Locust Grove Rd. (Parcel#S0530142200 &#S0530142050;m NE '/4 of Section 30,TAN.,RAE.) Update: City Council heard this project on March 24`h.At that meeting, Council approved the project consistent with the Commission's recommendation for the buildable lots to be reduced by five (5) to no more than 45 buildable lots, and to have no more than six (6) lots off the cul-de-sac at the east end of the development. They also requested that construction traffic use the existing curb cut via Locust Grove Rd. for as long as possible to keep construction traffic off existing streets in adjacent subdivisions. The Applicant was not in agreement with revising the plat per the Council's decision and requests Council consideration of a revised plat that depicts the following changes: 1) a reduction in buildable lots from 50 to 33 resulting in larger buildable lots and a reduction in gross density from 5.08 to 3.38 residential units per acre; 2) removal of the perimeter common area and loop pathway along the north & south boundaries resulting in a decrease in qualified open space from 1.62 acres (16.6%) to 1.01 (10.3%); change in amenities from a pathway and community garden to children's play equipment; and change from single-level patio homes to 1-and 2-story typical detached homes. The project was re- noticed at the direction of the City Attorney and the staff report has been updated consistent with the proposed revised plat. I.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS(Comprehensive Plan) (Note: This project was submitted prior to the new Comprehensive Plan being adopted; therefore, this project is being evaluated under the previous Plan) The Future Land Use Map(FLUM)contained in the Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Medium Density Residential(MDR). The purpose of the MDR designation is to allow small lots for residential purposes within City limits. Uses may include single-family homes at gross densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The following Comprehensive Plan Policies are applicable to this development: • "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 detached homes will contributed to the variety of residential categories in the City;Staff is unaware how "affordable"the units will be. • "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 and will be extended by the developer to the proposed lots upon development of the site in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. • "Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels." (3.06.0117) The abutting uses are also single-family residential which are compatible with the proposed development. • "Require common area in all subdivisions."(3.07.02F) The proposed plat depicts a total of 4-.Q1.01 acres (or 4"10.3%) of qualified open space, which slily exceeds the minimum standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3-by 6 670 . • "Require all new development to create a site design compatible with surrounding uses Page 5 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 12,2020— Page 150 of 284 through buffering, screening,transitional densities, and other best site design practices." (3.07.01A) The proposed site design provides similar lot sizes and densities as abutting residential developments to the north, south and west. • "Review new development for appropriate opportunities to connect local roads and collectors to adjacent properties (stub streets). (3.03.020) The proposed plat depicts the extension of existing local stub streets at the north and south boundaries of the site. Staff believes the proposed development plan is consistent with the vision of the Comprehensive Plan in regard to land use, density and transportation. VI. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE ANALYSIS(UDC A. Annexation&Zoning: The proposed annexation of two(2)parcels and Locust Grove right-of-way consisting of 10.03 acres of land with R-8 zoning for the development of single-family homes is consistent with the Medium Density Residential(MDR)Future Land Use Map(FLUM)designation. The annexation area is an enclave surrounded by properties that have been previously annexed into the City and is within the Area of City Impact Boundary(AOCI).A legal description for the annexation area is included in Section VIII.A. 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 provisions included in Section VIII. The DA is required to be signed by the property owner(s)/developer and returned to the City within 6 months of the Council granting the annexation for approval by City Council and subsequent recordation. B. Preliminary Plat: The proposed plat consists of 5033 single-family residential buildable lots and-7 4 common lots on 9.91 acres of land in the proposed R-8 zoning district. The minimum lot size proposed is 44, 64- 7,525 square feet(s.£)with an average lot size of 4,692 9,474 s.f.; the gross density is 5.49 3.33 units/acre with a net density of 644 4.6 units/acre. The subdivision is proposed to develop in one phase. The demegr-aphie of the proposed d&velopment is anlieip4ed to be r-efir-ees looking to do fFem larger-homes; the 14emeeNN%er-'s Asseei4ien(140A)will maintain the landseaping for-eaeh of the homes within the subdivision. Existing Structures/Site Improvements: There are two(2)existing homes and accessory structures on the site that are proposed to be removed with development. All existing structures should be removed prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer. Page 6 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 12,2020— Page 151 of 284 Proposed Use Analysis: Single-family detached dwellings are listed as a principal permitted use in the R-8 zoning district in UDC Table 11-2A-2. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2): R-8 district: UDC Table 11-2A-6) The property sizes and street frontages of the proposed single-family lots and width of street buffers comply with the aforementioned minimum dimensional standards; future development should comply with the minimum building setbacks and maximum building height standards of the R-8 district. All of the proposed lots meets the minimum size and street frontaget Subdivision Design and Improvement Standards (UDC 11-6C-3) Development of the subdivision is required to comply with the subdivision design and improvement standards listed in UDC 11-6C-3, including but not limited to streets, common driveways and block face. There are dffee is one(31)common driveways proposed; such driveways should be constructed in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-6C-3D. An exhibit should be submitted with the final plat application that depicts the setbacks,fencing,building envelope,and orientation of the lots and structures accessed via the common driveway; if a property abuts a common driveway but has the required minimum street frontage and is taking access via the public street,the driveway should be depicted on the opposite side of the shared property line from the common driveway. Access(UDC 11-3A-3) Access is proposed via the extension of existing stub streets from the north(N. Starry Night Ave.) and south(E. Yucca Canyon St.)boundaries of the site; direct access via N. Locust Grove Rd. is not proposed or approved. Because all of the surrounding properties are developed and the Applicant is extending all existing stub streets,no other stub streets are necessary to be provided. A note should be placed on the face of the final plat prohibiting direct lot access to N. Locust Grove Rd. Parking(UDC 11-3 Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC Table 11- 3C-6 for single-family detached dwellings based on the number of bedrooms per unit.Future development should comply with these standards. A revised parking plan was submitted that depicts the number of available on-street parking spaces; a total of 3-7 50 spaces are available after driveways are removed from the equation(see VIII.E). Pathways(UDC 11-3A-8): No multi-use pathways are designation on the Pathways Master Plan for this site;however,the Park's Dept. requested a 10-foot wide pathway be provided within the street buffer along N. Locust Grove Rd. within a 14-foot wide public pedestrian easement.
