V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
(This section and the one below have been updated in a strike-through and underline format that reflects
the discussion at the public hearing and the Commission's recommendation on the subject application.)
This property is designated Medium High-Density Residential(MHDR)on the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM)and is located within the area governed by the Ten Mile Specific Area Plan(TMISAP).
LANs USE: MHDR areas are locations recommended primarily for relatively dense multi-family housing
types, such as row houses,townhouses, and condominium and apartment buildings and complexes. These
areas should have a mix of housing types that achieve an overall average density target of 12 dwelling units
per gross acre with densities ranging from 8-15 units per acre. MHDR areas typically are relatively compact
areas within a larger neighborhood and generally should be located around and near more intensely
developed areas, such as Mixed Use Commercial or Employment areas,in order to provide convenient
access to these commercial activity and employment centers for the greatest number of residents.Apartment
buildings are desired to be accessed via shared entrances and hallways.
The proposed development incorporates a mix of single-family attached homes with(44) front-loaded
garages, (18)alley-loaded townhouses and(216)multi-family apartments at an overall gross density of 13.2
units per acre consistent with the density desired in the MHDR FLUM designation in the TMISAP. The
apartment buildings have enclosed shared accesses but not shared hallways. This property is in an area that's
largely developed with and planned for medium high-density residential uses. Mixed Use—Commercial
areas are in the development process approximately '/4 mile to the east and Employment areas are designated
approximately'/2 mile to the west and south. The Ten Mile interchange is also within about 1.5 miles to the
southeast of the site.
TRANSPORTATION: ACHD's Master Street Map(MSM)depicts a new towncenter collector street across
this property from the west to the east boundary connecting to N. San Marco Way. The Transportation
System Map in the TMISAP lists the functional classification for this street as a collector street and the
Street Section Map lists the design classification as a major collector street,which is intended to be
constructed consistent with Street Section C as follows:
Page 5
1d' 9 B' 6' 1 r l r fi' ' d'
�av ne rave ne Bike
Lane 24' Lane
Cur�-n.cA distance
This street is planned to eventually provide a connection from W. Franklin Rd.to the west past N.
McDermott Rd.Local streets, an alley and a common driveway are proposed internally for access to the
proposed residential units.
DESIGN: All residential neighborhoods in the Ten Mile Interchange area should be developed in
consideration of Traditional Neighborhood Design(TND)principals and concepts and the standards
established by the City for the TN-R district. Future development should be consistent with the design
elements in the TMISAP for the MHDR FLUM designation as determined by the Application of the Design
Elements table(see pg. 3-49), as follows: (Staffs analysis of consistency with these elements is in italics)
3-33. Street-oriented Design: Useable porches should be a dominant element of residential buildings and
should be located along at least 30%of the front fagade of the buildings—a higher percentage is
recommended as is the location of porches on one or more side facades. 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. Front-loaded 2-car garages that are visible from the primary street
must be designed with two(2) separate garage doors.
Out of the 62 single-family attached/townhome units, only 18 are alley-loaded,the other 44 are all
front loaded with living area 20'behind the garages away from the street. None of the units have
usable porches that meet the guideline, except for the multi family apartments.No porches are
proposed on the side facades.All units have single 2-car garage doors, not separate doors.
Covered entries to the units are proposed;however, these areas are not usable as a porch as they
are barely wider than the doors[i.e. 1'4"wider on the attached units (8"on each side of the door)
and 3'wider on the townhouse units(18"on each side of the door)]and are located to the side
and rear of the garages—not on the front facade as desired.In order to meet the minimum
guideline of 30%,minimum 7.5'wide porches would need to be provided for each attached unit,
and 6.6'wide porches would need to be provided for each townhome unit—this would still not
provide very "usable"porches as the entryway to the door takes up most of that space.

• 3-34.Buildings to Scale: Everything seen and experienced from the sidewalk—building fronts,
lighting,open space—should be designed for human interaction at a pedestrian's perspective.Key
elements to consider are the continuity of the building sizes,how the street-level and upper-level
Page 6
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 and other open space. Human-scale design is critical to the success of built places for
pedestrians. Building entrances should be placed close to the street; ground floor windows,
articulated facades, appropriately scaled lighting, awnings and other weather protection should be
provided.
Continuity of building sizes is proposed but with little variation inform and design of any of the
structures. The street-level and upper-level architectural detailing offer few differences in the
attached and townhome units;architectural detailing between the first two (2)stories on the
multi family units are generally the same with a different siding material on the third story.
Elements that anchor and emphasize pedestrian scale are windows, doors, weather protection/roofs
over windows and doors, window pop-outs and recesses—the addition of masonry accents on the
first floor facades would assist in emphasizing pedestrian scale and durability& quality of
materials. Building entrances are not placed at the street on attached units as desired, they are
located at the rear of the garages away from the street with garages facing the street. Building
entrances for the townhomes face the street as desired because these units are alley-loaded.
Buildings/living area are not oriented to open space areas or public spaces such as streets(except
for the 18 townhome units) as desired.
Revisions to the plans and elevations are necessary to meet this design criteria.More architectural
variety and details should be provided to differentiate between the street-level and upper-level
units.Lighting at a pedestrian-scale should be provided on the buildings facing the street and
internal walkways.
3-36.Neighborhood Design: All residential neighborhoods in the Ten Mile interchange area should
be developed in consideration of traditional neighborhood design principles and concepts,which
pertain to mixed housing stock, architecture and design, streetscapes and streets.Front porches and
garages accessed from an alley are usually the standard in residential areas;parking for homes is
primarily located behind buildings. Streetscape design relates to the street itself and consists of
landscaped parkways with trees between curbs and sidewalks, adjacent sidewalks and front yard
spaces and provides public space for street trees, street furniture and view corridors. Other aspects of
neighborhood design that contribute to a traditional streetscape are connected network of streets,
alleys and sidewalks. Roadways and pedestrian ways are interconnected so that access for
pedestrians, cyclists and automobile drivers is direct and convenient and allows traffic to be
dispersed through a variety of streets and ways.Narrower streets designed with TND characteristics
result in slower moving traffic and provide a safer,more pleasant pedestrian environment and
encourages interaction among residents.
A diversity of residential housing types is proposed for a variety of housing choices within the same
neighborhood as desired.Although two(2) different "types"of architecture are proposed for each
of the three(3) housing types, the form is the same and the trim details only vary slightly—only
some of the materials and window placements are different—more variety should be provided.
As previously noted, usable porches that meet the minimum guidelines are not provided for the
single-family attached and townhome units as desired.Alley-accessed garages and parking are
only provided for the 18 townhome units;the 44 single-family attached units are all accessed from
the street with parking in front of the garages facing the street, which is not desired.Landscaped
parkways are proposed as desired with view corridors but no street furniture is proposed except for
a couple of benches along the southwest side of the collector street.A connected network of narrow
streets, alleys and sidewalks is proposed as desired. ACHD is requiring traffic calming measures to
be provided in the collector street to slow traffic.

• 3-37.Building Form& Character:
Building Facades—Buildings should be designed so that their primary facades relate to active
public spaces and pedestrian areas. The primary facade of a structure is that frontage of the building
that has been designed and detailed so as to represent the building's most important elevations. The
primary facade should always include an entry into the building. Entries should be located so as to
provide direct access from adjacent public spaces,primary streets and activity areas.Access from
walkways should be uninterrupted by vehicular traffic.Buildings should be located so as to help
frame adjacent public spaces and to provide an architectural backdrop for associated passive and
active activities. The space between a building facade and the adjacent walkway should be
appropriately landscaped with a combination of lawns,groundcover, shrubs and trees.
The townhomes are designed so that their primary facades face the street with direct pedestrian
access from primary streets; access from walkways is uninterrupted by vehicular traffic as garages
are accessed from alleys. The single-family attached structures, which make up 71% of the single-
family and townhome units, are not designed so that their primary facade relates to active
pedestrian areas or public spaces—the garages face the street;the entry is at the living area 20'
behind the garages. Building entries do not have direct pedestrian access from the street because
garages are in front of the living area facing the street,access from walkways is interrupted by
vehicle traffic because all of the units have front-loaded garages and driveways. The multi family
units have direct pedestrian access that is uninterrupted by traffic because walkways are proposed
up next to the buildings. None of the units, including multi family units,frame open space areas;
only the townhome units frame the streets as desired.Landscaping is not depicted on the plan in
the space between building facades and adjacent walkways as desired
Revisionsto eplans and elevations am neeessary to meet this design e4teri,%A dif-ftientppo
tffle should beprovidedfor the aftaehed units jvkh garages set baek as least 20'behin
The space between the building
fafade and adjacent walkway should be appropriately landscaped with a combination of lawns,
groundcover,shrubs and trees;a landscape plan should be submitted that demonstrates
compliance with this guideline.
Building Heights: Low-rise buildings of 2-4 stories over much of the area is recommended.
Two-story single-family attached and townhome structures and 3-story multi family structures are
proposed in accord with this guideline.
• Pitched Roofs: A mix of flat and pitched roofs are anticipated in the Ten Mile area based on a wide
variety of individual buildings. Pitched roofs should be,where possible, symmetrical hips or gables,
with a pitch between 4:12 and 12:12 with an overhang of at least 12 inches and a maximum of 2.5'.
Roof brackets and rafter tail treatments are encouraged.
All of the roof pitches proposed fall within the desired pitch range. Corbels are depicted on all of
the concept elevations;rafter tail treatments are encouraged as well as other design elements as
noted in the ASM.
Page 8
• 3-47.Public Art: Public art should be incorporated into the design of streetscapes,public buildings,
parks,transit, infrastructure, and other public projects in the Ten Mile area. Public art should be
meaningful and encourage the free flow of ideas and cultural ideologies. Public art should be
integrated into either the architectural design or the design of plazas and public spaces associated
with a building and should be easily visible to the public (e.g. visible from the street or publicly
accessible open spaces rather than interior courtyards).
Public art is not proposed but should be provided in accord with this guideline.Details should be
submitted prior to the City Council hearing on what type of public art is proposed and the location
of such. The provision ofpublic art would also qualify as another amenity(1 point).
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 single-family attached dwellings, townhouse dwellings and multi family apartments will
contribute to the variety of housing types available within 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 service is available and can be extended by the developer with development 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)
This area contains a variety of housing types, including single-family attached and detached homes,
townhomes and apartments, which contributes to the diversity in housing types available within the
City.
• "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 western portion of the site proposed to develop with single-family attached and townhouse
dwellings should be compatible with adjacent like uses to the west and south; the eastern portion of
the site proposed to develop with multi family apartments should be compatible with adjacent
townhouse and multi family apartments to the east. The railroad tracks and associated right-of-way
provides a 200 foot separation between single-family detached homes and the proposed
development. The street buffer and associated landscaping along the proposed collector street(N.
San Marco Way)will assist in buffering the single-family attached and detached homes and
townhomes to the south. The proposed density should be compatible with adjacent existing and
future development in the MHDR designated area.
• "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land."
(3.07.00)
The proposed residential uses and site design should be generally compatible with adjacent
residential uses and developments.
• "Support infill development that does not negatively impact the abutting, existing development.
Infill projects in downtown should develop at higher densities, irrespective of existing
development."(2.02.02C)
Page 9
The proposed infill development shouldn't negatively impact adjacent existing properties as similar
uses and densities exist and/or are planned in this area.
• "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 with development of the
subdivision;services are required to be provided to and though this development in accord with
current City plans.
• "Require pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions together and promote
neighborhood connectivity."(2.02.01D)
There are no multi-use pathways designated on the Pathways Master Plan for this site, nor are any
pathways stubbed to this property other than sidewalks along public streets. The sidewalks along
streets will promote pedestrian connectivity with adjacent neighborhoods.
• "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 are required to be provided
with development of the subdivision.
• "Eliminate existing private treatment and septic systems on properties annexed into the City and
instead connect users to the City wastewater system; discourage the prolonged use of private
treatment septic systems for enclave properties."
If annexed, the septic system for the existing home is required to be removed with development.
• "Maximize public services by prioritizing infill development of vacant and underdeveloped parcels
within the City over parcels on the fringe."(2.02.02)
Development of the subject infill parcel will maximize public services.
VI. STAFF ANALYSI
A. ANEXATION(AZ)
The Applicant proposes to annex 23.67 acres of land with a TN-R(Traditional Neighborhood
Residential)zoning district which is listed in the Zoning District Compatibility Matrix in the TMISAP as
one of the best choices for zoning in the MHDR designation.
A preliminary plat and conceptual building elevations were submitted, included in Section VIII, showing
how the property is proposed to be subdivided into 63 building lots and 8 common lots for the
development of 44 single-family attached dwellings, 18 townhome dwellings &216 apartments for a
total of 278 new residential units.
The proposed residential use,mix of housing types and density of the development is consistent with the
MHDR FLUM designation; however,the proposed architectural design,especially for the attached
units,does not comply with the TND guidelines in the TMISAP, as discussed above.Development
in this area should conform to these guidelines in order to be deemed consistent with the Plan and
in the best interest of the City for annexation. Staff r-eeommends revisions to the plans as noted
above in Seetion V prior-to Commission aetion on this appliention.
This property,along with two (2) 1-acre properties to the south, are enclaves surrounded by existing and
future residential uses—single-family residential detached homes exist to the north(Chesterfield),
townhome dwellings are in the development process to the south(Ascent),townhome-style multi-family
Page 10
dwellings exists to the east(Entrada Farms), single-family attached and detached homes are in the
development process to the south(Alamar); and single-family attached homes are anticipated to develop
on the property to the west(Aviator).
A legal description and exhibit map for the boundary of the property proposed to be annexed is included
in Section VIII.A. This property is within the City's Area of City Impact boundary and within the area
governed by the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan(TMISAP), as discussed above in Section V.
The City may require a development agreement(DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to
Idaho Code section 67-6511A. If this property is annexed, Staff recommends a DA is required with
the provisions discussed herein and included in Section IX.A.
B. PRELIMINARY PLAT(PP):
A preliminary plat is proposed consisting of 63 [44 single-family attached, 18 townhomes&one(1)
multi-family lot for 216 apartment units] building lots and eight(8) [five (5)landscape, one(1) common
driveway, one (1)alley and one(1)non-buildable)common lots on 21.06-acres of land in the TN-R
district. Proposed lots range in size from 2,090 to 4,257 square feet(s.f.)with an average lot size of
2,790 sf. The subdivision is proposed to develop in two(2)phases as shown on the preliminary plat in
Section VIII.B. The single-family residential portion is proposed to develop with the first phase and the
multi-family development in the second phase.
Single-family attached dwellings,townhome dwellings and multi-family developments are listed as a
principal permitted use in the TN-R zoning district per UDC Table 11-2D-2. Multi-family developments
are subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-27;review of the development for
consistency with these standards will occur with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements: There is an existing home and several outbuildings on the
property that are proposed to be removed with development. Prior to the City Engineer's signature on
the final plat,all existing structures that do not conform to the setbacks of the district are required
to be removed.
Dimensional Standards(UDC Table 11-2D-6): The proposed plat and subsequent development is
required to comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2D-6 for the TN-R zoning
district. There is no minimum lot size in the TN-R district; each building site is required to be of
sufficient size to meet the minimum setbacks for the district. A minimum of two (2)housing types are
provided as required.
Access: Access is proposed via the extension of N. San Marco Way, a collector street,at the southeast
corner of the subdivision. San Marco Way will extend to the west boundary and connect with W. Aviator
St. to be extended with Aviator Subdivision(H-2020-0111).
This property and three(3)properties to the south take access from Zimmerman Ln., a private street;two
(2)of these properties don't have public street frontage. ACHD is requiring Zimmerman Ln.to be
dedicated and improved as a local public street in order to provide a north/south street connection
between Franklin Rd. and the collector street,public street frontage for the two parcels to the
south, and access to Ascent Subdivision from a local street,which will enable their temporary
vehicle access to be converted to emergency and pedestrian access only.The plat should be revised
accordingly.
Three(3) stub streets(i.e.E. Chair Lift St.,W.Atomic St. and W. Ski Hill St.) exist in Ascent
Subdivision that are required to be extended with development as required by ACHD.
A street is planned to stub at the south boundary of the subject property from Alamar Subdivision near
the southwest corner of this site per the approved preliminary plat(H-2022-0004). The development
agreement for Alamar(Inst.#2022-065010) states the final alignment at the north property line shall be
Page I I
determined at the time of the second final plat submittal to allow the developer flexibility to work with
this developer on the alignment. Although the second phase final plat has not yet been submitted,the
common lot at the northwest corner of the Alamar development was included in the first phase(FP-
2022-0027)with the southern portion of the north/south street(N. Feather Reed Ave.),which essentially
dictates alignment of the street north to the collector street. ACHD is requiring a stub street to be
provided from the collector street to the south boundary of the subdivision in alignment with Feather
Reed to the south;ACHD is not requiring Wolfsburg to align with that street. Staff is concerned about
the proximity of N. Wolfsburg Ave. to Feather Reed and safety of left-turn movements onto the collector
from both of those streets. The collector street has a fairly significant curve in this location as well that
may hinder sight distance.
Common Driveway(UDC 11-6C-3D): One(1) common driveway is proposed at the northwest corner
of the site on Lot 10,Block 1 for access to Lots 11-14,Block 1. Common driveways are allowed to serve
a maximum of four(4) dwelling units; in no case shall more than three(3) dwelling units be located on
one(1) side of the driveway. A total of four(4) dwelling units are proposed on the north side of the
driveway; the final plat and common driveway exhibit shall be revised to depict a maximum of
three(3)units on one(1) side of the driveway as required; or,alternative compliance may be
requested as set forth in UDC 11-5B-5.
A perpetual ingress/egress easement is required to be filed with the Ada County Recorder for the
common driveway,which shall include a requirement for maintenance of a paved surface capable of
supporting fire vehicles and equipment. This may be accomplished through depiction of the easement
on the face of the final plat and an accompanying note.If a separate easement is recorded,a copy
should be submitted to the Planning Division with the final plat for City Engineer signature.
Alleys (UDC 11-6C-3B. : One(1)20-foot wide alley is proposed for access to the townhome lots in
Block 3. The Alley should be constructed in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-6C-3B.5. A
detail of the alley should be submitted with the final plat that demonstrates complies with these
standards.
Parking: All single-family attached and townhouse dwelling units are proposed to have a 2-car garage
with a 2-space parking pad consistent with UDC Table 11-3C-6 for 1-to 4-bedroom units; if any units
contain more than 4 bedrooms, an additional two (2) spaces are required with at least one(1)of those
being an enclosed space. An additional 38 on-street parking spaces(0.5+per home) are available for
residents and guests as shown on the parking exhibit in Section VIII.1. These spaces are located adjacent
to common areas and in front of the townhome units as there is not adequate room in front of the
attached units for on-street parking with the width of the lots vs. the driveways. With the narrow 27-foot
wide streets proposed internally,which are desired with TND,parking is only allowed on one side of the
street.
A minimum of 430 parking spaces are required to be provided for the multi-family development based
on 48 1-bedroom units and 168 2-bedroom units,with 216 of those spaces being in a covered carport or
garage,per UDC Table 11-3C-6. A total of 442 parking spaces are proposed overall,which exceeds the
minimum by 12 spaces,with 221 of those spaces covered.
Based on the number of parking spaces provided(442), a minimum of 18 bicycle parking spaces are
required per UDC 11-3C-6G, in accord with the standards in UDC 11-3C-5C. A total of 18 spaces are
proposed. Staff recommends a bicycle rack is provided for each building and for the clubhouse.
Landscaping(UDC 11-3B): A 20-foot wide street buffer with an 8-foot wide parkway planted with
Class lI trees and a 5-foot wide detached sidewalk is required to be provided along N. San Marco Way, a
collector street,per UDC Table 11-2D-6, landscaped per the updated standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C.
An 8-foot wide parkway with Class 11 trees is required along all local streets per UDC Table 11-2D-6,
landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C.
Page 12
All common open space areas are required to be landscaped with one deciduous shade tree for every
5,000 square feet of area and include a variety of trees, shrubs, lawn or other vegetative groundcover per
UDC 11-3G-5B.3. Shrubs should be added to common open space areas and the calculations table
on the landscape plan should be revised to include this updated standard; a minimum of 28 trees
are required.
There are several existing trees on this site that will be removed with development. An existing tree
inventory and mitigation plan is included in Section VIII.H. Mitigation is required to be provided per
the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-10C.5; calculations demonstrating compliance should be
included on the landscape plan submitted with the final plat application.
Landscaping is required along all pathways per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C.
Common Open Space(UDC 11-3G-3): A minimum of 15%qualified open space is required to be
provided within the single-family and townhome portion of the development per Table 11-3G-3 for the
TN-R zoning district. Based on 10.01 acres of land,a minimum of 1.5 acres is required to be provided
that complies with the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3B.Note: The multi family development is exempt
from these standards and is instead required to comply with the common open space standards listed in
UDC 11-4-3-27C. The multi family development will be reviewed for compliance with those standards
with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application.
The exhibit included in Section VIII.F depicts 35.4%(or 3.55 acres) of common open space for the
single-family and townhome portion of the development consisting of three(3) large common areas over
5,000 square feet(s.£)at 41,652 and 9,239 s.f. and a large area at the south end of the site west of the
collector; 8-foot wide landscaped parkways along the townhome lots; and landscaped linear open space.
The common lot at the southwest corner of the development will adjoin common area in Alamar
Subdivision if the stub street to the south is relocated further to the east as required. The collector street
buffers do not count toward qualified open space unless they meet the enhanced buffer requirements
noted in UDC 11-3G-3B.3,which is interpreted to mean buffer landscape materials consistent with
entryway corridors listed in UDC 11-3B-7C.3f. On the south side of the collector,the linear open space
that is outside of the buffer may count if landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B.
design.Preferably,the open spaee exhibit should be revised prior-to the Commission hearing but at the
latest before the City Couneil hearing,to inelude landseaping and other-design features that
demonstrate eomplinnee with the quality and qualified open spaee standards liste
Any areas that don't qualify should be depicted as non-
qualifying open space.When multi-family is approved concurrently with single-family,the
minimum open space requirements in UDC 11-3G-3 shall apply to the gross land area of the entire
development.
In order to qualify,common areas should be landscaped per the updated standards listed in UDC
11-3G-4B.3; parkways and street buffers should be landscaped per the standards listed in UDC H-
3A-17E and 11-3B-7C[collector buffers must meet the enhanced buffer requirements(i.e.
entryway corridor standards)in order to qualify]; stormwater swales that are incorporated into
required landscaped areas should comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-11c; and linear
open space should be landscaped per the requirements in UDC 11-3B.
Site Amenities(UDC 11-3G-4): A minimum of two (2)points of site amenities are required based on
the area of the single-family/townhome portion of the development. Qualified amenities should include
features listed in UDC Table 11-3G-4. A 5,000+ s.£ children's playground with a play structure, swings,
climbing rocks, a climbing dome, seating benches, and a shade structure within a safe fenced area(3
points)is proposed which meets the minimum standard. The provision of public art, as recommended,
will also qualifty as an amenity(1 point). The"pathway park" consisting of 9,239 s.f. at the
southwest corner of the development where a shade structure,pathway and seating area is
Page 13
proposed should include a picnic table in order to qualify as a picnic area(2 points).Required
sidewalks adjacent to public right-of-way do not qualify. Overall,the proposed amenities exceed the
minimum standards.Note: The multi family development is exempt from these standards and is instead
required to comply with the site amenity standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-27D. The multi family
development will be reviewed for compliance with those standards with the Certificate of Zoning
Compliance application.
Pathways: The Pathways Master Plan does not depict a multi-use pathway on this site.No pathways are
proposed except for sidewalks required along streets within the development.
Sidewalks(11-3A-17): A 5-foot wide detached sidewalk is required along W. Franklin Rd., an arterial
street, and along local streets in the TN-R zone within the development; and a 6-foot wide detached
sidewalk is required along N. San Marco Way, a collector street per Street Section C in the TMISAP,
consistent with the 6-foot wide sidewalk in Entrada Farms to the east.
Fencing 11( 3A-D: Fencing should comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. Six-foot tall solid
vinyl fencing is proposed around the west and north perimeter boundaries of the subdivision and on
shared lot lines between building and common lots that are visible from the public street, as shown on
the landscape plan. A 5' tall open vision iron fence is proposed around the children's playground area. A
2-rail split rail fence is proposed at the back edge of the street buffer along the northeast side of San
Marco Way on the multi-family portion of the site. Fencing is not proposed along the perimeter of
Lot 1,Block 4 where it adjoins future common area in Alamar Subdivision and should not be so
that residents of both subdivisions can enjoy a larger common area.
Lighting(UDC 11-2D-6F1: In addition to the standards set forth in UDC 11-3A-11 of this title,the
following standards shall apply within the TN-R district: All dwelling units shall have a minimum of two
(2)lights at the front of the unit.All dwelling units on alley accessed properties shall have a minimum of
two (2)lights along the alley. All lighting required in this section shall prevent uplighting and shall be on
a photocell that activates the lighting at dusk and turns it off at dawn.
Waterways: The Kennedy Lateral crosses the northeast corner of this site within a parcel of land owned
by the irrigation district. This parcel bisects the subject property into two(2)parcels. The Applicant is
working with the irrigation district to try to deed the small"triangle"area on the north side of the lateral
to the irrigation district because it is of no value to this development.
A 6-foot tall closed vision vinyl fence is proposed adjacent to the lateral; UDC 11-3A-6C.3 requires an
open vision fence at least 6-feet in height and having an I I-gauge,2-inch mesh or other construction,
equivalent in ability to deter access to the lateral. Staff recommends a 6-foot tall wrought iron fence is
provided in this area to deter access to the lateral.

I. Existing Tree Inventory&Mitigation Plan
Newkirk Neighborhood Tree Inventory and Mitigation Plan
The following is an inventory of existing trees on the proposed Newkirk Neighborhood property. The trees are in
fair to poor condition as they have not been well maintained and most are in various stages of decay and nearly
all have structural issues.For this reason,we are proposing to remove all the existing trees and to mitigate for
some of the caliper inches of loss. Some of the trees such as the willow do not require mitigation per city code. A
map and photos of the trees is provided below as well as a total of caliper inches that should be mitigated for and
a calculation of trees to be provided in the new development per the landscape plan. It is calculated that
approximately 105"of existing tree caliper should be mitigated for,the project is providing 318 new trees with
an average caliper of 2"that equals 636 caliper inches. The new trees planted will far outweigh any trees being
removed from the site.
