V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
Land Use: This property is designated Mixed Use—Regional(MU-R)on the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM)contained in the Comprehensive Plan.
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).
This site is part of a much larger mixed-use designated area that contains a wide variety and mix of
uses as desired in MU-R designated areas. Although the proposed residential care facility use is
considered commercial,it is residential in nature as folks reside there. The proposed use provides a
good transition between more intense commercial/retail uses and low-density residential uses to the
west and north in Overland Way subdivision.
Transportation: There are no collector streets designated on the Master Street Map (MSM) for this
site. This project will be accessed from the east through the adjacent property via E. Overland Rd.,a
mobility corridor; direct lot access is not proposed or allowed via S. Loder Pl. or E. Overland Rd.
This site is in close proximity to the Overland/Eagle Rd. intersection,a major arterial intersection,on
the south side of the 1-84 off-ramp. Transit services are available to serve this site via Route 42.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES(https://www.meridiancity.or /g compplan):
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 residential care facility will contribute to the variety of housing types in the City
by offering care for the elderly.
Page 2
• "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.
• "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 entry of the proposed residential care facility is proposed to face east, away from
abutting residential properties. Landscaping is proposed within buffers along the west and
north boundaries of the site and a 6-foot tall fence is required for screening along the north
boundary. The proposed structures is a single-story, which should be compatible with
adjacent residential homes and properties.
• "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land."
(3.07.00)
The proposed residential care facility should be compatible with existing rural residential
uses to the north and with the commercial multi-tenant retail/restaurant uses to the east.
• "Maximize public services by prioritizing infill development of vacant and underdeveloped
parcels within the City over parcels on the fringe."(2.02.02)
This site and the residential subdivision to the north (Overland Way) is an enclave
surrounded by City annexed land. Development of this site will result in a more efficient
provision of public services.
VI. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE ANALYSIS
