VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
The subject property is designated as "Medium Density Residential" on the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map. Medium density residential areas are anticipated to contain three to eight
dwelling units per acre (see Page 99 of the Comprehensive Plan). The applicant is requesting an R-4
zoning designation with the annexation of this property. Currently the property is developed with one
single family residence. At this time, there are no plans for developing the property. The annexation
request is necessary to facilitate the extension of city services to the property.
Since the property is developed with a single family residence; this use and the proposed R-4 zone is
consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to
the proposed use (staff analysis in italics):
• Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1 -Require that development projects have planned
for the provision of all public services.
When the City established its Area of City Impact, it planned to provide City services to the
subject property. The City of Meridian currently provides municipal services to the subject
property in the following manner:
• Sanitary sewer and water service will be extended to the existing residence.
• 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 (ACHD). This service will not change.
• The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian School District No. 2. This service
will not change.
Municipal, fee-supported, services will continue to 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 VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action 2 (page 114) -Restrict curb cuts and access points on
collectors and arterial streets.
The existing residence has access from two different streets. The driveway for the residence fronts
along Ten Mile Road and serves as the main access to the residence. A secondary access is
provided from W. Hatch Court (a local street); a cul-de-sac located at the northwest corner of the
Pecchenino Annexation - AZ-10-004 PAGE 3
property which allows access to the rear of the property. The UDC requires access to be taken
from a local street if one is provided.
At this time additional development is not proposed for the property and intensity of the use of the
site is not proposed to change. The annexation request is merely to extended city services to the
property to allow the city to move forward with expanding the water reuse line in front of this
property down to the new interchange. If future development is planned for the property, access
to N. Ten Mile Road should be restricted and the future access to the property should be from W.
Hatch Court.
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
A. The applicant is requesting an R-4 zoning district for the property. 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.
B. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: UDC 11-2A-2 lists single-family dwellings as principal
permitted uses in the R-4 zoning district.
C. Dimensional Standards: Any new construction or building expansions comply with the
dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-2 for the proposed R-4 zoning district.
IX. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
The Public Works Department requests approval to annex and zone one (1) acre of land from the
RUT zoning district in Ada County to the R-4 district in the City. The purpose of the annexation
is to provide city services to the subject property which are necessitated by the City's water reuse
infrastructure project.
Specifically, the reuse water main is planned to be installed in front of this property down to the
new Ten Mile interchange. While in the planning stages of the project, it was determined by the
Department of Environmental Quality that there is an inadequate separation between the reuse
water main and the property owner's domestic well thus necessitating the need to provide city
services to the property. The City has agreed to initiate the annexation and pay for the service
hook ups.
A contractual agreement on the terms and costs of the service installation between the City and
the owner will be prepared in place of a development agreement. The property owner has
consented to the annexation and has granted permission to the City to act on their behalf in
respect to the annexation application.
At this time, there is no development proposed with the annexation. Future development will be
subject to the development standards of the UDC in effect at the time of development.
Currently, a number of recreational vehicles are being stored on the property which appears to be
a RV storage facility (accessory outdoor storage). In order to facilitate the outdoor storage, the
property owner would first need to be annexed in to the city and then follow-up with a certificate
of zoning compliance (CZC). In addition, the accessory outdoor storage would have to comply
with the specific use standards in accord with UDC 11-4-3-33. After speaking with the property
owner, it was not his intent to have accessory outdoor storage on the site. Thus, any recreational
vehicles that are not under the ownership of the property owner should be removed from the
Pecchenino Annexation - AZ-10-004 PAGE 4
property.
In addition, any recreational vehicle owned by the property owner is required to be screened by a
6-foot solid fence as set forth in UDC 11-3C-4A.2. The existing fencing on the property is 4-foot
chain link. Staff is of the opinion that proper fencing should be erected to adequately screen the
recreational vehicle. Said fencing should replace the existing 4-foot chain link fence the runs
from the north side of the existing residence and terminate at the northern property boundary. The
Public Works Department has agreed to coordinate with the property owner for the construction
of the new fencing. Staff anticipates the new fencing to be in place in conjunction with the home
being hooked-up to city services.
Staff finds zoning this property R-4 and providing city service connection is consistent with both
the Comprehensive plan and the Unified Development Code.
