L PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Annexation and Zoning of approximately 8.23 acres of land with a request for the TN-R(Traditional
Neighborhood Residential)zoning district and a Preliminary Plat consisting of 51 building lots(30 single
family attached lots and 21 detached single-family lots), 6 common lots,and 2 other lots(common
driveways)on 5.63 acres in the proposed TN-R zoning district.
NOTE: After ongoing discussions between Staff and the Applicant regarding the qualified open space
location,the Applicant has revised the project and lose one(1)building lot in order to gain the required
qualified open space within the project area. Furthermore,this change has resulted in the Applicant making a
slight modification to the distribution of housing tunes—according to the revised plans,the Applicant is now
proposing 18 detached lots and 32 attached lots totaling 50 building lots instead of 50. The loss of one(1)
building lot and shuffling of the housing types results in the addition of approximately 4,350 square feet of
qualified open space. The revised qualified open space complies with the minimum 15%required in the TN-
R zoning district.

V. STAFF ANALYSIS
A. ANNEXATION/COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The MHDR designation allows for a mix of dwelling types including townhouses,condominiums, and
apartments. Residential gross densities should range from 8 to 15 dwelling units per acre and is noted
with a"target"density of 12 du/ac. These areas are relatively compact within the context of larger
neighborhoods and are typically located around or near mixed use commercial or employment areas to
provide convenient access to services and jobs for residents. Developments need to incorporate high
quality architectural design and materials and thoughtful site design to ensure quality of place and should
also incorporate connectivity with adjacent uses and area pathways, attractive landscaping and a project
identity. Per the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan(TMISAP),MHDR designated areas should
include a mix of housing types such as row houses,townhouses, condominiums, alley-loaded homes,
and apartments with higher densities near MU-C and Employment designated areas transitioning to
smaller-scale and lower density buildings as the distance increases from higher intensity uses.
The Applicant is requesting Annexation and Zoning of three parcels totaling 8.23 acres of land with a
request for the Traditional Neighborhood Residential(TN-R)district and a Preliminary Plat to construct
a mix of single-family dwelling types, single-family detached&attached units. The Applicant is
proposing to annex the federally owned land west of the subject site that contains a segment of the
Purdam Gulch Drain that is not part of the project area. The Applicant is proposing 51 total residential
units on two parcels totaling 5.63 acres in the requested TN-R zoning district which constitutes a gross
density of 9.1 du/ac;this density complies with the minimum density required within the future land use
designation and is at the lower end of the allowed range. Further,the two proposed uses and site design
are not currently seen within this area of the City or Ten Mile Plan but are two aspects desired by the
Ten Mile Plan.
In addition to the subject project, surrounding development should be taken into account, to the
northwest of the site,Hensley Station is currently under construction as a medium-high density
townhouse subdivision and Aviation Subdivision was recently approved by Council which will bring
Aviator Street extension even closer to the subject site; to the east of the subject site additional high-
density residential projects are currently underway,Ascent Townhomes and Entrata Farms. In addition,
south of Franklin Road is a larger area of the Ten Mile Plan with a mix of residential, commercial,
employment, and industrial zoning. This site is part of a large area of MHDR that is slowly redeveloping
from both the west and east of this site. Despite the subject site not being directly adjacent to existing or
approved development,the subject site design and proposed uses are ones that are desired within this
area of the City. Specifically,the Applicant's proposal of two different housing types, detached
sidewalks, and garages set back behind the living area are desired within this area of Meridian and
propose a project design consistent with many comprehensive plan policies.
Page 5
Staff finds the project to be generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Specific general
comprehensive plan policies are analyzed below.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this application and apply to
the proposed use and development of this property(staff analysis in italics):
• "Encourage a variety of housing types that meet the needs, preferences, and financial capabilities of
Meridian's present and future residents."(2.01.02D)
The proposed development contains two types of housing units (attached and detached single-family)
that will contribute to the variety of residential categories in the Ten Mile area and within the
requested TN-R zoning district as desired.
• "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 and can be extended by the developer in accord with UDC
11-3A-21.
• "Avoid the concentration of any one housing type or lot size in any geographical area;provide for
diverse housing types throughout the City."(2.01.01 G)
Two (2) housing types are proposed in this development, as noted above, which contributes to the
variety of housing types in this area. Furthermore, the Applicant is proposing the entire project with
detached sidewalks and parkways and each unit is shown with the garages set behind the living
area, as desired within the Ten Mile Plan.
• "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land."
(3.07.00)
The proposed site design provides a maximum use of the land with the proposed residential dwelling
types and should be compatible with planned development on adjacent properties that are also
designated for MHDR uses. The project does abut three (3) existing I-acre County residential
properties to the east and until such time as these properties redevelop, there could be conflict
between the two land uses as multiple structures are shown adjacent to these existing homes.
However, the Applicant has held two neighborhood meetings on the property and only one of the
current owners have attended while voicing minimal concerns.
• "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)
The proposed plat depicts relatively smaller areas of open space spread throughout the site.
Notably, the main open space area is in the center of the development and is approximately 6,000
square feet with a bicycle repair station noted as the amenity. There are other, smaller open space
lots at the north end of the site that are shown to contain storm drainage facilities but still provide
open grassy areas (these are not proposed as open swale drainage ponds). Further, the Applicant is
proposing detached sidewalks throughout the entire site that connect to the existing sidewalk along
Franklin Road, an arterial. This should provide safe and easy access to this arterial sidewalk
network and to the nearby charter school to the west.
An open space exhibit was not submitted with the applications but it appears the Applicant has
proposed approximately 32,500 square feet of qualified open space; this area does not meet the
minimum 1 S%requirement which amounts to at least 36,700 square feet. However, if the Applicant
is able to obtain irrigation district approval and provide a pathway along the west boundary and
Page 6
other internal pathway connections to it, this area of the plat would become qualified open space
and the Applicant would exceed the minimum area required by approximately 10,000 square feet.
Further analysis is below in subsequent sections.
• "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 proposed to
be provided to and though this development in accord with current City plans.
• "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 is required to be provided with
development as proposed.
In addition to the general Comprehensive Plan,the following sections of the Ten Mile Interchange
Specific Area Plan(TMISAP)should also be used to analyze the project(Staff analysis is in
italics):
Connectivity(3-17): Connectivity to adjacent parcels is proposed by extending a stub street to the north
boundary which would connect to the planned W.Aviator Street extension and to the east boundary
through the 1-acre parcel that is part of this project. This connection to the east boundary aligns with a
stub street further to the east within the Ascent Townhome project—Staff anticipates the approximate 50
feet of the Zimmerman parcel that separates the two will be utilized as a public road once a future cross-
access agreement is made with that property owner. NOTE:the Zimmerman parcel has been sold to a
developer and this area of their plan has been discussed with that Applicant,they agree a portion of
this area of their existing access should be utilized to allow the public road connection between the
subject project and the Ascent Townhome project currently under construction for the purpose of
additional connectivity in this area.Although staff cannot require the connectivity now, with the
annexation of the Zimmerman property staff will require the ROW dedication to allow the two
roadways connect.If the applicant can facilitate the connection sooner and reach a written agreement
to allow the connection,staff would be supportive as this would eliminate the need for the temporary
access to Franklin Road in favor of an emergency access as desired by the City. Furthermore, the
proposed detached sidewalks throughout the site provide the needed connectivity between existing and
planned sites and sets the stage for neighborhood designs desired within the Ten Mile area.
Access Control(3-17): In order to move traffic efficiently through the Ten Mile area, direct access via
arterial streets is prohibited except for collector street connections. The subject site proposes a temporary
access to W. Franklin Road, an arterial, as no other public road access is available at this time. The
proposed stub street to the north boundary will connect to the W.Aviator Street extension, a collector
street, should the Zimmerman parcel redevelop as anticipated. Because the proposed access to Franklin
is only temporary, the project complies with this policy.As noted above, if the applicant can facilitate
the connection of the eastern stub street with the Ascent Subdivision, the temporary access to Franklin
wouldn't be required.
Complete Streets(3-19): The TMISAP incorporates the concept of"complete streets,"meaning all
streets should be designed to serve all users, including bicycles and pedestrians unless prohibited by law
or where the costs are excessive or where there's clearly no need. The proposed development includes
detached sidewalks and parkways throughout the entire site for pedestrian use and on-street parking
along the new local street. Further, the proposed home designs depict garages set behind the living area
and shared driveways that minimize curb cuts within the site (35 driveways for 51 units). This design
sets the stage for future development of the surrounding area as this is a desired site design in the Ten
Mile Plan.
Page 7
Streetscape(3-25): All streets should include street trees within the right-of-way. The proposed
development incorporates tree-lined streets with detached sidewalks throughout the site.
DESIGN:
Street-Oriented Design—Residential Buildings(3-33): Usable porches should be a dominant element
of these building types. Porches should be located along at least 30%of the front fagade of the buildings
(the facade facing the primary street) although a higher percentage is recommended as is porches on one
or more facades as well. When possible, garages should be loaded from a rear alleyway. Where garages
must be accessed from the front,the garages must be located no less than 20' behind the primary
fagade of the residential structure.
The proposed residential units are all front-loaded but show a garage that is set back from the living
area fagade facing the internal local street. The submitted elevations and conceptual floor plans are not
dimensioned but the garages appear to be considerably behind the living area facades. This design
provides for a more porch dominated street facade compared to traditional single-family residential, as
desired. Staff is including a DA provision to ensure this type of design is maintained for the project.
Buildings to Scale(3-34): The key elements to consider are the continuity of building sizes,how the
street-level and upper-level architectural detailing is treated, elements that anchor and emphasize
pedestrian scale,roof forms,rhythm of windows and doors,and general relationship of buildings to
public spaces such as streets,plazas, other open space and public parking. Human-scale design is critical
to the success of built places for pedestrians. Staff believes the proposed 2-story homes and submitted
conceptual building elevations demonstrate compliance with this policy. However, to further the
neighborhood and street-oriented designs desired in the Ten Mile Area, Staff is recommending
additional decks are added on the second stories of some of the homes. This addition furthers the
concept of living area closer to the street which helps to activate the sidewalks and create more of a
community identity for the project.
Neighborhood Design(3-36): In the Ten Mile area, all residential neighborhoods should be developed
in consideration of traditional neighborhood design principles and concepts,which include mixed
housing stock, architecture and design, streetscapes and streets.A mix of housing stock is proposed
consisting of single family attached and detached dwellings which contribute to the diversity of housing
stock in this area. The public street proposed within this development provides a fair framework for
future connectivity that can provide short block lengths and minimize curb cuts on the public streets. The
proposed block lengths are relatively short and provide for safe pedestrian connectivity due to the
detached sidewalks and parkways. The proposed parkways and conceptual floor plans also add to the
project's consistency with the neighborhood design element of the Ten Mile Plan.
As noted above, Staff finds the project to be generally consistent with both the Ten Mile
Interchange Specific Area Plan and the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan,per Staffs
recommended revisions.
The City may require a development agreement(DA)in conjunction with an annexation pursuant
to Idaho Code section 67-6511A.In order to ensure the site develops as proposed with this application,
Staff recommends a DA as a provision of annexation with the provisions included in Section VIII.A1. The
DA is required to be signed by the property owner(s)/developer and returned to the City within 6 months
of the Council granting the annexation for approval by City Council and subsequent recordation. A final
plat will not be accepted until the DA is executed and the AZ ordinance is approved by City Council.
B. PRELIMINARY PLAT(PP)
The proposed preliminary plat consists of 51 building lots(30 single-family attached lots and 21
detached single-family lots), 6 common lots,and 2 other lots(two common driveways) on 5.63 acres of
land in the requested TN-R zoning district. The minimum building lot size proposed is 2,038 square feet
Page 8
with an average lot size of 2,762 square feet. According to the submitted plans,the plat is currently
proposed to develop in two phases due to the available access to the site being only from Franklin Road
at this time. The phasing plan depicts construction of 22 building lots in the southern half of the site with
three open space lots(including the largest centralized open space lot) in Phase 1 with the public roads
terminating less than 150 feet from the internal intersection—thus,20 of the 21 detached single-family
lots and two single-family attached lots are proposed in Phase 1. Phase 2 then depicts the remaining
building lots to the north and east of the centralized intersection to be constructed along with some
remaining open space lots along the north boundary.
Further, Phase 2 depicts the north-south local road within the site terminating at the north boundary over
the Purdam Gulch stub drain with a slight curve to the northeast to match the property line. Staff has had
multiple discussions with this Applicant and the Developer of the Zimmerman property to the north in
regards to the proposed termination of the north-south local street within this development. The issue
that has been brought up is the preferred alignment of this street at the north property line and
consequently where it would connect to the extension of W.Aviator Street,the collector road required to
be developed with the project to the north. Staff notes it has been the City's practice to require an
Applicant change their road alignment based upon conceptual drawings of a project that has not yet
submitted to the City. However, Staff has included a DA provision to allow this Applicant the
flexibility to revise the road alignment and lot layout with the future Phase 2 final plat should they
be able to work out a mutually beneficial agreement with the adjacent property owner; this is
predicated on IF the property to the north receives approvals from the City.This recommended
provision does not require this Applicant revise their plat at any point but its intent is to provide
flexibility to the Applicant to make any necessary revisions to the plat without having to go
through the hearing process for subsequent changes that do not increase the number of building
lots or drastically change the project design but help the overall road network in this area of the
City.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
Map imagery depicts an old residence and accessory buildings on the southern half of the subject site; no
other site improvements appear to be in place. All existing structures are proposed to be removed upon
Phase 1 development.
Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
The proposed subdivision and subsequent development are required to comply with the minimum
dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2D-6 for the requested TN-R zoning district. Staff has
reviewed the proposed plat and it complies with these standards, including dwelling types, inclusion of
parkways, and initial review of building setbacks outlined on the submitted preliminary plat.
Access(UDC 11-3A-3):
ACHD has not yet submitted a staff report for-the subjeet pr-oj
Access for the project has been briefly discussed in the comprehensive plan analysis section above those
comments are in conjunction with those in this analysis section.Ultimate access to the project site is
from a future local street connection at the north property boundary to a future extension of W. Aviator
Street on the adjacent property to the north/northeast. Additionally, future access should occur to the east
via a local street connection to W. Atomic Street in the Ascent Townhome project on the east side of
Zimmerman Lane (not part of this project area). Until Aviator Street is extended and constructed north of
the subject site OR W.Atomic Street is extended,temporary access to W. Franklin Road is required for
public street access to the site. Because no other public roads are available to serve the subject site,
development code permits this temporary access to Franklin. However,permanent access to Franklin
Road is not desired by the City or ACHD in this location so as soon as an additional public road access is
available,this access to Franklin shall be closed OR converted to an emergency-only access with Fire
Page 9
Department approved bollards. Staff has included a DA provision to address the timing for the closure of
this access.
Vehicular access for the proposed dwelling units is via driveway connections to the new local streets
within the project.The local street is proposed with 5-foot detached sidewalk and 8-foot parkways strips;
the street is proposed as a 33-foot wide local street within 37 feet of right-of-way and is consistent with
ACHD policy. The Applicant has proposed shared driveways for the single-family attached units to
minimize the number of curb cuts on the local street and has included two common drives within the east
parcel to better maximize the available land and provide access to six units(four access one common
drive, and two access the other).
There is no secondary access to the site because the proposed local streets within the site do not connect
to additional public roads. This is an additionalfactor in the Applicant's decision to propose the project
in two phases and keeps the Applicant from putting sprinklers in each unit because the Fire Department
requires a secondary access for each access that has more than 30 units taking access from it. As
discussed above, there is an anticipation of a project being constructed on the property to the
north/northeast that would extend Aviator along the north property line and offer a secondary public
street connection to satisfy the Fire Department requirement. However, regardless an additional public
road access being to the north to Aviator Street or the east through Ascent Townhomes, Staff is
recommending the temporary access to Franklin convert to an emergency-only access to add an
additional Fire approved access for this project and area of the City.
Pathways(UDC 11-3A-8):
There are no regional pathways depicted on the Pathways Master Plan for this property. However, Staff
believes the Applicant should work with the irrigation district to install a micro-path through the
common lot along the project's west boundary containing the Purdam Drain easement OR work with the
district to utilize their gravel access road as a walking path for the development and include some
landscaping along the east side of this common lot. The addition of a meandering 5-foot wide pathway
and landscaping in this open space lot could connect in multiple places throughout the site and allow for
a looped walking trail. Further,this revision to the project would make this area of the site qualified open
space and allow the Applicant to meet and exceed the minimum amount required for the project; without
it, additional area will need to be added in other places which will likely require a loss of building lots.
Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17):
Detached sidewalks are proposed along the internal local streets that loop through the site (not shown
with any names at this time)with 8-foot parkways throughout. In addition,the Applicant is showing the
existing 5-foot wide sidewalk on the north side of Franklin Road with a segment near the west boundary
as being attached and the remaining length being detached from the roadway. This does not meet ACHD
nor UDC standards for sidewalks along collector streets. Overall, the proposed sidewalk network for this
development meets UDC requirements.
Parkways (UDC 11-3A-17):
8-feet 6-foot wide parkways with street trees are shown along both sides of the proposed local streets in
the project site. All parkways within the site adjacent to detached sidewalks shall be landscaped per
the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C and UDC 11-3A-17.E.2 for a 6-foot wide parkway—these
additional standards include the requirement for a root barrier system and Staff will verify this
with all future final plats.With the future final plat applications,the Applicant should add data to the
plan to demonstrate compliance with these standards.
Landscaping(UDC 11-3B):
A 25-foot wide street buffer is required along W. Franklin Road,landscaped per the standards in UDC
Table 11-3B-7C.A 25-foot wide common lot is shown at the south boundary of the project site meeting
UDC standards. However,the subject property boundary does not directly abut Franklin Road because
ACHD owns land that goes beyond the pavement and includes the sidewalk along this frontage.
Page 10
Therefore,the actual buffer along Franklin is at least 38 feet deep instead of just 25 feet. According to
the submitted landscape plan,the required buffer area is landscaped in accordance with code. Therefore,
the proposed project complies with these standards.
The Applicant is also proposing 86-foot wide parkways throughout the site in accordance with the
requirements of the Ten Mile Plan and the requested TN-R zoning district. According to the submitted
plans,the Applicant is showing compliance with the required landscaping standards in UDC 11-3B-7.
According to the submitted landscape plan, some trees are included in the common open space areas
where there is no storm drain retention areas. These retention areas are shown to be vegetated with
grasses which complies with UDC 11-3A-11 and is allowed to qualify towards the minimum qualified
open space for the project. Staff is recommending the most central tree in the centralized open space lot
(Lot 12,Block 1) on the west side of the project be removed so a larger area of usable grass can be
proposed in this lot. Further analysis on landscaping and open space qualification is in the next section
below.
Qualified Open Space& Site Amenities(UDC 11-3G):
The area of the preliminary plat is 5.63 acres within the requested TN-R zoning district. According to the
standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3, a minimum of 15%qualified open space should be provided for
projects over 5 acres within the TN-R district. As noted above,the Applicant did not submit a separate
open space exhibit so Staff had to dissect the submitted plans and the applicable areas that qualify.
Based on the plat area of 5.63 acres, the minimum amount of qualified open space required to meet
UDC 11-3G-3 standards is approximately 36,786 square feet.According to Staffs analysis of the
submitted plans, the Applicant is proposing approximately 32,500 square feet of qualified open space,
this area does not meet the minimum 15% requirement. This includes the proposed parkways, arterial
street buffer to Franklin, the central open space lot(portion of Lot 12,Block 1), and other smaller
areas of open space throughout the site.As discussed throughout this report, there is potential of the
entire Lot 12,Block I counting towards the qualified open space if additional pedestrian facilities are
added to this lot. Specifically,Staff recommends adding a 5-foot wide micro path from the detached
sidewalk along the local street in two locations; within the central open space lot and in the open
space area in the northwest corner of the site. Further, additional pedestrian facilities would need to
be added to this lot within the drain easement area to create a looped system for the project. These
cumulative revisions are required in order for this easement area of Lot 12 to count towards the
qualified open space. If these revisions cannot occur,the Applicant will need to add approximately
4,300 square feet of additional qualified open space in the project—because of the site design, this
would likely require the loss of building lots.
Based on the size of the plat, one(1)point of site amenity is required to meet UDC 11-3G-4 standards.
According to the submitted landscape plan,the Applicant is proposing a bicycle repair station within the
central open space lot(Lot 12,Block 1). This amenity is noted as being worth one(1)amenity point per
UDC Table 11-3G-4. The proposed amenity meets the minimum UDC requirements.
Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, I1-3A-7):
All fencing constructed on the site is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-6 and
11-3A-7. According to the submitted landscape plan,the Applicant is showing 6-foot tall vinyl fencing
along the project boundary on the east portions of the site and a 5-foot tall wrought iron fence on the rear
property lines of the lots abutting the Purdam Drain easement along the west boundary. Both of these
fence types and their locations comply with UDC standards.No fencing appears to be proposed along
the Franklin Road street buffer; should fencing be proposed at a later date, it cannot exceed 6 feet in
height per UDC 11-3A-7.
Parking: On-site parking for each unit is required per the standards listed in UDC Table 11-3C-6 based
on the number of bedrooms per single-family residence. For the detached single-family homes,two car

garages with two(2)parking pads per unit are shown on the submitted conceptual elevations and floor
plans in accord with UDC standards for up to 4-bedroom homes. The single-family attached homes are
depicted with a single-car garage parking pad for each unit. Therefore,it appears as a two-car garage and
parking pad from the street view. Because of this proposed design,the future attached units cannot
contain more than 2 bedrooms to comply with UDC minimum parking standards. Staff finds this as
a positive for the project because there is a shortage of smaller homes for sale within the valley and
Meridian. In addition to the off-street parking shown, a number of on-street parking spaces are also
available due to the proposed site design.
Waterways: The Purdam Gulch Drain,an NMID facility,runs along the west boundary of the subject
property but is not on the subject site. However,this project does contain a large portion of the east half
of the required irrigation easement(50 feet to each side of the drain centerline) for this drain. Therefore,
all of the proposed lots along the west boundary of the project are encumbered by approximately 9 feet
of this easement. Per UDC 11-3A-6,no more than 10 feet of the irrigation easement shall be located on a
buildable lot so the plat complies with this standard as proposed. Any encroachment within this
easement will require an exclusive License Agreement with NMID and the future HOA will be
responsible for maintenance of this lot. The common lot appears to show the required NMID access
road which will be fully gravel with no vegetation,as discussed above.
In addition to the Purdam Gulch Drain easement,the Purdam Gulch stub drain runs along the north
property line of the site and is located within the project boundary. The Applicant is proposing to pipe
this stub drain in its current location for better maintenance and to stub the local street within the site to
the north property line for future connectivity to W. Aviator Street. The proposal to pipe this segment of
the stub drain and place it within common lots complies with the UDC.
Utilities(UDC 11-3A-21):
Connection to City water and sewer services is proposed in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. Street lighting
is required to be installed in accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. See
Section VULB below for Public Works comments/conditions.
Pressurized Irrigation System (UDC 11-3A-I5):
An underground pressurized irrigation(PI) system is required to be provided for the development as set
forth as set forth in UDC 11-3A-15. Per the submitted plans, a PI system is proposed and will be
analyzed by the applicable departments with each Final Plat.
Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual) (TMISAP
Conceptual building elevations and first-floor floor plans were submitted for the proposed detached and
attached single-family units, as shown in Section VII.F. The conceptual elevations do not list specific
materials but appear to show a combination of lap siding and stucco field materials with porches and
brick or stone accent materials along the front of the homes. In addition to the elevations,the submitted
conceptual first-floor floor plans depict living area and garage on the first floor with the garages set back
from the living area fagade closest to the street. The submitted document is not dimensioned but Staff
infers that the garage doors should be at least 30 feet from the edge of the street with parkways, detached
sidewalks, and parking pad between.
Final design is required to comply with the design standards listed in the Architectural Standards Manual
and the design guidelines in the TMISAP as stated herein. Submittal and approval of an Administrative
Design Review application is required prior to submittal of building permit application(s) for the single-
family attached units. Should it be determined the detached units should also require design review,
Staff recommends Council add a specific DA provision addressing the project as a whole.
