236121080, & S1236121090/ Storyrock Subdivision
Sonya,
The City of Meridian has requested feedback regarding the proposed annexation with zoning
of R-15 (Medium High Density Residential) and L-O (Limited Office) within the proposed
Storyrock Subdivision,which will consist of 321 residential buildable lots,two (2) commercial
lots, and 44 common lots on 75-acres located south of Amity Road and west of SH-69 /
Meridian Road on Parcel Nos. S 1236121060, S 1236121080, & S 1236121090, within
Meridian's Area of 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; and as the proposed
gross density of the project is 4.27 dwelling units per acre, the application is compatible with
the comprehensive plan.
As the proposal for two (2) commercial lots, one being an existing business and the second lot
being in the northeast corner of the site,which abuts the Future Land Use Map of the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan, as adopted by Ada County, designation of Mixed-Use Community,which
is primarily intended for a variety of community-serving uses, 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 as the proposal is to dedicate over 21%of the total site as open space with
amenities that include a tot lot,two(2)pickleball courts, a one-half(1/2)basketball court,three
(3) picnic areas, and pathways throughout 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 to connect
to the pathway system.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and please feel free to contact me with any
questions.
