HomeMy WebLinkAboutStaff ReportItem #4D: Irvine Subdivision (PP-12-018) Application(s): - Preliminary Plat Size of property, existing zoning, and location: This site consists of 38.5 acres, is currently zoned R-8, and is located at SEC of Chinden Boulevard and N. Ten Mile Road. Adjacent Land Use & Zoning: North: Chinden Boulevard (SH 20/26) and Spurwing Golf Course, zoned RUT in Ada County East: Silverleaf Subdivision and County residence, zoned R-4 and RUT in Ada County South: Silverleaf Subdivision, zoned R-4 West: N. Ten Mile Road and Agricultural land, zoned RUT History: In 2005, this property was annexed and preliminarily platted as the Irvine Subdivision. The plat consisted of 175 single-family residential lots and 12 common lots on 38.5 acres but has since expired. A development agreement was not required with the annexation of the property. In 2008, City Council denied the time extension because the plat did not meet the 10% open space requirements in UDC 11-3G. Summary of Request: The proposed preliminary plat consists of 145 residential building lots and 12 common on 38.5 acres of land in an R-8 zoning district. The proposed gross density of the subdivision is 3.77 dwelling units per acre consistent with the R-8 zoning district. The minimum lot size proposed is 5,500 square feet with an average lot size of 6,700 square feet consistent with the minimum R-8 district requirement. All lots must comport to the R-8 dimensional standards set forth in UDC 11-2A. The plat is proposed to develop in 5 phases. The north and south side of Block 8 and north side of Block 12 exceed the maximum block length requirements by approximately 230 linear feet. Staff is processing a UDC text amendment to the block length requirements listed in UDC 11-6C-3F. If this happens, the proposed block lengths may conform to the new standards. However, if a UDC amendment is not approved, staff recommends development of the plat comply with the block length standards in effect at the time of final plat submittal. Access: The main access to the development is proposed from N. Ten Mile Road and no access is proposed from Chinden Boulevard. The internal street layout provides adequate intemal connectivity and extends existing stubs streets from the south and east boundary. In addition, several stub streets are planned to the Ada County parcels abutting the west and east boundary. Landscaping: UDC 11-2A-6 requires a 35-foot wide street buffer along Chinden Boulevard and N. Ten Mile Road. On the submitted plat, the applicant depicts a 45-foot wide common lot adjacent to Chinden Boulevard and a 35-foot wide common lot adjacent to N. Ten Mile Road. Although the buffer width along Chinden exceeds the minimum require by the UDC, the wider lot is proposed to provide adequate buffering between the state highway and the single family homes in accord with the noise abatement requirements of the UDC. For this reason, the plat has been conditioned to construct the 45-foot wide street buffer as proposed. Said buffers must be constructed in accord with UDC 11-3B-7C and maintained by the homeowners association. Open Space: The plat depicts 10.7% (or 4.08 acres) of eligible open space in compliance with. UDC standards. Proposed open space consists of 1.5 acre central park, six ((i) passive open space lots meeting or exceeding the 50' x 100' square feet, 50% arterial street buffers and a micropath. Planned amenities include amulti-use pathway along Chinden, a tot lot within the central park which that includes a walking path, a sitting area and playground equipment to be constructed with phase two. Staff is amenable to the development of the central park with second phase of development. Further, staff is requiring a covered picnic area to be included in the park. Building Elevations: The submitted elevations provide mix of building materials, covered porches and varying roof planes and decorative corbels and shutters. Future homes constructed within the subdivision must comply with the elevations attached in the staff report.

History of Previous Actions: • In 2005, this property was annexed and zoned (AZ-OS-038) and preliminarily platted (PP-OS- 037) as the Irvine Subdivision. The plat consisted of 175 single-family residential lots and 12 common lots on 38.5 acres but has since expired. A conditional use permit (CUP-OS-039) was submitted concurrently to allow reduced frontages, minimum lot sizes, zero side yard setbacks and extended block lengths and later was withdrawn. A development agreement was not required with the annexation of the property. • A final plat (FP-06-029) for Irvine Subdivision No. 1 was approved in 2006 but was never recorded. • A time extension (TE-07-010) was approved by the Director in 2007. • In 2008, aCouncil-review time extension (TE-08-017) was denied by the City Council because the plat did not meet the 10% open space requirements in UDC 11-3G. D. Utilities: 1. Public Works: a. Location of sewer: This development lies within the North Black Cat service area. However mains do not currently exist between the North Black Cat Trunk in Black Cat Road and N. Ten Mile Road. Temporary service may be possible to the Silverleaf Lift Station. Applicant would be required to verify capacity, and make any necessary upgrades to accommodate this new development. b. Location of water: Domestic water mains to provide service to this development exist near the SW corner of the development in Ten Mile Road, as well as two existing stubs into the property from adjacent developments. Applicant will be responsible to extend mains to and through this proposed site. Irvine PP-12-018 PAGE 2 c. Issues or concerns: None E. Physical Features: 1. Canals/Ditches Irrigation: The Simpson Lateral bisects the property and should be tiled with the development of the site. 2. Hazards: Staff is not aware of any hazards that exist on this property. 3. Flood Plain: This property does not lie within a floodplain or floodway. VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS This property is designated Medium Density Residential (MDR) on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The MDR designation allows smaller lots for residential purposes within City limits. Uses may include single-family homes at densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The applicant proposes to develop the site with 145 single-family residential lots. The gross density of the proposed plat is 3.77 dwelling units per acre which falls within the target density of the MDR designation and below the R-8 district maximum density. Further, the proposed density is consistent with the adjacent Silverleaf Subdivision which developed with a gross density of 3 dwelling units per acre. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this application and the proposed use of this property (staff analysis in italics): • Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all public services. (6.02.O1B, Chapter 6, page 84) 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: - The lands are currently being serviced by the Meridian Fire Department (MFD). - The lands are currently being 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 #2. This service will not change. - The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian Library District. This service will not change. Municipal, fee-supported, services are available from 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 Republic Services. • Require usable open space to be incorporated into new residential subdivision plats(3.07.02A, Chapter 3, page 55) The UDC (11-3G-3) requires a minimum of 10% qualified open space for the plat. The proposed plat depicts 10.7% eligible open space (or 4.08 acres) which meets the requirements of the UDC. Qualifying open space includes 1.52 acre park, a linear open space/green belt, and street buffers. • "Provide housing options close to employment and shopping centers. (3.07.02D, Chapter 3, page 55) Irvine PP-12-018 PAGE 3 The proposed residential development will provide housing opportunities in close proximity to a proposed Walmart and an existing shopping center at the northeast corner of Chinden Boulevard and Linder Road. Future employment uses are also planned within one mile southwest of this site. • Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City (3.01.O1F, Chapter 3, page 45). The subject property is within the City and urban services are available to be extended to the site. • Encourage and promote the preservation and expansion of Chinden Boulevard (US 20/26) by ITD (3.03.02L, Chapter 3, page 48). The applicant has coordinated with ITD on the preservation of right of way (ROW) along the Chinden corridor. The total ROW needed for this segment of corridor is 140 feet. The submitted plans depict the 30 feet of additional (70 feet total from centerline) ROW (see ITD's comments in Exhibit B). • Require street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance connectivity and better traffic flow. (3.03.03C, Chapter 3, page 48) Two stub streets developed with the adjacent Silverleaf Subdivision will be extended with the development of the property. Further, the applicant is proposing stub streets to the Ada County parcels located along the east and southwest boundaries. • Require landscape street buffers for new development along all entryway corridors.(2.01.02E, page 13) A 35 foot wide landscape buffer will be required along N. Ten Mile Road and Chinden Boulevard, both designated entryway corridors. These landscape buffers must be developed in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C Landscape Buffers along Streets. • Support a variety of residential categories (low-, medium-, medium-high and high-density single- family, multi-family, townhouses, duplexes, apartments, condominiums, etc.) for the purpose of providing the City with a range of affordable housing opportunities (Chapter 3, page 54). The subject property is designated medium density residential on the Comprehensive Plan. The existing zoning is consistent with the land use designation. Further, the applicant intends to develop the property with single family homes. The property is situated around the Silverleaf Subdivision which is also developed with single family homes. The lots sizes proposed with subdivision are comparable to the surrounding subdivision and so is the proposed gross density of 3.77 dwelling units to the acre. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed subdivision does provide a variety of housing choices and a range of affordability in the area. For the above stated reasons, staff is of the opinion the proposed project is consistent with the goals and objectives in the Comprehensive Plan. VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC) A. Purpose Statement of Zone(s): Per UDC 11-2A-1, the purpose of the residential districts is to provide for a range of housing opportunities consistent with the Meridian comprehensive plan. 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. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 11-2A-21ists the principal permitted (P), accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the R-8 zoning district. Any use not explicitly listed, or listed as a prohibited use is prohibited. The proposed use of the property for single-family dwellings is a principal permitted use in the R-8 zoning district. Irvine PP-12-018 PAGE 4 C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site must be consistent with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district. D. Landscaping: Street buffer landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district. IX. ANALYSIS A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: PRELIMINARY PLAT: The proposed preliminary plat consists of 145 residential building lots and 12 common on 38.5 acres of land in an R-8 zoning district. The proposed gross density of the subdivision is 3.77 dwelling units per acre consistent with the R-8 zoning district. The plat is proposed to develop in 5 phases. A majority of the planned open space will develop with the second phase. A recommended condition of approval requires the central park to be constructed in accord with the phasing plan. Dimensional Standards: Staff has reviewed the proposed plat for compliance with the applicable standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district and all of the lots appear to meet those standards. All lots must comport to the R-8 dimensional standards set forth in UDC 11-2A. The minimum lot size proposed is 5,500 square feet with an average lot size of 6,700 square feet consistent with the minimum R-8 district requirement of 5,000 square feet. The UDC (11-6C-3F) does not allow block faces to be more than 750 feet in length without an intersecting street or alley. The only exception is when the block design is constrained by an abutting arterial street, limited access street, steep slopes, a large waterway and/or a large irrigation facility. In such case, the City Council may approve a pedestrian connection in lieu of a connecting street or alley. City Code does not allow for a waiver to the pedestrian connection. The north and south side of Block 8 and north side of Block 12exceed the maximum block length requirements by approximately 2301inear feet. The portion of Block 12 is constrained by a limited access street (Chinden Boulevard). In lieu of the public street connection the applicant has provided the pedestrian connection. The UDC restricts access to state facilities to the half-mile and mile marks. Given the conflict with requirement of the ordinance, staff believes the proposed micopath adequately breaks up the block length. The portion of Block 8 is not constrained however; the plat design includes a 1.5 acre park to serve the development. A pedestrian connection is proposed that connects both the block faces. Because the design of the this block is not constrained as described in the UDC above, an intersecting street or alley is currently required. However, staff is contemplating submitting a UDC text amendment to the block length requirements listed in UDC 11-6C- 3F. If this happens, the proposed block lengths may conform to the new standards. However, if a UDC amendment is not approved, staff recommends development of the plat comply with the block length standards in effect at the time of submittal of the first final plat application. Access: UDC 11-3A-3 limits access points to collector and arterial roadways. The main access to the development is proposed from N. Ten Mile Road and no access is proposed from Chinden Boulevard. The internal street layout provides adequate internal connectivity and extends existing stubs streets from the south and east boundary. In addition, several stub streets are planned to the Ada County parcel abutting the west and east boundary. Staff is supportive of the proposed street layout. Irvine PP-12-018 PAGE 5 Multi-Use Pathway: Amulti-use pathway is required to be constructed on this site along Chinden Boulevard (SH 20/26) within a public use easement in accord with UDC 11-3H-4C.4. A multi-use pathway is not depicted on the landscape plan. The applicant must amend the plan to include a 10 foot pathway with a final plat application. Noise Abatement: Noise abatement in the form of a berm or berm and wall combination is required for residential uses along state highways, per UDC 11-3H-4D. The landscape plan depicts a berm adjacent to Chinden Boulevard (SH 20/26). The applicant should include on the revised landscape across-section of the berm (or berm/wall combination) in relation to the centerline of SH 20/26 demonstrating compliance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3H-4D. Landscaping: UDC 11-2A-6 requires a 35-foot wide street buffer along Chinden Boulevard and N. Ten Mile Road. On the submitted plat, the applicant depicts a 45-foot wide common lot adjacent to Chinden Boulevard and a 35-foot wide common lot adjacent to N. Ten Mile Road. Although the buffer width along Chinden exceeds the minimum require by the UDC, the wider lot is proposed to provide adequate buffering between the state highway and the single family homes. For this reason, the plat has been conditioned to construct the 45-foot wide street buffer as proposed. Said buffers must be constructed in accord with UDC 11-3B-7C and maintained by the homeowners association. Additional right-of--way (ROW) is being dedicated adjacent to N. Ten Mile Road and Chinden Boulevard via the plat. If said ROW is not part of road agencies 5 year work program, the applicant is responsible for maintaining a 10-foot wide compacted shoulder and landscape the remainder with lawn or other vegetative ground cover. The landscape improvement within the ROW requires a license agreement with the transportation agency. The submitted landscape plan complies with this requirement of the UDC. Open Space: Per UDC 11-3G-3A, a minimum of 10% of the gross land area of the development is required to be provided in common open space. Based on the total acreage of the proposed plat, 38.5 acres, a minimum of 3.85 acres open space is required to be provided on the site per UDC 11-3G-3A.1 in accord with the qualifications listed in UDC 11-3G-3B. The plat depicts 10.7% (or 4.08 acres) of eligible open space in compliance with UDC standards. Proposed open space consists of 1.5 acre central park, six (6) passive open space lots meeting or exceeding the 50' x 100' square feet, 50% arterial street buffers and a micropath. Site Amenities: Per UDC 11-3G-3A.2, one additional site amenity that meets the standards set forth in UDC11-3G-3C is required for each additiona120 acres of development area. Based on the total acreage of the proposed plat, 38.5 acres, a minimum of two (2) amenities are required to be provided on this site. As amenities for the subdivision, the applicant is proposing a tot lot within the central park which that includes a walking path, a sitting area and playground equipment to be constructed with phase two. Staff recommends the applicant increase the usability of the park by incorporating a covered picnic shelter. At the time of final plat submittal, the applicant shall revise the landscape plan and include a detail of said amenities. Staff is amenable to the development of the central park with second phase of development. Waterways: Per UDC 11-3A-6A, all ditches, laterals, and canals within the site are required to be piped or otherwise covered. The Simpson Lateral bisects the subject property and is to be relocated and tiled with the development of the site. The easement area will be improved with a linear open space to provide an attractive streetscape. Staff recommends the applicant install the required street trees within the 10 foot parkway along the south side of W. Sunny Cove Street. Fencing: The applicant has submitted a fence detail for the proposed subdivision. It appears the proposed fence material is dog-eared cedar. All fencing must comply with the fencing standards Irvine PP-12-018 PAGE 6 outlined in UDC 11-3A-7. The applicant shall depict fencing in accord with this requirement on the landscape plan submitted with the final plat. Sidewalks: The applicant is proposing to construct 5-foot wide attached sidewalks along all of the internal/local streets except for the south side of W. Sunny Cove Street. The UDC requires 5- foot wide detached sidewalks along N. Ten Mile Road. A mentioned above, a 10-foot pathway is required along Chinden Boulevard. Building Elevations: Elevations were submitted with the subject application. Staff has created a collage that represents the proposed home designs for the development. Staff is supportive of the proposed mix of building materials, covered porches and varying roof planes and decorative corbels and shutters. Although, single family homes are not required to obtain design review approval, the Meridian Design Manual encourages similar building materials and mix of materials be incorporated into all sides of the future homes, specifically, for those facades that face a public street and common open space. The applicant should keep this in mind when designing homes on corner lots and adjacent to the park. In general staff is supportive of the home design submitted with the application. Future homes constructed within the subdivision must comply with the elevations attached in Exhibit A.4 below. In summary, Staff recommends approval of the proposed preliminary plat with the recommended conditions listed in Exhibit B of this report in accord with the findings contained in Exhibit C. X.

ADA COUNTY HIGHWAY DISTRICT (COMMENTS FORTHCOMING) 8. IDAHO TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT 8.1 ITD's corridor plan requires a minimum of 70-ft ofright-of--way as measured from the section line in US 20-26. The supplied plat drawing appears to show the existing 40-ft ofright-of--way plus an additiona130-ft for a future right-of--way acquisition. Then plat appears to meet ITD minimum right-of--way requirements. 8.2 The 70-ft half-width allows the minimum width for a future six-lane roadway but requires that the City's sidewalks are located within the right-of--way. ITD does not require sidewalks abutting the state highways. Locating the City's sidewalk outside of the right-of--way would simplify the future roadway plans and minimizes the cost of surface water drainage. 8.3 ITD has an access management plan for US 20-26 (Chinden Boulevard). The Irvine site plan does not include any access to new US 20-26. The applicant's site does not appear to affect ITD's access management plans. 8.4 ITD has no immediate project to widen US 20-26 although the long term corridor plan is to provide a four and then six-lane roadway. No construction year has been assigned, but the extension of SH-16 between SH-44 and US 20-26 will certainly accelerate any future construction program. 8.5 The proposed residential land use creates a relatively small site-generated trip volume. This has an important impact on the regional roadway system. The Irvine subdivision is all single family homes. This type of development separates homes from employment opportunities and increases the average journey-to-work and home-to-shopping trip distance. Although the trip generation this project is relatively small, the cumulative impact of such subdivisions will certainly increase regional travel demand and necessitate additional investment in the transportation system. These development plans incur a regional cost to expand the roadway network. This site's location on the regional highway system could have provided some benefit in improving accessibility and reducing both travel distance and the number of trips. Irvine PP-12-018 PAGE 19 C. Required Findings from Unified Development Code Preliminary Plat Findings: In consideration of a preliminary plat, combined preliminary and final plat, or short plat, the decision-making body shall make the following findings: a. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and is consistent with this Unified Development Code; Staff finds that the proposed plat is in substantial compliance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan in regard to land use, transportation, and circulation. However, the proposed plat is not in compliance with the current block length requirements of the UDC. b. Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to accommodate the proposed development; Staff finds that public services are available and will continue to be provided to the subject property. See Exhibit B of the Staff Report for more details from public service providers. c. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the City's capital improvement program; Because City water and sewer and any other utilities will be provided by the developer at their own cost, Staff finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital improvement funds. d. There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development; Some services are already being provided to the subject development. Staff finds there is public financial capability of supporting and continuing services for/to this development. e. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare; and Staff is not aware of any health, safety, or environmental problems associated with the platting of this property that should be brought to the Council or Commission's attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council consider any public testimony that may be presented to when determining whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or environmental problems of which Staff is unaware. f. The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features. Staff does not find there are any significant natural, scenic or historic features that will be lost with development of the site. Irvine PP-12-018 PAGE 20
