Larkspur Subdivision No. 4 -VAC-12-003 Page 1

B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: The subject property is
surrounded by either planned or existing residential development. The majority of the
surrounding properties are zoned R-8. One parcel is zoned RUT in Ada County.
C. History of Previous Actions:
• The City Council approved the annexation (AZ-06-049) and the preliminary plat (PP-06-051)
for Larkspur South Subdivision on January 9, 2007. The approved preliminary plat consists
of 60 single-family residential building lots and 6 common lots on 12.81 acres of land. A
condition of the approved plat requires the extension of Edmonds Court and vacating the
surplus right-of--way.
• In 2010, the applicant obtained approval of the first phase of the Larkspur South Subdivision
(FP-10-006). This phase developed with 22 residential lots and 1 common lot on 3.79 acres.

VII. AGENCY COMMENTS MEETING
No comments were received by the Planning Department from other City departments for the
subject application. Please see the public record for the VAC file for any written comments that
may have been submitted by other agencies.
VIII. ANALYSIS
Analysis Leading to Staff Recommendation:
The applicant requests approval to vacate a portion of the existing right-of--way (0.11 acres)
platted with Edmonds Subdivision. Edmonds Court is currently adead-end cul-de-sac which is
proposed to be extended with Larkspur Subdivision No. 4 scheduled in conjunction with this
application. The future extension of this roadway has resulted in surplus of right-of way that is
not required for any future road access and needs to be vacated (see Exhibit A.2). A condition of
approval for the Larkspur South Subdivision also requires vacating the right-of--way and
extending the roadway. The surplus right-of--way is to be deeded back to the abutting property
owners in exchange for the right-of--way being dedicated via the new plat. In order for ACHD to
act on the applicant's request to vacate the existing right-of--way, ACHD must receive a
recommendation for approval (consent) from the City Council. Since the applicant is complying
with the requirements of the approved plat, staff recommends approval of the vacation as
proposed in Exhibit A.3.
