The site is located west of Ten Mile Rd., south of Chinden Blvd. and north of Lost Rapids Dr. and is a lot within the Lost Rapids Subdivision. As you know, the Lost Rapids Subdivision is a project that was approved by the Meridian City Council to include commercial, single-family residential and the subject multi -family residential project. The final plat for the Lost Rapids Subdivision was approved by the Meridian City Council in 2019. Recordation of the plat is currently in progress, The subject site recently received Conditional Use Permit approval for the Lost Rapids Townhomes project (H-2019-0146). The present application is consistent with the approved site plan and applicable conditions of approval as discussed herein. W KIM-9 Blvd ' . --.. 9233 West State Street • Boise, Idaho 93714 • 209.639.6939 • kmengllp.com Certificate of Zoning Compliance The proposed Lost Rapids Townhomes project consists of a mix of townhome-style and garden -style multi- family unit buildings with a gross density of 17.8 dwelling units per acre. Building elevations and floor plans are included with this application to provide an idea of the kind of architecture and layout anticipated. Overall, there are nine buildings proposed comprised of 102 units, with 30 one -bedroom units, 51 two -bedroom units, and 21 three -bedroom units. Additionally, we plan to provide three ancillary buildings specifically for storage to accommodate residents' needs. The project complies with the dimensional and setback standards for the R-40 zone and the multi -family specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-27. Parking is proposed in excess of code requirements, with 198 spaces provided overall, 105 of which will be covered spaces. Eight bicycle parking spaces are proposed in total, as depicted on the enclosed landscape plan. The site and landscape plans have been updated in accord with the conditions of approval for the CUP. Revisions include additional pedestrian connectivity and a vehicular access point between Buildings H and I.

In accord le with the DA, a dense vegetative landscape buffer will be provided within the commercial portion of the development to supplement our landscaping and to provide adequate screening between the two uses. Qualified site amenities are proposed within the quality of life, open space and recreation categories as detailed in City Code. Amenities proposed include linear open space, a swimming pool, plaza with outdoor seating, BBQ and tables, clubhouse, a neighborhood business center in the clubhouse, fitness center, and a dog park. The project also includes pedestrian connectivity and open space throughout. Renderings and details regarding proposed amenities are enclosed with this application. City of Meridian Lost Rapids Townhomes CZC, DES PAGE 12 Design Review Elevations for the proposed townhome and apartment units are enclosed. The proposed buildings are cohesive and reflective of a high -end product and have been designed to integrate with and complement existing development in the area. The apartments will be three-story garden -style units located adjacent to the Costco building and drive aisle on the east side of the site. The two-story townhome units will be located at the south part of the site adjacent to Lost Rapids Drive. The placement of the townhome and apartment units were determined to provide an adequate transition for future and existing residents in the area; with smaller scaled buildings adjacent to Lost Rapids and in view of single-family residences to the south and three-story larger scaled buildings adjacent to the future commercial area. Proposed building materials for the residential units and clubhouse include board and batten and lap siding, brick, stucco, and complementary metal roofing. Modulation and articulation are proposed on all facades, with wood corbels, brick, awnings and other architectural features included. As depicted in the attached renderings, the color scheme will include grey, white, and earth tones. The aesthetic will be modern while incorporating many of the existing and planned construction materials used in the area. Parking lots have been designed in accord with City Code and to facilitate efficient and safe pedestrian and vehicular circulation, Pathways are proposed to be provided throughout the development, with sidewalks located to the south, on the east and micropathways connecting within. Conclusion We believe that our proposed site plan, landscape plan, and building elevations are consistent with the conditions and plans approved with the CUP and as required in the Development Agreement for the property. The Lost Rapids Townhomes project reflects the high -quality development conceptualized with previous entitlements, will complement surrounding residential and commercial uses, and provides additional housing opportunities for this growing area of Meridian.
