According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning Amendments, both
the P&Z Commission and Council are required "to review the particular facts and circumstances
of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate
evidence answering the following questions about the proposed zoning amendment."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff:
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;

Staff finds that the requested zoning designations of R-8 and L -O are harmonious
with and in accordance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan and Generalized
Land Use Map, which designates the land to be "Mixed Use Neighborhood." The
subject property is located at the northern edge of a Neighborhood Center
designated on Meridian's Future Land Use Map.
B. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
The area has been designated as a Mixed Use Community area in Meridian's
Comprehensive Plan. These Comprehensive Plan designations in combination
with the Neighborhood Center designation on Meridian's Future Land Use Map
make the proposed zoning of the property compatible with surrounding land uses
and the City of Meridian's plan for the development of the area.
C. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed uses are compatible with the existing and intended
character of the area. The Comprehensive plan designates the area as Mixed Use
Neighborhood; the proposed mixture of residential and light office uses is
compatible with the Comprehensive Plan designation. Staff finds 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 of the surrounding area.
D. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
The Commission and Council should rely on public testimony to determine
whether or not the proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to the
neighboring uses.
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed uses will be hazardous or disturbing to
future or existing neighbors.
E. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;

Staff finds that the subject property can be served adequately by all essential
public facilities and services.
F. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
Staff finds that there will not be additional requirements at public cost and that the
zoning will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
G. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff finds that the proposed uses will create additional traffic, especially on
Locust Grove Road.
H. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
Staff finds that the proposed vehicular approach on Locust Grove Road has the
potential to interfere with traffic on the surrounding streets. The previous
application on this subject property, Blooming Meadows, did not have a direct
connection to Locust Grove Road. The lack of a connection to Locust Grove on
the previous application was a point of concern for the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
Ada County Highway District's comments should be considered when making
this finding.
L Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
Staff finds no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approval of rezone request. The subject property is located in the
Five Mile flood plain.
I Is, the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 392,11-17-1992)"
Staff finds that the proposed rezone of this property would be in the best interest
of the City by increasing the variety of housing types available in Meridian and
providing a light office development in a Neighborhood Center.

the land to be annexed, not each individual zoning boundary. The applicant shall be required
to submit new legal descriptions that describe each of the two zones requested. Submit the
new legal descriptions to the Public Works Department for review prior to this application
being heard by the Meridian City Council.

Application Information:
The Ada County Highway District (ACHD) staff has received the above referenced application requesting
preliminary plat, conditional use, and rezone and annexation approval for the development of 34 residential
lots, 4 professional office lots, and 6 common lots on 11.31 acres. The site is located at 4379 N. Locust
Grove approximately %mile south of Mc Millan Road.
Acreage: 11.31
Current Zoning: RUT
Proposed Zoning: R-8 and L -O
Buildable Lots: 34 residential lots
4 office lots, approx. 21,000 sq. ft. of future office space
6 common lots
Vicinity Map
A. Findings of Fact
Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 570 additional vehicle trips per day (0
existing) based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual.
2. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of a building
permit. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that
time.
3. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was not required with this application, but staff has
included the executive summary of the North Meridian Traffic Study.
The proposed 12 -square mile study area between US 20/26 and Ustick Road and between
McDermott Road and Eagle Road has been examined by the Ada County Highway District (ACRD)
for anticipated development build out. The following are the principal findings and recommendations
of the study:
♦ The study area is anticipated to develop an additional 17,599 dwelling units, 2,744,000 sq. ft of
office buildings, 1,929,000 sq.ft. of retail buildings, 12 elementary schools, 2 senior high schools, 2
junior high schools, 38,260 sq. ft of church buildings, and approximately 60 acres of park, at full
build out.
♦ The build out scenario of the study area is projected to generate an average daily traffic (ADT) of
276,764 vehicles per day (vpd), of which the peak hour traffic (PHT) will be 28,206 vehicles per
hour (vph). Out of these trips approximately 10% of the trips remain internal within each section,
and 6% of the trips are pass -by trips.
♦ The distribution of the traffic from all of the study area sections indicate that approximately 30%
traffic directed towards south, 27% of the traffic directed towards east, 21 % of the traffic directed
towards west and north. The remaining 22% of the traffic is distributed within the study area.
♦ At build out, traffic on the arterials is expected to significantly increase.
♦ All of the arterial intersections in the study area are currently operating at acceptable level of
service of "C" or better.
♦ The majority of study intersections are projected to meet the peak hour traffic signal warrants at full
build out of the area.
♦ Several mid -mile intersections may warrant traffic signals due to the heavy left turn traffic volume.
♦ At full build out, the following improvements may be anticipated within the study area:
0 5 -lane road section with right turn lanes at some arterial and access intersections:
Chinden Boulevard, McMillan east of Black Cat, Ustick east of Black Cat, Linder, Ten
Mile, Meridian south of McMillan, and Locust Grove at Ustick.
0 3 -lane road section with right turn lanes at some arterial and access intersections:
McMillan west of Black Cat, Ustick west of Black Cat, McDermott, Black Cat, Meridian
north of McMillan, and Locust Grove.
Due to the large number of inquiries and submitted development applications in this area, staff and
the development community realized that the potential for development in this area is significant and
the traffic impact studies that each individual developer was submitting did not include the major
surrounding developments that are "in the works".
Based on development patterns in this area, and the concern surrounding the abutting roadways,
ACHD hired Washington Group to conduct a traffic impact study of the northwestern Meridian area
from Ustick Road to Chinden Boulevard, and from McDermott Road to Eagle Road. The study was
2
necessary to determine what types of roadway improvements, especially at intersections, would be
needed to accommodate the traffic in this area at full build out.
One option for funding improving these roadways is the implementation of an extra -ordinary impact
fee overlay district. This applicant will be subject to extraordinary fees, should an overlay district be

If staff examines each one of these developments individually, the roadway system appears
adequate, but when staff adds each approved development, the traffic capacities of the surrounding
roadways reach their 2020 planning thresholds.
One option for funding improving these roadways is the implementation of an extra -ordinary impact
fee overlay district. This application may also be subject to any extraordinary fees that the District
may impose.
B. Findings for Consideration
Right -of -Way and Sidewalk for Locust Grove Road
District policy requires 96 -feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way
allows for the construction of a 5 -lane roadway with curb, gutter, 5 -foot concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes.
As a part of the North Meridian Traffic Plan, it was noted that a 3 -lane roadway with curb,
gutter, 5 -foot concrete detached sidewalks and bike lanes within 70 -feet of right-of-way would
be adequate to accommodate the projected traffic volumes on McMillan Road and Locust
Grove Road. Due to the fact that the North Meridian Traffic Plan recommended a 70 -foot right -
5
of -way on Locust Grove Road and the Commission has supported the recommendations in
the past, staff is recommending that the applicant dedicate 70 -feet of right-of-way (35 -feet
from centerline), as opposed to the 96 -foot standard right-of-way (48 -feet from centerline).
Locust Grove Road is not listed as a proposed project in the District's currently adopted Five -Year
Work Program or in the currently adopted 20 -year Capital Improvements Plan. As such, the applicant
cannot receive reimbursement for dedicated right-of-way from available collected impact fees. The
applicant shall do one of the following:
a. Dedicate by donation a total of 35 -feet of right-of-way along Locust Grove Road, and construct a
minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk along Locust Grove Road, located 2 -feet within the new right-
of-way.
b. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk
along Locust Grove Road, located a minimum of 28 -feet from the centerline of the right-of-way, in an
easement provided to the District.
c. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk
along Locust Grove Road, located at the back edge of the existing right-of-way. Accomplish all
necessary adjustments to properly accommodate existing drainage and utilities.
The applicant has proposed to dedicate, without compensation, the additional 2 -feet of right-of-way
on Locust Grove Road.
2. Internal Roadways
Local Residential
District policy 7204.4.1 and Figure 72-F1 A requires 50 -feet of right-of-way on local streets. This right-
of-way allows for the construction of a 2 -lane roadway with curb, gutter and 5 -foot wide concrete
sidewalks.
Commercial
District policy 7202.8 and 72-F1 B, requires roadways abutting commercial developments to be
constructed as a 40 -foot street section with curb, gutter and 5 -foot concrete sidewalk within 54 -feet of
right-of-way.
Sidewalk
District policy requires 5 -foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all local streets, except those in
rural developments with net densities of one dwelling unit per acre or less (7204.4.7). Sidewalks 4 -
feet wide (minimum) may be allowed when separated from the curb by a planting strip at least 5 -feet
in width. Some local jurisdictions may require wider sidewalks.
The applicant has proposed to construct all of the internal roadways within 50 -feet of right-of-way.
The applicant has proposed to construct the sidewalks as 4 -foot wide detached sidewalks with 5 -foot
wide landscaping strips. The sidewalks within the residential area meet district policy and should be
approved with this application.
Staff Recommends that the applicant construct West Star Lane, west of Locust Grove approximately
470 -feet (or up to the westemmost commercial driveway on West Star Lane), as a 40 -foot street
section with curb, gutter, and a concrete sidewalk within 54 -feet of right-of-way in accordance with
district policy for commercial roadways.
Request for Modification:
Staff requests that district policy be modified to allow the 4 -foot wide detached sidewalks with 5 -foot
planter strips in the commercial area of this planned development. This would allow for continuity
within the development and encourage pedestrian traffic between the residential and office uses.
Staff Recommends that West Star Lane, west of the last commercial driveway, be constructed as
proposed as a 2 -lane roadway with curb, gutter, and concrete sidewalk within 50 -feet of right-of-way.
The applicant has proposed North Heritage View Avenue, Reiterman Avenue, and North Heritage
Woods Avenue be constructed as 2 -lane roadways with curb, gutter, and concrete sidewalk within
50 -feet of right-of-way. This design meets district policy and should be approved with this application.
3. Stub Streets
District policy 7205.5 states that stub streets will be required to provide intra -neighborhood circulation
or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the requirements
described in Section 7204.5, 7204.6 and 7204.7, except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required if
the stub street has a length no greater than 150 -feet. A sign shall be installed at the terminus of the
stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE". In addition, a stub
street must meet the following conditions: 1. A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the
street intersection and drain surface water toward that intersection, unless a satisfactory storm drain
system is installed. 2. The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub
street will remain free of obstructions.
The applicant has proposed to connect to three (3) existing stub streets: North Heritage View
Avenue, North Heritage Woods Avenue, and North Mooney Falls Way. The applicant has also
proposed to construct two (2) new stub streets. The first new stub street is located approximately
240 -feet west of the intersection of North Locust Grove and West Star Lane and stubs to the property
south of the site. The second new stub street is Reiterman Avenue which is located approximately
240 -feet west of North Heritage View Avenue (measured centerline to centerline) and also stubs to
the property south of the site. The proposed stub street connections and proposed new stub streets
meet district policy and should be approved with this application.
4. Offsets
District policy 7204.11.6, requires local roadways to align or offset a minimum of 125 -feet from
another local roadway (measured centerline to centerline).
The applicant has proposed to align West Star Lane (the main entrance to the subdivision) with Star
Lane which intersect with North Locust Grove. This location meets district policy and should be
approved with this application.
5. Islands
District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5 requires any proposed landscape islands/medians within the public
right-of-way dedicated by this plat should be owned and maintained by a homeowners association.
Notes of this should be required on the final plat.
6. Driveways
Paving
Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked
onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7207.9.1, the applicant should be required to
pave the driveway its full width and at least 30 -feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the
roadway and install pavement tapers with 15 -foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge.
7
Residential Widths
District Policy 7207.9.3 restricts residential driveways to a maximum width of 20 -feet.
Commercial Widths
District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles
to a maximum width of 35 -feet. Most commercial driveways will be constructed as curb -cut type
facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type driveways with 15 -foot radii will be required for
driveways accessing collector and arterial roadways.
The applicant has proposed two (2) commercial driveways on West Star Lane. The other two
proposed commercial driveways are approximately 25 -feet in width and align with one another. The
location of the two commercial driveways accessing Lot 9 and Lots 3 & 4 of Block I meet district
policy and should be approved with this application.
7. Street Sections
District policy 7204.4.3 states, "a developer may construct a local urban residential street with a
reduced width of 29 -feet from back -of -curb to back -of -curb with curb, gutter and sidewalk. Although
some parking is allowed, the District will further restrict parking on a reduced width street if curves or
other physical feature causes problems, if actual emergency response experience indicates that
emergency vehicles may not be able to provide service, or if other safety concerns arise. The right-
of-way width of a 29 -foot street section will be in accordance with Section 7204.4.1.
Parking is allowed on one side of a reduced width street when the following criteria are met:
Traffic volumes on the street are not forecast to exceed 1,000 vehicle trips per day.
There must be no possibility that the street will be extended in the near future, or that another street
may be connected to it in a manner that would allow more than 1,000 vehicle trips per day.
• The developer is required to install "no parking signs" on one side of the street, as specified by the
District."
• Vertical curbs with attached 5 -foot minimum wide sidewalks or rolled curbs with 4 -foot minimum
wide detached sidewalks and 5 -foot minimum wide planter strips are required.
The applicant has proposed to construct the internal local roadways as 29 -feet street sections with
parking one side of the street only. This design meets district policy and should be approved with this
application.
8. Proposed Secondary Access
The applicant has proposed a secondary access point located 181 -feet west of the intersection of
West Star Lane and North Locust Grove. This access point is shown to be 42 -feet in width. The
applicant intends for the roadway to be constructed to its full width north of West Star Lane to the
south property line of the 1 -acre out parcel. From the south property line of the 1 -acre out parcel to
the northern boundary of the site, the applicant proposes to construct only the western half of the
roadway.
If this access is to be a public street it will need to be constructed to the local/commercial street
standard. Those standards include a 40 -foot street section with curb, gutter and 5 -foot concrete
sidewalk within 54 -feet of right-of-way. No perpendicular parking would be allowed on the public
street as shown on the concept plan. If only the western half of the roadway is constructed, 24 -feet of
pavement and curb, gutter, and sidewalk will be required within 40 -feet of right-of-way. In addition a
temporary turnaround would need to be constructed at the northern terminus of the roadway.
If this access point is to be a private roadway ora commercial driveway, the maximum width can only
by 35 -feet.
f]
The location of this access point meets district policy whether it is constructed as a commercial
driveway, a private drive or a public street. The location should be approved with this application.
C. Special Recommendation to the City of Meridian
1. Because the 1 -acre parcel adjacent to the northeast comer of the site is an `but parcel," the District
can not require the applicant to construct sidewalk abutting that 1 -acre parcel because it is not a part
of the subdivision plat. The District does however recognize that there are a number of schools in the
area and that pedestrian safety is a concern. Therefore the District is making a special
recommendation to the City of Meridian that the applicant be required to construct a 5 -foot wide
concrete sidewalk along Locust Grove to connect to the sidewalk that is required to be constructed
along Locust Grove with this application. There is sufficient existing right-of-way for the construction
of the sidewalk on the out parcel; the face of the sidewalk would need to be located 28 -feet from the
centerline in the existing 33 -feet of right-of-way. If this additional sidewalk is constructed, there will
only remain approximately 170 -feet of frontage on Locust Grove in need of sidewalk in order to
connect to Havasu Creek Subdivision.
D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
The applicant shall do one of the following:
a. Dedicate by donation a total of 35 -feet of right-of-way along Locust Grove Road, and construct a
minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk along Locust Grove Road, located a 2 -feet within the new
right-of-way.
b. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk
along Locust Grove Road, located a minimum of 28 -feet from the centerline of the right-of-way, in an
easement provided to the District.
c. Do not dedicate additional right-of-way, but construct a minimum 5 -foot wide concrete sidewalk
along Locust Grove Road, located at the back edge of the existing right-of-way. Accomplish all
necessary adjustments to properly accommodate existing drainage and utilities.
2. Construct West Star Lane, west of Locust Grove approximately 470 -feet west into the site (or up to
the westemmost commercial driveway on West Star Lane), as a 40 -foot street section with curb,
gutter, and 4 -foot detached concrete sidewalk and 5 -foot landscaping strip within 54 -feet of right-of-
way in accordance with district policy for commercial roadways.
3. Construct West Star Lane, west of the last commercial driveway as a 29 -foot street section with curb,
gutter, and concrete sidewalk within 50 -feet of right-of-way as proposed.
4. Construct North Heritage View Avenue, Reiterman Avenue, and North Heritage Woods Avenue as
29 -foot street sections with curb, gutter, and concrete sidewalk within 50 -feet of right-of-way as
proposed.
5. Construct 4 -foot detached concrete sidewalks with 5 -foot landscaping strips abutting all of the internal
roadways as proposed.
Install a sign at the terminus of the stub streets stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN
THE FUTURE."
4
7. Comply with all Standard Conditions of Approval.
E. Standard Conditions of Approval
Any existing irrigation facilities shall be relocated outside of the right-of-way.
2. All utility relocation costs associated with improving street frontages abutting the site shall be borne
by the developer.
3. Replace any existing damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk and any that may be damaged during the
construction of the proposed development. Contact Construction Services at 387-6280 (with file
number) for details.
4. Utility street cuts in pavement less than five years old are not allowed unless approved in writing by
the District. Contact the District's Utility Coordinator at 387-6258 (with file numbers) for details.
5. All design and construction shall be in accordance with the Ada County Highway District Policy
Manual, ISPWC Standards and approved supplements, Construction Services procedures and all
applicable ACHD Ordinances unless specifically waived herein. An engineer registered in the State
of Idaho shall prepare and certify all improvement plans.
6. The applicant shall submit revised plans for staff approval, prior to issuance of building permit (or
other required permits), which incorporates any required design changes.
7. Construction, use and property development shall be in conformance with all applicable requirements
of the Ada County Highway District prior to District approval for occupancy.
8. Payment of applicable road impact fees are required prior to building construction in accordance with
Ordinance #198, also known as Ada County Highway District Road Impact Fee Ordinance.
9. It is the responsibility of the applicant to verify all existing utilities within the right-of-way. The
applicant at no cost to ACHD shall repair existing utilities damaged by the applicant. The applicant
shall be required to call DIGLINE (1-800-342-1585) at least two full business days prior to breaking
ground within ACHD right-of-way. The applicant shall contact ACHD Traffic Operations 387-6190 in
the event any ACHD conduits (spare or filled) are compromised during any phase of construction.
10. No change in the terms and conditions of this approval shall be valid unless they are in writing and
signed by the applicant or the applicant's authorized representative and an authorized representative
of the Ada County Highway District. The burden shall be upon the applicant to obtain written
confirmation of any change from the Ada County Highway District.
11. Any change by the applicant in the planned use of the property which is the subject of this
application, shall require the applicant to comply with all rules, regulations, ordinances, plans, or other
regulatory and legal restrictions in force at the time the applicant or its successors in interest advises
the Highway District of its intent to change the planned use of the subject property unless a
waiver/variance of said requirements or other legal relief is granted pursuant to the law in effect at the
time the change in use is sought.
10
F. Conclusions of Law
The proposed site plan is approved, if all of the Site Specific and Standard Conditions of Approval are
satisfied.
2. ACHD requirements are intended to assure that the proposed use/development will not place an
undue burden on the existing vehicular and pedestrian transportation system within the vicinity
impacted by the proposed development.

Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action
Request for Reconsideration of Commission Action: A Commissioner, a member of ACHD staff
or any other person objecting to any final action taken by the Commission may request
reconsideration of that action, provided the request is not for a reconsideration of an action previously
requested to be reconsidered, an action whose provisions have been partly and materially carried
out, or an action that has created a contractual relationship with third parties.
a. Only a Commission member who voted with the prevailing side can move for reconsideration,
but the motion may be seconded by any Commissioner and is voted on by all Commissioners
present.
If a motion to reconsider is made and seconded it is subject to a motion to postpone to a
certain time.
b. The request must be in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the Highway District no later
than 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to the Commission's next scheduled regular meeting following
the meeting at which the action to be reconsidered was taken. Upon receipt of the request,
the Secretary shall cause the same to be placed on the agenda for that next scheduled
regular Commission meeting.
c. The request for reconsideration must be supported by written documentation setting forth new
facts and information not presented at the earlier meeting, or a changed situation that has
developed since the taking of the earlier vote, or information establishing an error of fact or
law in the earlier action. The request may also be supported by oral testimony at the meeting.
