V. STAFF ANALYSIS
An annexation, preliminary plat, and development agreement was approved by City Council in
November of 2014 for the Jump Creek Subdivision, which included this property (AZ-14-011, PP-14-
013, DA i nstr. 2014-105206). The approved proj ect al I owed 318 si ngl e fami I y I ots and two
multifamily lots on 85.9acres. Six final pl ats total i ng 308total lots, including seven (7) multi-family
lots have been approved by the Council to date.
In May of 2021, the Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for the first seven
fourplexes(Jump Creek North Fourplex CUP, H-2021-0018). During review of the project, it was
discovered that Jump Creek No 4., the final plat intended for the f ourpl exes, was platted as individual
I ots for each fourplex, whereas the preliminary plat approved one multi-family lot. Further,the
applicant intends to subdi vi de the other multi-family lot approved with the preliminary plat in the
same manner, which exceeds the number of lots approved with the original Jump Creek preliminary
pl at.
Staff di scussed thi s i ssue wi th the appl i cant, and the agreed upon sol uti on was that the appl i cant
would move forward with Phase 6 f or 44 si ngl e f ami I y I ots(approved by City Council on May 18,
2022) and Phase 7 for 12 fourplex lots. The remaining 3.57 acres(the subject property, which was
i n i ti al I y anti ci pated as Jump Creek No. 8)wi I I be pl atted as 20 addi ti onal I ots as a new prel i mi nary
plat. It is important to note that although the total number of lots is morethan was approved
with the initial Jump Creek Subdivision, the total number of units(318 singlefamily and 19
fourplexes) and configuration i s t he sam e as what was approved.
Page 4
A. Future Land Use Map Designation (https://www.meridiancity.org/compplan)
The property is designated " Medium Density Residential" (MDR)on the f uture land use map.
The MDR designation allows smaller lotsfor residential purposeswithin City limits. Uses may
include single-family homes at densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre.
The subject property was initially approved for 318singlefamily lot and 19fourplexeson 85.9
acres,which is a gross density of 4.59 dwelling units per acre. Although the number of lots will
increase by 20, the number of units and density will remain the same. This is consistent with the
M DR I and use desi gnati on.
B. Zoni ng:
The subject property is zoned R-8. The R-8 zoni ng district requi res a mi ni mum lot size of 4,000
sq. ft. and mi ni mum street f rontage of 40 ft. The prel i mi nary pl at shows the smal I est I of bei ng
5,000 sq.ft. and mi ni mum street frontages of 50 ft.
C. Comprehensive Plan Policies(https:Ilwww.meridianeiiy.or /�pplan):
• Encourage di verse housi ng opti ons suitabl e for vari ous i ncome I evel s, househol d si zes, and
lifestyle preferences. (2.01.01)
This project proposes 20 additional single family units in a development of 318 single family
units and 72 fourplex units. This increases the diversity in housing and meets the needs,
preferences, and financial capabilities of Meridian's present and future residents.
• Encourage a variety of housing types that meet the needs, preferences, and financial capabi I i ti es
of Meridian's present and future residents. (2.01.02D)
The applicant is developing a mixed housing residential development consisting ofprimarily
medium density single-family and multi family units, consistent with this goal. The multifamily
developments are being evaluated with future conditional use permit applications.
• Encourage the development of high quality, dense residential and mixed use areas near i n and
around Downtown, near employment, large shopping centers, public open spaces and parks, and
along major transportation corridors, as shown on the Future Land Use Map.
The development provides housing opportunities in close proximity to a proposed Walmart and
an existing shopping center at the northeast corner of Chinden Boulevard and Linder Road.
Future employment uses are planned a mile east of the proposed subdivision along the west side
of N. Ten Mile Road.
• Require urban infrastructure be provided for all new developments, including curb and gutter,
sidewalks,water and sewer utilities. (3.03.03F)
City services were required to be extended to the properties upon development in accord with
UDC 11- 3A- 21. Infrastructure was constructed with phases 1, 2, and 3. No additional
infrastructure is required with this proposal.
Page 5
• Permit new development only where it can be adequately served by critical public faci I ities and
urban services at the time of final approval, and in accord with any adopted I evel s of service for
pu bl i c f aci I i ti es and services. (3.03.03F)
This proposal was referred to fire and police services as well as WASD. There were no additional
comments beyond what were listed with the preliminary plat and final plat.
• Require open space areas within all residential development. (6.01.01A)
The development agreement approved with the annexation required 15%total open space, and
15.3%was provided with the total development. The lot size, area and open space configuration
included with this preliminary plat matches what was approved with the initial approval.
• With new subdivision plats, requi re the design and construction of pathway connections, easy
pedestrian and bicycle access to parks, safe routes to schools, and the incorporation of usable
open spacewith quality amenities." (2.02.01A)
The proposed plat depicts 5 ft. wide detached sidewalks on both sides of roads internal to the
subdivision. Multiple pedestrian connections were approved throughout the initial Jump Creek
development including several connections into the Oaks North project to the east.A 5 ft. wide
detached sidewalk and 25 ft. wide buffer has already been constructed along N. Black Cat Rd. A
landscape buffer and 5 ft. wide detached sidewalk exists to the west of this subject property; the
applicant will be required to complete these improvements as a condition of approval of this
preliminary plat.
D. Existing StructureslSite Improvements:
The property is presently vacant.
E Proposed Use Analysis:
Single-family dwellings are listed asaprincipal permitted usein the R-8zoning districtsin UDC
Table 11-2A-2.
F. Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2):
The preliminary plat and future development is required to comply with the dimensional
standards I i sted in U DC Tabl e 11-2A-6 for the R-8 district.All proposed I ots and public streets
appear to meet UDC dimensional standards per the submitted preliminary plat. This includes
minimum lot size of 4,000 sq.ft., and required street frontages of at least 40 ft. Development of
the subdivision is required to comply with the subdivision design and improvement standards
listed in UDC 11-6C-3.
UDC 11-6C-3- regulates block lengthsfor residential subdivisions. Staff has reviewed the
submitted plat for conformance wi th these regulations. The intent of thi s secti on of code i s to
ensure block I engths do not exceed 750 ft, although there is the allowance of an increase in block
length to 1,000 feet if a pedestrian connection is provided. No block length exceeds 750 ft.
There is one common driveway serving Lots 30 and 31 of Block 20. This driveway connects to
the future fourpl exes i n Jump Creek Fi I i ng 7 and wi I I serve as secondary emergency access.As
this would be a driveway and not a street, staff has added a condition that the common driveway
shall be gated from the multifamily portion of the site(Filing 7). Such gate shall meet all
requirements of Meridian Fire but shall not obstruct pedestrian access.
Page 6
G. Access(UDC 11-3A-3):
All accesses were previously approved with the Jump Creek preliminary plat. ACHD has
responded that they had reviewed and approved the Jump Creek Subdivision in 2014 and the site-
specific conditions of approval for Jump Creek South apply to this project.
H. 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 attached dwellings based on the number of bedrooms per unit. Future
development should comply with these standards.
I. Pathways( UDC 11-3A-8):
There i s an exi sti ng 5' wi de detached si dewal k al ong N. BI ack Cat Rd, at the eastern peri meter of
the subj ect property as wel I as a 5 ft. detached si dewal k al ong W. M cM i I I i an Rd west of the
subject property. The applicant will be required to complete this sidewalk with this project.
Multiple pedestrian connections were approved throughout the initial Jump Creek development
including several connections into the Oaks North project to the east. No additional pathways are
required or proposed with this plat. All of the pedestrian connections must comply with the
standards set forth in UDC 11-3A-8 and UDC 11-3B-12.
Si dewal ks(UDC 11-3A-17):
Five-foot detached sidewalks are proposed along internal streets in accord with the standards
listed in UDC 11-3A-17.
K. Landscaping (UDC11-3B):
UDC 11-2A-6 requires a 25 ft. wide buffers along arterial roads(W. McMillian Rd.). This buffer
is indicated on the landscape plan.All pathways and micro-pathways meet the requi rements of
UDC 11-3B including landscape strips of at least 5 ft. in width on either side and one tree per 100
Iinearfeet. A drainage facility isindicated in Lot 15, Block 20; this lot shall be landscaped as
required per UDC 11-3B-11.
The landscape plan does not indicate whether there are healthy existing trees meeting the
preservation requirementson the property. With thesubmittal of thefinal plat theapplicant
should submit a revised landscape plan that detailsany mitigation plan outlined by the developer
and the City Arborist.
L. Qualified Open Space(UDC 11-3G):
The subject property is 3.57 acres, which would exempt it from the common open space
requirements of UDC 11-3G. However, this property is included in the Jump Creek Development
Agreement which requires 15.73%open space, including numerous drainage lots, 50%of the
arterial street buffers, collector street buffers, micropath lots, and passive open space in various
sizes. The preliminary plat as proposed matches what was approved with the original Jump Creek
Preliminary Rat in regard to lot size, configuration, and open space.
M. QualifiedSiteAmenities(UDC 11-3G):
During the approval process for the enti re Jump Creek Subdivision (which included the subj ect
property), approved amenities included three tot lots, an integrated pathway system, extension of
the Meridian Pathway system and 5%additional open space. Most amenities have already been
constructed with the previous phases and two additional amenitieswere required with the
conditional use permit that was approved for the first multifamily phase. As this current
Page 7
preliminary plat is part of the approved Jump Creek development agreement and is proposed with
the same design and number of lots as what was approved, additional amenities are required.
N. Waterways(UDC 11-3A-6):
The West Tap Sublateral clips the northeastern corner of Lot 31, Block 20. Per UDC, all
irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways and waterways being used as
amenities, which intersect, cross or lie within the area being subdivided should be covered.
O. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
The I andscape pl an i ncl udes a fenci ng pl an. The pl an i ncl udes 6 ft. hi gh vi nyl f enci ng al ong the
western peri phery of the si te, al ong the si de of resi denti al I ots adj acent to i nternal roads, and rear

pathways and mi cro-pathways. The fenci ng appears to meet the requi rements of 11-3A-6 and 11-
3A-7.
P. Utilities(UDC 11-3A-21):
Public services are available to accommodate the proposed development and most utilities have
already been installed.
Q. Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 l Architectural Standards Manual):
Building elevations were submitted and approved with the initial annexation and development
agreement. The Appl icant submitted the same approved elevations. Per the approved Jump Creek
Development Agreement, all homes adjacent to McMillan Road shall incorporate a mix of
