V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
LAND USE:
This property is primarily designated on the Future Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan for High-
Density Residential(HDR),Mixed Use—Residential(MU-R),Mixed Use—Commercial(MU-C)and
Commercial uses with a small portion designated for MHDR(Medium High-Density Residential)uses
that is part of a larger MHDR designated area to the east. Development of this area is governed by the
Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan(TMISAP). Seepages 3-6 thru 3-9 in the Comprehensive Plan
for more information on these specific land use designations.
Conceptual development plans and/or uses have previously been approved with Development
Agreements(DA's) for the land proposed to be subdivided as follows: TM Center(Inst. #2014-065514),
Bainbridge Franklin(Inst. #2019-077071), Calnon(Inst. #2016-030845)and TM Creek East(Inst.
#2016-037777).
TRANSPORTATION:
No road improvements are planned adjacent to this site as Ten Mile Rd. is fully improved with 5-travel
lanes, curb and gutter; and Franklin Rd. is fully improved with 5-travel lanes with curb, gutter and 5-foot
wide attached sidewalk abutting the site. A traffic signal exists at the S.Vanguard Way/S. Ten Mile Rd.
intersection and a signal has been installed through the poles at the W. Franklin Rd./S. Wayfinder Way
intersection—ACHD will hang the mast arms when warranted. Conduit was also installed at the New
Market Ave./Franklin Rd. intersection with the Franklin Road widening project to accommodate
installation of a future signal which is required to be constructed through the signal poles and luminaires
prior to signature on the final plat. When ACHD determines it's warranted in the future,the District will
complete installation of the signal and put it into operation.
Street Network(3-17): The Transportation System Map included in the TMISAP (pg. 3-18) shown
below depicts collector streets through this site connecting to existing and future collector streets to the
north and south. These street locations coincide with the towncenter collector streets depicted on the
Master Street Map(MSM). Roundabouts are also depicted on the Map at the Cobalt/Wayfinder and
Vanguard/Wayfinder intersections,which have been constructed.

Two(2)north/south collector streets(S.Wayfinder Way and S.New Market Ave.)are proposed on the
plat in locations consistent with the Transportation System Map and the MSM. An east/west collector
street is not proposed along the southern boundary of the site because a collector street(W.Navigator
Dr.)was constructed further to the south with development of the adjacent TM Crossing subdivision,
which was deemed to meet the intent of the Maps and provide the desired east/west connection. Another
east/west collector street(W. Cobalt Dr.) is proposed through the middle of this site for a connection
between Ten Mile Rd. and New Market Ave. that is not depicted on the Transportation System Map or
the MSM,which provides more needed connectivity in this area.
Access Control(3-17): In order to move traffic efficiently through the Ten Mile area and optimize
performance of streets, direct access via arterial streets is prohibited except for collector street
connections. Access to arterial streets should occur via the collector road system. Two(2) driveway
accesses via Franklin Rd. are depicted on the plat.These accesses are prohibited unless specifically
approved by the City and ACHD. The City conceptually approved the eastern driveway access via
Franklin with the Bainbridge Franklin annexation as set forth in the DA(see provision#5.1i).
ACHD has not approved these accesses and is requiring a traffic analysis be submitted to
demonstrate additional driveways are necessary to serve the site.
Complete Streets(3-19): Streets should be designed to serve all users—motorists,bus riders,bicyclists,
and pedestrians, including people with disabilities. Bicycling and walking facilities should be
incorporated into all streets unless exceptional circumstances exists such as roads where bicyclists or
pedestrians are prohibited by law,where the costs are excessive,or where there is clearly no need. The
following are features that should be considered as a starting point for each street: sidewalks,bike
lanes,wide shoulders,crosswalks,refuge medians,bus pullouts, special bus lanes,raised
crosswalks,audible pedestrian signals,sidewalk bulb-outs,street furnishings and on-street
parking.The street sections depicted on the plat incorporate detached sidewalks/pathways,planter strips
and bike lanes along all streets and on-street parking and 2-way left turn lanes within Wayfinder and
New Market. The Applicant should address at the public hearing(or before the hearing in writing)
what other features are proposed in accord with this guideline.Staff believes the elements are
integral to Ten Mile area to keep many of the multi-modal options envisioned by the Plan.
Street Design(3-20): The TMISAP includes several street section types for specific uses and conditions
based on projected vehicular and pedestrian usage, desired parking conditions, specific physical
conditions,public emergency access, and streetscape character. Streets within the Ten Mile area should
be designed and sized to optimize pedestrian comfort and to facilitate slow-moving traffic. It's desirable
that lanes on streets be 11 feet in width with the exception of those lanes closest to the intersections with
Franklin and Ten Mile Roads which can increase to 12 feet from the point of the intersection with the
arterial street to the point of the intersection with another street or access point.
The Street Section Map contained in the TMISAP(pg. 3-22) shown below depicts specific street section
classifications for each of the streets shown on the Transportation System Map. These classifications
have both a functional and a design-related classification to balance the design considerations for
pedestrians and motorists.

The western north/south collector street(proposed as S. Wayfinder Way) designated as"E",which is a
minor collector street,will extend to the north to a future signalized intersection at W. Franklin Road and
to the south to Vanguard to a signal at Ten Mile Rd. This street should be constructed in accord with
Street Section E shown below with two(2) 11' travel lanes, 6' bike lanes, 18' diagonal parking and 12'
sidewalks with trees in wells (see pgs. 3-21 &3-23 in the TMISAP).
Minor collector streets serve as the primary retail streets and are pedestrian-oriented and defined by
street-level storefronts. Buildings are built to 12-foot wide sidewalks with street trees in wells and
pedestrian-scale lighting. A 5-foot wide dry-utilities corridor should be provided along both sides of the
street curb;both wet utilities may be located in the street; and streetlights should be placed in the dry
utilities corridor on either side of the street.

This street is designated on the Master Street Map (MSM)as a towncenter collector street,which differs
from the minor collector street in the TMISAP in that it has a center turn lane and parallel parking(see
ACHD's Livable Street Design Guide,pg. 23).
The proposed plat depicts a north/south collector street(S. Wayfinder Way)in alignment with that
shown on the Street Section Map and the MSM. The street section from the plat and a detail is shown
below consistent with a towncenter collector street and generally consistent with Street Section E except
that it has a center turn lane and on-street parallel instead of diagonal parking. This section may be
modified to allow parallel parking as a local section in these areas;parallel parking was allowed in the
section of Wayfinder north of the Ten Mile Creek bridge. Staff is amenable to parallel parking being
provided in this section of Wayfinder consistent with that to the north if determined appropriate
by City Council.Note: Construction plans for completion of this street were submitted to ACHD earlier
this year and have been approved per the ACHD report.

The eastern north/south collector street(proposed as S.New Market Ave.) designated as"D",which is a
residential collector street,will extend from Franklin Rd. to the south boundary of the site and connect to
Navigator Dr. in the TM Crossing project. This street should be constructed in accord with Street Section
D shown below with two(2) 11' travel lanes, 6' bike lanes, 8' parallel on-street parking, 8' planter
strips, 6' detached sidewalks and 10' buffers(see pgs. 3-21 &3-23 in the TMISAP).New Market will
connect to W. Franklin Rd. at the north boundary and extend to the south with future development of
TM Crossing subdivision to W.Navigator Dr.
Residential collector streets serve the local access needs of residential,live/work, and commercial
activities within a residential neighborhood or mixed use residential area. Buildings on these streets
should have limited setbacks behind the sidewalk and a tree lawn should be provided. On-street parking
is allowed. A 5-foot dry utilities corridor should be provided along both sides of the street curb;both wet
utilities may be located in the street; and streetlights should be placed in the dry utilities corridor on
either side of the street.

This street is designated on the Master Street Map (MSM)as a towncenter collector street and differs
from a residential collector street in the TMISAP in that it has a 11' center turn lane and no buffer(see
ACHD's Livable Street Design Guide,pg. 23).

The proposed plat depicts a north/south collector street(S. New Market Ave.)in alignment with that
shown on the Street Section Map and MSM. The street section from the plat and a detail is shown
below consistent with a towncenter collector street.ACHD has approved the street to be
constructed as a towncenter collector street consistent with the MSM although the MSM
designation differs from that on the Street Section Map in the TMISAP,which is a residential
collector street. Staff recommends the detached sidewalk on the east side of New Market is
constructed as a 10' multi-use pathway in accord with the Pathways Master Plan and buffers are
constructed at the back edge of the sidewalk/pathway where residential uses are proposed along
the street consistent with that depicted on Street Section D.Where residential uses are not
constructed along along the street,a 12' sidewalk/pathway with tree grates should be constructed.

The Street Section Map shown above,nor the MSM,depicts an east/west collector where W. Cobalt Dr.
is proposed to extend between Wayfinder and New Market although it does depict such further to the
south in alignment with the access via Ten Mile Rd. along the southern boundary of this site which was
actually constructed further to the south(i.e.Navigator Dr.) as discussed above. This southern section is
designated as a minor collector street("E") on the Street Section Map in the TMISAP and as a
towncenter collector on the MSM. The portion of Cobalt west of Wayfinder is designated as a residential
collector street(Street Section D). The proposed street will provide a connection from Ten Mile between
Wayfinder and New Market which Staff believes provides more connectivity in this area as desired.
The street section from the plat and a detail is shown below consistent with a towncenter collector street.
This segment of Cobalt was previously approved as part of ACHD's action on the TM Creek East
Apartments that's currently under construction. A buffer area was depicted on the landscape plan for the
apartments project on the north side of the street at the back edge of the sidewalk consistent with Street
Section D for residential collector streets;this should be continued to the east(and south if applicable)
with future residential projects.

Note: If land uses in this area change with a future PUD application,changes may be required to
the street sections approved with this application.If improvements are needed that can't be
accommodated in existing right-of-way,such improvements may be required to be placed in an
easement or additional right-of-way may need to be dedicated.
Streetscape(3-25): All streets should include street trees within the right-of-way. The proposed
development incorporates tree-lined streets with detached sidewalks throughout.
Public Art(3-47): Public art with a high quality of design should be incorporated into the design of
streetscapes.No public art is proposed. Staff recommends public art is provided in the streetscape in
accord with the TMISAP.
Public transit(3-25)—Commercial and employment activity centers need access by multiple modes of
transportation and should be pedestrian and transit friendly. Public transit is also important component of
residential developments as it effectively decreases parking needs by reducing the number of cars needed
for residents.
Transit stops should be designed with shelters for weather protection to patrons;the design of such
should be coordinated between the City,VRT and ACHD ensuring architectural consistency with the
general theme of the activity center. Transit locations should include pedestrian amenities such as
landscaping,pedestrian and landscape lighting,benches and trash receptacles consistent with the design
and location of the shelter
Valley Regional Transit(VRT)currently has an intermediate stop at Ten Mile Crossing in its Boise-
Nampa service. As the project's employment and residential population grows and more of the internal
street systems are completed,the opportunity for expanded transit service will also grow. The
Applicant's narrative states Stephen Hunt,VRT Principal Planner,has been tasked to work with
Brighton to determine the nature and timing of that service. Public transportation, specifically VRT
service and facility needs,is proposed to be addressed in the future with the PUD application. Staff
recommends public transit accommodations are provided in this development in accord with the
TMISAP.
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):
• "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.
• "With new subdivision plats,require the design and construction of pathway connections, easy
Page 12
pedestrian and bicycle access to parks, safe routes to schools,and the incorporation of usable open
space with quality amenities." (2.02.01A)
Pathways are proposed throughout the development along at least one side of internal public streets
as shown on the pathways plan in Section VIII.C. A pathway is planned with future development to
the school site to the east for connectivity and a safe route to the school. A multi-use pathway is
proposed within the Ten Mile Creek corridor as an amenity in accord with the Pathways Master
Plan.
• "Improve and protect creeks and other natural waterways throughout commercial,industrial and
residential areas."(4.05.01D)
The Ten Mile creek runs east/west through this site and is proposed to be improved as an amenity
corridor with a multi-use pathway.
• "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.
• "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 consistent with the MSM.
• "Provide pathways, crosswalks,traffic signals and other improvements that encourage safe,physical
activity for pedestrians and bicyclists."(5.01.01B)
Pathways are proposed within the development per the pathways plan in Section VIII.C. Crosswalks,
audible pedestrian signals and other improvements to encourage safety should be considered and
provided as appropriate for pedestrians and bicyclists.
• "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.
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS
A. PRELIMINARY PLAT
The proposed preliminary plat consists of 83 (74 commercial, 9 high-density residential)buildable lots
and 2 common lots on 132.42 acres of land in the R-8,R-40, TN-C, C-C and C-G zoning districts.
The plat is conceptually proposed to develop in six phases. Phase I consisting of multi-family
apartments in TM Creek East on Lot 16,Block 3 is currently under construction;no development has
occurred on the remainder of the site. Phase 2 is proposed to commence this year with the completion of
Wayfinder from Vanguard to Cobalt between the existing roundabouts. The development of Phases 3-6
may vary in area and sequence based on product need and market demand.
The proposed common lots will contain the Ten Mile Creek corridor which includes a 10-foot wide
segment of the City's multi-use pathway system on one side and the Nampa and Meridian Irrigation
District's (NMID)maintenance road on the other side(Lot 15,Block 3); and the relocated Von Lateral,
which will be deeded to NMID (Lot 1,Block 4).
Page 13
The Applicant is in the process of preparing a Planned Unit Development application which will govern
future development of this overall area in conjunction with the TMISAP. A modification to Development
Agreements governing this site to replace the agreements with one overall new agreement is also
anticipated along with a rezone to align zoning boundaries with the proposed lot conifgurations and
change the zoning of Lots 20 and 21 and remnant pieces of Lots 19 and 22 that are currently TN-C to
the R-40 zoning district.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
There are no existing structures on this site. West Cobalt Dr. has been constructed east of the
Cobalt/Wayfinder roundabout in front of the TM Creek East apartments project but the design of such
was not previously approved with a subdivision plat for consistency with the TMISAP. South Vanguard
Way from Ten Mile Rd. and the roundabout at the southwest corner of the site was constructed with the
TM Crossing development to the south.
Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
The proposed subdivision and subsequent development is required to comply with the minimum
dimensional standards listed in UDC Tables 11-2A-6(R-8), 11-2A-8 (R-40), 11-2B-3 (C-C and C-G)
and 11-2D-5 (TN-C), as applicable. Staff has reviewed the proposed plat and it complies with these
standards.
Access(UDC 11-3A-3):
Previous projects(i.e. TM Crossing and TM Creek)in this area established collector street intersections
with S. Ten Mile Rd. (i.e. Cobalt and Vanguard)and W. Franklin Rd. (Wayfinder); extension of these
streets(Wayfinder and Cobalt) are proposed with this application as depicted on the plat. One new
collector street access (New Market)is proposed via Franklin Rd. which will align with the segment of
New Market to be constructed to the south in TM Crossing Subdivision. The proposed access points,
road alignments and street sections generally conform with the Transportation System Map in the
TMISAP and the Master Street Map.
Two(2) driveway accesses are depicted on the plat via W. Franklin Rd. on Lot 4,Block 3 and Lot 4,
Block 4. The access on Lot 4,Block 4 was previously conceptually approved with the Bainbridge
Franklin annexation by the City(DA provision#1.1.1i)and ACHD(Site Specific condition#B.1) as a
temporary full access which may be restricted to a right-in/right-out at any time as determined by ACHD
—other than this access, all other access via Franklin on the Bainbridge Franklin site was prohibited. Per
the guidelines in the TMISAP for Street Section B (pg.3-22) and access control(pg.3-17),access
should be restricted to collector streets. The(UDC 11-3A-3) also limits access points to arterial
streets. City Council approval of the proposed driveway access on Lot 4,Block 3 is required;
ACHD has approved this access.
A cross-access/ingress-egress easement is required to be granted via a note on the plat between all
non-residential lots and to the parcel to the east(#R8580480020,Twelve Oaks)per requirement of
the existing DA for Bainbridge Franklin in accord with UDC 11-3A-3A.2.A note should also be
placed on the plat that direct lot access via S.Ten Mile Rd. and W.Franklin Rd.is prohibited
unless otherwise approved by the City and ACHD.
Pathways(UDC 11-3A-8):
The Pathways Master Plan(PMP)depicts segments of the City's multi-use pathway system on this site
as follows: on-street within the street buffer along Ten Mile Rd., along the Ten Mile Creek corridor and
along New Market Ave. Multi-use pathways are required to be 10-feet wide within a 14-foot wide public
pedestrian easement with landscaping on either side per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C.
A pathways plan was submitted by the Applicant, included in Section VIII.0 that depicts 8 to 10-foot
wide pathways throughout this site and the adjacent properties owned by the same developer consistent
with the PMP totaling 3.5 miles of pathways. These pathways connect to the City's multi-use pathways
Page 14
and provide a pedestrian connection to the school site to the east. Pathways and associated
landscaping should be depicted on a revised landscape plan submitted with the final plat(s)in
accord with UDC standards and the Pathways Master Plan as recommended by the Park's Dept.
Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17):
The UDC(11-3A-17)requires minimum 5-foot wide detached sidewalks along all collector and arterial
streets. In the Ten Mile area,wider sidewalks are required ranging from 6 to 12 feet depending on
the street section classification; detached sidewalks should be provided at the widths noted in the
Plan as discussed above in Section V.
Parkways (UDC 11-3A-17):
Parkways are required to be landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C in accord with the
TMISAP,which requires 8-foot wide tree lawn areas between the curb and sidewalk, except for Street
Section E(i.e. Wayfinder and New Market; and Cobalt if non-residential uses are developed on the south
side of the street)where trees should be in wells between the street and walkway.
Landscaping(UDC 11-3B):
Street buffers are required to be provided along all streets as follows: 25-feet wide along W. Franklin
Rd., 35-feet wide along S. Ten Mile Rd., and 20-feet wide along S.Wayfinder Ave.,W. Cobalt Dr., S.
New Market Ave., and S.Vanguard Way,measured from back of curb, landscaped per the standards
listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. The landscape plan submitted with the final plat(s) should depict
landscaping as required.
Qualified Open Space& Site Amenities(UDC 11-3G):
Common open space and site amenities are required to be provided in residential developments of five
acres or more in size per the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3. Although a portion of this site is planned
to develop with residential uses in the future,no development is proposed with this application. Future
development should comply with the standards in UDC 11-3G-3 as applicable.
As mentioned above, 3.5 miles of pathways are proposed in the area shown on the pathways plan in
Section VIII.0 as an amenity for this development.
Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
No fencing is depicted on the landscape plan. All fencing constructed on the site is required to comply
with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-6 and 11-3A-7.
Waterways: The Kennedy Lateral and the Ten Mile Creek run east/west across this site and the Von
Lateral runs across the northeast corner of the site.
The Ten Mile Creek lies within a 100-foot wide easement in Lot 15,Block 3 and is a natural waterway;
as such, it should remain as a natural amenity and not be piped or otherwise covered and be improved
with the development and protected during construction in accord with UDC 11-3A-6. A maintenance
road exists for NMID on the north side of the creek and a multi-use pathway is planned on the south side
of the creek.
The Kennedy Lateral lies within a 55-foot wide easement and is required to be piped unless left open and
improved as a water amenity or linear open space.
The Von Lateral lies within a 40-foot wide easement and is proposed to be relocated along Franklin Rd.
in Lot 1,Block 4 and deeded to NMID.
Utilities(UDC 11-3A-21):
Connection to City water and sewer services is required in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. Street lighting is
