Mr. Chairman, after considering all staff, applicant, and public testimony, I move to approve file number CUP 08-019 as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of August 21st, 2008, with no modification. O'Brien: Second. Newton-Huckabay: Second. Moe: It's been moved and seconded to approve CUP 08-019. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? That motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Rohm: May I amend my motion to include the -- direct staff to prepare the appropriate Findings document to be considered at the next Planning and Zoning hearing September 4, 2008. Baird: Mr. Chair, Members of the Commission, that was implied with the motion. I think staff will be doing that. Hood: Consider it done. Rohm: Good. Thank you. Appreciate that. Item 9: Public Hearing: AZ 08-011 Request for Annexation and Zoning of 2.953 acres from the R1 to the R-8 zoning district for Sgroi by Nunzio Sgroi - 4405 E. Ustick Road: Moe: Thank you, Mr. Baird. At this time I would like to open the public hearing AZ 08-011. That's Sgroi. And ask the staff to report. Hood: Thank you, Mr. Chair, Members of the Commission. I have not met the applicant, so I will, too, pronounce it Sgroi. Maybe they can correct us as we move along here, as they do their presentation. I think I got it right. So, the project site is located at 4405 East Ustick Road. So, on the south side of Ustick, approximately three-quarters of a mile east of Eagle Road. Red Feather Estates is to the south. This is on the far edge of our proposed city limits, so our area of impact boundary with Boise city ends right here. So, this is right in the comer of our area of impact on Ustick Road. It's, again, 3.16 acres currently zoned R-1 in Ada County. Boise city is on two sides. City of Meridian is on one side. And, then, Ada County -- this parcel with the existing single family home to the west is still zoned RUT in Ada County. I mentioned Red Feather Subdivision, zoned R- Meridian Planning 8~ Zoning August 21, 2008 Page 30 of 32 4. That is a City of Meridian subdivision. You have the elementary school and the city of Boise and, then, some single family homes in the city of Boise across Ustick. The application is annexation of the entire 3.16 acres to the R-8 medium density residential district. There are no other development applications proposed at this time. -The applicant did submit this conceptual site plan that you see on the board this evening. Staff has analyzed that, as well as -- the front elevation that was also submitted. That's detailed in the staff report. Probably one of the biggest changes that we have is that staff is not supportive of this driveway access to Ustick Road. I'll go back to the aerial real quick. You can see that there is quite a bit of frontage on this local street within Red Feather that is provided to the property. So, staff is recommending that access not be taken from Ustick Road, but from the other side. So, if you can envision this site plan doing a 180 degrees and the driveway coming in off of here. Now, there is going to have to be some slight modifications to that as well, but, essentially, that's how it could develop. We haven't conditioned it that it has to develop like this site plan that's proposed, but we could sure envision it developing with that -- that major change. We didn't analyze landscaping. This is an entryway corridor into the City of Meridian, obviously, so when we do see that development application in the future, we will make sure that landscaping is done in accordance with code in effect at the time. The request that R-8 zone is consistent with the Comp Plan future land use map designation of medium density residential. Just a couple of -- or sample DA provisions that are in the staff report. Public Works does want to see sewer and water stubbed 4315 East Ustick. I believe that's the parcel in between here. I can't see why we would stub to Boise city. So, I'm going to deduct that it's that property there. And that the home that's there, if, in fact, it's still there within the next six months, does need to be removed from their well and be hooked up to city sewer and water services. The assisted living facility or residential care facility, as we refer to them in our code, they do require Conditional Use Permit in the proposed R-8 zone. So, the applicant most likely, if that's how it develops, will be back. We were somewhat concerned that -- that if it didn't develop with assisted living that it could just be a traditional single family detached or even attached subdivision and wasn't consistent with the vision that was shown on the concept plan. So, we do have a DA provision that says, basically, you will develop an assisted living care facility here though the CUP processes and if you don't want to do that, that's fine, but you need to come back and get the City Council to sign off on whatever you want to do. So, that was a long winded way to explain one of the DA provisions. And, then, I talked about restricting direct lot access to Ustick Road and consistent with our entry corridor design standards. I won't spend too much time on the elevation. It is just a front elevation. Sonya did analyze it somewhat in there. I don't believe she tied them to this elevation. Again, we are on an entry corridor. It's going to need to meet those design review guidelines anyways. So, whatever we see in the future, I think this probably generally conforms with those provisions. I didn't see any flag reds when I read through the staff report, but I don't she it needs to look exactly like that either. So, we have not received any written concerns from anyone, any of the neighbors or anyone else in the general public. Staff is Meridian Planning i~ Zoning August 21, 2008 Page 31 of 32 recommending approval of the requested R-8 and annexation and zoning as presented in the staff report. I will stand for any questions you may have. Moe: Any questions of staff? Rohm: Just a point of clarification. Do you say that if, in fact, they do go with an assisted living, that there would be a CUP required at that time? Hood: Mr. Chair, Commissioner Rohm, yeah, that is true. They still need to -- there weren't enough details with this application to analyze everything that's required through for the Conditional Use Permit process. So, we do want to see a site plan that's pretty tight and has everything with their access taking off that internal street. So, yes, that is still a DA provision. Rohm: That's all I need. Thank you. Moe: Okay. Any other questions? No? Would the applicant like to come forward, please. Whitworth: Ladies and gentlemen. My name is Tom Whitworth. Address is 953 North Roosevelt. We agree with everything that staff has commented on. So, any questions? Rohm: No, sir. Moe: That made it pretty easy. Well, I don't see anybody in the audience that signed up, so if -- I guess no one else wants to talk. So, Commission, any comments? Or does anybody want to do anything? Rohm: Yeah. I think, number one, this property should be brought into the City of Meridian and it ties everything together and with the staff report noting that would be access to sewer stubbed to the property to the west, kind of ties that whole thing together and as long as the applicant realizes that they have got to tie into city water within six months, then, I think we are good to go. Moe: And I heard the applicant say they are in approval of all comments. So, therefore, can I get a motion? Rohm: Mr. Chairman, I move that we close the public hearing on AZ 08-011. Marshall: Second. Moe: It's been moved and seconded to close the public hearing on AZ-08-011. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? That motion carries. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
