Planned Community Team
Executive Summary
The Planned Community Team took on the challenge of reviewing the Ada County
planned community entitlement process. We conducted independent research, in
which we reviewed planned community processes from around the country,
collected and analyzed local community planning documents, worked with private
consultants, reviewed public hearing testimony, and worked with local agencies.
This document represents our recommendations for the Board of Ada County
Commissioners.
It is our recommendation that a significant re -write of (1) the Ada County
Comprehensive Plan (portions specific to Planned Communities) and (2) the
Planned Community Zoning Ordinance (8-2E), be conducted in the following
manner:
(1) The Ada County Comprehensive Plan should be amended to significantly
reduce the number of policies related to planned communities. As it stands
within the Land Use chapter (chapter 5.10) there are thirty-six (36) policies
specific to planned communities. Many of these policies are duplicative of
other policies throughout the comprehensive plan, the Local Land Use
Planning Act (LLUPA) and application requirements within the Ada County
Zoning Ordinance. Staff recommends replacement of these thirty-six (36)
policies with approximately five (5) policies that will guide implementation
of our overall philosophical goals for the development of Planned
Communities (Goals, Pg. 4).
(2) The Ada County Planned Community Zoning Ordinance should be
significantly amended to simplify the material provided to the County while
maintaining focus on providing for the public health, safety, and welfare of
the community. Our proposed zoning ordinance accomplishes this by
focusing on the provisions provided by the legislature in the Local Land Use
Planning Act (LLUPA), setting objective public service level standards,
focusing less on design and more on provision of essential services, and
implementing a three step application process.

Planned Community Amendments
Purpose
Our primary purpose is to modify the planned community entitlement process so
that it is more efficient and transparent while maintaining focus on the public
health, safety, and welfare of the community.
Goals
Our overall philosophical goals for the Planned Community amendments are:
1. Focus on the provisions provided by the State Legislature in the Local
Land Use Planning Act (LLUPA).
2. Protect residents' expectations that services will be provided (ie, water
comes out of the faucet and toilets flush) by ensuring that the project is
financially sustainable.
3. Emphasize the adequate provision of urban levels of public services by
setting objective public service level standards.
4. Deemphasize the County's involvement in the design elements of the
planned community by relying on the applicant to determine their own

Research
Below is a summary of our research, which is provided to assist in relaying the
intent for our recommendations.
Country -wide PC Processes
Research was conducted that reviewed the various types of planned community
ordinances throughout the United States. Many of the municipalities do not have a
planned community ordinance and instead refer to either state code or allow for a
mix of land uses that are covered elsewhere in their zoning ordinance. They don't
allow the freedom to offer new land use districts or regulations; instead the planned
development would be strictly an overlay zone.
Master -planned communities like Kingwood, TX or Celebration, FL were reviewed
but as these developments were approved almost two decades ago they were
entitled very differently and offered little advance to our research efforts. Eastern
and north -central municipalities offer ordinances for developments that are quite
smaller, approximately less than 30 acres. However, these types of developments,
while serving similar purposes are meant as `infill' projects rather than the creation
of new communities.
The ordinances that have been developed in the western US were found to be the
most similar to Ada County's position. These have also been developed in areas that
are geographically similar to the Treasure Valley: high desert with vast amounts of
open lands. The areas that were closely reviewed were:
• Washoe County, Nevada (public services provision);
• Tulare County, California;
• Sonoma County, California;
• City of Tucson, Arizona;
• Maricopa County, Arizona;
• Coconino County, Arizona.
Local Community Planning Documents
We consulted a number of local community planning documents including the Ada
County Comprehensive Plan, Blueprint for Good Growth, and Communities in
Motion. From the Ada County Comprehensive Plan there are a number of
implementation actions that have been incorporated into the proposed ordinance,
including but not limited to:
• Locational criteria such as the natural features of the site to determine if the
site is an appropriate or an inappropriate location for a planned community;
• Coordinating with the cities to allow planned communities within areas of
city impact;
• Having participation of adjacent water and sewer service providers in the
scoping process.

The Blueprint for Good Growth Plan is a plan that focuses on linking land use and
transportation planning. Staff examined the adopted Phase 1 Report, as adopted by
the Consortium, dated September 14, 2006, in great detail to determine the
formation of our amendments. The proposed ordinance complies with the goals and
objectives of the Blueprint for Good Growth Plan in the following ways:
• Allows for the development of planned communities within areas of city
impact;
• Adoption of urban public service standards;
• Ensures that planned communities fund 100 percent of on and off-site capital
improvement costs and operations and maintenance of essential public
facilities and emergency service facilities required to serve the proposed
development (GM -28);
• Assigns the base residential and non-residential density at the time of
concept plan consideration, considering: the adequacy of essential public
facilities, consistency of the project with long range transportation plans, the
proximity of the project to employment centers, and the physical limitations
of the site (GM -27);
• Ensures that development decisions are coordinated with the availability of
essential public services;
• Encourages development within the areas of city impact (GM -26);
o Example: A trip generation standard has been created that requires
planned communities outside an area of city impact to reduce vehicle
trips an additional 1% for each mile that the planned community is
located beyond the nearest area of city impact boundary
Communities in Motion is the long-range transportation plan developed for the
Treasure Valley. It has similar goals and objectives to the Blueprint for Good
Growth Plan such as coordinating transportation and land use decisions. Staff has
been able to incorporate a number of the philosophies of the plan into the proposed
ordinance. A few include:
• Encouraging growth inside city impact areas;
• Emphasizing high density and mixed use development patterns;
• Considering natural resources, cultural sites, and important environmental
features into the planning process;
• Protecting critical open space and farmland resources.
Public Hearing Testimony
The wildlife and natural resources based agencies and the general public expressed
concerns pertaining to the natural features analysis and wildlife mitigation plans. It
was voiced that the plans were tailored to support development in the areas of the
project site that the developer wanted to develop and that the environmental
assessment should come first, before development plans. It was perceived that once
the application made it to public hearing the developer was reluctant to make
changes to their plan since the developer had already invested a considerable
Ada County Development Services 6
Planned Community Team
amount of time and money into the layout of the plan. The wildlife and natural
resources based agencies wanted the developer to identify the important natural
resources and habitats on the site upfront and for the development to be designed
around the important natural resources and habitat.
COMPASS and several cities expressed concerns about the current process. The
bundling of the entitlement applications doesn't adequately allow them to integrate
planned communities into the regional transportation network plans and studies
effectively. For instance, when planning for future ROW acquisitions if a
development is approved/entitled in an area in which the transportation network
and agencies did not anticipate immediate development, there is a higher chance
that the appropriate ROW will not be acquired upfront, when it is typically more
affordable. This tends to create situations similar to Eagle Road, in which access
control mechanisms are much harder to obtain after development encroaches.
Developer Input
The development community expressed frustration for various reasons, but
primarily it was two -fold. They were discouraged with the amount of upfront costs
required to perform the many detailed and technical studies that were mandated at
the beginning of the process and frustrated with the redundancy of some of the
application requirements. They preferred an approach where they could present to
the BOCC a conceptual plan prior to spending a lot of money on detailed studies. If
they gained approval of the concept, it would allow them to obtain additional
financing based upon the initial concept approval that could be used on some of the
more detailed and costly studies. They stated that some of the details and technical
studies weren't needed until later stages.
Staff Input
As we have processed planned community applications under the current
comprehensive plan and ordinance it has become obvious that changes are needed
to improve the process. We heard comments from the development community,
public agencies, and the general public. From a strictly administrative perspective,
we have identified inefficiencies in the current process as well. For example, the
current comprehensive plan and ordinance require the BOCC to make identical
findings several times over. This lends to unnecessarily lengthy staff reports.
Conclusion
Our research concluded that the Ada County Planned Community entitlement
process should be modified to address the concerns identified above while focusing
our attention on the public health, safety, and welfare of the community.

Public Outreach
During the process of re -thinking the planned community entitlement process we
found it imperative to get feedback from the stakeholders who would be affected by
the proposed comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance amendments. Therefore,
we held a number of focus groups with neighborhood associations, public service
providers, developers, transportation representatives, and wildlife and natural
resources experts. These meetings were beneficial as we were able to identify each
group's concerns and obtain constructive information that we were able to
incorporate into the proposed amendments. Additionally, Bill Reid of Johnson Reid,
LLC, our consulting economist, has had extensive interviews with area public
service providers and has performed extensive research to establish objective urban
public service level standards.

Framework -Zoning Ordinance
Based upon our research gathered, public input and our identified goals, we
recommend a new overall framework for the planned community entitlement
process. We recommend breaking the zoning ordinance requirements out into a
three (3) step process.
• Step 1 of the process is the "Planned Community Sub -Area Comprehensive
Plan Amendment Application". The purpose of this step is to analyze the
existing conditions of the site and the regional impacts from the proposed
development to determine the appropriateness of the location and the
feasibility of the development's success. During this step the applicant
creates a comprehensive plan that encompasses the area of their project.
Staff has developed the application requirements to match the
comprehensive plan requirements that the County is required to address
under LLUPA. In essence the developer under -takes a comprehensive
planning effort for the county. This step must be processed independent of
other PC entitlement applications.
• Step 2 of the process is the "Planned Community Sub -Area Implementation
Plan Application". The purpose of this step is to adopt a plan that specifies
future implementation strategies of the planned community, and that
contains mitigation measures, phasing, actions, programs, budgets,
ordinance(s), and timing of infrastructure improvements. In this step the
applicant will demonstrate how the planned community comprehensive plan
will be implemented appropriately.
• Sten 3 of the process is the submission of the preliminary plat. In this step a
preliminary plat for a planned community is processed in much the same
way that a preliminary plat for a standard subdivision would be processed.
The exception is that the preliminary plat must be in conformance with the
applicable Implementation Plan. Steps 2 and 3 can be processed
concurrently.

Highlights -Zoning Ordinance
In addition to the modifications we propose to the overall allocation of application
material, as identified in the new three-step process, there are significant
recommendations that will be new to the public.
The proposed planned community ordinance allows planned communities to be
located within the areas of city impact. It has been determined for a planned
community to be located in an area of city impact there will need to be coordination
between the developer, county, and the cities as the planned community needs to
comply with the city's comprehensive plan, or as otherwise determined through
Area of City Impact agreements.
We propose an establishment of urban public service standards. We conducted
research, which involved communication with many of the public service providers,
reviewed capital improvement plans and other documents to develop objective
urban public service standards. We also propose removing our requirement for
"adequate mitigation to any identified negative tax shortfalls". By removing this
required finding and having set urban public service level standards it would allow
the county to get out of the negotiation business between the developer and the
public service providers. This would provide the mechanism to ensure that urban
levels of service are adequately provided within the planned community and that
the resident's expectation that essential public services will be provided to the
planned community is ensured. We propose setting service standards for electricity,
telephone service, law enforcement, EMS, library, schools, parks, water, wastewater,
and streets and transit.
Based upon our research and meeting with the Idaho Department of Environmental
Quality, Idaho Department of Water Resources, and the Central District Health
Department we developed objective standards for water supply and sewer.
Highlights of these standards include drinking water being provided to every
property within the planned community by either a municipality, a private water
company regulated by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, or a water district
maintaining compliance with applicable federal, state, and local rules and laws;
requiring the use of reclaimed water when applicable; demonstrating that a
guaranteed water supply is available to the entire planned community; requiring
the planned community to have sewer connected to a centralized wastewater
treatment system or a connection to an existing private sewer company, sewer
district, or municipal system; demonstrating that sufficient funds are provided and
set aside in a dedicated reserve account for operation and maintenance of the
drinking water and sewer systems.
During the public hearing process one area of concern that we heard from the
general public and the cities was that the number of proposed trips generated by the
planned community would have a negative impact on the community. To address
Ada County Development Services 11
Planned Community Team
trip reduction the proposed ordinance requires the developer to design the planned
community so that those planned communities within an area of city impact reduces
trip generation by at least 20% below what a typical stand-alone subdivision would
generate. For those planned communities outside an area of city impact the planned
community would need to be designed to reduce trip generation by at least 20%
below what a typical stand alone subdivision would generate plus an additional 1%
for each mile that the planned community is located from the nearest area of city
impact. This should further the intent of Blueprint for Good Growth by providing an
incentive for development to locate within the areas of city impact. In addition,
planned communities will be required to develop strategies that will result in a
more efficient use of transportation resources.
How we handle environmental assessment and wildlife mitigation was another area
of focus. We recommend separating out the requirements of the Wildlife Mitigation
Plan to coincide with the step framework of the proposed ordinance. In the first step
(Planned Community Sub -Area Comprehensive Plan Amendment) the developer
should identify the natural resources, habitat, and the types of species that the
habitat can support on the planned community site. This would address a concern of
the wildlife and natural resource based agencies. The appropriateness of the
location can be taken into consideration, as well as having the conceptual land use
plan designed around the habitat prior to the expenditure of resources being made
on mitigation measures. In the second step (Planned Community Sub -Area
Implementation Plan) the developer would add a mitigation component and the
management structure of the community conservation director and advisory
committee to the habitat identification in step one.
The plat as a "self supporting unit" is another significant change in the proposed
ordinance. The proposed ordinance defines "self supporting unit" as a stand-alone
module of development that generates enough revenue, as demonstrated by the
appropriate pro forma, to support the construction and operation of appropriate
urban public services required to serve each dwelling unit therein. The pro forma
would demonstrate that there are sufficient assets and funds available to privately
construct or contribute to the construction of necessary urban public services.
