E. Physical Features:
1. Canals/Ditches Irrigation: The Ridenbaugh canal runs along the southern boundary of this
site and the Kennedy canal runs north/south on the east portion of the site.
2. Hazards: NA
3. Flood Plain: This property does not lie within the floodplain or flood way.
VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
CITY OF MERIDIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS:
EXISTING:
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) contained in the Comprehensive Plan currently designates the
western 21+/- acres of site as Medium Density Residential (MDR) and the eastern 11+/- acres as
Mixed Use -Neighborhood (MU-N) with a Neighborhood Center (N.C.) Overlay.
The MDR designation allows smaller lots for residential purposes within City limits. Uses typically
include single-family homes at densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre (pg. 20).
The purpose of the MU-N designation is to assign areas where neighborhood-serving uses and
dwellings are seamlessly integrated into the urban fabric. The intent is to avoid predominantly single-
Red Wing Subdivision MDA-13-002; RZ-13-002; PP-13-003
PAGE 4
EXHIBIT A
use developments by incorporating a variety of uses. Land uses in these areas should be primarily
residential with supporting non-residential services. Non-residential uses in these areas tend to be
smaller scale and provide a good or service that people typically do not travel far for and need
regularly. Employment opportunities for those living in the neighborhood are encouraged.
Connectivity and access between the non-residential and residential land uses is critical in MU-N
areas. Tree-lined, narrow streets are encouraged. Developments are also encouraged to be designed
according to the conceptual MU-N plan depicted in Figure 3-1 of the Comprehensive Plan (see pgs.
24-27).
PROPOSED:
A Future Land Use Map Amendment, CPAM-12-005 request is scheduled to be heard by the City
Council on February 19, 2013; the Commission recommended approval of the CPAM request on
January 17, 2013. This request was approved by City Council on March S, 2013.
The applicant proposes to change the FLUM designation on the western 16.32+/- acres of the site
from MDR to Medium High Density Residential (MHDR). The designation on the eastern 10.77+/-
acres is proposed to change from MU-N with a N.C. overlay to MDR making the total area of the
MDR designated area16.55+/- acres (a portion of the site is already designated MDR and will stay as
such).
The MHDR designation allows for the development of a mix of relatively dense residential housing
types including townhomes, condominiums and apartments. Residential gross densities should range
from 8 to 15 dwelling units per acre, with a target density of 12 units per acre. These are relatively
compact areas within the context of larger neighborhoods and are typically located around or near
mixed use commercial or employment areas to provide convenient access to services and jobs for
residents. Developments need to incorporate high quality architectural design and materials and
thoughtful site design to ensure quality of place and should also incorporate connectivity with
adjacent uses and area pathways, attractive landscaping and individual project identity (pgs. 20-21).
The MDR designation allows smaller lots for residential purposes within City limits. Uses may
include single-family homes at densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre (pg. 20).
The applicant proposes to develop the western portion of the site with an apartment complex
consisting of 215-228 units resulting in a gross density of 15 dwelling units per acre with a clubhouse
and supporting amenities (see Exhibit A.5). The eastern portion of the site is proposed to develop
with 48 single-family residential building lots resulting in a gross density of 3 dwelling units per acre.
Staff is of the opinion the density proposed by the applicant is consistent with the FLUM designations
requested.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to
the proposed use (staff analysis in italics):
• "Require landscape street buffers for new development along all entryway corridors." (2.01.02E,
pg. 13)
A 35 foot wide landscape buffer will be required along S. Meridian Road, an entryway corridor
in accord with the standards listed in UDC I1-3B-7C Landscape Buffers along Streets.
"Use the Comprehensive Plan, the Unified Development Code, and the Design Manual to
discourage strip development, and encourage clustered, landscaped business or residential
development on entryway corridors." (2.01.02D, pg. 13)
Red Wing Subdivision MDA-13-002; RZ-13-002; PP-13-003
PAGE 5
EXHIBIT A
Future development of this site adjacent to Meridian Road, an entryway corridor, is required to
comply with UDC landscape and design standards and design guidelines in the Design Manual
in accord with the Comprehensive Plan.
• "Provide for a wide diversity of housing types (single-family, modular, mobile homes and multi-
family arrangements) and choices between ownership and rental dwelling units for all income
groups in a variety of locations suitable for residential development." (3.07.03B, pg. 56)
The future development of single family and multi family residential uses on this site will provide
ownership and rental options for individuals with varying income levels.
"Locate high-density development, where possible, near open space corridors or other permanent
major open space and park facilities, Old Town, and near major access thoroughfares." (3.07.02,
pg. 55)
An apartment complex is proposed on the corner of S. Meridian Road, an entryway corridor, and
E. Victory Road, an arterial street. The Ridenbaugh Canal runs along the southern boundary of
the site which will be developed as an open space corridor and will contain a section of the City's
multi-use pathway system.
• "Provide a walkable community through good design." (2.O1.OlA, pg.l3)
VIII. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT MODIFICATION (MDA): The applicant proposes to amend the
existing development agreement (DA) for the overall Cavanaugh property to remove the subject
property from the agreement and enter into a new DA with the City for the subject property (see
Exhibits A.1, A.2, and B).
The reason for the request is that ownership of the property has changed. The previous
development (Cavanaugh Subdivision) consisted of 177+/- acres and went through bankruptcy
proceedings; the property is now owned by several different entities.
Staff supports the applicant's request to remove the subject property from the existing Cavanaugh
DA and enter into a new DA concurrent with the rezone process.
REZONE (RZ): The applicant proposes to rezone 32.87 acres of land from the C-N
(Neighborhood Commercial) and TN-C (Traditional Neighborhood Center) zoning districts to the
R-4 (16.55 acres) and R-15 (16.32 acres) zoning districts.
A conceptual development plan is shown on the landscape plan in Exhibit A.S. The applicant
plans to develop the R-15, western portion of the site with an apartment complex consisting of
228 dwelling units and the R-4, eastern portion of the site with 48 single-family residences.
Development Agreement: The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction
with a rezone pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. To ensure the site develops consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan, conceptual development plan, and preliminary plat, staff
recommends a DA is required as a provision of the rezone. Staff's recommended DA provisions
are included in Exhibit B.
The proposed zoning designations and densities are consistent with the proposed changes to the
FLUM noted above in Section VII. Therefore, staff is supportive of the rezone request.
Red Wing Subdivision MDA-13-002; RZ-13-002; PP-13-003
PAGE 6
EXHIBIT A
PRELIMINARY PLAT (PP): The proposed preliminary plat consists of 48 single-family residential
building lots, lmulti-family residential lot, and 9 common open space lots on 31.11 acres of land
in the proposed R-4 and R-15 zoning districts.
Dimensional Standards: The proposed plat and future development is required to comply with
the dimensional standards of the R-4 and R-15 zoning districts listed in UDC Tables 11-2A-5 and
11-2A7 respectively. Staff has reviewed the proposed plat and found several line and chord
segment dimensions to be missing and some lots (L9 & L 10, B2 and L24, B 1) that don't meet the
minimum street frontage requirements. Also, street knuckles are required to be separated from
through traffic by a landscape island, per UDC 11-2A-3; landscape islands are not depicted on the
plan. The final plat(s) will need to comply with the dimensional standards of the applicable
district in effect at the time of final plat application submittal. Note: Staff is currently in the
process of proposing a text amendment to the UDC that may remove the requirement for street
knuckles to be separated from traffic by a landscape island.
Access: Two accesses are depicted on the plat via E. Victory Road and one access is depicted to
the east to eventually connect to the collector street planned to be constructed on the adjacent
property. No access via Meridian Road (SH 69) is proposed.
Because this site lies on the corner of a state highway (SH 69/Meridian Road) and an arterial
street (Victory Road), access to the site is restricted. The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD)
and UDC 11-3H-4B prohibits access to SH 69/Meridian Road; UDC 11-3A-3 limits access to
arterial and collector streets; and the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) limits access to
Victory Road.
Access to a local street is not available to this property. Therefore, an access to Victory Road is
needed. However, the applicant is proposing two access points to Victory Road. The applicant is
requesting a waiver of City Code from City Council for the proposed access points to Victory
Road. Approval for any/all access to Victory shall also be obtained from ACRD. In accord with
UDC 11-3A-3, staff recommends only one access via Victory Road is approved.
Multi-Use Pathway: Amulti-use pathway is required to be constructed on this site along S.
Meridian Road (SH 69) within a public use easement in accord with UDC 11-3H-4C.4. A multi-
use pathway is depicted on the landscape plan. The developer is required to submit a public use
easement for the pathway to the Planning Division of the Community Development Department
for approval by City Council prior to signature on the final plat.
Noise Abatement: Noise abatement in the form of a berm or berm and wall combination is
required for residential uses along state highways, per UDC 11-3H-4D. The landscape plan
depicts a berm adjacent to S. Meridian Road (SH 69). The applicant should submit across-section
of the berm (or berm/wall combination) in relation to the centerline of SH 69 demonstrating
compliance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3H-4D.
Landscaping: A 35-foot wide landscape street buffer is required along S. Meridian Road (SH
69), an arterial street & entryway corridor; a 35-foot wide buffer is shown on the landscape plan
in accord with this requirement. A 25-foot wide landscape street buffer is required along E.
Victory Road, an arterial street; a 25-foot wide buffer is proposed on the multi-family portion of
the site and a 30-foot wide buffer is proposed on the single-family portion of the site in accord
with this requirement. The property does not abut the future collector street to the east; therefore,
a street buffer is not required to be provided on this site. Landscaping is required in accord with
the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C; the proposed landscape plan complies with these
standards.
Common Open Space & Site Amenities: All single-family and multi-family developments over
5 acres in size are required to provide open space & site amenities in accord with the standards
Red Wing Subdivision MDA-13-002; RZ-13-002; PP-13-003
PAGE 7
EXHIBIT A
listed in UDC 11-3G-3. A minimum of 10% qualified open space is required to be provided for
the development in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3B. Based on 15.9 acres for
the single-family portion of the development, a minimum of 1.59 acres of qualified open space is
required. The plat depicts 1.82 acres of common area; however, it does not appear to meet the
"qualified" open space requirements as set forth in UDC 11-3G-3B. Prior to the City Council
meeting, the applicant should submit revised plans showing compliance with this standard
(or calculations detailing how the current plan meets these requirements).
Development area under 20 acres in size is required to provide a minimum of one site amenity.
The applicant proposes a seating and picnic area as an amenity in the single-family portion.
Open space and amenity requirements for the multi-family portion of this project will be
evaluated with the future Conditional Use Permit and/or Certificate of Zoning
Compliance/Design Review.
Sidewalks: Afive-foot wide detached sidewalk is required to be constructed along E. Victory
Road as shown on the landscape plan in accord with UDC 11-3A-17. In addition to the sidewalk,
the applicant is proposing to enter into a developer cooperative with ACHD to widen Victory
Road to 3-lanes and build curb, gutter and sidewalk. The applicant is proposing to be reimbursed
for the impact fee eligible portion of the roadway widening work with future impact fee credits.
Fencing: Fencing appears to be depicted on the landscape plan; however, it is not labeled as such
nor is the type (materials, height) of fencing shown. Fencing is required adjacent to the
Ridenbaugh Canal located along the southern boundary of the site as set forth in UDC 11-3A-6B,
unless the canal is improved as part of the development to be a water amenity. Fencing adjacent
to all pathways and common open space is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC
11-3A-7.
Waterways: The Ridenbaugh Canal lies off-site along the southern boundary of this site. The
irrigation district's access road for the canal lies on the subject property.
Building Elevations: Conceptual building elevations for the multi-family and single-family
structures are included in Exhibit A.6. Final design of the multi-family structures will be required
to comply with the design standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19 and the guidelines contained in the
Design Manual. Staff has no objections to the conceptual elevations as they appear to be of
quality material and design.
Staff is supportive of the proposed development agreement modification, rezone and preliminary
plat with the comments noted above and the conditions listed in Exhibit B.

Re: RZ 13-002 and PP 13-003 Red Wing
The Idaho Transportation Department has reviewed the referenced rezone and preliminary plat
for the Red Wing project site on Victory Road near SH-69 (Meridian Road). ITD has the
following comments:
1) ITD has no objection to a local jurisdiction's changes to a land use plan. The proposed
change to the comprehensive plan requires no ITD-related mitigation.
2) ITD has an access management plan for SH-69 (Meridian Road). The plan does not
include any access to SH-69 between Victory Road and Hams Street. The applicant's site
does not appear to affect ITD's access management plans.
3} The proposed change in land use is a net reduction in site-generated trip volume that has an
important impact on the regional roadway system. The conversion from employment /
commercial center to residential development separates homes from employment
opportunities and increases the average journey-to-work and home-to-shopping trip
distance. Although this project is relatively small, the cumulative impact of such
rezone/comprehensive plan changes will certainly increase regional travel demand and
necessitate additional investment in the transportation system. These incremental changes
to the deveompment plans incur a regional cost to expand the roadway netwocic. This site's
location on the regional highway system could have provided some benefit in improving
accessibility and reducing both travel distance and the number of trips.
If you have any questions, you may contact Matt Ward at 334-8341 or me at 334-8377.

C. Required Findings from Unified Development Code
1. Rezone Findings:
Upon recommendation from the Commission, the Council shall make a full investigation
and shall, at the public hearing, review the application. In order to grant a rezone, the
Council shall make the following findings:
a. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive
Plan;
The Applicant is proposing to rezone the subject property to the R-4 and R-15 zoning
districts. The City Council finds that the proposed map amendment (zoning) is generally
consistent with the proposed MDR and MHDR land use designations for this site and the rest
of Cavanaugh development to the south and east of the site. Therefore, the City Council
finds the amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan
(see section VII above).
b. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district,
specifically the purpose statement;
The City Council finds that the proposed map amendment to the R-4 and R-15 zoning
districts and proposed single-family and multi-family residential development of the property
is generally consistent with the purpose statement of the residential district in that it will
provide for a range of housing opportunities.
c. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
and welfare;
The City Council finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare. City utilities will be extended at the expense of the applicant.
d. The map amendment shall not result in an adverse impact upon the delivery of services
by any political subdivision providing public services within the City including, but not
limited to, school districts; and
The City Council finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not result in any adverse
impact upon the delivery of services by any political subdivision providing services to this
site.
e. The annexation (as applicable) is in the best of interest of the City (UDC 11-SB-3.E).
Because the subject request is for a rezone, the City Council finds this finding is not
applicable.
2. Preliminary Plat Findings:
In consideration of a preliminary plat, combined preliminary and final plat, or short
plat, the decision-making body shall make the following findings:
a. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;
The City Council finds that the proposed plat is in substantial compliance with the
adopted and proposed Comprehensive Plan in regard to land use, transportation, and

development. (See Exhibit B of the Staff Report for more details from public service
providers.)
c. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the
City's capital improvement program;
Because City water and sewer and any other utilities will be provided by the development
at their own cost, the City Council finds that the subdivision will not require the
expenditure of capital improvement funds.
d. There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Based on comments from the public service providers (i.e., Police, Fire, ACHD, etc.), the
City Council finds there is public financial capability of supporting services for the
proposed development. (See Exhibit B for more detail.)
e. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general
welfare; and
