Exhibit B.
8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
This property is designated "Low Density Residential" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Map. Low density residential areas are anticipated to contain three dwelling units or less per
acre (see Page 99 of the Comprehensive Plan). The proposed Preliminary Plat includes 16 single-
family residential building lots on 4.92 acres for a gross density of 3.25 dwelling units/acre. The
proposed density is within the anticipated density of the Comprehensive Plan for this area.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply
to the proposed development (staff analysis in italics below policy):
• Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1 -Require that development projects have
planned for the provision of all public services.
When the City established its Area of City Impact, it planned to provide City services to the
subject property. The City of Meridian plans to provide municipal services to the lands
proposed to be annexed in the following manner:
- Sanitary sewer and water service will be extended to the project at the developer's
expense.
- The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Meridian Rural Fire District.
Once annexed the lands will be under the jurisdiction of the Meridian City Fire
Department, who currently shares resource and personnel with the Meridian Rural Fire
Department.
- The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Ada County Sheriff's Office.
Once annexed, the lands will be serviced by the Meridian Police Department (MPD).
- The roadways adjacent to the subject lands are currently owned and maintained by the
Ada County Highway District (ACHD). This service will not change.
- The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian School District No. 2. This
service will not change.
- The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian Library District. This service
will not change and the Meridian Library District should suffer no revenue loss as a
result of the subject annexation.
Municipal, fee-supported; services will be provided by the Meridian Building Department,
the Meridian Public Works Department, the Meridian Water Department, the Meridian
Wastewater Department, the Meridian Planning Department, Meridian Utility Billing
Services, and Sanitary Services Company.
Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 1 -Protect existing residential properties from
incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels.
Matador Subdivision AZ-07-013 & PP-07-OI7 PAGE 6
CITY OF MERLDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 22, 2008
The applicant is proposing a residential zone. This zone is compatible with the surrounding
residential subdivisions. Staff finds that the proposed development is compatible with the
existing residential and agricultural uses that surround the property.
• Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective C, Action 4 -Require new residential development to meet
development standards regarding landscaping, signage, fences and walls, etc.
Landscaping and perimeter fencing along E. McMillan is proposed and will be provided on
the site in accordance with UDC 11-3B-1 and UDC I1-3A-7 as shown on the landscape plan
submitted with the application. The applicant has indicated several trees slated for removal
due to poor health. Prior to the removal of the existing trees, the applicant needs to contact
the City Arborist to have the existing trees surveyed to mitigate for the removal of existing
trees in accordance with UDC 11-3B-10. Signage for the subdivision should comply with
UDC 11-3D and will require separate sign permit approval.
• Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action 2 -Restrict curb cuts and access points on
collectors and arterial streets.
The applicant is proposing one public street access to E. McMillan Road, a minor arterial
roadway. No driveways or other access is proposed. Other than the public street access
shown on the plat, access to N. McMillan Road will be prohibited.
• Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective D, Action 9 -Require new residential development to provide
permanent perimeter fencing to contain construction debris on site and prevent windblown
debris from entering adjacent agricultural and other properties.
Perimeter fencing is only being proposed along the E. McMillan Road; however prior to
construction of any buildings, temporary fencing will be required around the perimeter of
this site to contain debris on site.
Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 10 - Support a variety of residential categories
(low-, medium-, and high-density single family, multi-family, townhouses, duplexes,
apartments, condominiums, etc.) for the purpose of providing the City with a range of
affordable housing opportunities.
The subject application includes a request for the R-4 medium low-density zoning
designation. The applicant is proposing single family detached homes on lots ranging from
8,049-16,875 square feet in size, which Staff believes will provide the City with a variety of
housing opportunities. Staff finds that the requested zoning designation is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan designation for this site.
• Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6 -Require street connections between subdivisions
at regular intervals to enhance connectivity and better traffic flow.
One stub street is proposed at the west and east boundary from E. Copper Ridge Street. Staff
believes that the proposed stub street connections will provide good connectivity the parcels
bordering the property, when they develop.
9. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: UDC 11-2A-2 lists single-family dwellings as principal
permitted uses in the R-4 zone.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the residential districts is to provide for a range of
Matador Subdivision AZ-07-013 & PP-07-017 PAGE 7
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 22, 2008
housing opportunities consistent with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Connection to the
City of Meridian water and sewer systems is a requirement for all residential districts.
Residential districts are distinguished by the allowable density of dwelling units per acre and
corresponding housing types that can be accommodated within the density range.
10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
ANNEXATION AND ZONING ANALYSIS: Based on the policies and goals contained in the
Comprehensive Plan, Staff believes that the requested R-4 zone is appropriate for this property.
Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of the required facts and findings for annexation.
The annexation legal description submitted with the application (prepared on September 20,
2007, by Dean W. Briggs, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate
boundary of the City of Meridian.
Elevations: The applicant submitted elevations for the subject project. Staff likes the
appearance of the conceptual elevations shown in Exhibit A. The features that staff approves of
are the gable rooflines facing the street, shutters, substantial pillars with substantial bases
accented with brck/stone, and covered porch areas. The submitted elevations would indicate
hardie plank siding or wood siding with variations in siding styles including wide plank, shake
siding and board and batten siding. The front facades are accented with stone veneer with
varying shutter designs.
The applicant should construct homes on the site that contain the above-mentioned design
features, Staff is including a Development Agreement requirement that the applicant include
these design features in future homes built in this subdivision. Building materials and colors
were not indicated with this application. Staff is generally supportive of the conceptual
elevations; however staff believes the applicant shall state building materials and colors for
the proposed single family homes.
Development Agreement: UDC 11-SB-3D2 and Idaho Code § 65-6711A provides the City the
authority to require a property owner to enter into a Development Agreement (DA) with the
City that may require some written commitment for all future uses. Staff believes that a DA is
necessary to ensure that this property develops consistent with the conditions of approval. If the
Commission or Council feels additional development agreement requirements are necessary,
staff recommends a clear outline of the commitments of the developer being required.
A Development Agreement (DA) will be required as part of the annexation of this property. Prior
to the annexation ordinance approval, a DA shall be entered into between the City of Meridian,
the property owner(s) (at the time of annexation ordinance adoption), and the developer. The
applicant shall contact the City Attorney, Bill Nary, at 888-4433 within 6 months of Council
approval to initiate this process. The DA shall include, at minimum, the following:
The developer should construct homes on the site that are in substantial compliance
with the elevations submitted with this annexation application (AZ-07-013), and on
file with the City Clerk's Office. The applicant should construct homes on the site
that contain the following design features: gable rooflines facing the street, shutters,
substantial pillars with substantial bases and front facades accented with brick/stone,
and covered porch areas. Building materials should be of quality materials including
but not limited to wood siding, hardie plank siding and/or stucco, incorporating
varying siding materials (wide plank, narrow plank, board and batten, and cedar
shingles) painted in earth tone colors.
Matador Subdivision AZ-07-013 & PP-07-017 PAGE 8
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 22, 2008
PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS: Based on the policies and goals contained in the
Comprehensive Plan and the general compliance of the proposal with the Unified Development
Code, Staff believes that this is a good location for the proposed single-family residential
development. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of facts and findings for a preliminary
plat.
Dimensional Requirements of the R-4 zone per UDC Table 11-2A-5: All proposed
lots meet the dimensional requirements of the R-4 zone for property size and street
frontage. Lot sizes range from 8,094 square feet to 16,875 square feet. All lots shall meet
the minimum setback & maximum building height requirements stated in UDC 11-2A-5
and #6h above.
Parkins Nourse Lateral: The Parkins Nourse Lateral runs along the southern property
boundary of the proposed subdivision. The applicant contacted the Settler's Irrigation
District and was informed the ditch was private. Therefore, the applicant is not
responsible to enter into a license agreement with the irrigation district. The preliminary
plat submitted with this application indicates the existing lateral is tiled. Per UDC 11-3A-
6, all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways and waterways
being used as amenities, which intersect, cross or lie within the area being subdivided
shall be covered.
Landscaping: The landscape plan submitted for this project, prepared by Beck & Baird
Landscape Architecture, labeled Sheet LP 1.0, dated 8/03/07 shall be modified as
follows:
• Per UDC 11-3B-10, the applicant shall work with the City Arborist, Elroy
Huff, on designing, adopting, and implementing a protection and mitigation
plan for the existing trees on site. Mitigation information shall be provided
on the landscape plan submitted with the final plat.
A written certificate of completion should be prepared by the landscape
architect, designer, or qualified nurseryman responsible for the landscape
plan and submitted to the Planning Department upon completion of the
landscaping prior to Certificate of Occupancy for the site. All standards of
installation should apply as listed in UDC 11-3B-14.
Submit copies of a revised landscape plan, reflecting the changes/notes
mentioned above, with the final plat application(s).
Common Areas/Open Space: The applicant has provided 0.40 acres (8.1 %) of
landscaped common open space. The site is less than five acres in size and is not subject
to the 10% minimum open space required by UDC 11-3G-3A-1. However, except for
the landscaping along McMillan Road and one common lot that is proposed to
contain storm drainage, there are no amenities on this site. Staff believes the
applicant should shorten the width of proposed lots 2 and 3, Block 3 and
recommends adding a picnic area or tot lot within the proposed development. As
mentioned earlier the total acreage being platted for the site is 4.92 acres. Staff believes
this site is close enough to 5 acres and should be comply with the 10% open space
requirement. If this change is made, staff is supportive of the amount of open space
proposed with this development. Maintenance of all common areas shall be the
responsibility of the Matador Subdivision Homeowners Association.
Drainage: A seepage bed for stormwater drainage is shown on Lot 1, Block 3. No trees
shall be planted over the seepage beds. All storm drainage facilities shall comply with the
standards listed in UDC 11-3B-11, Stormwater Integration. NOTE: Applicant shall be
Matador Subdivision AZ-07-013 & PP-07-017 PAGE 9
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JANUARY 22, 2008
aware that infiltration ponds for ACRD public streets require exposed filter sand.
This sand area does not count toward the City of Meridian's open space
requirements. Other provisions to meet vegetated open space requirements must be
made when ACRD pond designs incorporate exposed filter sand.
Proposed Streets and/or Access: One access point from E. McMillan Road is proposed
to this subdivision. Internal public streets are proposed with 36-foot wide street sections
within 50 feet ofright-of--way with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide attached concrete
sidewalk to be dedicated to ACRD. E. Copper Ridge Street will provide future
connectivity to the parcels along the western and eastern property boundaries. Except for
N. Matador Drive, access to E. McMillan Road is prohibited. Staff is supportive of the
proposed access point to the subdivision and the number of stub streets provided to
adjacent parcels for future connectivity.
Pressure Irrigation: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems
be supplied by a year-round source of water. The applicant should be required to utilize
any existing surface or well water for the primary source. If a surface or well source is
not available, asingle-point connection to the culinary water system shall be required. If
asingle-point connection is utilized, the developer will be responsible for the payment of
assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the City
Engineer. An underground, pressurized irrigation system should be installed to all
landscape areas per the approved specifications and in accordance with UDC 11-3A-15
and MCC 9-1-28.
Fencing: Perimeter fencing is only being proposed along McMillan Road as shown on
the submitted landscape plan. At the public hearing, the Applicant shall state if
fencing along the other perimeter boundaries will be constructed. All perimeter
fencing must be installed prior to issuance of building permits. If permanent perimeter
fencing is not installed around the entire site, temporary construction fencing should be
installed prior to issuance of building permits for the subdivision. Fencing should taper
down to a 3 foot maximum within 20 feet of all rights-of--way. All fencing shall be
installed in accordance with UDC 11-3A-7.
b. Staff Recommendation: Based on the above analysis, Staff finds that applications AZ-07-013 and
PP-07-017 substantially conform to the Comprehensive Plan policies and UDC standards. Staff
recommends approval of AZ-07-013 and PP-07-017 for Matador Subdivision, as presented in the
Staff Report for the hearing date of October 18, 2007, subject to the Findings of Fact listed in
Exhibit D and subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit B.

Exhibit C
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR TH£ HEARING DATE OF MARCH 1, 2007
D. Required Findings from Unified Development Code
1. Annexation Findings:
Upon recommendation from the Commission, the Council shall make a full investigation
and shall, at the public hearing, review the application. In order to grant an annexation
and/or rezone, the Council shall make the following findings:
1. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive
plan;
The applicant is proposing to zone all of the subject property to R-4. The City Council
finds that the proposed zoning map amendment complies with the applicable provisions
of the Comprehensive Plan. Please see Comprehensive Plan Policies and Goals, Section
8, of this Staff Report.
2. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed
district, specifically the purpose statement;
The City Council finds that single-family residential detached dwellings are allowed
within the requested zoning district of R-4 as principal permitted uses. The
accompanying plat demonstrates the development will provide for a range of housing
opportunities with the variety of lot sizes proposed.
3. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
and welfare;
The City Council finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not be detrimental to
the public health, safety, or welfare. Staff recommends that the Corrunission and Council
rely on any oral or written testimony that may be provided when determining this finding.
4. The map amendment shall not result in an adverse impact upon the delivery of
services by any political subdivision providing public services within the City
including, but not limited to, school districts; and,
The City Council finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not result in any
adverse impact upon delivery of services by any political subdivision providing services
to this site, as conditioned in the staff report.
5. The annexation is in the best of interest of the City (iTDC 11-SB-3.E).
The City Council finds that all essential services will be provided by the developer to the
subject property and will not require unreasonable expenditure of public funds. The
applicant is proposing to develop the land in general compliance with the City's
Comprehensive Plan, and this is a logical expansion of the City limits. In accordance with
the findings listed above, Commission finds that Annexation and Zoning of this property
to R-4 would be in the best interest of the City.
2. Preliminary Plat Findings:
In consideration of a preliminary plat, combined preliminary and final plat, or short plat,
the decision-making body shall make the following findings:
1. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;
The City Council finds that the proposed plat is in substantial compliance with the
adopted Comprehensive Plan. Staff supports the proposed density and proposed plat

layout, with recommended changes, as they comply with the provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan. Please see Comprehensive Plan Policies and Goals, Section 8, of
the Staff Report.
2. Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to
accommodate the proposed development;
The City Council finds that public services can be made available to accommodate the
proposed development. (See Exhibit B of the Staff Report for more details from public
service providers.)
3. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the
City's capital improvement program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, and utilities for the development at their
own cost, the City Council finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of
capital improvement funds.
4. There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments from the public
service providers (i.e., Police, Fire, ACHD, etc.) to determine this finding. (See Exhibit
B, Agency Comments and Conditions, for more detail.)
5. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general
welfare; and
The City Council is not aware of any health, safety, or environmental problems
associated with the development of this subdivision that should be brought to the Council
or Commission's attention. ACRD considers road safety issues in their analysis. Staff
recommends that the Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may
be presented to determine whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health,
safety or environmental problems of which staff is unaware.
6. The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features.
The City Council is unaware of any natural, scenic, or historic features on this site.
Therefore, the Council fmds that the proposed development wil'1 not result in the
destruction, loss or damage of any natural, scenic or historic feature(s) of major
importance. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council reference any public
testimony that may be presented to determine whether or not the proposed development
may destroy or damage a natural or scenic feature(s) of major importance of which staff
is unaware.
