VI. LAND USE
A. Existing Land Use(s) & Zoning: This site consists of vacant/undeveloped land, zoned R-4.
B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning:
North: Offices, zoned L-O
South: Rural residential home, zoned RUT in Ada County
East: Single-family homes in Sutherland Farm Subdivision, zoned R-4
West: S. Eagle Road and single-family homes in Thousand Springs Subdivision, zoned R-4
C. History of Previous Actions:
In 2002, the subject property received the following approvals as part of the larger Sutherland
Farm development:
Annexation and zoning with an R-4 zoning district. A total of 127.74 acres of land was
annexed with the R-4, L-O and C-G zoning districts with the requirement of a development
agreement (DA), recorded as Instrument No. 102143307 (AZ-02-004, Ord. #02-982).
The DA was amended in 2004 to change the approved land use on 16.1 acres of land
preliminary platted as Lots 5, and 8-11, Block 1) from office/multi-family to single-family
residential (Sutherland Farm Subdivision No. 4) and the property was rezoned from R-4 to R-
8 (RZ-04-006; Inst. #104112888).
In 2014, the DA was amended again to remove the Citadel Storage property (preliminary
platted as Lots 3 and 4, Block 1) from the agreement (RZ-14-004; Inst. #2014-092383)];
EXHIBIT A
Bancroft Square - RZ, PP, CUP, MDA H-2016-0055 PAGE 4
Preliminary plat which encompassed the entire Sutherland Farm development and
consisted of a total of 308 building lots and 30 other lots on 127.64 acres of land (PP-02-
004);
Conditional use permit for a planned development which consisted of a mix of
residential, office and commercial uses [260 single-family residential detached lots, 32
single-family attached (townhome) lots, 11 office/multi-family residential lots, and 5
commercial lots] (CUP-02-005). The planned unit development conceptually approved
offices and multi-family housing as a land use exception in the R-4 zoning district under
Meridian City Code 12-6-3 in effect at that time; detailed approval of the planned
development through a conditional use permit is required prior to construction of the
office and multi-family structures. The office/multi-family uses were anticipated to
develop in the final two phases of development. There are no restrictions on the number
of units, square footage of structures, building height or number of stories that can be
constructed.
The conditional use permit was modified in 2004 (CUP-04-009) which eliminated 5 of the
office/multi-family lots (preliminary platted as Lots 5 and 8-11, Block 1) to the northeast and
added 47 new single-family residential building lots in their place at a gross density of
approximately 5 units/acre (Sutherland Farm Subdivision No. 4).
In 2014, the conditional use permit was modified again (CUP-14-007) which eliminated 2
more of the office/multi-family lots to the north and allowed the development of a self-service
storage facility (Citadel Storage) instead.
Of the 11 office/multi-family lots that were originally approved for such uses, only the subject
4 lots (Lots 3 and 4, Block 5 and Lots 11 and 12, Block 6 as depicted on the preliminary plat)
remain.]
The Findings approved by City Council in 2002 state, “It is found that the office/multiple-
family housing uses are strongly related to the primary use of the development (R-4). The
office uses will provide services (medical, dental, optical, etc.) that will be complementary to
the residents of the subdivision. The mixing of residential uses and commercial uses will
encourage the office development to be constructed in a manner that will be pedestrian
friendly. High-density housing will provide an immediate consumer base for the office
development.” (See findings for more information.)
In 2015, a rezone (RZ-15-012), preliminary plat (PP-15-016) and conditional use permit
CUP-15-017) application was submitted for an office and multi-family development
consisting of 2 commercial/office building lots; and 64 residential units on 3 building lots and
1 common lot in the R-15 zoning district on 5.41 acres of land on the subject property. This
application was withdrawn by the applicant prior to Council making a decision on the
application largely due to neighborhood opposition.
D. Utilities:
Location of sewer: A sanitary sewer main intended to serve the subject site exists directly to the
north in E. Easy Jet Drive.
Location of water: A water main intended to serve the subject site exists directly to the north in
north in E. Easy Jet Drive and to the east in S. Nephrite Way.
Issues or concerns: None
E. Physical Features:
1. Canals/Ditches Irrigation: There are a couple of irrigation ditches that cross this site.

Bancroft Square - RZ, PP, CUP, MDA H-2016-0055 PAGE 5
2. Hazards: Staff is unaware of any hazards that may exist on this site.
3. Flood Plain: This property does not lie within the floodplain or flood way.
VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
This site is designated Mixed Use – Community (MU-C) on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Map (FLUM).
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). Non-residential buildings should be proportional to and blend in with adjacent residential
buildings. See Comprehensive Plan for more information (pages 27-28).
The single-family portion of the site encompasses 5.41 acres of the 39+/- acres that make up the MU-
C designated area which results in approximately 14% residential uses for the overall area so far;
approximately 23 acres is yet to be redeveloped. As stated above, residential uses should comprise a
minimum of 20% of the MU-C development area. The proposed development consists of
approximately ¾ of that area which allows for additional residential uses to develop to the south.
The applicant proposes to rezone the site from the R-4 to the R-8 zoning district and develop the site
with 33 single-family detached residential units. The gross density for the development is 6.10
d.u./acre which is within the density desired in MU-C designated areas. Although single-family
developments are not listed as a sample use within the mixed use designation, nor is R-8 zoning listed
as an appropriate zoning district, the density falls within the density range desired in mixed use areas.
The previous development application for this site was for a multi-family development with R-15
zoning which is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan for mixed use areas; however, the
neighbors were adamantly opposed to that type of development and zoning. Therefore, staff is
supportive of the proposed development and believes it’s in the best interest of the City and its
residents provided that development complies with UDC standards.
The following items are considered when reviewing development applications in Mixed Use areas:
Staff’s analysis in italics)
Residential densities should be a minimum of 6 dwelling units/acre.” (pg. 23)
The proposed development is 6.10 dwelling units/acre.
Where feasible, higher density and/or multi-family residential development will be
encouraged, especially for projects with the potential to serve as employment, destination
centers and when the project is adjacent to US 20/26, SH-55, SH-16 or SH-69.” (pg. 23)
The proposed project provides for higher density residential development adjacent to S.
Eagle Road and employment uses to the north while providing a transition in density from the
lower density residential uses to the east and future mixed use development area to the south.
A mixed use project should include at least 3 types of land uses; exceptions may be granted
for smaller sites on a case by case basis.” (pg. 24)
The larger Sutherland Farm planned development is comprised of single-family attached and
detached residential homes, offices and a storage unit facility. The properties to the south of
E. Victory Road are designated as mixed use, which when re-developed should contribute to
the variety of uses in this area.

Bancroft Square - RZ, PP, CUP, MDA H-2016-0055 PAGE 6
All mixed use projects should be directly accessible to neighborhoods within the section by
both vehicles and pedestrians.” (pg. 24)
A centrally located stub street is proposed to the south for future interconnectivity and access
as well as to the east to S. Nephrite Way, a local street that abuts this site and Sutherland
Farm subdivision.
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)
Although staff is unaware of how “affordable” the proposed units will be, the medium density
development will contribute to the variety of lot sizes and prices for housing in this area.
Provide for a wide diversity of housing types (single-family, modular, mobile homes and
multi-family arrangements) and choices between ownership and rental dwelling units for all
income groups in a variety of locations suitable for residential development.” (3.07.03B, pg.
56)
The proposed single-family homes should contribute to the choice between ownership and
rental dwelling units in this area of the City.
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, pg. 45)
City services are available to be extended to this site with development.
Require appropriate landscaping and buffers along transportation corridor (setback,
vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)
A 25-foot wide landscaped street buffer is required along S. Eagle Road, a principal arterial
street; and a 10-foot wide street buffer already exists along E. Easy Jet Drive, a local street,
that should be maintained and protected during construction.
Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent
parcels.” (3.06.01F, pg. 53)
The proposed single-family residential development should be compatible with existing
single-family homes to the east and south.
Restrict private curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets.” (3.06.02D)
No access points are proposed via S. Eagle Road, an arterial street. One access point is
proposed via E. Easy Jet Drive, a local street, which also stubs to the property to the south;
and one access is proposed via S. Nephrite Way at the east boundary of the site.
Locate high-density development, where possible, near open space corridors or other
permanent major open space and park facilities, Old Town, and near major access
thoroughfares.” (3.07.02, pg. 55)
The proposed medium density development is located near major access thoroughfares [S.
Eagle Road and Interstate 84] and near a segment of the City’s regional pathway system that
runs along the Ridenbaugh Canal to the north.
Street sections consistent with the Ada County Highway District Master Street Map are
required within the UDC.” (pg. 24)
The proposed streets are consistent with ACHD’s Master Street Map.

A letter has been received from the Ada West School District commenting on this application. Based
on U.S. census data, the District estimates that when complete, this development will add
approximately 27 school aged children to the enrollment numbers of schools within the Ada West
district. The District estimates that the revenue required for the purchase of future school sites is
830.00 per new home which will create the need for $27,390.00 in revenue to purchase the school
sites this subdivision will require. In lieu of this revenue, the District will accept the donation of land
appropriate for a school site (see letter to the City dated May 23, 2016 for more information).
VIII. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
REZONE (RZ): The applicant proposes to rezone 6.54 acres of land from the R-4 to the R-8
zoning district for the development of 33 single-family residential homes with a density of 6.10
units per acre. A preliminary plat was submitted, included in Exhibit A.2, which depicts how the
site is proposed to develop.
As discussed above in Section VII, Staff is in favor of the zoning and density proposed for the
development.
The legal description submitted with the application, included in Exhibit C, shows the boundaries
of the property proposed to be rezoned.
The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction with a rezone pursuant to
Idaho Code section 67-6511A. To ensure the site develops as proposed and in accord with UDC
standards, staff recommends the existing DA is modified as a provision of the rezone and
includes the in Exhibit B.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT MODIFICATION (MCU): A modification to the previously approved
conditional use permit/planned development (CUP/PD) is requested by the applicant. The
previously approved CUP/PD (CUP-02-005) allowed for multi-family residential/office uses to
develop on the subject property as a use exception in the R-4 zoning district.
Because the adjacent neighbors were highly opposed to multi-family residential uses developing
on the site (i.e. Easy Jet apartments), the applicant proposes to change the land use previously
approved with the CUP/PD for this site to single-family residential at a density envisioned in the
Comprehensive Plan for mixed use designated areas.
For the reasons noted above in Section VII, staff is amenable to this change and feels it’s in the
best interest of neighboring residents.
PRELIMINARY PLAT (PP): A preliminary plat is proposed that consists of 33 residential building
lots and 5 common lots on 5.41 acres of land in a proposed R-8 zoning district.
Dimensional Standards: The lots in the proposed subdivision are required to comply with the
dimensional standards of the R-8 zoning district listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6. Staff has reviewed
the proposed plat and found it in compliance with these standards.
Access/Stub Streets: One centrally located access is proposed at the north boundary of the site
via E. Easy Jet Drive, which also stubs to the property to the south; and one access is proposed
via S. Nephrite Way at the east boundary of the site in accord with the access standards listed in
UDC 11-3A-3. Direct access via S. Eagle Road is not proposed and is prohibited.
EXHIBIT A
Bancroft Square - RZ, PP, CUP, MDA H-2016-0055 PAGE 8
Landscaping: Landscaped street buffers are required to be provided with development as set
forth in UDC Table 11-2A-6 in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. A minimum
25-foot wide buffer is required along Eagle Road, an arterial street; and no buffer is required
along local streets (i.e. Easy Jet, Nephrite, Girdner, or Titanium). A 15-foot wide buffer exists
along Easy Jet and a 50-foot wide buffer/common area exists along Nephrite between Girdner
and Easy Jet. The existing street buffers/common area should be protected during construction.
Landscaped 8-foot wide parkways are proposed along internal streets (i.e. Girdner and Titanium)
with detached 5-foot wide sidewalks. The proposed parkways comply with the standards listed in
UDC 11-3A-17E.
Landscaping is required along the pathway in Lot 3, Block 1 in accord with the standards listed in
UDC 11-3B-12C as proposed.
Common Open Space & Site Amenities: All new development is required to comply with the
qualified open space and site amenity requirements listed in UDC 11-3G-3 which requires a
minimum of 10% qualified open space and one site amenity for developments of this size.
The qualified open space proposed with this development is 0.43 of an acre or 7.9%. Because this
property was originally included in the preliminary plat and is still part of the planned
development for Sutherland Farm, the applicant requests this property be allowed to develop as
originally intended as the last phase of the Sutherland Farm development and that the qualified
open space and site amenities for the overall development be considered to cover this portion of
the site as well.
A total of 13.24 acres or 11.3% qualified open space has already been constructed within the
Sutherland Farm development along with the following site amenities: a ¾ mile regional pathway
along the Ridenbaugh Canal, a 5.9 acre park, a 2.5 acre park, tot lots, a gazebo, swing set and
horseshoe pits.
The applicant has discussed incorporating the subject property into the Sutherland Farm
Homeowner’s Association (HOA) with the HOA; however, an official agreement has not yet
been reached.
Because phased developments are typically reviewed for compliance with UDC standards
for the overall area and this property was originally intended to develop in the final two
phases, staff supports the applicant’s request provided that the Sutherland Farm HOA
agrees to allow this property to be incorporated into their HOA. If not, Staff recommends
the plat is revised to provide the full 10% qualified open space and one site amenity on this
site.
Fencing: A 6-foot tall vinyl fence is proposed along the back side of the street buffer along Eagle
Road and there is an existing 6-foot tall vinyl fence along the back side of the common area
adjacent to Nephrite Way. All fencing should comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-17.
Sidewalks/Pathways: Sidewalks are required to be constructed with development as set forth in
UDC 11-3A-17. Detached sidewalks are required along all collector and arterial streets (i.e. Eagle
Road) and attached sidewalks are required along local streets (i.e. Easy Jet, Nephrite, Girdner and
Titanium).
Attached sidewalks already exist along the frontage of this site on S. Eagle Road, E. Easy Jet
Drive and S. Nephrite Way; because the sidewalk along Eagle is in good condition, staff is not
recommending the sidewalk is reconstructed as a detached sidewalk. Detached sidewalks with
parkways are proposed along internal streets within this development.
A pathway is proposed through the common area on Lot 3, Block 1 for pedestrian access from the
development to the sidewalk along Eagle Road.
EXHIBIT A
Bancroft Square - RZ, PP, CUP, MDA H-2016-0055 PAGE 9
Waterways: There are a couple of irrigation ditches that cross this site; staff is unaware if
they’ve been piped. If not, they are required to be piped with development of the site as set forth
in UDC 11-3A-6.
Building Elevations: Conceptual building elevations for homes within this development have
been submitted as shown in Exhibit A.5. A variety of building materials are proposed as shown.
The homes are proposed to be single and two-story and range from 1,200 s.f. to 2,200 s.f. similar
to the elevations included in Exhibit A.5 and the sizes of homes in Sutherland Downs Subdivision
to the north.
Because homes on lots that back up to or face S. Eagle Road and E. Easy Jet Drive are going to
be highly visible, staff recommends the rear and/or sides of homes on lots that face or back up to
these roadways incorporate articulation through changes in materials, color, modulation, and
architectural elements (horizontal and vertical) to break up monotonous wall planes and roof
lines.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT MODIFICATION (MDA): A modification to the existing
development agreement for Sutherland Farm Subdivision, recorded as Instrument No.
102143307, is requested by the applicant to update the development plan for this site as
recommended by staff.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed RZ, PP, and CUP, and MDA with the conditions
included in Exhibit B.
