VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
This property is designated "Low Density Residential" (LDR) on the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Map (FLUM). The LDR designation allows larger lots where urban services are provided.
Uses may include single-family homes at densities of three (3) dwelling units or less per acre. The
subject property is currently zoned R-4.The Unified Development Code (UDC) allows a maximum of
4 dwelling units to the acre. The proposed project includes 43 residential lots on 16.13 acres for a
gross density of 2.67dwelling units/acre consistent with the density of the Comprehensive Plan and
the UDC.
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):
• Require new residential development to meet development standards regarding landscaping,
signage, fences and walls, etc.
Street buffer landscaping is required adjacent to E. Victory Road, an arterial street, in
accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C as shown on the landscape plan. Separate
permits shall be obtained for signage and fencing. Fencing shall comply with the standards
listed in UDC I1-3A-7. Prior to construction on the site, temporary fencing will be required
to keep debris from impacting adjacent properties.
• Require common areas for all subdivisions (Chapter 3, pg. 54)
The UDC requires a minimum of 10 percent open space to be provided with the proposed
subdivision. The applicant is proposing 1.84 of an acre (or 11.37%) of open space. However,
some of the proposed open space lots are not eligible as qualifying open space as set forth in
UDC I1-3G-3B. Based on staff's calculations the applicant is providing 9.3% or 1.51 acres
of qual~ing open space. The qual~ing open space includes SO% width of the arterial street
buffers (Lotl, Block 1), a central open space lot (Lot 18, Block 3), a pond lot (Lot 8, Block 1),
and a passive open space lot (Lot 15, Block 1). With the ftnal plat submittal, the applicant
must submit a revised landscape demonstrating compliance with the open space requirements
outlined in UDC 11-3G-3B.
• Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of
final approval and development is contiguous to the City. (Chapter 3, pg. 45)
City services will be extended with the development of the site. The applicant must stub City
utilities to the outparcel #83193250035.
Karmelle Subdivision - PP-12-014 PAGE 3
• Support a variety of residential categories (low-, medium-, and high-density single family,
multi-family, townhouses, duplexes, apartments, condominiums, etc.) for the purpose of
providing the City with a range of affordable housing opportunities (Chapter 3, page 55).
The proposed preliminary plat reflects a gross density of 2.67 dwelling units per acre, within
the target density of the Low Density Residential (LDR) designation of 3 units dwelling units
or less per acre. The surrounding property is also designate LDR.
• Require usable open space to be incorporated into new residential subdivision plats (Chapter
3, page 54).
The applicant is proposing a central open space lot (0.74 acres) that will house a children's
play structure. Additionally, a sitting area is also proposed fora 7,296 square foot common
lot west of the central open space lot. These lots combined provide 0.93 acres of usable open
space.
• Require street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance connectivity
and better traffic flow (Chapter 3, page 48).
The proposed plat depicts two (2) stub streets for future interconnectivity to the property to
the east. The main entrance for the subdivision will be from Victory Road with secondary
street connection to E. Falcon Drive along the south boundary of the proposed subdivision.
• Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent
parcels (Chapter 3, page 53).
The subject property is primarily surrounded by rural residential property, zoned RUT in
Ada County. The Future Land Use Map designates the subject property & adjacent
properties LDR. Staff is of the opinion the proposed single family detached residences should
be compatible with existing residential uses in the area.
After considering all of these factors staff believes that the proposed development is generally
consistent with comprehensive plan.
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC)
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. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 11-2A-21ists the principal permitted
(P), accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the R-4 zoning district. Any use not
explicitly listed, or listed as a prohibited use is prohibited. The proposed use of the property for
single-family detached dwellings is a principally permitted use in the R-4 zoning district.
C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site should be consistent with the dimensional
standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-5 for the R-4 zoning district.
D. Landscaping: Street buffer landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the standards listed
in UDC Table 11-2A-5 for the R-4 zoning district.
E. Off-Street Parking: Off-street parking is required in accord with UDC Table 11-3C-6 for single-
family dwellings.
IX. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
Karmelle Subdivision - PP-12-014 PAGE 4
Preliminary Plat
The applicant requests preliminary plat approval of 43 residential lots and 12 common lots on
16.18 acres of land. The minimum lot size proposed with the plat is 8,995 square feet and the
average lot size is 10,600 square feet. The gross density for the proposed subdivision is 2.67
dwelling units to the acre. This density is consistent to what is developed in the area and complies
with the maximum of four (4) dwelling units to the acre in the R-4 zone.
Dimensional Standards: All of the proposed lots must comply with the R-4 dimensional
standards established in the UDC. Staff has reviewed the proposed plat for compliance with the
dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-5 for the R-4 district and finds the plat in
compliance with said standards.
Access: Access to this site is proposed on the plat via S. Victory Road and (2) stub streets are
shown along the east boundary for future interconnectivity. Secondary public street access to the
proposed subdivision is from Falcon Drive which is along the south boundary and connects to S.
Eagle Road.
Waterways: The McDonald Lateral bisects the proposed subdivision. The submitted plans
indicate this ditch is to be tiled and relocated consistent with UDC 11-3A-6. The applicant must
obtain approval of said improvements from the Boise Project Board of Control.
Open Space/Amenities: A minimum of 10% open space is required in accord with UDC 11-3G-
3A. Qualifying open space is defined in UDC 11-3G-3B. The site consists of 16.18 acres, thus a
minimum of 1.61 acres of qualified open space is required to be provided. The preliminary plat
data indicates there is 1.84 acres of open space proposed with this plat; however several of the
common open space lots do not qualify as open space. The submitted plat has 1.51 acres (9.3%)
of qualifying open space. With the final plat submittal, the applicant must submit a revised
landscape demonstrating compliance with the open space requirements outlined in UDC 11-
3G-3B. The applicant must provide at minimum 0.10 of an acre more open space.
In accord with UDC 11-3G-3A.2, a minimum of one (1) site amenity is required to be provided
with this development as defined in UDC 11-3G-3C. The applicant proposes to construct two
amenities: a children's play structure in Lot 18, Block 3 and sitting area in Lot 15, Block 1. The
proposed plat complies with the amenity requirements in the UDC.
Landscaping: A landscape plan was submitted with this application as shown in Exhibit A.3.
The proposed landscape plan substantially complies with landscape ordinance. However, the
submitted plan excludes the landscape details for Lot 22, Block 3. With the final plat submittal
the applicant must include the landscape details for said lot.
Sidewalks: UDC 11-3A-17 requires 5-foot detached sidewalks along E, Victory Road.
Additionally, 5-foot attached sidewalks are required along all of the internal local streets. Lots 26
and 27, Block 3 front on E. Falcon Drive. The submitted plans do not reflect the required
improvements along the street frontage. In discussions with the applicant, ACRD will be
requiring said improvements consistent with both ACHD standards and the UDC. However, an
outparcel (parcel #83193250035) exists along this segment of roadway (west of lots 26 and 27)
and was annexed into the City with the Harcourt Subdivision which has expired. Because this
parcel is not part of the application staff cannot require the completion of the sidewalk
improvements abutting the outparcel. As a sign of good faith, staff encourages the applicant
complete the frontage improvements so there is a complete sidewalk connection for the proposed
subdivision.
Fencing: No fencing is shown on the submitted plans. A detailed fencing plan should be
submitted upon application for final plat approval. If permanent fencing is not provided before
Karmelle Subdivision - PP-12-014 PAGE 5
issuance of a building permit, temporary construction fencing to contain debris must be installed
around the perimeter. Perimeter and common open space fencing must be designed as set forth in
UDC 11-3A-7.
Existing Structures: Originally, this property was platted as Golden Eagle Estates with 5 acre
lots in the County. The homes and out buildings constructed on these lots still exist. The
submitted plans indicate that buildings are to be demolished. Since the applicant is not proposing
to phase the project, staff is of the opinion that said structures should be removed and all wells
and septic systems abandoned per the applicable regulatory standards. Prior to City Engineer's
signature on the final plat, the abandonment must occur and evidence signifying approval from
the applicable regulatory authority must be submitted.
Further, the applicant is proposing to plat around one existing home located on the northwest
corner of proposed S. Cullen Way and E. Falcon Drive. This property is not part of the proposed
development. As mentioned earlier, the property was annexed into the City in 2006. Since the
property is not part of the subdivision application, the City cannot require the home to connect to
City services. The applicant can volunteer to connect the existing home to city services with the
property owners consent. The applicant is still responsible to stub utilities to the property for
future connection.
Since this property is surrounded by the proposed development, staff is unsure how the
development will impact the well and septic system of the existing home. Staff encourages the
applicant coordinate with the property owner to verify the location of the adjacent well and septic
field to ensure the private utilities will not be affected by the proposed design of the development.
Additionally, staff has been informed by one of the adjacent home owners (parcel
#83193250014) that the irrigation pump is located the applicant's property and is still being used.
The applicant will be responsible for coordinating with the adjacent homeowner to ensure
adequate surface water is being provided in accord with State Statute.
Existing Easements: As mentioned earlier this property was originally platted as Golden Eagle
Estates Subdivision. With the platting of the property, utility easements were established along
the lot boundaries. These platted easements impact several of the proposed buildable lots and
must be vacated. Prior to signature on the final plat, the applicant must obtain approval of a
vacation application.
Elevations: The applicant has submitted sample photos that depict the style of homes planned for
the proposed subdivision. The proposed homes depict a mix of building materials (lap siding,
cedar shake siding, stucco and board and batten siding) and stone wainscot. The design features
staff supports is the substantial pillars, covered porches and mix of gable and hip roofs and a mix
of building materials. Staff is of the opinion the future homes will complement the existing homes
in the area and demonstrate high quality materials.
In summary, Staff recommends approval of the proposed preliminary plat request for this site
with the recommended conditions listed in Exhibit B of this report in accord with the findings
contained in Exhibit C.

In consideration of a preliminary plat, combined preliminary and final plat, or short plat,
the Council shall make the following findings:
A. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and is consistent with this
unified development code;
The Commission finds that the proposed plat generally complies with the comprehensive
plan and is consistent with the UDC. The Commission finds the proposed plat comports
to the dimensional standards of the R-4 zoning district and the subdivision regulations set
forth in the UDC (please see Section 7 and Section 9 of the Staff Report for detailed
analysis that apply to this development).
B. Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to
accommodate the proposed development;
The Commission finds that services can be made available to accommodate the proposed
development.
C. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the
City's capital improvement program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, and utilities for the development at their
cost, the Commission .finds that the subdivisions will not require the .expenditure of
capital improvement funds.
D. There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments from the public
service providers (i.e., police, fire, ACRD, etc.) to determine this finding.
E. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general
welfare; and
The Commission is not aware of any health, safety or environmental problems associated
with the development of the subdivision that should be brought to the Council's attention.
ACRD considers road safety issues in their analysis. The Commission recommends that
the Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to determine whether
or not the proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or environmental problems of
which Commission and staff are unaware.
F. The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features.
The Commission is unaware of any natural, scenic or historic features on this site.
Therefore, the Commission finds that the proposed development will not result in the
destruction, loss or damage of any natural, scenic or historic feature(s) of major
importance. The Council should reference any public testimony that may be presented to
determine whether or not the proposed development may destroy or damage a natural or
scenic feature(s) of major importance of which Commission and staff are unaware.
