Schedule ofUses: Unified Development Code (UDC) 11-2A-21ists multi-family developments as a conditional use in the R-40 zoning district. Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3-27) apply to multi-farruly developments; please see Section 10, Analysis below for more information. UDC Table 11-2B-21ists several uses that are principal permitted uses, conditional uses, and prohibited uses in the proposed C-C zoning district. Among the principal permitted uses are animal care facilities; indoor/outdoor arts, entertainment or recreation facilities; building material, garden equipment and supplies; churches, group daycares, education institutions, financial institutions, flex space, fuel sales facility, healthcare or social services, information industry, Laundromat, mortuary, nursery or urban farm, parks, personal or professional service, public/quasi-public use, restaurant, retail store, minor vehicle repair, vehicle washing facility, vertical integrated residential project, etc. b. Purpose Statement of the Proposed Districts: Residential Districts: Per UDC 11-2A-1, the purpose of the residential districts is to provide for a range of 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. Commercial Districts: Per UDC 11-2B-1, the purpose of the commercial districts is to provide for the retail and service needs of the community in accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Four districts are designated which differ in the size and scale of commercial structures accommodated in the district, the scale and mix of allowed commercial uses, and the location of the district in proximity to streets and highways. 10.

Staff is lieweve~ supportive of the requested R-40 zoning designation for the eastern portion of the property proposed for multi-family residential use for the following reasons: The Comprehensive Plan future land use designation for this property of MU- R allows for residential densities of 3 to 40 units per acre. The applicant is proposing 204 residential units within a proposed R-40 zoning district, which allows for the property to develop within the desired densities stated in the Comprehensive Plan for this area. Further, Staff believes that amulti-family development would be appropriate and would contribute to the variety of uses in this area. For these reasons, Staff is recommending of approval of the annexation and zoning of 10.56 acres to R-40 (see legal description & exhibit map for R-40 zone in Exhibit C.2). Please see Exhibit D for a detailed analysis of the required facts and findings for an annexation & zoning request. The legal description submitted with the application (stamped on June 14, 2006 by Darin Holzhey, PLS) is accurate and meets the requirements of the City of Meridian and Idaho State Tax Commission. UDC 11-SB-3D2 provides the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council the authority to require a property owner to enter into a Development Agreement (DA) with the City of Meridian that may require some written commitment for all future uses. Because of the nature of the development and the high density zoning district proposed by the applicant, Staff believes that a DA is necessary to ensure that the site develops in a manor that is consistent with said plans. Staff has included a list of recommended DA provision below.

Several amenities are proposed on the site in compliance with UDC standards (see amenities analysis below for more information). The property proposed to be zoned C-C is included on the site plan with a conceptual plan of how the property may develop in the future; however, no development of the 1.5 acre C-C property is proposed at this time. If the property is annexed, a backage road should be constructed along the east boundary of the commercial district, in compliance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3H-4B3. Further, across-access/ingress-egress easement should be provided to the properties to the north and south of the site. No development of this site should occur until the backage road is connected to River Valley Road.

Mitigation: The site plan depicts 9 existing trees, consisting of 120 caliper inches, on the site that are proposed to be removed upon development of the property. Per UDC 11-3B-10, mitigation is required for all existing trees 4-inch caliper or greater removed form the site with equal replacement of the total calipers lost on site up to an amount of 100% replacement Staff recommends that the applicant comply with the mitigation standards listed in UDC 11- 3B-IOC. Multi-Use Pathway: The Parks Department has submitted the following analysis on the multi-use pathway required on this site: The Meridian Pathways Master Plan depicts a future public pathway along the north side of the South Slough (aka Finch Lateral or Finch Creek), which crosses the canal near the location of the future Pedestrian Bridge depicted on the site plan, continues south through the subject property and connects to the intersection of River Valley Road and Eagle Road. Regency at River Valley (revised) PAGE 18 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF MAY 20, 2008 With the recent annexation of the Meridian Town Center property, we expect to have a future pathway built in the proposed 60-acre park along the south side of the South Slough, east of Alley's Way/Records Drive. This will provide for another future pathway connection point. To connect with the future pathway in 60-acre park site, we recommend constructing the sidewalk along the north side of River Valley Street as a 10- foot, detached multi-use pathway. A northlsouth public pathway connection through the project, D~*~••~~-~° ~~~°~~•~ "'^N, is also required between River Valley Street and the pedestrian bridge. The applicant has agreed to make the connection, but has requested that this connection be allowed to be S feet wide (on the proposed sidewalks) instead of the standard 10 feet wide due to potential impacts to the project. a a ~• . a • rrr,~ > > ~ ~ Q. Staff supports this request provided the applicant maintains the narrower pathway, sign it for the public, and construct a 10-foot north-south connection along Ally's Way. (Please see conditions of approval in Exhibit B.) Ditches, Laterals, and Canals: The South Slough runs along the northern boundary of this site. The Downey Sublateral runs along the southern boundary of the site. Per UDC 11-3A-6 all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of any natural waterway, that intersect, cross or lie within the area being subdivided shall be covered. The South Slough is a natural waterway and will remain open; the Downey Lateral shall be covered. Per the Comprehensive Plan, the South Slough should be improved and protected with development of this property. Note: The structures depicted on the site plan along the southern boundary encroach approximately 12 feet within Nampa Meridian Irrigation District's easement for the Downey Sublateral. Staff spoke with Steve Earl, Mason & Stanfield, regarding this issue and he stated that the lateral was going to be relocated 25 feet to the south. If the lateral is relocated, the structures would no longer be within the easement. At the time of CZC application, the easement should have already been relocated, OR the structures shall be relocated outside of the easement. The applicant should submit a letter from NMID prior to the next Commission action on this project documenting that they are amenable to relocating the lateral and easement. , • . If NMID will not allow landscaping (i a trees) within their easement for the Downey Sublateral and if there is not sufrcient room outside of the easement for the street buffer, the applicant shall provide an additional 5-foot wide strip for landscapin~2 outside of the NMID easement, per UDC ll-3B-7CIb; Pressure Irrigation: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized imgation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water. The applicant should be required to use 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 a single- point connection is used, 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 imgation 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. Regency at River Valley (revised) PAGE 19 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF MAY 20, 2008 Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC): Staff is requesting as a DA provision, that a CZC application be submitted for approval of all parking and common areas on the site prior to submittal of CZC's for structures on the site. Additionally, a Certificate of Zoning Compliance is required prior to issuance of a building permit for any and all of the proposed multi-family and/or commercial structures within this development. All structures must substantially comply with the building elevations submitted with this application (see Exhibit A), the architectural standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-27E for multi-family developments, and conditions of approval and DA provisions listed in Exhibit B of this report. Additionally, any future structure(s) proposed on the commercial portion of the development is required to comply with the design standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19C for structures located along entryway corridors. NOTE: A CZC application may include multiple/all multi family structures within the development. Private Streets: The applicant is not proposing private streets within this development. For addressing purposes, the Fire Department and Public Works is requesting that private streets be provided within this development. The applicant shall submit a Private Street application to the City prior to the City Council meeting. Per iTDC 11-3F- 4, all private streets shall be designed and constructed to the following standards: A. Design standards: 1. Easement: The private street shall be constructed on a perpetual ingress/egress easement or a single platted lot that provides access to all applicable properties. 2. Connection point: Where the point of connection of the private street is to a public street, the private street shall be approved by the Transportation Authority. 3. Emergency vehicle: The private street shall provide sufficient maneuvering area for emergency vehicles as determined and approved by the Meridian Fire Department. 4. Gates: Gates or other obstacles shall not be allowed. B. Construction standards: 1. For conversion of an existing facility to a private street at the direction of the Fire Marshalh a. All drive aisles shall be posted as fire lanes with no parking allowed. b. If a curb exists next to the drive aisle, it shall be painted red. 2. For all other private streets: a. Roadway and storm drainage: The private street shall be constructed in accord with the roadway and storm drainage standards of the Transportation Authority or as approved by the City of Meridian based on plans submitted by a certified engineer. b. Street width: The private street shall be constructed within the easement and shall have a travel lane width of twenty-four (24) feet or twenty-.six (26) feet as determined by the Fire Marshal relative to the height and size of the proposed structures that adjoin the private street. Due to the height of the proposed structures, the Fire Department is requiring a travel lane of 26 feet. ~~r~- The site elan submitted with the private street application reflects this requirement. Regency at River Valley (revised) PAGE 20 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF MAY 20, 2008 c. Sidewalks: Afive-foot (5') attached sidewalk or four-foot (4') detached sidewalk shall be provided on one side of the street in commercial districts. This requirement may be waived if the applicant can demonstrate that an alternative pedestrian path exists. Five foot wide detached sidewalks are proposed in front of the structures adjacent to parking. d. Fire lanes: All drive aisles shall be posted as fire lanes with no parking allowed. In addition, if a curb exists next to the drive aisle, it shall be painted red. ~ V o ![7 A D n4 nn,I \. -rt1 ^ i t~ t~ T~~~ ~~ -t . ~F nl~ .1..,......,L.:l.:.~ 2-&p p -iC-3i~ « ««~ t,. ~t.,t e e iig,& sTe~c~ e 1,;,.>,....,..~ «„ ., 1T.,...., * o.,,„, e2 e - ,,..,,...., ~ .,, ~u o GG/1~'.,..lo D.,.,.7 , « t:l ~ ..1.,. f:....e .....7r D:..er ~ [l.,lle..

Variance (VAR-08-002): The applicant is requesting approval of a Variance to UDC Table 11-3C-6 for a reduction in the number of parking spaces required for multi-family dwellings in covered carports or garages. UDC 11-3C-6 requires multi-family dwellings with 1 Regency at River Valley (revised) PAGE 21 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE. OF MAY 20, 2008 bedroom to have 2 parking spaces per unit, 1 in a covered carport or garage. The site plan shows 48 -bedroom units, which requires 48 covered spaces and 48 uncovered spaces. Multi-family dwellings with more than 1 bedroom are required to have 2 parking spaces per unit in a covered carport or garage. The site plan shows 156 units with more than 1 bedroom, which requires 312 covered spaces. A total of 360 covered spaces and 48 uncovered spaces are required on the site (408 total spaces required). The applicant has provided ~ 299 covered spaces and ~3 I09 uncovered space (408 total spaces proposed). A variance is requested for a reduction in the number of covered parking spaces required from 360 spaces to X9-5 299 spaces. The reason for the variance is that an 80-foot wide Nampa Meridian Irrigation District (N1VIID) easement exists along the entire northern boundary of the site where the South Slough is located. NMID does not allow permanent structures to be built within their easement. In order to grant a variance, the City Council is required to make the following findings (per UDC 11-SB-4E): a. The variance shall not grant a right or special privilege that is not otherwise allowed in the district; b. The variance relieves an undue hardship because of characteristics of the site; and c. The variance shall not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare. Staff has reviewed these findings and while Staff does not believe that granting the requested variance would be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare, Staff does find that granting the subject variance would allow a right or special privilege that is not otherwise allowed in the district for multi-family developments. Further, Staff does not believe an undue hardship exists because of characteristics of the site in which the City should grant a variance. Staff believes that a residential structure(s) could be removed and the site redesigned in order to have additional room for the amount of UDC required covered parking spaces. For these reasons, Staff recommends that the requested variance for a reduction in the number of covered parking spaces required be denied and the required parking ' be provided on the site per UDC requirements. (Please see Exhibit D for a detailed analysis of the required facts and findings for a variance request.) 5 Private Street (PS-08-004)• The Applicant submitted a Private Street application on 4/18/08 requesting approval of private streets within the development, per requirement of Staff for addressing purposes The applicant is proposing 26-foot wide streets within the site, per requirement of the Fire Department.
