History of Previous Actions: - In 2007, the subject property was granted Annexation and Zoning (AZ-06-031) approval with TN-C and TN-R zoning districts (Ordinance #07-1319). A Development Agreement was also approved with the annexation (Instrument No. 107074205). - A Preliminary Plat (PP-06-031) was approved concurrent with the annexation for 2391ots consisting of 189 residential lots, 11 commerciaUother lots, 8 mega lots (to be developed in the future), and 31 common/open space lots. - A Property Boundary Adjustment (PBA-08-014) application was approved by the Planning Department on October 13, 2008 for the creation of the subject parcel. - A Conditional Use Permit (CUP-08-027) was approved on the subject property and the property directly to the north on the south side of Overland Road on November 18, 2008 for an 87,757 square foot assisted living facility containing 187 residential units. - A Development Agreement modification (MDA-08-004) application is currently in process to eliminate the mega lot concept which requires platting of all parcels to allow for property boundary adjustments and platting. The conceptual master plan is also proposed to be modified to include the subject assisted living facility and future church and reflect changes to the alignment of streets within the site and Overland Road due to topography and ACHD requirements. e. Existing Constraints and Opportunities 1. Public Works Location of sewer: This project will be served by the 27-inch Overland Road Re-Alignment Sewer Trunk. Location of water: This project will be served from existing water mains located in W Overland Road and S. Linder Road.

Summary of Proposed Streets and/or Access (private, public, common drive, etc.): Access to this site is proposed from a planned public street, Southridge Drive that is proposed to intersect Overland Road approximately 1/ mile west of S. Linder Road. 7. COMMENTS MEETING On October 30, 2008, a joint agency and departments meeting was held with service providers in this area. The agencies and departments present included: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Parks Department, Meridian Public Works Department, Meridian, and the Sanitary Services Company. Staff has included comments, conditions, and recommended actions in Exhibit B below. 8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS T'he 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as within the "Ten Mile Interchange Specific" area. The specific land use designations for this property are Mixed Use Commercial (MUC) & Medium Density Residential (MDR). The purpose of the MUC designation is to encourage the development of a mixture of office, retail, recreational, employment, and other miscellaneous uses, with supporting multi-family or single family attached residential uses. MDR designated areas are characterized by relatively low densities and a predominance of single- family and 2-unit housing types emphasizing ownership opportunities. Smaller two, three and four unit apartment buildings maybe compatible in a MDR area but large apartment buildings or apartment complexes are not. In general, MDR areas should be protected from encroachments of higher density or higher intensity uses. MDR areas should include a mix of housing types that achieve an overall average target density of 6 dwelling units per gross acre. Generally, densities should range from 4-8 units per acre. Most developments should fall within this range, although small areas of slightly higher density may exist. MDR areas should be designed to be conducive to walking and all of the housing and other uses should share an interconnected sidewalk and street system. Higher density housing types within MDR areas generally should be located near mixed use or other more intensely developed areas, with a transition to smaller buildings such as duplexes and single-family detached houses as the distance from the more intensely developed area increases. See Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan for more information. The proposed density (number of beds/units) of the assisted living facility is 9.53 per acre, which exceeds the target density of 4-8 units per acre for MDR designated areas. However, as previously stated, higher densities housing types are appropriate near mixed use and more intensely developed areas. To the east of this site on the southwest corner of Overland & Linder, commercial uses are planned; directly to the east a church is proposed to be constructed with phase 2 that will be associated with the assisted living facility and connected by a pathway; and phase 3, to the south, is proposed to consist of 4 brownstone structures consisting of 16 units per building for a total of 64 residential units. An elementary school and public library are proposed southeast of the site on the Beacon at Southridge RZ-08-008 PAGE 4 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF DECEMBER 23, 2008 west side of Linder and medium-density single-family residential homes are proposed to the south. Additionally, because of the nature of the approved use (i.e. older residents that don't drive), the traffic impact and occupancy won't be as high as an apartment complex. Staff finds that the proposed rezone to accommodate the approved assisted living facility complies with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and furthers the goals and objectives set forth therein. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the proposed use (staff analysis in italics): • Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all public services (Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1, page 111). YVhen the City established its Area of City Impact, it planned to provide City services to the subject property. The subject property is within the corporate boundaries of the City. Municipal services will be provided 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 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 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. • Insure that high-quality emergency care, primary, outpatient, home, and long-term care and other types of health care are provided in the community (Chapter VI, Goal V, Objective A). The conditionally approved assisted living facility will contribute to the provision of a variety of long term health care options available in the community. • Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 1, page 113). Staff believes that the approved residential use of the property will be compatible with and have a low impact on the existing adjacent residential uses to the west and north. • Develop methods, such as cross-access agreements, frontage roads, to reduce the number of existing access points onto arterial streets (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 12). A public street, Southridge Drive, is proposed for access to the site, and other phases of the development, from Overland Road. This should help to reduce the number of access points on Overland Road. • Chapter IV, Goal I, Objective A, Action 6 (page 26) -Permit new residential, commercial, or industrial developments only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City. The subject property lies within the boundaries of the City of Meridian and can be provided with City services. Beacon at Southridge RZ-08-008 PAGE 5 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF DECEMBER 23, 2008 Staff believes that the proposed rezone to TN-C is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with existing and future surrounding uses 9. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE a. Allowed Uses in Traditional Neighborhood Districts: UDC Table 11-2D-21ists the permitted, accessory, and conditional uses in the TN-C zoning district. Nursing or Residential Care Facilities (assisted living) are a conditional use in the TN-R zoning district. A CUP was approved on November 18, 2008 for an assisted living facility on this site. b. Dimensional Standards: Development of the subject property is required to comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2D-6 for the TN-R district. c. Purpose Statement of Zone: Per UDC 11-2D-1, the purpose of the traditional neighborhood districts is to encourage mixed use, compact development that is sensitive to the environmental characteristics of the land and facilitates the efficient use of services. Vertically integrated residential projects are encouraged in all traditional neighborhood districts. A traditional neighborhood district diversifies and integrates land uses within close proximity to each other, and it provides for the daily recreational and shopping needs of the residents. The assisted living facility will be the first of a mix of uses in this vicinity. A public library, elementary school, church, brownstones, single family residences, and commercial uses are proposed for this area in the future. 10. ANALYSIS a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: Staff is supportive of the RZ request as proposed, with the following comments: RZ: The applicant is requesting to rezone 12.76 acres of land from the TN-R district to the TN-C district As a condition of approval of the CUP, the applicant was required to rezone the portion of the site zoned TN-R to TN-C, consistent with the property to the north, so that the future assisted living facility would not be split zoned. Currently, the 4-story portion of the proposed assisted living facility would span across both the TN-C and TN-R districts (see Exhibit A.4). In the TN-R district, the maximum building height is 40 feet and the maximum height to eave providing roof access is 30 feet. The proposed structure exceeds the aforementioned height limitations. With approval of the rezone, development of the entire property would be consistent with the TN-C district standards. The Comprehensive Plan future land use map designation for this property is MUC and MDR, which is consistent with the proposed TN-C district. Based on the policies and goals contained in the Comprehensive Plan and the future land use designations of MUC and MDR for this site, Staff believes that the requested rezone to TN-C is appropriate for this property. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of the required facts and fmdings. The rezone legal description submitted with the application (stamped on October 6, 2008 by Aaron Ballard, PLS) and included in Exhibit C shows the property within the existing corporate boundary of the City of Meridian. Development Agreement (DA): UDC 11-SB-3D2 and Idaho Code § 65-6711A provides the City the authority to require a property owner to enter into a DA with the City that may require some written commitment for all future uses. A DA already exists for the Southridge development in which this property lies. An amendment to the DA was recently approved by City Council that tied development of the entire Southridge property to a master conceptual plan. The master plan Beacon at Southridge RZ-08-008 PAGE 6 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF DECEMBER 23, 2008 depicts an assisted living facility on the subject property as proposed by the applicant. Further, the CUP approved for this site also requires the applicant to comply with the site plan and building elevations attached in Exhibits A.2 and A.3. For these reasons, Staff does not feel a new DA or an addendum to the existing DA is necessary. If the Commission or Council believes that an amendment to the existing DA is necessary, then staff recommends a clear outline of the commitments of the developer being required. b. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the rezone for the Beacon at Southridge assisted living facility, as presented in the Staff Report for the hearing date of November 20, 2008, based on the Findings of Fact as listed in Exhibit D and subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit B. The Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item on November 20, 2008. At the uublic hearing they moved to recommend auuroval of the subject RZ reauest. The Meridian City Council heard these items on January 6.2009. At the public hearin~t e Council aunroved the subject R7. reauest. 11. EXI~BITS A. Drawings 1. Vicinity/Zoning Map 2.
