Meridian council approves 61‑lot Driftwood Townhome subdivision amid concerns about Venable & Eustic signal timing
Summary
The Meridian City Council on March 17 approved a rezone, preliminary plat and development‑agreement modification for the Driftwood Townhome Subdivision (H-2025-0051), a 61‑lot project on 4.81 acres; councilmembers pressed staff and the developer on the status and timing of a cooperative development agreement and a traffic signal at Venable & Eustic.
Meridian City Council voted unanimously on March 17 to approve the Driftwood Townhome Subdivision (file H-2025-0051), clearing a package that includes a rezone from Community Business (CC) to Traditional Neighborhood Residential (TNR), a preliminary plat subdividing a 4.81‑acre site into 61 individual building lots, and a modification to the development agreement.
The project will replace an earlier multifamily approval and increases the northern portion’s buildable lots from an earlier plan (previous approvals contemplated multifamily units) to 61 two‑story townhome lots at a density staff described as about 12.68 units per acre. Staff said the proposal removes a prior community center from the northern parcel, provides 0.51 acres of common open space and proposes private streets with a mix of front‑loaded and alley‑loaded townhomes. "We are not proposing a change" to the site's future land use designation, applicant Eli Benski said, adding that the developer has provided revised plans and is agreeable to recommended conditions.
