VI. LAND USE
A. Existing Land Use(s) and Zoning: This subject property consists of vacant agricultural land,
zoned R-8.
B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning:
1. North: Chinden Boulevard (SH 20/26) and Spurwing Golf Course, zoned RUT in Ada
County
2. East: Silverleaf Subdivision and County residence, zoned R-4 and RUT in Ada County
3. South: Silverleaf Subdivision, zoned R-4
4. West: N. Ten Mile Road and Agricultural land, zoned RUT
C. History of Previous Actions:
• In 2005, this property was annexed and zoned (AZ-OS-038) and preliminarily platted (PP-OS-
037) as the Irvine Subdivision. The plat consisted of 175 single-family residential lots and 12
common lots on 38.5 acres but has since expired. A conditional use permit (CUP-OS-039)
was submitted concurrently to allow reduced frontages, minimum lot sizes, zero side yard
setbacks and extended block lengths and later was withdrawn. A development agreement was
not required with the annexation of the property.
• A final plat (FP-06-029) for Irvine Subdivision No. 1 was approved in 2006 but was never
recorded.
• A time extension (TE-07-010) was approved by the Director in 2007.
• In 2008, aCouncil-review time extension (TE-08-017) was denied by the City Council
because the plat did not meet the 10% open space requirements in UDC 11-3G.
D. Utilities:
1. Public Works:
a. Location of sewer: This development lies within the North Black Cat service area.
However mains do not currently exist between the North Black Cat Trunk in Black Cat
Road and N. Ten Mile Road. Temporary service may be possible to the Silverleaf Lift
Station. Applicant would be required to verify capacity, and make any necessary
upgrades to accommodate this new development.
b. Location of water: Domestic water mains to provide service to this development exist
near the SW corner of the development in Ten Mile Road, as well as two existing stubs
into the property from adjacent developments. Applicant will be responsible to extend
mains to and through this proposed site.
c. Issues or concerns: None
E. Physical Features:
Canals/Ditches Irrigation: The Simpson Lateral bisects the property and should be tiled with
the development of the site.
2. Hazards: Staff is not aware of any hazards that exist on this property.
3. Flood Plain: This property does not lie within a floodplain or floodway.
Irvine PP-12-018 PAGE 3

VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
This property is designated Medium Density Residential (MDR) on the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Map (FLUM). 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.
The applicant proposes to develop the site with 145 single-family residential lots. The gross density
of the proposed plat is 3.77 dwelling units per acre which falls within the target density of the MDR
designation and below the R-8 district maximum density. Further, the proposed density is consistent
with the adjacent Silverleaf Subdivision which developed with a gross density of 3 dwelling units per
acre.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this application and the
proposed use of this property (staff analysis in italics):
• Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all public services.
(6.02.O1B, Chapter 6, page 84)
When the City established its Area of City Impact, it planned to provide City services to the
subject property. The City of Meridian currently provides municipal services to the subject
property in the following manner:
- The lands are currently being serviced by the Meridian Fire Department (MFD).
- The lands are currently being serviced by the Meridian Police Department (MPD).
- The roadways adjacent to the subject lands are currently owned and maintained by the Ada
County Highway District (ACHD). This service will not change.
- The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian School District #2. This service will
not change.
- The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian Library District. This service will
not change.
Municipal, fee-supported, services are available from the Meridian Building Department, the
Meridian Public Works Department, the Meridian Water Department, the Meridian Wastewater
Department, the Meridian Planning Department, Meridian Utility Billing Services, and Republic
Services.
• Require usable open space to be incorporated into new residential subdivision plats(3.07.02A,
Chapter 3, page 55)
The UDC (11-3G-3) requires a minimum of 10% qualified open space for the plat. The proposed
plat depicts 10.7% eligible open space (or 4.08 acres) which meets the requirements of the UDC.
Qualifying open space includes 1.52 acre park, a linear open space/green belt, and street buffers.
• "Provide housing options close to employment and shopping centers. (3.07.02D, Chapter 3, page
55)
The proposed residential development will provide housing opportunities in close proximity to a
proposed Walmart and an existing shopping center at the northeast corner of Chinden Boulevard
and Linder Road. Future employment uses are also planned within one mile southwest of this site.
• Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of
final approval and development is contiguous to the City (3.01.O1F, Chapter 3, page 45).
The subject property is within the City and urban services are available to be extended to the site.
• Encourage and promote the preservation and expansion of Chinden Boulevard (US 20/26) by ITD
(3.03.02L, Chapter 3, page 48).
Irvine PP-12-018 PAGE 4
EXHIBIT A
The applicant has coordinated with ITD on the preservation of right of way (ROW) along the
Chinden corridor. The total ROW needed for this segment of corridor is 140 feet. The submitted
plans depict the 30 feet of additional (70 feet total from centerline) ROW (see ITD's comments in
Exhibit B).
• Require street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance connectivity and
better traffic flow. (3.03.03C, Chapter 3, page 48)
Two stub streets developed with the adjacent Silverleaf Subdivision will be extended with the
development of the property. Further, the applicant is proposing stub streets to the Ada County
parcels located along the east and southwest boundaries.
• Require landscape street buffers for new development along all entryway corridors.(2.01.02E,
page 13)
A 35 foot wide landscape buffer will be required along N. Ten Mile Road and Chinden
Boulevard, both designated entryway corridors. These landscape buffers must be developed in
accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C Landscape Buffers along Streets.
• Support a variety of residential categories (low-, medium-, medium-high 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 54).
The subject property is designated medium density residential on the Comprehensive Plan. The
existing zoning is consistent with the land use designation. Further, the applicant intends to
develop the property with single family homes. The property is situated around the Silverleaf
Subdivision which is also developed with single family homes. The lots sizes proposed with
subdivision are comparable to the surrounding subdivision and so is the proposed gross density
of 3.77 dwelling units to the acre. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed subdivision does
provide a variety of housing choices and a range of affordability in the area.
For the above stated reasons, staff is of the opinion the proposed project is consistent with the goals
and objectives in the Comprehensive Plan.
VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC)
A. Purpose Statement of Zone(s): 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-2 lists the principal permitted
(P), accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the R-8 zoning district. Any use not
explicitly listed, or listed as a prohibited use is prohibited. The proposed use of the property for
single-family dwellings is a principal permitted use in the R-8 zoning district.
C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site must be consistent with the dimensional
standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district.
D. Landscaping: Street buffer landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the standards listed
in UDC Table 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district.
IX. ANALYSIS
A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
PRELIMINARY PLAT: The proposed preliminary plat consists of 145 residential building lots and
Irvine PP-12-018 PAGE 5
EXHIBIT A
12 common on 38.5 acres of land in an R-8 zoning district. The proposed gross density of the
subdivision is 3.77 dwelling units per acre consistent with the R-8 zoning district.
The plat is proposed to develop in 5 phases. A majority of the planned open space will develop
with the second phase. A recommended condition of approval requires the central park to be
constructed in accord with the phasing plan.
Dimensional Standards: Staff has reviewed the proposed plat for compliance with the applicable
standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district and all of the lots appear to
meet those standards. All lots must comport to the R-8 dimensional standards set forth in UDC
11-2A.
The minimum lot size proposed is 5,500 square feet with an average lot size of 6,700 square feet
consistent with the minimum R-8 district requirement of 5,000 square feet.
The UDC (11-6C-3F) does not allow block faces to be more than 750 feet in length without
an intersecting street or alley. The only exception is when the block design is constrained by
an abutting arterial street, limited access street, steep slopes, a large waterway and/or a
large irrigation facility. In such case, the City Council may approve a pedestrian connection
in lieu of a connecting street or alley. City Code does not allow for a waiver to the
pedestrian connection.
The north and south side of Block 8 and north side of Block 12exceed the maximum block
length requirements by approximately 2301inear feet. The portion of Block 12 is
constrained by a limited access street (Chinden Boulevard). In lieu of the public street
connection the applicant has provided the pedestrian connection. The UDC restricts access
to state facilities to the half-mile and mile marks. Given the conflict with requirement of the
ordinance, staff believes the proposed micropath adequately breaks up the block length.
The portion of Block 8 is not constrained however; the plat design includes a 1.5 acre park
to serve the development. A pedestrian connection is proposed that connects both the block
faces. Because the design of the this block is not constrained as described in the UDC above,
an intersecting street or alley is currently required. However, staff is contemplating
submitting a UDC text amendment to the block length requirements listed in UDC 11-6C-
3F. If this happens, the proposed block lengths may conform to the new standards.
However, if a UDC amendment is not approved, staff recommends development of the plat
comply with the block length standards in effect at the time of submittal of the first final plat
application.
Access: UDC 11-3A-3 limits access points to collector and arterial roadways. The main access to
the development is proposed from N. Ten Mile Road and no access is proposed from Chinden
Boulevard. The internal street layout provides adequate internal connectivity and extends existing
stubs streets from the south and east boundary. In addition, several stub streets are planned to the
Ada County parcels abutting the west and east boundary. Staff is supportive of the proposed
street layout.
Multi-Use Pathway: Amulti-use pathway is required to be constructed on this site along
Chinden Boulevard (SH 20/26) within a public use easement in accord with UDC 11-3H-4C.4. A
multi-use pathway is not depicted on the landscape plan. The applicant must amend the plan to
include a 10 foot pathway with a final plat application.
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 Chinden Boulevard (SH 20/26). The applicant should include on the
Irvine PP-12-018 PAGE 6
EXHIBIT A
revised landscape across-section of the berm (or berm/wall combination) in relation to the
centerline of SH 20/26 demonstrating compliance with the standards listed in UDC I1-3H-4D.
Landscaping: UDC 11-2A-6 requires a 35-foot wide street buffer along Chinden Boulevard
and N. Ten Mile Road. On the submitted plat, the applicant depicts a 45-foot wide common lot
adjacent to Chinden Boulevard and a 35-foot wide common lot adjacent to N. Ten Mile Road.
Although the buffer width along Chinden exceeds the minimum require by the UDC, the wider
lot is proposed to provide adequate buffering between the state highway and the single family
homes. For this reason, the plat has been conditioned to construct the 45-foot wide street buffer
as proposed. Said buffers must be constructed in accord with UDC 11-3B-7C and maintained
by the homeowners association.
Additional right-of--way (ROW) is being dedicated adjacent to N. Ten Mile Road and Chinden
Boulevard via the plat. If said ROW is not part of the road agencies 5 year work program, the
applicant is responsible for maintaining a 10-foot wide compacted shoulder and landscape the
remainder with lawn or other vegetative ground cover. The landscape improvement within the
ROW requires a license agreement with the transportation agency. The submitted landscape plan
complies with this requirement of the UDC.
Open Space: Per UDC 11-3G-3A, a minimum of 10% of the gross land area of the development
is required to be provided in common open space. Based on the total acreage of the proposed plat,
38.5 acres, a minimum of 3.85 acres open space is required to be provided on the site per UDC
11-3G-3A.1 in accord with the qualifications listed in UDC 11-3G-3B.
The plat depicts 10.7% (or 4.08 acres) of eligible open space in compliance with UDC standards.
Proposed open space consists of 1.5 acre central park, six (6) passive open space lots meeting or
exceeding the 50' x 100' square feet, 50% arterial street buffers and a micropath.
Site Amenities: Per UDC 11-3G-3A.2, one additional site amenity that meets the standards set
forth in UDC11-3G-3C is required for each additiona120 acres of development area. Based on the
total acreage of the proposed plat, 38.5 acres, a minimum of two (2) amenities are required to be
provided on this site. As amenities for the subdivision, the applicant is proposing a tot lot within
the central park which that includes a walking path, a sitting area and playground equipment to be
constructed with phase two. Staff recommends the applicant increase the usability of the park by
incorporating a covered picnic shelter. At the time of final plat submittal, the applicant shall
revise the landscape plan and include a detail of said amenities. Staff is amenable to the
development of the central park with second phase of development.
Waterways: Per UDC 11-3A-6A, all ditches, laterals, and canals within the site are required to
be piped or otherwise covered. The Simpson Lateral bisects the subject property and is to be
relocated and tiled with the development of the site. The easement area will be improved with a
linear open space to provide an attractive streetscape. Staff recommends the applicant install the
required street trees within the 10 foot parkway along the south side of W. Sunny Cove Street.
Fencing: The applicant has submitted a fence detail for the proposed subdivision. It appears the
proposed fence material is dog-eared cedar. All fencing must comply with the fencing standards
outlined in UDC 11-3A-7. The applicant shall depict fencing in accord with this requirement on
the landscape plan submitted with the final plat.
Sidewalks: The applicant is proposing to construct 5-foot wide attached sidewalks along all of
the internal/local streets except for the south side of W. Sunny Cove Street. The UDC requires 5-
foot wide detached sidewalks along N. Ten Mile Road. A mentioned above, a 10-foot pathway is
required along Chinden Boulevard.
Irvine PP-12-o18 PAGE 7
EXHIBIT A
Building Elevations: Elevations were submitted with the subject application. Staff has created a
collage that represents the proposed home designs for the development. Staff is supportive of the
proposed mix of building materials, covered porches and varying roof planes and decorative
corbels and shutters. Although, single family homes are not required to obtain design review
approval, the Meridian Design Manual encourages similar building materials and mix of
materials be incorporated into all sides of the future homes, specifically, for those facades that
face a public street and common open space. The applicant should keep this in mind when
designing homes on corner lots and adjacent to the park. In general staff is supportive of the home
design submitted with the application. Future homes constructed within the subdivision must
comply with the elevations attached in Exhibit A.4 below.
In summary, Staff recommends approval of the proposed preliminary plat with the recommended
conditions listed in Exhibit B of this report in accord with the findings contained in Exhibit C.

8. IDAHO TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT
8.1 ITD's corridor plan requires a minimum of 70-ft ofright-of--way as measured from the section
line in US 20-26. The supplied plat drawing appears to show the existing 40-ft ofright-of--way
plus an additiona130-ft for a future right-of--way acquisition. Then plat appears to meet ITD
minimum right-of--way requirements.
8.2 The 70-ft half-width allows the minimum width for a future six-lane roadway but requires that the
City's sidewalks are located within the right-of--way. ITD does not require sidewalks abutting the
state highways. Locating the City's sidewalk outside of the right-of--way would simplify the
future roadway plans and minimizes the cost of surface water drainage.
8.3 ITD has an access management plan for US 20-26 (Chinden Boulevard). The Irvine site plan
does not include any access to new US 20-26. The applicant's site does not appear to affect ITD's
access management plans.
8.4 ITD has no immediate project to widen US 20-26 although the long term corridor plan is to
provide a four and then six-lane roadway. No construction year has been assigned, but the
extension of SH-16 between SH-44 and US 20-26 will certainly accelerate any future
construction program.
8.5 The proposed residential land use creates a relatively small site-generated trip volume. This has
an important impact on the regional roadway system. The Irvine subdivision is all single family
homes. This type of development separates homes from employment opportunities and increases
the average journey-to-work and home-to-shopping trip distance. Although the trip generation
this project is relatively small, the cumulative impact of such subdivisions will certainly increase
regional travel demand and necessitate additional investment in the transportation system. These
development plans incur a regional cost to expand the roadway network. 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.

C. Required Findings from Unified Development Code
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 and is consistent with this
Unified Development Code;
The Council finds that the proposed plat is in substantial compliance with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan in regard to land use, transportation, and circulation. However, the
proposed plat is not in compliance with the current block length requirements of the
UDC.
b. Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to
accommodate the proposed development;
The Council finds that public services are available and will continue to be provided to
the subject property. 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 developer at
their own cost, the 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;
Some services are already being provided to the subject development. The Council finds
there is public financial capability of supporting and continuing services for/to this
development.
e. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general
welfare; and
The Council is not aware of any health, safety, or environmental problems associated
with the platting of this property that was brought to the Council's attention. ACHD
considers road safety issues in their analysis. The Council considered all public
testimony presented when determining whether or not the proposed subdivision may
cause health, safety or environmental problems of which the Commission and Staff are
unaware.
f. The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features.
The Council does not find there are any significant natural, scenic or historic features that
will be lost with development of the site.
