February 15, 2005 City of Meridian Anna Borchers Canning, Planning Director 660 E. Watertower Ln., Suite 202 Meridian, Idaho 83642 Re: Westborough Annexation/Zone Application Dear Anna, Please review the following statements included as part of our Annexation/Zone application pertaining to items 5. thru 7. on the application checklist. 5. Statement describing the characteristics which make zoning amendment desirable. - We are requesting a base zoning ofR-8 with a one step up to R- 15 for the multi-family residential area. With the frontage to State Highway 20/26 and Jericho Lane on the ~ mile, single family residential has its limitations for desirability. Multi family residential when planned with livable spaces facing inward with appropriate buffers to the sides can be more appropriate. Multi-family residential will allow for much higher common open space in the range of37%. Professional Office space is planned for the northwest corner of the site thru the Conditional Use process. City Sewer service has been extended to the site with the approval/consent of the city and the developer in a previous agreement outlining the developers desired commercial use. 6. Statement outlining the necessity or desirability of development pertaining to the zoning amendment and harmony with adjacent development. - R15 zoning is harmonious with the adjacent church site on the east and with the planned school site to the south. Buffer space has been provided adjacent to the one single family home on the south west comer ofthe property. Higher density residential development contiguous to the future 'Mixed Use Community' designation along Chinden is desirable from the standpoint of having more families closer to the community centers offering support to the businesses providing goods and services in the area. This promotes pedestrian oriented design which reduces/shortens vehicle trips and provides for a more vibrant community commercial area. Interconnectivity is provided with sidewalks to and from the school site, professional office site, and Jericho frontage which will then connect to the neighborhood center in the future. !'!7 FE LalidscaPI' Archilerllire .

P 208.939.4041 F 208.939.4445 . www.thciandgroupinc.cottl 7. Statement of how the proposed zoning amendment relates to the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan - cite policy numbers. - Chapter VII figure VII-2 Future Land Use Map desinates an area between Meridian Road and Locust Grove Road as a Mixed Use - Community - Neighborhood Center. This map states that symbols represent generalized locations and are considered conceptual and are allowed to "float" on the map. Figure VII-3 - Neighborhood Center Concept Diagram. shows the conceptual layout of commercial areas. high density residential. and medium density residential radiating outwardly from the center of the section. With the existing location of retail nurseries. Zarnzows. and the Catholic Church to the west of this site, as well as not having a roadway on the 12 section. it would be very difficult to apply this concept on the exact 12 section line. When moved slightly to the east towards Jericho. the commercial office uses and high density residential area on our plan fit perfectly with the neighborhood center concept. "All centers are intended to be developed around the half~mile point between two section line roads. The half circle shapes shown on the Land Use Map are condceptual only and intednded to identify a maximum walking distance from the neighborhood center of If4 mile. The residential density in thise areas may not be below eight (8) dwelling units per acre.""Where feasible. multi-family residential uses will be encourae:ed. especiallv for projects with the potential to serve as emplovment destination centers and when the project is adiacent to State Hi2hways 20-26.55. or 69". Residents can access neighborhood commercial services without being forced onto arterial streets. This is our iustification for our request for the allowable one step up in zoning from R8 to R15. Chapter VI, Goal 1 , Objective B: Action 1. Actively involve Joint School District No.2 in subdivision site selection with developer before plat processing. A school site is included in this annexation/zone application. Affidavit of legal interest from the school district included in submittal. Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A: Action 5. Require pedestrian access connectors in all new development to link subdivisions together to promote neighborhood connectivity as part of a community pathway system. Pathways are provided to the adjacent school site, throughout the residential area with connections to the professional office space and to Jericho public sidewalk. Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A: Action 12. Develop methods, such as cross-access agreements, frontage roads, to reduce the number of existing access points onto arterial streets. No access points are planned to S.H. 20/26 with access to both the residential and office areas from Jericho. Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B: Action 1. Consider development applications that apply the neighborhood center concept. With our project location contiguous to a future mixed use community neighborhood center, professional office on the comer of Chin den and Jericho will fit well with more intense commercial uses across Jericho to the west. Multi family residential then fits well adjacent to the offices from the standpoint of having more families closer to the community centers offering support to the businesses providing goods and services in the area. This promotes pedestrian oriented design which reduces/shortens vehicle trips and provides for a more vibrant mixed use neighborhood commercial area. Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B: Action 5. Locate new community commercial areas on arterials or collectors near residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining residential areas. Our site is located on an arterial (Hwy 20/26) and collector (Jericho-as soon as it is extended southward). Providing for professional office only (not retail) will provide for a more compatible use to the single family lot to the south. Hours of operation will typically be 8am to 6pm for professional office space, usually clearing out prior to home owners returning. Buffer space has been provided with dense landscape between the lots. Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B: Action 7. Identify transitional zones to buffer commercial and residential uses, to allow uses such as offices and other low intensity uses. Professional offices are planned as the transition from more intense commercial uses across Jericho and as a buffer from State Highway 20/26. Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A: Action 1. Require that development projects have planned for the provisions of all public services. As part of a previous agreement between the developer and the city, sewer and water are currently being extended to this site from the north down Jericho. Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C: Action 6. Require pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions together and promote neighborhood connectivity. Interior pathways link the residential areas to the professional office area which are also linked to the school site and Jericho sidewalks for interconnected access to adjacent land. Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C: Action 7. Provide for non~exclusive residential zoning that allows for low impact neighborhood commercial areas to develop in residential districts. With professional office uses proposed that will typically draw from a 1 to 2 mile radius, along with the multi-family housing, and proper buffering, a low impact neighborhood commercial area is achieved. Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D: Action 5. Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation corridor. This project provides for a 35' landscape buffer area along S.H. 20/26 and a 20' landscape buffer along Jericho to provide for an aesthetic corridor. Thank you for your consideration of our Annexation/Zone request. Sincerely, Phil Hull, Principal The Land Group, Inc.
