RE: H-2023-0003 /2435 N Black Cat Road/Julia 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 Julia Subdivision, which
will consist of 10 single-family lots and 5 common lots on 2.77-acres located at 2435 N Black
Cat Road, 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 with the proposal to dedicate over 22% of the site as open space is
supported by Goal 3.07.02A, which encourages usable open space to be incorporated into
residential subdivisions.
The road connection proposed into the site from the north 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 pedestrian connections provided to the east as
well as along the proposed roadway are compatible with Goal 3.07.02C, which requires
pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions together to promote
neighborhood connectivity.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
c-e
