STAFF ANALYSIS A. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT MODIFICATION(MDA) A modification to the existing Development Agreement(Inst. #108131100), approved in 2008,which allows commercial/office/hotel uses, is requested for the purpose of replacing the agreement with a new agreement allowing a mix of single-family detached,townhome and multi-family residential uses to develop on the site. The existing DA includes two (2) different concept development plans for the site as shown in Section VII.A. These plans depict approximately 400,000 square feet of professional office,hotel,big box retail and smaller retail spaces. The Applicant feels the proposed development plan with a mix of residential uses (i.e. single-family detached,townhome&multi-family) is more appropriate for this site as it provides a transition in zoning and uses to the existing single-family residential homes to the west and existing and future residential uses to the north with multi-family as a transition to future commercial/office uses to the east(see Section VII.D). Because the development plan for this site has completely changed from the conceptual commercial development previously approved and the terms of the agreement are no longer applicable, Staff is amenable to the request for a new DA to replace the existing agreement based on the proposed development plan. Staff s recommended provisions for the new DA are included in Section VIII.A.I and the development plan for the overall site is included in Section VII.D. The proposed project differs from the previous Tanner Creek project that was denied in 2018, as follows: • Previously, R-15 &R-40 zoning was proposed; now R-8, R-15&R-40 is proposed; • The number of buildable lots/dwelling units have increased by one (1). • The building lots formerly on the east side of the central park area in the single-family portion of the development have been relocated to the north side of the common area (and one additional buildable lot was added) to open the area up and transition better to the multi family development to the east; • A basketball court was added, a larger playground is proposed and amenities in the central common area in the single-family portion of the development have been relocated to the east side of the common area to open up the west side for a large open play area; Page 6 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 7,2020— Page 375 of 814 • The access driveway from the single-family to the multi family portion of the development was shifted to the north to line up with the new configuration of the park in the single-family portion for better pedestrian and vehicular connectivity between the two uses; • The common lot where the driveway connection to the multi family portion is proposed was widened from 50'to 105' and 12 parking spaces were added with landscaped street buffers and sidewalks on either side of the driveway; • The detached sidewalk along W. Waltman Ln. was widened from 5'to 10'for the entire frontage of the site; • Added 5'wide detached sidewalks along the east side of the off-site Corporate Road extension and along the north side of Waltman Ln. to Meridian Rd.; • The concept building elevations for the multi family apartments and clubhouse have been revised; • North/south 5'wide sidewalks have been added between apartment buildings in the central common areas leading to the amenities and sidewalks were added connecting breezeways to perimeter sidewalks around buildings. Also, the previous development application included a request for an amendment to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) to change the future land use designation of the property from Commercial to MHDR. At that time(in 2018), the City was in the process of amending the Comprehensive Plan and Council determined it was not in the best interest of the City to approve the application based on the following reasons: 1) Concern that the property would not be maintained consistently due to different ownership of the structures and associated areas;2)Desire for the Applicant to participate in the Comprehensive Plan update that was in process at that time rather than requesting an amendment to the FLUM outside of that process; 3)Preference for commercial employment type uses to develop on the site rather than residential as the original plan proposed; 4) Concern related to impact on area schools,proposed density and traffic (i.e. resulting safety hazards); and 5) Conclusion that the timing wasn't right for an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan and development of the site as proposed. The new Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in December of 2019, included a change to the FLUMfor this site from Commercial to MDR &MU-C which allows the proposed uses to develop on the site without an amendment to the FLUM. REZONE(RZ) A rezone of a total of 38.47 acres of land from the C-G to the R-8 (10.13 acres),R-15 (12.20 acres) and R-40(16.14 acres)zoning districts is proposed. The Applicant proposes to develop the site with a mix of residential housing types including single- family detached dwellings,townhome dwellings and multi-family apartments. The Allowed Uses table in UDC Table 11-2A-2 for residential districts lists single-family detached and townhome dwellings as principal permitted uses in the proposed R-8 and R-15 zoning districts; and multi-family development as a conditional use in the R-40 zoning district subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-27. A legal description and exhibit map for the rezone area is included in Section VII.A as well as individual legal descriptions and a map for each of the zoning districts proposed. The City may require a development agreement(DA)in conjunction with a rezone pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-651 IA. Because a DA already exists on this property,the Applicant requests a modification to the DA consistent with the proposed development plan. To ensure the site develops as proposed with this application, staff recommends the provisions included in Section VIII are included in the amended DA. Page 7 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 7,2020— Page 376 of 814 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN(ht(ps://www.meridiancity.org/compplan): This property is primarily designated MU-C(Mixed Use—Community) on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM)with a narrow sliver of Medium Density Residential(MDR) along the western portion of the site consisting of approximately 3 acres. Land Use: The MU-C designation allocates areas where community-servicing uses and dwellings are seamlessly integrated into the urban fabric. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses, including residential, and to avoid mainly single-use and strip commercial type buildings.Non-residential buildings in these areas have a tendency to be larger than in MU-N(Mixed-Use Neighborhood)designated areas but not as large as in MU-R(Mixed Use—Regional)designated areas. Goods and services in these areas tend to be of the variety that people will mainly travel by car to but also walk or bike to(up to 3 or 4 miles). Employment opportunities for those living in and around the neighborhood are encouraged. The MDR designation allows for dwelling units at gross densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre. Density bonuses may be considered with the provision of additional public amenities such as a park, school, or land dedicated for public services. Because FLUM designations are not parcel specific, an adjacent abutting designation,when appropriate and approved as part of a public hearing with a land development application,may be used but may not apply to more than 50%of the land being developed(see pg. 3-9). Transportation: Access is proposed via Waltman Lane at the project's north boundary and via the extension of W. Ruddy Dr. at the project's west boundary. Waltman Lane is currently classified as a local street but is being re- classified with the proposed development as a collector street due to the increase in vehicle trips per day generated by this development and the change in functionality of the street. The extension of Corporate Drive, including construction of a bridge over the Ten Mile Creek, from the north to Waltman Lane is proposed with the first phase of development; such improvements are proposed to be completed prior to issuance of building permits in Phase 1. The bridge across the Ten Mile Creek on Waltman Lane is proposed to be replaced with a 54-foot wide bridge with 2-foot parapets prior to the third phase of development to accommodate the increased traffic. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES(https:llwww.meridiancity.o- /g compplan): Goals,Objectives, &Action Items: Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this application and apply to the proposed use of this property(staff analysis in italics): • "Encourage a variety of housing types that meet the needs, preferences, and financial capabilities of Meridian's present and future residents."(2.01.02D) The proposed single-family detached and townhome dwellings and multi family apartments will contribute to the variety of housing types in the City as desired.A mix of alley-and front-loaded units are proposed as well. • "Improve and protect creeks and other natural waterways throughout commercial,industrial, and residential areas."(4.05.01D) The Ten Mile Creek which runs along the project's east boundary is proposed to be re-vegetated and improved with development on the west side that lies within the subject property. The creek should also be protected during construction. • "Permit new development only where it can be adequately served by critical public facilities and urban services at the time of final approval, and in accord with any adopted levels of service for public facilities and services."(3.03.03F) Page 8 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 7,2020— Page 377 of 814 City water and sewer services are available and can be extended by the developer with development in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. • "Avoid the concentration of any one housing type or lot size in any geographical area;provide for diverse housing types throughout the City."(2.01.01 G) Three(3) different residential housing type are proposed in this development(i.e. single-family detached, townhome and multi family apartments); a range of lot sizes are proposed ranging in size from 2,400 to 10,824 (sf.)which will accommodate a variety of housing styles consisting of I-and 2-story units as proposed. • "Limit canal tiling and piping of creeks, sloughs,laterals, and drains to man-made facilities where public safety issues cannot be mitigated or are not of concern."(4.05.01C) The Ten Mile Creek, which runs along the project's east boundary, is required to remain open as a natural amenity and not be piped. • "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land." (3.07.00) The proposed single-family and multi family residential development and site design with larger lots provided at the west, south and north boundaries as a transition to smaller internal lots and the multi family development on the eastern portion of the site should be compatible with existing residential uses to the west. • "With new subdivision plats,require the design and construction of pathway connections, easy pedestrian and bicycle access to parks, safe routes to schools, and the incorporation of usable open space with quality amenities." (2.02.01A) Pedestrian pathways are proposed to the amenities in the central common area in the single-family portion of the development, which connect to pathways in the central common area in the multi- family portion of the development and extend to the multi-use pathway along the Ten Mile Creek. The large central common area in the single-family portion and the linear open space in the multi family portion of the development provide much usable open space with quality amenities as desired. • "Encourage the incorporation of creek corridors as amenities in development design."(4.05.02C) The Ten Mile Creek corridor is proposed to be improved as an amenity with a segment of the City's regional pathway system along the west side. • "Ensure development is connected to City of Meridian water and sanitary sewer systems and the extension to and through said developments are constructed in conformance with the City of Meridian Water and Sewer System Master Plans in effect at the time of development."(3.03.03A) The proposed development will connect to City water and sewer systems; services are proposed to be provided to and though this development in accord with current City plans. • "Maximize public services by prioritizing infill development of vacant and underdeveloped parcels within the City over parcels on the fringe."(2.02.02) Although there are some County zoned properties to the north and east of this site, the larger area is surrounded by properties that have been annexed and developed in the City. Development of this infill property will result in more efficient provision of public services. • "Require urban infrastructure be provided for all new developments, including curb and gutter, sidewalks,water and sewer utilities."(3.03.03G) Urban sewer and water infrastructure and curb, gutter and sidewalks is required to be provided with development as proposed. Page 9 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 7,2020— Page 378 of 814 • "Require collectors consistent with the ACHD Master Street Map(MSM), generally at/near the mid- mile location within the Area of City Impact."(6.01.03B) The MSM does not depict a collector street in this area; however, because the proposed development will generate vehicle trips per day consistent with a collector street and serve as a collector street, ACHD is changing the classification of Waltman Ln. with this development from a local to a collector street. • "Slow the outward progression of the City's limits by discouraging fringe area development; encourage development of vacant or underutilized parcels currently within City limits."(4.05.03B) The proposed vacant parcels are within the City limits and the larger area is surrounded by properties already developed in the City. The development of this property will result in better provision of City services. In reviewing development applications,the following items will be considered in all Mixed Use areas,per the Comprehensive Plan(pg.3-13): (Staffs analysis in italics) • "A mixed-use project should include at least three types of land uses. Exceptions may be granted for smaller sites on a case-by-case basis. This land use is not intended for high density residential development alone." The proposed development only includes one (1) type of land use—residential; although several different types of residential uses are proposed(single-family detached, townhome and multi family apartments). • "Where appropriate,higher density and/or multi-family residential development is encouraged for projects with the potential to serve as employment destination centers and when the project is adjacent to US 20/26, SH-55, SH-16 or SH-69." Although employment uses are not proposed on the subject property, they may be developed in the future on the adjacent property to the east; the subject property abuts I-84 to the south and is in close proximity to Meridian Rd., which turns into SH-69 to the south. • "Mixed Use areas are typically developed under a master or conceptual plan; during an annexation or rezone request,a development agreement will typically be required for developments with a Mixed Use designation." An overall development plan is proposed for the MU-C designated site with the associated rezone application.A modification to the existing Development Agreement is also proposed consistent with the proposed project. • "In developments where multiple commercial and/or office buildings are proposed,the buildings should be arranged to create some form of common,usable area, such as a plaza or green space." No commercial and/or office buildings are proposed. • "The site plan should depict a transitional use and/or landscaped buffering between commercial and existing low-or medium-density residential development." The proposed plan depicts multi family residential apartments along the east boundary adjacent to C-G zoned land to the east. The Ten Mile Creek, which lies within a 100 foot wide easement, and associated pathway and landscaping will provide a natural transition and buffer between the proposed residential and future 31+/-acre commercial development to the east. • "Community-serving facilities such as hospitals, clinics, churches, schools,parks,daycares,civic buildings, or public safety facilities are expected in larger mixed-use developments." No such uses are proposed in this development although they may be provided in the adjacent C-G zoned property to the east when it redevelops in the future. Page 10 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 7,2020— Page 379 of 814 • "Supportive and proportional public and/or quasi-public spaces and places including but not limited to parks,plazas,outdoor gathering areas, open space, libraries,and schools are expected; outdoor seating areas at restaurants do not count." No such uses are proposed in this development although they may be provided in the adjacent C-G zoned property to the east when it redevelops in the future. • "Mixed use areas should be centered around spaces that are well-designed public and quasi-public centers of activity. Spaces should be activated and incorporate permanent design elements and amenities that foster a wide variety of interests ranging from leisure to play. These areas should be thoughtfully integrated into the development and further placemaking opportunities considered." A mix of uses is not proposed within this development although the proposed mix of residential types proposed within this development will contribute to the mix of overall uses in this area when the C-G zoned property to the east redevelops in the future, which should include public and quasi public centers of activity. • "All mixed-use projects should be directly accessible to neighborhoods within the section by both vehicles and pedestrians." The proposed development will be directly accessible to adjacent neighborhoods through extension of streets and internal pedestrian pathways and the multi-use pathway along the Ten Mile Creek at the east boundary of the site. • "Alleys and roadways should be used to transition from dissimilar land uses, and between residential densities and housing types." Alleys and roadways are proposed within the development to transition between different housing types as desired. • "Because of the parcel configuration within Old Town,development is not subject to the Mixed Use standards listed herein." The subject property is not located in Old Town, therefore, this item is not applicable. In reviewing development applications,the following items will be considered in MU-C areas, per the Comprehensive Plan(pgs.3-15 thru 3-16): • "Developments should comply with the general guidelines for development in all Mixed Use areas." See analysis above. • "All developments should have a mix of at least three land use types." The proposed development does not have a mix of land use types as desired; only residential land use is proposed. Staff anticipates additional land use types will be provided in the overall MU-C designated area when the C-G zoned property to the east redevelops in the future. • "Residential uses should comprise a minimum of 20%of the development area at gross densities ranging from 6 to 15 units/acre." Residential uses comprise the entire site at an overall gross density of 10.56 units per acre consistent with the gross density desired in MU-C designated areas. • "Non-residential buildings should be proportional to and blend in with adjacent residential buildings." Non-residential uses/buildings are not proposed in this development. • "Vertically integrated structures are encouraged." No vertically integrated structures are proposed. • "Unless a structure contains a mix of both residential and office, or residential and commercial land uses, a maximum building size should be limited to a 30,000 square-foot building footprint. For Page 11 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 7,2020— Page 380 of 814 community grocery stores,the maximum building size should be limited to a 30,000 square-foot building footprint. For community grocery stores,the maximum building size should be limited to a 60,000 square-foot building footprint. For the development of public school sites,the maximum building size does not apply." The building footprints for proposed residential uses are far below 30,000 square feet. • "Supportive and proportional public and/or quasi-public spaces and places including but not limited to parks,plazas, outdoor gathering areas, open space,libraries, and schools that comprise a minimum of 5%of the development area are required. Outdoor seating areas at restaurants do not count towards this requirement." Public and/or quasi public spaces and places are not provided in the proposed residential development; Staff anticipates these types of uses will be provided with development of the C-G zoned parcel to the east. • Where the development proposes public and quasi-public uses to support the development above the minimum 5%,the developer may be eligible for additional residential densities and/or an increase to the maximum building footprint." Public and/or quasi public spaces and places are not provided in the proposed development. Based on the analysis above, Staff fords the proposed plan is generally consistent with the vision of the Comprehensive Plan for this area in regard to land use,density and transportation. The exception is the desire for at least three(3)different land use types to be provided within the MU-C designated area— only one(1)land use type is proposed(i.e.residential).However, several different types of residential uses are proposed consisting of single-family detached,townhome and multi-family apartments with a mix of alley-and front-loaded garages which provides variety but does not meet the intent of this provision. As noted above,the Comprehensive Plan does allow for abutting designations to be applied. In this case, the western portion of the subject property and the property to the north across Waltman Ln., a local street,is designed MDR. Due to the existing and future residential nature of this area, Staff feels it's appropriate for the western half of the MU-C designated area to develop with medium density residential uses while the eastern portion develops with high density residential uses,which along with the 100-foot wide creek corridor,will provide a transition to future commercial/office uses from the medium density residential uses to the west and north. Commercial uses exist on the north side of Waltman Ln. east of the Ten Mile Creek,therefore, Staff believes it would be more appropriate for commercial uses to develop on the adjacent MU-C designated property to the east than on this property. For this reason, Staff is supportive of the proposed development plan and associated zoning requested. B. PRELIMINARY PLAT A preliminary plat is proposed consisting of 142 buildable lots and 18 common lots on 37.87 acres of land in the R-8,R-15 and R-40 zoning districts. The plat is proposed to develop in four(4)phases as shown in Section VILC with construction of a bridge over the Ten Mile Creek and extension of Corporate Drive from the north to Waltman Ln.with Phase 1,replacement of the bridge over the Ten Mile Creek on Waltman Ln. prior to issuance of building permits in Phase 3, and the berm along 1-84 with associated Phases 3 and 4. Because noise from the freeway will affect future residents in this area, Staff recommends the noise abatment in the form of a berm and wall as proposed is constructed in its entirety with the first phase of development as a provision of the Development Agreement. Existing Structures/Site Improvements: There are several existing structures on this site that are required to be removed prior to signature on the final plat for the phase in which they are located. Page 12 — Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 7,2020— Page 381 of 814 Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2): The proposed plat and subsequent development is required to comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Tables 11-2A-6 for the R-8 district, 11-2A-7 for the R-15 district and 11-2A-8 for the R- 40 district. Access(UDC 11-3A-3): One public street access is proposed via the extension of W. Ruddy Dr. at the west boundary and two accesses(one public street and one driveway) are proposed via W. Waltman Ln., an existing local street to be designated a collector street with this development. A stub street(S.W. 7'Ave.) is proposed to the property at the northwest corner of the site for future extension and access. Three(3)common driveways are proposed off internal public streets that are required to comply with and be constructed in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-6C-3D. The setbacks,fencing, building envelope, and orientation of the lots and structures accessed by common driveways shall be shown on an exhibit submitted with the final plat application. A perpetual ingress/egress easement shall be filed with the Ada County Recorder,which shall include a requirement for maintenance of a paved surface capable of supporting fire vehicles and equipment. Three(3) alleys are proposed off internal public streets that are required to comply with and be constructed in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-6C-3B.5. Road Improvements: Waltman Lane is proposed to be widened on the south side adjacent to the site with an additional 12 feet of right-of-way(ROW) (37 feet from centerline total), in addition to the existing 25 feet of ROW on the north side of Waltman Ln. The existing bridge on Waltman Ln. over the Ten Mile Creek is being replaced with a wider bridge; and Corporate Drive to the north is proposed to be extended across the creek to the south to Waltman Ln. with this development. Pathways(UDC 11-3A-8): A segment of the City's regional pathway is depicted on the Pathways Master Plan along the east side of the Ten Mile Creek. The Park's Dept. recommends the pathway is constructed on the west side of the creek instead with this development with a pedestrian bridge over the creek as proposed. A pedestrian easement is required to be submitted to the Planning Division for this pathway in accord with Park's Dept. requirements. Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17): Sidewalks are required to be constructed adjacent to all public streets as set forth in UDC 11-3A-17 as proposed. The UDC requires 5-foot wide detached sidewalks to be constructed along collector streets (i.e. W.Waltman Ln. and Corporate Dr.). Parkways (UDC 11-3A-17): Parkways are required to be constructed and landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-17E. Landscaped parkways are proposed along W. Ruddy Dr./S.Kearney Ave. and W. Waltman Ln. in accord with UDC standards. Landscaping(UDC 11-3B): Street buffer landscaping is required to be provided as set forth in UDC Tables 11-2A-6 for the R-8 district, 11-2A-7 for the R-15 district and 11-2A-8 for the R-40 district and planted in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-313-7C. Street buffers are required to be placed in a common lot and maintained by the Homeowner's Association. A 20-foot wide street buffer is required along W. Waltman Ln.,to be designated as a collector street with this development. The buffer is proposed to have a 3-foot tall landscaped berm with a 10-foot wide detached sidewalk. A 50-foot wide street buffer is required along Interstate 84 and is proposed to incorporate a 9-foot tall berm with a 5-foot tall solid wall on top. Page 13 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 7,2020— Page 382 of 814 Common open space areas are required to be landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3E. Landscaping is proposed in these areas in excess of the minimum standards. Landscaping is required to be provided along pathways per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C. A landscape strip a minimum of 5-feet wide is required along each side of all pathways planted with a mix of trees,shrubs,lawn and/or other vegetative ground cover with a minimum of one(1)tree per 100 linear feet of pathway; a 5-foot wide landscape strip should be added on the east side of the pathway along the creek in accord with this standard. Qualified Open Space& Site Amenities(UDC 11-3 : The overall development is subject to the qualified open space and site amenity standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3. A minimum of 10% qualified open space is required to be provided based on the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3B and a minimum of one(1) qualified site amenity is required. The common open space and site amenity standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-2 7for multi family developments apply in addition to this requirement(see analysis below under Conditional Use Permit). A qualified open space exhibit was submitted for the single-family(R-8 and R-15 zone) and multi- family(R-40 zone)portions of the development as shown in Section VII.E. A total of 3.14 acres(or 14.3%)of qualified open space is proposed in the single-family portion and a total of 4.07 acres (or 25.7%)is proposed in the multi-family portion of the development in excess of the minimum UDC standards. The multi family portion is also required to provide common open space per the standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-27C(see analysis below). Qualified site amenities are proposed in the single-family portion of the development consisting of children's playground equipment,pathways and a basketball court; and in the northern portion of the multi-family development consisting of a clubhouse area containing a swimming pool,pergola shade structure and a fire pit, internal pathways, a segment of the City's multi-use pathway system along the Ten Mile Creek and a pedestrian bridge across the creek to the east, and children's play equipment in the southern portion of the multi-family development in excess of UDC standards. Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7): All fencing constructed on the site is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. A 6-foot tall solid vinyl fence is proposed to replace the existing fence along the west boundary; a new 6-foot all solid vinyl fence is proposed along the north boundary of the R-8 zoned portion of the site, adjacent to internal common areas visible from the street, and between the R-15 and R-40 zoned portions of the site; a 6-foot tall wrought iron fence is proposed between the multi-family structures and the pathway along the Ten Mile Creek; and a 4-foot tall stamped solid SimTek fence is proposed on top of a 9-foot tall berm along 1-84 in accord with UDC standards. Because this site abuts 1-84 and residential uses are proposed, Staff recommends the noise abatement standards listed in UDC 11-3H-4D apply to this site as a provision of the amended DA. As mentioned above, a 9-foot tall berm with a 5-foot tall faux concrete(SimTek)wall is proposed along the southern boundary of the site parallel with 1-84(see exhibit in Section VII.D—the Applicant clarified that a 5-foot tall wall,not 4-foot,is proposed). To avoid a monotonous wall along I-84,the color and/or texture of the wall is required to be varied every 300 linear feet or the wall staggered every 300 linear feet as set forth in UDC 11-3H-4D.3c. Existing Easements: There is an existing 100-foot wide irrigation easement for the Ten Mile Creek held by NMID along the east boundary of the site as depicted on the plat, some of which lies on the adjacent property to the east. A 20-foot wide City sewer easement also exists along the east boundary of the site as depicted on the plat. Page 14 — Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 7,2020— Page 383 of 814 Waterways(UDC 11-3A-A): The Ten Mile Creek runs along the east boundary of the site and is required to be left open as a natural amenity and not be piped as set forth in UDC 11-3A-6B.1 as proposed. Flood Zone: A portion of the site along the east boundary lies within Flood Zone"A"per FEMA Map #16001CO232H. This site is not within the floodplain. Utilities(UDC 11-3A-21): Connection to City water and sewer services is required in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. Street lighting is required to be installed in accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. An existing 15 inch sewer main lies along the east half of the Waltman Ln. frontage and along the west top of bank of the Ten Mile Creek through the site. The 8 inch sewer main connection will be in Waltman Ln. and will serve the entire site via gravity sewer. An existing 12 inch water main is located in Waltman Ln. along the full frontage of the site. This subdivision will connect in Waltman at two locations and also to the existing 8" stub located at the Landing Subdivision stub street(Ruddy) at the west boundary.See Section VIII.B below for Public Works comments/conditions. Pressurized Irrigation System (UDC 11-3A-I5): A regional pressure irrigation pump station is proposed to be constructed with this development to NMID standards with a Ten Mile Creek takeout in the northeast corner of the site near Waltman Ln. Pressure irrigation distribution lines and individual lot services will be provided to all lots in the subdivision. Storm Drainage(UDC 11-3A-18): An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments in accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction shall follow best management practice as adopted by the City as set forth in UDC 11-3A-18. Storm drainage is proposed to be mitigated by underground seepage beds and/or retention ponds in accord with ACHD design criteria.If retention ponds are proposed in required landscape areas,they should be improved per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-11C. Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual): Conceptual building elevations were submitted for the proposed residential structures on the site as shown in Section VII.G. One and two-story single-family detached and townhome dwellings are proposed with a mix of front-loaded and alley-loaded styles in a mix of materials and colors. Single- story homes are proposed along the southern boundary adjacent to I-84. Two-story(Building Types 1 and 3) and three-story(Building Type 2) apartments and a clubhouse in the multi-family portion of the development are also proposed with a mix of materials and colors. Two-story structures are proposed along the north, south and west boundaries and three-story structures are proposed along the east boundary. All townhome and multi-family structures are required to comply with the design standards listed in the Architectural Standards Manual; single-family detached structures are exempt from this requirement. An administrative Design Review application is required to be submitted for approval of the design of all townhome structures in the development prior to submittal of building permit application for those structures.An application for Certificate of Zoning Compliance is also required to be submitted along with Design Review for the multi-family portion of the development. C. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT Conditional use permit for a multi-family development consisting of 272 residential units on 15.84 acres of land in the R-40 zoning district at a gross density of 17.17 units per acre.

FINDINGS A. Annexation and/or Rezone(UDC 11-5B-3E) Required Findings: Upon recommendation from the commission,the council shall make a full investigation and shall,at the public hearing,review the application. hi order to grant an annexation and/or rezone,the council shall make the following findings: 1. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan; The City Council finds the Applicant's proposal to rezone and develop the subject 38+/-acre property with a variety of residential uses is not consistent with the MU-C FL UM designation for the majority of the property in that a mix of uses is not proposed (i.e. commercial, office, residential, civic and industrial), only residential. Page 58 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 7,2020— Page 428 of 814 2. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district, specifically the purpose statement; The City Council finds the proposed map amendment and development complies with the purpose statement of the residential districts in that it will provide for a range of housing opportunities for the community consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare; The City Council finds the proposed map amendment should not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare; however, Council determined the proposed development is not consistent with the mix of uses desired in MU-C designated areas. 4. 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, school districts; and The City Council finds City services are available to be provided to this development. Area schools are currently under capacity but this may change with the addition of students from the proposed development and/or if boundaries are adjusted in the future. 5. The annexation(as applicable)is in the best interest of city. The City Council finds the proposed rezone is not in the best interest of the City based on the Council's determination that the proposed sole residential use of the property is not consistent with the MU-C designation. Further, Council didn't want to set a precedent by `floating"a FL UM designation (i.e. MDR) and burdening the adjacent property to the east with providing only the non- residential component of the mix of uses desired for this area per the Comprehensive Plan. B. Preliminary Plat(UDC 11-6B-6) In consideration of a preliminary plat,combined preliminary and final plat,or short plat,the decision making body shall make the following findings: (Ord. 05-1170, 8-30-2005, eff. 9-15-2005) 1. The plat is in conformance with the comprehensive plan and is consistent with this unified development code; (Ord. 08-1372, 7-8-2008, eff. 7-8-2008) The City Council finds the proposed plat is generally in conformance with the UDC; however, Council determined the proposed sole residential use of the property is not consistent with the MU-C designation in the Comprehenisve Plan in that a mix of uses aren't proposed. 2. Public services are available or can be made available ad are adequate to accommodate the proposed development; The City Council finds public services can be made available to the subject property and would be adequate to accommodate the proposed development. 3.

The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare; and The City Council finds the proposed development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare. 6. The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features. (Ord. 05-1170, 8-30-2005, ef£ 9-15-2005) The City Council is unaware of any significant natural, scenic or historic features that need to be preserved with this development. C. Conditional Use Permit(UDC 11-5B-6E) The Commission shall base its determination on the Conditional Use Permit requests upon the following: 1. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and meet all the dimensional and development regulations in the district in which the use is located. The City Council finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and dimensional and development regulations of the R-40 district(see Analysis, Section V for more information). 2. That the proposed use will be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accord with the requirements of this Title. The City Council finds that the proposed use is not consistent with the future land use map designation of MU-C in that a mix of uses aren't proposed as desired in the Comprehensive Plan for MU-C designated areas (see pg. 3-12). 3. That the design,construction, operation and maintenance will be compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential character of the same area. The City Council finds the proposed design of the development, construction, operation and maintenance should be compatible with other uses in the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of the area; however, the mix of other uses planned for this area and with the intended character of the area but is not consistent with the intended character of the area as a mix of uses aren't proposed. 4. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity. While City Council finds that the proposed use shouldn't adversely impact other properties in the vicinity, Council finds the proposed use is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the mix of uses desired in the MU-C designation. 5. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, schools, parks, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal,water,and sewer. The City Council finds that essential public services are available to this property and that the use could be adequately served by these facilities;however, City Council was concerned about the impact the proposed development would have on area schools.
