IV. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS(Comprehensive Plan)
The Future Land Use Map(FLUM)contained in the Comprehensive Plan designates this property as
Mixed Use -Neighborhood(MU-N).
The purpose of the Mixed-Use designation is to provide for a combination of compatible land uses
within a close geographic area that allows for easily accessible and convenient services for residents
and workers. The intent is to promote developments that offer functional and physical integration of
land uses,to create and enhance neighborhood sense of place, and to allow developers a greater
degree of design and use flexibility.
NOTE: Given the limitations with surrounding land uses,existing development pattern,poor
access and bifurcation of the property with the extension of SH 16,it is not feasible to achieve
full integration of uses as desired in MU-N areas.However,the applicant's narrative does
discuss how they believe the proposed development is consistent with the MU-N designation.
The purpose of the MU-N designation is to assign areas where neighborhood-serving uses and
dwellings are seamlessly integrated into the urban fabric. The intent is to avoid predominantly single-
use developments by incorporating a variety of uses.Land uses in these areas should be primarily
residential with supporting non-residential services.Non-residential uses in these areas tend to be
smaller scale and provide goods or services that people typically do not travel far for(approximately
one mile)and need regularly. Employment opportunities for those living in the neighborhood are
encouraged. Connectivity and access between the non-residential and residential land uses is
particularly critical in MU-N areas. Tree-lined,narrow streets are encouraged. Developments are also
encouraged to be designed according to the conceptual MU-N plan depicted in Figure 3B of the
Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed development consists of a total of 93 single-family detached dwellings, an LDS
seminary, a lot to be donated to the Boys and Girls Club for a future facility and commercial(research
&development)uses consisting of one(1 20) 000 square foot(s.f.)research and development facility
and one(1) 12,000 s.£ research and development greenhouse with 8,000 s.f. tenant offices. The gross
density of the residential area is 3.00 units per acre,which is significantly less than the desired range
of 6 to 12 units per acre in MU-N designated areas. The primary use proposed is residential as
desired; however,no supporting non-residential services are proposed. Although commercial uses
(i.e. employment opportunities)are proposed on the east side of the development,they are not
directly accessible from the proposed neighborhood due to the future extension of SH-16 through the
site which will separate the residential from the commercial uses.
In reviewing development applications,the following items will be considered in MU-N areas:
(Staffs analysis is in italics)
Page 5
• Development should comply with the items listed for development in all Mixed-Use areas as
follows:
o A mixed-use project should include at least three types of land uses. Exceptions may be
granted for smaller sites on a case-by-case basis. This land use is not intended for high
density residential development alone. The proposed development includes three 0 four
k&different land use types (i.e. residential, commercial o ace and civic).
o Where appropriate,higher density and/or multifamily residential development is
encouraged for projects with the potential to serve as employment destination centers and
when the project is adjacent to US 20/26, SH-55, SH-16 or SH-69.Due to limited access
for the western portion of this site and constraints due to the future extension of SH-16
through this site with no access allowed via the highway, Staff is of the opinion a higher
density development is not appropriate for this site. Additionally,for the same access
constraints, the western portion of this site is not viable as an employment center.
o Mixed Use areas are typically developed under a master or conceptual plan; during an
annexation or rezone request, a development agreement will typically be required for
developments with a Mixed-Use designation.SMffr-eeemmend-s a " +vlar, ,,nf
guidelines are met in the absenee of a eoHeeptual development plan. A conceptual
development plan was submitted after the Commission hearing for the non-residential
portion of the development as shown in Section VIT H.A development agreement is
required as a provision of annexation with the provisions listed in Section VIII.A.1.
o In developments where multiple commercial and/or office buildings are proposed,the
buildings should be arranged to create some form of common,usable area, such as a
plaza or green space.If multiple buildings oreproposed in the eonintereial developmen
area ati the east side ejq�itu,-e SH 16, the site sheuk4 be designed aiid bHildings arqwnged
iti eard with this gHide hie. The conceptual development plan shown in Section VILH
depicts a plaza area between the two commercial buildings.
o The site plan should depict a transitional use and/or landscaped buffering between
commercial and existing low-or medium-density residential development. Commercial
uses consisting of research &development facilities and tenant offices are proposed on
the east side of future SH-16. The future highway will provide a separation between the
commercial and residential uses.
o Community-serving facilities such as hospitals, clinics, churches, schools,parks,
daycares,civic buildings, or public safety facilities are expected in larger mixed-use
developments.An LDS seminary and a lot for a future Boys& Girls Club is proposed on
the L-O zoned lots which will provide community-serving uses within the development.
o Supportive and proportional public and/or quasi-public spaces and places including but
not limited to parks,plazas, outdoor gathering areas,open space,libraries, and schools
are expected; outdoor seating areas at restaurants do not count.A high school(Owyhee)
abuts this site on the west.A plaza is proposed on the conceptual development plan
between the two commercial structures.
o Mixed-use areas should be centered around spaces that are well-designed public and
quasi-public centers of activity. Spaces should be activated and incorporate permanent
design elements and amenities that foster a wide variety of interests ranging from leisure
to play. These areas should be thoughtfully integrated into the development and further
placemaking opportunities considered.Although a mix of residential, civic and
commercial uses are proposed, this isn't a typical mixed-use development due to the
Page 6
Item#3.
limited access&connectivity available to the site and the future extension of SH-16
through this site.
o All mixed-use projects should be accessible to adjacent neighborhoods by both vehicles
and pedestrians. Pedestrian circulation should be convenient and interconnect different
land use types.Vehicle connectivity should not rely on arterial streets for neighborhood
access. Two vehicular accesses (local streets)with pedestrian sidewalks alongside and a
pathway through a connected common area (i.e. Lot 9, Block 2) are proposed between
the development to the north (Chukar Ridge) and the subject development. Pedestrian
connections are also proposed for interconnectivity between the high school campus to
the west and the proposed seminary and lot where a Boys & Girls Club is anticipated to
develop along the west boundary of the site. A multi-use pathway is proposed through the
common area along the east boundary of the site, which will provide a connection
between adjacent developments to the north &south. Because SH-16 will bisect this site,
it's not feasible for the commercial portion of the site to be connected to the
residential/civic portion of the site.
o A mixed-use project should serve as a public transit location for future park-and-ride lots,
bus stops, shuttle bus stops and/or other innovative or alternative modes of transportation.
Because this site doesn't have direct access via a collector or arterial street, a public
transit facility is not feasible on this site.
o Alleys and roadways should be used to transition from dissimilar land uses, and between
residential densities and housing types.Roadways are proposed as a transition between
residential and civic uses. Only one housing type (i.e. single-family detached) is
proposed.
o Because of the parcel configuration within Old Town, development is not subject to the
Mixed-Use standards listed herein. This guideline is not applicable.
In reviewingdevelopment evelopment applications,the following items will be considered in MU-N areas:
(Staf's anal
vsis in italics)
• Development should comply with the items listed for development in all Mixed-Use areas.
See analysis above.
• Residential uses should comprise a minimum of 40%of the development area at gross
densities ranging from 6 to 12 units/acre.Residential uses comprise 76%of the developable
area including open space;however, the gross density proposed of 3.0 units per acre is
significantly below the target density noted in the guidelines for development in MU-N
designated areas. Because this site does abut a future highway, staff has also calculated what
the residential acreage would be if the buffer along the state highway was removed. With the
buffer removed, the developable acreage would total approximately 21.22 acres; increasing
the density for 3 units to the acre to 4.38. Staff is of the opinion that additional density can be
accommodated within the proposed development. The applicant could provide a more diverse
mix of dwelling units in the form of alley-load, townhomes, or secondary dwelling units, as
submitted one type of dwelling is proposed. The feasibility of multi family in the area is
desirable as there is no employment proposed for the portion of the property that is mostly
residential. Staff anticipates higher densities to development on the property directly south of
this one based on its designation of Mixed-use Regional. In making the finding for
consistency with the plan the Commission and Council should determine if the proposed
density is appropriate for this project due to the limiting factors noted in this section of the
report.
Page 7
Page 78
Item#3.
• Non-residential buildings should be proportional to and blend in with residential buildings.
Future civic buildings should comply with this guideline.
• Three specific design elements should be incorporated into a mixed-use development: a)
street connectivity,b)open space, and c)pathways. Street connectivity, open space and
pedestrian pathways are proposed in this development and connect to the abutting residential
development to the north and the future development to the south.
• Unless a structure contains a mix of both residential and office, or residential and commercial
land uses,maximum building size should be limited to a 20,000 square-foot building
footprint. For the development of public school sites,the maximum building size does not
apply.None of the proposed structures exceed a 20,000 square foot building footprint.
• Supportive and proportional public and/or quasi-public spaces and places such as parks,
plazas, outdoor gathering areas, open space,libraries,and schools should comprise a
minimum of 10%of the development area. Outdoor seating areas at restaurants do not count
towards this requirement.Although not on this site, a high school exists on the adjacent
property to the west; a large amount of open space (5+/-acres) is proposed along the east
boundary of the residential development abutting the SH-16 corridor.A total of 19.1%
qualified open space is proposed overall.
• Where the development proposes public and quasi-public uses to support the development
above the minimum 10%,the developer may be eligible for additional residential densities
and/or an increase to the maximum building footprint.None are requested.
• A straight or curvilinear grid or radiating street pattern is encouraged for residential areas,
and most blocks should be no more than 500' to 600' long, similar to Old Town or Heritage
Commons; larger blocks are allowed along arterial streets. The proposed development
generally meets this guideline.
The following Comprehensive Plan Policies are applicable to this development:
• "Encourage a variety of housing types that meet the needs, preferences, and financial
capabilities of Meridian's present and future residents."(2.01.02D)
Only one housing type,single-family detached, is proposed in this development. Other housing
types(i.e. single-family attached units, townhomes,secondary dwellings or multi family)could
be added to this development for variety, which would increase the density of the development
more in line with the guidelines for mixed use designated areas. However, because of the
limited access to this site, Staff is hesitant to recommend more units be provided in this
development. If Commission feels a variety of housing types at a higher density should be
provided more in line with the MU-N designation, Commission should require revisions to
the plat accordingly.
• "Permit new development only where it can be adequately served by critical public facilities
and urban services at the time of final approval, and in accord with any adopted levels of
service for public facilities and services."(3.03.03F)
City water and sewer service is available in Chukar Ridge Subdivision to the north and can
be extended by the developer with development in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. The
emergency response time for the Police Dept.falls within the established goals. At this time,
the emergency response time for the Fire Dept.falls outside of the 5-minute response time
area; once Fire Station No. 8 is constructed in the summer of 2023, it will meet the response
time goal.
Page 8
Page 79
Item#3.
• "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land."
(3.07.00)
Staff believes the proposed uses and site design are compatible with each other and with the
existing high school to the west.
• "Ensure development is connected to City of Meridian water and sanitary sewer systems and
the extension to and through said developments are constructed in conformance with the City
of Meridian Water and Sewer System Master Plans in effect at the time of development."
(3.03.03A)
The proposed development will connect to City water and sewer systems;services are
required to be provided to and though this development in accord with current City plans.
• "With new subdivision plats,require the design and construction of pathway connections,
easy pedestrian and bicycle access to parks, safe routes to schools, and the incorporation of
usable open space with quality amenities."(2.02.01A)
A 10 foot wide multi-use pathway is proposed within the common open space area adjacent
to future SH-16, which stubs to the north and south for interconnectivity with adjacent
development; other pathway connections are proposed to this pathway throughout the
development. A pedestrian pathway is also proposed to the high school campus to the west.A
substantial amount of usable open space&quality amenities is proposed in this development.
• "Evaluate comprehensive impacts of growth and consider City Master Plans and Strategic
Plans in all land use decisions (e.g.,traffic impacts, school enrollment, and parks)."(3.01.01A)
A Traffic Impact Study(TIS) was required by ACHD for this development and was taken into
consideration in ACHD's report.
WASD submitted comments stating that approximately 93 school aged children are estimated
to be generated by this development; enrollment at the affected schools is currently under
capacity.
The closest City Park to this site is Seasons Park, a neighborhood park consisting of 7.13
acres, to the southeast of W. Ustick Rd. and N.McDermott Rd.A future City Park is
designated on the FL UM within a half mile of this site to the northwest.
• "Require all development to create a site design compatible with surrounding uses through
buffering, screening,transitional densities, and other best site design practices."(3.07.01A)
The proposed site design features a large linear common open space area as a transition and
buffer between the proposed residential area and future SH-16. Lots proposed along the
northern boundary are compatible in size and area with those in Chuker Ridge.
• "Require urban infrastructure be provided for all new developments, including curb and
gutter, sidewalks,water and sewer utilities."(3.03.03G)
Urban sewer and water infrastructure and curb, gutter and sidewalks are proposed as
required with this development.
In summary, Staff believes the proposed development plan is generally consistent with the vision
of the Comprehensive Plan per the analysis above.Although the proposed density is below that
desired in MU-N designated areas and there are no supporting services for the residential
development, Staff believes the proposed development is appropriate for this area based on the
lack of access available to the site from collector or arterial roadways. The LDS seminary and
land proposed to be donated for a Boys & Girls Club will provide religious and childcare

facilities within close proximity to the high school on the abutting property to the west which will
be a benefit for area residents and the community.
V. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE ANALYSIS(UD0
A. Annexation:
The proposed annexation area consists of 40 acres of land with R-8 (31..59 27.63 acres),L-O
(1.64 acres)and M-E(6777 10.72 acres)zoning districts. As discussed above in Section IV.,the
uses proposed in this development are consistent with the MU-N FLUM designation.
The proposed residential use(i.e. single-family detached homes) is principally permitted in the R-
8 district; future development should comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table
11-2A-8. The LDS seminary(i.e. church or place of religious worship)is principally permitted in
the L-O district, subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-6;the Boys&Girls
Club(i.e. civic, social or fraternal organization)is a conditional use in the L-O district, subject to
the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-7; and research and development is a principal
permitted use in the M-E district—future development should comply with the dimensional
standards for the applicable district in UDC Table I1-2B-3.
The property is contiguous to City annexed land to the north and west and is within the City's
Area of City Impact boundary. A legal description and exhibit map of the overall annexation area
along with individual legal descriptions and exhibit maps for the R-2 and R-4 zoning districts are
included in Section VIII.A.
The City may require a development agreement(DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant
to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. To ensure future development is consistent with the
development plan proposed with this application and with the Comprehensive Plan, Staff
recommends a new DA is required with this application,containing the provisions noted in
Section VIII.A, as discussed herein.
Beeause a eeneepttial developmeRt plan wasn't ineltided in this appheation for-the eemmer-eial
develepmen4 plan for-that;ea Ohat is e-A-asistent with the development guidelines in the
Comprehensive Plan for-the MU N designation. After the Commission hearing, a conceptual
development plan was submitted for the commercial M-E zoned portion of the site that is
consistent with the development guidelines in the Comprehensive Plan for the MU-N designation.
B. Preliminary Plat:
The proposed preliminary plat consists of a total of 112 lots consisting of(93)buildable lots and
(13)common open space lots on 3 1.5927.63 acres of land in the R-8 zoning district; (2)
buildable lots on 1.64 acres of land in the L-O zoning district; (1)buildable lot on 6—.7-7 10.72
acres of land in the M-E zoning district; and(3)future right-of-way lots on 40 acres of land for
Aviator Springs Subdivision. The future ROW for SH-16 totals 7.9 acres and the McDermott
ROW is 0.8 of an acre.
The subdivision is proposed to develop in two(2)phases as shown on the preliminary plat. The
first phase will contain the land on the west side of future SH-16 and the second phase will
contain the land on the east side.
The Applicant requests approval for one building permit for the LDS seminary building to be
issued prior to subdivision of the property. Because there are no structures on this property, Staff
is amenable to the request.

Item#3.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
There are no existing structures or site improvements on this property; it's currently agricultural
land.
Subdivision Design and Improvement Standards (UDC 11-6C-3):
Development of the subdivision is required to comply with the subdivision design and
improvement standards listed in UDC 11-6C-3, including but not limited to streets and block
face. The proposed plat complies with these standards.
Access(UDC 11-3A-3)
Access is proposed to the western portion of the development via the extension of two(2)local
streets from the north from Chukar Ridge Subdivision.A temporary emergency access easement
has been granted to the subject property by WASD through the school property until such time as
another acceptable secondary access is provided to the site that meets Fire Dept. requirements.
Future SH-16 is planned to bisect this site on Lot 1,Block 5. Access is proposed to the eastern
portion of the site via N. McDermott Rd. Direct access via future SH-16 is prohibited. One(1)
stub street is proposed to the south for future extension and interconnectivity.
Typically, a street generally paralleling the state highway is required with development to provide
connectivity and access to all properties fronting the state highway that lie between the
Applicant's property and the nearest section line road and/or half mile collector road. Because the
developments to the north(i.e. Chukar Ridge&Gander Creek) did not provide such a road, Staff
is not requiring one with this development. The stub street to the south is located at the back edge
of the street buffer along future SH-16,which can be extended to the south to Ustick Rd. in
accord with UDC 11-3H-4B.3.
Parking(UDC 11-3C):
Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC Table 11-
3C-6 for single-family detached dwellings based on the number of bedrooms per unit. Garages
and parking pads in driveways are proposed to satisfy this requirement.
The proposed street sections accommodate on-street parking on both sides of the streets for guests
in addition to driveway parking spaces on each lot; 146 spaces are proposed for guests in the
residential area along with another 28 spaces as depicted on the parking plan in Section VII.E.
Staff is of the opinion sufficient parking can be provided for this development.
Off-street parking is also required for the 600 square foot building/changing rooms at the
community swimming pool. A minimum of(1) space is required; a total of 11 spaces are
proposed, including(1)ADA space,in excess of UDC standards.
Pathways(UDC 11-3A-8):
The Pathways Master Plan does not depict any required multi-use pathways on this property. A
10' wide multi-use pathway is proposed within the common open space area adjacent to future
SH-16. The pathway is required to be placed in a 14-foot wide public use easement,which
shall be submitted to the Planning Division prior to submittal for City Engineer signature
on the final plat(s) for Phase 1.
Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17):
Sidewalks are required to be provided adjacent to all streets as set forth in UDC 11-3A-17.
Detached sidewalks are proposed within the development as depicted on the landscape plan.
Parkways (UDC 11-3A-17):
Eight-foot wide parkways are proposed along all internal public streets where detached sidewalks
are proposed. All parkways should be constructed in accord with the standards listed in UDC I I-
3A-17E.Because tree-lined streets are desired in MU-N designated areas, Staff recommends
Page 11
Page 82
Item#3.
trees and landscaping are added within all parkways per the standards in UDC 11-3A-17E
and 11-313-7C.
Landscaping(UDC 11-3B):
A 35-foot wide street buffer is required on both sides of future SH-16, a state highway and
entryway corridor. Landscaping is required to be installed within the buffer per the standards
listed in UDC 11-3B-7C,which require a mix of trees and shrubs, lawn, or other vegetative
groundcover—shrub should be included in the buffer in accord with this standard.A dense buffer
is proposed on the west side of future SH-16 consisting of a mix of deciduous&coniferous trees;
shrubs should be added as required by UDC 11-313-7C. No buffer is depicted on the east
side of future SH-16; a minimum 35-foot wide street buffer is required in a common lot or a
permanent dedicated buffer with landscaping included on the landscape plan in accord with
UDC standards.
Common open space is required to be landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-
3G-3E. At a minimum, one tree per 8,000 square feet of common area is required to be provided
along with lawn or other vegetative groundcover. Landscaping is proposed in excess of UDC
standards as shown on the landscape plan in Section VII.C.
Landscaping is required adjacent to all pathways per the standards in UDC 11-3B-12C. A 5' wide
landscape strip is required on both sides of pathways planted with a mix of trees, shrubs, lawn
and/or other vegetative ground cover. The Landscape Requirements table should include the
linear feet of pathway with the required vs.proposed number of trees to demonstrate
compliance with UDC standards.
Landscaping is required within parkways per the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-17 and 11-3B-
7C. The Landscape Requirements table should include the linear feet of parkways within
the development with the required vs.proposed number of trees to demonstrate compliance
with UDC standards.
Qualified Open Space(UDC 11-3G�:
A minimum of 10% qualified open space meeting the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3B is
required for developments over 5 acres in size. Based on the area of the plat,40 acres, a minimum
of 4 acres of qualified open space is required. The open space exhibit in Section VII.D depicts
7.64 acres(or approximately 23.8%) of common open space for the development in excess of the
minimum standards. The exhibit includes all of the street buffer along future SH-16,whereas only
50%of the buffer qualifies per UDC 11-3G-3B.4; however,the amount of open space still
exceeds the minimum standards.
Qualified Site Amenities (UDC 11-3G�
A minimum of one(1) qualified site amenity is required for developments over 5 acres in size
and up to 20 acres,with one(1)additional amenity required for each additional 20 acres of
development area.
Based on a total of 40 acres of the residential development area, a minimum of two (2) qualified
site amenities are required.A swimming pool with changing rooms,pedestrian pathways,
additional qualified open space of at least 20,000 square feet in area and children's natural play
structures are proposed as amenities in excess of the minimum UDC standards.
Storm Drainage:
An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments in accord with the City's
adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction is required to follow
Best Management Practices as adopted by the City. The Applicant submitted a Limited
Geotechnical EngineeringReport for the subdivision.

Item#3.
Pressure Irrigation(UDC 11-3A-151:
Underground pressurized irrigation water is required to be provided for each and every lot in the
subdivision as required in UDC 11-3A-15.
Utilities (UDC 11-3A-21):
Utilities are required to be provided to the subdivision as required in UDC 11-3A-21.
Waterways(UDC 11-3A-6):
The Eight Mile Lateral is a large open waterway that crosses the southwest corner of the site lies
within a 50-foot wide irrigation easement that is proposed to be piped.
The UDC allows waterways such as this to remain open when used as a water amenity or linear
open space as defined in UC 11-1A-1; otherwise,they are required to be piped or otherwise
covered per UDC 11-3A-613. The decision-making body may waive this requirement if it finds
the public purpose requiring such will not be served and public safety can be preserved.
Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6 and 11-3A-7)•
All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. A 6-foot tall open
vision metal fence is proposed adjacent to internal common open space areas to distinguish
common from private areas. A 6-foot tall solid vinyl fence is proposed at the back edge of
landscape buffers along local streets and at the rear of building lots facing future SH-16. A 6
Noise Attenuation Wall(11-3H-4D :
Noise abatement is required for residential uses adjoining a state highway. A berm or berm and
wall combination is required to be constructed parallel to the state highway that meets the
standards listed in UDC 11-3H-41). A 6-foot tall fence/wall is proposed on the landscape plan that
does not meet the required standards as there is no berm proposed.
In accord with City Council's direction on previous developments to the north(i.e. Chukar
Ridge& Gander Creek subdivisions), Staff recommends a 6-foot tall berm with a 6-foot tall
wall on top of the berm is constructed within the buffer along future SH-16.The berm/wall
is required to be a minimum of 10-feet higher than the elevation at the centerline of the
state highway; the wall must meet the standards in UDC 11-311-41).3.A detail of the
proposed berm/wall combination that demonstrates compliance with the standards listed in
UDC 11-311-41) and as recommended by Staff should be was submitted with the fina
for-the first phase of developm after the Commission hearing.Alternative compliance may
be approved by the Director as set forth in UDC 11-5B-5 where the applicant has a substitute
noise abatement proposal in accord with ITD standards and prepared by a qualified sound
engineer per UDC 11-3H-4D.4.
Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual):
Two(2)conceptual building elevations were submitted for future homes in this development as
shown in Section VII.G. Single-family detached dwellings are exemptfrom the design standards
in the Architectural Standards Manual.
A Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review application shall be submitted for the
non-residential portions of the development and approved prior to submittal of applications for
building permits. All non-residential structures shall comply with the design standards listed in
the Architectural Standards Manual.
Because homes on lots that abut future SH-16 will be highly visible,the rear and/or side of
structures on lots that face the highway should incorporate articulation through changes in
two or more of the following: modulation(e.g.projections,recesses,step-backs,pop-outs),
bays,banding,porches,balconies,material types,or other integrated architectural elements
Page 13
