I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Modification to existing Development Agreements(H-2015-0019: Brighton Investments, LLC—Inst. #2016-
007072; SCS Brighton,LLC—Inst. #2016-007073; Murgoitio Limited Partnership—Inst. #2016-007074)to
replace the agreements with one new agreement based on the proposed development plan; ^rrexatio of nn nn
and,Rezone of 384.97 acres of land from the R-4 to the R-2 (0.70
acre),R-8 (144.78+ 119.28=264.06 acres),R-15 (76.93 acres) and C-C(43.28 acres)zoning districts.
Apex Northwest(NW): Preliminary Plat consisting of 120 residential buildable lots, 11 commercial buildable
lots and 14 common lots on 41.75 acres of land in the C-C and R-15 zoning districts.
Apex Southeast(SE): Preliminary Plat consisting of 237 residential buildable lots,2 commercial buildable lots,
30 common lots and 10 other(shared driveway)lots on 81.63 acres of land in the C-C and R-8 zoning districts.
Because right-of-way for E. Lake Hazel Rd. and S. Locust Grove Rd. separates the land proposed to be platted,
two separate preliminary plat applications are required to subdivide the property.

cannot be installed in the public right-of-way,then our preference would be for
utilities to be located in a dedicated and improved alley. If that cannot be
accomplished,the applicant should work with Public Works for further solutions

V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS(Comprehensive Plan)
Land Use: The Future Land Use Map(FLUM)contained in the Comprehensive Plan designates
approximately 39 aer-es of the site as I e w Density Residential it DRR ,206+/-acres as Medium Density
Residential(MDR); 21+/-acres as Medium High-Density Residential(MHDR); and 120+/-acres as Mixed
Use—Community(MU-C). A future school site and City Park is designated in the general area northwest of
the Locust Grove/Lake Hazel intersection,north of the MU-C designated area. Another school site is
designated on the east side of N. Locust Grove Rd.,north of Lake Hazel Rd.,just north of the subject rezone
area.
The LPR designa4ion allows feF the development of single family homes oft large a-ad estate lots at gross
densities of 3 dwelling units or-less per-aer-e. These areas eften transition between existing rufal r-esidefi4ial and
urban properties. Developments need to r-espeet agr-ieultufal heritage and r-eseufees,r-eeegaize view sheds and
open spaees, a-ad maintain or-improve the over-all atmosphere of the area. The use of open > ,
and other-. iate means shetil d o„h.nee the,.,.,,.actor of the area.
The MDR designation allows for dwelling units at gross densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre.
The MHDR designation allows for a mix of dwelling types including townhouses,condominiums, and
apartments. Residential gross densities should range from 8 to 12 dwelling units per acre. These areas are
relatively compact within the context of larger neighborhoods and are typically located around or near mixed
use commercial or employment areas to provide convenient access to services and jobs for residents.
Developments need to incorporate high quality architectural design and materials and thoughtful site design to
ensure quality of place and should also incorporate connectivity with adjacent uses and area pathways,
attractive landscaping and a project identity.
The purpose of the MU-C designation is to allocate areas where community-serving 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
Page 6
have a tendency to be larger than in Mixed Use—Neighborhood(MU-N) areas,but not as large as in Mixed
Use—Regional(MU-R) 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. Developments are encouraged to be designed according to the
conceptual MU-C plan depicted in Figure 3C in the Comprehensive Plan(see pg. 3-16). In reviewing
development applications,the items noted on Pgs. 3-13, 3-15 and 3-16 will be considered(see analysis below).
Transportation: ACHD's Master Street Map (MSM)depicts an east/west residential collector street at the
half mile between Amity and Lake Hazel Roads; a north/south industrial collector at the half mile between
Meridian and Locust Grove Roads north of the half mile between Amity and Lake Hazel Roads,which
transitions to a residential collector to the south to Lake Hazel Rd.; a commercial collector around the MU-C
designated area at the Locust Grove/Lake Hazel intersection(see dashed lines on map below), and a residential
collector along the southern boundary of Apex Southeast.A dual lane roundabout is planned at the Locust
Grove/Lake Hazel Rd. intersection.Note:Because a residential collector seems to be more appropriate than
an industrial collector street designation in this area,ACHD has included a change to the street classification
in the MSM update currently in process.
The proposed preliminary plats depict collector streets consistent with the MSM(i.e. E. Crescendo St. & S.
Apex Ave. in Apex Northwest; and E. Tower St., S.Vertex Way and E.Via Roberto St. in Apex Southeast).
The proposed Master Plan included in Section VIII.A, depicts conceptual street locations in the
annexation/rezone area; future preliminary plats should provide collector streets in accord with the MSM
as required by ACHD.

Proposed Development: The Applicant proposes to develop the 41.75 acre property at the northwest corner of
Locust Grove and Lake Hazel Roads in the MDR&MU-C designated areas with 120 single-family residential
units consisting of 32 attached units and 88 detached units, a future public elementary school, and
neighborhood-scale commercial uses as allowed in the C-C zoning district. The 81.63 acre property located at
the southeast corner of Locust Grove and Lake Hazel Roads in the MDR and MU-C designated areas is
Page 7
proposed to develop with 237 single-family residential detached units,a charter school, and commercial uses
as allowed in the C-C zoning district.
A City Park is not required to be provided with this development due to the proximity of Discovery Park at the
project's southeast boundary; however,the Park's Dept.would be willing to discuss the potential for a
partnership if desired by the Applicant.
The following Comprehensive Plan Policies are applicable to this development:
• "Encourage a variety of housing types that meet the needs, preferences, and financial capabilities of
Meridian's present and future residents."(2.01.02D)
A mix of single family attached and detached units(alley-loaded)are proposed in Apex Northwest; only
single-family detached units (front and alley-loaded) are proposed in Apex Southeast.
• "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)
City water and sewer service is 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)
A mix of single family attached and detached units (alley-loaded) are proposed in Apex Northwest;
only single-family detached units (front-and alley-loaded) are proposed in Apex Southeast.
• "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land."
(3.07.00)
The proposed residential uses should be compatible with existing rural residential/agricultural uses in
the area. The proposed design of the commercial and residential areas with streets separating the uses
should minimize conflicts.
• "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)
Internal pedestrian pathways are proposed through common areas for interconnectivity as well as to
the City Park on the east side of Apex Southeast and to perimeter sidewalks. Segments of the City's
multi-use pathway system are required in accord with the Pathways Master Plan (see Park's Dept.
comments in Section IX.E).Detached sidewalks are proposed along the arterial and collector streets
for safe pedestrian access. Usable open space and quality amenities are proposed(see detailed analysis
below in Section VIB).
• "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 required to be
provided to and though this development in accord with current City plans.
• "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 with the preliminary plats.
Page 8
• "Encourage the development of high quality, dense residential and mixed use areas near in and around
Downtown,near employment, large shopping centers,public open spaces and parks, and along major
transportation corridors, as shown on the Future Land Use Map."(2.02.01E)
Lake Hazel Rd. lies between the proposed preliminary plats and is classified as a residential mobility
arterial that is planned to be a major transportation corridor. A City Park(Discovery Park)abuts the
east side of the proposed Apex Southeast subdivision.All four corners of the Lake Hazel/Locust Grove
intersection are designated for mixed use (MU-C)development. Development in this area should be
high quality and more densely populated at a minimum of 6 units/acre in the MU-C designated area.
The gross density of Apex Southeast is only 3.75 units per acre while the density of Apex Northwest
is 5.62 units per acre.Staff encourages a higher density due to the location of this site adjacent to a
major transportation corridor and City Parr This could be attained through the inclusion of more
dense housing types such as more single-family attached units, townhome units and/or multi family
apartments.
• "Ensure development provides safe routes and access to schools,parks, and other community gathering
places."(2.02.01G)
Detached sidewalks and pathways are proposed throughout the proposed subdivisions for safe
pedestrian access to the future school sites, the City Park and neighborhood commercial/office uses.
• "Where feasible, encourage large transmission and pipeline utility corridors to function as transitional
buffers,parkland,pathways,and gathering spaces within and adjacent to their right of way."(3.07.01E)
A 75 foot wide easement for the Williams Northwest Gas Pipeline crosses this site and is depicted on
the Master Plan and preliminary plats as grassy open space area containing a multi-use pathway. No
structures are allowed within this easement.
• "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)
Collector streets are proposed on the preliminary plats in accord with the MSM; collector streets will
be required to be provided with future preliminary plats in accord with the MSM as required by ACHD.
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 includes four(4) different land use types—residential(single-family), civic
(i.e. amphitheater and community center), commercial and office.
• "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 a small portion of land proposed to be annexed with this application fronts on SH-69/S.
Meridian Rd., it is not proposed to redevelop with this application and is designated for LDR uses.
• "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."
A Master Plan is proposed with the rezone request for the portion of the property surrounding the Lake
Hazel/Locust Grove intersection designated as MU-C(see Section VIII.A).A Development Agreement
Page 9
is required as a provision of the rezone to ensure future development is consistent with the MU-C
FL UM designation.
• "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."
The Master Plan for Apex Northwest depicts a community center with a plaza and amphitheater in the
commercial portion of the development. The Master Plan for the commercial portion of Apex
Southeast nearest the intersection doesn't include a development plan—the future plan should
include some form of common, usable area such as a plaza or green space as desired as should other
future commercial/office areas in MU-C designated areas where future development is unknown at
this time.
• "The site plan should depict a transitional use and/or landscaped buffering between commercial and
existing low-or medium-density residential development."
There are no existing residential uses adjacent to proposed commercial development; therefore,
transitional uses and buffering aren't applicable.
• "Community-serving facilities such as hospitals,clinics, churches, schools,parks, daycares,civic
buildings, or public safety facilities are expected in larger mixed-use developments."
A public school is planned in Apex Northwest and a charter school is planned in Apex Southeast per the
Master Plan in accord with the FL UM which depicts two school sites in this general area.A community
center and amphitheater is proposed in the commercial portion of Apex Northwest. A 27-acre City Park
(Discovery Park) abuts the east side of Apex Southeast.A linear open space is planned where the
Williams Northwest Gas Pipeline easement is located.
• "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."
An outdoor amphitheater, community center with a plaza and charter school is proposed in this
development in the MU-C designated area. Discovery Park, a 27-acre regional City park, exists to the
east of Apex Southeast and includes picnic shelters,pathways, open play areas,play structures, a
splash pad, an off-leash dog park and ballfields.
• "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."
The public/quasi-public areas (i.e. community center and amphitheater)proposed in this development
are centrally located within the mixed use designated area in Apex Northwest. Discovery Park abuts
Apex Southeast and offers a wide variety of activities for area residents.
• "All mixed-use projects should be directly accessible to neighborhoods within the section by both
vehicles and pedestrians."
The proposed mixed use developments will be directly accessible to adjacent neighborhoods within the
section through extension of streets and internal pedestrian pathways.
• "Alleys and roadways should be used to transition from dissimilar land uses, and between residential
densities and housing types."
Roadways are proposed as a transition between residential and commercial land uses in both of the
proposed subdivisions; and alleys, roadways and common areas are proposed between residential
housing types and densities as desired.
Page 10
• "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 has a mix of residential, commercial, office and civic uses as desired.
• "Residential uses should comprise a minimum of 20%of the development area at gross densities
ranging from 6 to 15 units/acre."
Residential uses should comprise a minimum of 20%of the overall MU-C designated area at a
minimum density of 6 units/acre. Prior to development of the `future development"areas on the
Master Plan, a conceptual development plan should be submitted to ensure compliance.
• "Non-residential buildings should be proportional to and blend in with adjacent residential buildings."
The design, color, construction materials and height of non-residential buildings should be
proportional to and blend with adjacent residential buildings as desired.
• "Vertically integrated structures are encouraged."
No vertically integrated structures are proposed at this time but are encouraged to be included.
• "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
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 shown on the Master Plan do not exceed 30,000 square feet;future
development should be consistent with this guideline.
• "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."
A community center with a plaza area and amphitheater are proposed in Apex Northwest adjacent to
service commercial and office uses; a charter school is proposed in Apex Southeast. These types of
spaces and places and uses should be provided in all of the MU-C designated areas in accord with
this guideline. Linear open space containing a multi-use pathway is proposed where the Williams
Northwest Gas Pipeline easement is located.
• 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."
Although this is an option, the developer is not requesting an increase in density or in the maximum
building footprint allowed.
Staff believes the proposed development plan is generally consistent with the vision of the Comprehensive Plan
in regard to land use, density and transportation.

VI. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE ANALYSIS(UDC
A. Development Agreement Modification (MDA):
The Applicant proposes to modify the existing Development Agreements(H-2015-0019: Brighton
Investments, LLC—Inst. #2016-007072; SCS Brighton, LLC—Inst. #2016-007073; Murgoitio Limited
Partnership—Inst. #2016-007074)for this property in order to replace the agreements with one new
agreement based on the proposed Master Plan(see Section VIII.A).
The existing Development Agreements (DA's)were required with the South Meridian Annexation
application in 2015. Because that application was initiated by the City,no development was proposed at
that time. A"placeholder"zoning of R-4 was assigned to all of the properties with the requirement that
any future development would require an amendment to the DA's to approve any proposed development
plan. Existing allowed uses in the County pertaining to the raising or maintaining of livestock and
agricultural operations; an exemption to MCC 6-3-10,Firearms,Dischargeable Instruments; and existing
agreements for the collection of solid waste were allowed to remain and continue until such time as the
properties redeveloped in the future. With the proposed development,these uses are required to cease.
The existing DA's require any property or easements needed by the City to provide any sewer or water
infrastructure needed in furtherance of the agreement to be provided by the Owner at no cost to the City
for the intent of providing for the advancement of sewer and water infrastructure for the benefit of the
property,the City and adjacent properties for water mains, sewer mains and trunk lines. Because all of the
water and sewer infrastructure commitments have been met and have been constructed,these provisions do
not need to be carried over to the new DA.
Staff recommends the proposed Master Plan is included in the new DA along with the provisions for future
development listed in Section IX.A.1 to ensure compliance with the MU-C FLUM designation.
expired.B. Annexation & Zoning(A.Z)a
Anne*a4ion of Lot 4, Bleek 1 of Shafer-View Estates Subdivision eensisting of 40.09 aer-es of!and is

Page 12
C. Rezone(RZ):
A rezone of 384.97 acres of land from the R-4 to the R-2(0.70 acre),R-8 (144.78+ 119.28=264.06
acres),R-15 (76.93 acres)and C-C(43.28 acres)zoning districts is proposed.
The 0.70 of an acre of land proposed to be rezoned to R-2 is located directly to the east of the annexation
area on the west side of the future collector street depicted on the Master Plan. Because this property is
designated MDR on the FLUM,the R-4 or R-8 zoning districts would typically be the best zoning choices.
However,because this area will develop as part of the adjacent property to the west proposed to be
annexed with R-2 zoning, Staff recommends the adjacent LDR designation is used for the area proposed to
be rezoned as allowed in the Comprehensive Plan when deemed appropriate and approved as part of a
public hearing with a land development application(see pg. 3-9).No development is proposed at this time.
Future development is required to comply with the dimensional standards of the R-2 zoning district listed
in UDC Table 11-2A-4 and the allowed uses listed in UDC Table 11-2A-2.
The areas proposed to be rezoned to R-8 consisting of a total of 264.06 acres are primarily designated on
the FLUM as MDR but some of the area is within the MU-C designated area. The Master Plan does not
depict a conceptual development plan for much of the R-8 zoned area except for that to the south of the C-
C zoned area in Apex Southeast where single-family detached homes are proposed at a gross density of
3.75 units/acre. Because this area is in close proximity to a major transportation/mobility corridor
(E.Lake Hazel Rd.) and a City Park, a higher density in this area is encouraged.
The 76.93 acre areas proposed to be rezoned to R-15 lie within areas designated as MDR,MHDR and
MU-C on the FLUM. The Master Plan does not include a conceptual development plan for the portion in
the MHDR designated area. To ensure future development occurs consistent with the guidelines in the
Comprehensive Plan for MHDR designated areas, Staff recommends a DA provision requiring
future development to incorporate high quality architectural design and materials and thoughtful
site design to ensure quality of place; an alternative housing type such as townhomes and/or multi-
family is recommended.Connectivity with adjacent uses and area pathways, attractive landscaping
and project identity should also be provided.The majority of the remainder of the R-15 area is
designated MU-C with a small portion designated MDR.Alley-loaded single-family attached and detached
homes are depicted on the Master Plan in the MDR and MU-C designated areas included in the Apex
Northwest plat at the northwest corner of Locust Grove/Lake Hazel Roads in accord with the
Comprehensive Plan. A concept development plan is not proposed for the remainder of the area proposed
to be zoned R-15 north of the commercial area in Apex Northwest, on the south side of Lake Hazel and on
the east side of Locust Grove in the MU-C designated area. To ensure these areas develop consistent
with the general Mixed Use and MU-C guidelines in the Comprehensive Plan, Staff recommends the
DA is amended prior to development of these areas to include a conceptual development plan. Future
development should comply with the dimensional standards of the R-15 district listed in UDC Table 11-
2A-7,the allowed uses for the R-15 district listed in UDC Table 11-2A-2, and the general guidelines for
Mixed Use developments and specifically MU-C designated areas in the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed rezone of 43.28 acres of land to the C-C zoning district is consistent with the associated
FLUM designation of MU-C. The area at the northwest corner of Locust Grove and Lake Hazel Roads is
proposed to develop with a mix of neighborhood-serving commercial and office uses including a
community center and amphitheater; and the area on the south side of Lake Hazel,east of the Locust
Grove/Lake Hazel intersection is proposed to develop with a charter school as depicted on the Master Plan.
A conceptual development plan is not proposed for the MU-C designated areas at the southwest, southeast
and northeast corners of the intersection. To ensure these areas develop consistent with the general
Mixed Use and MU-C guidelines in the Comprehensive Plan, Staff recommends the DA is amended
prior to development of these areas to include a conceptual development plan consistent with these
guidelines.
Page 13
The Murgoitio property(Parcel#S1406110110)located southwest of the E.Lake Hazel/S.Locust
Grove Rd.intersection shown as an"NAP"should be included in a future subdivision of the
surrounding property(Parcel#S1406110350 or#S1406110015)in order to establish a legal division
of land. Or,if a parcel division was approved by Ada County for the current configuration of the
property,proof of such should be submitted to the Planning Division with a future subdivision
application for the surrounding property.
Legal descriptions with associated exhibit maps of the areas proposed to be rezoned are included in
Section VIII.B. Because the legal description and map for the R-2 zoned area includes 40.09 acres of
land that is part of the annexation request, Staff has requested the Applicant revise the description
to exclude that area; a revised legal description and exhibit map should be submitted prior to the
City Council hearing.
The City may require a development agreement(DA)in conjunction with a rezone pursuant to Idaho Code
section 67-6511A. Because a new DA is proposed to replace the existing DA's Staff recommends the
above recommended DA provisions are included in that agreement.
D. Preliminary Plats:
Two separate preliminary plats,Apex Northwest and Apex Southeast,are proposed due to ACHD right-of-
way(ROW) for Lake Hazel and Locust Grove Roads separating the properties. Because this overall
project will be developed as a single integrated project and marketed as such, analysis of both projects is
included in this report.
Apex Northwest consists of 120 single-family residential buildable lots for the development of 88 detached
and 32 attached dwelling units, 11 commercial buildable lots and 14 common lots on 41.75 acres of land in
the C-C and R-15 zoning districts. The minimum lot size proposed is 2,863 square feet(s.£)with an
average lot size of 3,885 s.f. The gross density proposed is 5.62 units/acre with a net density of 11.21
units/acre. The subdivision is proposed to develop in 3 phases as shown on the Phasing Plan in Section
VIII.D.
Apex Southeast consists of 237 single-family residential buildable lots,2 commercial buildable lots, 30
common lots and 10 other(shared driveway) lots on 81.63 acres of land in the C-C and R-8 zoning
districts. The minimum lot size proposed is 4,840 square feet(s.f.)with an average lot size of 7,058 s.f.
The gross density proposed is 3.75 units/acre with a net density of 6.17 units/acre. The subdivision is
proposed to develop in three(5)phases as shown on the phasing plan in Section VIII.D.
Overall,a total of 357 single-family residential buildable lots, 13 commercial buildable lots,44 common
lots and 10 other lots are proposed between the two subdivisions at a gross overall density of 4.22
units/acre and a net overall density of 7.27 units/acre.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
There are no existing structures within the boundaries of the proposed plats.
The Northwest Williams Gas Pipeline crosses the northeast corners of Apex Northwest(Lot 2,Block 6)
and Southeast(Lot 1,Block 9 and Lot 1,Block 14)subdivisions as depicted on the preliminary plats.
Development within this area should comply with the Williams Developers' Handbook.No structures
should be located within the easement.
Proposed Use Analysis:
The proposed single-family detached and attached dwellings are listed as a principal permitted use in the
R-8 and R-15 zoning districts; and an education institution is listed as a conditional use in the R-8 zoning
district per UDC Table 11-2A-2, subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-14. An
education institution and professional service(i.e. office) is listed as a principal permitted use in the C-C
Page 14
district, subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-14; other allowed uses in the C-C
district are listed in UDC Table 11-213-2.
Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
Development of the subject property is required to comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC
Tables 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district, 11-2A-7 for the R-15 district and 11-213-3 for the C-C district.
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, alleys, common driveways,
easements and block face.
The proposed lots in Apex Northwest are consistent with the dimensional standards of the R-15 and C-C
zoning districts. However,one of the alleys is not designed so that the entire length is visible from a
public street as required by UDC 11-6C-3B.5e;the plat should be revised to comply.Common
driveways that comply with the standards in UDC 11-6C-3D may be considered as an alternative.
The proposed lots in Apex Southeast are consistent with the dimensional standards of the C-C and R-8
zoning districts. Two(2) alleys and 10 common driveways are proposed in the residential portion of the
development that are consistent with the standards in UDC 11-6C-3. Such alleys and common driveways
should be constructed in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-6C-313.5 and 11-6C-3D. A perpetual
ingress/egress easement is required to be filed with the Ada County Recorder for the common
driveways,which shall include a requirement for maintenance of a paved surface capable of
supporting fire vehicles and equipment. 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. Address
signage should be provided at the public street for homes accessed via common driveways for
emergency wayfinding purposes.
Access(UDC 11-3A-3)
Access is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-3.
Apex Northwest: Two(2)public street accesses are proposed via E. Lake Hazel Rd., an arterial street, and
two (2)public street accesses are proposed via S. Locust Grove Rd., an arterial street. Collector streets(E.
Crescendo St. and S.Apex Ave.)are proposed in accord with the MSM.
Apex Southeast: Three(3)public street accesses are proposed via S. Locust Grove Rd., an arterial street,
and two(2)public street accesses are proposed via E.Lake Hazel Rd., an arterial street. Collector streets
(E. Tower St., S.Vertex Way and E. Via Roberto St.)are proposed in accord with the MSM.
Alleys are proposed for access to alley-loaded homes in Apex Northwest and Apex Southeast. Common
driveways are proposed for access to certain homes in Apex Southeast.
Cross-access easements should be provided between all commercial lots in the subdivisions as set
forth in UDC 11-3A-3A.2.
Road Improvements: The Applicant has proposed to enter into a Cooperative Development Agreement
(CDA)with ACHD to improve Lake Hazel Road abutting the site with(4) 11.5' wide travel lanes, a 19'
wide center landscape median,vertical curb, gutter, 8' wide planter strips and 10' wide detached concrete
sidewalks within 109' to 120. 5' of right-of-way(ROW)with the first phase of development. The
Applicant has proposed to construct dedicated right-turn lanes on Lake Hazel Rd. at Aspiration Ave.,Apex
Ave.,Peak Ave. and Vertex Way. Locust Grove Rd. abutting the site is proposed to be improved with(3)
12' wide travel lanes with 6.5' wide bike lanes,vertical curb, gutter, 8' wide planter strips and 5' wide
Page 15
detached concrete sidewalks within 77' of ROW. The specific conditions of approval pertaining to the
CDA are included in the ACHD report in Section IX.H.
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. Parking for non-residential uses is required per the standards listed in UDC
11-3C-6B.1.
Pathways(UDC 11-3A-8):
The Pathways Master Plan(PMP)depicts segments of the City's multi-use pathway system in the linear
area where the Williams gas pipeline is located and along the east boundary of the rezone area.
Pathways should be provided with development in accord with the PMP per the conditions from the Park's
Dept. in Section IX.E. All pathways shall be constructed in accord with the standards listed in UDC
11-3A-8 and the Pathways Master Plan.Landscaping shall be provided along either side of the
pathway in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-313-12C.Public pedestrian easements(14-feet
wide) should be provided prior to signature by the City Engineer on final plat phases in which
pathways are located.
Staff recommends two(2) additional micro-path connections are provided in Apex Southeast at the
east boundary to Discovery Park.
Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-1 :
The UDC(11-3A-17)requires, at a minimum, detached sidewalks to be provided along arterial and
collector streets and attached sidewalk to be provided along local streets.
Detached sidewalks are proposed along all internal local and collector streets and along the arterial streets
in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-17.
Parkways (UDC 11-3A-17):
Eight-foot wide parkways are proposed adjacent to all streets with detached sidewalks; all parkways are
required to be constructed in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-17.
Landscaping(UDC 11-3B):
A 25-foot wide street buffer is required adjacent to S. Locust Grove Rd. and E. Lake Hazel Rd.,both
arterial streets; and a 20-foot wide street buffer is required adjacent to E. Crescendo St., S. Apex Ave., E.
Tower St., S.Vertex Way and E. Via Roberto St., all collector streets,landscaped per the standards listed
in UDC 11-313-7C.Alternative Compliance may be requested to UDC 11-3B-7C.2a for street buffers along
collector streets to be located in a dedicated buffer rather than in a common lot.
Parkways are required to be landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-17 and 11-3B-
7C.
Landscaping is required along all pathways in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C as
discussed above.
Common open space is required to be landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3E.
Mitigation is required for any existing trees proposed to be removed from the site as set forth in UDC I I-
3B-10.C.5.
If the unimproved right-of-way is 10 feet or greater from the edge of pavement to edge of sidewalk
or property line,the Developer is required to maintain a 10 foot compacted shoulder meeting the
construction standards of ACHD and landscape the remainder with lawn or other vegetative ground
cover as set forth in UDC 11-3B-7C.5.A license agreement for improvements within the right-of-way
is required between the property owner and ACHD.
Page 16
Qualified Open Space(UDC 11-3 :
A minimum of 10%qualified open space meeting the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3B is required to be
provided with development of land in residential districts.
Based on the residential portion of the Apex Northwest plat(31.52 acres) zoned R-15, a minimum of 3.15
acres of qualified open space is required to be provided. Qualified open space consists of all of the street
buffers along collector streets,half of the street buffers along arterial streets,the 8-foot wide parkways
between the curb and detached sidewalk, linear open space at least 20' wide and up to 50' wide that has an
access at each end, and open grassy areas of at least 50' x 100' in area. Although an open space exhibit
was submitted that appears to meet the minimum standards,it includes areas in the C-C zoning
district that do not qualify toward the minimum requirements for the subdivision. Staff recommends
the exhibit is revised prior to the Council hearing to only depict areas that qualify per the standards
listed in UDC 11-3G-3B in order to ensure consistency with this standard.If additional qualified
open space is needed,the plat should be revised to comply.
Based on the residential area of the Apex Southeast plat(63.18 acres)zoned R-8, a minimum of 6.32 acres
of qualified open space is required to be provided. Qualified open space consists of all of the street buffers
along collector streets,half of the street buffers along arterial streets,the 8-foot wide parkways between
the curb and detached sidewalk, linear open space at least 20' wide and up to 50' wide that has an access at
each end, and open grassy areas of at least 50' x 100' in area. Although an open space exhibit was
submitted that appears to comply with the minimum standards,it includes areas in the C-C zoning
district that do not qualify toward the minimum requirements for the subdivision. Staff recommends
the exhibit is revised prior to the Council hearing to only depict areas that qualify per the standards
listed in UDC 11-3G-3B to ensure consistency with this standard.If additional qualified open space
is needed,the plat should be revised to comply.
Qualified Site Amenities(UDC 11-3 .
A minimum of one(1) qualified site amenity is required for each 20 acres of land to be developed in
residential districts as set forth in UDC 11-3G-3.
Based on the area of the residential portion of Apex Northwest(31.52 acres), a minimum of one (1)
qualified site amenity is required to be provided. A gazebo is proposed as an amenity in Lot 32,Block 5 as
an amenity; Staff recommends tables and benches are also provided as required for a"picnic area"
amenity.A community center and amphitheater are also proposed as public amenities in the adjacent
commercial portion of the development and a swimming pool is depicted on the Master Plan off-site on the
adjacent property to the north; however, these do not qualify as amenities for the residential portion of the
development proposed to be platted with this application.
Based on the residential area of the Apex Southeast plat(63.18 acres)zoned R-8, a minimum of three(3)
qualified site amenities are required to be provided. A swimming pool and children's play equipment
are proposed in a central common area and pedestrian pathways(multi-use pathway along E.Lake
Hazel Rd. and internal pathways)are proposed as amenities in this development in accord with
UDC standards.A detail of the children's play equipment should be submitted with the final plat
application.
Waterways(UDC 11-3A-dy"j:
There are no waterways within the boundary of the preliminary plats.
The Farr Lateral runs along the north and east boundaries;the McBirney Lateral crosses the site east/west;
and another waterway runs north/south through the annexation and/or rezone areas.
Fencing(UDC 11-3A- :
All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-6C and 11-3A-7. Fencing is
proposed as shown on the landscape plan.
Page 17
Six-foot tall wood picket fencing is proposed along end caps at the ends of residential lots adjacent to
common areas; and 5-foot tall clear vision metal fencing is proposed adjacent to internal common areas.
Storm Drainage:
An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments in accord with the City's adopted
standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction is required to follow Best Management
Practice as adopted by the City.
Irrigation: Underground,pressurized irrigation water is required to be provided for each and every lot
within the development in accord with MCC 9-1,Water Use and Service. Irrigation water will be provided
from Boise Project Board of Control.
Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual):
The Applicant submitted several perspective building elevations for the proposed single-family homes and
for the commercial structures planned to be constructed in this development which are included in Section
VIII.G. Homes depicted are a mix of 1-and 2-story units, attached and detached,with building materials
consisting of a variety of siding styles and stucco with stone/brick veneer accents.Final design is required
to comply with the design standards in the Architectural Standards Manual, single-family detached
dwellings are exempt from design review standards.
Because 2-story home elevations that face arterial and collector streets are highly visible, Staff
recommends as a provision of the DA that the rear and/or side of structures on lots that face E.Lake
Hazel Rd. and S.Locust Grove Road,arterial streets, and S.Vertex Way,E. Tower St.,E.
Crescendo St., S.Apex Ave. and E.Via Roberto St.,collector streets,shall incorporate articulation
through changes in two or more of the following: modulation (e.g.projections,recesses,step-backs,
pop-outs),bays,banding,porches,balconies,material types, or other integrated architectural
elements to break up monotonous wall planes and roof lines that are visible from the subject public
street.Single-story structures are exempt from this requirement.
A Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review application is required to be submitted and
approved prior to submittal of any building permit applications for the swimming pool facility and non-
residential/commercial structures. A Design Review application is required to be submitted for single-
family attached units; one application can be submitted for the overall development if desired. Design
review is not required for single-family detached homes.

Page 18
commercial areas);would like to see the zoning of the"future development"areas
remain R-4 rather than be rezoned to R-8;belief that farm land and open space should
be preserved as much as possible; concern that current school system does not have the
capacity to accommodate all of the students from this development;would like a
moratorium placed on development that has not already been approved to allow time for
the school district and roads to catch up and to have time to re-evaluate how we want to
use our dwindling remaining open spaces&farmland.
