Property owners Gary & Kathy Olsen are looking to subdivide the property and applicants are proposing a private road. They are requesting to waive the paving requirement and landscaping on the frontage road, as the homeowners/applicants do not want to disturb the established vegetation, however, A 30-foot ingress and egress from CanAda would be paved.

Nickel and Mayor Chadwick met with the developer regarding concerns the developer had with the irrigation district and the neighboring property to the north. It was agreed at the meeting that city is in a better position to negotiate with the irrigation district, neighbors, and fire district in getting a bridge across irrigation ditch and will work on this. The developer will still be responsible for parking in the cul-de-sac. Once the city receives the deed and $60,000, the developer will be released from conditions and the city can move forward with improvements.

The project would be done in phases, and she requested resources including a water source, storage for large ladder, paints, and scaffolding or cherry picker. Councilmember Nielsen expressed concerns about providing resources because the city doesn’t own the building and Salmonsen confirmed that the Board of Senior Center has approved the project. The goal of the project is to bring some public art to the city. Fraser asked about city insurance coverage for the project and Mayor Chadwick said the City Clerk would look into what was required.

Box 8389 Boise, Idaho 83707 By email to: [EMAIL REDACTED] and by regular U.S. mail to: City of Star Attn: Shawn Nickel P.O. Box 130 Star, ID 83669 Re: Canvasback Subdivision/ File # FP-21-14 Final Plat Plat Dear Mr. Nickel: (208) 861-4657 I again write as attorney for the HRM pipeline, (HRM) an Idaho lateral water user association. The HRM delivers irrigation water from the Farmers Union canal to the property being developed as Canvasback subdivision as well as a number of other water users in the area. On September 4, 2020 I wrote a comment letter to you regarding the proposed subdivision which stated the HRM has certain requirements which included, but were not limited to, the following: 1. The developer/property owner must recognize irrigation rights-of-way for cleaning, maintenance and repair of the HRM delivery ditches and pipeline. The HRM has rights-of-way granted by State law. The sizes of those rights- of-way vary depending on the location, size and type of delivery structure or method of conveyance of water delivered to its water users. The HRM maintains a right-of-way of at least 10 feet on each side of its buried pipelines. Open ditch rights-of-way differ depending on a number of factors such as the width of the ditch and geographic features on or near the ditch. Idaho law provides no improvements including but not limited to, fences, structures, roads, pipelines or other construction is to be placed in the HRM rights-of- way without written permission from the HRM. The HRM strongly recommends rights-of-way be platted as common area lots to prevent encroachment or unauthorized improvements in the right-of-way by lot owners. The HRM should be contacted to determine specific rights-of-way the HRM has for its ditches and pipelines. 2. No change in the point of diversion or place of use of the water is allowed unless approved by the HRM. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3. Any construction activities, including road or other construction must be completed at times and in a manner so as not to interfere in any way with the IIRM's delivery of water or cleaning, maintenance, and repairs to its pipes and ditches. 4. In most circumstances, the HRM requires subdivisions install a pressurized irrigation system. Any such system should be pre-approved by the FIRM. 5. Pursuant to Idaho law, the written permission of the HRM must be obtained before any ditch or canal is buried in irrigation pipe by any land owner. Written permission must also be obtained from the HRM to relocate or change the location of any existing ditch, canal or pipeline. The plans received by the HRM do not comply with the above requirements in a number of respects. Most importantly the developer plans to relocate much of the HRM delivery system which has not been approved by the FIRM and will not be allowed. The proposed development does not protect the ability of the HRM to deliver water to other water users adjacent to and near the proposed development. No pressurized irrigation pump station plans have been provided to the HRM by the developer. Simply stated, the developer is proposing significant changes to the HRM pipeline water delivery system which have not been approved by the HRM and will not be approved as designed. As stated above in paragraph number 5, Idaho law requires the HRM approve the placement of any ditch in pipe and/or any change in the location of any existing ditch or pipeline. If you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please feel free to contact me. cerely, A.

First let me say that I think Mayor Chadwick is doing a very good job as Mayor. I do know he puts in a lot of hours and I think he has accomplished a lot. I like him personally. I have no issue with him getting a salary increase but I think $90,000-$110,000 per year is excessive for city the size of Star. I’ve heard the arguments that other cities have more staff so our mayor takes on more responsibility. Regardless, I do not know how you justify a salary at $90-$110,000 for a town with a population of approximately 12,000 people. I worked for county government for over 30 years so I’m quite familiar with government salaries. I would think that $85,000 would be the maximum salary for a mayor in a town like Star. Yes, the mayor is doing a great job now but what happens when the next person runs and wins. Do you think Gary Smith would be worth $90 to $110,000? Never say never. I’m pretty sure everyone’s mind is made up but I still want to go on record as saying I think a maximum of $85,000 would be very reasonable.

First let me say that I think you are doing a very good job as Mayor. I do know you put in a lot of hours and I think you have accomplished a lot. I like you personally. I have no issue with you getting a salary increase but I think $90,000- $110,000 per year is excessive for city the size of Star. I’ve heard the arguments that other cities have more staff so you take on more responsibility. Regardless, I do not know how you justify a salary at $90-$110,000 for a town with a population of approximately 12,000 people. I worked for county government for over 30 years so I’m quite familiar with government salaries. I would think that $85,000 would be the maximum salary for a mayor in a town like Star. Yes, you are doing a great job now but what happens when the next person runs and wins. Do you think Gary Smith would be worth $90 to $110,000? Never say never. I’m pretty sure everyone’s mind is made up but I still want to go on record as saying I think a maximum of $85,000 would be very reasonable.

This morning I prepared a card to send to you thanking you for your attendance at the meeting last night. I am open pretty much anytime to meet with the public. (weekends is about the only exception). You spoke that you work business hours too, so I will extend an invitation if you would ever like to get together to talk, just let me know and I can meet after hours. I can not take much credit for the budget proposal. I can tell you that next year’s budget will be very surprising to everyone. The software that we are using to track funds (Quickbooks) is not set up for governmental accounting. I have been working on getting actual software that is designed with the transparency and audit trails necessary to make sure that if there is any misrepresentation it can be caught quickly.

Please email a date and time you would like to meet. I do not know who SCU is. Forgive me, this acronym is foreign to me. I am not sure of Mr. Hershey’s availability. In regard to ordinance 339-2021, just because it was given a number and placed on the agenda has no legal bearing, weather left on the agenda or removed. No action was taken on the item. I placed the item on the agenda and had my staff upload it for the packet so the council could see the item and review. I did not expect them to necessarily act on it at that meeting. They had discussed it on June 30 in the budget workshop held. In regard to Mr. Keyes Nextdoor comments, I am not a member of next door and will not comment on comments I have not seen. I routinely assign ordinance numbers to drafts so that we can keep track of them. My office is about transparency, appropriate and respectful public involvement, public education, best management practices, procedure development and execution. - jmac From: GARY SMITH <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Sent: Friday, August 13, 2021 9:00 AM To: Jacob Qualls <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Cc: David Hershey <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Subject: City of Star Budget Jacob, As the City Clerk for the City of Star I am asking you to hold an investigation of the proceedings of this year budget meetings, discussions and publications. My reasons for asking that the City table the upcoming budget meeting approval until I and other citizens can meet with you and the Council President to review the time line. Our reasons for this request. 1. On July 19th at 8:45 PM the City web page still had the upcoming city agenda that included City Ordinance # 339-2021 to be presented to the council and voted on. 2. SCU published that ordinance copy from the City web page on July 19th at 8:45 PM. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2 3. Citizens told me that on the morning of July 20th it was still on the City web site. 4. On July 20th at the Star City Council I and other citizens met the Mayor at the door to City Hall Chamber and when we asked the Mayor he told us that was a “mistake”? That is was now tabled until the Aug 3rd. That being Ordinance #339-2021. I am asking that you and the Council President investigate and meet with the citizens in question who spoke with the Mayor and what he said, to review all discussions that the council members had about the change to the agenda, the timing and why. Further more Councilmen Keyes now states on Next Door that it was a working number? The attached ordinance was not a working number, it was prepared by the council drafted, reviewed by the Mayor, sent to all the council members a week before as part of their council package for all to read. Based on the published information and statements by the Mayor and now Councilman Keyes I am asking to meet with you and the City Council President before the Aug 17th meeting for clarification of this year’s budget process. I am not accessing anyone of wrong doing, that is up to you and the City Council President to decide. Since the budget review is still open this is my request per the City’s request for input on the budget. Gary Smith 258 S Langer Lake Way Star , ID 83669 [PHONE REDACTED] Mr. Keyes is wrong. It was in the City Agenda for July 20th to be voted on. SCU saw it put it out on FB for all to see and just before the meeting because of public out cry the Mayor and Council took it down. If SCU had not brought it to the attention of the community they could have passed it at $100K and it would have been a line item in the budget and already a city ordinance in my opinion. Folks Mr. Keyes is not telling the truth in my opinion and they are trying to pull the wool over your eyes just like the salary they are asking for. To publish a City Ordinance like this one it is discussed by all including the Mayor, council and City Clerk. The Mayor approves the agenda before it is sent out and the council all get it a week before. This was not a mistake - they were caught and I am asking for a full investigation by the City Clerk and the Council President. Michael Keyes • Pinewood Lakes Robbie Destocki One of the councilmen at the workshop had proposed a higher number. It was not universally supported by the council. It came out of the workshop as a "working number". It was not ultimately adopted into the budget. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3 ---PAGE BREAK--- 1 Jacob Qualls From: Doug Dilks <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Sent: Friday, August 13, 2021 11:53 AM To: Jacob Qualls Subject: Budget Morning, There’s a lot of discussion going on concerning the budgeting in and pay of a full time Mayor. Obviously Mayor Chadwick has done a wonderful job and benefited from massive growth. If he was in the private sector what would his bonus be ?Hmm ? I think the City of Star will benefit from a paid full time Mayor and also keep us on par and competitive with surrounding Cities.The Mayor of Star wears several hats and fulfills multiple job duties.What would the cost be to hire personnel to do all theses jobs ?

CODE DEFINITIONS / COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE: 8-1B-1: ANNEXATION AND ZONING; REZONE: B. Standards: 1. The subject property shall meet the minimum dimensional standards of the proper district. 2. The city may require a development agreement in conjunction with the annexation and zoning, or rezone, pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-6511A, which may include a concept plan. In addition to other processes permitted by city and state code, exceptions or waivers of standards, other than use, may be permitted through execution of a development agreement. A development agreement and concept plan shall be required for any rezone to a mixed-use zone, high density zone or land which includes steep slope (land over 25%) or floodway. 3. The termination of a development agreement shall result in the reversal of the official zoning map amendment approval and applicable development approval for any undeveloped portion of property subject to the development agreement. The undeveloped property subject to the ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 4 development agreement shall be rezoned to the district classification as designated by the development agreement. When no designation is provided, the property shall revert to its original zoning or, if the original designation no longer exists, to the closest current equivalent zoning as determined by the current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation. 4. An amendment or termination of a previously recorded development agreement shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder by the clerk. 5. An approved development agreement must be executed within ninety (90) days of the meeting at which the development agreement is approved by the city council. A one-time administrative extension of maximum thirty (30) days may be granted by the zoning administrator. Additional extensions may be approved by majority vote of the city council. Failure to execute the development agreement within the required timeframe will result in the denial of all related applications. C. Required Findings: The council shall review the application at the public hearing. In order to grant an annexation and zoning or rezone, the council shall make the following findings: 1. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan; 2. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district; 3. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare; and 4. 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. 5. The annexation (as applicable) is in the best interest of city. 8-3A-1: ZONING DISTRICTS AND PURPOSE ESTABLISHED: R RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT: To provide regulations and districts for various residential neighborhoods. Gross density in a Residential district shall be determined according to the numeral following the R. The numeral designates the maximum number of dwelling units per acre. In zoning designations of R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5, housing shall be single family detached unless approved with a PUD or development agreement. Connection to municipal water and sewer facilities are required for all subdivision and lot split applications submitted after the effective date hereof in all districts exceeding one dwelling unit per acre. Wells and septic systems may be permitted for larger lots in this land use designation that are not adjacent to municipal services, as determined by the Sewer District, and if approved by the applicable Health Department. Private streets may be approved in this district for access to newly subdivided or split property. This district does allow for some non-residential uses as specified in 8-3A-3. ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 5 C-2 GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT: To provide for the establishment of areas for commercial uses allowed in other commercial zones and commercial uses which are more intensive than those permitted in other commercial zones, and typically located adjacent to arterial roadways and not immediately adjacent to residential, including the establishment of areas for travel related services such as hotels, motels, service stations, drive-in restaurants, offices, limited warehousing, commercial services and retail sales. MU MIXED USE DISTRICT: To provide for a mixture of uses which may, at the sole discretion of the Council, include office, commercial, and/or residential depending upon the specific comprehensive plan area designated as Mixed Use. Development within this zone is to proceed through the PUD process unless a development agreement has already been executed for the particular property. Identifying areas for mixed-use development has two objectives. The first objective is to give the city a better tool to manage the type of developments through the planned unit development and/or the Development Agreement process. The second objective is that this zone may allow the development community to be more innovative in design and placement of structures subject to Council review and approval. Rezoning within this land use designation is to be strictly monitored by the city to assure that the Mixed-Use areas are not being used simply to justify high density residential use. Residential uses may be part of an overall mixed-use development that includes a non-residential component and may not exceed 30% of the overall size of the development. DA DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT: This designation, following any zoning designation noted on the official zoning map of the city C-2-DA), indicates that the zoning was approved by the city with a development agreement, with specific conditions of zoning. PS PUBLIC/SEMIPUBLIC: To provide for the development of such uses as golf courses, parks, recreation facilities, greenways, schools, cemeteries, and public service facilities such as government offices and utilities. All development within this land use is encouraged to be designed to accommodate the different needs, interests, and age levels of residents in matters concerning both recreation and civil activities. 8-3B-3: ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT STANDARDS - RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS: When development is planned with lots that directly abut existing lots within a Rural Residential area, or “Special Transition Overlay Area” as shown on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use map, an appropriate transition shall be provided for the two abutting residential lot types. A transition shall take into consideration site constraints that may exist and may include clustering of the urban lots in order to provide an open space area avoiding urban lots directly abutting rural residential lots, or may include the provision of a buffer strip avoiding urban lots directly abutting rural residential lots, or may include setbacks within the urban lots similar to the rural residential lots directly abutting, or may include the provision of one half to one acre size lots directly abutting the rural residential lots. ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 6 8-3E-1: MU MIXED USE DISTRICT: ADDITIONAL MIXED-USE DISTRICT STANDARDS A. Comply with Section 8-3A-1: ZONING DISTRICTS AND PURPOSE ESTABLISHED B. All development applications within a mixed-use district shall be accompanied by a conditional use permit, planned unit development, or development agreement application, which shall include a concept plan of the development. C. The administrator shall make a recommendation to the applicant regarding what mix of uses are appropriate for any mixed-use development and shall then make a recommendation to the Council. D. The development shall include uses from two or more of the land use categories such as residential, commercial, office, light industrial, public space or agricultural. E. Mixed-use areas along state highways, where adequate access can be provided for commercial use, shall be predominantly commercial with a very minor component of residential unless the residential is placed on upper floors as part of a mixed-use building. F. For any mixed-use development which includes a residential component, a minimum of two housing types, including but not limited to, single-family detached dwellings, single family attached dwellings and multi-family dwellings, shall be required. This excludes multi-family that is proposed to be placed solely on upper floors as part of a mixed-use building. G. The Council may place requirements on a mixed-use development, including a ratio of uses and/or timing of phases, to ensure that the overall development maintains its mixed-use intent. 8-3A-3: USES WITHIN ZONING DISTRICTS The following table lists principal permitted accessory uses conditional or prohibited uses. ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 7 ZONING DISTRICT USES - RESIDENTIAL A R-R R Accessory structure A A A Dwelling: Multi-family 1 N N C Secondary 1 A A A Single-family attached N N C Single-family detached P P P ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 8 ZONING DISTRICT USES USES C-2 MU Accessory structure - Residential or Commercial A C/P Adult business/adult entertainment N N Agriculture, forestry, fishing N N Airport N N Animal care facility 1 P C Artist studio1 P P Arts, entertainment, recreation facility1 P C Asphalt plant 1 N N Auction facility C C Automated Teller Machine (ATM) 1 A A Automotive hobby 1 N A Automotive mechanical/electrical repair and maintenance P C Bakery- Retail or Manufacturing P P/C Bar/tavern/lounge/drinking establishment P C Barbershop/styling salon P P Bed and breakfast P C Beverage bottling plant N N Boarding house N C Brewery/Distillery P C Brewpub/Wine Tasting P C Building material, garden equipment and supplies P C Campground/RV park 1 N C Caretaker Unit 1 A A Cement or clay products manufacturing N N Cemetery 1 N N Chemical manufacturing plant 1 N N Child Care center (more than 12) 1 C C Child Care family (6 or fewer) 1 A A ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 9 Child Care group (7-12) 1 C C Child Care-Preschool/Early Learning1 C C Church or place of religious worship1 P P Civic, social or fraternal organizations P C Concrete batch plant 1 N N Conference/convention center P C Contractor's yard or shop 1 N N Convenience store P C Dairy farm N N Drive-through establishment/drive-up service window 1 P C Dwelling: Multi-family 1 N C Secondary 1 N C Single-family attached N C Single-family detached N C Two-family duplex N C Live/Work Multi-Use 1 N C Educational institution, private C C Educational institution, public C C Equipment rental, sales, and services P C Events Center, public or private (indoor/outdoor) C C Fabrication shop P N Farm N N Farmers' or Saturday market C C Feedlot N N Financial institution P C Fireworks Stands P P Flammable substance storage N N Flex Space P C ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 10 Food products processing C N Fracking N N Gasoline, Fueling & Charging station with or without convenience store 1 P C Golf course C C Government office P C Greenhouse, private N A Greenhouse, commercial P C Guesthouse/granny flat N C Healthcare and social services P C Heliport N N Home occupation 1 N A Hospital P C Hotel/motel P C Ice manufacturing plant N N Industry, information P C Institution P C Junkyard N N Kennel C C Laboratory P C Laboratory, medical P C Lagoon N N Laundromat P P Laundry and dry cleaning P C Library P N Manufactured home 1 N C Manufactured home park 1 N N Manufacturing plant C N Meatpacking plant N N ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 11 Medical clinic P P Mining, Pit or Quarry (excluding accessory pit) 1 N N Mining, Pit or Quarry (for accessory pit) 1 A A Mortuary P C Museum P P Nursery, garden center and farm supply P C Nursing or residential care facility 1 P C Office security facility P C Parking lot/parking garage (commercial) C C Parks, public and private P P Pawnshop P P Personal and professional services P P Pharmacy P P Photographic studio P P Portable classroom/modular building (for private & public Educational Institutions) C C Power plant N N Processing plant N N Professional offices P C Public infrastructure;

Developments with a density of less than 1 dwelling units per acre may request a reduction in total required open space and amenities to the Council. Developments with a density of less than 2 dwelling units per acre may request a 50% reduction in total required open space to the Council. 8-7-1: PURPOSE - PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS: A. The purpose of the planned unit development (PUD) requirements is to provide an opportunity for exemplary site development that meets the following objectives: 1. Preserves natural, scenic and historic features of major importance; 2. Allows for innovative design that creates visually pleasing and cohesive patterns of development; and 3. Creates functionally integrated development that allows for a more efficient and cost-effective provision of public services. B. It is not the intent that the PUD process be used solely for the purposes of deviation from the dimensional standards in the district, however deviations from dimensional and other standards within this title, may be approved by the council if the PUD incorporates design features that add to the overall design and quality of the proposed development. By allowing dimensional standard deviations, exceptions in land uses allowed and pre-approvals of specific uses as conditions of approval within the PUD application process, the City expects in return a unique ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 15 development that provides upgraded open space and amenities, mixed uses, multiple residential styles and superior site design. 8-7-4: STANDARDS – PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS: A. General Use Standards: 1. Deviations from Underlying District Requirements: Deviations from dimensional and other standards within this title, may be approved by the council if the PUD incorporates design features that add to the overall design and quality of the proposed development. The exception is that along the periphery of the planned development, the applicable setbacks as established by the district shall not be reduced. 2. Allowed Uses: Applicant may request that specific conditional use(s) be allowed in the district as principal permitted use(s) and up to twenty-five percent (25%) of non-permitted uses be allowed as permitted uses if the council finds that compatibility within the PUD, compatibility with adjacent planned uses and compliance with the intent of the comprehensive plan is provided. It is at the sole discretion of the Council to approve non-permitted uses within the development, including the maximum amount of those non-permitted uses. C. Residential Use Standards: 1. Housing Types: A variety of housing types may be included within a single planned development, such as attached units (townhouses, duplexes), detached units (patio homes), single-family and multi-family units, regardless of the district classification of the site, provided that the overall density limit of the district is maintained. A minimum of two housing types shall be provided for all PUD’s. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: 8.2.3 Land Use Map Designations: Neighborhood Residential: Suitable primarily for single family residential use. Densities in the majority of this land use area are to range from 3 units per acre to 5 units per acre. Densities not exceeding 1 to 2 units per acre are to be encouraged in areas of the floodplain, ridgeline developable areas, hillside developable areas, and where new residential lots are proposed adjacent to existing residential lots of one acre and larger where those existing larger lots are not likely to be subdivided in the future. Commercial Suitable primarily for the development of a wide range of commercial activities including offices, retail, and service establishments. Rezoning to this designation should not be ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 16 allowed unless adequate ingress/egress to major transportation corridors are assured. Light industrial uses may be considered at the discretion of the City Council without amending this plan. Mixed Use Generally suitable for a mixture of uses which may, at the sole discretion of the Council, include office, commercial, light industrial, and/or residential depending upon the specific area designated as Mixed Use. See Mixed Use Implementation Policies for specific criteria. Development within this land use designation is to proceed through the PUD and/or development agreement process. Identifying areas for mixed-use development has two objectives. The first objective is to give the city a better tool to manage the type of developments through the planned unit development and/or the Development Agreement process. The second objective is that this land use designation will allow the development community to be more innovative in design and placement of structures. Development design guidelines should also be established to guide development within mixed-use areas. Rezoning within this land use designation is to be strictly monitored by the city to assure that the Mixed-Use areas are not being used simply to justify high density residential use. 8.4 Objectives: • Implement the Land Use Map and associated policies as the official guide for development. • Manage urban sprawl in order to minimize costs of urban services and to protect rural areas. • Encourage land uses that are in harmony with existing resources, scenic areas, natural wildlife areas, and surrounding land uses. 8.5.3 Policies Related Mostly to the Urban Residential Planning Areas: A. The Neighborhood Residential Land Use is to encourage urban style development densities to limit urban sprawl. B. Low densities within the Neighborhood Residential Land Use are to be designed within the floodplain, ridgeline developable areas, hillside developable areas and where new residential lots are proposed adjacent to existing residential lots of one acre and larger where those existing larger lots are not likely to be subdivide in the future. 8.5.6 Policies Related Mostly to The Commercial Planning Areas ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 17 A. Assist in the provision of coordinated, efficient, and cost-effective public facilities and utility services, carefully managing both residential and non-residential development and design, and proactively reinforcing downtown Star’s role as the urban core while protecting existing property rights. B. Encourage commercial facilities to locate on transportation corridors. C. Locate neighborhood services within walking distance to residential development. D. Discourage the development of strip commercial areas. E. Maintain and develop convenient access and opportunities for shopping and employment activities. F. Commercial areas of five acres or less should be encouraged in residential land use designations with appropriate zoning to allow for commercial services for residential neighborhoods and to limit trip Such commercial areas should be submitted for approvals with a Conditional Use Permit or Development Agreement to assure that conditions are placed on the use to provide for compatibility with existing or planned residential uses. These areas should be oriented with the front on a collector or arterial street. G. Allow for some light industrial uses within the Commercial areas at the sole discretion of the City Council. 8.5.7 Policies Related Mostly to The Mixed-Use Planning Areas A. Council, at their sole discretion, shall determine what mix of uses are appropriate for any mixed-use area considering existing property owners rights. B. Development within the Mixed-Use Designation is to proceed through the CUP, PUD, and/or Development Agreement process, and a concept plan must be included with any such proposed use. C. In general, mixed-use areas along state highways should be predominantly commercial with a very minor component of residential unless the residential is placed on upper floors as part of a mixed-use building. D. Mixed use areas along state and U.S. Highways where direct access to the state highway is prohibited, like along State Highway 16 between State Highway 44 and US Highway 20/26, should be predominately residential with a minor component of neighborhood commercial, or light industrial if sufficient roadway access, by means of backage or other roads, to the State Highway is provided. ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 18 E. Mixed use areas located between commercial and residential land use designations are to provide a compatible transition between the higher intensity use of commercial and the lower intensity use of Estate and Neighborhood Residential. Uses for these mixed-use areas could include multi-family housing and or office related uses if determined by the Council through the public hearing process, to be appropriate 8.5.9 Additional Land Use Component Policies: • Encourage flexibility in site design and innovative land uses. • Work with Ada County Highway District (ACHD), Canyon Highway District #4 (CHD4), and Idaho Department of Transportation (ITD) for better coordination of roadway and access needs. • Support well-planned, pedestrian-friendly developments. • Dark sky provision should be adopted within the code to assure down style lighting in all developments and Star should consider joining the International Dark Sky Association. 18.4 Implementation Policies: F. Development Agreements allow the city to enter into a contract with a developer upon rezoning. The Development Agreement may provide the city and the developer with certain assurances regarding the proposed development upon rezoning. PROJECT OVERVIEW ANNEXATION & REZONE: The applicant is requesting approval of an annexation and rezone application to annex a total of approximately 139-acres and change the zoning designation on approximately 124 acres from Rural Urban Transitional (RUT) to Residential (R-3-P-DA), Commercial (C-2-P-DA) and Mixed-Use (MU-P-DA). The remaining area of approximately 15 acres is part of the annexation pathway from the east and north up to the recently annexed Stonebriar Subdivision and will be designated specific zoning designations by the City at the time of annexation. The proposed zoning district designations for Inspirado would allow for the future subdivision of the property with uses ranging from single family residential, multi-family residential, commercial and mixed- use. The property is located in an area that will be serviceable with central sewer and water provided by Star Sewer and Water District in the near future. Star Sewer and Water will be extending services along Star Road from the new sewer lift station at Joplin Road, completing construction on the west side of Star Road. The property will be accessed by existing and future public roadways. The rezone requests include a development agreement that will address future density and development standards along with approved zoning uses for the residential and ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 19 non-residential uses. Staff calculates the gross density for the single-family residential portion of the development as 61.48 acres (66.80 total residential acres minus 5.32 acres for the multi- family lots) with a density of 3.17 du/acre. This does not include the future multi-family dwelling density within this calculation. Including the future multi-family development area into the calculations would increase the overall density for the entire residential portion of the development of up to 4.5 dwelling units per acre (20 units/acre). If this is a correct calculation, Staff would recommend that an R-4 zoning designation be substituted. Regarding the three additional parcels that make up the annexation pathway to Stonebriar Subdivision, Staff recommends that the two Pioneer Irrigation District properties be zoned as PS Public/Semipublic zoning district, and the Brandt parcel be designated as R-3. These designations are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and/or existing uses of the properties. PRELIMINARY PLAT: The Preliminary Plat submitted contains a total of 227 lots, including 195 single family residential lots, 2 future multi-family residential lots, 1 commercial lot, 4 mixed-use lots and 24 common lots. The detached residential lots include a mixture of patio homes, custom homes and luxury homes on lots ranging in size from 5,500 square feet to 16,871 square feet. The lots will have access and frontage from public streets. All roads will be built to ACHD, City of Star and Star Fire District standards. The submitted preliminary plat is showing a 50 ft wide right of way with paved streets measuring 33 feet from back of curb to back of curb for all local streets with 5 feet wide detached sidewalks throughout the development. The UDC requires all streets to have a minimum street width of 36 feet. The Applicant has not provided documentation that street names have been obtained and approved. Applicant shall obtain and provide to the City street name approval documentation from the Ada County Street Naming Committee prior to signature of the final plat. The application states that proposed overall open space provided is 10.65 acres including 3.5 acres (33%) usable open space. The current Unified Development Code, Section 8- 4E-2 requires a development of this size to have a minimum of 9 site amenities. The applicant is proposing two main amenity areas (primary and secondary) including a community pool, 2 pickleball and two bocce ball courts, children’s play area with tot lot structure, shade ramada, picnic tables and benches, multiple pathways and connections and passive, open areas. The applicant is also proposing a primary entrance monument with a water feature. with a pocket park with a shade ramada and a pathway along the southern portion of the property along the hillside and wetland area. There will also be three ponds in the development. These amenities satisfy the code requirement for development amenities. Any future multi-family development shall meet additional landscaping and amenity requirements in Section 8-5-20 of the UDC at the time of future approval. ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 20 The Commercial and Mixed-Use lots are not planned for specific development at this time. Future review by Council and/or Staff will be necessary once uses are determined. If the applicant intends to request pre-approvals of any additional future Conditional Use permitted uses, not listed below, at this time, they should request so of the Council through the PUD process. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT The applicant has submitted a Planned Unit Development (PUD) with the application to assist with the multiple uses proposed within the development including residential, commercial and mixed use, and to provide for deviations to dimensional standards (setbacks) for some of the residential product. UDC Section 8-7-1 Planned Unit Developments states that “By allowing dimensional standard deviations, exceptions in land uses allowed and pre-approvals of specific uses as conditions of approval within the PUD application process, the City expects in return a unique development that provides upgraded open space and amenities, mixed uses, multiple residential styles and superior site design”. The PUD process also allows for the applicant to request approval of the multi-family dwelling component within the R-3 zoning district as part of the overall approval. Section 8-7-1 further states that “Allowed Uses: Applicant may request that specific conditional use(s) be allowed in the district as principal permitted use(s)”. In addition to the multi-family dwelling approval in the R-3, the applicant has proposed the following Zoning District Use allowances within the PUD as listed below. Staff is supportive of each of the requested allowances with the exception of the multi-family use in the Commercial District. Staff believes that the Commercial areas should be protected from future non- commercial development. ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 21 • 2.

The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of the Star Comprehensive Plan is to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the people of the City of Star and its Impact Area. Some of the prime objectives of the Comprehensive Plan include: ✓ Protection of property rights. ✓ Adequate public facilities and services are provided to the people at reasonable cost. ✓ Ensure the local economy is protected. ✓ Encourage urban and urban-type development and overcrowding of land. ✓ Ensure development is commensurate with the physical characteristics of the land. The goal of the Comprehensive Plan for Land Use is to encourage the development of a diverse community that provides a mixture of land uses, housing types, and a variety of employment options, social and recreational opportunities, and where possible provides an assortment of amenities within walking distance of a residential development. The Council must find compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district, specifically, the purposes statement. The City must find that the proposal complies with the proposed district and purpose statement. The purpose of the residential districts is to provide regulations and districts for various residential neighborhoods with gross densities in compliance with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan designation. Housing shall be single family detached unless approved with a PUD or development agreement. Connection to municipal water and sewer facilities are required for all subdivision and lot split applications in all districts exceeding one dwelling unit per acre. Private streets may be approved in this district for access to newly subdivided or split property. The purpose of the commercial district is to provide for the establishment of areas for commercial uses allowed in other commercial zones and commercial uses which are more intensive than those permitted in other commercial zones, and typically located adjacent to arterial roadways and not immediately adjacent to residential, including the establishment of areas for travel related services such as hotels, motels, service stations, drive-in restaurants, offices, limited warehousing, commercial services and retail sales. The purpose of the mixed-use district is to provide for a mixture of uses which may, at the sole discretion of the ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 25 Council, include office, commercial, and/or residential depending upon the specific comprehensive plan area designated as Mixed Use. Development within this zone is to proceed through the PUD process unless a development agreement has already been executed for the particular property. Identifying areas for mixed-use development has two objectives. The first objective is to give the city a better tool to manage the type of developments through the planned unit development and/or the Development Agreement process. The second objective is that this zone may allow the development community to be more innovative in design and placement of structures subject to Council review and approval. Rezoning within this land use designation is to be strictly monitored by the city to assure that the Mixed-Use areas are not being used simply to justify high density residential use. Residential uses may be part of an overall mixed-use development that includes a non-residential component and may not exceed 30% of the overall size of the development. 3. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare; and The Council must find that there is no indication from the material submitted by any political agency stating that this annexation and zoning of this property will be materially detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare. 4.

COUNCIL DECISION The Star City Council File Number AZ-21-09/DA-21-11/PUD-21-01/PP-21-12 for Inspirado Subdivision on 2021. ---PAGE BREAK--- July 29, 2021 Shawn Nickel Planning and Zoning Administrator City of Star, Idaho via email: [EMAIL REDACTED] RE: Inspirado, StarPointe and Oaklawn Crossing developments Dear Shawn, The public hearings on the Inspirado, StarPointe and Oaklawn Crossing developments are currently scheduled for August 17, 2021. As you are aware, we are still waiting on ITD’s and ACHD’s review of a traffic impact study (“TIS”) for the Inspirado development. To avoid further delay for the Oaklawn and StarPointe projects, we request that the City Council still hear those developments on August 17th as scheduled. StarPointe and Oaklawn Crossing are independent developments and they are ready to proceed in accordance with Star’s recently updated Comprehensive Plan. No TIS is required on either the StarPointe or Oaklawn Crossing developments. We also request the City Council continue to consider a portion of the Inspirado applications on August 17th – just the annexation/zoning, coupled with a development agreement that restricts any development on the site until the PUD and subdivision application can later be considered by the Council. Inspirado annexation is necessary to create an annexation path for StarPointe and Oaklawn Crossing. The Inspirado property also provides support for Star Sewer and Water District’s extension of utilities through this area, including by providing land for a needed water campus to serve the larger area with a higher-elevation water tank. We understand and support the City’s desires to have the transportation agencies’ comments on the TIS before considering specific development approvals on the Inspirado property. To accomplish this, we propose that any annexation and zoning be accompanied by a binding development agreement on the property providing that no development shall occur on the property until such time as the PUD and subdivision applications are approved by the Star City Council after a public hearing. The development agreement would further provide that the zoning is contingent upon Council’s approval of the PUD and subdivision. This will all occur after ITD and ACHD have an opportunity to provide comments on the TIS to the City. Thank you for considering this proposed solution to allow the StarPointe and Oaklawn Crossing developments to be considered without further delay.

State Street, Star, ID 83669 Re: Inspirado – Annexation, Rezone, Planned Unit Development, Preliminary Plat Dear Shawn, On behalf of Antonov Star Holdings, LLC, we are pleased to present you with the complete applications addressing the annexation, preliminary plat and rezone request from RUT to R-3-PUD, MU-PUD and C-2 PUD, associated with Ada County Assessor parcel S0420325855, S0420325800, S0420336300, S0420315200, S0420336500 and S0420428200. This application will be submitted as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow for the development of a unique mixed-use community, referred to as Inspirado, located on approximately 124.07 acres at the northeast corner of Star Road and Chinden Boulevard/US 26. After on-going coordination with City of Star planning staff and local neighbors, considering the City’s recent Comprehensive Plan Update and Zoning Code, our planning and development team has thoughtfully designed the Inspirado mixed-use development to include 195 single-family residential lots, 2 high-density residential lots, 24 common lots, 5 mixed-use lots and 1 commercial lot. The single-family residential portion of the development provides roughly 16% of its total area to open space with a large central amenity area and enhanced passive open space areas. The following narrative and supporting documents have been prepared for your review and approval. It should be noted that this developer is not only looking to create a high-quality community at Inspirado, but is also bringing forward the annexation, rezoning and development plans for the neighboring StarPointe and Oaklawn Crossing communities. This investment within the City of Star is a unique opportunity to take a wholistic approach to the planning of almost 180 acres located within this prime growth area. Having the ability to create compatible developments that take in the consideration of varying topography, access and property sizes all while ensuring a balance of housing types, mixture of uses, and a high-quality character, will be a benefit to the developments themselves and the City of Star. Thank you for your time and consideration. We believe that Inspirado will be a one-of-a-kind addition to the City of Star that will complement existing growth and provide new opportunities within the surrounding neighborhoods and area. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or require additional information. Sincerely, Deborah Nelson Keith Nichter Partner Planning Manager ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 2 PROJECT OVERVIEW Inspirado is located on approximately 124.07 acres located, within unincorporated Ada County and the City of Star’s Area of City Impact, at the northeast corner of Star Road and Chinden Boulevard/US 26. The subject Property and the surrounding parcels in this area are zoned Rural-Urban Transition (RUT) within the County. In addition to the coordinated annexation, the project team is requesting a concurrent preliminary plat and zoning of the property to R-3/MU and C-2-PUD to be consistent with the recently approved City initiated Comprehensive Plan update. The residential (R-3 PUD) portion of the property will include 195 single-family detached residential lots on 66.80 acres, allowing for a mix of patio homes, custom homes and luxury homes with varying widths ranging from 50’-90’ and depths ranging from 110’-140’ and 24 common lots to include community open space and amenities to be owned and maintained by a community homeowners association (HOA). The remaining acres include 5 mixed- use (MU) lots, 2 high density residential (R-3) lots and 1 commercial (C-2) lot. Figure 1. Vicinity Map CONFORMANCE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The updated City of Star Comprehensive Plan (December 2020) sets the stage for the Inspirado mixed-use development with the future land use designations of Neighborhood Residential, Mixed-Use and Commercial, as seen in Figure 2. City of Star Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. . Specifically, the Neighborhood Residential designation is “suitable primarily for single family residential use” with an acceptable density range of 3.01-5 units per acre while Mixed-Use and Commercial are “suitable for a mixture of uses” and a “wide range of commercial activities including offices, retail, and service establishments.” ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 3 These land use designations, as defined in the Comprehensive Plan, serve as a planning tool to assist the City in sustaining a reasonable growth and development pattern. Inspirado identifies these land use patterns consistent with the goals of the City of Star. With this direction, Inspirado has taken the following steps to ensure compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan and the following goals. Figure 2. City of Star Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map 5.3 Goal: Manage population growth consistent with community goals and objectives as expressed within the Comprehensive Plan. Enhance the quality and character of the community while providing and improving amenities and services. Response: Inspirado looks to implement a plan with a variety of housing opportunities for differing population needs. This variety can be seen through a range of products and lot sizes, ranging from large‐lot residential, custom homes, patio homes and multi‐family uses. 7.3 Goal: Enhance and develop Star’s economy which will build a stronger community. ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 4 Response: Inspirado will provide a mixture of uses including commercial, service, and residential developments all within one carefully designed and themed community. This will be a place where future residents truly can live, work and play with a focus on pedestrian connectivity to encourage walking. Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, Inspirado will concentrate appropriate commercial and office development onto relatively small amounts of land, along the main thoroughfares; and surrounded by housing and future consumers to help support these future commercial uses. The residential portion of Inspirado strengthens the market and generates investment momentum for the commercial development. “Residents need to have employment opportunities as well as a diverse choice of housing and retail services to maintain the city as a vital community.” Star Comprehensive Plan. 8.3 Goal: Encourage the development of a diverse community that provides a mix of land uses, housing types, and a variety of employment options, social and recreational opportunities, and where possible, an assortment of amenities within walking distance of residential development. Response: As mentioned above, Inspirado will be a true mixed-use community, allowing for a variety of housing and employment options. In addition, multiple large amenities including a community pool area, amenity structure, two pickleball courts, two bocce ball courts, children’s play area, tot-lot, shade ramadas, picnic tables and benches will all be centrally located to encourage walking and allow for community interactions and gatherings. These are key elements of both the Comprehensive Plan and the ongoing “South of the River” Sub Area Plan which is being developed by the City for the area planned to be the future downtown of Star and its future supporting periphery. Until the Sub Area Plan is adopted by the City, it has been determined that development will be permitted in accordance with the other sections of the Comprehensive Plan. Inspirado has been proactive to incorporate elements from the Sub Area Plan, to ensure compatibility, including the location of residential development along the bench that is separated from Chinden Blvd. by a curvilinear collector roadway, which provides connectivity and acts as a buffer to the mix of uses along the property’s busy frontages. Additionally, Inspirado will provide regional pedestrian connectivity along the proposed internal collector alignment, in the form of a shaded detached trail, to help facilitate an active community core and support the future mix of uses. 15.3 Goal: Encourage diverse developments that provide a mix of housing types and products and, where possible, an assortment of amenities within walking distance of residential development. Response: With a mix of single-family and multi-family residential on a range of lot sizes, Inspirado allows for an opportunity to develop a wide variety of housing ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 5 types, built around a central amenity, offering choices for all range of income groups and family sizes from young professionals to larger families to empty nesters. Inspirado will support the development of multi-family housing, incorporated within the proposed mixed-use parcels, to be close to transportation, employment and shopping areas and act as a transition between single-family housing and adjacent commercial and potential office uses. 18.3 Goal: The Star Comprehensive Plan and related ordinances are to be working documents used by citizens and city leaders to shape the future of Star. Response: The Planned Unit Development Ordinance (PUD) is one of many ways provided by the City to implement the Comprehensive Plan. Inspirado looks to incorporate the allowed variations in development requirements, subject to approval, to encourage the innovative development to address the growing demands of the community. These PUD regulations will encourage the conservation and more efficient use of open spaces and consistency in the development type and character of the proposed mixed of uses. APPLICATIONS The Inspirado project team has had on-going dialogue with the City of Star in regards to this Property, throughout the last year and through the City’s Comprehensive Plan update process, which included two pre-application conferences to discuss these proposals conducted on May 20, 2020 and February 18, 2021. A neighborhood meeting was held June 3rd, 2020 at the Star Community Church Meeting Room. The project team understands the importance that all citizen outreach and input plays in the development process. We are committed to encouraging and allowing residents and neighbors to express their questions and concerns, throughout the application process. ANNEXATION The Inspirado project team been working with the City of Star on a City-wide annexation path, from the existing Stonebriar subdivision to the northeast and through private property adjacent to Inspirado all of which provide a continuous path of annexation into the City of Star. A legal description has been prepared for the annexation (Appendix A) and the project team will continue to work with the City to solidify the annexation path throughout these approvals. Accompanying this annexation, Inspirado also seeks approval of a Planned Unit Development, to include the proposed concept ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 6 plan (Appendix B) and some minor proposed deviations to the base development standards (Figure Inspirado plans to adhere to the C-2 and MU district dimensional standards along with the majority of the required R-3 standards. The proposed deviations will allow for modified side yard setbacks, providing consistency among the varying lot types, and the clarification of the proposed 5’ side yard setbacks adjacent to the street where the project proposes common landscape tracts.

Front yard setback shall be measured from the face of the garage to the face of the sidewalk, allowing for 20 feet of parking on the driveway without overhang onto the sidewalk. 2. Interior side yard setbacks for lots with 50 feet or less of lot width shall be allowed 5 feet interior side yard setbacks for one and two-story structures. 3. All setbacks in the MU zone shall be a minimum 15 feet when adjacent to a residential use or zone. Figure 3. Amended Development Standards Additionally, consistent with Appendix C, Inspirado proposes deviations to Section 8-3A-3: Uses within Zoning Districts to incorporate modifications that will allow for multi-family development, limited in area, as a permitted use within R-3 and a conditional use within C-2. Within the R-3 development, multi-family will only be allowed within the identified high-density residential parcels (7.5 acres) up to a maximum of 10% of the overall gross R-3 zoning boundary. Also, within the MU district storage facilities will be permitted, consistent with the allowed C- 2 uses. These requested deviations to the base code will be justified through a higher quality of development as described in the required findings below. ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 7 8-7-5: REQUIRED FINDINGS: A. The planned unit development demonstrates exceptional high quality in site design through the provision of cohesive, continuous, visually related and functionally linked patterns of development, street and pathway layout, and building design. Response: Inspirado will be a high-quality development, as seen through its enhanced open spaces, monumentation, architectural character and site design. B. The planned unit development preserves the significant natural, scenic and/or historic features. Response: While no natural or historic features exist within the Inspirado boundaries, much focus has been given to the preservation of the Canal and its natural resources in its current alignment. Access will be provided over the canal to allow for proper spacing and connectivity to Star Road. Additionally, the scenic benefits of Inspirado’s location, along the bench, have been recognized in the location of view corridors and the placement of areas that allow public access to ensure those scenic views can be enjoyed by all. C. The arrangement of uses and/or structures in the development does not cause damage, hazard, or nuisance to persons or property in the vicinity. Response: The proposed uses are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and are compatible with the proposed uses to the North (Neighborhood Residential and Central Business District), East (Commercial), South (Commercial) and West (Commercial and Neighborhood Residential). Additionally, no modifications to the perimeter standards of the proposed zoning categories, chosen from the Comprehensive Plan Zoning Compatibility Matrix, are proposed to ensure proper and adequate buffers to the property in the vicinity. D. The internal street, bike and pedestrian circulation system is designed for the efficient and safe flow of vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians without having a disruptive influence upon the activities and functions contained within the development, nor place an undue burden upon existing transportation and other public services in the surrounding area. Response: In order to promote an active community core, the central community collector will act as the main pedestrian and vehicular connector between the proposed mix of uses. Access corridors throughout the development will allow for safe and easy access to community amenities and future employment and commercial services. A detached pedestrian trail, with an 8’ parkway strip will set pedestrians ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 8 back from the adequate travel lanes while providing an opportunity for shade cover along the proposed tree lined streets. E. Community facilities, such as a park, recreational, and dedicated open space areas are functionally related and accessible to all dwelling units via pedestrian and/or bicycle pathways. Response: The large 1.25-acre main central amenity will provide a convenient location for community engagement and gatherings amenities such as a community pool area, two pickleball courts, and two bocce ball courts. These areas will be surrounded by lush, attractive landscaping, and concrete pathways provide connectivity to multiple access points. Additional open spaces, including a 1-acre secondary amenity with a children’s play area, tot-lot, shade ramadas, picnic tables and benches, will provide alternative passive and recreational opportunities to cater to the preferences of the community residents. Overall, this additional enhanced open space and focus on pedestrian connectivity will make Inspirado a unique place to live, work and play. F. The proposal complies with the density and use standards requirements in accord with this title. Response: Inspirado has chosen proposed zoning categories the from Comprehensive Plan Zoning Compatibility Matrix that match the intent and densities of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use designations for this property. Perimeter dimensional standards will remain in place to ensure proper buffers and compatibility with the neighboring land uses and future development. G. The amenities provided are appropriate in number and scale to the proposed development. Response: The provided open space areas, including two 1+ acre parks, have been oversized to provide adequate opportunities for both recreational and passive amenities. These two main park areas will include amenities such as a community pool area, amenity structure, two pickleball courts, two bocce ball courts, children’s play area, tot-lot, shade ramadas, picnic tables and benches. H. The planned unit development is in conformance with the comprehensive plan. Response: Inspirado has been planned and coordinated with the City to ensure conformance with the recently approved Comprehensive Plan. Land uses, zoning categories and densities are consistent with the overall goal to create a unique mixed-use development. ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 9 ZONING Consistent with the City of Star Comprehensive Plan and the associated zoning compatibility matrix, Inspirado proposes three compatible zoning designations to accommodate this proposed distinct development. Inspirado is proposed to be developed as a Planned Unit Development with R-3 -PUD north of the internal collector, C-2 PUD located at the hard corner of the intersection at Star Road and Chinden Boulevard/US 26, and the remainder as MU-PUD along the Star Road and Chinden Boulevard/US 26 frontages. Consistent with the City of Star’s Future Land Use designations for the property, we believe that the proposed Inspirado rezoning fulfills the vision of the Comprehensive Plan and addresses a need for single-family residential and future mixed uses within the area. Figure 4. Existing Zoning Map Figure 5. Proposed Zoning Map ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 10 PRELIMINARY PLAT Annexation and zoning applications are accompanied by a concurrent preliminary plat application for the proposed single-family residential portion of the Inspirado development. The preliminary plat also designates the proposed multi-family, mixed-use and commercial development parcels. Consistent with the preliminary plat data below, the R-3 portion will consist of two high density residential lots, 195 single-family residential lots and 24 common lots containing the community open spaces and amenities. The five mixed-use lots and one commercial lot situated along the frontages of Chinden Boulevard and Star Road will allow for mixed-use and commercial development along with a generous open space buffer and an expansive pond adjacent to the residential parcel.

The community is well designed and will be constructed, operated, and maintained to be compatible and appealing in appearance while creating a great community in the City of Star. The proposed development will be a complementary addition to planned surrounding land uses. The current streets and planned future surrounding improvements are adequate and suitable to facilitate the anticipated traffic of this development and utility infrastructure is sufficient for the project. ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 11 The project team has been working with ITD, ACHD, and the City regarding traffic impact, access points and street standards, including alignment of the proposed collector roadway running east-west through the property and access points onto Star Road and Chinden Boulevard/US 26. The project team continue to work with the City and the transportation agencies to ensure proper access to support the commercial and mixed uses. All internal local streets will be 33’ from back of curb to back of curb within 50’ of public right-of-way. The collector roadway running east-west, and south to Chinden Boulevard/US 26 shall be 36’ from back of curb to back of curb within 68’ of public right-of-way. All proposed internal streets propose an 8’ parkway to create tree-lined streets and shaded walkways, creating a sense of arrival and character unique to Inspirado. Additional enhanced character will be created through the enforcement of community wide architectural and landscape standards. Quality development will be enforced through the development of structures, buildings, sites, and neighborhoods in a manner that results in a built environment that will endure as an asset to the community for future generations. ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS & SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING The architecture style of Inspirado, consistent with the character images below, will largely be a mix of contemporary forms and modern styles. An elegant and plentiful blend of materials ranging from stone to stucco and board-and-batten siding materials are planned with stylish natural colors. Figure 6. Patio Home Character Images ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 12 With a variety of housing types, the proposed Patio Homes will offer a smaller single- family residential option on a wide lot with a range of home sizes from 1,500- 3,000 square feet. Similar to the homes in the surrounding new developments, heights will be restricted to two-stories and a maximum building height of 35 feet. Custom home sites generally will offer a larger single-family residential option on a wide lot with a range of home sizes from 2,000-4,000 square feet. Similarly, heights will be restricted to two-stories and a maximum building height of 35 feet. Figure 7. Custom Homes Character Images Luxury home sites will offer the largest single-family residential option within Inspirado, on a +/-75’-90’ wide lot with a range of home sizes from 2,000-4,000 square feet. Heights here will also be restricted to two-stories and a maximum building height of 35 feet. ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 13 Figure 8. Luxury Homes Character Images Multi-Family development should promote a walkable, healthy neighborhood by engaging the street, offering sidewalks and pedestrian paths, and using attractive design that reflects the scale and character of adjacent buildings. Figure 9. Multi-Family Character ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 14 Commercial and mixed-use development within Inspirado will reduce reliance on automobiles, emphasize accessibility including pedestrian and bicycle connectivity and contribute to the creation of a sense of place to be both attractive and engaging. Commercial and mixed-use development will consider building design that is pedestrian in scale with the goal of creating identifiable places that enhance the character of the City of Star and incorporate sustainable principles that will allow Inspirado to flourish for years to come. Figure 10. Commercial Building Character Images ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 15 Figure 10b. Commercial Building Character Images cont. PROJECT AMENITIES AND OPEN SPACE The Inspirado Subdivision is planned to incorporate an appealing and extensive amenity package that will provide connectivity and many recreation opportunities within the community. At the major entry off of Star Road, residents are greeted with a large entry monument of cascading water over boulders into a receiving pond. A tree lined entry drive follows with multiple entries into the community itself. The community offers an abundance of open space. Overall, the development has over 15% of the required open space. Of the community open space, 33% is designated as usable and 67% is designated as passive. A variety of active open spaces and amenities are provided. The central amenity space offers a community pool area with plenty of opportunities to gather and socialize. Additionally, two pickleball courts and ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 16 two bocce ball courts are provided for active group play. The central amenity space is surrounded by lush, attractive landscaping, and concrete pathways provide connectivity to multiple access points. A second amenity space provides a children’s play area with structured tot lot, adjacent shade ramada, picnic tables and benches. The amenities selected are customized to current homebuyer preferences and contribute to creating a sense of community and quality of life amongst the future residents. Figure 11.

Inspirado is serviced by Star Elementary, Star Middle School, Eagle High School and Owyhee High School, which is planned to open in August of 2021. The local police department is located at City Hall and the Ada County Sheriff’s Department pays a proportionate share of the cost of the relevant facilities. The Star Fire District has one fire station currently located nearby at 11665 W. State Street. Also, within the planning area Star Fire District has a second station located at the northwest corner of Highway 44 and Kingsbury Road. UTILITIES Water and sewer service for the project is provided by Star Sewer Water District (SSWD). Water and sewer facilities in Star Road and Joplin Road - including a lift station on the north side of Joplin Road near the northwest corner of the project - are under construction by SSWD and will extend water and sewer service to the project site. This project will connect to an existing 21-inch sewer stub in Joplin Road and an existing 12-inch water stub at the Star Road and Joplin Road intersection. IRRIGATION Irrigation service for the project is provided Nampa Meridian Irrigation District via the Creason Lateral. Presently, the lateral runs northwesterly across the site and is piped to maintain service. ---PAGE BREAK--- INSPIRADO MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT 19 DRAINAGE Stormwater runoff is routed through the streets to multiple collection points across the site. Seepage beds or infiltration basins and forebays is provided at each concentration point for water treatment - see AHCD BMP-11. CONCLUSION The Inspirado mixed-use development will produce an attractive & well-designed community to the area. The development will provide a blend of appealing single- family homes, essential mixed-use and commercial opportunities, and substantial open space areas capturing the amazing views along the bench and the prime commercial corner. The proposed Planned Unit Development and R-3 PUD, MU-PUD and C-2 PUD zoning classifications align with the City’s goals and the planned growth. The site’s open spaces and amenities work together to create an active and interconnected community. Our design team has carefully considered the input of existing neighbors and service providers and believe with these positive characteristics, approval of the Inspirado mixed-use development is in the best interests of the City. Accordingly, the developer and design team respectfully request your approval of the annexation, rezone and preliminary plat applications for Inspirado. Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to working with the City of Star on the execution and deliverance of this high-quality project.

Ada County supports the application due to its compatibility with the Star Comprehensive Plan, as adopted by Ada County, which designates the site as a mixture of Multiple Use 1, Multiple Use 2 and Medium Density Residential. The proposal to include single-family and multi-family housing within the development is supported by Multiple Use Policy 2, which encourages diverse housing types and densities, and the proposed mix of residential and commercial development is compatible with Multiple Use Policy 6 which encourages residential uses near commercial uses. The proposal to set aside 13.4 acres as common area, which will include a swimming pool, clubhouse, playground, picnic areas, pickleball courts and pathways, is also compatible with Residential Policy 3 of the Star Comprehensive Plan which encourages neighborhood parks and open spaces to be provided within residential areas. The streets connections which are proposed to the south, east and west are supported by Goal 4.3 of the Ada County Comprehensive Plan which supports the development of local transportation systems that are well-connected both internally and to the regional transportation system, and Goal 4.3d which calls for new developments to provide stub streets that will connect to future developments on adjacent lands wherever possible. The additional sidewalk connections provided with the stub streets are also supported by Transportation Policy 9 of the Star Comprehensive Plan which encourages non-motorized pathways between residential areas to reduce vehicle trips and improve access for non-drivers. It is suggested that a pedestrian pathway be considered along the Canal as encouraged by Goal 1.2d of the Ada County Comprehensive Plan, which supports the enhancement of manmade drainage ways as valuable resources for recreational pathways and potential pedestrian and bicycle routes. Also, as the property does not currently abut city limits, it is important that approval of the development and associated annexation be contingent upon the subject properties first becoming contiguous to city limits. ---PAGE BREAK--- Thank you for this opportunity to provide feedback. Sincerely, Brent Moore, MCMP, AICP Community & Regional Planner Ada County Development Services ---PAGE BREAK--- 203010-410 11. No easements are listed for Block 11 Lots 3 and 5, but these lots have drainage basins on them. Easements will be required for these basins. 12. Historic irrigation lateral, drain, and ditch flow patterns shall be maintained unless approved in writing by the local irrigation district or ditch company. 13. Potable water cannot be used for irrigation purposes. A separate pressure irrigation system will be required. 14. Finish grades at subdivision boundaries shall match existing finish grades. Runoff shall be maintained on subdivision property unless otherwise approved. 15. 10-foot easements for pressure irrigation lines will need to be shown once the applicant determines the alignment location(s) for the facilities. Show all ditch and drainage easements. 16. Easements for sewer/water facilities will be required where placed outside of public right of way. We recommend that the conditions 1–9 listed above be addressed prior to approval of the Preliminary Plat. Any variance or waivers to the City of Star standards, ordinances, or policies must be specifically approved in writing by the City. Approval of the above-referenced Preliminary Plat does not relieve the Registered Professional Land Surveyor or the Registered Professional Engineer of those responsibilities.

Box 130 Star, ID 83669 RE: Inspirado Subdivision, PP-21-12 Dear Planners: Joint School District No. 2 (dba West Ada School District) has experienced significant and sustained growth in student enrollment during the last ten years. Applying our Student Generation Rate per SF dwelling unit, .1 per MF dwelling unit), to the Inspirado Subdivision we predict these homes, when completed, could house 137 school aged children. Approval of this development could affect enrollments at the following schools in West Ada District: West Ada School District supports economic growth. To meet the need for additional school capacity, West Ada School District will accept the donation of land appropriate for a school site. Passage of a bond issue will be required prior to the commencement of new school construction. Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school(s) as it may be necessary to bus students to available classrooms across the district. The safety of our students is our first and foremost priority. With this in mind, we ask that you encourage the developer to provide safe walkways, bike baths and pedestrian access for our students. School capacity and transportation is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508 - future development will continue to have an impact on the district’s capacity.

The Neighborhood Residential Land Use is to encourage urban style development densities to limit urban sprawl. B. Low densities within the Neighborhood Residential Land Use are to be designed within the floodplain, ridgeline developable areas, hillside developable areas and where new residential lots are proposed adjacent to existing residential lots of one acre and larger where those existing larger lots are not likely to be subdivide in the future. 8.5.4 Polices Related to the Special Transition Overlay Areas: A. Development adjacent to and within the Special Transition Overlay Area is to provide for an appropriate transition between existing and new home sites where new urban development is being planned adjacent to previously approved and constructed rural county developments of years past. B. Site layout is to provide for a transition in density and lot sizing with all policies regarding compatibility herein applying. C. Modified street sections, such as with no curbs gutters or sidewalks, should be encouraged for adjacent compatibility where determined appropriate. D. When an urban density residential development is planned with lots that directly abut lots within a Special Transition Overlay Area an appropriate transition is to be provided for the two abutting residential lot types. A transition must take into ---PAGE BREAK--- STARPOINTE SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-07/DA-21-09/PP-21-10 10 consideration site constraints that provide transitional lots and/or open space area avoiding urban lots directly abutting Special Transition Overlay Area lots. E. Larger setbacks should be required for new lots planned to abut existing Special Transition Overlay Area lots. 8.5.9 Additional Land Use Component Policies: • Encourage flexibility in site design and innovative land uses. • Work with Ada County Highway District (ACHD), Canyon Highway District #4 (CHD4), and Idaho Department of Transportation (ITD) for better coordination of roadway and access needs. • Support well-planned, pedestrian-friendly developments. • Dark sky provision should be adopted within the code to assure down style lighting in all developments and Star should consider joining the International Dark Sky Association. 18.4 Implementation Policies: F. Development Agreements allow the city to enter into a contract with a developer upon rezoning. The Development Agreement may provide the city and the developer with certain assurances regarding the proposed development upon rezoning.

State Street, Star, ID 83669 Re: StarPointe Subdivision– Annexation, Rezone, Preliminary Plat Dear Shawn, On behalf of W. West Development, we are pleased to present you with the complete applications addressing the annexation, preliminary plat and rezone request from RUT to R-3, associated with Ada County Assessor parcel S0419417750, S0419428100, S0419427800 and a portion of S0419428005. This proposed subdivision, referred to as StarPointe, is located on approximately 29.24 acres south of the southwest corner of Joplin Road and Star Road. After on-going coordination with City of Star planning staff and local neighbors, considering the City’s recent Comprehensive Plan Update and Zoning Code, our planning and development team has thoughtfully designed the StarPointe Subdivision to include 69 residential lots and 15 common lots. The development provides a generous 20.3% of its total area to open space with a large central amenity area and enhanced passive open space areas. The following narrative and supporting documents have been prepared for your review and approval. It should be noted that this developer is not only looking to create a high-quality community at StarPointe, but is also bringing forward the annexation, rezoning and development plans for the neighboring Inspirado and Oaklawn Crossing communities. This investment within the City of Star is a unique opportunity to take a wholistic approach to the planning of almost 180 acres located within this prime growth area. Having the ability to create compatible developments that take in the consideration of varying topography, access and property sizes all while ensuring a balance of housing types, mixture of uses, and a high-quality character, will be a benefit to the developments themselves and the City of Star. Thank you for your time and consideration. We believe the StarPointe community will be a great addition to the City of Star and will complement existing growth opportunities in the surrounding neighborhoods and area. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or require additional information. Sincerely, Deborah Nelson Keith Nichter Partner Planning Manager ---PAGE BREAK--- STARPOINTE SUBDIVISION 2 PROJECT OVERVIEW The StarPointe Subdivision is located on approximately 29.24 acres located, within unincorporated Ada County and the City of Star’s Area of City Impact, south of the southwest corner of Joplin Road and Star Road. The subject property and the surrounding parcels in this area are zoned Rural-Urban Transition (RUT) within the County. In addition to the coordinated annexation, the project team is requesting a concurrent preliminary plat and rezone of the Property from RUT to R-3 to be consistent with the recently approved City initiated Comprehensive Plan update. This residential zoning of the property will include 69 single-family detached residential lots, with widths ranging from 70’-90’ and depths ranging from 120’-140’, along with 15 common lots to include community open space and amenities to be owned and maintained by a community homeowners association (HOA). Figure 1. Vicinity Map CONFORMANCE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The updated City of Star Comprehensive Plan (December 2020) sets the stage for the StarPointe residential development with the future land use designation of Neighborhood Residential, as seen in Figure 2. City of Star Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. According to the Comprehensive Plan, the Neighborhood Residential designation is “suitable primarily for single-family residential use” and the proposed R-3 zoning district is listed as an allowed City classification within the Zoning Compatibility Matrix. This land use designation, as defined in the Comprehensive Plan, serves as a planning tool to assist the City in sustaining a reasonable growth and development pattern. StarPointe identifies this land use pattern consistent with the goals of the City of Star. With this direction, StarPointe has taken the following steps to ensure compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan and the following goals. ---PAGE BREAK--- STARPOINTE SUBDIVISION 3 Figure 2. City of Star Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map 5.3 Goal: Manage population growth consistent with community goals and objectives as expressed within the Comprehensive Plan. Enhance the quality and character of the community while providing and improving amenities and services. Response: StarPointe looks to implement a plan with a variety of housing opportunities for differing population needs. This variety can be seen through a range of products, from custom homes to varying sizes of large‐lot luxury residential homes. 7.3 Goal: Enhance and develop Star’s economy which will build a stronger community. Response: StarPointe will help provide additional rooftops necessary to strengthen the market and generate investment momentum within the surrounding “South of the River” Sub Area Plan, which is being developed by the City for the area planned to be the future downtown of Star and its future supporting periphery. StarPointe will contribute towards the Sub Areas goal of providing a diversity of residential neighborhoods to allow for Stars growth. StarPointe plays its role in this growth, seeing “residents need to have employment opportunities as well as a diverse choice of housing and retail services to maintain the city as a vital community.” Star Comprehensive Plan. 8.3 Goal: Encourage the development of a diverse community that provides a mix of land uses, housing types, and a variety of employment options, social and recreational opportunities, and where possible, an assortment of amenities within walking distance of residential development. ---PAGE BREAK--- STARPOINTE SUBDIVISION 4 Response: As mentioned above, StarPointe will allow for a variety of housing options. In addition, multiple large open spaces including lawn areas, a large pond with an activated fountain, a shade ramada, picnic benches, and a seat wall to overlook the pond, will all be centrally located to encourage walking and allow for community interactions and gatherings. These are key elements of both the Comprehensive Plan and the ongoing “South of the River” Sub Area Plan. Until the Sub Area Plan is adopted by the City, it has been determined that development will be permitted in accordance with the other sections of the Comprehensive Plan. Although, StarPointe has been proactive to incorporate elements from the Sub Area Plan, to ensure compatibility, including the location of residential development along the bench and the proposed collector roadway, which allows for future connectivity and acts as a buffer to the mix of uses planned to the south of the property. Additionally, StarPointe will provide regional pedestrian connectivity along this proposed internal collector alignment, in the form of a shaded detached trail, to help facilitate access to the future mixed-use and commercial developments. 15.3 Goal: Encourage diverse developments that provide a mix of housing types and products and, where possible, an assortment of amenities within walking distance of residential development. Response: With a mix of single-family residential lot sizes, StarPointe allows for an opportunity to develop a variety of housing types, built around a central amenity, offering choices for a range of income groups and family sizes from young professionals to larger families to empty nesters. 18.3 Goal: The Star Comprehensive Plan and related ordinances are to be working documents used by citizens and city leaders to shape the future of Star. Response: The Development Agreement is one of many ways provided by the City to implement the Comprehensive Plan. StarPointe looks to incorporate the necessary variations in development requirements, subject to approval, to encourage the innovative development to address the growing demands of the community. These variations will encourage the conservation and more efficient use of open spaces and consistency in the development type and character of the proposed housing types. APPLICATIONS The StarPointe project team has had on-going dialogue with the City of Star in regards to this Property, throughout the last year and through the City’s Comprehensive Plan update process, which included two pre-application conferences to discuss these proposals on May 20, 2020 and February 18, 2021. A neighborhood meeting was held on June 3rd, 2020 at the Star Community Church Meeting Room. ---PAGE BREAK--- STARPOINTE SUBDIVISION 5 The project team understands the importance that all citizen outreach and input plays in the development process. We are committed to encouraging and allowing residents and neighbors to express their thoughts, help them understand the proposal and attempt to address their questions and concerns. ANNEXATION The StarPointe project team been working with the City of Star on a City-wide annexation path, from the existing Stonebriar subdivision to the northeast through private property and the adjacent entitlement proposal of Inspirado, all of which provide a continuous path of annexation into the City of Star. The updated City of Star Comprehensive Plan anticipated these annexations and designated the property’s future land use as Neighborhood Residential (NR), suitable primarily for single family residential use. StarPointe proposes to create and annex a consistent residential community into the City of Star. The annexation will not negatively impact the provision of public services, public health, safety, or welfare. In addition, the annexation of this Property will unlock additional potential to the surrounding area and increase the already high-quality standard of life within the City of Star. A legal description has been prepared for the annexation (Appendix A) and the project team will continue to work with the City to solidify the annexation path throughout these approvals. Accompanying this annexation, StarPointe will also seek approval of a development agreement for the subject property to include the proposed concept plan (Appendix B) and some minor proposed amended development standards (Figure While StarPointe plans to adhere to the majority of the required R-3 standards, this proposed amended standard will allow for modified side yard setbacks and clarification of the proposed 5’ side yard setbacks adjacent to the street where the project proposes common landscape tracts.

Interior side yard setbacks for lots with 50 feet or less of lot width shall be allowed 5 feet interior side yard setbacks for one and two-story structures. Figure 3. Amended Development Standards ---PAGE BREAK--- STARPOINTE SUBDIVISION 6 ZONING The StarPointe community proposes a new zoning designation to accommodate this proposed upscale residential development. Currently, zoned in the County as Rural-Urban Transition (RUT), the development will be rezoned to the City of Stars Residential District Consistent with the City of Star’s Future Land Use designation for the property, we believe that the proposed StarPointe rezoning fulfills the vision of the Comprehensive Plan and addresses a need for a mix of single-family residential opportunities within the area. Figure 4. Existing Zoning Figure 5. Proposed Zoning Map ---PAGE BREAK--- STARPOINTE SUBDIVISION 7 PRELIMINARY PLAT The StarPointe annexation and zoning applications are accompanied by a concurrent preliminary plat application for the proposed development.

The community is well designed and will be constructed, operated, and maintained to be compatible with its surroundings and appealing in appearance, while creating another great community in the City of Star. The proposed development will be a complementary addition to planned surrounding land uses and the unique site context, taking advantage of the viewsheds provided by the change in topography along the northern bench The current streets and planned future surrounding improvements are adequate and suitable to facilitate the anticipated traffic of this development. Based on the configuration of the property, a second point of access will be provided as emergency access to Joplin Road, until the time future connectivity is available. The proposed StarPointe community, as further described below, is in conformance with the comprehensive plan, and utility infrastructure is sufficient for the project. ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS & SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING The architecture style of StarPointe, consistent with the character images below, will largely be a mix of contemporary forms and modern styles. An elegant and plentiful blend of materials ranging from stone to stucco and board-and-batten siding materials are planned with stylish natural colors. ---PAGE BREAK--- STARPOINTE SUBDIVISION 8 With a variety of housing types, the proposed custom home sites generally will offer a larger single- family residential option on a wide lot with a range of home sizes from 2,000-4,000 square feet. Similar to the homes in the surrounding new developments, heights will be restricted to two-stories and a maximum building height of 35 feet. Figure 6. Custom Homes Character Images ---PAGE BREAK--- STARPOINTE SUBDIVISION 9 Luxury home sites will offer the largest single-family residential option within Inspirado, on a +/-70’-90’ wide lot with a range of home sizes from 2,000-4,000 square feet.

Luxury Homes Character Images PROJECT AMENITIES AND OPEN SPACE The StarPointe Subdivision is planned to incorporate an appealing amenity package that will provide connectivity and recreation opportunities within the community. In addition, it has been designed to accommodate an attractive landscape buffer along Star Road, while also creating an abundant amount of open space. Overall, the development exceeds the required 15% open space requirement and provides a generous 20.3% of its total area to open space. Of the community open space, 44.2% of that is designated as usable and 55.8% of that is considered passive. Passive open spaces include open lawn areas, a ---PAGE BREAK--- STARPOINTE SUBDIVISION 10 large pond with an activated fountain, and an adjacent shade ramada with picnic benches and a seat wall to overlook the pond. Active areas include community sidewalks and open space corridors through the community, encouraging residents to stay active and to interact. Opportunities to sit and rest, or talk with a neighbor, are provided with bench seating. These amenities are customized to current homebuyer preferences and contribute to creating a sense of community among the future residents. Figure 8. Amenity Examples and Character Imagery ---PAGE BREAK--- STARPOINTE SUBDIVISION 11 Figure 9. Open Space Map SERVICES StarPointe is located within the West Ada School District. StarPointe is serviced by Star Elementary, Star Middle School, Eagle High School and Owyhee High School, which is planned to open in August of 2021. The local police department is located at City Hall and the Ada County Sheriff’s Department pays a proportionate share of the cost of the relevant facilities. The Star Fire District has one fire station currently located nearby at 11665 W. State Street. Also, within the planning area Star Fire District has a second station located at the northwest corner of Highway 44 and Kingsbury Road. UTILITIES Water and sewer service for the project is provided by Star Sewer Water District (SSWD). Water and sewer facilities in Star Road and Joplin Road - including a lift station on the north side of Joplin Road near the northwest corner of the project - are under construction by SSWD and will extend water and sewer service to the project site. This project will connect to an existing 21-inch sewer stub in Joplin Road and an existing 12-inch water stub at the Star Road and Joplin Road intersection. IRRIGATION Irrigation service for the project is provided Nampa Meridian Irrigation District via the Creason Lateral. Presently, the lateral runs northwesterly across the site and will be piped to maintain service. DRAINAGE Stormwater runoff will be routed through the streets to multiple collection points across the site. Infiltration basins and forebays will be provided at each concentration point for water treatment - see AHCD BMP-11. ---PAGE BREAK--- STARPOINTE SUBDIVISION 12 CONCLUSION As shown, the StarPointe development will introduce an attractive & well-designed community to the area. The development will provide a blend of appealing single- family homes and substantial open space areas with views. The proposed R-3 zoning classification aligns with the development’s goals and the City of Star’s planned growth. The site’s open spaces and amenities will work together to create an active and interconnected community. Our design team has carefully considered the input of existing neighbors and service providers and believe with these positive characteristics, approval of the StarPointe community is in the best interests of the City. Accordingly, the developer and design team respectfully request your approval of the annexation, rezone and preliminary plat applications for StarPointe. Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to working with the City of Star on the execution and deliverance of this high-quality project. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or require additional information.

The types and number of requirements that must be complied with under the federal Resource Conservations and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Idaho Rules and Standards for Hazardous Waste (IDAPA 58.01.05) are based on the quantity and type of waste generated. Every business in Idaho is required to track the volume of waste generated, determine whether each type of waste is hazardous, and ensure that all wastes are properly disposed of according to federal, state, and local requirements. • Water Quality Standards. Site activities must comply with the Idaho Water Quality Standards (IDAPA 58.01.02) regarding hazardous and deleterious-materials storage, disposal, or accumulation adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of state waters (IDAPA 58.01.02.800); and the cleanup and reporting of oil-filled electrical equipment (IDAPA 58.01.02.849); hazardous materials (IDAPA 58.01.02.850); and used-oil and petroleum releases (IDAPA 58.01.02.851 and 852). Petroleum releases must be reported to DEQ in accordance with IDAPA 58.01.02.851.01 and 04. Hazardous material releases to state waters, or to land such that there is likelihood that it will enter state waters, must be reported to DEQ in accordance with IDAPA 58.01.02.850. • Ground Water Contamination. DEQ requests that this project comply with Idaho’s Ground Water Quality Rules (IDAPA 58.01.11), which states that “No person shall cause or allow the release, spilling, leaking, emission, discharge, escape, leaching, or disposal of a contaminant into the environment in a manner that causes a ground water quality standard to be exceeded, injures a beneficial use of ground water, or is not in accordance with a permit, consent order or applicable best management practice, best available method or best practical method.” For questions, contact Albert Crawshaw, Waste & Remediation Manager, at (208) 373-0550. 6. ADDITIONAL NOTES • If an underground storage tank (UST) or an aboveground storage tank (AST) is identified at the site, the site should be evaluated to determine whether the UST is regulated by DEQ. EPA regulates ASTs. UST and AST sites should be assessed to determine whether there is potential soil and ground water contamination. Please call DEQ at (208) 373-0550, or visit the DEQ website deq.idaho.gov/waste-mgmt-remediation/storage-tanks.aspx for assistance. • If applicable to this project, DEQ recommends that BMPs be implemented for any of the following conditions: wash water from cleaning vehicles, fertilizers and pesticides, animal facilities, composted waste, and ponds. Please contact DEQ for more information on any of these conditions. ---PAGE BREAK--- Response to Request for Comment May 21, 2021 Page 5 We look forward to working with you in a proactive manner to address potential environmental impacts that may be within our regulatory authority.

This project does not abut the State Highway system. 2. ITD and the City of Star have entered into an interagency agreement to collect proportionate share from new developments to mitigate traffic impacts from incoming developments. Proportionate share for each development is calculated based off of number of trips added to State Highway system. The number of trips generated can be determined using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. ITD requires trip distribution information to determine where trips generated by developments access the State Highway system. 3. No trip distribution information was provided; without trip distribution information ITD must assume the worst case scenario that all trips generated will utilize the Star Road/ US-2026 intersection. The proposed subdivision is adding 70 trips to the Star Road/ US-2026 in the PM Peak at buildout. Proportionate share is based on the PM site trips through the intersection of US-2026/ Star Road which is approximately 0.84% percent of the traffic utilizing the intersection in 2040. The US-20/26 corridor study did not forecast AM peak hour trips so PM peak trips were used to calculate proportionate share. The construction of the cost of design, construction, and right-of-way for a future continuous flow ---PAGE BREAK--- IDAHO TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT P.O. Box 8028 • Boise, ID 83707-2028 (208) 334-8300 • itd.idaho.gov intersection (CFI) at the Star Road/ US-2026 is estimated to cost $15,675,134 (see attached). The applicant will only be responsible for contributing their proportionate share of $131,671 4. In order to provide a more accurate and potentially lower estimate, the applicant could provide ITD specific trip distribution numbers. ITD suggests the applicant contact COMPASS to have a model run conducted to determine trip distribution. ITD would be willing to accept trip distribution numbers provided by COMPASS or a licensed civil engineer. 5. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State Highway. 6. The Idaho Administrative Procedure Act (IDAPA) 39.03.60 governs advertising along the State Highway system. The applicant may contact Justin Pond, Right-of-Way Section Program Manager, at (208) 334-8832 for more information. 7. ITD objects to this development. ITD will remove the objection if the governing board requires, and the applicant agrees to, the execution of a Development Agreement with the City of Star binding the contribution of the proportionate share amount of $131,671. If you have any questions, you may contact me at (208) 334-8338.

The subject property shall meet the minimum dimensional standards of the proper district. 2. The city may require a development agreement in conjunction with the annexation and zoning, or rezone, pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-6511A, which may include a concept plan. In addition to other processes permitted by city and state code, exceptions or waivers of standards, other than use, may be permitted through execution of a development agreement. A development agreement and concept plan shall be required for any rezone to a mixed-use zone, high density zone or land which includes steep slope (land over 25%) or floodway. 3. The termination of a development agreement shall result in the reversal of the official zoning map amendment approval and applicable development approval for any undeveloped portion of property subject to the development agreement. The undeveloped property subject to the development agreement shall be rezoned to the district classification as designated by the development agreement. When no designation is provided, the property shall revert to its original zoning or, if the original designation no longer exists, to the closest current equivalent zoning as determined by the current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation. 4. An amendment or termination of a previously recorded development agreement shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder by the clerk. ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 4 5. An approved development agreement must be executed within ninety (90) days of the meeting at which the development agreement is approved by the city council. A one-time administrative extension of maximum thirty (30) days may be granted by the zoning administrator. Additional extensions may be approved by majority vote of the city council. Failure to execute the development agreement within the required timeframe will result in the denial of all related applications. C. Required Findings: The council shall review the application at the public hearing. In order to grant an annexation and zoning or rezone, the council shall make the following findings: 1. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan; 2. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district; 3. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare; and 4. 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. 5. The annexation (as applicable) is in the best interest of city. 8-1E-1: DEFINITIONS - TERMS DEFINED TRANSITIONAL LOT OR PROPERTY: The size of a new residential lot when being proposed adjacent to an established residential use. The ratio for lots adjacent to properties shall be determined on a case-by-case basis, when considering the size of the development potential for the existing use. This shall not be required if separated by an existing roadway or large canal where the distance between new structures and existing structures equal or exceed 100 feet. 8-3A-1: ZONING DISTRICTS AND PURPOSE ESTABLISHED: R RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT: To provide regulations and districts for various residential neighborhoods. Gross density in a Residential district shall be determined according to the numeral following the R. The numeral designates the maximum number of dwelling units per acre. In zoning designations of R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5, housing shall be single family detached unless approved with a PUD or development agreement. Connection to municipal water and sewer facilities are required for all subdivision and lot split applications submitted after the effective date hereof in all districts exceeding one dwelling unit per acre. Wells and septic systems may be permitted for larger lots in this land use designation that are not adjacent to municipal services, as determined by the Sewer District, and if approved by the applicable Health Department. Private streets may be approved in this district for access to newly subdivided or split property. This district does allow for some non-residential uses as specified in 8-3A-3. ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 5 MU MIXED USE DISTRICT: To provide for a mixture of uses which may, at the sole discretion of the Council, include office, commercial, and/or residential depending upon the specific comprehensive plan area designated as Mixed Use. Development within this zone is to proceed through the PUD process unless a development agreement has already been executed for the particular property. Identifying areas for mixed-use development has two objectives. The first objective is to give the city a better tool to manage the type of developments through the planned unit development and/or the Development Agreement process. The second objective is that this zone may allow the development community to be more innovative in design and placement of structures subject to Council review and approval. Rezoning within this land use designation is to be strictly monitored by the city to assure that the Mixed-Use areas are not being used simply to justify high density residential use. Residential uses may be part of an overall mixed-use development that includes a non-residential component and may not exceed 30% of the overall size of the development. DA DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT: This designation, following any zoning designation noted on the official zoning map of the city C-2-DA), indicates that the zoning was approved by the city with a development agreement, with specific conditions of zoning. 8-3A-3: USES WITHIN ZONING DISTRICTS The following table lists principal permitted accessory uses conditional or prohibited uses. ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 6 ZONING DISTRICT USES (RESIDENTIAL) A R-R R Accessory structure A A A Dwelling: Multi-family 1 N N C Secondary 1 A A A Single-family attached N N C Single-family detached P P P Two-family duplex N N P ZONING DISTRICT USES (MIXED-USE) MU Accessory structure - Residential or Commercial C/P Adult business/adult entertainment N Agriculture, forestry, fishing N Airport N Animal care facility 1 C Artist studio1 P Arts, entertainment, recreation facility1 C Asphalt plant 1 N Auction facility C Automated Teller Machine (ATM) 1 A Automotive hobby 1 A Automotive mechanical/electrical repair and maintenance C Bakery- Retail or Manufacturing P/C Bar/tavern/lounge/drinking establishment C Barbershop/styling salon P Bed and breakfast C Beverage bottling plant N Boarding house C ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 7 Brewery/Distillery C Brewpub/Wine Tasting C Building material, garden equipment and supplies C Campground/RV park 1 C Caretaker Unit 1 A Cement or clay products manufacturing N Cemetery 1 N Chemical manufacturing plant 1 N Child Care center (more than 12) 1 C Child Care family (6 or fewer) 1 A Child Care group (7-12) 1 C Child Care-Preschool/Early Learning1 C Church or place of religious worship1 P Civic, social or fraternal organizations C Concrete batch plant 1 N Conference/convention center C Contractor's yard or shop 1 N Convenience store C Dairy farm N Drive-through establishment/drive-up service window 1 C Dwelling: Multi-family 1 C Secondary 1 C Single-family attached C Single-family detached C Two-family duplex C ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 8 Live/Work Multi-Use 1 C Educational institution, private C Educational institution, public C Equipment rental, sales, and services C Events Center, public or private (indoor/outdoor) C Fabrication shop N Farm N Farmers' or Saturday market C Feedlot N Financial institution C Fireworks Stands P Flammable substance storage N Flex Space C Food products processing N Fracking N Gasoline, Fueling & Charging station with or without convenience store 1 C Golf course C Government office C Greenhouse, private A Greenhouse, commercial C Guesthouse/granny flat C Healthcare and social services C Heliport N Home occupation 1 A Hospital C Hotel/motel C ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 9 Ice manufacturing plant N Industry, information C Institution C Junkyard N Kennel C Laboratory C Laboratory, medical C Lagoon N Laundromat P Laundry and dry cleaning C Library N Manufactured home 1 C Manufactured home park 1 N Manufacturing plant N Meatpacking plant N Medical clinic P Mining, Pit or Quarry (excluding accessory pit) 1 N Mining, Pit or Quarry (for accessory pit) 1 A Mortuary C Museum P Nursery, garden center and farm supply C Nursing or residential care facility 1 C Office security facility C Parking lot/parking garage (commercial) C Parks, public and private P Pawnshop P Personal and professional services P ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 10 Pharmacy P Photographic studio P Portable classroom/modular building (for private & public Educational Institutions) C Power plant N Processing plant N Professional offices C Public infrastructure;

Densities not exceeding 1 to 2 units per acre are to be encouraged in areas of the floodplain, ridgeline developable areas, hillside developable areas, and where new residential lots are proposed adjacent to existing residential lots of one acre and larger where those existing larger lots are not likely to be subdivided in the future. ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 15 Mixed Use Generally suitable for a mixture of uses which may, at the sole discretion of the Council, include office, commercial, light industrial, and/or residential depending upon the specific area designated as Mixed Use. See Mixed Use Implementation Policies for specific criteria. Development within this land use designation is to proceed through the PUD and/or development agreement process. Identifying areas for mixed-use development has two objectives. The first objective is to give the city a better tool to manage the type of developments through the planned unit development and/or the Development Agreement process. The second objective is that this land use designation will allow the development community to be more innovative in design and placement of structures. Development design guidelines should also be established to guide development within mixed-use areas. Rezoning within this land use designation is to be strictly monitored by the city to assure that the Mixed-Use areas are not being used simply to justify high density residential use. 8.3 Goal: Encourage the development of a diverse community that provides a mix of land uses, housing types, and a variety of employment options, social and recreational opportunities, and where possible, an assortment of amenities within walking distance of residential development. 8.4 Objectives: • Implement the Land Use Map and associated policies as the official guide for development. • Manage urban sprawl in order to minimize costs of urban services and to protect rural areas. • Encourage land uses that are in harmony with existing resources, scenic areas, natural wildlife areas, and surrounding land uses. 8.5.3 Policies Related Mostly to the Urban Residential Planning Areas: A. The Neighborhood Residential Land Use is to encourage urban style development densities to limit urban sprawl. B. Low densities within the Neighborhood Residential Land Use are to be designed within the floodplain, ridgeline developable areas, hillside developable areas and where new residential lots are proposed adjacent to existing residential lots of one acre and larger where those existing larger lots are not likely to be subdivide in the future. ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 16 8.5.7 Policies Related Mostly to The Mixed-Use Planning Areas A. Council, at their sole discretion, shall determine what mix of uses are appropriate for any mixed-use area considering existing property owners rights. B. Development within the Mixed-Use Designation is to proceed through the CUP, PUD, and/or Development Agreement process, and a concept plan must be included with any such proposed use. C. In general, mixed-use areas along state highways should be predominantly commercial with a very minor component of residential unless the residential is placed on upper floors as part of a mixed-use building. D. Mixed use areas along state and U.S. Highways where direct access to the state highway is prohibited, like along State Highway 16 between State Highway 44 and US Highway 20/26, should be predominately residential with a minor component of neighborhood commercial, or light industrial if sufficient roadway access, by means of backage or other roads, to the State Highway is provided. E. Mixed use areas located between commercial and residential land use designations are to provide a compatible transition between the higher intensity use of commercial and the lower intensity use of Estate and Neighborhood Residential. Uses for these mixed-use areas could include multi-family housing and or office related uses if determined by the Council through the public hearing process, to be appropriate 8.5.9 Additional Land Use Component Policies: • Encourage flexibility in site design and innovative land uses. • Work with Ada County Highway District (ACHD), Canyon Highway District #4 (CHD4), and Idaho Department of Transportation (ITD) for better coordination of roadway and access needs. • Support well-planned, pedestrian-friendly developments. • Dark sky provision should be adopted within the code to assure down style lighting in all developments and Star should consider joining the International Dark Sky Association. 18.4 Implementation Policies: F. Development Agreements allow the city to enter into a contract with a developer upon rezoning. The Development Agreement may provide the city and the developer with certain assurances regarding the proposed development upon rezoning. ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 17 PROJECT OVERVIEW ANNEXATION & REZONE: The applicant is requesting approval of an annexation and rezone application to change the zoning designation on 25.87 acres from Rural Urban Transitional (RUT) to Residential (R-4) and Mixed-Use (MU). This proposed residential zoning district would allow for a maximum residential density of 5 dwelling units per acre. The mixed-use zoning district would allow for uses envisioned within the Comprehensive Plan for this corner property on Star Road and Joplin Road. The property is located in an area that will be serviceable with central sewer and water provided by Star Sewer and Water District in the near future. Star Sewer and Water will be extending services along Joplin Road from the new sewer lift station completing construction on the west side of Star Road. The property will be accessed by a public road and currently has frontage on Joplin Road. All roads in the development will be public. The rezone request includes a development agreement that will address future density and development standards along with approved zoning uses for the mixed-use. PRELIMINARY PLAT: The Preliminary Plat submitted contains 71 total lots, 65 single family residential lots, 5 common lots and 1 mixed-use lot on 25.87 acres. Gross acreage of the residential portion of the property is 21.04 acres, which equates to 3.09 dwelling units per acre. Counting the overall acreage of the property, which is 25.87 acres, that equates to 2.51 dwelling units per acre. The lots will have access and frontage from public streets. The residential lots range in size from 5,250 square feet to 10,754 square feet with the average buildable lot being 5,927 square feet. All roads will be built to ACHD, City of Star and Star Fire District standards. The submitted preliminary plat is showing a 50 ft wide right of way with paved streets measuring 36 feet from back of curb to back of curb. Sidewalks are proposed to be 5 feet wide and attached throughout the development. The applicant has not provided documentation that street names have been obtained and approved. Applicant shall obtain and provide to the City street name approval documentation from the Ada County Street Naming Committee prior to signature of the final plat. The proposed Mixed-Use lot (Lot 37, Block 4) is 4.16 acres in size. The applicant has not indicated specific uses for this lot at this time. The application states that the proposed overall open space provided within the residential portion of the development is 5.43 acres including at least 2.36 acres (11%) usable open space. Some of the open space is “visual” in nature. In order to qualify as open space, open style fencing must be provided. Therefore, Lots 2-4, Block 1, and Lots 1-12, 14-36, Block 4 shall be conditioned to have open style fencing along the rear property lines adjacent to the common lot located along the southern, western and eastern boundaries of the residential portions of subdivision. The current Unified Development Code, Section 8-4E-2 requires a development of ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 18 this size to have a minimum of 2 site amenities. The applicant is proposing a pocket park with a shade ramada and a pathway along the southern portion of the property along the hillside and wetland area. There will also be three ponds in the development. These amenities satisfy the code requirement for development amenities. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT FEATURES: • Gravel Extraction of Ponds The development will include the excavation of three ponds for future amenities within the development. It is assumed that the materials from the pond will be used on-site. Details including but not limited to noise, potential off-site haul routes, if applicable, operation hours, length of time, dust control and other issues shall be discussed with Council and conditioned appropriately with the approval of the application. • Ponds The future water features within the development shall be designed and maintained in a manner that protects the public safety. This will include aerators to prevent algae and mosquito issues, safety ring stations throughout the water feature locations, safety shelfs and erosion consideration. • Sidewalks Internal sidewalks are proposed at five-foot widths and will be attached throughout the development. • Lighting Streetlights shall reflect the “Dark Sky” criteria with all lighting. The same streetlight design shall continue throughout the entire development. The applicant has submitted a streetlight plan and cut sheet that DOES NOT meet City of Star requirements. Applicant must provide a streetlight design/cut sheet and location plan for City approval. This will be required at submittal of the final plat. • Street Names Applicant has not provided documentation from Ada County that the street names are acceptable and have been approved. This will be required at final plat. • Subdivision Name Applicant has provided a letter from Ada County that the subdivision name has been approved and reserved for this development. ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 19 • Landscaping - As required by the Unified Development Code, Chapter 8, Section 8-8C-2- M Street Trees; A minimum of one street tree shall be planted for every thirty-five (35) linear feet of street frontage. The applicant shall use “Treasure Valley Tree Selection Guide”, as adopted by the Unified Development Code. Section 8-8C-2, J5 states that a minimum of one deciduous shade tree per four thousand (4,000) square feet of common area shall be provided. The submitted landscape plan DOES NOT satisfy these requirements. Applicant shall provide an updated landscape plan that shows street trees per code, prior to signing the final plat. • Setbacks – The applicant is not requesting any set back waivers and will adhere to the R- 4 requirements outlined earlier in this report. For clarification, street side setback requirements do not apply when adjacent to a common lot. • Block – All blocks appear to meet the 750’ block length requirement. • Mailbox Cluster – Applicant has not provided documentation from a Postmaster depicting the approved location for the mailbox cluster for the development. This will be required prior to signing the final plat. • Mixed-Use Lot – Although there are no proposed uses with this application, the applicant has recognized that this lot would be for future commercial uses. Council should consider the uses allowed within the Mixed-Use zone and condition the Development Agreement accordingly if specific uses are not intended to be allowed. For example, Council may want to prohibit future Multi-Family or other commercial uses that may not be compatible with the proposed residential uses. • Phasing – The applicant has not provided a phasing plan for this development. A phasing plan shall be conditioned to be provided prior to submittal of the final plat application. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT Through the Development Agreement process, the applicant is proposing to work with the City and neighboring property owners to provide further insurances that the development will be built as presented and/or modified by the Council through the review process. Items that should be considered by the applicant and Council include the following: • Density; • Prohibited Commercial Uses • ITD Proportionate Share Fees; • Emergency Access • Gravel Extraction Operation ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 20 • Pond Operation and Maintenance • Allowed or Prohibited Uses within the Mixed Use AGENCY RESPONSES ITD Pending Star Fire District August 9, 2021 DEQ May 21, 2021 Ada County Development Services May 11, 2021 ACHD Pending West Ada School District July 6, 2021 Keller and Associates August 6, 2021 Central District Health May 12, 2021 PUBLIC RESPONSES No Public Comments Have Been Received. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based upon the information provided to staff in the applications and agency comments received to date, the proposed annexation and zoning request and associated applications including the preliminary plat meets the requirements, standards and intent for development as they relate to the Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code. The proposed maximum allowed density of 3.08 dwelling unit per acre is within the range of 3-5 dwelling units per acre allowed in the Neighborhood Residential Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Staff is supportive of proposed diversity in lot sizes, housing sizes and density that the (R-4) zoning designation will provide. The Council should consider the entire record and testimony presented at their scheduled public hearing prior to rendering its decision on the matter. Should the Council vote to approve the applications, either as presented or with added or revised conditions of approval, Council shall direct staff to draft findings of fact and conclusions of law for the Council to consider at a future date. A development agreement will also be brought back to the Council for review of proposed Conditions of Approval for the rezone. FINDINGS The Council may approve, conditionally approve, deny or table this request. In order to approve these applications, the Unified Development Code requires that Council must find the following: ANNEXATION/REZONE FINDINGS: ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 21 1. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of the Star Comprehensive Plan is to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the people of the City of Star and its Impact Area. Some of the prime objectives of the Comprehensive Plan include: ✓ Protection of property rights. ✓ Adequate public facilities and services are provided to the people at reasonable cost. ✓ Ensure the local economy is protected. ✓ Encourage urban and urban-type development and overcrowding of land. ✓ Ensure development is commensurate with the physical characteristics of the land. The goal of the Comprehensive Plan for Land Use is to encourage the development of a diverse community that provides a mixture of land uses, housing types, and a variety of employment options, social and recreational opportunities, and where possible provides an assortment of amenities within walking distance of a residential development. The Council must find compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district, specifically, the purposes statement. The City must find that the proposal complies with the proposed district and purpose statement. The purpose of the residential districts is to provide regulations and districts for various residential neighborhoods with gross densities in compliance with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan designation. Housing shall be single family detached unless approved with a PUD or development agreement. Connection to municipal water and sewer facilities are required for all subdivision and lot split applications in all districts exceeding one dwelling unit per acre. The purpose of the mixed-use district is to provide for a mixture of uses which may, at the sole discretion of the Council, include office, commercial, and/or residential depending upon the specific comprehensive plan area designated as Mixed Use. Development within this zone is to proceed through the PUD process unless a development agreement has already been executed for the particular property. Identifying areas for mixed-use development has two objectives. The first objective is to give the city a better tool to manage the type of developments through the planned unit development and/or the Development Agreement process. The second objective is that this zone may allow the development community to be more innovative in design and placement of structures subject to Council review and approval. Rezoning within this land use designation is to be strictly monitored by the city to assure that the Mixed-Use areas are not being used simply to justify high density residential use. Residential uses may be part of an overall mixed-use development that includes a non- residential component and may not exceed 30% of the overall size of the development. 3. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare; and ---PAGE BREAK--- OAKLAWN CROSSING SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION/ZONING, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT FILE # AZ-21-08/DA-21-10/PP-21-11 22 The Council must find that there is no indication from the material submitted by any political agency stating that this annexation and zoning of this property will be materially detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare. 4. 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. The Council must find that it has not been presented with any information from agencies having jurisdiction that public services will be adversely impacted other than traffic, which will continue to be impacted as the City grows. 5. The annexation is in the best interest of the city. The Council must find that this annexation is reasonably necessary for the orderly development of the City. PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS: 1. The plat is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.

Joplin Road. Ada County supports the application due to its compatibility with the Star Comprehensive Plan, as adopted by Ada County, as designates the site as Medium Density Residential, which is primarily intended for single-family residential development at densities of up to four units per acre. The proposal to set aside 5.4 acres as common area, which will include a ramada, ponds and pathways, is compatible with Residential Policy 3 of the Star Comprehensive Plan which encourages neighborhood parks and open spaces to be provided within residential areas, and the proposal to protect and enhance the hillside and wetlands along the southern portion of the site is supported by Recreation, Parks, Open Space and Pathways Policy 13, which calls for the protection of steep slopes and surface waters in order to preserve the natural lay of the land. The commercial lot on the northwest corner of the site and its connection to the residential area is compatible with Mixed Use Policy 6 which encourages residential and commercial uses to be located close together, and the stub street proposed to the east is supported by Goals 4.3 and 4.3d of the Ada County Comprehensive Plan which support the development of well-connected local transportation systems, and the construction of stub streets that will connect to future developments on adjacent lands wherever possible. As the property does not currently abut city limits, it is important that approval of the development and associated annexation be contingent upon the subject property first becoming contiguous to city limits. Thank you for this opportunity to provide feedback. Sincerely, Brent Moore, MCMP, AICP Community & Regional Planner Ada County Development Services ---PAGE BREAK--- (208) 286-7772 11665 W.

Box 130 Star, ID 83669 RE: Oaklawn Crossing Subdivision, PP-21-11 Dear Planners: Joint School District No. 2 (dba West Ada School District) has experienced significant and sustained growth in student enrollment during the last ten years. Applying our Student Generation Rate per SF dwelling unit, .1 per MF dwelling unit), to the Oaklawn Crossing Subdivision we predict these homes, when completed, could house 46 school aged children. Approval of this development could affect enrollments at the following schools in West Ada District: West Ada School District supports economic growth. To meet the need for additional school capacity, West Ada School District will accept the donation of land appropriate for a school site. Passage of a bond issue will be required prior to the commencement of new school construction. Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school(s) as it may be necessary to bus students to available classrooms across the district. The safety of our students is our first and foremost priority. With this in mind, we ask that you encourage the developer to provide safe walkways, bike baths and pedestrian access for our students.

A. Findings of Fact 1. Private Roads a. Private Road Policy: District policy 7212.1 states that the lead land use agencies in Ada County establish the requirements for private streets. The District retains authority and will review the proposed intersection of a private and public street for compliance with District intersection policies and standards. The private road should have the following requirements: • Designed to discourage through traffic between two public streets, • Graded to drain away from the public street intersection, and • If a private road is gated, the gate or keypad (if applicable) shall be located a minimum of 50-feet from the near edge of the intersection and a turnaround shall be provided. Access Points Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops. Access Policy: District policy 7205.4.6 states that direct access to minor arterials is typically prohibited. If a property has frontage on more than one street, access shall be taken from the street having the lesser functional classification. If it is necessary to take access to the higher classified street due to a lack of frontage, the minimum allowable spacing shall be based on Table 1a under District policy 7205.4.6, unless a waiver for the access point has been approved by the District Commission. Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7205.4.5 requires driveways located on minor arterial roadways from a signalized intersection with a single left turn lane shall be located a minimum of 330-feet from the nearest intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway and a minimum of 660-feet from the intersection for a full-movement driveway. ---PAGE BREAK--- Ada County Highway District • 3775 Adams Street • Garden City, ID • 83714 • PH [PHONE REDACTED] • FX 345-7650 • www.achdidaho.org District policy 7205.4.5 requires driveways located on minor arterial roadways from a signalized intersection with a dual left turn lane shall be located a minimum of 330-feet from the nearest intersection for a right-in/right-out only driveway and a minimum of 710-feet from the intersection for a full-movement driveway. Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.6 Table 1a, requires driveways located on minor arterial roadways with a speed limit of 35 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 330-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7205.4.8 restricts high-volume driveways (100 VTD or more) to a maximum width of 36-feet and low-volume driveways (less than 100 VTD) to a maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for high-volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for low-volume driveways with less than 100 VTD. Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7205.4.8, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers in accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7205.4.8. Cross Access Easements/Shared Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.1 states that cross access utilizes a single vehicular connection that serves two or more adjoining lots or parcels so that the driver does not need to re-enter the public street system. b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a 24-foot wide private road from the site onto Star Road located approximately 16-feet south of the site’s north property line (measured property line to centerline). c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant’s proposal to construct a 24-foot wide private road from the site onto Star Road located approximately 16-feet south of the site’s north property line does not meet the District’s Successive Driveways policy which requires driveways located on minor arterial roadways with a speed limit of 35 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 330-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. However, staff recommends approval of the location, as proposed, due to the fact the applicant cannot meet the offset due to the limited site frontage. If the City of Star approves the private road, the applicant shall be required to pave the private roadway a minimum of 20 to 24-feet wide and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of all public streets and install pavement tapers with 15- foot curb radii abutting the existing roadway edge. If private roads are not approved by the City of Star, the applicant will be required to revise and resubmit the preliminary plat to provide public standard local streets in these locations. Street name and stop signs are required for the private road. The signs may be ordered through the District. Verification of the correct, approved name of the road is required. ACHD does not make any assurances that the private road, which is a part of this application, will be accepted as a public road if such a request is made in the future. Substantial redesign and reconstruction costs may be necessary in order to qualify this road for public ownership and maintenance. The following requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the roadway to ACHD: ---PAGE BREAK--- Ada County Highway District • 3775 Adams Street • Garden City, ID • 83714 • PH [PHONE REDACTED] • FX 345-7650 • www.achdidaho.org • Dedicate a minimum of 50-feet of right-of-way for the road. • Construct the roadway to the minimum ACHD requirements. • Construct a stub street to the surrounding parcels.

Short Title: This article shall be known and may be cited as the TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE ORDINANCE. B. Authority: This article is enacted pursuant to the City's general police powers, its authority to enact ordinances, and its authority as provided by the Idaho Development Impact Fee Act codified at chapter 82 of title 67, Idaho Code (the "Act") and other applicable laws of the State of Idaho to impose development impact fees; and the City's and the Highway District’s authority to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement as provided for in Idaho Code section 67-8204A to impose, collect and expend development impact fees. C. Applicability: Except as otherwise exempted in section 7-3B-3 of this article, these provisions shall apply to the development of property located within the boundaries of the City of Star, Idaho. D. Findings: 1. The Canyon Highway District No. 4, (the "Highway District") is a highway district organized and existing by virtue of the Highway District Law chapter 13 of title 40, Idaho Code, and its boundaries include all areas within the City limits of the City and areas surrounding the City within Canyon County; and 2. The City and the Highway District have entered into a Joint Powers Agreement (“Canyon 4/Star Public Agency Coordination Agreement, June 6, 2007”), which provides in part that in the best interest of administration of the highways within the area to be annexed by the City within Canyon County, the Highway District will maintain general supervision over all secondary highways which lie both within the City and in Canyon County; and 3. The Highway District's duties include the responsibility to construct and improve all highways within their system; and 4. The City is experiencing considerable growth and development; and ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 3 of 29 Mac draft – CHD4 Transportation Impact Fee Code - DRAFT 5. The purposes of this Act are as follows: a. Ensure that adequate public facilities are available to serve new growth and development; b. Promote orderly growth and development by establishing uniform standards by which local governments, such as the City and the Highway District, may require those who benefit from new growth and development pay (development impact fees) their proportionate share of the costs of new public facilities needed to serve that new growth and development; and c. Establish minimum standards for adoption of development impact fee ordinances by cities; and d. Ensure that those who benefit from new growth and development are required to pay no more than their proportionate share of the cost of public facilities needed to serve that new growth and development and to prevent duplicate and ad hoc development requirements; and e. To empower cities to adopt ordinances to impose development impact fees. 6. The Act: a. Does not authorize the Highway District to enact a development impact fee ordinance; and b. Does provide, pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-8204A, in circumstances where the City and the Highway District are both affected by the considerable growth and development as is occurring within the City, that the City and the Highway District may enter into the Intergovernmental Agreement for the purpose of agreeing to collect and expend development impact fees for system improvements which provides for a new funding mechanism for those system improvements costs incurred by the Highway District to meet the demand and growth occurring within the City and which promotes and accommodates orderly growth and development and protects the public health, safety and general welfare of the residences within the boundaries of the City. 7. New residential growth within the City imposes and will impose increasing and excessive demands upon the existing Transportation Capital Facilities. 8. The tax revenues generated from new residential development within the City often do not generate sufficient funds to provide the necessary improvements and expansion of existing Transportation Capital Facilities to accommodate for that new growth. 9. New growth within the City is expected to continue, and will place ever-increasing demands on the Highway District to provide and expand the Transportation Capital Facilities to serve that new growth. 10. Section 67-8204A of the Act authorizes the City to adopt an impact fee system and to enter into the Intergovernmental Agreement with the Highway District to offset, recoup, ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 4 of 29 Mac draft – CHD4 Transportation Impact Fee Code - DRAFT or reimburse the portion of the costs of needed improvements to the Transportation Capital Facilities caused by new growth and development in the City. 11. The creation of an equitable impact fee system facilitated by the Intergovernmental Agreement with the Highway District, will promote the purposes set forth in the Act, in that it would: a. ensure that adequate Transportation Capital Facilities are available to serve new growth and development; b. promote orderly growth and development by establishing uniform standards by which the City may require that those who benefit from new growth and development pay a proportionate share of the cost of new Transportation Capital Facilities needed to serve new growth and development in the City; c. establish minimum standards for the adoption of Transportation Impact Fees; d. ensure that those who benefit from new growth and development are required to pay no more than their proportionate share of the cost of Transportation Capital Facilities needed to serve new growth and development in the City; and e. prevent duplicate and ad hoc development requirements in the City. 12. The City and Highway District have formed the Joint Advisory Committee as required by Idaho Code section 67-8205, and the committee has performed the duties required of it pursuant to Idaho Code sections 67-8205 and 67-8206(2). The City and these agencies intend that the committee will continue to exist and perform those duties identified in Idaho Code section 67-8205 that occur following the adoption of this article. 13. The Highway District has planned for the improvement of Transportation Capital Facilities in the Capital Improvements Plan. 14. The creation of an equitable impact fee system would enable the City to accommodate new development and would assist the Highway District to implement the capital improvements element of the Capital Improvements Plan. 15. In order to implement an equitable impact fee system, the City adopted by resolution dated , 2021 and the Highway District adopted (May 12, 2021) the Mid-Star Impact Fee Study and Capital Improvements Plan (the "Capital Improvements Plan"). Kittleson & Associates, Inc. was hired by the Highway District to assist the Joint Advisory Committee in the preparation of the study. 16. The methodology used in the Capital Improvements Plan, as applied through this article, complies with all applicable provisions of Idaho law, including those set forth in Idaho Code sections 67-8204(1), (16) and (23), 67-8207 and 67-8209. The incorporation of the Capital Improvements Plan by reference satisfies the requirement in Idaho Code section 67-8204(16) for a detailed description of the methodology by which the Transportation Impact Fees were calculated, and the requirement in Idaho Code section ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 5 of 29 Mac draft – CHD4 Transportation Impact Fee Code - DRAFT 67-8204(24) for a description of acceptable levels of service for transportation system improvements. 17. In determining the proportionate share of system improvements costs, the Capital Improvements Plan has considered: a. the cost of the existing system improvements; b. the means by which the existing system improvements have been financed; c. the extent to which the new development will contribute to system improvements costs through taxation, assessment, or developer or landowner contributions, or has previously contributed to system improvements costs through developer or landowner contributions; d. the extent to which the new development is required to contribute to system improvements costs in the future; e. the extent to which the new development should be credited for providing system improvements, without charge to other properties within the service area or areas; f. extraordinary costs, if any, incurred in serving the new development; g. the time and price differential inherent in a fair comparison of fees paid at different times; and h. the availability of other sources of funding system improvements including, but not limited to, user charges, general tax levies, intergovernmental transfers, and special taxation and includes a plan for alternative sources of revenue. 18. The Capital Improvements Plan contains the capital improvements planned by the Highway District during the term of the Capital Improvements Plan, and such element has been developed in conformance with the requirements in chapter 82 of title 67, Idaho Code. 19. The Capital Improvements Plan sets forth reasonable methodologies and analyses for determining the impacts of various types of new development on the Transportation Capital Facilities and determines the cost of acquiring or constructing the improvements necessary to meet the demands for such facilities created by new development. 20. In accordance with Idaho Code, the Capital Improvements Plan was based on actual system improvements costs or reasonable estimates of such costs. In addition, the Capital Improvements Plan uses a fee calculation methodology that is net of credits for the present value of revenues that will be generated by new growth and development based on historical funding patterns and that are anticipated to be available to pay for system improvements, including taxes, assessments, user fees, and intergovernmental transfers. 21. The Transportation Impact Fees established by this article are based on the Capital Improvements Plan, and do not exceed system improvements costs to serve new development that will pay the Transportation Impact Fees. ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 6 of 29 Mac draft – CHD4 Transportation Impact Fee Code - DRAFT 22. The Transportation Capital Facilities included in the calculation of fees in the Capital Improvements Plan will benefit all new residential development throughout the City, and it is therefore appropriate to treat all areas of the City located within Canyon County as a single service area for purposes of calculating, collecting, and spending the Transportation Impact Fees collected from developers. 23. There is both a rational nexus and a rough proportionality between development impacts created by each type of development covered by this article, the development impact fees assessment of such development covered by this article, and the development impact fees that such developer will be required to pay. 24. This article creates a system by which development impact fees paid by developers will be used to finance, defray, or reimburse a portion of the costs incurred by the Highway District to construct and/or purchase system improvements in ways that benefit the development for which each development impact fee was paid within a reasonable period of time after the development impact fee is paid, and in conformance with Idaho Code section 67-8210. 25. This article creates a system under which development impact fees shall not be used to correct existing deficiencies for any Transportation Capital Facilities, or to replace or rehabilitate existing Transportation Capital Facilities, or to pay for routine operation or maintenance of those facilities. 26. This article creates a system under which there shall be no double payment of development impact fees, in accordance with Idaho Code section 67-8204(19). 27. This article is consistent with all applicable provisions of the Act concerning development impact fee ordinances. E. Purpose: 1. This article is adopted to be consistent with, and to help implement the Capital Improvements Plan. 2. The intent of this article is to ensure that new residential development bears a proportionate share of the cost of system improvements; to ensure that such proportionate share does not exceed the cost of such system improvements required to accommodate new development; and to ensure that funds collected from new development are actually used for system improvements in accordance with the Act. 3. It is the further intent of this article to be consistent with those principles for allocating a fair share of the cost of system improvements to new development, and for adopting development impact fee ordinances, established by the Act. 4. It is not the intent of this article to collect any money from any new development in excess of the actual amount necessary to offset new demands for system improvements created by such new development. ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 7 of 29 Mac draft – CHD4 Transportation Impact Fee Code - DRAFT 5. It is the intent of this article that any monies collected, as an imposed Transportation Impact Fee, are deposited in the trust accounts of the Trust Fund, are never commingled with monies from a different impact fee account, are never used for a development impact fee component different from that for which the fee was paid, are never used to correct current deficiencies in the Transportation Capital Facilities, and are never used to replace, rehabilitate, maintain or operate any Transportation Capital Facilities.

B. Exemption Claim Process: An exemption from a Transportation Impact Fee must be claimed on the application by the developer (fee payer) upon submitting their application for a building permit or manufactured home installation permit. Any exemption not so claimed shall be deemed waived by the fee payer. Applications for exemption shall be determined by the City within ninety (90) days of receipt of the claim for exemption. (Ord. 278, 10-2-2018) 7-3B-6: INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS: A. In lieu of calculating the amount of the Transportation Impact Fee by reference to the fee schedule attached to the Capital Improvements Plan, a fee payer may file a request with the City that the amount of the required Transportation Impact Fee be determined by the Highway District Administrator through an individual assessment for the proposed development. A request for an individual assessment process shall involve consideration of studies, data, and any other relevant information submitted by the fee payer to adjust the amount of the Transportation Impact Fee. If a fee payer files a request for the use of an individual assessment, the fee payer shall be responsible for retaining a qualified professional to prepare the individual assessment that complies with the requirements of this article, at the fee payer's expense. The fee payer shall, at the fee payer's expense, bear the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the resulting individual assessment complies with the requirements of this article. The fee payer shall bear the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the resulting individual assessment is a more accurate measure of its proportionate share of the cost of system improvements, based on the adopted levels of service, than the development impact fees that would otherwise be due pursuant to the fee schedule attached to the Capital Improvements Plan. B. Each individual assessment shall be based on the same level of service standards and unit costs for system improvements used in the Capital Improvements Plan, shall use an average cost (not a marginal cost) methodology, and shall document the relevant methodologies and assumptions used. The vehicle miles traveled cost (VMT cost) established in the Capital Improvement Plan is based on the level of service standards and unit costs for the system improvements, and is not subject to modification in an individual assessment. The other factors used to determine the Transportation Impact Fee, including the trip generation rates, new trip factor, average trip length, or network adjustment factors are eligible for individual assessment. C. A request for an individual assessment shall be delivered and filed with the City at any time that the number of dwelling units in the proposed development and the types and amounts of development in each non-residential category identified in the fee schedule attached to the Capital Improvements Plan are known. Upon filing of a request for ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 15 of 29 Mac draft – CHD4 Transportation Impact Fee Code - DRAFT individual assessment, the City shall transmit the request to the Highway District Administrator for review. The Highway District Administrator shall issue a written decision within thirty (30) days following receipt of a completed request for individual assessment together with all supporting information from the fee payer, so as not to unreasonably delay the developer's (fee payer's) subsequent applications to the City for building permits. D. Each individual assessment request delivered to the Highway District Administrator may then be accepted, rejected, or accepted with modifications by the Highway District Administrator as the basis for calculating the Transportation Impact Fee. The criteria for acceptance, rejection or acceptance with modifications shall be whether the individual assessment is a more accurate measure of demand for system improvements element(s) created by the proposed development, or the costs of those facilities, than the applicable fee shown in the fee schedule attached to the Capital Improvements Plan. E. The decision by the Highway District Administrator on an application for an individual assessment shall include an explanation of the calculation of the Transportation Impact Fee, shall specify the system improvement(s) for which the Transportation Impact Fee is intended to be used, and shall include an explanation of those factors identified in Idaho Code section 67-8207. F. If an individual assessment is accepted or accepted with modifications by the Highway District Administrator then the Transportation Impact Fee due under this article for such development shall be calculated according to such individual assessment. G. The Highway District Administrator shall provide notice of final determination of an individual assessment to the developer (fee payer) and the City. (Ord. 278, 10-2-2018) 7-3B-7: DEVELOPER CREDITS AND REIMBURSEMENT: A. Credits To Be Issued: When a developer or their predecessor in title or interest has constructed system improvements of the same category as a transportation capital improvements element, or contributed or dedicated land or money towards the completion of system improvements of the same category as a transportation capital improvements element, and the Highway District has accepted such construction, contribution or dedication, the Highway District shall issue a credit against the Transportation Impact Fees otherwise due for the same transportation capital improvements element in connection with the proposed development, as set forth in this section, credit shall be issued regardless of whether the contribution or dedication to system improvements was required by the Highway District as a condition of development approval or was offered by the developer and accepted by the Highway District in writing, and regardless of whether the contribution or dedication was contributed by the developer or by a local improvement district controlled by the developer. ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 16 of 29 Mac draft – CHD4 Transportation Impact Fee Code - DRAFT B. Limitations: Credits against a Transportation Impact Fee shall not be given for: 1) project improvements; or 2) any construction, contribution or dedication not agreed to in writing by the Highway District prior to commencement of the construction, contribution, or dedication. Credits issued for one transportation capital improvements element may not be used to reduce Transportation Impact Fees due for a different capital improvement. No credits shall be issued for system improvements contributed or dedicated prior to the effective date of this article. C. Valuation Of Credit At Present Value: 1) Land: Credit for qualifying land dedications shall be valued at $2.50 per square foot as defined in the Capital Improvement Plan, except as modified by annual adjustments for inflation as further defined under this Act. 2) Improvements: Credit for qualifying acquisition or construction of system improvements shall be valued by the Highway District at the present value of such improvements based on complete engineering drawings, specifications, and construction cost estimates submitted by the fee payer to the Highway District. The Highway District Administrator shall determine the amount of credit due based on the information submitted, or, if it determines that such information is inaccurate or unreliable, then on alternative engineering or construction costs acceptable to the Highway District. In no case shall credit for improvements constructed exceed those costs determined to be impact fee eligible for those specific improvements in the Capital Improvement Plan. D. When Credits Become Effective: 1) Land: Approved credits for land dedications shall become effective when the land has been conveyed to the Highway District in a form acceptable to the Highway District, at no cost to the Highway District, and has been accepted by the Highway District. Upon request of the fee payer, the Highway District shall issue a letter stating the amount of credit available. 2) Improvements: Approved credits for acquisition or construction of system improvements shall generally become effective when: a) all required construction has been completed and has been accepted by the Highway District, b) a suitable maintenance and warranty bond has been received and approved by the Highway District, and c) all design, construction, inspection, testing, bonding, and acceptance procedures have been completed in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Highway District and the State of Idaho. Upon request of the fee payer, the Highway District shall issue a letter stating the amount of credit available. E. Credit Request Procedures: 1) Request: In order to obtain a credit against a Transportation Impact Fee otherwise due, a fee payer shall submit to the City a written offer of request to dedicate to the Highway District specific parcels of qualifying land or a written offer to ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 17 of 29 Mac draft – CHD4 Transportation Impact Fee Code - DRAFT contribute or construct specific system improvements to the Transportation Capital Facilities in accordance with all applicable State or City design and construction standards, and shall specifically request a credit against the type of Transportation Impact Fee for which the land dedication or system improvements is offered. The City shall then deliver the written offer of request to the Highway District Administrator. 2) Review: After receipt of the written offer of request for credit, the Highway District Administrator shall review the request and determine whether the land or system improvements offered for credit will reduce the costs of providing Transportation Capital Facilities by an amount at least equal to the value of the credit. If the Highway District Administrator determines that the offered credit satisfies that criteria and will be acceptable to the Board of Commissioners, then the credit shall be issued. The Highway District shall complete its review and determination of an application within thirty (30) days after receipt of an application for credit. 3) Credits Exceeding Fee Amounts Due: If the credit due to a fee payer pursuant to subsection D of this section exceeds the Transportation Impact Fee that would otherwise be due from the fee payer pursuant to this article (whether calculated through the fee schedule attached to the Capital Improvement Plan or through an independent assessment), the fee payer may choose to receive such credit in the form of either: a) a credit against future Transportation Impact Fee due for the same system improvements; or b) a reimbursement from Transportation Impact Fees paid by future development that impacts the system improvements contributed or dedicated by the fee payer. Unless otherwise stated in an agreement with the fee payer, the Highway District shall be under no obligation to use any Highway District funds - other than Transportation Impact Fees paid by other development for the same system improvements - to reimburse the fee payer for any credit in excess of Transportation Impact Fees that are due. 4) Written Agreement Required: If credit or reimbursement is due to the fee payer pursuant to this section, the Highway District shall enter into a written agreement with the fee payer, negotiated in good faith, prior to the contribution, dedication, or funding of the system improvements giving rise to the credit. The agreement shall provide for the amount of credit or the amount, time and form of reimbursement, and shall have a term not exceeding ten (10) years. 5) Determination: The Highway District Administrator's determination on the written offer of request for credit shall be provided to the fee payer and the City. (Ord. 278, 10-2-2018) 7-3B-8: METHODOLOGY FOR THE CALCULATION OF TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES: A. General Provisions: 1. Accounting Principles: The calculation of the Transportation Impact Fee shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A development impact fee shall not be deemed invalid because payment of the fee may result in an ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 18 of 29 Mac draft – CHD4 Transportation Impact Fee Code - DRAFT incidental benefit to owners or developers within the service area other than the fee payer. 2. Levels Of Service: The Transportation Impact Fee shall be calculated on the basis of levels of service for public facilities adopted in this article that are applicable to existing development as well as new growth and development. The construction, improvement, expansion or enlargement of new or existing public facilities for which the Transportation Impact Fee is imposed must be attributable to the capacity demands generated by the new development. B. Methodology; Proportionate Methodology: The Transportation Impact Fee shall not exceed a proportionate share of the cost of the system improvements determined in accordance with Idaho Code section 67-8207, as amended. Transportation Impact Fees shall be based on actual system improvements costs or reasonable estimates of such costs. The amount of the Transportation Impact Fee shall be calculated using the methodology contained in the Capital Improvements Plan. C. Proportionate Share Determination: 1. Transportation Impact Fee shall be based on a reasonable and fair formula or method under which the Transportation Impact Fee imposed does not exceed a proportionate share of the costs incurred or to be incurred by the Highway District in the provision of system improvements to serve the new development. The proportionate share is the costs attributable to the new development after the Highway District considers the following: a. Any appropriate credit, offset or contribution of money, dedication of land or construction of system improvements; b. Payments reasonably anticipated to be made by or as a result of a new development in the form of user fees and debt service payments; c. That portion of general tax or other revenues allocated by the Highway District to system improvements; and d. All other available sources of funding such system improvements. 2. In determining the proportionate share of the cost of system improvements to be paid by the developer, the following factors shall be considered by and accounted for in the calculation of the Transportation Impact Fee: a. The costs of existing system improvements within the service area; b. The means by which existing system improvements have been financed; c. The extent to which the new development will contribute to system improvements costs through taxation, assessments, or developer or landowner contributions, or has previously contributed to system improvements costs through developer or landowner contributions; d. The extent to which the new development is required to contribute to the cost of existing system improvements in the future; ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 19 of 29 Mac draft – CHD4 Transportation Impact Fee Code - DRAFT e. The extent to which the new development should be credited for providing system improvements, without charge to other properties within the service area; f. Extraordinary costs, if any, incurred in serving the new development; g. The time and price differential inherent in a fair comparison of fees paid at different times; and h. The availability of other sources of funding system improvements including, but not limited to, user charges, general tax levies, intergovernmental transfers and special taxation. (Ord. 278, 10-2-2018) 7-3B-9: EXTRAORDINARY IMPACTS: A. In the event the City makes an initial determination that development may impose extraordinary impact, the City shall provide the development application to the Highway District Administrator along with the City's initial determination. The Highway District Administrator shall then review and determine whether or not the development application will impose extraordinary impact. B. If the Highway District Administrator determines that a proposed development generates extraordinary impact that will result in extraordinary systems improvements costs, the Highway District Administrator will notify the fee payer and the City of such Transportation Impact Fee determination within thirty (30) days after Highway District Administrator's receipt from the City of the development application and the City's initial determination. Such notice shall include a statement that the potential impacts of such development on system improvements are not adequately addressed by the Capital Improvements Plan, and that a supplemental study, at the fee payer's expense will be required. C. Circumstances that may lead to a determination of extraordinary impact include, but are not limited to: 1) an indication the assumptions used in the Capital Improvements Plan underestimate the level of activity or impact on Transportation Capital Facilities from the proposed development or activity. D. Within thirty (30) days following the designation of a development with extraordinary impact, the Highway District Administrator shall meet with the fee payer to discuss whether the fee payer wants to: 1) pay for the supplemental study necessary to determine the system improvements costs related to the proposed development; 2) modify the proposal to avoid generating extraordinary impact; or 3) withdraw the application for certification, building permit or development approval. E. If the fee payer agrees to pay for the supplemental study required to document the proposed development's proportionate share of system improvements costs, then the ---PAGE BREAK--- Page 20 of 29 Mac draft – CHD4 Transportation Impact Fee Code - DRAFT Highway District Administrator and the fee payer shall jointly select an individual or organization acceptable to both to perform such study. The fee payer shall enter into a written agreement with such individual or organization to pay the costs of such study. Such agreement shall require the supplemental study to be completed within thirty (30) days of such written agreement, unless the fee payer agrees to a longer time. F. Once the study has been completed, the fee payer may choose to: 1) pay the proportionate share of system improvements costs documented by the supplemental study; or 2) modify the proposed development to reduce such costs; or 3) withdraw the application. If the fee payer agrees to pay the system improvements costs documented in the supplemental study, that agreement shall be reduced to writing between the Highway District and the fee payer prior to review and consideration of any application for any development approval or building permit related to the proposed development. G. Notwithstanding any agreement by the fee payer to pay the proportionate share of system improvements costs documented by the supplemental study, nothing in this article shall obligate the City to approve development that results in an extraordinary impact to the transportation system.
