NOTICING Planning&Zoning City Council Posting Date Posting Date Newspaper Notification 7/19/2022 Radius notification mailed to properties within 300 feet 7/14/2022 Public hearing notice sign posted 7/22/2022 on site Nextdoor posting 7/15/2022 Page 5 V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN(HTTPS://WWW.MERIDIANCITY.ORGICOMPPLAN): Land Use: This property is designated Mixed Use—Regional(MU-R) on the Future Land Use Map(FLUM). The purpose of the MU-R designation is to provide a mix of employment,retail,and residential dwellings and public uses near major arterial intersections. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses together, including residential, and to avoid predominantly single use developments such as a regional retail center with only restaurants and other commercial uses. Developments should be anchored by uses that have a regional draw with the appropriate supporting uses. The developments are encouraged to be designed consistent with the conceptual MU-R plan depicted in Figure 3D(pg. 3-17). The conceptually approved WinCo grocery store on this site would have provided a regional draw to this area as desired,whereas residential uses do not but they do provide housing for workers in the MU-R designated area and the general vicinity. A multi-family development consisting of 360 units was recently approved to develop on the adjacent property to the east(H-2021-0007 Seasons at Meridian). This in part was justified by the plans to develop a grocery store on this site,which now is proposed to be replaced by more apartments. This development proposes to add another 351 units for a total of 711 apartment units in this immediate area; commercial/retail uses are still anticipated to develop on the southern 7.1 acres of the site.Although the residential uses aren't integrated with the adjacent commercial uses as desired in MU-R designated areas,pathways are proposed for pedestrian connectivity between these uses. While some neighborhood and community services are within walking and biking distance,most of the job base, and especially family-wage jobs,will require driving to employment areas. The City generally considers mixed use areas separated by regional corridors as independent areas. It is difficult to justify them as mixed use when they are less walkable and not integrated. Further, connectivity south across Overland and east across Eagle,programmed to be 7 or more lanes, and increasing pedestrian and bicycle activity across such wide facilities will not be appealing,and may exacerbate signal timings challenges. Note:Because this property was annexed and entitled with C-G zoning in 1994 without the requirement of a Development Agreement, Staff is not recommending a mix and integration of uses on this site as-is typically desired in the MU-R designation. Transportation: There are no collector streets planned across this site per the Master Street Map (MSM). This site will be accessed from the south by S. Wells Ave. from E. Overland Rd., a mobility corridor, and from the west by E. Cinema Dr., a local street. This site is approximately a half mile west of the Overland/Eagle Rd. intersection, a major arterial intersection, on the south side of the I-84 off-ramp. Transit services are available to serve this site via Route 42. With the preliminary plat(H-2021-0007—WinCo Wells),ACHD required additional right-of-way to be dedicated for the widening of Overland Rd. to provide a dedicated westbound right-turn lane at Wells Ave. when Wells is constructed to intersect Overland Rd. The Wells/Overland intersection is required to be signalized prior to issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for the multi-family development on the adjacent property to the east(H-2021-0007 DA Inst. 2021-119174). If this property develops first, the Applicant should work with the adjacent property to the east to coordinate the off-site construction of a westbound right-turn lane on Overland Rd. at the Wells Ave.intersection and signalize the intersection consistent with the ACHD report. Overland Rd. is listed in the Capital Improvement Plan(CIP)to be widened to 7-lanes from Locust Grove to Eagle Road between 2036 and 2040. The intersection of Eagle and Overland Roads is listed in the CIP to be widened to 7-lanes on the north leg, 8-lanes on the south, 8-lanes on the east and 8-lanes on the west leg and signalized between 2031 and 2035. The proposed multi-family development is estimated to generate 1,607 additional trips/day with 138 additional vehicle trips/hour in the PM peak hour. The grocery store was estimated to generate an Page 6 additional 7,723 trips/day with 555 additional trips/hour in the PM peak hour and 820 additional trips/hour in the Saturday peak hour. The ACHD report states the PM peak hour traffic count for Overland Rd. is estimated at 1,540,which is a PM peak hour level of service of better than"B"; acceptable level of service for a five-lane principal arterial is"E". Although overall,the level of service may be"acceptable", certain roadway segments and/or intersections turning movements are currently failing and will be worse with the adjacent multi- family development to the east and the proposed development. One of the most congested AM peak hour travel movements—eastbound Overland traffic turning north on Eagle—is also operating at an `E' service currently. This travel movement exceeds the desired V/C ratio of 0.8, currently at 0.9,and increase to 1.16 with(or without)this project constructed. One of the mitigation strategies is simply to increase the green signal time of this movement. Other travel directions also suffer from significant congestion,including the northbound Eagle travel lane, a conflicting direction,which in the AM may back up through both Goldstone and Copper Point. With the development to the east,ACHD recommended mitigation measures to lessen the impacts from the development including revisions to the phasing plan to coincide with the District's planning Capital Projects and reducing the scope and/or scale of the project.See ACHD report in Section IX.Hfor more information. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES(hyps://www.meridiancity.or/p lan): Goals,Objectives, &Action Items: Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this application and apply to the proposed use 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 multi family apartments will contribute to the variety of housing types in the City and specifically in the southern portion of the City. • "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 services are available and can be extended by the developer with development in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. • "Locate higher density housing near corridors with existing or planned transit,Downtown, and in proximity to employment centers." (2.01.01H) The proposed multi family development is located along I-84 and E. Overland Rd., a mobility arterial, which is a major east/west corridor proposed to be widened to 7-lanes; and in close proximity to neighboring employment centers in the Bonito, Rackham and Silverstone subdivisions at Eagle/Overland. Transit services are available to serve this area. • "Require all new 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 apartment buildings will be set back over 100'from the northern property line adjacent to the I-84 off-ramp. A 35'wide landscaped street buffer is proposed along the northern boundary; a 22 foot wide buffer is proposed along the western boundary; and a I 0-foot wide buffer is proposed along the southern boundary adjacent to Cinema Dr. The tallest buildings at 4-stories in height are proposed on the northern portion of the site with 3-story buildings on the southern portion. • "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) Page 7 The proposed multi family apartments will contribute to the mix of housing types available in the City. There is currently a mix of housing types within a mile of this site consisting of single-family, townhomes and multi family apartments. • "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land." (3.07.00) The proposed multi family apartments should be compatible with future like uses to the east and existing retail, restaurant, service, entertainment and employment uses in the nearby vicinity, which should minimize conflicts and maximize use of land. • "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. • "Maximize public services by prioritizing infill development of vacant and underdeveloped parcels within the City over parcels on the fringe."(2.02.02) The area surrounding this vacant site is part of the City and is almost entirely developed with the exception of the property to the east which is approved for a multi family development(H-2020- 0118;H-2021-0007). Development of this infill property will result in more efficient provision of public services. • "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. • "Encourage and support mixed-use areas that provide the benefits of being able to live, shop,dine, play, and work in close proximity,thereby reducing vehicle trips, and enhancing overall livability and sustainability."(3.06.02B) The proposed multi family development and future retail development is in close proximity to employment, restaurant, entertainment, office and service uses. This mix of uses will enable residents to shop, dine,play and work in close proximity to their residence, thus reducing vehicle trips and enhancing overall livability and sustainability. • "Slow the outward progression of the City's limits by discouraging fringe area development; encourage development of vacant or underutilized parcels currently within City limits." (4.05.03B) Development of the subject vacant land, currently in the City limits, is encouraged over parcels on the fringe of the City. The development of this property will result in better provision of City services. VI. STAFF ANALYSIS A. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT MODIFICATION(MDA) A modification to the existing Development Agreement(DA)(H-2016-0056 Volante Investments—Inst. #2016-0060157)is proposed to change the use and update the conceptual development plan and building elevations for the northern portion of the site. The DA originally included the abutting property to the east at 2700 E. Overland Rd.but was amended in 2021 to exclude that property from the agreement and deleted provision#5.1.3 which pertained to development of that property(H-2020-0118, Inst. #2021- 119176). Page 8 The existing conceptual development plan depicts an 85,000 square foot WinCo Foods grocery store on the northern portion of the site and vacant land on the southern portion of the site planned for retail uses. The proposed plan is for a 351-unit apartment complex(i.e. multi-family development); seven(7)retail building pads are depicted on the southern portion of the site. This is the same developer of the multi- family development to the east that was recently approved for 360 units—this project will be phase II. WinCo has decided not to open a new store in this location and instead is planning to remodel its existing store in Meridian on S. Progress Ave. They feel this is not a favorable location for another store and that it's not in their best interest to sell this land to another commercial or retail user. As discussed above in Section V, Staff believes the proposed plan provides housing for nearby employment uses and contributes to the mix of uses desired in the MU-R designation. The adjacent commercial development to the west provides retail,restaurant and entertainment uses which will be utilized by the residents and are within easy walking distance. Staff is generally supportive of the proposed modification;however,has concerns about the negative impact any development of this property will have on the existing transportation network in this area. B. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT(CUP) Conditional use permit for a multi-family development consisting of 351 residential units [(7) studio units, (202) 1-bedroom&(142)2-bedroom units] on 11.65 acres of land in the C-G zoning district at a gross density of 30.13 units per acre. The two (2)northern buildings (Building 3)will be 4-stories in height,the two (2) southern buildings (Buildings 1 and 2)will be 3-stories in height and the clubhouse will be 2-stories in height.Dwelling units will range in size from 569 to 1,159 square feet. This development is proposed to be constructed in one phase. Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3): The proposed use is subject to the following standards: (Staff's analysis/comments in italic text) 11-4-3-27: MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT: `B. Site Design: 1. Buildings shall provide a minimum setback of ten feet(10')unless a greater setback is otherwise required by this title and/or title 10 of this Code. Building setbacks shall take into account windows, entrances,porches and patios,and how they impact adjacent properties. The proposed structures appear to comply with this standard except for the garages along the eastern property boundary; the site plan should be revised to reflect a minimum 10 foot wide building setback around the perimeter of the development. 2. All on-site service areas, outdoor storage areas,waste storage, disposal facilities, and transformer and utility vaults shall be located in an area not visible from a public street, or shall be fully screened from view from a public street. The site plan depicts screened trash enclosures not visible from a public street; all proposed transformer/utility vaults and other service areas shall comply with this requirement. 3. A minimum of eighty(80)square feet of private,usable open space shall be provided for each unit. This requirement can be satisfied through porches,patios, decks, and/or enclosed yards. Landscaping, entryway and other access ways shall not count toward this requirement. In circumstances where strict adherence to such standard would create inconsistency with the purpose statements of this section,the Director may consider an alternative design proposal through the alternative compliance provisions as set forth in section 11-513-5 of this title. The Applicant's narrative states a minimum of 80 square feet ofprivate usable open space will be provided for each unit in the form of balconies and patios. Floor plans should be submitted Page 9 with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application that demonstrate compliance with this standard. 4. For the purposes of this section,vehicular circulation areas,parking areas, and private usable open space shall not be considered common open space. These areas were not included in the common open space calculations for the site. 5. No recreational vehicles, snowmobiles,boats or other personal recreation vehicles shall be stored on the site unless provided for in a separate, designated and screened area. The Applicant shall comply with this requirement. 6. The parking shall meet the requirements set forth in chapter 3, "Regulations Applying to All Districts", of this title. The proposed parking meets and exceeds UDC standards per the analysis below. Based on(7) studio units; (202) 1-bedroom units; (142)2-bedroom units and a 9,950 square foot clubhouse,a minimum of 629 off-street parking spaces are required, including guest parking, with 344 of those in a covered carport or garage.Accessible parking is required in accord with ADA standards. A total of 653 spaces are proposed,which exceeds the minimum standards by 24 spaces. Based on 653 vehicle parking spaces, a minimum of 27 bicycle parking spaces shall be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-5C.A total of 27 bicycle spaces are proposed in accord with this standard. 7. Developments with twenty(20)units or more shall provide the following: a. A property management office. b. A maintenance storage area. c. A central mailbox location, including provisions for parcel mail,that provide safe pedestrian and/or vehicular access. d. A directory and map of the development at an entrance or convenient location for those entering the development. (Ord. 18-1773,4-24-2018) The Applicant's narrative states these items will be provided, the site plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application should depict the location of these items in accord with this standard. C. Common Open Space Design Requirements(UDC 11-4-3-27C): The total baseline land area of all qualified common open space shall equal or exceed ten(10)percent of the gross land area for multi-family developments of five(5)acres or more. Based on 11.65 acres of land, a minimum of 1.17 acres of common open space is required to be provided. In addition to the baseline open space requirement, a minimum area of outdoor common open space shall be provided as follows: a. One hundred fifty(150) square feet for each unit containing five hundred(500) or less square feet of living area.None of the units are below 500 square feet(sf.) of living area. b. Two hundred fifty(250) square feet for each unit containing more than five hundred(500) square feet and up to one thousand two hundred(1,200) square feet of living area.All 351 units are between 500 and 1,200 sf.; therefore, a total of 87,750 sf. (or 2.01 acres) of common open space is required. Page 10 c. Three hundred fifty(350) square feet for each unit containing more than one thousand two hundred(1,200) square feet of living area.None of the units are over 1,200 s.f of living area. Per this standard, a total of 87,750 sf. (or 2.01 acres) of common open space is required. Combined with the 1.17 acres noted above for the baseline requirement, a minimum of 3.18 acres of common open space that meets the standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-27C is required to be provided in the proposed development. A total of 110,905 square feet(or 2.55 acres) of common open space is proposed consisting of linear open space along the north &west boundaries of the site with a 10 foot wide multi-use pathway connecting to the pathway in the first phase of the development to the east; a park with grass consisting of 9,803 sf. in area; a large amenity area; roof-top terraces on the clubhouse and leasing office; and street buffer and additional common area along E. Cinema Dr., a local street as depicted on the open space exhibit in Section VIII.D. There is an existing 40 foot wide sewer easement centered on the west property boundary(20' on this site) that contains an access road.A 14 foot wide access road is required to be maintained on this site,lawn and shrubs are allowed outside of the access road area within the easement but trees are not. Staff recommends an additional 5-feet is provided outside of the easement area for trees per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-8C and 11-3B-12C:or, apply for alternative compliance as set forth in UDC 11-5B-5. (Note:If wheel stops are not proposed to be provided within abutting parking spaces, an additional 2-feet is required to be added to the adjacent buffer to allow for vehicle overhang per UDC 11-3C-5B;the length of parking spaces may be reduced by 2-feet to 17 feet if 2-feet is added to the buffer width.)In order to count toward the open space requirement, the area must not be less than 400 sf. in area and shall have a minimum length and width of 20 feet and be fully landscaped. The non- landscaped area where the maintenance road is located may not count toward the common open space requirement,therefore, the open space exhibit should be revised and additional open space should be provided to meet the minimum 3.18 acres. Also an option would be to request alternative compliance to the common open space standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-27C per 11-4-3-27C.3b.Note: The allowance for alternative compliance (ALT)was intended to apply to the baseline common open space requirement but was inadvertently placed in the wrong code section with the last amendment—this is being rectified with the next series of code amendments but until then,ALT can be requested. 2. Common open space shall be not less than four hundred(400) square feet in area,and shall have a minimum length and width dimension of twenty feet(20'). The common open space areas depicted on the open space exhibit in Section VIII.E meet this requirement. 3. In phased developments, common open space shall be provided in each phase of the development consistent with the requirements for the size and number of dwelling units. This project is proposed to develop in one phase. 4. Unless otherwise approved through the conditional use process,common open space areas shall not be adjacent to collector or arterial streets unless separated from the street by a berm or constructed barrier at least four feet(4') in height,with breaks in the berm or barrier to allow for pedestrian access. (Ord. 09-1394, 3-3-2009, eff.retroactive to 2-4-2009)None of the common open space is located adjacent to a collector or an arterial street. D. Site Development Amenities: All multi-family developments shall provide for quality of life, open space, and recreation amenities to meet the particular needs of the residents as noted in UDC 11-4-3- 27D. The number of amenities shall depend on the size of the multi-family development based on the number of units. Page 11 For multi-family developments with 75 units or more,four(4)amenities shall be provided with at least one (1) from each category. For developments with more than 100 units such as this,the decision-making body shall require additional amenities commensurate to the size of the proposed development. The following amenities are proposed from each of the following categories: 1)Quality of Life— clubhouse/lounge with a game room,24-hour fitness facility, coffee bar and a business center; pocket library; grills and fire pits; and public art space; 2) Open Space—9,620 s.f.grassy courtyard area with six(6) seating areas with benches and shade structures, a hammock lawn, a 3,800 s.f. rooftop terrace, and a pocket library; 3)Recreation: swimming pool and a 10-foot wide multi-use pathway around the west and north boundaries of the site that connects to the perimeter pathway in Phase I; and 4)Multi-Modal: charging stations for electric vehicles. Staff is of the opinion the proposed amenities are commensurate with the size of development proposed. E. Landscaping Requirements: Development shall meet the minimum landscaping requirements in accord with chapter 3, "Regulations Applying to All Districts",of this title. Additionally, all street facing elevations shall have landscaping along their foundation that complies with the standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-27E.2. The landscape plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application should depict landscaping along the street facing elevations adjacent to E. Cinema Dr. in accord with these standards. Landscaping is required to be provided along all pathways per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C. Street buffer landscaping along the I-84 off- ramp, classified as an entryway corridor, and along E. Cinema Dr., a local street, is required to be installed with the subdivision improvements. F. Maintenance and Ownership Responsibilities: All multi-family developments shall record legally binding documents that state the maintenance and ownership responsibilities for the management of the development,including,but not limited to, structures,parking, common areas, and other development features." The Applicant shall comply with this requirement;a copy of such shall be submitted to the Planning Division prior to issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy within the development. Noise Abatement: Because residential uses are proposed adjacent to 1-84,noise abatement is required to be provided within the buffer along 1-84 in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3H-4D.Noise abatement in the form of a berm or a berm and wall combination is required to be provided approximately parallel to the freeway. The top of the berm or berm/wall is reuqired to be a minimum of 10-feet higher than the elevation at the centerline of the freeway. The Applicant is not proposing to construct a berm and/or wall as required and requests alternative compliance to this standard.Per UDC 11-3H-4D.4, the Director may approve alternative compliance as set forth in UDC 11-5 where the Applicant has a substitute noise abatement proposal in accord with ITD standards and prepared by a qualified sound engineer. Alternative compliance(ALT)to the noise abatement standards is requested because the buildings along the northern boundary of the site are set back between 110 and 145+/-feet from the I-84 off-ramp and a berm/wall with landscaping would not adequately buffer a multi-story building. A letter was submitted from Bionomics Environmental, Inc., listed on ITD's website as an acceptable consultant for noise studies,with an alternate recommendation for noise abatement in the form of double-paned windows with an STC rating of 31 for all units facing 1-84 and the off-ramp and minimizing the number of window openings facing 1-84. The letter states that in his opinion, double-paned windows are preferable to a noise wall and will provide adequate noise abatement for this site based on the reasons in the letter included in Section VIII.G. Based on this analysis,the Director is supportive of the request for ALT for double-pane windows with an STC rating of 31 to be provided in all units facing I-84 and the off-ramp. Page 12 Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual): Conceptual building elevations and perspectives were submitted for the proposed structures as shown in Section VIII.E. A modernist vernacular theme of design is proposed with a monochromatic color palette of off-whites and shades of gray with lap siding accents and decorative balcony railings for color and texture. Final design of all structures is required to comply with the design standards in the Architectural Standards Manual. A final plat application is required to be submitted,approved and a plat recorded for the second phase of WinCo Wells subdivision(H-2021-0007)to create a developable parcel prior to submittal of a Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review application for the proposed development. VII. DECISION A. Staff: Staff recommends approval of the proposed modification to the existing Development Agreement and Conditional Use Permit; and the Director has approved the request for Alternative Compliance per the provisions included in Section IX in accord with the Findings in Section X.

Page 30 0 Dave Aizpitarte Bionomics Environmental,Inc. 1045 East Winding Creek Eagle ID 83616 208-939-1022 1 visited Phase Two of the Overland Wells proposed site 3/24J2022 and its proximity to 1-84.Similar to Phase One,in my professional opinion,double-paned windows are preferable to a nolse wall and provide adequate noise abatement forthis site, Dave Aizpitarte background David Aizpitarte has performed and supervised all aspects of traffic noise studies,including all field sampling using FHWA procedures for sampling and quality control.He performed and supervised computer modeling using Stamina 20,TNM 1.0,and TNM 2.5 for modeling present and future traffic noise impacts.He has attended classes in traffic noise analysis including seminars presented by Bowlby and Associates and HMMH Inc.(developers of TNM).He is a traffic noise expert witness for the ACHD and the ITD and has served both on an advisory group for the upgrade of TNM and the ITD noise policy. He has performed a wide variety of traffic noise studies throughout Idaho and Montana in support of road design,airports and facilities expansion. 1 The location is relatively far away from the 1-84 centerline.Blonomics designed(non-engineering)the noise walls across from the Boise Airport on the north side of 184.The regulations did not require us to study receptors similar to the Overland Wells Phase Two proposed apartment complex located further away than ones located adjacent to 184.The further a potential sensitive receptor is from a noise source (184)the more community noise becomes a factor. 2.Similar to Phase One,the elevational difference and terrain features cover up the tires of the vehicles both on the eastbound off-ramp and 184.This would be a benefit for the first level(ground floor)of the apartments.At higher speeds tire noise is the predominant noise source and having them obscured by terrain can be sufficient mitigation.From what I observed I feel this is the case at this proposed project location. 3.ITD noise policy does not contemplate any mitigation for second or third floors of receptors in an apartment complex, The noise walls are typically not feasible from an engineering basis(too tall, structurally unsound)and not reasonable from a cost basis.I would recommend mitigation such as double paned windows and minimize the window openings facing the freeway.A Light Frame Ordinary Sash(closed)window will give you a 20 dB reduction in interior sound levels,Storm Windows will give you a 25 dB reduction.This is a cost effective and superior mitigation to noise walls that start a 7 dB reduction per receptor and again,walls only mitigate for the receptors directly behind them. 4.From an esoteric standpoint,walls can be claustrophobic and conflict with the view of the foothills (visual impacts).For example,Bionomics was able to design a wall for the Renaissance apartment complex on Chinden that met both engineering(Feasibility)and cost(Reasonability)criteria set by the FHWA(Federal Highway Administration).The owners felt thatthe wall would disrupt the view and give the apartment complex a"penitentiary"look, They declined(desirability)the wall. The same issue happened on the south east quadrant of the Ten Mile interchange.Similar to this proposed project the terrain features of the off ramp offered noise mitigation and the neighborhood was unanimous in retaining their view of the foothills. I hope this will give you a good case and please review and give me any comments or corrections. Dave Aizpitarte Principal Bionomics Environmental,Inc. Page 31 IX. CITY/AGENCY COMMENTS & CONDITIONS A. PLANNING DIVISION Development Agreement Modification: 1. The conceptual development plan included in Section VIII.B and conceptual building elevations included in Section VIII.E of this report shall replace the conceptual development plan and building elevations included in Section VIILA and in the existing Development Agreement(DA)(Inst. #2016-060157).

A final plat application shall be submitted, approved and a plat recorded for the second phase of the WinCo Wells subdivision preliminary plat(H-2021-0007)to create a developable parcel prior to submittal of a Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review application for the proposed development. 4. The multi-family development shall have an ongoing obligation to comply with the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-27. 5. Submit floor plans demonstrating compliance with the minimum private usable open space standard of eighty(80) square feet for each unit in accord with UDC 11-4-3-27B.3 with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application. 6. The multi-family development shall record a legally binding document that states the maintenance and ownership responsibilities for the management of the development,including,but not limited to, structures,parking, common areas, and other development features as set forth in UDC 11-4-3-27F. A recorded copy of said document shall be submitted to the Planning Division prior to issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for the development. 7. Comply with building code requirements for separation between structures within the development. 8. The site and/or landscape plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance shall be revised as follows: a. Buildings shall provide a minimum setback of ten feet(10')unless a greater setback is otherwise required,per UDC 11-4-3-27B.1. The garage structures along the eastern boundary don't comply with this standard. b. Depict the locations of the property management office,maintenance storage area, central mailbox location(including provisions for parcel mail,that provide safe pedestrian and/or vehicular access),and a directory and map of the development at an entrance or convenient location for those entering the development in accord with UDC 11-4-3-27B.7. b. All transformer and utility vaults and other service areas shall be located in an area not visible from a public street, or shall be fully screened from view from a public street in accord with UDC 11-4-3-27B.2. c. Depict landscaping along the foundations of all street facing elevations adjacent to E. Cinema Dr. as set forth in UDC 11-4-3-27E.2. Page 32 d. Depict landscaping along all pathways in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C. e. Provide a minimum of 3.18 acres of common open space that complies with the standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-27C. f. Include details for the proposed amenities (i.e. grills&fire pits,public art, shade structures, etc.). g. Widen the buffer along the west boundary of the site to include a minimum of 5-feet outside of the sewer easement to plant trees in accord with the standards for perimeter parking lot landscaping in UDC 11-3B-8C and landscaping along pathways in UDC 11-3B-12C; or, apply for alternative compliance to these standards as set forth in UDC 11-5B-5. (Note: If wheel stops are not proposed to be provided within abutting parking spaces, an additional 2-feet is required to be added to the adjacent buffer to allow for vehicle overhang per UDC 11-3C-5B;the length of parking spaces may be reduced by 2-feet to 17-feet if 2-feet is added to the buffer width.)A 14-foot wide maintenance road should be depicted within the easement and any landscaping within the area where the maintenance road is located should be removed from the plan; the 6- foot wide area within the easement outside of the maintenance road area may be landscaped with grass and bushes. 9. The Applicant's request for Alternative Compliance to the noise abatement standards listed in UDC 11-3H-4D was approved by the Director. Double-pane windows with an STC rating of 31 shall be intstalled on the north-facing elevations of all units facing 1-84 and the off-ramp as proposed. B. PUBLIC WORKS 1. Site Specific Conditions of Approval 1.1 No Permanent structures (buildings, carports,trash receptacle walls,fences,infiltration trenches, light poles, etc.)can be built within the utility easement. 1.2 Sewer easement varies depending on sewer depth. Sewer 0-15 ft deep require a 20 ft easement, 16-20 ft a 30 ft easement,and 21-30 ft a 40 ft easement.Adjust easements accordingly. 1.3 Sewer 18 ft or deeper require a 60" manhole. 1.4 For water and sewer in parallel, if sewer depth is greater than 15', locater water main 5 ft from edge of easement and center the sewer main between the water main and other edge of easement. 1.5 Utility Plan shows southern main connecting to existing sewer main on Cinema Dr. There is current no existing sewer stub in that location. Sewer will need to be brought from the stub from E Overland Rd. 1.6 Ensure no sewer services pass through infiltration trenches. 1.7 Offsite waterline to the east must be installed to allow looping before this development is constructed. 1.8 Water stub into property at the southeast corner of the apartments needs to be abandoned per City Requirements if it is not used. 2. General Conditions of Approval 2.1 Applicant shall coordinate water and sewer main size and routing with the Public Works Department, and execute standard forms of easements for any mains that are required to provide service outside of a public right-of-way. Minimum cover over sewer mains is three feet, if cover from top of pipe to sub-grade is less than three feet than alternate materials shall be used in conformance of City of Meridian Public Works Departments Standard Specifications. Page 33 2.2 Per Meridian City Code(MCC),the applicant shall be responsible to install sewer and water mains to and through this development. Applicant may be eligible for a reimbursement agreement for infrastructure enhancement per MCC 8-6-5. 2.3 The applicant shall provide easement(s) for all public water/sewer mains outside of public right of way(include all water services and hydrants). The easement widths shall be 20-feet wide for a single utility, or 30-feet wide for two. The easements shall not be dedicated via the plat,but rather dedicated outside the plat process using the City of Meridian's standard forms. The easement shall be graphically depicted on the plat for reference purposes. Submit an executed easement(on the form available from Public Works),a legal description prepared by an Idaho Licensed Professional Land Surveyor,which must include the area of the easement(marked EXHIBIT A)and an 81/2"x I I"map with bearings and distances(marked EXHIBIT B)for review. Both exhibits must be sealed, signed and dated by a Professional Land Surveyor. DO NOT RECORD. Add a note to the plat referencing this document. All easements must be submitted,reviewed, and approved prior to development plan approval. 2.4 The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water(MCC 12-13-8.3). The applicant should be required to use any existing surface or well water for the primary source. If a surface or well source is not available, a single-point connection to the culinary water system shall be required.
