Vicinity Request The applicant, Guy Jones of Alliance Building LLC, representing the owner, Steve and Verta Black, is requesting to rezone Parcel R38200010 from an “R- R” (Rural Residential) zone to an “R-1” (Single Family Residential) zone (RZ2019-0019). The applicant is also requesting a Preliminary Plat (Black Acres Subdivision) with Irrigation and Drainage plan (SD2019-0020). The vacant 18.46 acre property is located near the intersection of Cemetery Road and Purple Sage Road; also referenced as a portion of the NE ¼ of Section 36, Township 5N, Range 3W, Canyon County, Idaho. Background The subject parcel is a portion of an original 40 acre parcel that was divided without County approval. The divided parcels were rezoned to “R-R” (Rural Residential) in 2015 (PH2014-46). Wind River Estates Subdivision (SD- PH2016-58) was approved on one of the divided parcels subsequently after rezone approval. The subject parcel does not have a building permit available. Therefore, if the rezone is approved, platting will be required. The rezone application initially requested an “R-2” (Medium Density Residential) zone. Upon review, staff recommended the applicant request an “R-1” zone or submit an application for a development agreement. The “R-1” allows for smaller lots (no less than 12,000 square feet) subject to connect to city services/community system or one (1) acre minimum lot sizes if not connected to city services/community system. If the applicant abandoned the subdivision and did not connect to city services, the “R-1” zone is more appropriate in the area than the “R-2” zone. The rezone request was tabled (June 20, 2019 and August 1, 2019) and re-noticed to request the “R-1” zone. The applicant requested the item be tabled September 5, 2019 to allow the rezone (RZ2019-0019) and subdivision application (SD2019-0020) to be heard concurrently by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Setting/General Information The 18.46 acre parcel is zoned “R-R” (Rural Residential, two acre average minimum lot size). Majority of the area is zoned “A” (Agricultural, 40 acre minimum lot size) or located within the city limits of Middleton (Exhibit 4c). The following rezones were previously approved in the area: - PH2016-50: Rezone of parcel R37547 from “A to “R-1”. Approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) in 2016 (Ordinance No. 16-018). - PH2014-46: Rezone of parcels R38200010 (subject parcel), 010A, 010B and 010C from “A” to “R-R”. Approved by the BOCC in 2015 (Ordinance No. 15-007). - PH2013-1: Conditionally rezone of parcel R37990 from “A” to “R-2” zone. The BOCC approved the rezone in 2013 (Ordinance No. 13-005) subject to a development agreement prohibiting mutli-family dwellings and requiring compliance with Canyon Highway District #4 and Southwest District Health requirements and standards (Agreement #13-022).

Request The applicant, Guy Jones of Alliance Building LLC, representing the owner, Steve and Verta Black, is requesting to rezone Parcel R38200010 from an “R-R” (Rural Residential) zone to an “R-1” (Single Family Residential) zone (RZ2019-0019). The applicant is also requesting a Preliminary Plat (Black Acres Subdivision) with Irrigation and Drainage plan (SD2019-0020). The vacant 18.46 acre property is located near the intersection of Cemetery Road and Purple Sage Road; also referenced as a portion of the NE ¼ of Section 36, Township 5N, Range 3W, Canyon County, Idaho.

Background The subject parcel is a portion of an original 40 acre parcel that was divided without County approval. The divided parcels were rezoned to “R-R” (Rural Residential) in 2015 (PH2014-46). Wind River Estates Subdivision (SD-PH2016-58) was approved on one of the divided parcels subsequently after rezone approval. The subject parcel does not have a building permit available. Therefore, if the rezone is approved, platting will be required.

The rezone application initially requested an “R-2” (Medium Density Residential) zone. Upon review, staff recommended the applicant request an “R-1” zone or submit an application for a development agreement. The “R-1” allows for smaller lots (no less than 12,000 square feet) subject to connect to city services/community system or one (1) acre minimum lot sizes if not connected to city services/community system. If the applicant abandoned the subdivision and did not connect to city services, the “R-1” zone is more appropriate in the area than the “R-2” zone. The rezone request was tabled (June 20, 2019 and August 1, 2019) and re-noticed to request the “R-1” zone.

The applicant requested the item be tabled September 5, 2019 to allow the rezone (RZ2019-0019) and subdivision application (SD2019-0020) to be heard concurrently by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Setting/General Information The 18.46 acre parcel is zoned “R-R” (Rural Residential, two acre average minimum lot size). Majority of the area is zoned “A” (Agricultural, 40 acre minimum lot size) or located within the city limits of Middleton (Exhibit 4c).

The following rezones were previously approved in the area:

- PH2016-50: Rezone of parcel R37547 from “A to “R-1”. Approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) in 2016 (Ordinance No. 16-018).

- PH2014-46: Rezone of parcels R38200010 (subject parcel), 010A, 010B and 010C from “A” to “R-R”. Approved by the BOCC in 2015 (Ordinance No. 15-007).

- PH2013-1: Conditionally rezone of parcel R37990 from “A” to “R-2” zone. The BOCC approved the rezone in 2013 (Ordinance No. 13-005) subject to a development agreement prohibiting mutli-family dwellings and requiring compliance with Canyon Highway District #4 and Southwest District Health requirements and standards (Agreement #13-022).

- PH2017-70: Rezone of parcel R38224010 from “A” to “R-1” zone. The BOCC approved the rezone in 2018 (Ordinance No. 18-007).

The 2020 Canyon County Comprehensive Plan designates the future land use of the parcel as “residential” (Exhibit 4f). The parcel is located within the City of Middleton’s Impact Area which also designates the area as “Residential” (Exhibit 4g). The applicant has an agreement with the City of Middleton to extend city services to the parcel (Exhibit 2, Attachment D).

Pursuant to the Subdivision Map and Report (Exhibit 4d), a total of 32 subdivisions are established in the area. Of the 32 subdivision, only 7 are located within the City of Middleton. The following subdivision are located within the vicinity of the proposed rezone and subdivision plat:

- Wind River Estates Subdivision: The subdivision consists of five lots, 1.81 acre average lot size. The subdivision was approved in 2017.

- Kimpton Acres #1: The subdivision consists of 17 lots, 0.98 acre average lot size. The subdivision was approved in 1973.

- Kimpton Acres #3: The subdivision consists of 25 lots, 0.54 acre average lot size. The subdivision was approved in 1973.

- Longstreet Subdivision: The subdivision consists of 32 lots, 0.67 acre average lot size. The subdivision was approved in 1972.

- Amended Plat the Crossing at Meadow Park Sub. No. 1: The subdivision consists of 88 lots, 0.83 acre average lot size. The subdivision was approved by the City of Middleton in 2015.

The property currently has agricultural access from Purple Sage Road, a principal arterial, from Mint Lane, a private road. Upon review by Canyon Highway District (Exhibit 2, Attachment E), development of the parcel will require right-of way dedication, frontage and public internal road improvements.

Based on Soils Maps and report (Exhibit 4e), the parcel is prime farmland (if irrigated) with moderately-suited soils.

The parcel is located within a nitrate priority area (Exhibit 4j). The rezone and subdivision submittal proposes connection to city services. Therefore, future development will not include wells or septic systems or related studies.

Analysis - Rezone Pursuant §07-06-05 of the Canyon County Zoning Ordinance, standards and criteria must be evaluated related to a zoning amendment (rezone) application. Upon review of the requested rezone, subject to the required standards and criteria, the following was determined:

The rezone request is consistent with the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. The request is consistent with the following policies and goals:

o Property Rights Policy No. 1: “No person shall be deprived of private property without due process of law.”

o Public Services, Facilities and Utilities Policy No. 3: “Encourage the establishment of new development to be located within the boundaries of a rural fire protection district.”

Page 3: Planning and Zoning Staff Report Black – Rezone (RZ2019 ... · TAZ j. Nitrate Priority 5. Idaho Transportation Department Letter - PH2017-70: Rezone of parcel R38224010 from “A”

Black STAFF REPORTRZ2019-0019 & SD2019-0020 Page 3 of 4

o Population Policy No. 3: “Encourage future population to locate within areas that are conducive to residential living and that do not pose an incompatible land use to other land uses.”

o Land Use Policy #1: “Coordinate planning and development with applicable highway district and health officials.”

o Land Use – Residential Policy #1: “Encourage high density residential in areas of city impact.”

o General Public Services Implementation Action: “Where feasible, subdivisions within the city area of impact should be connected to city water and/or sewer.”

The request is appropriate, consistent with surrounding uses and will not create a negative impact to the character of the area. The parcel is currently zoned for residential use (Rural Residential). Based on previous rezones approved in the area and residential subdivisions surrounding the subject parcel, the “R-1” zone is more appropriate. Future development will consist of 26 residential lots with a 0.50 acre average lot size (SD2019-0020). The result is consistent with existing lot sizes within approved subdivisions north of Purple Sage Road and within the city limits of Middleton (Crossing Meadow Park, Meadow Park Estates #1). Required improvements, such as connection to city services, right-of-way dedication, road improvements, fire hydrants, pressurized irrigation and stormwater management are required to be consistent with County and affected agency requirements and installed/completed prior to final plat approval.

The request will have adequate services. The development proposes connection to city water and sewer upon agreement with the City of Middleton (Exhibit 2, Attachment D). The subdivision proposes pressurized irrigation to each lot (Exhibit 2, Attachment A).

The request has adequate access and will not create undue traffic impacts. Proposed development will take access from Cemetery Road and provide internal public road in compliance with Canyon Highway District requirements. Access to Purple Sage Road is not allowed. All right of way dedication, public road and frontage improvements required by Canyon Highway District #4 (Exhibit 2, Attachment E) will be required to be installed/completed prior to final plat approval. Idaho Transportation Department does not oppose the requests (Exhibit 5).

Analysis – Preliminary Plat Section 07-17-09(4)A of the Canyon County Zoning Ordinance (CCZO) states, “The commission or hearing examiner shall hold a noticed public hearing on the preliminary plat. The hearing body shall recommend that the board approve, approve conditionally, modify, or deny the preliminary plat. The reasons for such action will be shown in the commission's minutes. The reasons for action taken shall specify:

1. The ordinance and standards used in evaluating the application;

2. Recommendations for conditions of approval that would minimize adverse conditions, if any;

3. The reasons for recommending the approval, conditional approval, modification, or denial; and

4. If denied, the actions, if any, that the applicant could take to gain approval of the proposed subdivision.”

8. The Planning and Zoning Commission tabled the item On June 20, 2019, August 1, 2019 and September 5, 2019.

9. The record consists of exhibits as provided as part of the public hearing staff report, exhibits submitted during the public hearing on September 19, 2019 and all information contained in DSD case file RZ2019-0019/SD2019-0020.

Conclusions of Law For this request, the Planning and Zoning Commission finds and concludes the following regarding the Standards of Review for a Zoning Amendment (§07-06-05):

A. Is the proposed zone change generally consistent with the comprehensive plan?

Conclusion: The proposed zone change is consistent with the 2020 Canyon County Comprehensive Plan.

Finding: The proposed rezone is consistent with the Future Land Use Map which has this area designated as “residential”. The proposed zoning of “R-1” (Single Family Residential) is consistent with multiple goals and policies of the 2020 Canyon County Comprehensive Plan including but not limited to:

o Property Rights Policy No. 1: “No person shall be deprived of private property without due process of law.”

Notice of the public hearing was provided as per CCZO §07-05-01.

Page 6: Planning and Zoning Staff Report Black – Rezone (RZ2019 ... · TAZ j. Nitrate Priority 5. Idaho Transportation Department Letter - PH2017-70: Rezone of parcel R38224010 from “A”

Black EXHIBIT 1RZ2019-0019

o Public Services, Facilities and Utilities Policy No. 3: “Encourage the establishment of new development to be located within the boundaries of a rural fire protection district.”

The parcel is located within the jurisdiction of Middleton Fire District. The district did not submit a comment regarding the rezone. Fire protection measures are provided as part of the preliminary plat (SD2019-0020).

o Population Policy No. 3: “Encourage future population to locate within areas that are conducive to residential living and that do not pose an incompatible land use to other land uses.” Canyon County Comprehensive Plan designates the future land use of the subject parcel

and surrounding area as “residential: which is also consistent with the City of Middleton’s Comprehensive Plan.

The parcel is considered prime farmland, if irrigated. However, the parcel is currently zone “R-R” (Rural Residential, two acre average lot size) and surrounded by similar residential zones and/or residential subdivisions. Therefore, retaining agricultural use on the parcel would be incompatible with the residential growth pf the area.

The parcel is located within Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) #2131 (320 acre area) surrounded by TAZ 2132 and 2162. The zones forecast household growth to increase 139 households within each zone between 2019 and 2040. Therefore, the rezone is located within an area where residential growth is anticipated.

o Land Use Policy #1: – “Coordinate planning and development with applicable highway district and health officials.”

Canyon Highway District #4 and ITD Idaho Transportation Department do not oppose the request. Right-of-way dedication and road and frontage improvements will be approved as part of the preliminary plat (SD2019-0020) and improvements installed prior to final plat approval.

The applicant has an agreement with the City of Middleton to provide water and sanitary services subject to annexation deferral.

o Land Use – Residential Policy #1: “Encourage high density residential in areas of city impact.”

The parcel is located within the City Impact Area of Middleton and approximately 450 feet west of the city limits. The City’s Future Land Use Map designates the parcel as “residential”. The result of the rezone would provide a 26 residential lot subdivision (SD2019-0020) to be developed. City of Middleton supports the rezone and subsequent subdivision and has agreed to provide city services to the future development.

o General Public Services Implementation Action: “Where feasible, subdivisions within the city area of impact should be connected to city water and/or sewer.”

The applicant has an agreement with the City of Middleton to provide city services for Black Acres Subdivision (SD2019-0020), a 26 residential lot subdivision proposed for the subject parcel.

B. When considering the surrounding land uses, is the proposed zone change more appropriate than the current zoning designation?

Conclusion: The proposed zone change is more appropriate as the current zoning designation.

Finding: The property is currently zoned “R-R” (Rural Residential, two acre average minimum lot size). Based on previous rezones approved in the area and residential subdivisions surrounding the subject parcel, the “R-1” zone is more appropriate.

The following rezones were previously approved in the area:

Black EXHIBIT 1RZ2019-0019

D. Will the proposed use negatively affect the character of the area? What measures will be implemented to mitigate impacts?

Conclusion: The proposed use will not negatively affect the character of the area and no mitigation is proposed or warranted at this time.

Finding: The rezone from an “R-R” zone to an “R-1” zone will not impact the character of the area. Future development will consist of 26 residential lots with a 0.50 acre average lot size (SD2019-0020). The result is consistent with existing lot sizes within approved subdivisions north of Purple Sage Road and within the city limits of Middleton (Crossing Meadow Park, Meadow Park Estates #1). Required improvements, such as connection to city services, right-of-way dedication, road improvements, fire hydrants, pressurized irrigation and stormwater management are required to be consistent with County and affected agency requirements and installed/completed prior to final plat approval.
