B. Public Hearing for Twelve Oaks (H-2016-0100) by Twelve

Multi-Family Development Consisting of Twenty-
Four (24) Dwelling Units in the C-C Zoning District
Yearsley: And so with that we would like to open the public hearing on file
number H-2016-0100, Twelve Oaks, and let's begin with the staff report.
Allen: Thank you, Chairman Yearsley, Members of the Commission. The
application before you is a request for a conditional use permit. This site is
zoned C-C and is located on the south side of West Franklin Road , west of South
Linder Road. Adjacent land use and zoning. To the south is future residential,
multi-family and duplex units, in Twelve Oaks, the same development as the
proposed units are, zoned TN-R. To the east commercial property in Twelve
Oaks, zoned C-C and rural residential agricultural property, zoned R-1 in Ada
county. To the west is future commercial property zoned C-C and multi-family
residential properties zoned TN-R. To the north is West Franklin Road and
industrial uses, zoned L -- excuse me -- I-L and future commercial uses zoned C-
C. A modification to the development agreement for this property was recently
approved to update the development plan for this site to accommodate the
proposed development. That has been approved by Council and is in the
process of getting signed and recorded. The Comprehensive Plan future land
use map designation for this site is mixed-use commercial, with medium high-

density residential on the southern portion. The applicant is requesting a
conditional use permit for three eight-plex multi-family structures that lie within
the C-C zoning district as required by the UDC. These structures are part of a
larger multi-family residential development that is proposed consisting of a total
of 106 dwelling units. The other structures consist of five eight-plexes, two 12-
plexes, nine duplexes and a clubhouse that are located in the TN-R district and
do not require conditional use approval. The gross density of the overall
development is 13.86 dwelling units per acre and is consistent with that desired
in mixed-use commercial and medium high-density residential designated areas.
The overall site plan and landscape plan are shown here. The units that are
requesting conditional use approval are indicated with an arrow here. Those are
the ones that are in the C-C district. As you can see from the zoning on this
property, this is how the TN-R district is here and the C-C zoning here. A
driveway access is proposed via West Franklin Road -- right here where the
arrow is -- for the proposed development. At 25 foot wide street buffer on West
Franklin Road already exists on the site in accord with UDC standards next to the
sidewalk. Conceptual building elevations were submitted as shown for the
proposed multi-family structures, the garage and the carport structures. Building
materials consist of stucco and vertical siding. The proposed site plan and
elevations comply with those approved with the recently amended development
agreement. Staff does recommend the one certificate of zoning compliance and
design review application as submitted for the overall development, so it can be
reviewed as a whole to ensure compliance with UDC standards. Written
testimony has been received from Jim Jewett, the applicant, in response to the
staff report. Staff is recommending approval with conditions. Staff will stand for
any questions.
Yearsley: Thank you. Are there any questions? No? With that would the
applicant like to come forward.
Allen: Mr. Chairman, if I may real quick, on your hearing outline that you have,
the file number is listed incorrectly as 104. It should be 100. So, if you will,
please, note that in your motion.
Yearsley: Okay.
Allen: But the hearing agenda is correct, though. Thank you.
Yearsley: Thank you.
Jewett: Jim Jewett. 167 East White Spur in Meridian, Idaho. As Sonya has
stated, we are in agreeance with her staff report and would stand for any
questions.
Yearsley: Thank you. Are there any questions? No? Thank you. Is there
anyone wishing to testify on this application? With that I don't think we need the

applicant to come forward again, so at this point I would entertain a motion to
close the public hearing.

McCarvel: Second.
Yearsley: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. All in favor
say aye. Opposed? Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. TWO ABSENT.
Yearsley: You know, as a -- as a conditional use permit I think the overall site
plan looks good. I think it's an appropriate use for that area and so I would be in
favor to it.
McCarvel: Mr. Chairman?
Yearsley: Commissioner McCarvel.
McCarvel: Yeah. I don't see an issue with it as doing it with the conditional use
permit that's in front of us tonight.
Yearsley: Okay. With that, if there is no more comments, I would entertain a
motion.
Wilson: Mr. Chair?
Yearsley: Commissioner Wilson.
Wilson: After considering all staff, applicant and public testimony, I move to
recommend to City Council file number H-2016-0100 as presented in the staff
report.
McCarvel: Second.
Yearsley: So that's to approve.
McCarvel: To approve.
