Existing Land Use(s) and Zoning: The annexation area consists of one rural residential property and one undeveloped property, both zoned RI in Ada County. B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: 1. North: Single-family residential properties and common area in Bellabrook Subdivision, zoned R-15 2. East: Property is currently in the development process as a self-service storage facility, zoned C -G 3. South: Single-family residential properties in Woodbridge Subdivision, zoned R-4 4. West: Single-family residential properties in Bellabrook Subdivision, zoned R-15 and S. Locust Grove Road C. History of Previous Actions: The subject property was split in 2003 without approval from Ada County Development Services (ROS #6325). The subject lands include both properties that were part of the 2003 split and is therefore considered a parcel for development. D. Utilities: 1. Location of sewer: Sanitary sewer mains to provide service to the proposed development currently exist at the east terminus of E. Kalispell Street. 2. Location of water: Water mains intended to provide service to the proposed development currently exist at the terminus of E. Kalispell Street and in S. Locust Grove Road. 3. Issues or concerns: Applicant shall be required to loop the proposed water system to the existing water main in S. Locust Grove Road via an extension through Lot 1, Block 1, and stub an 8 inch diameter main to the end of the east leg of the "snoopy" turnaround for potential future extension. Bellabrook East AZ -15-001; PP -15-001 PAGE 2 E. Physical Features: 1. Canals/Ditches Irrigation: There are some irrigation ditches that cross this site and the Fivemile Creek runs along the northeast corner of the site. 2. Hazards: Staff is not aware of any hazards that exist on this property. 4. Flood Plain: A portion of this site along the east property boundary lies within the Meridian Floodplain Overlay District. VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS Land Use: The subject property is designated Mixed Use - Community (MU -C) on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) contained in the Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of MU -C designated areas is to allocate areas where community -serving uses and dwellings are seamlessly integrated into the urban fabric. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses, including residential, and to avoid mainly single -use and strip commercial type buildings. All developments should have a mix of at least three land use types. Residential uses should comprise a minimum of 20% of the development area at densities ranging from 6 to 15 dwelling units per acre (d.u./acre). See Comprehensive Plan for more information (pages 27-29). The applicant proposes to annex the site with an R-15 zoning district and develop the western 2.14 acre portion of the site with 8 new single-family homes in addition to the existing home; no development is proposed on Lot 5, Block 2, the eastern 3 acre portion of the site, at this time. The gross density of the development area (not including Lot 5, Block 2) is 4.21 d.u./acre with a net density of 8.11 d.u./acre. The Comprehensive Plan does not list single-family residential developments as an appropriate use in MU -C designated areas; however, the R-15 zoning district is listed as a possible zoning choice, which allows single-family homes as a principal permitted use. Although the applicant is not proposing a mix of uses on this site, this property is part of larger area consisting of approximately 40 acres designated for MU -C uses. There are already a mix of uses in this area as follows: a daycare center to the west across Locust Grove; an existing church to the north of this site; property at the southwest corner of Franklin & Locust Grove Roads zoned R-40 which will most likely redevelop with multi -family residential uses; and the property at the southeast corner of Franklin & Locust Grove Roads which has received approval for a multi -family development. There are also several rural residential parcels within this area that when redeveloped, should contribute to the mix of uses in this area. Policies: 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): • "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." (3.07.01 E) The proposed medium density residential development should contribute to the variety of residential uses that exist in this area which currently consist of medium -density and rural low-density residential developments. • "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) No pedestrian pathways are stubbed to this site from adjacent developments, nor are any proposed with the subject plat. Due to the size of the development and the relatively short Bellabrook East AZ -15-001; PP -15-001 PAGE 3 block lengths, staff is not recommending a pathway connection to the east to Lot 5, Block 2 and a self-service storage facility is proposed at the east subdivision boundary making a pathway connecting unfeasible. A segment of the City's multi -use pathway is planned along the east side of the Fivemile Creek, per the Pathways Master Plan. • "Require street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance connectivity and better traffic flow." (3.03.03C) The proposed plat depicts a connection to the existing stub street, E. Kalispell Street, in Bellabrook Subdivision to the west for access via S. Locust Grove Road. A "snoopy " turn- around is proposed at the south end of S. Calabrese Avenue which will be extended to the east with future redevelopment of Lot 5, Block 2. • "Require new residential development to meet development standards regarding landscaping, signage, fences and walls, etc." (3.05.02C) Street buffer landscaping is required along S. Locust Grove Road, an arterial street, in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3B -7C. Separate permits shall be obtained for any new signage and fencing. • "Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels." (3.06.0IF) The proposed residential development should be compatible with the adjacent residential properties to the west and south. • "Require common area in all subdivisions." (3.07.02F) The proposed 5.14 acre development is required to provide a minimum of 10% (or 0.51 of an acre) qualified open space in accord with the requirements listed in UDCl1-3G-3. The landscape plan depicts a total of 0.56 of an acre of common area, which includes Lot 1, Block 1 where the emergency access driveway is located, and the landscaped common area on Lot 6, Block 2. The common area on Lot 1, Block 1 does not count toward the qualified open space requirements (see Analysis below for more information). The landscape plan should be revised accordingly. • "Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City." (3.01.0 IF) City services are available and will be extended by the developer upon development of the site in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. Analysis: The gross density of the proposed development at 4.21 dwelling units per acre is below the low-end of the desired density range of 6 to 15 d.u./acre in MU -C designated areas; and single-family residential uses are not typically desired in MU -C designated areas. However, because this site is surrounded by single-family residences in Bellabrook and Woodridge subdivisions, and a large area of the eastern portion of the site is within the floodplain, Staff feels the proposed density is appropriate. VIII. 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. 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 Bellabrook East AZ -15-001; PP -15-001 PAGE 4 high-density residential (R-15) district allows a maximum gross density of 15 dwelling units per acre. B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 11-2A-7 lists the principal permitted (P), accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the R-15 zoning district. Any use not explicitly listed, or listed as a prohibited use is prohibited. The proposed use of the site for single-family detached dwellings is a principal permitted use in the R-15 zoning district. C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site should be consistent with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Tables 11-2A-7 for the R-15 zoning district. D. Landscaping: Street buffer landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the standards listed in UDC Tables 11-2A-7 for the R-15 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 for annexation and zoning of 5.19 acres of land with an R-15 zoning district. As discussed above in Section VII, staff feels the proposed zoning is consistent with the corresponding FLUM designation of MU -C and the policies in the Comprehensive Plan as noted. The applicant proposes to develop 8 new single-family residential detached homes in addition to the existing home on the western 2.14 acre portion of the annexation area, as shown on the preliminary plat included in Exhibit A.2. The eastern 3 acre portion of the site is proposed as a single lot to be developed in the future. This property was previously divided through a record of survey without approval from Ada County. For this reason, the City is requiring both parcels to be annexed and included in a subdivision to legally subdivide the property. The eastern 3 acre portion of the site is owned by an adjacent home owner in Woodbridge Subdivision. 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. A conceptual development plan was submitted with this application that shows one possible way the eastern portion of the site may re -develop in the future with 12 single-family residential building lots. The owner of the property has no desire to develop his property at this time and would like to reserve the right to develop the property in the future in a manner consistent with the zoning regulations in place at that time. 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 as a provision of annexation with the provisions included in Exhibit B. 2. Preliminary Plat The proposed plat consists of 9 building lots, 2 common lots and 1 other lot on 5.14 acres of land in a proposed R-15 zoning district. No development is proposed on Lot 5, Block 2 at this time; a Bellabrook East AZ -15-001; PP -15-001 PAGE 5 conceptual development plan was submitted showing how this lot may possibly develop in the future (see Exhibit A.5). The gross density for the subdivision, excluding Lot 5, Block 2, is 4.21 d.u./acre with a net density of 8.11 d.u./acre. Lot sizes for new homes range in size from 3,979 to 5,073 s.f. Existing Structures: There is an existing home and outbuildings on the western 2.14 acre parcel. The home is proposed to remain on Lot 4, Block 2; the outbuildings are proposed to be removed. The existing home complies with the setback standards of the R-15 district. The outbuildings should be removed prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer. The existing home that is proposed to remain on Lot 4, Block 2 shall be required to hook up to City water and sewer service within 60 days of services being available per Meridian City Code 9-1-4 and 9-4-8. Applicant shall be responsible for the payment of all assessments and permit fees, as well as the physical work necessary to accomplish the connections. Dimensional Standards: Development of this site is required to comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-7 for the R-15 district and UDC I 1-2A-3. Staff has reviewed the proposed plat and found it to be in compliance with those standards. Block Length: The plat is required to comply with the block length standards listed in UDC 1I - 6C -3F. Staff has reviewed the proposed plat and found it to be in compliance with the aforementioned standards. Traffic Impact Study (TIS): A TIS was not required by ACHD for this development. Access: Access is proposed to this site via S. Locust Grove Road from an extension of E. Kalispell Street, an existing stub street in Bellabrook Subdivision at the west property boundary. A public street, S. Calabrese Avenue, is proposed for access within the development. An emergency access via S. Locust Grove Road is depicted on the plat on Lot 1, Block 1 at the southwest corner of the site. Removable bollards or a 20 -foot wide gate with a Knox padlock should be installed across the emergency access driveway to restrict access for emergency purposes only. The emergency access driveway via S. Locust Grove Road on Lot 1, Block 1 shall have a 20' wide improved surface capable of supporting an imposed load of 75,000 lbs. The driveway shall be marked in accordance with Appendix D Section D103.6 Signs. Stub Streets: A stub street, E. Kalispell Street, exists at the west boundary of this site and is proposed to be extended with development. A "snoopy" turn -around is proposed at the south boundary of the site. This roadway may extend to the east in the future. Parking: Off-street parking is required on each residential lot in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-6. Parking is restricted to one side of the street on E. Kalispell Street; no parking signs should be installed accordingly. Landscaping: A landscape plan was submitted with this application for the area proposed to be platted as shown in Exhibit A.4. All landscaping should comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B and 11-3G-3. A 25 -foot wide street buffer is required along S. Locust Grove Road, an arterial street, on Lot 1, Block 1, per UDC Table 11-2A-7. Landscaping within the street buffer is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3B -7C. Landscaping within the common areas is required in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3G -3E. The landscape plan should be revised to comply with these standards. Bellabrook East AZ -15-001; PP -15-001 PAGE 6 Tree Mitigation: If there are any existing trees on the site that are proposed to be removed, 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. Open Space: A minimum of 10% qualified open space is required to be provided for this development in accord with UDC 11 -3G -3A.1. Based on the area of the preliminary plat (5.14 acres), a minimum of 0.51 of an acre of qualified open space is required to be provided as set forth in UDC 11 -3A -3B. The plat depicts a total of 0.56 of an acre of common area consisting of the common lot (Lot 1, Block 1) on which the emergency access road is located and the landscaped common area on Lot 6, Block 2. Additional landscaping needs to be added in Lot 1, Block 1 in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3G -3E in order to count toward qualified open space; the plan should be revised accordingly. Site Amenities: All developments consisting of five acres of more are required to provide a minimum of one site amenity; one additional site amenity is required for each additional 20 acres per UDC 11 -3G -3A.2, in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3G -3C. Based on the area of the preliminary plat (5.14 acres), a minimum of one amenity is required to be provided. The applicant proposes a paved pathway along the Fivemile Creek as an amenity. Because the pathway is not required to be constructed until Lot 5, Block 2 develops at some time in the future, staff recommends another amenity is provided by the applicant with development of the western portion of the site. Parkways: Parkways are not proposed with this development. Pathways: The Pathways Master Plan depicts a regional pathway on this site along the east side of the Fivemile Creek. No pathways are depicted on the plans but the application states a pathway is proposed to be provided as an amenity along the Fivemile Creek. Sidewalks: Sidewalks are required along all public streets as set forth in UDC 11-3A-17. A minimum 5 -foot wide detached sidewalk is required along S. Locust Grove Road, an arterial street; the landscape plan should be revised accordingly. 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. 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. Waterways: There are some irrigation ditches that cross this site and the Fivemile Creek runs along the northeast corner of the site. Floodplain: A portion of this site along the east property boundary 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. Bellabrook East AZ -15-001; PP -15-001 PAGE 7 Building Elevations: The applicant has submitted three pictures of typical sample building elevations for future homes in this development, included in Exhibit A.4. Building materials appear to consist of a mix of horizontal and vertical siding and stucco with stone/brick accents. Because none of these homes will back up to an arterial or collector street or public space, staff does not recommend any changes to the proposed sample elevations. Fencing: All fencing should comply with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3A -6B and 11-3A-7. A small section of 6 -foot tall vinyl privacy fence is proposed to be constructed by the developer at the southwest corner of Lot 5, Block 2 as shown on the landscape plan. In summary, Staff recommends 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 with the findings contained in Exhibit C.

The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan; The Applicant is proposing to annex the subject 5.14 acre property with an R-15 zoning district and develop 8 new single-family residential homes (in addition to the existing home). The proposed use combined with existing uses in the area will contribute to the mix of uses desired in MU -C designated areas. Therefore, Staff finds that the proposed map amendment complies with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and should be compatible with adjacent residential, church and commercial uses (see section VII above for more information). b. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district, specifically the purpose statement; Staff finds that the proposed map amendment to the R-15 zoning district is consistent with the purpose statement for the residential districts as detailed in Section VIII above. c. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare; Staff finds that the proposed zoning map amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare. City utilities will be extended at the expense of the applicant.
