I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Modification to the existing Sundance Subdivision Development Agreement and Addendum
(Instrument Ws 102056126 and 106133465)to remove the subject property for the purpose of
entering into a new agreement to allow a reduction to the required 20-foot residential landscape buffer
to construct a 5,800 sq. ft. nursing and residential care facility consistent with approved conditional
use permit(H-2021-0040),by Hatch Design Architecture.
II. SUMMARY OF REPORT
A. Applicant/Representative:
Jeff Hatch,Hatch Design Architecture-200 W. 36th St.,Boise, ID, 83714
B. Owner:
Settler's Crossing LOC—7761 W. Riverside Dr, Ste 100,Boise, ID, 83714
III. STAFF ANALYSIS
The subject property is presently two vacant lots comprising 0.43 acres and is within the Settlers
Business Park(Sundance Subdivision No. 5). The subject property is within the Sundance
Subdivision Development Agreement, originally recorded in 2002 and modified in 2006.
On July 15, 2021,the Planning Commission approved a conditional use on the subject property to
allow a 5,800 sq. ft.nursing and residential care facility. The landscape plan of this facility reflected a
10' wide buffer adjacent to the residential properties to the north. However, a requirement of the
Sundance Subdivision Development Agreement is that due to the single family uses abutting the
boundary of the subject property, a minimum 20-foot planting strip is required along the northern
property line. Because this is a requirement of the DA, it can only be reduced through action of the
Council. Consequently,the Planning Commission approved the conditional use with the condition
Page 1
item#,o. EX H I BIT A
that the applicant either meet the 20' residential landscape buffer requirement, or request a
development agreement modification through the City Council prior to submitting a certificate of
zoning compliance application. As the Sundance Subdivision Development Agreement contains
several hundred residential properties as well as all the commercial properties within the Settler's
Business Park, staff recommended the applicant remove the subject properties from the existing
development agreement and enter into a new development specifically for the subject property.
The applicant states that per the Settlers Business Park Property Owners Association,the original
intent of this buffer requirement was to mitigate the impact of commercial properties on the adjacent
residential.According to the applicant,this development is a residential type use,so the requirement
was not meant to apply in this situation. The applicant added that fencing is provided between the
subject property and the properties to the north,and trees are provided in the proposed buffer at
approximately 12.5' spacing,which is almost three times the density required by 11-313-9 (requiring
35' spacing). The applicant submitted a letter of no objection from the Settlers Business Park
Property Owners Association and held a neighborhood meeting on August 17,2021 of which there
were no comments.
Because there are no objections,the applicant is providing fencing and nearly three times as much
density in the landscaping, and because of the low impacts to adjacent residential associated with a
nursing and residential care facility, staff does not object to the reduction in the buffer width. Staff
has reviewed the requirements of the original DA and the DA addendum. As the subject property is
located internally within the Settler's Business Park and all parking,infrastructure and public
improvements for the Sundance Subdivision and Settles' Business Park have already been
constructed,the only pertinent requirements of the existing DA are regarding the allowed uses and the
landscape buffer.
IV. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends the City Council approve removing the subject property from the Sundance
Subdivision Agreement and Addendum(Instrument Ws 102056126 and 106133465) and
establishing a new development agreement.:

applicant shall substantially comply with the site plan,landscape plan and building
elevations approved with conditional use permit(H-2021-0040).
2. The applicant shall be allowed to construct a 10-foot wide landscape buffer along the
northern boundary of the site as shown in Exhibit B.
B. The Meridian City Council heard these items on September 14,2021. At the public hearing the
Council moved to approve the subject development agreement modification request.
