PZ - Pre-App Notes CITY OF MERIDIAN PRE-APPLICATION MEETING NOTES Project/Subdivision Name:Grammercy Commons Pre-app Meeting Date: 12/3/2020 City Staff:Joe Dodson, Bill Parsons, Brian McClure,Tom Walsh, Scott Colaianni,Amanda McNutt, Caleb Hood, Miranda Carson Applicant(s)/Contact(s): Intermountain Pacific, LLC—Mike Chidester,Aaron Elton; GGLO(Architect/Urban Design Firm)—Mark Sindell, Geoffrey Parks,Tom Sheldon Location: 1873/1925/2069 S.Wells Avenue Size of Property: 6.9 ac Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation: Mixed-Use Regional Existing Use:Vacant Existing Zoning: C-G Proposed Use: 55+Multi-family Development(different unit counts proposed) Must meet underlying zoning district dimensional standards (review UDC 11-2B-3) Proposed Zoning: C-G Surrounding Uses:Vacant to the east; Commercial to the north; Public school to the west; Partially developed residential to the south Street Buffer(s)and/or Land Use Buffer(s): 10' landscape buffer to any collector street(likely only Goldstone). Open Space/Amenities/Pathways: Open space and amenities are required to be provided according to the Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3-27, Multi-family Development). Pay close attention to both the common and private open space requirements. Late Spring, early Summer, expect changes to the open space code sections—these changes will be aimed at consolidated open space and ways to better make a sense of place within a project. No multi-use pathway is required but tying into the existing one along the north side of E. Goldstone St. Access/Stub Streets: Access for the apartments are shown as private drive aisles on the recorded plat—accesses shown conceptually appear to be with detached sidewalks and parkways. Drive aisles do not often have these amenities but Staff would appreciate the incorporation of street trees and detached sidewalks that create an entrance feature for the apartments much like the existing public road, S.Wells Ave. Waterways/Floodplain/TopographylHazards: N/A SewerMater: Density will increase required capacity committed to sites. Continue working with Public Works for flow(Tyson Glock for sewer, Kristina Keith for water;tglock j( meridiancity.org and kkeith j( meridiancity.org ).Any mains not used will need to be abandoned (abandoned back to the main that will be used for project).Wrap style is easier to serve as one main trunkline is required.If any easements are encumbered, those will need to be vacated (public hearing in front of Council). History:AZ-06-021 &PP-06-019(Kenai Subdivision) Additional Meeting Notes: Two different site designs proposed—3-story walk up versus 4-story internal access w/parking structure. Staff prefers 4-story"wrap"style over walk-up apartments. However, proposed concept plan is not consistent with existing DA and so a DA Modification will also be required. DA Mod and any Vacation will be required to be completed prior to obtaining CUP approval for multi-family. DA Mod and Vacation go to City Council only—CUP can be applied for at the same time but will be a separate application and will not be able to be approved until after obtaining approval for the other two applications. Staff sees pathway to support proposed use of age restricted multi-family but Narrative(as well as the overall design of the protect) must show why losing commercial acreage for more multi-family is appropriate.As discussed, inclusion of the mixed use comp plan policies will prove important and helpful to justify proposed use. Ensure proposed parking is more than the minimum as code changes may eventually require one quest space per 10 units (parking is always an issue in multi-family but quest parking becomes more important in age restricted developments as this demographic tends to have more visitors). Design Review is allowed to be applied for concurrently with CUP application, if desired.This would require complete elevations and not conceptual. Review Architectural Standards Manual for specific design requirements of MF. Police—Parking garage must be well-lit, as well as stairwells, elevators,etc.for public safety. 24-hour access will be required for police access via key card and geo-fencing in case of emergencies. Work with Police on how this will work for wrap style apartments (speak to Scott Colaianni, (208)846-7323, scolaianni anmeridiancity.org ) Fire—Ensure that fire marshal can sign off on type of emergency access proposed (underground reinforced grasses)and all other requirements. Buildings over 30' in height require minimum 26'wide emergency access Note:A Traffic Impact Study(TIS)will be required by ACHD for large commercial projects and any residential development with over 100 units. To avoid unnecessary delays&expedite the hearing process, applicants are encouraged to submit the TIS to ACHD prior to submitting their application to the City. Not having ACHD comments and/or conditions on large projects may delay hearing(s)at the City. Please contact Mindy Wallace at 387- 6178 or Christy Little at 387-6144 at ACHD for information in regard to a TIS,conditions,impact fees and process.
