On November 12, 2019 the City of Meridian approved the Request for Annexation of 10.29 Acres of land
as C-C (3.76 Acres) and R-15 (6.53 Acres) Zoning Districts; Preliminary Plat Consisting of Eight (8) Building
Lots and One 1) Common Lot on 8.84 Acres of Land in the C-C and R-15 Zoning Districts; and Conditional

2019-0090
The Inglewood Place Subdivision is located at the North East corner of Victory Road and Eagle Road. This
will be a two-phase development. Phase one will be R15 Zoned that will be developed as a Senior Living
Community and phase two will be designated as a C-C Zone which could include uses such as retail,
office or professional. During planning of the project great consideration was taken to provide a quality
development that’s a good fit and contributes to the community. Through this process the design team
has received approval for annexation by the planning department and the city council. We have also
held a neighborhood meeting; our Engineer has personally met with the neighbors and with ACHD.
The proposed development will be Mixed Use which is parallel with the City of Meridian’s
comprehensive plan for this property. We are proposing for the East and Middle parcels to be R-15 and
the West parcel adjacent to Eagle Road to be C-C zoned.
1.A: East Parcel, R-15 Zone
This parcel of the property will be single level duplex’s (14 Units) for Senior Independent Living.
1.B: Middle Parcel, R-15 Zone
This parcel will host a three-level senior living facility for Independent Living (46 Units), Assisted Living
(30 Units) and Memory Care (10 Units). These living areas will be in 4 different wings all connected to a
common core area. This design is visually appealing as it breaks up the mass of a large building and
creates great outdoor open space.
1.C: West Parcels, C-C Zone
The west parcels of the development which will be adjacent to Eagle Road and Victory road is ideal for
commercial use. Below you will see an option for this commercial parcel. We do not have end users in
place for the commercial area and the vision may be different than the conceptual drawings shown. We
ask that the commercial area have flexibility so that we can get the right commercial user at this
location. There will be multiple sidewalks between the commercial and senior living community for
senior’s ease of access to the commercial amenities.
