SUBJECT: Oak Creek
• AZ-08-004
Annexation and Zoning of 318.74 acres from Ada County RUT to
R-4 (Medium-low Density Residential) (69.72 acres), R-8 (Medium Density
Residential) (192.20 acres) and R-15 (Medium-high Density Residential)
(56.82) by Norpac, LLC
• PP-08-003
Preliminary Plat on 30.72 acres into 1391ots including 118 residential lots and
21 common lots in a proposed R-8 zoning district
NOTE: This project has been continued from the June S, 2008 Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting. The reason for the long continuance was so the applicant could have the time to address
staff's concerns regarding a detailed concept plan for the entire 318 acres, the serviceability of the
proposed development and the Highway 16 alignment study. Further, the applicant has provided
Public Works with the pertinent information for the construcdon of a temporary lift station to
accommodate sewer concerns for the additional acreage that is located outside of the current Black
Cat sewer shed The applicant also wanted an opportunity to address concerns raised in the staff
report and has proposed DA provisions that should be tied to this AZ request, if the site is approved
for annexation. Staff has updated the staff report and is now recommending approval, not denim
Staff has provided additional analysis of the revised concept plan, added conditions of approval for
the preliminary plat and inserted the applicable DA provisions below
1. SiJNIlVIARY DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The applicant, Norpac, LLC, has applied for Annexation and Zoning (AZ) approval of 318.74 acres
of land from the RUT zoning district in Ada County to the R-4 (Medium-low Density Residential)
(69.72 acres), R-8 (Medium Density Residential) (192.20 acres) and R-15 (Medium-high
Residential) (56.82 acres) zoning districts. Concurrently, the applicant has submitted for Preliminary
Plat (PP) approval of 139 lots consisting of 118 residential lots and 21 common lots on 30.72 acres.
NOTE: The 30 acre plat is included in the 318 acres the applicant is requesting for annexation.
At this time the applicant is only proposing to develop (plat) a 30 acre pazcel located near the
southwest corner of McMillan Road and Black Cat Road because city services aze available to that
parcel with the expansion of the Black Cat trunk. The remainder of the property proposed for
annexation only (288 acres) is expected to develop in the future, as there are no city services available
for the subject site until the Can-Ada lift station is constructed. (NOTE: Public Works has master
planned sewer services in the area however; the funding and timing for the construction of the
Can Ada lift station has not been determined)
Currently, TTD is conducting the Highway 16 alignment study and associated environmental review
to determine the location and right-of way acquisition for the future construction of Highway 16.
Portions of this site may be needed for right-of--way for the Highway 16 expansion. Further
Oak Creek AZ PP PAGE 1
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 7, 2008
development of 288 acres will be subject to the availability of city services and the completion of the
Highway 16 alignment study. (NOTE: The alignment study is expected to be concluded by the end
of 2009 and the public hearing to act on the draft environmental review is scheduled for February
2009.)
Due to the timing constraints of not having sewer service available and not knowing where or how
much right-of--way will be needed for Highway 16, the applicant is only proposing a conceptual plan
for how the site is expected to develop in the future. The subject site is expected to develop as a
mixed use residential master planned community. The applicant is proposing three different
neighborhood plans and zoning districts to provide communities for all income ranges. Each
community proposes a range of product types (single family detached, town homes, ally loaded,
single family attached and multi-family) and densities associated with them. On the concept plan, the
traditional single family neighborhood offers 215 home sites and consists of 69 acres, zoned R-4; the
Mixed Density Single Family Neighborhood offers 1,000 home sites on 192.22 acres zoned R-8; and
the Mixed Density area consists of 56.82 acres, zoned R-15. The project and conceptual plan will be
further discussed in Section 10.
The subject site is located generally east of N. McDermott Road, west of N. Black Cat Road, south of
Chinden Boulevard and north of Ustick Road including the southeast and northeast corners of W.
McMillan Road and N. McDermott Road; and near the southwest corner of W. McMillan Road and
N. Black Cat Road, in Sections 28 and 33, T.4N., R.1W. The subject property is currently within the
City's Impact Area.

7. COMMENTS MEETING
On May 16, 2008 a joint agency and department meeting was held with service providers in this azea.
The agencies and departments present include: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Public Works
Department, Meridian Police Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. Staff has included
comments, conditions and recommended actions in Exhibit B below.
8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
The subject site is designated "Medium Density Residential" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Map. Medium density residential areas are anticipated to contain between three and eight
dwelling units per acre (see Page 99 of the Comprehensive Plan.). The overall density of the azea
proposed for annexation is anticipated to have a gross density of 5 dwelling units to the acre; the
subject preliminary plat has a gross density of 3.84 dwellings per acre. At this time, the applicant is
only proposing to develop approximately 30 acres which is the only azea that can be serviced with
city water and sewer at this time. The remaining 288 acres of the azea proposed for annexation is not
proposed for development as city services are unavailable. Further, the Meridian Comprehensive Plan
specifically states to limit annexations and new development within the McDermott Road azea until a
plan is approved that specifies the SH 16 right-of--way locations and associated right-of--way
acquisition needs.
The applicant is proposing to construct a temporary lift station that will provide sewer services
to the remaining 288 acres that are not in the first preliminary plat phase (plans have been
reviewed by Public Works to determine if the proposed temporary lift station can adequately
service the remaining 288 acres.) In addition, the applicant is proposing to not develop/plat
within 700 feet east of McDermott Road until the alignment study is complete for Highway 16.
Oak Creek AZ PP PAGE 6
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 7, 2008
Through the DA process, the applicant and staff believes that the Comprehensive Plan policies
regarding the lack of services provided to the site and a portion of the property being adjacent
to McDermott Road have been addressed/mitigated.
In addition to the above analysis, Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies apply to this
application (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.
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 can only be reasonably extended to the 30 acre parcel
proposed for platting at the developer's expense. A vast majority of the site is not currently
readily available with city services. The applicant is proposing to construct an interim lift
station to service the reaming 288 acres. Sizing requirements will be determined by Public
Works.
- 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 (ACFID). 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 IV, Goal I, Objective A, Action 6 -Permit new residential, commercial and industrial
developments only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval
and development is contiguous to the City.
The 30 acre parcel proposed for development is not contiguous to the current city limits. The
only point of contiguity is through the 288 acres that is proposed for annexation but not proposed
for development at this time to due lack of service availability. At this time services can only be
provided to the 30 acre parcel the applicant is proposing to develop. The remaining 288 acres do
not and will not have city services available until the Can Ada lift station is constructed. (NOTE:
Public Works has master planned sewer services in the area, however the funding and timing
for the construction of the Can Ada lift station has not been determined)
• Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 8 -Develop alternative modes of transportation through
pedestrian improvements, bicycle lanes, off-street pathways, and transit oriented development as
appropriate.
The applicant has submitted a master pathways plan that has made provisions for pedestrian and
multi-use pathway throughout the 318 acres proposed for annexation. The master pathway plan
is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and Master Pathways
Plan.
Oak Creek AZ PP PAGE 7
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 7, 2008
• Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6 -Require street connections between subdivisions at
regulaz intervals to enhance connectivity and better traffic flow.
The submitted preliminary plat proposes four stub streets to adjacent properties. All of the stub
streets extend to parcels currently zoned RUT in Ada County, which staff anticipates will re-
develop in the future. Staff believes that the applicant has done a nice job of providing for future
connectivity to the west, south, and east of the proposed development. On the submitted concept
plan the applicant has made provisions for future vehicular and pedestrian connectivity as well.
Said street layout and pedestrian connectivity is subject to the DA recommended for the site.
• Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 13 -Review new development for appropriate
opportunities to connect to local roads and collectors in adjacent developments.
The surrounding area is primarily agricultural land with rural uses and does notprovide
opportunities for connection with collectors and local streets. On the revised concept plan, the
applicant has provided a more detailed collector and local street layout then previous reviewed.
The conceptual layout appears to provide good connectivity to McMillan Road as well as
internally within the development. The applicant has also provided stub streets to the
surroundingproperties forfuture connectivity. The applicant is not proposing connectivity to
McDermott Road until the HYYY 16 Alignment Study is completed. The proposed street layout will
be subject to the DA provisions recommended for this site.
• Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 5 -Require pedestrian access connectors in all new
development to link subdivisions together to promote neighborhood connectivity as part of a
community pathway system.
As mentioned earlier; the applicant has made provisions for pedestrian and multi-use pathways
within the annexation area. Future phases are expected to comply with the Master Pathways
plan. However, a majority of the uses surrounding the subject parcels are agricultural uses and
provide no connectivity. Staff believes that the applicant has done a good job providing internal
connectivity for the proposed property.
• Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective D, Action 8 -Require new urban density subdivisions which abut
or aze proximal to existing low density residential land uses to provide landscaped screening or
transitional densities with larger, more comparable lot sizes to buffer the interface between urban
level densities and rural residential densities.
The proposed plat and landscape plan depict landscaped common areas along McMillan Road
and Black Cat Road. The applicant is proposing R-8 zoning which has a higher density than the
surrounding area that is still under the County's jurisdiction. If the subject plat is approved it
would create a higher density subdivision surrounded by RUTAda County parcels.
• Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 1 -Protect existing residential properties from
incompatible land use development on adjacent pazcels.
The applicant is proposing a residential zone. Staff finds that, at this time, the existing rural
single family residential properties in the near vicinity are currently not compatible with the
density the applicant is proposing with the submitted preliminary plat however; the proposed
zoning districts are compatible with the land use designation of the property.
• Chapter VII, Goal N, Objective C, Action 3 -Require usable open space to be incorporated into
new residential subdivision plats.
Oak Creek AZ PP PAGE 8
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 7, 2008.
The applicant is proposing 3.06 acres (or 10.03% of the preliminary plat site) as open space,
including a tot lot, sitting benches, picnic area and pocketpark with a pathway. The applicant is
also proposing four additional pocket parks and central neighborhood park with amenities for
future residents to use for recreation. The proposed open space will be subject to the DA
provisions recommended for this 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 applicant is proposing medium-low density, medium density, and medium-high density
housing within this area. Types of housing are single family detached homes, town homes, patio
homes, multi family and alley loaded product which should provide a range of housing
opportunities in this area.
Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on any verbal or written testimony that may
be provided at the public hearing when determining if the applicant's zoning and development
request is appropriate for this property.
9. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
a. Schedule of Uses: Unified Development Code (UDC) 11-2-1 lists single-family detached homes
as permitted uses in the R-4, R-8 and R-15 zoning districts. Single family detached, attached,
duplexes and townhomes are principally permitted in the R-8 and R-15 zoning districts. Multi-
family developments are permitted in the R-15 with CUP approval.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: R-4, R-8 and R-15 Zoning Districts: 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.
10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
1. AZ Application: The Applicant is requesting approval to annex and zone 318.74 acres from
the RUT zoning district in Ada County to the R-4, R-8 and R-15 zoning districts in the City.
All of the property is currently designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
for Medium Density Residential. The applicant is proposing a mix of residential uses which
generally complies with the density requirements of the Comprehensive Plan. The purpose
statement of the Residential Districts states connection to the City of Meridian water and
sewer systems is a requirement for all residential districts. The applicant's annexation path is
through parcel # 50428143240 which connects with Keego Springs Subdivision on the east
side of Black Road and north of the Volterra Subdivision. The applicant is requesting the
annexation of the overall area to develop a 30 acre portion of the property located on the
southwest corner of McMillan Road and Black Cat Road. The remainder of the property
proposed for annexation (288 acres) is expected to develop in the future as there are no city
services available for the subject site until the Can-Ada lift station is constructed. Because
there are no definite plans for the construction of the Can-Ada lift station, the applicant
is proposing to construct an interim lift station to provide sewer services for the
remaining acreage. NOTE: Staff still has concerns with the annexation of this property.
Oak Creek AZ PP PAGE 9
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 7, 2008
If the subject AZ request is approved, it opens Pandora's Box and creates an
annexation path for other properties to request annexation that are outside of the Black
Cat Sewer Shed and cannot be provided city services. Staff is confident that the
applicant's proposal can work, but we do not want to set a precedent for other potential
developers in this area to construct lift stations to sewer out of the master planned shed.
There is a very real possibility that the City will see similar requests if this project is
approved.
The annexation legal description submitted with the application (stamped on January 29,
2008 by Gregory Carter, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate
boundary of the City of Meridian.
Development Agreement: UDC 11-SB-3.D.2 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 is developed in a fashion that is
consistent with the comprehensive plan and does not negatively impact nearby
properties. If the Commission and Council decide it is in the best interest of the City to
annex this property, a Development Agreement (DA) shall be entered into between the City
of Meridian, property owner (at the time of annexation ordinance adoption), and the
developer. The applicant shall contact the City Attorney, Bill Nary, at 898-5506 to initiate
this process. Please be advised a $303.00 fee will required to process the development
agreement. The DA shall incorporate the following, in addition to provisions the
Commission and Council deem appropriate (NOTE: This is staff's best stab at some
appropriate DA provisions, but should not be considered a comprehensive list):
The applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated with the sewer and water
service extension.
Any and all existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will
have to be removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517,
when services are available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non-
domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation.
The applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated with the required interim
lift station and pressure sewer line. The stations design and capacity shall be
coordinated with the Public Works Department; the design shall include
communication capabilities that are consistent with the City of Meridian's SCADA
system. At completion of construction, the station will be donated to the City of
Meridian who will own and maintain the lift station. The completion and acceptance
of the lift station will be at the sole discretion of the Meridian Public Works Director.
No dischazge from the station will be allowed until all plant upgrades aze complete to
the City of Meridian Waste Water Treatment Plant. The approval to except dischazge
Oak Creek AZ PP PAGE 10
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 7, 2008
must be approved by the Meridian Public Works Director. Any potential upgrades to
the interim lift station from other surrounding parcels will be reviewed by the
Meridian Public Works Department. Approved upgrades to the purposed station will
be fully funded by the requestor, and will be subject as reimbursement fees to the
applicant.
Water service to this site is being proposed via extension of mains in N Black Cat
Road and McMillan Road. The applicant shall be responsible for the installation of
12-inch diameter water mains to and through this developments arterial frontage.
Also a 12-inch diameter connection shall be made in Black Cat Road to the north east
portion of the project prior to the start of phase six construction. Due to fire flow
requirements the applicant will need to construct a 12-inch diameter main from the
intersection of N Black Cat Road and McMillan Road heading east to the existing 12-
inch diameter main currently being installed with the Ten Mile & McMillan
intersection widening project. This connection will need to be installed before phase
six of the applicant's plan, and maybe eligible for partial reimbursement. If the 12-
inchwater main from Ten Mile & McMillan is installed by another developer prior to
phase six construction the applicant will not be responsible to participate in
construction of the required main extension.
Prior to phase five the applicant shall provide a domestic well site North of McMillan
Road to support water demand needs to the purposed subdivision and surrounding
areas. This well site will be owned and maintained by the City of Meridian. Contact
the Public Works Department for size and any alternate locations.
The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a
year-round source of water (MCC 12-13-8.3). The applicant agrees to use the City of
Meridians reuse water supply for the primary source of irrigation by entering into a
development agreement with the City of Meridian. The applicant will be required to
use Meridian's reuse water with the construction of phase three and continuing on all
future phases.
The applicant we be responsible to construct a 10 (ten) inch AWWA C900 PVC
purple reuse main with 14 gauge insulated wire that will be attached to the pipe for
locating purposes. The construction will start from the City of Meridian treatment
plant continuing northwest along the Five Mile Creek ending in the Southwest comer
of the purposed subdivision. All infrastructures on-site and off-site must be
constructed with approved purple pipe. With the required construction of this main
the applicant shall be eligible to enter into a structured reimbursement agreement
with the City of Meridian. Reimbursement agreements must comply with all
requirements of City Code 9-1-13 and 9-4-19, which includes the preliminary
agreement (which includes footage, size, and depth of reimbursable pipe). The
detailed agreement with the reimbursable amount shall be approved by City Council
prior to development plan approval.
The elevations proposed and submitted with the preliminary plat shall substantially
comply with the three building elevations submitted with this application included in
Exhibit A and approved with this application. All other conceptual elevations shall be
reviewed at the time the applicant plats any portion of the remaining 288 acres and
shall substantially comply with the conceptual elevations in Exhibit A.

Concept Plan: The applicant has submitted a concept plan for how the site may develop. The
subject site is expected to develop as a mixed use residential master planned community. The
applicant is proposing three different neighborhood plans and zoning districts to provide
communities for all income ranges. Each community proposes a range of product types
(single family detached, town homes, ally loaded, single family attached and multi-family)
and densities associated with them. The traditional single Family neighborhood offers 215
home sites and consists of 69 acres, zoned R-4; the Mixed Density Single Family
Neighborhood offers 1,000 home sites on 192.22 acres zoned R-8; and the Mixed Density
azea consists of 56.82 acres, zoned R-15.
eeneept-pl&a; Staff is supportive of the mix of residential uses proposed for the project.
The applicant has updated the concept plan to primarily reflect the proposed street
layout and access with the proposed annexation request. Staff has analyzed the stub
streets and access points associated with the 30 acre plat below. The Commission should
be advised this is a concept plan and is subject to change. Through the subject DA that
is required, staff will ensure this site will develop in a similar fashion proposed by the
applicant. The applicant has asked for flexibility with the future design of the remaining
288 acres. On the submitted concept plan, access roads are not shown to McDermott
Street because of the Alignment Study currently in process. Staff has reviewed the
submitted concept plan and believes the applicant has provided adequate stub streets to
the adjacent property owners for future connectivity. A collector street is proposed to
stub to at the mid-mile (north) which is consistent with Comprehensive Plan and ACRD
standards. In the interim, the applicant is proposing a collector street to access Black
Cat in the northeast corner of the development. This access will terminate and stub to
the adjacent parcel south (as shown on the submitted concept plan); once that parcel
Oak Creek AZ PP PAGE 13
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 7, 2008
and the northeast portion develops in the future. Staff is supportive of the conceptual
street layout proposed by the applicant and any future development (plats) should
substantially comply with this layout.
Housing Types: The applicant has included Elevations for the product type proposed with
the conceptual development. Staff has included the elevations in Exhibit A. The applicant is
proposing a variety of housing types such as Single Family Homes, Green Court Homes,
Paseo Homes, Duet Homes, Two-Unit Townhomes, Tuck-Under Townhomes, and Mansion
homes. Each product type is described as follows:
• Single Family -These are the largest and most traditional homes offered in Project.
They range in size from 1,701-4,000 square feet and include 6 different floor plans
with a minimum of 9 distinctive elevations.
• Green Court -The green court product are generally smaller homes arranged around
a common green space and functions as a social gathering space for future residents.
Home sizes range from 1,200-2,000 square feet
• Paseo -These are alley loaded products that are specifically designed for ,the
"Traditional Neighborhood" home buyer, yet still p\encourages interaction among
residents by orienting homes onto an open space corridor. This series contains 3
distinctive exterior treatments that range in size from 2,159-2,442 square feet.
• Duet -Alley loaded product attached at the garage only. Front streetscape appears as
an individual single family detached unit. Private outdoor living spaces through the
use of front or side courtyards. Home sizes range from 1,500-2,000 square feet.
• Two-Unit Townhomes -Front loaded townhomes with architecture forward to
enhance the streetscape. Home sizes range from 1,400-2,250 square feet.
• Tuck-Under Townhomes -The tuck-under Townhomes are marketed toward the
buyer who desires anon-traditional home in a traditional neighborhood. Homes range
in size from 1,500-1,750 square feet.
• Mansion -The mansion home product generally consists of three to six units
arranged in a manner to give the appearance of large estate home. Garages are
located in the rear off of an alley. The units range in size from 1,000 -1,950 square
feet. If this product is proposed with future phases of the development it should
require CUP for Multifamily development.
Future Amenities: The applicant has worked with Western Ada Recreation District to locate
a facility located on a 4.4 acre parcel near the southeast corner of W. McMillan Road and N.
McDermott Road. in addition, the applicant is proposing recreational and open space
amenities through out the 318 acre development. Conceptually, the overall proposed open
space encompasses more than 30 acres which is approximately 11 % of the project area. The
project is expected to provide and expansive pathway and park system which includes 10,295
lineal feet of multi-use pathways and 23,4471ineal feet of pedestrian pathways. The pathways
are to provide an interconnected system that will connect with the central park, neighborhood
parks, open space areas, and the Western Ada County Recreation Center proposed within the
development.
2. PP Application: The applicant is requesting Preliminary Plat approval of 118 single-family
residential building lots and 21 common lots on 30.72 acres in the proposed R-8 zoning
Oak Creek AZ PP PAGE 14
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 7, 2008
district. The applicant is proposing to construct this subdivision in 2 phases as shown on the
phasing plan attached as Exhibit A.S. Staff has reviewed the proposed preliminary plat and
found that the dimensional standards proposed substantially comply with the Unified
Development Code.
Master Pathway Plan: At this time, the applicant is only proposing to develop a 30 acre
parcel neaz the southwest corner of W. McMillan Road and N. Black Cat Road. According to
the City's Master Pathways Plan this pazcel is not identified as having a pathway designated
in the development. However, the applicant has provided pedestrian connectivity for the
future residents, on the 288 remaining acres, to use for recreation. In addition, the applicant
has submitted a master pathway plan for the remaining pazcels to show how future pedestrian
and multi-use pathways will function as future phases are proposed for development. Staff is
generally supportive of the applicant's pathway plan and believes it meets the intent of the
City's Master Pathway Plan. Staff has included a provision in the draft DA that the applicant
comply with both pathway plans.
Open Space/ Amenities: UDC 11-3G-3 requires a minimum of 10% common open space for
all developments exceeding five acres in size. The UDC also requires one additional site
amenity for each additiona120 acres of development area. The proposed site amenities aze as
follows: 1) The applicant is providing 3.06 acres of usable open space, which equals
approximately 10.03% of the total development azea. 2) A 1.4 acre pocket pazk is proposed
and includes a picnic table and structure, tot lot, sitting benches and a 5-foot pathway which
provides connectivity with the sidewalks in the proposed development. The applicant's open
space and amenities plan complies with the UDC.
Landscaping: The landscape plan prepazed by Jensen Belts Associates, on December 12,
2007, is approved with the following modifications/notes:
• Per UDC 11-3G-3A, set aside at least 10.03% (3.06 acres) of the site for useable
open space, as proposed.
• The applicant should construct a minimum 37-foot wide street buffer along the entire
length of W. McMillan Road (an arterial street) and a 35-foot wide street buffer N.

designer, or qualified nurseryman responsible for the landscape plan. All standards of
installation should apply as listed in UDC 11-3B-14.
• Provide fencing along the common lots 1, Block 12, Lots 14 and 16, Block 10 and
lots 1, 23 and 25, Block 13 per UDC 11-3A-7A-7.
Submit copies of a revised landscape plan, reflecting the changes/notes mentioned above,
with the fmal plat application(s).
Traffic Study: A traffic study was submitted for ACHD review. Staff has attached a copy of
the letter highlighting ACHD comments regazding the Traffic Impact Study in Exhibit A. At
Oak Creek AZ PP PAGE 15
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 7, 2008
build out the project is expected to generate an estimated 17,328 total trips. During the am
peak hour traffic is expected to generate 1,307 trips and the pm peaks hour trips are estimated
at 1,818 trips. As the project develops the City, ACRD and ITD should require the necessary
improvements as phases are proposed for development.
Oak Creek Subdivision (Phase 1) is estimated to generate an average ADT of 1,043 with 82
am peak hour trips and 110 pm vehicle trips. ACRD has commented on the appropriate
roadway improvements to accommodate the increased traffic. See Exhibit B.
Stub Streets: The applicant is proposing four stub streets to adjacent properties: These
proposed streets are listed below:
• W. Quintale Street stubs to the property to the west.
• N. Oakstone Avenue stubs to the property to the south.
• W. Torana Court stubs to the Ada County parcel in the southeast corner.
• The partial cul-de-sac that connects W. Los Flores Street and N. Maplestone Way stubs
to the parcel in the northeast corner.
Staff is supportive of the stub streets proposed for future residential developments. The
applicant should be required to provide public stub streets to the afore-mentioned parcels as
proposed.
Access: Currently, there are two entrances proposed into this site. The first entrance is N.
Oakstone Avenue and intersects W. McMillan Road and the second entrance is W. Quintale
Street which intersects N. Black Cat Road. A total of eight public streets are proposed to
provide internal circulation through out the development. The typical street section is
expected to be constructed as 36-foot street section (measured from back of curb to back of
curb) with 7 feet of landscaping on each side within 50-feet ofright-of--way. Staff is generally
supportive of the proposed street system.
Existing Structures: Any existing building(s) shall be removed, prior to signature of the
final plat by the City Engineer.
Fencing: The applicant is proposing 6-foot solid fencing along the perimeter of the
development; 4 solid fencing along some of the interior common open space for the
development; and 6-foot wrought iron fencing is proposed along Settler's Canal. Fencing
adjacent to micro-paths and interior common open space is limited to 4feet in height if
closed vision fencing is used or open vision fencing up to (Meet in height is allowed as it
provides visibility from adjacent homes or buildings, per UDC 11-3A-7A.7. On the
submitted landscape plan, the applicant has not provide fencing along the common lots
1, 14 and 16, Block 10 and lots 1, 23 and 25, Block 13. Staff is recommending the
applicant comply with the fencing requirements per UDC 11-3A-7A-7.
A detailed fencing plan should be submitted upon application of the final plat. If permanent
fencing is not proposed along the boundary of the subdivision, the applicant is required to
construct temporary fencing to contain debris during construction prior to issuance of any
building permits on the site. Fencing should taper down to a 3 foot maximum within 20 feet
of all rights-of--way.
Ditches, Laterals, and Canals: Per UDC 11-3A-6 all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals,
exclusive of any natural waterways that intersect, cross or lie within the area being
subdivided shall be covered. The Settler's Canal traverses through the proposed platted
property. The applicant is proposing to preserve a 50-foot open space corridor to maintain
access to the canal. The applicant states the canal is to remain open due to the Settler's
Irrigation District requiring a 72" pipe to enclose the canal. The UDC requires the City
Oak Creek AZ PP PAGE 16
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 7, 2008
Council waive the requirement for tiling the canal. Staff is supportive of the canal
remaining open.
Pressure Irrigation: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be
supplied by a year-round source of water (MCC 12-13-8.3). The applicant agrees to use the
City of Meridians reuse water supply for the primary source of irrigation by entering into a
development agreement with the City of Meridian. The applicant will be required to use
Meridian's reuse water with the construction of phase three and continuing on all future
phases.
Drainage: A seepage bed for stormwater drainage is shown on Lot 13, Block 13. 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
aware that infiltration ponds for ACRD public streets require ezposed 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.
Common Areas: The applicant is providing 16.4% (5.06 acres) common open space within
the development. Oak Creek also includes 37-foot exterior buffer along McMillan and a 35-
foot landscape buffer along Black Cat Road. The primary open space consists of a 1.39 area
park centrally located in the neighborhood and includes play equipment, a picnic shelter and a
pathway. In addition, the neighborhood is expected to develop with detached sidewalks, street
trees and eight foot landscape parkways through-out. Maintenance of all common areas shall
be the responsibility of the respective Oak Creek Home Owners' Association.
Building Elevations: Three single family home elevations were submitted to represent the
housing proposed for construction with the Oakcreek Subdivision. The UDC requires
buildings to be constructed of high quality building materials such as stone, brick, wood or
other native materials. In no case shall the buildings use vinyl siding as the primary siding
material.
The building materials appear to be of high quality materials. The fronts of the buildings are
accented with shutters, front porches with stone or brick accents and gable and hip roofs. The
siding materials appear to be a variety of wood composite siding finishes painted in neutral
colors. Roofing material is architectural shingles. Staff is generally supportive of the
elevations proposed for this development.
Phasing Plan: The applicant submitted a phasing plan which staff has included in Exhibit A.
The applicant is expected to have 13 phases to the project. The first two phases are proposed
with the 30 acre plat reviewed in this staff report. Due to the timeline of Hwy 16 alignment
study completion slated for the end of 2009 and the lack of a timeline and funding for the
construction of the Can-Ada lift station, staff is generally support the phasing plan for the
project.
b. Staff Recommendation: Staff is recommending approval of the proposed Oak Creek
development (AZ-08-004 and PP-08-003) based on the Analysis and Findings of Fact as listed in
Exhibit D. The Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission heard these items on June 5, 2008 and

Subject: Oek~k Subdivision Traffic Impact Study
Dear Becky,
Dtstdct staff has reviewed the traffic impact study for the subject development and have the following
comments that need to be addressed:
1. The wart site access is oNy 700 feet east of McDermott Road and will not ~ considered far
a signal location as suggested in the traffic impact study. The middle site access at the'h
mile may ~ considered as a potential signal location. If necessary, the site plan should ~
revised to shift more of the traffic to this middle access.
2. District Policy and the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan encourage'/: mile collectors. I
ITD will approve a half mile ccllector intersection with US-2028 between McDermott and
Black Cat the District must plan accordingly and this site should stub a mid mile collector to
the north.
3. The site plan should be revised to accommodate an east/west ~Ilector off 81adc Gat Road
to help serve this site. The District can foresee problems with the local road connection to
Black Cat as h is currently planned.
4. The District has concerns regarding the length of soma of the straight focal street.
Alternatives to the long straight stretches should be considered or other alternatives
suggested to address the potential for traffic calming requesffi in the future.
5. The District has concerns rega~ng the two inten3ections located in the curves off of the
collector road. The design should address potential site distance! cortstrairrts and
acknowledge that landscaping in these areas may be severely limited. A small revision in
the site plan to rekrcate tltese intersections could eliminate these concerns.
6. The McfiAillan/Blaek Cat Intersection is an all-way stop and net atwo-way stop as analyzed.
7. The DisMct bepeves the TIS may be overestimating the traffic distribution on Black Cat and
underestimating the distribution on McMillan east of Black Cat. Please demonstrate how the
engineer determined the traffic distribution.

The applicant and ACRD wi11 nab to work with ITD and tha City of Meridian to determine an
appropriate right-of-way corridor to preserve along McDermott Road to not conflict with
future SH-18 extenalon piana.
9. The TIS should be updated and revised to reflect any changes to the trip distribution as a
resuR of addressing the comments above.
It may be beneficial to schedule a meeting with ACHD and the City of MerMlan to review any revisions
to the site layout before modifying the traffic impact study.
If you have any questions you may contact me at 387-6170.

and/or rezone, the Council shall make the following findings:
A. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive

The applicant is proposing to zone the subject property to the R-4, R-8 and R-15 zoning
districts. The Council fmds that the proposed zoning map amendment complies with the
applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan (see Section 8 above).
B. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed
district, specifically the purpose statement;
The Council fmds that proposed 30 acre Preliminary Plat would comply with the
established regulations and purpose statement of the R-8 zoning district. A revised
concept plan has been submitted generally depicting how the site is to develop attached in
Exhibit A above. The applicant is also proposing an interim lift station to provide sewer
services for the portion of the development outside of the Black Cat Sewer Shed. If the
applicant complies with the provisions outlined in the development agreement with the
Annexation request and the conditions of approval for the preliminary plat, the Council
fmds that the proposed residential districts will be in compliance with the specific district
regulations. The Council fmds that future development of this property should comply
with the established regulations and purpose statement of the residential zoning districts.
C. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
and welfare;
The Council fmds that the proposed zoning amendment will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely
on any oral or written testimony that may be provided when determining this finding.
D. 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,

impact upon the delivery of services by any political subdivision providing services to
this site.
E. The annexation is in the best of interest of the City (LTDC 11-5B-3.E).
The overall density proposed in the R-4, R-8 and R-15 districts generally complies with
the anticipated density for this azea (see Section 8 of the staff report for more
information). In accordance with the fmdings listed above, the Council finds that
Annexation and Zoning of this property to R-4, R-8 and R-15 would be in the best
interest of the City, if the applicant enters into a Development Agreement (DA) with
the City, as mentioned in Section 10 of the Staff Report.

accommodate the proposed development;
