RE: H-2020-0105 / Cache Creek Subdivision / 1560 E Victory Road
Alan,
The City of Meridian has requested feedback regarding a proposed annexation and
preliminary plat for the Cache Creek Subdivision, which will consist of 41 detached
single-family homes on 14 acres at 1560 E. Victory Road.
Ada County is supportive of the application due to the proximity of the site to
existing public services and due to its compatibility with the Future Land Use Map of
the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, as adopted by Ada County, which designates the
site as Low Density Residential, a designation which is primarily intended for single-
family residential development at densities of three units per acre or less.
The layout of the subdivision also complies with many of the goals of the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan, as adopted by Ada County. The proposal to set aside 2.23 acres
of the site as open space, and to provide a playground and seating area for the
residents is compatible with Goal 3.07.02A which encourages usable opens space to
be incorporated into residential subdivisions. The proposal to remove all existing site
accesses onto Victory Road and Locust Grove Road, and to have the subdivision
instead take access from local roadways is compatible with Goal 3.06.02D which
calls for restricting private curb cuts and access points on arterial streets.
The pedestrian connections which are proposed to Victory Road and to the
neighborhood to the west are compatible with Goal 3.07.02C, which requires
pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions together to promote
neighborhood connectivity. In order to provide greater connectivity to the east, it is
recommended that a pedestrian pathway to Locust Grove Road also be considered.
Thank you for this opportunity to provide feedback.
Sincerely,
Brent Moore, MCMP, AICP
