network.
3. The applicant is providing almost ten percent of open space, as well as the
interconnecting system of pathways.
4. The applicant provided a sketch, dated 7-15-03 by J-U-B Engineers, Inc., showing
how the streets align between Lochsa Falls and Kelly Creek at Apgar Creek Street. A
proposed street modification to allow the centerline of Apgar Creek to align with the

accordance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, which designates the land
to be "Medium Density Residential". The requested L-O and C-G zones do not comply with the
Future Land Use Map, but can be approved under the us exception provisions of Ordinance 12-6-3.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

(AZ-03-013)
PAGE 11 OF 27
14. It is not anticipated that the land to be annexed will be rezoned in the future.
15. It is found that the property will be developed in a manner consistent with the
proposed zoning and/or consistent with allowable Planned Development uses.
16. It is found that the annexation and zoning of the Bridgetower Subdivision to the
south, Lochsa Falls to the north and west, and Paramount to the east is a significant change in the
area. All such developments were also approved as planned developments with land use exceptions.
The two arterial streets abutting the project are not planned for improvements in Ada County
Highway District's Five Year Work Program.
17. It is found that the proposed uses match the intended chazacter of the vicinity, as
noted on the Generalized Land Use Map. It is also found that the proposed uses can be designed and
constructed in a manner that will be harmonious with and appropriate in appearance with the existing
and intended character ofthe surrounding area. The proposed use exceptions aze located adjacent to
other similaz use exceptions granted to surrounding developments. The existing chazacter ofthe azea
will change, especially upon build-out of the proposed project, but it will not adversely change the
essential character of the azea.
18. It is not anticipated that the proposed uses will be hazardous or disturbing to future or
existing neighbors.
19. The Meridian Fire Department has submitted a list of conditions and needs in order to
adequately serve the project. The ACHD Commission acted on the application at their July 2, 2003
meeting, and their conditions are listed in number 12 above. Water and sanitary sewer service to
phase one will be readily available to the north from phase 3 of Lochsa Falls Subdivision which is
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

currently under construction. Further phases of this development will be dependent upon a sanitary
sewer extension to the west through future phases of the Lochsa Falls project.
20. If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local street
infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The primary public costs to serve
the future residents will be fire, police and school facilities and services. It is found that there will
not be excessive additional requirements at public cost for public services and facilities and that the
annexation and zoning will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
21. It is found that the proposed residential, office and commercial uses themselves will
not be detrimental. It is also found that the proposed uses will create additional traffic on adjacent
arterial roads. The Traffic Impact Study provided by the applicant to ACHD states that the
development is estimated to generate 3,772 additional vehicle trips per day with a peak traffic
volume of 352 vehicle trips per hours. It is also noted that the mixed use nature of the proposed
development will encourage a higher degree of trip capture within the square mile. In this regard, the
"excessive production" of traffic is lessened versus a project without accessible neighborhood
services. It is not anticipated that the proposed uses will create noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
22. It is found that ACHD staffhas reviewed and recommended approval ofthe vehicular
approaches to the residential areas of Kelly Creek Subdivision off of Linder and McMillan Roads.
The proposed access points to the commercial and office areas are found to violate ACHD's offset
requirements and must be redesigned per ACHD requirements. It is also found that the applicant has
proposed internal connections to adjacent properties by connecting to the four stub streets provided
by Lochsa Falls.

23. It is found that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approval of this annexation request. The land is currently in agricultural production
with no historic structures or significant natural features.
24. It is found that the annexation of this property would be in the best interest of the
City.
25. It is found that if the developer pays for the requested improvements and complies
with the conditions set forth in these Findings of Fact No. 12, and all sub-pazts, the economic
welfaze of the City and its residents and tax and rate payers will be protected, a condition of
annexation and zoning designation.
26. It is also found that the development considerations as referenced in Finding No.
12 aze reasonable to require and must be taken into account, in order to assure the proposed
development is designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner which is harmonious
and appropriate in appearance with the existing, or intended chazacter of the general vicinity, in
order to assure that the proposed use will not change the essential chazacter of the affected
vicinity and will insure that the proposed uses will not be hazardous or disturbing to the existing,
or future neighboring uses, particularly considering the impact of proposed development on
potential to produce excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare and odors.
27. The City Council recognizes the letter of Daniel Gibson dated July 29, 2003,
wherein he approves the relocation of W. Apgaz Creek Street, which is within his property
boundaries approximately 50 feet to the north, upon the issues addressed within this paragraph.
Mr. Gibson is willing to allow the relocation to occur based on the assurance of the acceptability

by the Ada County Highway District. (ACHD memo from Christy Richardson dated July 17,
2003.) If Mr. Gibson can receive written assurance that this relocation will not result in a future
requirement that he relocate the access easement to the west, then he is willing to agree to the
proposed relocation change. If this is not possible, then the proposed Kelly Creek plat should be
revised to recognize the alignment of West Apgar Street as depicted in the approved Lochsa Falls
Preliminary Plat.
