To whom it may concern,
The proposal is for an annexation, rezone and pre-plat for an 8.8 acre site located in the Southeast
corner of Linder and W. Ustick rd. at 1515 W. Ustick Rd. The intent of the project is to rezone the
property to align with the Cities vision of a Mixed Use Development as three separate parcels which are
designed to work together and promote the City goals of providing more diverse options of housing as
well as Community Commercial uses adjacent to single family residential dwellings.
The project consists of a retail parcel (parcel A), a multi-family parcel (parcel B) and single family
component parcel (parcel Q. See sheet A1.1, site plan for referenced parcels. The project currently
resides as a single 8.8 acre parcel that is in the RUT zone. The intent is to annex the property into the
City and re-zone the property to Mixed Use Community. The property currently is bordered by 1 and 2
story single family residential to the South and East, Ustick Rd.to the North, and Linder rd.to the West.
The overall design provides ample connectivity with pedestrian pathways, bike parking and a community
commercial plaza and public art feature. Two single story buildings are proposed for site A to be future
Community Commercial. Two buildings are proposed for site B which are two story multi-family units,
for a total of four stories. 43 townhome lots are proposed for site C consisting of a detached single
family,two unit buildings, a three unit building, and a six unit building.
Site circulation is provided with a continuation of the public road NW 131"St. in the Northeast corner of
the site per ACHD requirements. This road exits the proposed site to the South. All other lanes are to
be private drives and are on a common lot. Site entrance signage is provided at both intersections of
private and public streets to denote the transition from the public street to private roads.
The current property is located in the floodway in the Southeast corner, which was designed around to
provide an open space amenity for the Community. The existing Kellogg Drain is to be re-located as
indicated on the Civil drawings and pre-plat drawings. Extensive conversations with the Nampa
Meridian Irrigation District have occurred to ensure we are aligned to the irrigation district requirements
for re-routing this existing ditch.

In conclusion, we have worked closely with City Staff to provide a site plan and building design that will
fit into the Mixed Use zone code requirements and bringing the Cities vision of a mixed use community
Thank you for your time and consideration for this Entitlement Application.
