STAFF ANALYSIS The proposed annexation area is within the Area of City Impact boundary and is contiguous to land that has already been annexed into the City. A legal description for the area proposed to be annexed is included in Section VII, Exhibit A. The site consists of land included in the Primrose Subdivision plat designated as a public use area but never developed as such; the site has been being used as a pasture and contains no structures. In 1979, the Meridian City Council vacated the public use area designation on the plat (Ordinance #352). An Affidavit Authorizing Change to Official Plat Record was recorded on September 14, 2018 as Instrument No. 2018-087272, to remove the “public use area” notation on the plat. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation for this site is Low Density Residential (LDR), which allows residential densities of 3 or fewer units per acre. The adjacent property to the west is designated Commercial. Because FLUM designations are approximate and not necessarily parcel specific, the Applicant requests the adjacent Commercial designation be allowed to float” to this property without an amendment to the FLUM. With this request, Staff recommended the Applicant submit letters of support from abutting affected property owners (i.e. Atwood’s, Hennis’, Plummer’s), which the Applicant has done (see Section VII, Exhibit C). The Applicant submitted two (2) options to these property owners for landscape buffers adjacent to their properties; Option 1, which consists of a 25-foot wide buffer with 6-foot tall fence on the property line consistent with UDC Table 11-2B-3, was chosen by all (see Section VII, Exhibit D). Landscaping within this buffer should be provided with development of the site in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11- 3B-9C. The buffer (or right-of-way along the north boundary) should facilitate pedestrian access from the residential to the abutting commercial development as set forth in UDC 11-3B- 9C.3. Once annexed, the property will be improved as a parking area to serve a future development phase i.e. professional offices) in the adjacent TM Crossing commercial development to the west; a conceptual development plan is included in Section VII, Exhibit B. The UDC (Table 11-2B-2) allows parking facilities as a principal permitted use in the C-G district; future development must comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2B-3 for the C-G district and the parking standards listed in UDC 11-3C-5. A continuous pedestrian walkway that is a minimum 5 feet in width should be provided from the parking lot to the main building entrance in accord with UDC 11-3A-19B.4. There is existing unimproved dedicated right-of-way (ROW), 25-feet wide, adjacent to the north boundary of the site. The Applicant proposes to provide an emergency only access to the TM Crossing site from this ROW via W. Verbena Dr. as contemplated with TM Crossing subdivision. Access is proposed via a driveway from the west from Navigator Dr. within the TM Crossing development; public access via W. Verbena Dr. is not proposed or required at this time. If at some point in the future the adjacent homes to the north and east redevelop commercially and the 25- foot wide right-of-way depicted on the Primrose subdivision plat on the adjacent property to the north is dedicated, a public street connection may occur at that time. This site is separated from I-84 by a 15’ wide sliver of land, under different ownership, where the Purdam Gulch Drain is located that appears to be a remnant of land leftover when the interstate was widened. The UDC (Table 11-2B-3) requires a 50-foot wide street buffer to be provided on properties adjacent to Interstate 84 landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C consistent with the Comprehensive Plan (#3.06.02F), which requires appropriate landscaping and buffers along transportation corridors. Although this property doesn’t directly abut I-84, there is not sufficient depth on that property to provide the required buffer and it’s not likely to be improved since it’s not part of a larger parcel. For this reason, staff recommends a minimum 35-foot wide street buffer is provided on this site as a provision of annexation. Additionally, Staff Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda January 15, 2019 – Page 118 of 462Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 12, 2019 – Page 36 of 237 Page 4 recommends the multi-use pathway within the street buffer along I-84 on the adjacent property to the west is extended across this site within the buffer to the east boundary of the site. The City may require a Development Agreement (DA) in conjunction with an annexation and zoning request pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. In order to ensure compliance with Staff’s recommendation associated with this application, staff recommends a DA is required with the provisions included in Exhibit VIII. Prior to development, an application for Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Administrative design review is required to be submitted for the proposed parking area to ensure compliance with the DA provisions in this report and UDC standards. VI. DECISION A. Staff: Staff recommends approval of the proposed annexation and zoning application per the Findings in Section IX with the requirement of a Development Agreement including the provisions in Section VIII.

CITY/AGENCY COMMENTS & CONDITIONS A. PLANNING DIVISION A Development Agreement (DA) is required as a provision of annexation of this property. Prior to approval of the annexation ordinance, a DA shall be entered into between the City of Meridian, the property owner(s) at the time of annexation ordinance adoption, and the developer.
