EXHIBIT G
Zebulon Heights Subdivision No.2
AZ-OS-006
Zoning Amendment Findings
According to Meridian City Code (MCC) 11.15-11, General Standards Applicable to
Zoning Amendments, both the Planning & Zoning Commission and Council are required
"to review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in
tenus of the folluwing standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the
following questions about the proposed zoning amendment."
The following is the list of standards found in I 1-15-11 and analysis by City Council:
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with aDd in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, If not, has there beeD an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, 'mediwn density' is defined as areas
including single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per
acre. The applicant is requesting that all the subject site be zoned R-4 (Low
Density Residential). The R-4 district allows for a maximum of four (4) dwelling
units per acre (MCCll-7-2.C). Although the requested zoning designation, R-4,
allows densities consistent with thc medium density Comprehensive Plan
designation, the proposed residential density is only 2.4 gross dwelling units per
acre. The Comprehensive Plan does allow a one step increase or decrease in
residential areas without amending the Comprehensive Plan. Due to the existing
one.acre lots in Heritage Subdivision to the west, City Council believes that a step
down in density is justified here. If the City approves an R-4 zone (and associated
PP and CUP applications), the proposed zoning/density will allow a smooth
transition from the estate lot sizes in Heritage Subdivision to the urban lots in
Madison Park to the east. Further, City Council finds the following Goals,
Objectives, and Action items contained in the 2002 Comprehensive Plan to be
applicable to this application (analysis is in italics below policy):
. "Develop and maintain greenbelts along waterways."- (Chapter V, Goa11,
Objective A, Action item 4)
The applicant is proposing to leave the North Slough open abutting this
site. In accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. the applicant is
proposing to construct a Multi-Use Pathway along the slough and
throughout the development, thereby enhancing the natural features and
the development.
T.
· "Require new residential development to meet development standards
regarding landscaping, signage, fences and walls, etc." (Chapter VII, Goal
I, Objective C, Action item 4)
If the applicant complies with the conditions in this report, the
development will meet the standards for landscaping, signage, fences and
walls outlined in City Code.
. "Require usesbIe open space to be incoIporated into new residential
subdivision plats." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action item 3)
The applicant is proposing to set aside approximatel~ 8 percent of the site
as open space.
In addition. in the applicant's letter (from Shari Stiles) other
Comprehensive Plan policies are listed supporting the annexation and
proposed residential use of the property. Citv CouncU finds that if the
aDDlleant comDlies with the conditions included in this reDO". the
overall design of the subdivision would be in Heneral con(ormance with
the Citv of Meridian COIIIDrehensive Pltm.
B. Is the area included in the ZORing amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
Concurrent with the annexation and zoning application, the applicant has
submitted a preliminary plat proposing single-family lots on the subject site
(Zebulon Heights No. 2 Subdivision, PP-05-008). City Council does not
anticipate that the applicant plans to rezone the subject property in the future if the
accompanying CUP and PP applications are approved.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the Dew zORing -for example, a
residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
City Council finds that the proposed singh~-fami1y development could be allowed
within the requested R-4 zone, if the accompanying Conditional Use Pennit for a
Planned Development is also approved.
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new .
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion simllar to the proposed rezone area;
City COlUlcil finds that other properties in the area have been developed in a
manner similar to the proposed subdivision, with single-family dwelling units.
.,
Austin Creek Subdivision to the north and Madison Park Subdivision to the east
have gross densities of approximately 4 dwelling units per acre. Heritage
Subdivision to the south has a residential density of approximately 1 dwelling unit
per acre while Settlement Bridge Subdivision has a density of 3.7 dwelling units
per acre.
There have been no recent street improvements in the area. This section of
McMillan Road abutting the site is in ACHD's Capital Improvements Plan (eIP)
for road widening in 2015. Locust Grove Road in this area is not currently
scheduled within ACHD's Five Year Work Program or Capital hnprovements
Plan (CIP) for roadway widening. Other urban services, such as sewer and water,
are near to this site and the applicant should be able to extend such services to the
site. City Council finds that the subject site is proposed for development in a
fashion similar to other properties in the area.
E. . Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated. and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate ill appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
City Council finds that the requested zoning and proposed density is within the
anticipated range for a lower density urban project. Further, based on the
Comprehensive Plan, City Council believes that some of the existing large county
parcels in the area (south and east) will redevelop with similar densities in the
near future. City Council also finds that the proposed zoning/uses can be designed
and constructed in a manner that will be harmonious with. and appropriate in
appearance with, the existing and intended character of the surrounding area. The
existing character of the area will, and is, currently changing, especially upon
build-out of the proposed project and other similar subdivisions in the general
vicinity. .
F. Will the proposed. uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
The applicant has submitted seventeen (17) front elevations for the proposed
dwelling units. City Council believes that the design of the dwelling units will be
compatible with the adjoining uses, if the buildings are constructed as shown on
the submitted elevations. City Council does not anticipate that the proposed
residential uses will be disturbing or hazardous to existing or :future uses as long
as the conditions outlined in this report are complied with and house construction
is conducted in a manner consistent with City Code.
G. Will the afea be served. adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, pollee and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or tbat the penon responsible for the
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
Pennanent sanitary sewer service to this development is to be provided by the
Wldeveloped North Slough Trunk. Temporarily sewer service will be provided by
the Lift Station serving Vienna Woods Subdivision. At this time sewer does not
exist at the location the applicant has shown on the preliminary plat. The applicant
will be responsible for the extension of utilities to and through this proposed
development. Sizing and routing shall be coordinated with the Public Works
Department. If this application is approved, it shall be subject to availability of the
sanitary sewer. The applicant shall also be responsible for any upgrades to the lift.
station that may be necessary to increase the capacity to handle this development.
Water service shall be from extensions of the existing main in E. McMillan Road,
and the future phase of Settlement Bridge.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and
highway impact fees.
On March 9, 2005, ACHD approved this development with site-specific and
standard conditions. The applicant should comply with all requirements of the
ACHD. Please review the ACHD report for additional infonnation regarding this
finding.
On February 25, 2005, a joint agency/department comments'meeting was held
with representatives of key service providers to this property. Based on the joint
agency/department meeting and other comments received from
agencies/departments, City Council finds that the public services listed above can
be made available to acconunodate the proposed development.
H. Will not create excessive addition~d requirements at public cost for public
facilities and serviees and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, local
street infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The
primary public costs to serve the future residents will be fire, police, school
facilities and services. City Council finds there will not be excessive additional
requirements at public cost and that the proposed annexation and zoning will not
be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
I. Will the proposed uses not Involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
~-
According to the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) prepared by Washington Group
International the proposed project is anticipated to generate 2,368 (including the
office portion approved in Boise City). City Council recognizes that traffic and
noise will increase with the approval of this subdivision; however, City Council
does not believe that the amount geOl::rated will be detrimental to the general
welfare of the public. City Council does not anticipate the proposed annexation
and subsequent uses will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors.
City Council finds that the proposed residential zoning/uses will not be
detrimental to people, property or the general welfare of the area.
J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shaH be so
designed as not to create an interferenee with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
The applicant is proposing to construct one public street entrance into the site
from McMillan Road and extend two other stubs streets from the east. The
extension of Rochester Drive from Madison Park Subdivision and Wainwright
Drive from Zebulon Heights Subdivision No. I will cause traffic volumes on the ,
existing portions of the streets to increase. However, the increase in vo1wne is
within ACHD acceptable range for local/commercial/collector streets. Please
review the ACHD report for this project for additional information regarding this
finding. If the proposed vehicular approaches (streets) are approved. and accepted
by ACHD, City Council does not believe that the subdivision will create
interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets.
K. Will not result In the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
City Council finds that there are some existing trees and other mature landscaping
on this site. Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are removed shall be
mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance (MCC 12-13-13). The applicant
should work with the City Arborist, Elroy Huff, on designing and implementing a
protection plan. If any trees are deemed to be a hazard, diseased or dying by the
City Arborist, prior to removal, mitigation will not be required for those trees.
The applicant is proposing to leave the North Slough open abutting the site. City
Council believes that the North Slough is a scenic feature that should be
protected.
City Council finds that the proposed annexation and zoning should not result in
the loss or damage of any natural or scenic features, as long as the existing trees
are protected/mitigated and the North Slough is relocated and protected in manner
that does not negatively impact its beauty. City Council is not aware of any
natural or scenic feature(s) that would be lost, damaged or destroyed by allowing
this site to be annexed. zoned and developed with residential uses.

L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
~er.idian.(()rd.592,11-17-1991)?
The legal description submitted with the application, prepared by Idaho Survey
Group, Inc., shows that the property is contiguous to the existing corporate
boundary of the City of Meridian. The land directly west of the subject property
was previously annexed into the City and this is a logical expansion ofthe City
bOWldary. City Council finds that all essential services are available or will be
provided by the developer to the subject property and will not require .
unreasonable expenditure of public funds. The applicant is proposing to develop
the land in substantial compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. In
accordance with the findings listed above, City Council finds that the
annexationlzoninJ! of this prooerty would be in the best interest of the City.
