RE: H-2022-0089 / 1975 E Victory Road (Parcel#S 1129223095)/Millwood Subdivision
Sonya,
The City of Meridian has requested feedback regarding the proposed annexation with zoning
of R-8 (Medium density Residential) and a preliminary plat for the Millwood Subdivision,
which will consist of 17 detached single-family homes and 2 common lots on 4.11-acres located
at 1975 E Victory Road(Parcel#S 1129223095), within the City's Area of City Impact.
Ada County is supportive of the application due to the proximity of the site to existing public
services. Goal 2.2f of the Ada County Comprehensive Plan encourages residential development
to occur at urban densities within Areas of City Impact where public facilities are
available. As the Future Land Use Map of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, as adopted by
Ada County,designates the site as Medium Density Residential, which is primarily intended for
single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre, the proposed zoning
of R-8 (Medium density Residential) is compatible with the comprehensive plan.
The layout of the development also complies with many of the goals of the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan. The proposal to include a small playground and pavilion for community
gatherings, is supported by Goal 3.07.02A of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, as adopted by
Ada County, which encourages usable open space be incorporated into new residential
subdivisions, and Goal 2.01.01B, which encourages opportunities for physical activity to be
provided with new development.
The road connection proposed into the site from the west is in compliance by Goal 3.03.03C,
which requires street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance
connectivity and improve traffic flow; and the stub street and accompanying sidewalk which
will be provided to the property to the east is consistent with Goal 3.03.020, which encourages
new development to connect local roadways to adjacent properties.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and please feel free to contact me with any
questions.
Sincerely,
