VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
This property is designated "Medium Density Residential" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Map. This designation allows smaller lots for residential purposes within the city limits. Uses
may include single-family homes at densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The proposed R-8
zoning district complies with the medium density residential designation for this property. The
planned assisted living facility is a conditional use in the proposed R-8 zoning district.
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
A. Purpose Statement of Zone: Per UDC 11-2A-1, the purpose of the residential districts is to
provide for a range of housing opportunities consistent with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan.
Residential districts are distinguished by the allowable density of dwelling units per acre and
corresponding housing types that can be accommodated within the density range.
B. Zoning Schedule of Use Control (UDC 11-2A): The anticipated assisted living facility is
considered a "nursing or residential care facility" per the Unified Development Code and as such,
is a conditional use in the proposed R-8 zoning district.
IX. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
The request is for a modification to the Development Agreement (DA) to extend the time period
allowed for the applicant to sign the agreement.
Since the property received annexation and zoning approval from City Council, the property
owner has been in negotiations with potential buyers for the property. The applicant's reason for
annexing and zoning the property is to make it marketable for the development of an assisted
living facility. A conceptual site plan for such was approved with the annexation. He does not
wish to sign the DA and annex into the City until he has a buyer for the property. Thus, the
applicant requests a two year time extension to sign the agreement.
Staff recommends approval of the applicant's request.
