II. SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed AZ, RZ and PP applications in accord with the conditions
of approval in Exhibit B and the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in Exhibit D.
The Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission heard these items on July 6, 2017. At the public
hearing, the Commission moved to recommend approval of the subject AZ, RZ and PP
requests.
a. Summary of Commission Public Hearing:
i. In favor: Becky McKay, Applicant's Representative; Chad Hamel, Boise Hunter Homes
ii. In opposition: Sam Karnes; Susan Karnes on behalf of the Meridian Southern Rim
Coalition (grass roots alliance dedicated to representing south Meridian residents); Jim
Stroo on behalf of the Black Rock HOA; and Wendy Webb
W. Commenting: None
iv. Written testimony: Becky McKay, Applicant's Representative (response to the staff
report); Andrea Tlucek; and Andrea Fonnesbeck
v. Staff presenting application: Sonya Allen
A. Otber staff commenting on application: None
b. Key issue(s) of Public Testimony:
L Preference of larger lots than those proposed in the R-8 district & more of a transition
in lot sizes (no greater than 1.1 and a halt) from those in Blackrock Subdivision.
ii. Concern regarding impact on traffic (i.e. on Taconic & Eagle Road and at the
intersection) and quality of life in this area.
Sky Mesa Subdivision — AZ, PP H-2017-0068 PAGE 1
EXHIBIT A
iii. Recluest for the hillside to be located within a common lot rather than on individual
building lots so that it's owned and consistently maintained by the Homeowner's
Association.
iv. Opinion that the proposed development is not consistent with the goals of the
_Comprehensive Plan, as follows: 1) Desire for this area to be a lower density "to preserve
some of the small town character and chaivn" as stated in the Introduction; 2) does not
feel the proposed development demonstrates consistency with the Key Communit
values stated in the Plan (i.e. "Enhance Meridian's (tuality of life for all current and
future residents; Prevent school overcrowding and enhance education services; Improve
transportation; and Protect Meridian's self-identity"); and, 3) Definition of "quality of life
and livability (i a satisfaction of residents derived from their sitri•oundiitgs — negative
impact of inore dense housing adiacent to less dense housing)."
V. Request for the property to be zoned R-2 and developed less densely than proposed,
instead of R-4 and R-8 which is what the majority of residential land in the City is
zoned.
vi. Opposition to patio homes (higher density) at the entry of the development at the
intersection of Eagle/Taconic and proposed R-8 zoning — would like to keep semi -rural
ambience and identity of neighborhoods — larger lots and greater setbacks. Preference
for the patio homes to be located in the northern sector of the development. Concern
that higher density near the intersection will exacerbate traffic congestion during the
rush and school hours.
vii. Overcrowding in schools in this area already.
viii. The need for additional parking to be provided for the swimming
pool/clubhouse/playground area as the number of spaces provided for the pool inthe
existing Sky Mesa development is inadequate.
ix. Request for a "statement" entrance to the development and provision of a tall berm
with lush landscaping along S Eagle Road for sound mitigation and beautification.
c. Key Issues of Discussion by Commission:
L. Traffic calming on Taconic (i.e. a roundabout at the intersection near the pooh.
ii. The issue of the hillside being put in a common lot for HOA maintenance rather than in
adjacent building lots for individual homeowner maintenance.
iii. The timing for the expansion of S. Eagle Road and the roundabout improvements.
iv. The applicant's request for eligibility for reimbursement of fees in the future for sewer
and water improvements that provide additional service and capacity to other grolects.
v. Timing for when the swimming pool will be constructed (i.e. which phase).
d. Commission Change(s) to Staff Recommendation:
i_ None
e. Outstanding Issues) for City Council:
L. Neighborhood concerns; if proposed development is appropriate for this area.
fl. The Commission requested Staff discuss the possibility for traffic calming measures on
Taconic with ACHD Staff did so and ACHD required the applicant to work with
ACHD staff to coordinate a traffic calming plan for E Taconic Drive prior to ACHD's
signature on the first final plat.

In 2006, a request for annexation and zoning of 224.26 acres of land with R-2, R-4 and R-8
zoning; and a preliminary plat consisting of 644 residential lots and 31 common lots for
Blackrock Castle Greens Subdivision by Providence Development was denied by City
Council (AZ -06-059; PP -06-059).
In 2013, the portion of this site that lies north of E. Taconic Drive was annexed and zoned R-
2 (AZ -13-016); and included as one large lot in the preliminary plat for the Southern
Highlands development (PP -13-033). Note: The subject proper o, was not included in the
development agr°eenientfor the Southern Highlands development.

Floodplain Overlay District.
VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates approximately 56 acres of
northern and southwestern portions of this property as Low Density Residential (LDR) and
approximately 42 acres of the southern portion of this property as Medium Density Residential
(MDR).
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 3 dwelling units or
less per acre.
Sky Mesa Subdivision — AZ, PP H-2017-0068 PAGE 5
EXHIBIT A
The MDR designation allows smaller lots for residential purposes within City limits. Uses may
include single-family homes at gross densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre (d.u./acre).
The applicant proposes to develop this property with 278 single-family residential detached homes at
an overall gross density of 2.83 d.u./acre and net density of 4.21 d.u./acre. The density proposed in
the LDR designated areas is 2.59 d.u./acre while the density proposed in the MDR designated area is
3.12 d.u./acre which is consistent with the corresponding LDR & MDR FLUM designations, although
at the low end of the density desired in MDR designated areas.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to
the proposed use (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." (3.07.01E)
The proposed low density development will contribute to the range of housing opportunities
available in. the City. A variety of lot sizes are proposed from 5,553 up to 26,707 square feet.
Staff is unaware of how "affordable" homes will be in this development.
"Restrict private curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets." (3.06.02D)
Access is proposed via E. Taconic Drive, a collector street, via S. Eagle Road; direct access
vitt S. Eagle Road, an arterial street, is not proposed or approved..
"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 are available to be extended by the developer to the proposed lots upon
development of the site in accord with UDC 11-3A-21.
"Require new residential development to meet development standards regarding landscaping,
signage, fences and walls, etc." (3.05.02C)
Landscaping is required to be provided in common area lots within the subdivision in accord
with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3G -3E and within the street buffer along S. Eagle Road
in accord withthe standards listed in UDC 11 -3B -7C. Street btiffer landscaping already
exists along E. Taconic Drive.
"Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent
parcels." (3.06.01F)
The proposed residential development should be compatible with existing and fitture adjacent
low-naediuni density single family residential arses.
"Require common area in all subdivisions." (3.07.02F)
The UDC (11-3G-2) requires cornnaon open space and site amenities to be provided for
developments of 5 acres or more in area. Based on the area of the plat (98.35 acres), a
minimum of 9.8 acres of qualified open space and a minimtnn of 4 qualified site amenities are
required to be provided for this development.
Sky Mesa Subdivision — AZ, PP H-2017-0068 PAGE 6
EXHIBIT A
"Develop pathways to connect Meridian with Boise, Narnpa, Kuna and Eagle." (6.01.02C)
A segment of the City's regional pathway system is depicted on the Pathways Master Plan to
the west of S. Eagle Road on this site. This pathway is intended to provide connections to
pathways in adjacent cities.
"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)
There are no pathtiavay stubs to this site from Southern Highlands Subdivision although- there
is a stub street (E. Lachlan. St.) approved at the northwest corner of the site which will have a
detached sidewalk for pedestrian access and interconnectivity. Due to the steep slope at the
west boundary of the development south of Taconic, there are no existing or proposed
pedestrian connections inn that area.
"Limit canal tiling and piping of ,ditches, creeks, and drains where public safety issues are not
of concern." (5.01.01E)
The Tentnile Creek which runs along the northeast corner of this site should remain open
and not be piped. Wrought iron fencing is proposed adjacent to the creek to preserve public
safety.
"Require new urban density subdivisions which abut or are proximal to existing low density
residential land uses to provide landscaped screening or transitional densities with larger,
more comparable lot sizes to buffer the interface between urban level densities and rural
residential densities."
Transitional densities with larger more comparable lot sizes should be provide along the
west boundary of the development adjacent to lots in Blackrock Subdivision. Staff
reconnnends that no more than 2 lots in the subject development abut each lot in the abutting
Blackrock Subdivision.
"Improve and protect creeks (Fivemile, Eightmile, Ninemile, Tenmile, South Slough, and
Jackson and Evans drainage) throughout commercial, industrial and residential areas."
The Tenmile Creek, which runs along the northeast corner of this site, should remain open
and be protected with development.
"Review new development for appropriate opportunities to connect local roads and collectors
to adjacent properties (stub streets). (3.03.020)
There is one existing stub street (E. Lachlan. Drive) to this property at the northwest corner of
the site from Southern Highlands subdivision that will be extended with this development.
Staff recommends a stub -street is provided to the parcel (#S113241 7210) at the southeast
corner of the site owned by H O T 3, LLC.
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 dimensional standards of the corresponding zone and
housing types that can be accommodated.
B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 11-2A-2 lists the principal permitted
(P), accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the R-4 and R-8 zoning districts.
Any use not explicitly listed, or listed as a prohibited use is prohibited. Single family detached
dwellings are a principally permitted use in the R-4 and R-8 zoning districts.
Sky Mesa Subdivision — AZ, PP H-2017-0068 PAGE 7
EXHIBIT A
C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site should be consistent with the dimensional
standards listed in UDC Tables 11-2A-5 and 11-2A-6 for the R-4 and R-8 zoning districts
respectively.
D. Landscaping: Landscaping shall be required in accordance with the standards listed in UDC 11-
3B -7C, Street Buffer Landscaping; 11-3A-17, parkways; and, 11 -3G -3E, common open space
areas.
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 54.01 acres of land from the RUT
zoning district in Ada County to the R-4 (medium low-density residential) (26.57 acres) and
R-8 (medium -density residential) (27.44 acres) zoning districts in the City.
The density of the proposed development is consistent with the corresponding FLUM
designations for this site as discussed above in Section VII.
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 as a provision of annexation with the
conditions included in Exhibit B.
2. Rezone
The applicant requests a rezone of 38.87 acres of land from the R-2 (low-density residential)
to the R-4 (medium low-density residential) zoning district; 6.26 acres of land from the R-2
(low-density residential) to the R-8 (medium -density residential) zoning district; and 0.88 of
an acre of land from the R-4 (medium low-density residential) to the R-8 (medium -density
residential) zoning district. A legal description is included in Exhibit C that shows the
boundaries of the property proposed to be rezoned.
The proposed rezone will facilitate development of this property as proposed. When the
property was annexed into the City with the Southern Highlands development, there was not
a development plan for this area so an R-2 zoning was approved with the assumption the
property would be rezoned in the fixture when development occurred.
3. Preliminary Plat
The proposed plat consists of 278 single-family residential building lots and 31 common lots
on 9835 acres of land in the proposed R-4 and R-8 zoning districts (see Exhibit A.2).
Proposed lots range in size from 5,553 to 26,707 square feet (s.£) with an average lot size of
10,350 s.f. A gross overall density of 2.83 dwelling units per acre (d.u./acre) and a net density
of 4.21 d.u./acre is proposed. The subdivision is proposed to develop in 5 phases.
Sky Mesa Subdivision — AZ, PP I -I-2017-0068 PAGE 8
EXHIBIT A
The project is proposed to have 4 typical lot sizes with lot widths of 85, 75, 65 and 55 feet.
The distribution of lot widths is as follows: 85 feet — 20 lots (7119%), 75 feet —117 lots
(42.09%), 65 feet — 102 lots (36.69%), and 55 feet — 39 lots (14.03%).
The 85 -foot wide lots are proposed as a transition to those in Blackrock subdivision, which
consist of 0.5 to 1 acre lots, and range in size from 12,762 to 26,707 square feet (or 0.29 to
0.61 of an acre) with an average lot size of 16,262 s.f. (0.37 of an acre). These lots will have
depths ranging from 150 to 222 feet to allow a greater separation to the existing homes and
slope transition.
The smaller patio home lots are proposed adjacent to Eagle Road on the north and south sides
of Taconic, which will provide a higher density and buffer at the Taconic (collector)/Eagle
(arterial) intersection.
Existing Structures: There are no existing structures on this site.
Dimensional Standards: Development of this site is required to comply with the
dimensional standards listed in UDC 11-2A-3 and Tables 11-2A-5 and 11-2A-6 for the R-4
and R-8 zoning districts respectively, and the subdivision design and improvement standards
listed in UDC 11-6C-3. Staff has recommended minor changes to the plat in order to comply
with dimensional standards (see condition #1.1.2 in Exhibit B).
The maximum block face length allowed in residential districts is 750 feet without an
intersecting street or alley. Where a pedestrian connection is provided, the maximum block
face may extend up to 1,000 feet in length. City Council may approve a block face up to
1,200 feet in length where block design is constrained by site conditions such as a large
waterway and/or a large irrigation facility. Block 5 exceeds the maximum block face
requirement but is constrained by the abutting Tenmile Creels to the northeast. Because
a pathway isn't planned along the south side of the creek, it's not feasible to include a
pathway within the block in order to qualify for a longer block length. Therefore,
Council approval of the proposed block length is required.
Streets that end in a cul-de-sac or a dead end are not allowed to be longer than 450 feet per
UDC 11-6C-313.4. The cul-de-sac where E. Mores Trail Ct. dead ends is 500'+/- in
length; the plat should be revised to comply with this standard.
Transition: As discussed above in Section VII, transitional densities with lot sizes
comparable to existing rural properties are desired to buffer the interface between urban level
densities and rural residential densities. Although the density of the proposed development
falls within the density ranges desired in LDR & MDR designated areas, larger lots should be
provided in two areas along the west boundary adjacent to lots in Blackrock Subdivision to
provide more of a transition in lot sizes. Staff recommends one lot in the area of Lots 6-8,
Block 12 and one lot in the area of Lots 2-4, Block 12 is removed so that no more than 2
lots in the subject development abut each lot in Blackrock Subdivision.
Traffic: A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was prepared for this development by Six Mile
Engineering. The TIS determined that capacity exists in the transportation network to
accommodate the development.
The ACHD report states additional right-of-way is required to be dedicated at the
Eagle/Taconic intersection to accornmodate a single -lane roundabout, which is required to be
constructed prior to ACHD's signature on the first final plat.
Streets: All streets within this development are proposed to be public. Three (3) different
street sections are proposed within the development. The street section with 42 feet of
right-of-way (ROW) will only accommodate parking on one side of the street; the other
Sky Mesa Subdivision — AZ, PP H-2017-0068 PAGE 9
EXHIBIT A
side should be signed " "No Parking". This street section is proposed within the patio home
area nearest Eagle Road, zoned R-8.
Access: Access to streets should comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-3. Seven (7)
access points for the development are proposed via E. Taconic Street, an existing
collector street accessed via S. Eagle Road; because the UDC restricts access via
collector streets, Council approval of the proposed accesses are required. Direct lot
access via S. Eagle Road is prohibited. All of the proposed internal streets are public. The two
easterly accesses proposed via Taconic closest to the Eagle intersection will be restricted to
right-in/right-out due to the existing island in Taconic.
A stub street (E. Lachlan St.) was platted at the northwest corner of this site with Southern
Highlands Subdivision No. 4, which will be extended with this development as E. Shady
Glen Drive; no other stubs are provided to this development.
One stub street is proposed to the north and two stub streets are proposed to the south for
future extension and interconnectivity with this development. A preliminary plat (Eastridge
Subdivision) is currently in the hearing process for the parcel to the south
(#S1132438500); the westernmost stub to the south on this plat does not align with that
proposed to the south. Staff has been advised the applicant is making changes to their
plat but has yet to see the changes. Because this plat was submitted after the Eastridge
plat, the stub street in this development should align with that approved to the south. If
the revised layout of the plat to the south does not align with that proposed in this
development by the time this project goes before Council, this plat should be revised
accordingly so the streets align.
There are 2 properties that abut this site that front on Eagle Road that don't have
access via a local street — the 1.15 acre Fulcher property (#S1132142001) north of
Taconic; and the 10.5 acre H O T 3, LLC property (#S1132417210) south of Taconic.
Per UDC 11 -3A -3A.3, "All subdivisions must provide local street access to any use that
currently takes direct access from an arterial or collector street." Therefore, Staff
recommends a minimum 20 -foot wide access easement is provided over Lot 59, Block 5
to the Fulcher parcel; and a stub street is provided to the H O T 3, LLC parcel. If the
future land use map designation of the H O T 3, LLC property changes from medium
density residential to a non-residential designation prior to this portion of the property
being final platted, the access may not be required as determined by the Planning
Director and ACRD. However, if a stub street isn't provided, the block face exceeds the
maximum length standard of 750 feet and will need to be remedied per UDC 11 -6C -3F.
Common Driveways: Common driveways are required to comply with the standards listed
in UDC 'l 1 -6C -3D. A common driveway is proposed on Lot 59, Block 5. Staff recommends
a note is included on the plat that designates which lots are to take access via the
common driveway.
A shared driveway is proposed for access to Lots 36 and 37, Block 8. Because there are no
longer provisions in the UDC for shared driveways that consist of an easement over
building lots, staff recommends a common lot is provided for a common driveway for
access to these lots.
For any plats using a common driveway, an exhibit should be submitted with the final
plat application that depicts the setbacks, fencing, building envelope, and orientation of
the lots and structures. The driveway(s) for adjacent lots that meet the minimum street
frontage requirement but aren't taking access via the common driveway should be
Sky Mesa Subdivision — AZ, PP H-2017-0068 PAGE 10
EXHIBIT A
located on the opposite side of the shared property line away from the common
driveway.
Depict a concrete pad at the end of the common drives no more than 5 feet behind the
sidewalk that is of sufficient area to accommodate the receptacles of the residences that
take access from the common driveway per requirement of Republic Services.
Parking: Off-street parking is required to be provided on each residential lot in accord with
the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-6. For 2, 3 and 4 bedroom units, a minimum of 4 off-street
parking spaces are required with at least 2 of those in an enclosed garage; other spaces may
be enclosed or a minimum 10' x 20' parking pad.
Parking is required to be provided for the clubhouse as set forth in UDC 11 -3C -6B for non-
residential uses (a minimum of 1 space per 500 square feet of gross floor area). The site plan
depicts a total of 4 spaces with one of those being a handicap stall; the size of the
structure is not depicted. Parking is not reviewed or approved with the subdivision plat;
however, when a Certificate of Zoning Compliance application is submitted for the
clubhouse and swimming pool, additional parking will likely be required due to the size
of the facility, development and location adjacent to a collector street.
Landscaping: Landscaping is required to be provided in the proposed development as set
forth in UDC 11-3B. A landscape plan was submitted with this application for the area
proposed to be platted as shown in Exhibit A.3.
A 25 -foot wide street buffer is required along S. Eagle Road, an arterial street; and a 20 -foot
wide street buffer is required along E. Taconic Street, a collector street, measured from back
of curb in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3B -7C. The existing buffers and
buffers depicted on the landscape plan comply with this standard.
Landscaping is required within common areas in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-
3G -3E as proposed.
Parkways are required to be landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3A -
17C as proposed.
Tree Mitigation: Mitigation is required for all existing trees 4" caliper or greater that are
removed from the site with equal replacement of the total calipers lost on the site up to an
amount of 100% replacement.
The applicant should coordinate with Elroy Huff, the City Arborist, to confirm
mitigation requirements prior to removal of any trees from the site. Mitigation
calculations should be depicted on the landscape plan.
Open Space/Site Amenities: Properties over 5 acres in size are required to comply with
minimum open space and site amenity requirements as set forth in UDC 11 -3G -3A.1. Based
on the area of the prehminaiy plat (98.35 acres), a minimum of 10% (or 9.84 acres) qualified
open space and 4 qualified site amenities are required to be provided with the development.
The applicant proposes a total of 13.27% (or 13.05 acres) of qualified open space consisting
of half the street buffer along S. Eagle Road (an arterial street), the street buffers along E.
Taconic St. (collector street), 8 -foot wide parkways along internal local streets, and internal
common areas in accord with UDC standards.
Qualified site amenities consist of pedestrian pathways throughout the development
providing connectivity to open space and site amenities; a segment of the City's 10 -foot wide
multi -use pathway system along the south side of Taconic; a swimming pool with a
clubhouse and tot lot; a picnic shelter; and another tot lot with play equipment in accord with
Sky Mesa Subdivision — AZ, PP H-2017-0068 PAGE 11
EXHIBIT A
UDC standards. The majority of the site amenities are located on Lot 1, Block 13 within
Phase 4 of the development; Staff recommends these amenities are constructed with
Phase 2 at the latest.
Because there is a significant slope along the southwest side of this development that
makes maintenance of the slope difficult, staff recommends it is included in a common
area lot and owned and maintained by the Homeowner's Association. This will ensure
that it's maintained uniformly and consistently. Note: The building lots in Southern.
Highlands that abut the slope on the north side of Taconic contain a 50 foot wide slope
easement; individual homeowners are responsible for the maintenance that area. Complaints
have been made to Code Enforcement that the slope area is not be consistently maintained
and it has become an enforcement issue for weeds.
Pathways: Per the Pathways Master Plan, a segment of the City's multi -use pathway system
is planned along the north side of the Tenmile Creels (off-site) and to the west of S. Eagle
Road, A 10 -foot wide pathway already exists along the south side of E. Taconic Drive and
off-site across Eagle Road to the east along the north side of Taconic; this pathway will
provide access to the City Park planned within the Hill's Century Farm development.
Staff recommends a 10 -foot wide pathway/sidewalk is constructed along the west side of
S. Eagle Road from Taconic to the north property boundary to provide a connection to
the future pathway planned along the north side of the creek; a segment of the pathway
also exists on the east side of Eagle Road on the north side of Taconic in Hill's Century Farm.
The ACHD report states that West Ada School District is installing a HAWK pedestrian
crossing at the Taconic/Eagle intersection this summer which will create a more safe
pedestrian connection the Hillsdale Elementary School, YMCA and City Park to the east.
Sidewalks: Sidewalks are required along all public streets as set forth in UDC 11-3A-17. A
detached sidewalk is required along the north side of E. Taconic Drive, a collector street; and
along S. Eagle Road, an arterial street, as proposed. A 10 -foot wide sidewalk already exists
along the south side of Taconic. Five-foot wide detached sidewalks with parkways are
proposed along internal local streets within the development.
Utilities: 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.
Street lighting is required to be installed within the development in accord with the City's
adopted standards, specifications and ordinances.
Pressurized Irrigation (PI): An underground PI system is required to be provided to each
lot in the subdivision in accord with UDC 11-3A-15 as proposed.
Lot 1, Block 8 contains an existing pressure irrigation pump station for Blackrock
Subdivision. This facility either needs to be platted on a separate lot or relocated

depicted on the landscape plan.
Building Elevations: The applicant has submitted 6 photos of homes that will be similar to
those constructed in this subdivision (see Exhibit AA) that share the same character and
quality of design as those in Southern Highlands Subdivision to the west of this project.
These photos all depict at least 2 different building materials and stoneibrick veneer accents.
The applicant states a variety of housing types and sizes will be offered and that all homes
will be approved through an internal design review process by an architectural control
committee.
If 2 -story homes are constructed on Lots 60-65, Block 5 and Lots 36-38, Block 8, they will be
highly visible from S. Eagle Road, an arterial street. Therefore, the rear elevations of 2 -story
homes shall incorporate articulation through changes in two or more of the following:
material type, projections, recesses, step -backs, bays, banding, pop -outs; porches, balconies
or other architectural elements to break up monotonous wall planes and roof lines. This does

EXHIBIT A
D. Required Findings from Unified Development Code
1. Annexation and Rezone Findings:
Upon recommendation from the Commission, the Council shall make a full investigation and shall,
at the public hearing, review the application. In order to grant an annexation, the Council shall
make the following findings:
a. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan;
The Applicant proposes to annex and rezone the subject property with the R-4 and R-8 zoning
districts and develop single-family detached homes on the site at an overall gross density of 2.83
dwelling units per acre; the City Council finds the proposal is consistent with the associated LDR and
MDR designations for this site. (See section VII above for more information)
b. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district,
specifically the purpose statement;
The City Council finds that the proposed map amendment to the R-4 and R-8 zoning districts 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;
The City Council finds that the proposed map amendment will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare. City utilities will be extended at the expense of the developer.
d. The map amendment shall not result in an adverse impact upon the delivery of services by any
political subdivision providing public services within the City including, but not limited to,

The City Council finds annexing the portion of this property that lies south of E. Taconic Drive with
the R-4 and R-8 zoning district as requested is in the best interest of the City. The portion of the site
on the north side of Taconic was previously annexed and is proposed to be rezoned with this
application so thisfinding doesn't apply to that portion of the site.

EXHIBIT A
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 development at their
own cost, the City Council 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;
Based on comments from public service providers in Exhibit B, the City Council finds there is public
financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development: (See Exhibit B for more
detail.)
