Request for Rezone of 3. 66-Acres of land from the L-O (Limited Office) zone to R- 15 (Medium High Density Residential District), By Pinnacle Engineers (File No RZ- 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 commercially p latted lots, to an attached single family 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 are all single story Mayor and Council January 7, 2003 Page 2 structures and will include a two car garage for each unit. The northeastern most townhouse units will take access off a shared driveway. The applicant has requested that the rear setbacks adjacent to the common areas be reduced from 15 feet to 12 feet, street frontage for lots sharing a common driveway be reduced from 10 feet to S feet and to allow 6 homes to share 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 2002 the City Council denied an application on the west side 0 fthe 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. Sth street, south ofW. Franklin Rd. and west of S.W. ih Avenue. The following uses surround the subject property: North - Dreamland Daycare, zoned L-O South - Single-family residential, zoned R-4 East - Multi-family residential, zoned R-S 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 Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the following standards and shall fmd 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-??? Scotlsdale Villas.PP.CUP.RZ Mayor and Council January 7, 2003 Page 3 Staff fmds 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" (MCCll-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 the development would be allowed with a conditional use permit in the proposed 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 appearance 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, PP-02-029; CUP-02-045; RZ-02-??? Scottsdale Villas.PP.CUP.RZ Mayor and Council January 7, 2003 Page 4 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 carefully consider all public testimony, oral and written, before making this finding. G. Will b e served adequately bye ssential public facilities and services such ash ighways, street, police, and fire 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 fmds 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 welfare 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 finds that the proposed R-15 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. Staffdoes not find that any natural or scenic feature will be lost, damaged or destroyed by approval of this rezone. L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City; PP-02-029; CUF-02-045; RZ-02-??? Scottsdale Villas.PP.CUP.RZ Mayor and Council January 7, 2003 Page 5 Staff finds that the proposed rezone would be in the best interest of the City by a llowing a property 0 wner tom ake improvements tot he property that would 0 therwise not b e allowed without the re-zone.

The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district are operating over capacity. Approval of Scottsdale Villas Subdivision will have a significant impact on school enrollments at Peregrine Elementary. Meridian Middle. and Meridian High School. We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house five (5) elementary aged children, five (5) middle school aged children, and four (4) senior high aged students. Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation. Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it may be necessary to bus students to other schools across the district. School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508: The Meridian School District is currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact on the district's capacity.

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 commercially platted lots, to an attached single family 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 are all single story Mayor and Council January 7,2003 Page 2 structures and will include a two car garage for each unit. The northeastern most townhouse units will take access off a shared driveway. The applicant has requested that the rear setbacks adjacent to the common areas be reduced from 15 feet to 12 feet, street frontage for lots sharing a common driveway be reduced from 10 feet to g feet and to allow 6 homes to share 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 2002 the City Council denied a n application 0 n the west side 0 f t he property for four f our-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. gth street, south ofW. Franklin Rd. and west of S.W. ih Avenue. The following uses surround the subject property: North - Dreamland Daycare, zoned L-O South - Single-family residential, zoned R-4 East - Multi-family residential, zoned R-g 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 oflegal interest to allow Pinnacle Engineers to submit the applications for this development on their behalf. STANDARDS FOR ZONING AMENDMENT The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed 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" (MCCll-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-IS 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 the development would be allowed with a conditional use permit in the proposed 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 fmds that the proposed development is designed in a manner that will be harmonious with and appropriate in appearance 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. PP-02-029; CUP-02-045; RZ-02-??? Scottsdale Villas.PP.CUP.RZ Mayor and Council January 7,2003 Page 4 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 carefully consider all public testimony, oral and written, before making this finding. G. Will b e served adequately bye ssential public facilities and services such ash ighways, street:, police, and fire 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 welfare 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 finds that the proposed R-15 zoning will not interfere with general traffic patterns on any public streets. The re-zone from 1-0 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. Staff does not find that any natural or scenic feature will b e lost, damaged 0 r destroyed by approval of this rezone. L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City; PP-02-029; CUP-02-045; RZ-02-??? Scottsdale Villas.PP.CUP.RZ Mayor and Council January 7, 2003 Page 5 Staff fmds that the proposed rezone would be in the best interest of the City by allowing a property 0 wner tom ake improvements tot he property that would 0 therwise not b e allowed without the re-zone.

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 commercially platted lots, to an attached single family 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 fe-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 are all single story Mayor and Council January 7, 2003 Page 2 structures and will include a two car garage for each unit. The northeastern most townhouse units will take access off a shared driveway. The applicant has requested that the rear setbacks adjacent to the common areas 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 share 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 2002 the City Council denied an application on the west side 0 fthe 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. Sth street, south ofW. Franklin Rd. and west of S.W. 7th Avenue. The following uses surround the subject property: North - Dreamland Daycare, zoned 1-0 South - Single-family residential, zoned R-4 East - Multi-family residential, zoned R-S 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.

The re-zone from 1-0 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.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that storm water be pre-treated through a grassy swale prior to discharge to the subsurface to prevent impact to ground water and surface water quality. The engineers and architects involved with the design of this project should obtain current best management practices for storm water disposal and design a storm water management system that is preventing groundwater and surface water degradation. Manuals that could be used for guidance are: State of Idaho Catalog of Storm water Best Management Practices For Idaho Cities and Counties.

Request for Rezone of3,66-Acres ofland from theL-Q (Limited Office) zone to R- 15 (Medium High Density Residential District), By Pinnacle Engineers (File No RZ- 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 commercially platted lots, to an attached single family 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. Tbe proposed townhouses and attached single family dwellings are all single story Mayor and Council January 7, 2003 Page 2 structures and will include a two car garage for each unit. The northeastern most townhouse units will take access off a shared driveway. The applicant has requested that the rear setbacks adjacent to the common areas be reduced from 15 feet to 12 feet, street frontage for lots sharing a common driveway be reduced from 10 feet to S feet and to allow 6 homes to share 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 2002 the City Council denied an application on the west side of the 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. Sth street, south ofW. Franklin Rd. and west of S.W. ih Avenue. The following uses surround the subject property: North - Dreamland Daycare, zoned L-O South - Single-family residential, zoned R-4 East - Multi-family residential, zoned R-S 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 Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed 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 fmds 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" (MCCIl-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 1.0. 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 fmds that the applicant has submitted detailed development plans for the property, and that the development would be allowed with a conditional use permit in the proposed 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 ofthe same area; Staff fmds that the proposed development is designed in a manner that will be harmonious with and appropriate in appearance 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.

Request for Rezone of 3.66-Acres of land from the L-O (Limited Office) zone to R- 15 (Medium High Density Residential District), By Pinnacle Engineers (File No RZ- 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 commercially platted lots, to an attached single family 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 are all single story Mayor and Council January 7, 2003 Page 2 structures and will include a two car garage for each unit. The northeastern most townhouse units will take access off a shared driveway. The applicant has requested that the rear setbacks adjacent to the common areas be reduced from 15 feet to 12 feet, street frontage for lots sharing a common driveway be reduced from 10 feet to S feet and to allow 6 homes to share 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 2002 the City Council denied an application on the west side of the 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. Sth street, south ofW. Franklin Rd. and west of S.W. ih Avenue. The following uses surround the subject property: North - Dreamland Daycare, zoned L-O South - Single-family residential, zoned R-4 East - Multi-family residential, zoned R-S 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 Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances 0 feach proposed 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-{)2-o45; 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" (MCCll-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 1-0 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 iutended 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 the development would b e allowed with a conditional use permit in the proposed 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 aud 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 appearance 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. PP-02'029; CUP-02-045; RZ-02-??? Scottsdale Vi11as.PP.CUP.RZ Mayor and Council January 7,2003 Page 4 F. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or fnture 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 carefully consider all public testimony, oral and written, before making this finding. G. Will b e served adequately bye ssential public f acUities and services such ash ighways, street, police, and fire 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 fmds 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 fmds 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 welfare 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 finds that the proposed R-15 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. Staff does not find that any natural or scenic feature will b e lost, damaged 0 r destroyed b y approval of this rezone. L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City; PP-02-029; CUP-02-o45; RZ-02-??? Scottsdale Villas.PP.CUP.RZ Mayor and Council January 7, 2003 Page 5 Staff finds that the proposed rezone would be in the best interest of the City by a llowing a property 0 wner tom ake improvements tot he property that would 0 therwise not b e allowed without the re-zone.

The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district are operating over capacity. Approval of Scottsdale Villas Subdivision will have a significant impact on school enrollments at Peregrine Elementary. Meridian Middle. and Meridian High School. We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house five (5) elementary aged children, five (5) middle school aged children, and four (4) senior high aged students. Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation, Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it may be necessary to bus students to other schools across the district. School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact on the district's capacity, If you have any questions, please contact me at 888-6701.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that storm water be pre-treated through a grassy swale prior to discharge to the subsurface to prevent impact to ground water and surface water quality. The engineers and architects involved with the design of this project should obtain current best management practices for storm water disposal and design a storm water management system that is preventing groundwater and surface water degradation. Manuals that could be used for guidance are: State of Idaho Catalog of Storm water Best Management Practices For Idaho Cities and Counties.
