Application(s):
- Annexation & Zoning
- Preliminary Plat
Size of property, existing zoning, and location: This site consists of 41.03 acres of land, is currently zoned RUT in Ada County, and
is located at the SEC of W. Franklin Road & S. Ten Mile Road.
Adjacent Land Use >~ Zoning:
North: Franklin Rd, ag property, zoned RUT & rural residential property, zoned R1 in Ada County; rural residential property, zoned I-L
East & South: Agricultural property, zoned RUT in Ada County
West: S. Ten Mile Road & ag property, zoned RUT in Ada County (a church is kitty corner to this site, zoned C-N)
Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation: MU-C, LC, &HDR
Summary of Request: The applicant requests AZ approval of 45.34 acres of land w/C-G (35.82 acres), R-40 (3.94 acres), & TN-C
(5.58) zoning consistent with the FLUM designations for this site. The applicant proposes to develop a mixed use project consisting of
office & retail, from service and restaurant pad sites torrid-sized commercial, & MFR uses. A concept plan was submitted that depicts
building pads, parking, access points, streets, driveways, landscape buffers, easements, and the pathway along the Ten Mile Creek.
MFR uses are proposed within the R-40 district at the SEC of the site.
The proposed preliminary plat consists of 49 building lots & 3 common/other lots on 41.03 acres of land. The applicant anticipates the
development will be phased; however, a phasing plan was not submitted with the application.
Access to this site is proposed via (1) right-in/right-out, (1) right-in/right-out/left-in & (1) full access via W. Franklin Road; and (2) right-
in/right-out accesses & (1)full-access via S. Ten Mile Road. The concept plan depicts an approved traffic signal for the full-access
(Franklin Crossing Ave.) on Franklin Road to be installed when warranted in the future. During the recent widening of Franklin & Ten
Mile Roads, all of curb cuts for access were constructed & have been approved by ACHD based on the Ten Mile Area Access Sfudy
prepared by HDR Engineering on behalf of the Brighton Corporation. Deceleration lanes were also constructed for the two accesses
closest to the Franklin/Ten Mile intersection on Ten Mile Road and the access closest to the collector street off Franklin Road.
Two collector streets, 1 east/west -Ten Mile Creek Drive & 1 north/south -Franklin Crossing Ave., are depicted on the plat via Ten Mile
& Franklin Roads in accord with the transportation plan for this area & terminate in a cul-de-sac at the south property boundary. There
are a total of 6 driveway accesses (3 on each side) proposed via Franklin Crossing; and 2 via Ten Mile Creek Drive. A waiver to the
access standards in the UDC (11-3A-3) is needed from City Council for approval of the proposed accesses via the collector & arterial
streets. Staff recommends a cross access/ingress-egress easement is granted to the property to the east for future interconnectivity.
A 35-foot wide street buffer is proposed along Ten Mile & Franklin Roads in accord with UDC standards. A sidewalk was constructed
along Franklin Road & along the portion of Ten Mile Road nearest the intersection w/the recent road widening project. A segment of the
City's multi-use pathway system is designated through this site along the Ten Mile Creek to the Franklin/Ten Mile intersection & also
along the frontage of the site along Ten Mile Road.
The Ten Mile Creek bisects this site & is a natural waterway. The applicant proposes to pipe approximately 380' of the creek nearest to
Franklin Road as shown & enhance the open portion of the creek with landscaping and other amenities. Because the UDC & Comp
Plan requires natural waterways such as this to remain open & not be piped, staff recommends the site plan be revised accordingly
unless otherwise approved by Council.
A portion of this site is within the Meridian Floodplain Overlay District. Prior to any development, the applicant is required to submit a
floodplain development application.
Conceptual building elevations were submitted showing the type of structures that may be built within this development. All structures
are required to comply w/design standards in the UDC, guidelines in the Design Manual & the design elements in the TMISAP.
Written Testimony: Mike Wardle (response to the staff report) -requests the following modifications to the staff report:
• Delete condition #1.1.1 k requiring the structure at the NEC of Ten Mile & Ten Mile Creek Dr. to be shifted to the comer (as the
design criteria in the TMISAP calls for buildings to "hold the corners" staff does not support this request.)
• #1.1.1 r is modified to include office uses north of the creek & to include the language "where feasible" in reference to buildings
being designed w/multiple sidewalk entries (staff is amenable to Phis change)
• #1.1.3c is clarified to only require grass within the 10' wide area proposed for future expansion along the north side of Ten
Mile Creek Dr. (because only curb & gutter will be constructed along fhe south side of fhestreet w/this development staff is
amenable to this change.)
• #1.1.7 is modified to remove the reference to a specific agency from which an easement is required for the pathway along the
creek) (staff is amenable to changing the language from Bureau of Reclamation fo "appropriate agencyn)

VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
The subject property is located in the area governed by the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan
(TMISAP). The TMISAP focuses on developing an area that has an identity of its own but which
links to nearby developments. The plan emphasizes the community's support for higher densities and
mixed uses to create a vibrant and economically strong city. The plan also stresses the community's
commitment to good site planning and design as a means of establishing a place everyone can be
proud of and one that protects the interests of future businesses and residents (pg. ix).
LAND USE:
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) contained in the TMISAP designates the subject property with
the following land use types: Mixed Use Commercial (MU-C) (32+/- acres), Lifestyle Center (LC)
(6.36+/- acres), and High Density Residential (HDR) (3.12 +/- acres).
MU-C: The majority of the site is designated MU-C. MU-C designated areas are intended for the
development of a mix of office, retail, recreational, employment and other miscellaneous uses, with
supporting multi-family or single-family attached residential uses. The horizontal and vertical
integration of residential uses is also essential in this area. This designation requires developments to
integrate the three major use categories: residential, commercial, and employment. Traditional
neighborhood design concepts with a strong pedestrian-oriented focus are essential. Development
should exhibit quality building and site design and an attractive pedestrian environment with a strong
street character. An overall target density of 8-12 dwelling units (d.u.) per (/) acre is desired, with
higher densities allowed in individual projects. No more than 30% of the ground level development
within the MUC designation should be used for residences. (See pg. 3-9 for more information.)
LC: A small portion of the site along the southwest boundary is designated LC. The LC designation
is a specific form of Mixed Use Commercial. LC designated areas encourage a diversity of
compatible land uses in a unified development that includes a mix of retail, professional services,
offices, entertainment uses, civic services, housing and public outdoor spaces. The design and
arrangement of buildings should be oriented to pedestrians. Streetscape improvements should be
provided that create rich and enjoyable public spaces. The target overall average density for
residential uses is 16 d.u./acre, with higher densities of up to 40 d.u./acre allowed. All residential uses
should be above the first floor. Structured parking or heavily landscaped and screened surface parking
is a necessity. On-street parallel, angled head-in parking and the integration of public transit into the
lifestyle center should be considered as options. Community gathering places should be provided to
create a sense of place. (See pg. 3-9 for more information.)
HDR: A small portion of the site along the east boundary is designated HDR. HDR designated areas
are multiple-family housing areas where relatively larger and taller apartment buildings are the
recommended building type. HDR areas should include a mix of housing types that achieve an overall
average density target of at least 16-25 dwelling units per gross acre. Most developments within the
HDR areas should fall within or below this range, although smaller areas of higher or lower density
may be included. HDR areas are relatively compact and are located close to larger MU-C and
employment areas and other intensively developed lands. Design and orientation of buildings should
be pedestrian oriented with special streetscape improvements to create rich and enjoyable public
spaces. A strong physical relationship between the commercial and residential components to
adjacent employment or transit centers is critical. (See pg. 3-7 for rr2ore inforr~~ation.)
A conceptual development plan showing how the site is proposed to develop was submitted with this
application and is included in Exhibit A.4. A mixed use development is proposed consisting of office
TM Creek AZ-13-O1 ~; PP-13-030 PAGE 3
and retail, from service and restaurant pad sites to mid-sized commercial, and high-density residential
uses. A large central common area is proposed adjacent to the Ten Mile Creek that will provide a
public pedestrian facility as an amenity along the creek.
The TMISAP contains a Zoning District Compatibility Matrix which lists the best, possible, and
marginal choices for zoning of the different land use categories based on the zoning districts that
comes the closest to meeting the intent of the land uses in the plan (pgs. 2-3 thni 2-7). The applicant
proposes to rezone all of the LC designated area and the majority of the MU-C designated area with
the C-G zoning district which is listed in the matrix as a possible choice for those areas. The portion
of the site that is designated MU-C and HDR is proposed to be rezoned to the TN-C district which is
not listed as a choice in the HDR area but is listed as the best possible choice in the MU-C area. The
applicant proposes to rezone the HDR designated portion at the southeast corner of the site with the
R-40 zoning district, which is listed as the best choice for that area. Overall, based on the proposed
uses and the matrix, staff finds the proposed zoning choices are consistent with the TMISAP and are
the best choices for this area (pg. 2-5).
TRANSPORTATION: The Transportation System Map and the Street Section Map contained in the
TMISAP identifies a collector street network for the Ten Mile planning area, a portion of which is
designated for this site.
Guidelines from the Plan (S. Ten Mile Road):
South Ten Mile Road runs along the west boundary of the site. Street Section A (see detail below),
which represents a modified 4-lane parkway, represents S. Ten Mile Road.
This parkway is anticipated to enhance the look and feel of Teu Mile Road and to provide additional
buffers to adjacent properties. The parkway is designed to provide rapid and relatively unimpeded
traffic movement throzrghoul the area and carry high volumes of traffic to mixed use and employruent
centers. The parkway serves as an arterial road and access is restricted to collector streets. Buildings
should address the street but should be set back some distance, fi°orn the roadway edge to provide
wide tree lawn acrd detached trail to provide security to the pedestrians and bikes. A tree lawn or
planting strips should be provided in all areas. Streetlights should be located in the tree/lawn area
and should be of a pedestrian scale while street lights in the median shoarld be designed to meet
vehicular needs.
Applicant's Proposal:
The applicant proposes a 35-foot wide landscaped street buffer along Ten Mile Road in accord with
the Plan (see detail below). An attached sidewalk is depicted on the concept plan which does not
comply with UDC or TMISAP standards. There is a temporary attached asphalt pathway that
currently exists along Ten Mile Road. Two (2) right-in/right-out driveway accesses are proposed via
Ten Mile Road.

LANDSCAPE BUFFER BDUNDARY
~o~ Landscape Buffer: Ten Mile Road
~ Scde: 1'= 30'-D'
Staffls Recommendation:
The temporary pathway should be removed and a new 10-foot wide detached pathway should be
constructed within the buffer area some distance from the roadway. Buildings should address the
street by being built to the street buffer with windows overlooking the pathway to provide security to
the pedestrians and bikes on the pathway. Street lights at a pedestrian-scale should be installed within
the sheet buffer in accord with the Plan. The two driveway accesses via Ten Mile Road are not
supported by the Plan and require a City Council waiver to UDC 11-3A-3 for approval of the
accesses. ACHD has approved these accesses (see letter in Exhibit A.6).
Guidelines from the Plan (East/West Collector):
An east/west residential collector street is depicted on the Map along the southern boundary of this
site to be constructed in accord with the design shown in "Street Section D" of the Plan which
represents a residential collector street (see detail below).
Street Sectlo~ Q
Applicant's Proposal:
~.~b ~,~, ... _ _ ~ ,._
The proposed plat depicts a collector street (Ten Mile Creek Drive) along the southern boundary of
the site as anticipated on the Map. However, because residential uses are not proposed along the north
side of the street, the applicant is not proposing to construct a residential collector street as called for
on the Map. The proposed street section consists of a 3-lane collector street with amedian/turn lane,
bike lanes, 8-foot wide planters and 5-foot wide detached sidewalks within 78 feet of ROW. An extra
10 feet on each side is proposed to be preserved for future roadway expansion (see detail below).

Staff s Recommendation:
TEN MILE CREEK DR
3 LANE COLLECTOR W/MEDIAN
Based on the site layout and uses proposed by the applicant, Staff agrees a residential street collector
is not appropriate for this area. The proposed street section appears to closely align with Street
Section C in the Plan with the addition of a turn lane (see detail below).
Street Section C represents the major collector streets. These streets provide access from adjacent
arterial streets into the employment areas. Buildings on these streets are set back from the street at
some distance generally behind a detached sidewalk. A tree lawn shozrld be provided in all areas.
Streetlights should be located in the tree lawn area and should be of a pedestrian scale. A 5 foot wide
dry-utilities corridor should be provided along both sides of the street curb. The corridor may not be
required if all dry utilities are located in air alley or other street.
street Section C
119 . {i~ :i!FIF II.= ~.'..;p
Staff supports the applicant's proposed street section with the recommendation that streetlights of a
pedestrian scale are provided within the tree lawn area. The area preserved for firture ROW will allow
for future expansion if warranted by ACHD and should be planted with grass in the interim.
Guidelines from the Plan (North/South Collector):
A north/south minor collector street is depicted on the Map through this site to be constructed in
accord with the design shown in "Street Section E" of the Plan, which represents a minor collector
street (see detail below).
Minor collector streets in the Ten Mile area serve as the primary retail streets; their character is
pedestrian-oriented and defined by street-level store, fronts. Buildings on these streets are built to the
sidewalk with 12 foot wide sidewalks, street trees in wells, and pedestrian scale lighting. Ample on-
streetdiagonal parking supports the businesses within the LC and MU-C areas. This section may be
modified to allow parallel parking as a local section in these areas. The Plan recommends a S foot
dry utilities corridor be provided along both sides of the street curb; the corridor rr7ay not be required
if all dry utilities are located in an alley or other street. Both wet utilities may be located in the street.
Streetlights should be placed in the dry utilities corridor on either side of the street.

Applicant's Proposal:
The proposed plat depicts anorth/south collector street (Franklin Crossing Ave.) through the site as
anticipated on the Map. Three different street sections are proposed consisting of the portion north of
the creek, the bridge, and the portion south of the creek (see details below). The street sections for the
portions north and south of the creek depict a proposed street layout as well as a future layout within
the same ROW width for expansion if traffic warrants such in the future.

SOUTH OF CREEK
North of the creek:
The proposed plat depicts 86-feet of ROW consisting of a median/tuns lane with two (2)
travel lanes, bike lanes, parallel parking, curb and gutter, 7-foot wide attached sidewalks and
an additional 2.5-foot wide section of sidewalk outside of the ROW. The ultimate width of
the sidewalk is proposed to be 9.5 feet. Trees will be installed in wells within the sidewalk
area.
The street section also depicts a future plan for reconfiguration if needed within the same
ROW width that adds two (2) travel lanes in place of the parallel parking.
Bridge section:
The proposed plat depicts 100-feet of ROW consisting of a center turn lane, four (4) travel
lanes, bike lanes, and attached 7-foot wide sidewalks with an additional 8-foot to the property
line.
South of the creek:
The proposed plat depicts 98-feet of ROW consisting of a median/turn lane, two (2) travel
lanes, bike lanes, parallel parking, curb and gutter, 8-foot wide planters and 5-foot wide
detached sidewalks.
The street section also depicts a fi-ture plan for reconfiguration if needed within the same
ROW width that adds two (2) travel lanes in place of the parallel parking.
Staffls Recommendation:
The proposed and future street sections appear to closely align with Street Section E in the Plan (see
detail below).
Street Section E represents a rrrirror collector street irr the Ten Mile area which serves as the primary
retail streets; their character is pedestrian-oriented and defined by street-level storefronts. Buildings
on these streets are built to the sidewalk with 12 foot wide sidewalks, street trees in wells, and
pedestrian scale lighting. Ample on-street parking sarpports the businesses within the LC and MZI-C
areas. The Play recornmerrds a 5 foot dry utilities corridor be provided along both sides of the street
curb; the corridor may not be required if all dry utilities are located in air alley or other street. Both
wet utilities naay be located in the street. Streetlights should be placed in the dry utilities corridor on
either side of the street.
Staff is of the opinion the proposed and future street sections are generally consistent with the Plan
with the exception that the sidewalk north of the creek should be widened from 9.5 feet to 12 feet to
accommodate more pedestrian traffic in accord with the Plan. Therefore, staff recommends the
proposed north south collector street is constructed in accord with the street sections proposed by the
applicant. At such time as traffic warrants and is deemed necessary by ACHD, the roadway may be
reconfigured to a 4-lane roadway with no on-street parking as proposed. Because initially Franklin
Crossing will be configured as a two lane roadway, the bridge section should be configured
TM Creek AZ-13-015: PP-13-030 PAGE 8
accordingly and may be restriped in the firture if warranted by ACHD to accommodate more lanes of
traffic.

DESIGN: The location, scale, form, height, and design duality of public and private buildings and
spaces are integral to the development of the Ten Mile area. The design elements included in Chapter
3 of the TMISAP are intended to serve as the basic framework for projects within this area.
The matrix on page 3-49 lists the following design elements (& associated page numbers) as
applicable to MUC, LC, and HDR designated areas: architecture & heritage (3-32); commercial &
mixed use buildings and residential buildings (Street-Oriented Design 3-33); buildings to scale (3-
34); neighborhood design (3-36); building form and character (3-37); building details (3-41); signs (3-
46); and public art (3-47).
The following are some important design elements noted in the Plan that should be considered with
development of this site:
• Buildings at or close to the property line facing the street -main entrances/facades should be
oriented to the street;
• Buildings should relate effectively to the fronting streets by aligning and being as continuous as
possible;
• Buildings at street corners should "hold the corners";
• The space between a building fagade and the adjacent sidewalk should be landscaped with a
combination of lawn, groundcover, shrubs, and trees;
• Restaurants are encouraged to have outdoor dining; shops & stores are encouraged to open their
doors & street front windows & use clear glass that allows visual access inwards & outwards;
• Human-scale design by building entrances placed close to the street, ground floor windows,
articulated facades, appropriately scaled signs and lighting, and awnings and other weather
protection;
• Provide elements that become focal points and announce special places in the Ten Mile area
(gateway & entryway corridor signs, continuous walkways, attractive streetscape design, avoid
parking in front of buildings, landscaping, etc.);
• Architectural character should establish a clear sense of identity for each activity center through
an overall palette for each commercial center while maintaining a degree of individuality for each
building. The palette should address and coordinate key elements such as materials (walls, roofs,
key architectural elements), and colors, etc.;
TM Creek AZ-13-O15; PP-13-030 PAGE 9
• Low-rise buildings of 2-4 stories over much of the area is recommended with opportunities for
taller buildings in a few locations;
• For streets & block fronts where commercial uses and pedestrian activity are most desired, it is
recommended that sidewalks be lined with shops, restaurants, and galleries and that buildings be
designed with multiple sidewalk entries, generously-scaled display and transom windows,
pedestrian-scaled signs and banners, and awnings or canopies for sun shading;
• Signs should be designed to contribute to the overall character, identity and way finding system.
Signs should be compatible with the architecture of the buildings and businesses they identify in
colors, materials, sizes, shapes, and lighting; and
• Public art that contributes to the character and identity of the City should be incorporated into the
development in the design of streetscapes, plazas, public spaces associated with buildings, etc.
Art should be easily visible to the public (e.g. on the exterior of buildings rather than in lobbies,
or visible from the street or publicly accessible open spaces rather than interior courtyards).
Staff recommendation: Staff finds development of this site is generally consistent with the above
guidelines for the following reasons: the concept plan depicts buildings located at or close to the
property lines facing most of the streets; buildings are generally in alignment; the concept elevations
depict two story buildings within the TN-C and R-40 districts; outdoor seating along the walkways in
the TN-C district; transom windows and awnings; and signs contributing to the feel of the pedestrian
oriented portion of the development.
As the Plan calls for buildings to "hold the corners", staff recommends the building shown on the
concept plan at the northeast corner of S. Ten Mile Road and Ten Mile Creek Drive be shifted to the
corner in accord with this guideline and consistent with structures on other corners of the site.
GOALS, OBJECTIVES, & ACTION ITEMS:
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):
• "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." (3.07.01 E)
The applicant pi°oposes to include a high density residential component with this development
which should add to the variety of residential categories and contribute to the range of
housing opportunities available within the City
• "Lnplement the City's Pathways Master Plan to provide a bike and pathways system between
neighborhoods, local collectors, and community destinations." (6.02.O1A)
Several segments of the City's rnUlti-use pathway system are designated on this property
along Ten Mile Road, along the portion of Franklin Road near the Franklin/Ten Mile
intersection and along the Ten Mile Creek. These pathways will provide pedestrian and
bicycle connectivity to and through this development.
• "Provide housing options close to employment and shopping centers." (3.07.02D)

VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC)
A. Purpose Statement of Zones:
1. The purpose of the commercial districts is to provide for the retail and service needs of the
community in accordance with the Meridian comprehensive plan. Six (6) districts are
designated which differ in the size and scale of commercial structures accommodated in the
district, the scale and mix of allowed commercial uses, and the location of the district in
proximity to streets and highways (UDC 11-2B-1).
The largest scale and broadest mix of retail, office, service, and light industrial uses are
allowed in the C-G district and are located in close proximity and/or with access to interstate
or arterial intersections.
2. The purpose of the traditional neighborhood districts is to encourage mixed use, compact
development that is sensitive to the environmental characteristics of the laud and facilitates
the efficient use of services. Vertically integrated residential projects are encouraged in all
traditional neighborhood districts. A traditional neighborhood district diversifies and
integrates land uses within close proximity of each other, and it provides for the daily
recreational and shopping needs of the residents (UDC 11-2D-1).
The purpose of the TN-C district is to serve as the focal point of a neighborhood center,
containing retail, commercial, and community services to meet the daily needs of community
residents within a one or two mile radius. The TN-C district is pedestrian oriented and is
designed to encourage pedestrian connection with a traditional neighborhood residential
district. TN-C district uses include small scale retail, restaurants, recreational, personal
services, public or quasi-public uses, churches, and attached and multi-family dwellings.
3. 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. The high-density residential (R-40) district allows a
TM Creek AZ-13-015; PP-13-030 PAGE 11
maximum gross density of 40 dwelling units per acre (UDC ll-2A-l).
B. Schedule of Use: UDC Tables 11-2A-2, 11-2B-2, and 11-2D-2 lists the principal permitted (P),
accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the proposed R-40, C-G, and TN-C
zoning districts respectively. Any use not explicitly listed is prohibited.
C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site should be consistent with the dimensional
standards listed in UDC Tables 1 l -2A-8, 11-2B-3, and 1 1-2D-5 for the R-40, C-G, and TN-C
zoning districts respectively.
D. Landscaping: Landscaping is required in accordance with the TMISAP along streets.
Landscaping within parking lots is required to comply with UDC 1 1-3B-8C.
E. Off-Street Parking: Off-street parking is required in accord with UDC 11-3C-6B for non-
residential uses and UDC Table 11-3C-6 for multi-family dwellings.
IX. ANALYSIS
Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation:
A. Annexation & Zoning (AZ)
The applicant requests approval to annex & zone 45.34 acres of land with C-G (35.82 acres), R-
40 (3.94 acres), and TN-C (5.58 acres) zoning districts. As discussed above in Section VII, the
proposed zoning is consistent with the corresponding FLUM designations of MU-C, HDR, and
LC.
The applicant proposes to develop a mixed use project on this site consisting of office and retail,
from service and restaurant pad sites to mid-sized commercial, and multi-family residential uses.
A conceptual development plan was submitted for this site that depicts building pads, parking,
access points, streets, driveways, landscape buffers, easements, and the pathway along the Ten
Mile creek (see Exhibit A.4). Multi-family residential uses are proposed within the R-40 district
at the southeast corner of the site.
The legal description submitted with the application, included in Exhibit C, shows the boundaries
of the property proposed to be annexed and rezoned. The property is contiguous to land that has
been annexed into the City and is within the Area of City Impact boundary.
The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant
to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. In order to ensure the site develops as proposed with this
application, staff recommends a DA is required as a provision of annexation with the provisions
included in Exhibit B.
B. Preliminary Plat (PP)
The proposed preliminary plat consists of 49 building lots and 3 common/other lots on 41.03
acres of land. The applicant anticipates the development will be phased; however, a phasing plan
was not submitted with this application. With the first phase of development, staff recommends a
phasing plan be submitted.
Dimensional Standards: Staff has reviewed the proposed plat for compliance with the
dimensional standards of the C-G, TN-C, and R-40 districts and found the plat to comply with the
applicable standards. Buildings should be setback from the property lines in accord with the
minimum standards and shall comply with the minimum number of stories and/or maximum
building height as required in the applicable district.
Access: The UDC (I 1-3A-3) limits access to arterial and collector streets to improve safety by
combining and/or limiting access points to such streets to ensure that motorists can safely enter
TM Creek AZ-13-015; PP-13-030 PAGE 12
all streets. Prior to any new, expanded, or extended use or development of the property, where
access is not available to a local street, cross-access/ingress-egress easements are required to be
granted to adjoining properties. These standards apply unless waived by City Council.
Access to this site is proposed on the plat as follows: (1) right-in/right-out, (1) right-in/right-
out/left-in, and (1) full access via W. Franklin Road; and (2) right-in/right-out accesses & (1) full-
access via S. Ten Mile Road. The concept plan depicts an approved traffic signal for the fi~ll-
access (Franklin Crossing Ave.) on Franklin Road; the signal will be installed when war~anted in
the fixture. During the recent widening of Franklin and Ten Mile Roads, all of these access
points/curb cots were constructed. Additionally, deceleration lanes were constructed for the two
accesses closest to the Franklin/Ten Mile intersection on Ten Mile Road; and a deceleration lane
and left-in access was constructed for the access closest to the collector street on Franklin Road.
Based on the Ten Mile Area Access Study prepared by HDR Engineering on behalf of the
Brighton Corporation, ACHD has approved these access points as stated in the letter attached in
Exhibit A.6. The UDC restricts access points to arterial streets but allows for a Council waiver in
certain circumstances. A waiver from City Council is required to UDC 11-3A-3 for City
approval of the proposed accesses.
Two collector streets are depicted on the ACRD Master Street Map to be constructed across this
property -one north/south connection via W. Franklin Road and one east/west connection via S.
Ten Mile Road. The proposed plat depicts collector streets (Franklin Crossing Ave. & Ten Mile
Creek Dr.) in the areas depicted on the map. Ten Mile Creek Drive (at the southwest corner of the
site) comes into the site approximately 400 feet and terminates in a eul-de-sac. Because the
property boundary is irregular in this area, the street will not be extended until such time as the
property to the south develops. Franklin Crossing Avenue also terminates in a cul-de-sac at the
south boundary of the site and will evenhially connect to Ten Mile Creek Drive when it is
extended in the fiihu~e.
In addition to the above mentioned access points from the adjacent arterial streets, access via the
internal collector streets is proposed as follows: 6 access points (3 on each side) are depicted on
the site plan via Franklin Crossing Avenue [2 are full accesses; 1 (the one closest to Franklin
Road) is a right-in/right-out]; and 2full-accesses are depicted via Ten Mile Creek Drive. The
UDC restricts access points to collector streets but allows for a Council waiver in certain
circumstances. A waiver from City Council is required to UDC 11-3A-3 for City approval of
these proposed accesses.
In order to limit access points via the arterial and collector streets, staff recommends a
cross-access/ingress-egress easement be granted to the property to the east (parcel
#51214212620) in accord with UDC 11-3A-3.
Comments have not yet been received from ACHD on this application.
Water/Sewer Service: The proposed subdivision will be serviced by existing water and sewer
main stubs in S. Ten Mile Road and W. Franklin Road.
Pressurized Irrigation (PI): The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be
supplied by a year-round source of water (MCC 12-13-8.3). The applicant agrees to use the
available City of Meridians reuse water supply for the primary source of irrigation by entering
into a development agreement with the City of Meridian. The applicant will be required to use
Meridian's reuse water with the construction of this development.
Storm Drainage: Storm water drainage is proposed to be managed and detained in underground
seepage beds on-site in accord with City, ACHD, and NMID requirements.
Multi-Use Pathway: A segment of the City's multi-use pathway (Ten Mile) system is designated
on the Pathways Master Plan through this site along the Ten Mile Creek to Franklin Road and
TM Creek AZ-13-015; PP-13-030 PAGE 13
west to the Ten Mile/Franklin intersection. Another segment is also designated along the
frontage of this site on Ten Mile Road.
The landscape plan depicts a 10-foot wide regional pathway along the southwest side of the creek
in accord with the Plan connecting to the sidewalk along W. Franklin Road. However, the
pathway dead-ends at the west side of Franklin Crossing Avenue near the east boundary of the
site.
Staff recommends the 10-foot wide pathway be extended internally at its fill] width north to the
sidewalk along W. Franklin Road and to the east property boundary for future extension. The
pathway should switch to the north side of the creek on the east side of Franklin Crossing
Avenue. A crosswalk should be provided across Franklin Crossing Avenue for the pathway.
A temporary attached asphalt sidewalk exists along Ten Mile Road that was constructed with the
recent street improvements. Staff recommends a detached 10-foot wide pathway is constructed
along S. Ten Mile Road some distance from the roadway and the existing temporary sidewalk is
removed. Staff further recommends a minimum 14-foot wide public pedestrian easement for the
multi-use pathway(s) is submitted to the Planning Division, approved by City Co~mcil and
recorded prior to signature by the City Engineer on the first final plat.
Landscaping: A preliminary landscape plan was submitted with this application as shown in
Exhibit A.3. The UDC requires a minimum 35-foot wide street buffer along S. Ten Mile Road, an
entryway corridor; and a minimum 25-foot wide street buffer along W. Franklin Road, an arterial
street, landscaped in accord with the standards listed in UDC l 1-3B-7C. The proposed landscape
plan depicts a 35-foot wide buffer along both Ten Mile and Franklin Roads in compliance with
UDC standards.
The UDC also requires a minimum 20-foot wide street buffer along collector streets (i.e. Franklin
Crossing Avenue and Ten Mile Creek Drive). However, the UDC did not anticipate the
requirements of the TMISAP for development within its boundary. Because the Franklin
Crossing Avenue street section north of the creek is consistent with the Plan in that buildings are
brought up to the street and wide pedestrian walkways are provided with tree wells, landscaping
within that section should be provided as proposed in accord with the Plan rather than in accord
with UDC standards. The remainder of the Franklin Crossing Avenue south of the creek and Ten
Mile Creek Drive should be required to provide a 20-foot wide street buffer and landscaping in
accord with UDC standards.
Non-residential street buffers are required to be on a common lot or on a permanent dedicated
buffer, maintained by the property owner or business owners association in accord with UDC 11-
3B-7C.2.
A cross-section of the landscaping proposed within the creek corridor is shown on the landscape
plan as detail A and is included in Exhibit A.3. Cross-sections of the street buffers are also
included on the landscape plan in details B, C, and D and should be revised in accord with the
conditions in this report.
Fencing: No fencing is proposed on the landscape plan. The UDC (1 1-3A-6B) states that fencing
along all nahiral waterways (i.e. Ten Mile Creek) shall not prevent access to the waterway.
However, in limited circumstances and in the interest of public safety, larger open water systems
may require fencing as determined by the City Council, Director, and/or Public Works Director.
Open Space & Site Amenities: The open space and site amenity requirements listed in UDC 11-
3G-3 are not applicable to commercial developments. The multi-family portion of the site is
required to comply with these standards and those listed in UDC ll-4-3-27 upon development.
Sidewalks & Parkways: As set forth in UDC ll-3A-17, 5-foot wide detached sidewalks are
required along all arterial and collector streets; the minimum width of parkways planted with
TM Creek AZ-13-O15; PP-13-030 PAGE 14
Class II trees is 8 feet. The width of sidewalks and parkways in the TMISAP differ from that in
the UDC depending on the type of street section provided.
A detached sidewalk was recently constructed along W. Franklin Road with the street widening
project; and a 5-foot wide attached sidewalk exists alo~ig the portion of S. Ten Mile Road from
the nearest curb cut to the Ten Mile/Franklin Road intersection. The remainder of the sidewalks
and parkways constructed on this site should be consistent with the standards listed in UDC 11-
3A-17aad the TMISAP except as otherwise noted.
Natural Features: The Ten Mile Creek bisects this site and is a natural waterway. As such, it is
required to remain open as a nahiral amenity and is Trot allowed to be piped or otherwise covered,
per UDC 11-3A-6A.1. A 100-feet wide easement is depicted on the plat for the creek.
The applicant proposes to pipe approximately 380 feet of the Ten Mile Creek nearest to
Franklin Road as shown on the landscape plan. The applicant asserts that without piping
this section of the creek locating a building on this prominent corner would be extremely
difficult. In an effort to mitigate this impact the applicant is proposing to enhance the
portion of the creek that remains open with landscaping and other amenities. Staff
recognizes the applicant's position but because the UDC does not allow natural waterways
to be covered, staff recommends the site plan be revised to show the Ten Mile Creek open
and preserved within this development, unless otherwise approved by the City Council.
Ditches, Laterals, Canals or Drainage Courses: Several waterways exist on this site. The
Kennedy Lateral rims along most of the southern boundary; the Vaughan Lateral runs along the
northern boundary at the northeast corner of the site; and a couple of other smaller irrigation
ditches cross the site.
Irrigation ditches, laterals, canals, and drains may be left open when used as a water amenity or
linear open space; otherwise, they are required to be piped, per UDC 11-3A-6.
Floodplain: Portions of this project are located within the Meridian Floodplain Overlay District.
Prior to any development occurring within the Overlay District the applicant is required to
submit, and the City shall review and approve, a floodplain development application which
includes the necessary analysis and documents under MCC Title l0, Chapter 6, including
hydraulic and hydrologic analysis.
Building Elevations: The applicant has submitted conceptual building elevations for the future
structures in this development, included in Exhibit A.S. All structures are required to comply with
the design standards listed in UDC 1 l -3A-19, the design features described in the TMIASP, and
the urban/suburban design guidelines contained in the design manual.
In surnrrrary, Staff recornrrrends approval of the proposed annexation & zoning and 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.

D. Required Findings from Unified Development Code
1. Annexation 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 an annexation, the
Council shall make the following findings:
a. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive
Plan;
Staff finds that the proposed map amendment is generally consistent with the MU-C, LC, and
HDR FLUM designations for this site and should be compatible with existing and future
adjacent uses. Therefore, Staff finds the amendment is consistent with the applicable
provisions of the Comprehensive Plan (see section VII above for more information).
b. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district,
specifically the purpose statement;
Staff finds that the proposed map amendment to the C-G, TN-C and R-40 zoning districts is
consistent with the purpose statements of the applicable districts as detailed in Section VIII
above.
c. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
and welfare;
Staff 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. Staff
recommends that the Commission and Council consider any oral or written testimony that
may be provided when determining this finding.
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,
Staff 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 is in the best of interest of the City (UDC 11-SB-3.E).
Staff finds the proposed annexation of this property is in the best interest of the City.
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;
Staff finds that if the applicant develops the site in accord with the provisions in the DA,
the development will be in substantial compliance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan
in regard to land use, transportation, design and circulation. Please see Comprehensive
Plan Policies ar~d Goals, Section VII, of the Staff Report for more information.
b. Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to
accommodate the proposed development;

development. (See Exhibit B of the Staff Report for more details from public service
providers.)
-20-
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, Staff 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;
Staff recommends the Co~mnission and Council rely upon comments from the public
service providers (i.e., Police, Fire, ACRD, etc.) to determine this finding. (See Exhibit B
for more detail.)
e. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general
welfare; and
Staff is not aware of any health, safety, or environmental problems associated with the
platting of this property that should be brought to the Council or Commission's attention.
ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. Staff recommends that the
Commission and Council consider any public testimony that may be presented when
determining whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or
environmental problems of which Staff is unaware.
