VI. LAND USE
A. Existing Land Use(s) and Zoning: This site consists of rural residential property, zoned RUT in
Ada County.
B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning:
1. North: Future single-family residential properties in Messina Meadows subdivision, zoned R-
8
2. East: Future single-family residential properties in Messina Meadows subdivision, zoned R-8;
and a rural residential property, zoned RUT in Ada County
3. South: E. Amity Road; and rural residential/agricultural property, zoned RUT in Ada County
4. West: Rural residential property, zoned RUT in Ada County
C. History of Previous Actions: None
D. Utilities:
1. Location of sewer: A sanitary sewer trunk main intended to provide service to the subject
property is currently in design through the Messina Meadows Subdivision No. 5 development
north of the subject property. This proposed project will construct the trunk sewer from the
point where Messina Meadows leaves off, and bring the trunk to and through to E. Amity
Road..
2. Location of water: Water mains intended to provide service to the subject property are
currently in design or under construction in E. Amity Road.
3. Issues or concerns: Development of this project is subject to the timing and installation of
sanitary sewer and water services as part of the Messina Meadows Subdivision No. 5, and
Whitebark/Southridge developments.
E. Physical Features:
1. Canals/Ditches Irrigation: There are no ditches that cross this site. However, the Ten Mile
Drain exists off-site along the northeast boundary and there is an irrigation easement for the
drain that lies on this site.
2. Hazards: Staff is not aware of any hazards that exist on this property.
4. Flood Plain: A portion of this site lies within the Meridian Floodplain Overlay District.
VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
LAND USE:
The subject property is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) on the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM) contained in the Comprehensive Plan.
The LDR designation allows for the development of single-family homes on large lots where urban
services are provided. Uses may include single-family homes at gross densities of three dwelling units
or less per acre.
The site is proposed to be zoned R-8 which allows a maximum gross density of 8 dwelling units per
acre. The proposed plat depicts an overall gross density of 2.89 dwelling units (d.u.) per acre, with a
net density of 3.2 d.u. per acre, consistent with the LDR FLUM designation for this site.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this application and apply to
the proposed use of this property (staff analysis in italics):
Castle Creek Sub AZ -14-009 & PP -14-009 PAGE 3
EXHIBIT A
• "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." (3.07.01E)
The proposed low density residential development should contribute to the variety of medium
density and rural residential uses that exist in this area of the City.
• "Require new residential development to meet development standards regarding landscaping,
signage, fences and walls, etc." (3.05.02C)
Street buffer landscaping is required adjacent to E. Amity Road, an arterial street, in accord
with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3B -7C. Separate permits shall be obtained for signage
and fencing. Fencing shall comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7.
• "Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent
parcels." (3.06.01 F)
The proposed low density residential development should be compatible with surrounding
residential and agricultural uses.
• "Require common area in all subdivisions." (3.07.02F)
The proposed plat depicts 1.88 acres of common open space area to be provided on the site
in accord with UDC requirements.
• "Review new development for appropriate opportunities to connect local roads and collectors
to adjacent properties (stub streets). (3.03.020)
The proposed plat depicts a stub street at the west property boundary for future extension and
interconnectivity.
• "Require pedestrian access connectors in all new development to link subdivisions together to
promote neighborhood connectivity as part of a community pathway system." (3.03.03B)
A 10 foot wide multi -use pathway is required along the northeast side of the Ten Mile Drain
which runs off-site near the northeast boundary of the site. Staffrecommends apathway
connection is provided at the southeast corner of this site across Lot 13, Block 2 f rom the
sidewalk along Amity Road north to the fidure pathway.
• "Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time
of final approval and development is contiguous to the City." (3.01.01F)
City services will be extended with the development of the site in accord with UDC 11-3A-21.
TRANSPORTATION:
The Master Street Map (MSM) contained in ACHD's South Meridian Transportation Plan depicts
a north/south residential collector street along the western boundary of the site between Messina
Meadows subdivision and Amity Road. Because a collector street is already planned east of this
site with Messina Meadows subdivision to Ustick Road and a stub street will be provided from
Messina Meadows to the parcel to the west for connection to Ustick Road, staff and ACRD do
not feel a collector street is necessary to be provided on this site. ACHD staff has approved a
modification of policy to allow the removal of this residential collector street from the MSM.
VIIL UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC)
A. Purpose Statement of Zone: 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.
Castle Creek Sub AZ -14-009 & PP -14-009 PAGE 4
EXHIBIT A
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. The medium
density residential (R-8) district allows a maximum gross density of 8 dwelling units per acre.
B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 11-2A-6 lists 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 detached dwellings is a principal permitted use in the R-8 zoning district.
C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site should be consistent with the dimensional
standards listed in UDC Tables 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 Tables 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district.
E. Off -Street Parking: Off-street parking is required in accord with UDC Table 11-3C-6 for single-
family dwellings.
IX. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
1. Annexation & Zoning
The applicant has applied to annex and zone a total of 6.97 acres of land with an R-8 zoning
district. As discussed above in Section VII, the proposed density is consistent with the
corresponding FLUM designation of LDR. Due to the irregular shape of the property and the
large area that lies within an irrigation easement for the Ten Mile Drain, staff feels the R-8 zoning
is appropriate for dimensional standard purposes because the overall density falls within the range
for LDR designated areas.
The applicant proposes to develop 19 single-family homes on the site as shown on the
preliminary plat in Exhibit A.2.
The legal description submitted with the application, included in Exhibit C, shows the boundaries
of the property proposed to be annexed and rezoned. The property is contiguous to land that has
been annexed into the City and is within the Area of City Impact boundary.
The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant
to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. In order to ensure the site develops as proposed with this
application, staff recommends a DA is required as a provision of annexation with the provisions
included in Exhibit B.
Because the FLUM designation for this property is LDR, which allows for densities of up to 3
dwelling units per acre and the proposed gross density is 2.89 dwelling units per acre, Staff finds
the proposed R-8 zoning is appropriate for this property. Because of the irregular shape of this
site and the large area that is covered by the irrigation easement for the Ten Mile Drain, the R-8
district is requested rather than the R-4 district for relief from dimensional standards.
2. Preliminary Plat
The proposed plat consists of 19 single-family residential building lots and 5 common area lots
on 6.58 acres of land in a proposed R-8 zoning district. The average lot size in the proposed
development is 8,045 square feet. The plat is proposed to develop in one phase.
Dimensional Standards: The proposed plat is required to comply with the dimensional standards
listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6 for the R-8 district. Lots 2 and 3, Block 2 need to be revised to
Castle Creek Sub A7-14-009 & PP -14-009 PAGE 5
1W40611 1'31II_1
reflect 50 feet of street frontage; all other lots comply with the required dimensional standards.
Building height and setbacks should comply with the standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6.
Block Length: The proposed plat complies with the maximum block length standards listed in
UDC 11 -6C -3F.
Existing Structure(s): There is an existing home on the site that is proposed to be removed. This
structure should be removed prior to City Engineer signature on the final plat.
Access: Access to this site is proposed on the plat via one public street access to E. Amity Road;
direct lot access to E. Amity Road is prohibited. A stub street is depicted on the plat at the west
boundary for future extension and interconnectivity.
A connection over the Ten Mile Drain is not required on this site as Messina Meadows
Subdivision No. 5 northeast of this site is required to provide a connection to the property to the
west of this site.
Common Driveway: Common driveways are required to comply with the standards listed in
UDC I1 -6C -3D. A common driveway is proposed for access to Lots 5, 7 and 8, Block 1. The
driveway meets the required dimensional standards. Construction of the common driveway shall
comply with the standards listed in UDC 11 -6C -3D.
An exhibit showing the setbacks and building envelopes for the lots using the common driveway
is included in Exhibit AA as required by UDC 11 -6C -3D.7. Staff approves of the proposed
setbacks and orientation of the lots and structures shown.
Utilities: Street lighting is required to be installed within the development in accord with the
City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. All development is required to connect
to the City water and sewer system unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer in accord
with UDC 11-3A-21.
The developer plans to extend the sewer trunk line from Messina Meadows subdivision to and
through this development and to Amity Road and has submitted a request for reimbursement of
oversizing and/or over -digging costs associated with this sewer trunk line. See letter submitted
with this application.
Pressurized Irrigation (PI): An underground PI system is required to be provided to each lot in
the subdivision as proposed in accord with UDC 11-3A-15.
Storm Drainage: A storm drainage system is required for the development in accord with the
City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction shall follow best
management practice as adopted by the City in accord with UDC 11-3A-18. A storm drainage
pond is depicted on Lot 12, Block 2.
Landscaping: A landscape plan was submitted with this application for the area proposed to be
platted as shown in Exhibit A.3.
A minimum 25 -foot wide street buffer is required along E. Amity Road as proposed. Landscaping
within the street buffer is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3B -7C. The
landscaping shown on the plat complies with UDC standards.
If the unimproved street right-of-way along E. Amity Road is 10 feet or greater from edge of
pavement to edge of sidewalk or property line, and street widening project is not in ACHD's five
year funded plan, the developer is required to maintain a 10 -foot wide compacted gravel shoulder
meeting ACHD construction standards and landscape the remainder with lawn or other vegetative
ground cover, per UDC 11 -3B -7C.5. The landscape plan should be revised to comply with this
requirement.
Castle Creek Sub AZ -14-009 & PP -14-009 PAGE 6
EXHIBIT A
At a minimum, common open space areas are required to include one deciduous tree per 8,000
square feet of common open space, per UDC 11 -3G -3E. Because all of the common open space
area except for the street buffer is encompassed by sewer main and irrigation easements, it's not
feasible to plant trees in these areas. There are several existing trees on the site that may be
allowed to count toward the requirement or the common area on Lot 12, Block 2 may need to be
widened to allow trees to be planted outside of the easement/drainage area. The applicant should
include a calculations table on the landscape plan submitted with the final plat application
detailing how many caliper inches of trees are being retained on the site in relation to those
required.
Tree Mitigation: The landscape plan depicts several existing trees on the site that are proposed
to be removed as well as several that are proposed to remain. The applicant should contact Elroy
Huff, City Arborist, at 888-3579 to schedule an appointment to confirm mitigation requirements
prior to removal of any trees on the site. Mitigation information shall be included on a revised
landscape plan submitted with the final plat application in accord with UDC 11 -3B -10C.5.
Open Space & Site Amenities: Based on the area of the preliminary plat (6.58 acres), a
minimum 0.66 of an acre (or 10%) of open space is required to be provided on the site per UDC
I1 -3G -3A in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3G -3B.
The plat depicts 1.88 acres (or 28.5%) qualified open space consisting of %z the street buffer along
Amity Road (5,650.5 sq. t1.). and interior open space on Lot 6, Block 1 (8,401 sq. ft.) and Lots 12
(13,904 sq. ft.) and 13 (53,744 sq. ft.), Block 2. Because the open space on Lot 6, Block 1
consists largely of a common driveway and is not accessible to all residents of the development,
this area is not allowed to be included as qualified open space. Additionally, the drainage swale
on Lot 12, Block 2 must be constructed in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-11 C in
order to count toward the qualified open space. Without these areas, a total of 59,394.5 sq. ft. (or
1.36 acres) of qualified open space is still proposed which is over the twice the amount of open
space required.
Per UDC 11 -3G -3B, a minimum of one site amenity is required in accord with the standards
listed in UDC 11 -3G -3C. The applicant is proposing an additional 5% open space as an amenity
in accord with UDC requirements.
Sidewalks: Sidewalks are required along all public streets as set forth in UDC 11-3A-17. A
minimum 5 -foot wide detached sidewalk is proposed along E. Amity Road and 5 -foot wide
attached sidewalks are proposed along the internal street (E. Fonthill Street) in accord with UDC
requirements.
Pathways: There is a section of the City's regional pathway system designated on the Master
Pathways Plan along Amity Road and along the northeast boundary of this site along the Ten
Mile Drain.
The pathway along the drain is being constructed with Messina Meadows subdivision on the east
side of the drain. The Park's Department is allowing the 5 -foot wide detached sidewalk required
along Amity Road to satisfy the pathway requirement. Staff recommends a 10 -foot wide multi-
use pathway is constructed at the southeast corner of the site from the sidewalk along Amity Road
north to the future multi -use pathway to be constructed with Messina Meadows Subdivision No.
5. A pedestrian easement is required to be submitted to the City for approval by City Council and
subsequent recordation.
Waterways: No irrigation ditches cross this site. The Ten Mile Drain runs off site along the
northeast boundary of the site. A substantial easement for the drain exists along the rear lot lines
in Block 2; the easement should be labeled on the plat. No structures other than fences may be
built within this easement without approval from the easement holder. A license agreement
Castle Creek Sub AZ -14-009 & PP -14-009 PAGE 7
EXHIBIT A
should be obtained from Nampa Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) for the lots that encroach
within the easement area.
Floodplain: A portion of this site along the northeast property line adjacent to the Ten Mile Drain
lies within the Meridian Floodplain Overlay District. Prior to any development occurring in the
Overlay District a floodplain permit application, including hydraulic and hydrologic analysis is
required to be completed and submitted to the City and approved by the Floodplain Administrator
per MCC 10-6.
Building Elevations: The applicant has submitted conceptual building elevations for the future
homes in this development, included in Exhibit A.S. Building materials are proposed to consist of
architectural shingles, three different types of siding, with stone accents.
Because homes on lots that back up to E. Amity Road will be highly visible, staff recommends
the rear or sides of structures on these lots that face Amity Road incorporate articulation through
changes in materials, color, modulation, and architectural elements (horizontal and vertical) to
break up monotonous wall planes and roof lines.
Fencing: A 6 -foot tall vinyl fence is proposed along the south (along Amity Road) and west
(from the southwest corner of the site to E. Foothill Street) boundaries of this site. A 4 -foot tall
vinyl fencing is proposed along the northeast boundary of the site adjacent to the Ten Mile Drain
and along the west boundary of the site north of E. Foothill Street. All fencing should comply
with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3A -6B and 11 -3A-7.
In summary, Staffrecommends approval of the proposed annexation and preliminary plat request
for this site with a development agreement and the recommended conditions listed in Exhibit B of
this report in accord ivith the findings contained in Exhibit C.
