02-08
We have reviewed the aforementioned applications and now offer the following comments, as
conditions of approval. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or
deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council:
APPLICATION SUMMARIES
The Applicant, Pinnacle Engineers, has requested approval of a preliminary plat made up of nineteen
(19) new residential lots and two (2) other lots in a proposed R-15 zone, in addition to a request for a
Conditional Use Permit to allow town-homes in a proposed R-15 zone and a rezone request for the
land to be rezoned from L-O to R-15. The applicant intends to re-develop the land within the proposed
subdivision from it's current state of vacant c ommercially p latted lots, t o an attached single f amily
home and town-home subdivision.
The development applications for the Conditional Use Permit and the preliminary plat were submitted
by the applicant in time for the January Commission meetings and upon review of the applications the
Planning and Zoning staff determined that an additional re-zone application would be required of the
applicant. The noticing for the CUP and plat had already taken place when the re-zone application was
submitted, and in an effort to keep the applications together the re-zone application has been placed on
the first meeting in February. In an effort to avoid any confusion that this may cause, the report is
being written to incorporate all three applications.
The proposed development is being proposed as a senior community with residents typically 55 years
of age and older. The proposed townhouses and attached single family dwellings aze all single story

structures and will include a two caz gazage for each unit. The northeastern most townhouse units will
take access off a shazed driveway. The applicant has requested that the reaz setbacks adjacent to the
common azeas be reduced from 15 feet to 12 feet, street frontage for lots sharing a common driveway
be reduced from 10 feet to 8 feet and to allow 6 homes to shaze a common drive rather than the
maximum of four homes. The subdivision includes two walking paths that provide access to
landscaped common lots on either side of the subdivision; the proposed paths and open space are the
two required amenities for the Planned Development. The gross density of the subdivision is 5.19 units
per acre.
Water and sewer mains are located in the road, and commercial services have been installed to each of
the existing lots. The right of way has already been improved to its full width and is further improved
with attached sidewalks on both sides of the street.
In May of 2000 the Meridian City Council approved a variance to the requirement to install a
pressurized irrigation system within Scottsdale Subdivision.
In 2 002 t he C ity C ouncil d enied a n application o n t he w est s ide o f t he property for four four-plex
apartments. The basis for denial was that the two story apartments were "incompatible land uses" with
the single story single family residential homes to the west.
LOCATION & SURROUNDING USES
The subject property is located within the Scottsdale Subdivision. The property is generally located on
W. Alden Drive and S.W. 8`h street, south of W. Franklin Rd. and west of S.W. 7s' Avenue.
The following uses surround the subject property:
North - Dreamland Daycaze, zoned L-O
South -Single-family residential, zoned R-4
East -Multi-family residential, zoned R-8
West -Single-family residential, zoned R-4
OWNER OF RECORD
Wolfe Commercial Enterprises, LLC is the owner of record for the lots within the proposed
subdivision and they have submitted an affidavit of legal interest to allow Pinnacle Engineers to submit
the applications for this development on their behalf.
STANDARDS FOR ZONING AMENDMENT
The C ommission a nd C ouncil s hall r eview the particular f acts and c ircumstances o f e ach p roposed
zoning amendment in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the
following questions about the proposed zoning amendment (11-15-11):
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan
and, if not, has there been an application for a Comprehensive plan amendment;
PP-02-029; CUP-02-045; RZ-02-??? Scottsdale Villas.PP.CUP.RZ
Mayor and Council
January 7, 2003
Page 3
Staff finds that the adopted Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map delineates the subject
property as "Office". The requested R-15 zone appears to be in conflict with the land use
designation, however the L-O zone in the City's zoning ordinance states that "The L-O zone is
designed to act as a buffer between other more intense non-residential uses and high density
residential uses and is thus a transitional use" (MCC11-2-2), furthermore the Comprehensive
Plan encourages residential infill to utilize existing services (pg 106).
Staff supports the requested R-15 zoning designation as it will allow the transitional uses
proposed by the developer to be approved as a conditional use. If the property were to remain
L-O the proposed uses would be prohibited and a higher intensity use could be allowed at this
location, reducing the efficacy of the land as a transitional property.
In 1998, prior to the adoption of the new Comprehensive Plan, the property was rezoned from
R-15 to L-O.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be re-zoned in the future;
Staff finds that the proposed re-zone and accompanying development plans comply with the
requested zone and Staff does not anticipate that the property will be rezoned in the future.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the fashion that
would be allowed under the new zoning;
Staff finds that the applicant has submitted detailed development plans for the property, and
that t he d evelopment w ould b e a Ilowed w ith a c onditional u se p ermit i n t he p roposed R -15
zone.
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that the area
should be rezoned;
The recent denial of the two story apartment use on the western side of the subject property
indicates that single story attached housing will be more compatible and will offer a better
transition between to the Multi-family apartments on the east and the single family units on the
west. The R-15 zone would allow for this type of transition whereas an L-O zone would
prohibit the lower intensity uses such as the one proposed by the applicant.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be
harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the
general vicinity and that such use will not change the essential character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed development is designed in a manner that will be harmonious with
and appropriate in appeazance with the existing neighborhood. The proposed uses are less
dense than the uses to the east, denser than the property to the west and less intense than the
office and daycare uses to the north.

F. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses;
Staff finds that the re-zone to R-15 should not be disturbing to existing or future neighboring
uses. Specific uses allowed (either permitted uses or conditional uses) within the R-15 zone
may be disturbing to future or existing neighbors; however staff anticipates. that the proposed
development should not be disturbing to the area. The Commission and Council should
cazefully consider all public testimony, oral and written, before malting this fmding.
G. Will b e s erved a dequately b y e ssential p ublic f acilities a nd s ervices such a s h ighways,
street, police, and fue protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or
that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed conditional use shall be able
to provide adequately any such service;
Staff finds that the proposed uses will be adequately served by all essential public services and
facilities.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and
services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community;
Staff finds that the requested uses will not create excessive additional requirements at public
costs for public facilities and services. Additionally, staff finds that the proposed rezone would
not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
I. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment, and conditions that will
be detrimental to any persons, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive
production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff finds that the proposed R-15 zoning designation of the property does not inherently allow
uses that will generate activities, processes, materials, equipment, and conditions that are
detrimental to the general welfaze of the community.
J. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as not to
create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets;
Staff fmds that the proposed R-IS zoning will not interfere with general traffic patterns on any
public streets. The re-zone from L-O to R-15 will actually decrease the generation of traffic on
the existing street.
K Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major
importance.

10. Site History
ACRD Commission approved Scottsdale Subdivision on January 13, 1999. Scottsdale Subdivision
was an 8-lot commercial subdivision on 4.29-acres. The applicant requested rezone approval from R-
15 to L-O. The site is located on the south side of Franklin Road, approximately %2 mile east of Linder
Road. This development was estimated to generate 600 additional vehicle trips per day based on the
Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation manual.
Plat Note # 15. Portions of Lots 4 and 5, Block 2 of Scottsdale Subdivision as delineated on the plat
are covered by a Storm Drainage Easement in favor of the Ada County Highway District for heavy
maintenance of drainage facilities. Said Easement shall remain free of all encroachments and
obstructions (including fences and trees) which may adversely affect drainage or operation and
maintenance of storm water facilities.
ACHD staff then reviewed a conditional use application (MCUP02-00013) for a portion of the site on
May 3, 2002 for approval to construct four multi-family units (4-plexes). The site was on the west
side SW 8`" Avenue and Alden Drive.
11. Five-Year Work Program
This location is not programmed into the District's current Five-Year Work Program (FY 03-07) for
reconstruction or any roadway improvements.
B. Findings for Consideration
Right-of-Way
District policy requires 54-feet of right-of-way on industrial/commercial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B).
This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter and a 5-foot wide
detached concrete sidewalks.
The right-of--way was dedicated with Scottsdale Subdivision; the applicant should not be required to
dedicate any additional with this application.
2. Sidewalk
District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all local streets, except those in
rural developments with net densities of one dwelling unit per acre or less (7204.4.7).
