Subject: Proposed development on Chinden/Linder
Dear Council VP Borton,
I live in Lochsa Falls Subdivision and I am against the proposed multi -family construction on
Chinden near Linder as this goes against the original zoning. These units would back up to my
property. When we purchased our home we did so with the understanding that that property was
zoned for commercial that would face Chinden not for apartments. This proposed construction
goes against the City of Meridian's own Comprehensive Plan as posted online:
Throughout the comprehensive planning process, citizens affirmed that the goals, objectives, and
action items contained in this plan are based on seven key community values:
1.Manage growth to achieve high -quality development.
2.Enhance Meridian's quality of life for all current and future residents.
3.New growth should finance public service expansion.
4.Prevent school overcrowding and enhance education services
5.Expand commercial and industrial development.
6.Improve transportation.
7.Protect Meridian's self-identity.
Changing the zoning to multi -use to allow apartments does not support any of these community
values.
To change the zoning now violates trust that homeowners and taxpayers have with the City
Council in their zoning decisions.
Please do not allow this change in. zoning to occur!
Thank you,
Natalie Sanderson.
