With all extensions, the Director or City Council may require the plat to comply with current provisions of the UDC. VI. PROCESS FACTS A. The subject application is for a time extension. A public hearing is required before the City Council on this matter, consistent with Meridian City Code Title 11, Chapter 5. B. Newspaper notifications published on: December 13, and 27, 2010 C.

HISTORY OF PREVIOUS ACTIONS: In 2006, the subject property was granted Annexation and Zoning (AZ-06-005) approval by City Council with R-4, TN-C, and C-C zoning districts. A Development Agreement (DA) was approved with the annexation (Instrument No. 106122365). A preliminary plat (PP-06-004) was approved concurrently with annexation of the property for 126 residential lots (24 townhouse lots and 102 detached single-family lots), 7 commercial lots, and 26 common/other lots on 55.83 acres of land. Private streets (PS-06-004) were also approved in specific locations within the development. On November 5, 2008, an 18 month time extension (TE-08-026) was approved by the Planning Department for the applicant to obtain the City Engineer's signature on the first phase of the final plat (expires on December 6, 2010). As a condition of approval of the time extension, the applicant is required to submit a DA modification application to include sample building elevations for this project in the existing DA. Additionally, staff recommended that all private streets be converted to public streets. • On February 10, 2009, a development agreement modification (MDA-08-008) was approved by City Council that tied both commercial, single family residential and townhomes elevations to the recorded development agreement. The subsequent development agreement was recorded as instrument #109082037. Knight Sky Estates TE-10-033 Page 2 VIII. STAFF ANALYSIS This is the first time extension requested for approval by City Council. An 18-month time extension was previously granted by the Director but has now expired. The Applicant has met the necessary deadline by filing a written request for a time extension before the preliminary plat expired. As a condition of approval of the previous time extension, the applicant was required to submit a DA modification application to include sample building elevations for this project. The development agreement has been amended to include building elevations. In addition, the recorded development agreement requires all future development in the TN-C and C-C zoned lots to be subject to administrative design review which is consistent with the UDC. Since the Meridian Design Manual was not in effect at the time of the previous approvals, all future construction (excluding the single family homes) within this development should be subject to the structure and site design standards as set forth in the Unified Development Code and the design guidelines as set forth in City of Meridian Design Manual. In addition, UDC 11-3H-4.C requires certain design and construction standards along Highway 20- 26. Specifically, a 10-foot multi-use pathway is required within the 35-foot wide landscape buffer adjacent to Chinden Boulevard (HWY 20-26). After reviewing the submitted landscape plan it appears the project was approved with a 5-foot wide pathway. Staff is of the opinion that the plat should comply with the standards outlined in the UDC. Thus, staff is recommending the following additional conditions of approval: 1) The applicant shall comply with all previous conditions of approval incorporated in the recorded development agreements and preliminary plat associated with this site (see section 7 for the appropriate file numbers). 2) Future development of this site (excluding the R-4 single family portion) shall be subject to the structure and site design standards as set forth in the Unified Development Code and the Meridian Design Manual. 3) The applicant shall construct a 10-foot multi-use pathway consistent with the standards set forth in UDC 11-3H-4C.
