STAFF ANALYSIS A. Future Land Use Map Designation(hgps://www.meridiancity.org/compplan) Medium Density Residential—This designation allows for dwelling units at gross densities of three to eight 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. The proposed annexation area is surrounded by existing City of Meridian zoning. The proposed land use of detached single-family residential is consistent with the dwelling types noted in the Page 4 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 28,2020— Page 41 of 175 Exhibit A Future Land Use Map (FLUM)designation definitions. Certain densities are required to be met on this property and the proposed project meets the densities listed above. In addition, the proposed zoning and density are consistent with that of the surrounding development. Therefore, Staff finds the density proposed with the preliminary plat and proposed zoning district are consistent with the Future Land Use Map designation of Medium Density Residential. The subject site also has the Commercial future land use designation that was added when the comprehensive plan was revised in 2019. This applicant is choosing to utilize the residential designation rather than the commercial designation. Pursuant to the comments above, Staff supports the residential use and proposed R-8 zoning district in lieu of a commercial development as this is an extension of the existing Sagewood Subdivision on the east boundary. Further, the Hardin Drain, which runs along the north boundary,provides a natural transition between the proposed residential development and what could be commercial uses in the future along the Overland Road frontage. The City may require a development agreement(DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-651IA.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 HITA1. 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. Comprehensive Plan Policies(https:llwww.meridianciU.ot /�compplan): The applicable Comprehensive Plan policies are cited below with Staff analysis in italics. "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). The proposed R-8 zoning and proposed land use of single family residential is an extension of what exists near the subject site today. R-8 zoning and detached single-family homes are abundant in the immediate areas to the south and east but within a half mile of the site, there are a multitude of land-uses that include existing lower density residential, civic (school site, park site, and fire station), light-industrial, office, and multi family residential. Due to the nearby mix of existing and future uses and the size of this site, Staff finds the proposed project to meet the intent of this comprehensive plan policy. "With new subdivision plats, require the design and construction of pathways 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). This new subdivision does not offer additional multi-use pathways but will offer attached sidewalks and micro pathways that will help connect neighboring subdivisions together and create a more walkable neighborhood. W. Overland Road is labeled as a transportation corridor in the ACHD Master Street Map and additional pedestrian connections to this corridor are welcomed. This additional connection will allow easier pedestrian access for nearby developments that currently do not have said access to Overland Road. The open space proposed at the southern end of this development offers some actual usable open space for children but is not centralized. These areas (approximately 19,000 square feet combined) are only separated by a local street at the southern end of the property which helps create an area that will be more inviting to the neighborhood. However, the area in the northern portion of the subdivision, but central to the site, appears to be a token piece of open space to accommodate seepage beds. Staff finds the Page 5 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 28,2020— Page 42 of 175 Exhibit A open space to be adequate but not premier. The addition of a tot-lot with climbing boulders and the addition of a picnic area with public art help elevate the open space/amenity package in this development. "Reduce the number of existing access points onto arterial streets by using methods such as cross-access agreements, access management, and frontage/backage roads, and promoting local and collector street connectivity" (6.01.02B). The proposed street network is an extension of existing local street stub and the Applicant has chosen to close the existing access to W. Overland Road. Staff and ACHD support the internal local street connectivity because it is designed to integrate with the existing street network that was put in place with the developments to the south and east. The proposed access points easily meet the intent of this Comprehensive Plan policy. The City is currently processing a land use application for a commercial development on the property to the west and interconnectivity is an integral part to both of these applications. Staff has recommended this property owner and the property owner to the west meet and discuss this interconnectivity and possibly work together to create a shared access to Overland Road near the existing curb cut for the property to the west. Staff is unaware if this meeting has occurred. There is no guarantee that the application being processed for the property to the west will be approved as a commercial development and its existing zoning of R-8 could remain. If the property to the west develops as commercial an emergency only access should be provided; if it develops as residential, a full stub street should be provided to their western boundary. Staff has added a condition of approval regarding this in Section VIII.A of this staff report. "Provide housing options close to employment and shopping centers" (3.07.02D). The proposed Sagewood West development is in close proximity to existing employment and shopping centers. Within a half mile is a Wal-Mart, assisted living facility, water park, school, and the commercial intersection of Overland and Meridian Rd. These businesses offer both services and employment opportunities within walking distance of this subdivision. "Preserve,protect, and provide open space for recreation, conservation, and aesthetics" (4.05.0IF).As proposed, this development would provide approximately 12%open space for the subdivision. However, Staff has concluded that not all of this area meets UDC requirements as proposed. Staff is recommending conditions of approval to correct this and with that more open space would be available for both this subdivision and its neighbor to the east, Sagewood Subdivision. The open space proposed is provided via common open space lots at both ends of the development, north and south. Within the lots in the southern half of the plat, climbing boulders and a seating area with public art are proposed. In the northern half of the plat, there is a green space lot and a common lot with a micro pathway proposed. Staff finds that if the common lot with the pathway can meet UDC requirements to count towards linear open space, it would be a great addition of open space and pedestrian connection for this subdivision and adjacent subdivisions. Staff finds this development to be generally consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies and objectives. Page 6 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 28,2020— Page 43 of 175 Exhibit A C. Existing Structures/Site Improvements: There is an existing home located in the southern portion of the subject site. This residence will be removed from the property prior to development. There is also a private dirt/gravel driveway that comes from the existing access onto Overland Road—as discussed, this access will be closed by the Applicant and the private road will no longer exist. No other site improvements are known at this time. D. Proposed Use Analysis: The proposed use is single-family residential; single-family detached dwellings are listed as principally permitted uses in the R-8 zoning district per UDC Table 11-2A-2. This development is proposed as one (1)phase and all existing access points to Overland Road be closed. There is no requirement for an emergency access as this project is proposed with three (3) access points. According to the submitted preliminary plat, all lots appear to meet the required zoning and use requirements. E. Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2): All proposed lots and public streets appear to meet all UDC dimensional standards per the submitted preliminary plat. This includes property sizes, required street frontages, and road widths. In addition, all subdivision developments are also required to comply with Subdivision Design and Improvement Standards (UDC 11-6C-3). There is one (1) common driveway proposed and 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. F. Access(UDC 11-3A-3): Access is proposed via extending existing local street stubs into this development. The subdivision to the east has two stub streets to this site and the subdivision to the south has one stub street to this site. These three accesses are more than adequate to disperse traffic to nearby arterial roadways. During pre-application meetings with the Applicant, a stub street to the property to their west was requested by staff because they are currently zoned R-8 which would accommodate a residential development. However, the property to the west also has two future land use designations on it, residential and commercial. Because of this, the property owner to the west has recently submitted a Rezone application to change the zoning from R-8 to C-G with a proposed use of self-storage (the proposed use is RV storage but is proposed as a much more specific and encompassing use than traditional self-storage). Staff is recommending a condition of approval that this property provide a full public street stub to the property to the west unless it develops as commercial. This Applicant and the adjacent property owner should work together on the location of this stub. If the adjacent western property is developed as commercial, the public street stub Page 7 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 28,2020— Page 44 of 175 Exhibit A may be an emergency only access—both property owners should together with ACHD on the appropriate location for this access. G. Parking(UDC 11-3C): 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. No parking plan was submitted with the application. The proposed street sections (33 feet wide)shown on the submitted plat accommodate parking on both sides of the street. H. Pathways (UDC 11-3A-8): No multi-use pathways are proposed or required with this development. However, one of the proposed amenities are micro-pathways that connect the internal public roads to W. Overland Road. These connections will help improve pedestrian and cyclist connectivity along the arterial roadway. The submitted plat and landscape plan show a portion of the proposed micro pathway along the Hardin Drain, which is behind the homes along the northern property boundary. The proposed pathway does not show any trees along the pathway as is required by code. This is due to the drain easement not allowing trees within its easement. UDC allows Staff to require an additional five feet outside of the easement be provided so that trees can be added and therefore meet the landscaping requirements. Providing this additional five feet will still allow all affected building lots to meet the R-8 dimensional standards with a property depth of no less than 95 feet in length. Therefore, Staff is recommending a condition of approval to provide this additional five feet and subsequent landscaping along the rear property lines of Lots 4-10, Block 1. In addition, this section of pathway turns away from the building lots and is proposed to stop at the northeast property line which does not meet UDC requirements of being open at both ends. The Applicant states that this micro pathway will later connect to a common driveway that abuts the eastern property boundary but will have to go through the adjacent property to the northeast. Staff finds it difficult to fully support this micro- pathway layout because there is no guarantee that the property to the northeast will ever redevelop and add this small section of pathway. Staff recommends a condition of approval to continue the pathway behind Lots 1-3, Block 1, within a 20 foot wide common lot (UDC 11-3G-3 standards for qualifying linear open space) that connects to the existing common driveway that lays at the eastern property boundary in the adjacent Sagewood Subdivision. Again, this adjustment would still allow Lots 1-3, Block I to meet the required UDC dimensional standards for the R-8 zoning district. NOTE:In discussions with the applicant, it is their desire to negotiate an easement with the adjacent property owner to the northeast(parcel#S1224223106) to use a portion of the property to extend the pathway as shown on the attached open space exhibit. Although an easement may allow for the construction of the pathway, there is no guarantee this area will be landscaped and maintained like a typical common lot owned by an HOA.As an option, the applicant could try to purchase that portion of the property(SEC) so it can be incorporated into the proposed plat. Incorporating the property into this plat would require the applicant to obtain approval of a property Page 8 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 28,2020— Page 45 of 175 Exhibit A boundary adjustment application, amend the boundary of the proposed plat and submit a concurrent rezone application. Due to the complexity and timing needed to resolve this issue, staff believes the extension of the common lot along the north boundary of Lots 1-3,Block I is the most feasible solution. I. Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17): Five-foot attached sidewalks are proposed along all internal local streets. There is existing 5-foot wide attached sidewalks along W. Overland Road. Staff is not recommending that the existing sidewalk is removed. J. Landscaping(UDC 11-3B): A 25-foot wide street buffer is required adjacent to W. Overland Rd., an arterial roadway, landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. A common lot that is at least 25- feet wide at this section and contains the proposed micro-pathways is depicted on the plat and the correct number of trees appear to be shown on the submitted landscape plans (see Section VII.D). Common open space is required to be landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3E. The total square footage of common open space are included in the Landscape Calculations/Requirements table along with the required number of trees to demonstrate compliance with UDC standards. Pathways are required to be landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC 1I- 3B-12. See further analysis above (section VII.H) on proposed pathways landscaping conditions. The total linear footage of pathways and the required number of trees is not included on the submitted Landscape Calculations table. The landscape plan should be corrected to depict these calculations and the required number of trees (I tree for every 100 linear feet of pathway). K. Qualified Open Space (UDC 11-3G): A minimum of 10%qualified open space meeting the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-313 is required. Based on the proposed plat of 10.41 acres, a minimum of 1.04 acres of qualified common open space should be provided. The applicant is proposing 1.25 acres of open space (or 12.04%) consisting of common lots with open space, located on larger lots on the end caps of blocks. In addition, the Applicant is proposing micro-pathways along the northern property boundary that connect to W. Overland Road. Both of the common lots proposed at the end caps of the central block are more than 10,000 square feet in area, meeting the minimum UDC requirements to count towards qualified open space. The additional end cap lot in the southwest of site also meets these dimensional standards and is proposed with a qualifying site amenity (picnic area with public art). The other proposed open space is that area with the micro pathway contained within it in the north area of the development. The proposed pathway connects to the common driveway and heads north to connect to Overland Rd. The pathway also turns east and heads behind the building lots and runs along the northeast boundary, as discussed previously. As proposed, this linear open space with the pathway does not meet UDC standards for qualified open space as it is not open on both ends as required by Page 9 Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda July 28,2020— Page 46 of 175 Exhibit A UDC 11-3G-3B. Staff has calculated that if this area is not qualifying open space, the amount of qualified open space should be reduced by approximately 15,000 square feet. Without this area, the amount of qualified open space is reduced to about 0.9 acres which is below the required minimum 10%qualified open space. If the Applicant were to make the adjustments to the plat and open space per the conditions in this report and continue the pathway lot all the way along the northeast property boundary, this area and more could be added back into the qualified open space calculations. If this condition cannot be met, Staff recommends that at least one building lot be converted from a buildable lot to a common open space lot and additional open space be provided in order to meet the minimum 10%requirement. The adjacent subdivision to the east(Sagewood Subdivision) is operated by the same HOA that will operate this proposed development. Because of this, the Applicant does have the option of counting some of their excess open space with this development so long as both projects would then meet the minimum 10%open space. Sagewood Subdivision provided a park that is over an acre in size in addition to other qualifying open space. Staff finds that some of this area can count towards the qualifying open space within this development because of its proximity, two local street connections with attached sidewalks, and the existence of the same HOA governance. In the very southwest corner of the subject site there is a small sliver of open space located at the rear of Lot 26, Block I that does not have adequate visibility for emergency and police services. The Applicant is currently incorporating this odd sliver of land into their plat in order to help the City fix a surveying mistake from the past. In discussions with the Applicant, Staff has requested this property owner work with the property owner to the west to transfer this area to them. If this sliver is incorporated into the property to the west, the area will no longer be tucked away in a corner and would be usable space by that property owner. In doing so, the Applicant will have to adjust the boundary of the plat; Staff has included a condition of approval for this request in section VIII.A of this staff report. L. Qualified Site Amenities (UDC 11-3U): Based on the area of the proposed plat(10.41 acres), a minimum of one (1) qualified site amenity is required to be provided per the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3C. The applicant has proposed three (3) qualified amenities: a seating area with public art; a boulder play area; and micro-pathways. The proposed amenities exceed the minimum UDC requirements and Staff finds them appropriate for the development. M.
