FROM: Joseph Dodson, Associate Planner
RE: Alpha Development R-15 MDA (H-2021-0094)
Dear City Council,
The Development Agreement Modification application for Alpha Development R-15 (H-2021-
094)was continued by the Council at the December 21, 2021 hearing. The project was continued
following avid discussion on the proposed project and change to the subject R-15 parcel. The
main points of discussion surrounded the anticipated additional traffic generated by this project
and how current and future residents can and should access the nearby arterial street network and
nearby commercial uses.
Following the hearing, the Applicant made revisions to the concept plan to help address the
concerns discussed by City Council. The Applicant did not make any major changes to the
internal layout or proposal of two housing styles within the multi-family project(townhome style
units and apartment flat units). However, most notably, the Applicant did revise the north end of
their concept plan to depict a road connecting from San Vito Way to Vicenza Way(west to east)
that is separated from the development except for two driveway connections to it for access into
the development. The Applicant has confirmed they intend to construct this road as a public local
street to offer a public road connection from the west to the east for easier and safer access to
Wal-Mart, other commercial at the corner of Ten Mile and McMillan, and to N. Ten Mile Road
itself. Staff finds this addition to the plan would greatly improve accessibility and safety in this
quadrant of McMillan and Ten Mile.
Staff has included the.revised concept plan below'for reference. The revised concept plan
requires slightrevisions to one of_Staff's recommended DA provisions, as outlined below:
Community Development Department 33 E. Broadway Avenue, Suite 102, Meridian, ID 83642

buffer(12.5 feet) to the existing C-C zoning and property to the north(Parcel#S0427417210)
and shall work with the adjacent property owner to coordinate the drive w-a3_ shared connection to
