I am hoping we can get something from them that is in support of the design prior to City Council tonight. I checked, and our west-end connection is fairly tight, but it does still provide the 28-48 radii for truck turning. In addition, with rolled curb and attached sidewalk on the south side of new Avebury Way, and no parking signs installed, I believe we have more than adequately provided for the safety of the residents in the event of a fire or emergency situation that would require fire department response. In response to the sewer and water (item #14 on the staff report) I believe we can provide what the city would like for service extensions rather than mains in the common drive. The servicing of the lots in that manner may require the use of the area between top of bank of the canal and the property line (which would need to be covered by a license agreement with NMID), but having as a condition of approval allows us the time to address that portion of the design through the review/approval process and still get approval at City Council tonight. As soon as I hear back from someone at the Fire Department, I will forward along any pertinent information.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates this site as Medium Density Residential (MDR). MDR designated areas allow smaller lots for residential purposes within City limits. Uses may include single-family homes at gross densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre (d.u./acre). The applicant proposes to develop this 10.4 acre site with twenty-nine (29) single-family residential lots, ten (10) multi-family residential lots and five (5) common lots. The R-15 portion of the site consists of approximately 3.5 acres and will have a gross density of 13.7 dwelling units to the acre, and the R-8 portion of the site consists of 6.9 acres will have a gross density of 4.2 dwelling units to the acre. Overall gross density within the proposed project is 7.4 dwelling units to the acre which falls within the density range of the MDR land use designation. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the proposed use (staff analysis in italics):  “Support a variety of residential categories (low-, medium-, medium-high and high-density single-family, multi-family, townhouses, duplexes, apartments, condominiums, etc.) for the purpose of providing the City with a range of affordable housing opportunities.” (3.07.01E) EXHIBIT A Maddyn Village Subdivision – H-2016-0075 PAGE 5 The proposed single-family detached and multi-family dwellings will contribute to the variety of housing types available within the City.  “Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City.” (3.01.01F) City services are available and will be extended by the developer to the proposed lots upon development of the site in accord with UDC 11-3A-21.The two (2) existing home will need to connect to city utilities with the development of the property.  “Require common area in all subdivisions.” (3.07.02F) The proposed plat depicts a total of 1.59 acres (or 15.3%) of common open space in accord with the requirements listed in UDC11-3G-3. All open space and site amenities are to be shared amongst the single family and multi-family developments.  “Review new development for appropriate opportunities to connect local roads and collectors to adjacent properties (stub streets). (3.03.020) N. Spring Water Street was stubbed to the property with the development of the Salisbury Lane Subdivision. This roadway is being extended with the proposed development. The extension of this roadway is the only access to the single family portion of the development. The multi-family portion is proposed to take access from N. Meridian Road.  “Support infill of vacant lots in substantially developed, single-family areas at densities similar to surrounding development.” (3.07.02I) The subject property is adjacent to existing medium density homes and similar lot sizes to the south in the Salisbury Lane Subdivision and to the west in the Parkway Subdivision. Staff believes the multi-family provides a transition between the commercial uses to the north the existing single family to the south.  “Require pedestrian access connectors in all new development to link subdivisions together to promote neighborhood connectivity as part of a community pathway system.” (3.03.03B) The applicant is proposing an internal pathway system for the proposed development. The proposed subdivision will construct an approximately 250 foot pathway through the interior of the subdivision that will connect the single-family portion of the project to the multi-family portion via the proposed 5 foot detached sidewalk along N. Meridian Road. The applicant is also required to install 5-foot attached sidewalks that will connect to existing sidewalk to the south. Further, the applicant has provided a pedestrian connection to the church in coordination with the property owner.  “Reduce the number of existing access points onto arterial streets by using methods such as cross access agreements, access management and frontage/backage roads.” (3.03.02N) The submitted plat depicts one access point to N. Meridian Road as well as connecting to the existing stub street (N. Spring Water Street). UDC 11-3A-3 restricts access to arterial street when local street access is available. Because the applicant is proposing to keep the existing homes on the site and a common lot developed with the Salisbury Lane Subdivision restricts access to W. Sedgewick Drive, the applicant is seeking a council waiver for the access to Meridian Rd. ACHD staff has recommended approval of the proposed access point.  “Require new residential development to meet development standards regarding landscaping, signage, fences and walls, etc.” (3.05.02C) EXHIBIT A Maddyn Village Subdivision – H-2016-0075 PAGE 6 Street buffer landscaping is required adjacent to N. Meridian Road in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. Separate permits shall be obtained for signage and fencing in compliance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3D-5 and 11-3A-7 respectively.  “Coordinate with public works, police, and fire departments on proposed annexation and development requests, and the impacts on services.” (3.04.01H) Staff has coordinated with public works, police and fire and has incorporated their comments and conditions in this report.  “Ensure development provides safe routes and access to schools, parks and other community gathering places.: (3.07.02N) Staff is requiring the applicant to install the frontage improvements along the entire frontage of Meridian Road with the first phase of development because this is the last stretch of sidewalk that has not been installed and will provide much needed pedestrian access to the area schools and parks.  “Elevate quality of design for houses and apartments; evaluate the need for design review guidelines for single-family homes.” (3.07.02O) The multi-family structures within the proposed development will be subject to the design standards in UDC 11-3A-19 and the guidelines in the Architectural Standards Manual.  “Locate high-density development, where possible, near open space corridors, or other permanent major open space and park facilities, Old Town, and near major access thoroughfares.” (3.07.02L) The proposed development is in close proximity to Settlers Park and adjacent to N. Meridian Road which provides access to Downtown and Interstate I-84.  “Evaluate comprehensive impact of growth in all land use decisions (e.g., traffic impacts, school enrollment, parks, etc.) (3.01.01B) A letter has been received from the Ada West School District commenting on this application. Based on U.S. census data, the District estimates that when complete, this development will add approximately 66 school aged children to the enrollment numbers of schools within the Ada West District (see letter to the City dated August 8, 2016 for more information). For the above stated reasons, staff finds the proposed project is consistent with the goals and objectives in the Comprehensive Plan. VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC) A. Purpose Statement of Zone: Per UDC 11-2A-1, the purpose of the residential districts is to provide for a range of housing opportunities consistent with the Meridian comprehensive plan. Residential districts are distinguished by the allowable density of dwelling units per acre and corresponding housing types that can be accommodated within the density range. The medium density residential (R-8) district allows a maximum gross density of 8 dwelling units per acre. The medium-high density residential (R-15) district allows a maximum gross density of 15 dwelling units per acre. B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) Tables 11-2A-6 and 11-2A-7 list the principal permitted (P), accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the R-8 and R- 15 zoning district respectively. Any use not explicitly listed, or listed as a prohibited use is prohibited. The proposed use of the site for single-family detached dwellings is a principal permitted use in the R-8 zoning district and the proposed multi-family use is a conditional use in EXHIBIT A Maddyn Village Subdivision – H-2016-0075 PAGE 7 the R-15 zoning district. The applicant has submitted an application for a conditional use permit for this project. C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site should be consistent with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Tables 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district and 11-2A-7 for the R-15 zoning district. D. Landscaping: For purposes of this application the common open space and site amenities will be shared between the entire development.  Street buffer landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the standards listed in UDC Tables 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district, 11-2A-7 for the R-15 zoning district, and UDC 11-3B-7C.  The proposed micropaths and internal pathways shall comply with the design standards in accord with UDC 11-3A-8 and UDC 11-3B-12.  Per UDC 11-3G-3, the plat is required to provide 10 percent open space and one amenity for every 20 acres of development area.  Common open space and site amenities are required to be provided on the site in accord with the requirements listed in UDC 11-4-3-27C and 11-4-3-27D. E. Subdivision Design and Improvement Standards: The subdivision must comply with the subdivision design standards outlined in UDC 11-6C-3. F. Off-Street Parking: Off-street parking is required in accord with UDC Table 11-3C-6 for single- family and multi-family dwellings. IX. ANALYSIS A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: 1. Annexation & Zoning The applicant has applied for annexation and zoning of 10.4 acres of land with an R-8 and R-15 zoning districts. As discussed above in Section VII, staff believes the proposed zoning is consistent with the policies in the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant proposes to develop 27 new single-family residential detached homes and maintain two (2) existing homes on 6.9 acres of land and 48 multi-family units on ten (10) lots on 3.5 acres as shown on the preliminary plat included in Exhibit A.2. The legal description submitted with the application, included in Exhibit C, shows the boundaries of the property proposed to be annexed. The property is contiguous to land that has been annexed into the City and is within the Area of City Impact boundary. The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. In order to ensure the site develops as proposed with this application, staff recommends a DA as a provision of annexation with the provisions included in Exhibit B. 2. Conditional Use Permit (CUP): A CUP is requested for a multi-family development in the proposed R-15 zoning district as required by UDC Table 11-2A-2. The multi-family residential development is proposed to consist of 48 dwelling units within (10) 2-story structures (eight (8) four-plexes and two (2) eight-plexes) on 3.5 acres of land. The units EXHIBIT A Maddyn Village Subdivision – H-2016-0075 PAGE 8 will consist of 48 2-bedroom units containing approximately 1000 s.f. The applicant is proposing a bocce ball court, a gazebo/plaza, a community garden and internal pathways as the required amenities for the proposed development. Staff has reviewed the submitted CUP site plan and recommends the following modifications; 1) Provide seven (7) bike racks dispersed throughout the development as proposed; 2) At a minimum, 5-foot wide sidewalks should be constructed on both sides of the driveway to Meridian Road. Specific Use Standards: The specific use standards for multi-family developments listed in UDC 11-4-3-27 apply to development of this site as follows: (Staff’s comments in italics) a. A minimum of 80 square feet (s.f.) of private useable open space is required to be provided for each unit. Private useable open space in accord with UDC standards is proposed for each unit in the form of private patios and balconies for the proposed multi-family structures. In reviewing the submitted floor plans it appears that several of the units do not meet this requirement. With the submittal of a certificate of zoning compliance application, the applicant must submit revised floor plans that demonstrate that the each unit meets the private open space requirements. b. Developments with 20 units or more shall provide a property management office, a maintenance storage area, a central mailbox location with provisions for parcel mail that provides safe pedestrian and/or vehicular access and a directory map of the development at an entrance or convenient location for those entering the development. The submitted site plan does not show the property management office, maintenance storage area, or mailbox location. Prior to the Commission hearing, the applicant shall submit a site plan that meets this requirement. c. At a minimum, 250 s.f. of common open space is required for each unit containing more than 500 s.f. and up to 1,200 s.f. of living area. Because all of the proposed units (48) contain between 500 and 1,200 square feet of living area, a minimum of 12,000 s.f. (or 0.275 acres) of common open space is required to be provided. A total of 0.561 acres of passive and active open space is proposed. Common open space is required to be a minimum of 400 s.f. in area with a minimum length and width dimension of 20 feet. The applicant is proposing that the open space and site amenities proposed with this project are shared in common between the multi- family and single family developments. d. For multi-family developments between 20 and 75 units or more, 3 site amenities are required to be provided with at least one from each category listed in UDC 11-4-3-27D. Because 48 units are proposed, 3 amenities must be provided for the site with at least one from each category (i.e. quality of life, open space, recreation). The applicant proposes to provide the following amenities: 1) open grassy area at least fifty by one hundred feet in size, 2) a bocce ball court, 3) gazebo/plaza, 4) a community garden and 5) interconnected pathway system. Staff is supportive of the number of amenities proposed with this development. e. The architectural design of the structures shall comply with the standards set forth in the Architectural Standards Manual. EXHIBIT A Maddyn Village Subdivision – H-2016-0075 PAGE 9 The conceptual elevations for both the 4-plex structures and the 8-plex structures are included in Exhibit A.4. Staff is supportive of the proposed multi-family structures as they appear to generally comply with the standards of the Architectural Standards Manual. The four-plex structures should provide variation in materials and colors as required by the ASM. To enhance the design of the proposed four-plexes, staff recommends the applicant provide a decorative stone base around the columns of the proposed patios. If the applicant complies with this requirement staff is supportive of the proposed elevations. Further, renderings have not been provided for the carport structures. Staff recommends the proposed carports must be painted or powder coated to complement the overall color scheme for the development. f. Landscaping is required to comply with UDC 11-4-3-27-F. All street facing elevations shall have landscaping along their foundation as follows: the landscaped area shall be at least 3-feet wide and have an evergreen shrub with a minimum mature height of 24 inches for every 3 linear feet of foundation. The remainder of the area shall be landscaped with ground cover plans. The landscape plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance should comply with this requirement for the sides of the structures that face N. Meridian Road. g. The development is required to record legally binding documents that state the maintenance and ownership responsibilities for the management of the development, including, but not limited to, structures, parking, common areas, and other development features. The applicant should submit documentation of compliance with this requirement with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application or prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy at the latest. h. Parking: Off-street vehicle parking is required to be provided on the site in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-6. For multi-family developments, parking standards are based on the number of bedrooms per unit – 1-bedroom units require 1.5 spaces per unit with at least one of those in a covered carport or garage and 2-bedroom units require 2 spaces per unit with at least one of those in a covered carport or garage. All of the units in the proposed development will have 2 bedrooms. A total of 96 parking spaces are required, with 48 in covered spaces. The applicant has provided 101 parking spaces total, but has not depicted which ones are to be covered. With the submittal of the CZC application, the applicant must depict a total of 48 covered parking stalls in accord with is UDC standard. A minimum of one bicycle parking space for every 25 proposed vehicle spaces or portion thereof is required to be provided on the site per UDC 11-3C-6G in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-5C. Based on 101 vehicle spaces proposed to be provided on the site, a minimum of four (4) bicycle spaces are required. The site plan depicts that seven (7) bike racks dispersed throughout the development in accord with this requirement. i. Service areas: On-site service areas, outdoor storage areas, waste storage, disposal facilities, and transformer or utility vaults shall be fully screened from view from any public street.

Preliminary Plat The proposed plat consists of 39 building lots and 6 common lots on 10.4 acres of land in proposed R-8 and R-15 zoning districts (see Exhibit A.2). The gross density for the R-8 portion of the subdivision is 5.04 d.u./acre with a net density of 4.22 d.u./acre. The gross density for the R-15 portion of the subdivision is 13.63 d.u./acre. The average lot size for the single-family lots is 7,921 square feet. Existing Structures: There are two existing homes and associated outbuildings on the site that are proposed to remain on Lots 16 and 31, Block 1. All existing structures that are proposed to remain with subdivision of the property must comply with the setback standards of the R-8 district per UDC Table 11-2A-6; or be removed prior to City Engineer signature on the final plat. Additionally, staff recommends that the existing homes connect to city utilities and terminate their access to N. Meridian Road with the first phase of development. Since the existing homes will no longer have access to N. Meridian Road, the property owner will have to coordinate with the City’s Addressing Specialist and obtain a new street addresses from the adjacent local street (Elsinore Way). Note: There is an existing outbuilding on Lot 31, Block 1 that will be located within the required street yard with the subdividing of the property. The UDC restricts detached accessory dwellings from being located in this setback (UDC 11-2A-3D). The applicant is requesting that the City Council allow the accessory building remain on the property in its current location. Staff recommends that the structure be removed with the development of the first phase unless approved to remain by City Council. Dimensional Standards: Development of this site is required to comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC 11-2A-3 and Table 11-2A-6 for the R-8 district and 11-2A-7 for the R-15 zoning district.

Required Findings from Unified Development Code 1. Annexation Findings: Upon recommendation from the Commission, the Council shall make a full investigation and shall, at the public hearing, review the application. In order to grant an annexation, the Council shall make the following findings: a. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan; The Applicant is proposing to annex the subject 10.4 acres of land, (6.9 acres with an R-8 zoning district and 3.5 acres with an R-15 zoning district) and develop 27 new single-family residential homes two (2) existing single-family homes and 48 multi-family units on 10 lots. Commission finds that the proposed map amendment complies with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and should be compatible with adjacent residential uses (see section VII above for more information). b. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district, specifically the purpose statement; Council finds that the proposed map amendment to the R-8 and R-15 zoning district is consistent with the purpose statement for the residential districts as detailed in Section VIII above. c. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare; Council finds that the proposed zoning map amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare. City utilities will be extended at the expense of the applicant. The Council considers any oral or written testimony that may be provided when determining this finding. d. 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; and, Council finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not result in any adverse impact upon the delivery of services by any political subdivision providing services to this site. e. The annexation is in the best of interest of the City (UDC 11-5B-3.E). Council finds annexing this property with an R-8 and R-15 zoning district is in the best interest of the City if the applicant revises the plat per staff’s recommendation and enters into a development agreement. 2. Preliminary Plat Findings: In consideration of a preliminary plat, combined preliminary and final plat, or short plat, the decision-making body shall make the following findings: a. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan; Council finds that the proposed plat is in substantial compliance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan in regard to land use, transportation, and circulation.

Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to accommodate the proposed development; Council finds that public services will be provided to the subject property upon development. (See Exhibit B of the Staff Report for more details from public service providers.) c. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the City’s capital improvement program; Because City water and sewer and any other utilities will be provided by the development at their own cost, Council finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital improvement funds. d. There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development; The Council relies upon comments from the public service providers (i.e., Police, Fire, ACHD, etc.) to determine this finding. (See Exhibit B for more detail.) e. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare; and Council is not aware of any health, safety, or environmental problems associated with the platting of this property. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. Council considers any public testimony that may be presented when determining whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or environmental problems of which Council is unaware. f. The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features. Council is unaware of any significant natural, scenic or historic features that exist on this site. 3. Conditional Use Permit Findings: The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed conditional use in terms of the following, and may approve a conditional use permit if they shall find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish: a. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and meet all the dimensional and development regulations in the district in which the use is located. Council finds that if the site is designed in accord with the site plan in Exhibit A and the conditions of approval in Exhibit B, the site will be large enough to accommodate the proposed use and meet the dimensional and development regulations of the R-15 zoning district and the specific use standards for multi-family developments. b. That the proposed use will be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accord with the requirements of this Title. Council finds that the proposed multi-family residential use in the R-15 zone meets the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. c. That the design, construction, operation and maintenance will be compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the EXHIBIT A Maddyn Village Subdivision – H-2016-0075 PAGE 28 general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential character of the same area. Council finds that the general design, construction, operation and maintenance of the multi- family use will be compatible with existing residential and future residential uses in the vicinity and with the existing and intended character of the vicinity so as to not adversely change the character of the area. Council considers any public testimony that may be presented to determine whether or not the proposal will adversely affect the other properties in the area. d. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity. Council finds that the proposed development should not adversely affect other property in the vicinity if the applicant complies with all conditions of approval listed in Exhibit B of this staff report and constructs all improvements and operates the use in accordance with the UDC standards. e. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, schools, parks, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, and sewer. Council finds that sanitary sewer, domestic water and irrigation can be made available to the subject property. Please refer to comments prepared by the Public Works Department, Fire Department, Police Department and other agencies. f. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional costs for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. Council finds that the applicant will pay to extend the sanitary sewer and water mains into the site. No additional capital facility costs are expected from the City. The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay impact fees. g. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. Council finds that the proposed development should not involve activities that will create nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding area. Council recognizes the fact that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this development; however, whenever undeveloped property is developed, the amount of traffic generation does increase. h. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance. Council finds that the proposed development will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of any natural feature(s) of major importance. Council referenced any public testimony that was presented when making the determination as to whether or not the proposed development would destroy or damage a natural or scenic feature(s) of major importance of which Council is unaware.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) currently designates this property as Mixed Use - Regional (MU-R). The purpose of this designation is to provide a mix of employment, retail, and residential dwellings and public uses near major arterial intersections. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses together, including residential, and to avoid predominantly single use developments such as a regional retail center with only restaurants and other commercial uses. Developments should be anchored by uses that have a regional draw with the appropriate supporting uses. Fox example, an employment center should have support retail uses; a retail center should have supporting residential uses as well as support retail uses; a retail center should have supporting residential uses as well as supportive neighborhood and community services. The standards for the MU-R designation provide an incentive for larger public and quasi-public uses where they provide a meaningful and appropriate mix to the developments. The developments are encouraged to be designed according to the conceptual MU-R plan depicted in Figure 3-5 of the Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is located adjacent to N. Eagle Road and E. Overland Road, both major arterial roads. The proposed townhouse development will integrate with the existing and future multi-family housing, retail, restaurant and commercial uses in the area and support these uses. This site is proposed to develop with medium high-density single-family residential uses at a gross density of 14.96 dwelling units per acre (d.u./acre) in the R-15 zoning district. The proposed townhouse development consists of 20 dwelling units on 1.38 acres of land. The proposed use should contribute to the mix of housing opportunities in this area adjacent to retail, office, employment and restaurant uses near major intersections (S. Eagle Road & E. Overland Road), consistent with the plan for MU-R designated areas. The following items are considered when reviewing development applications in Mixed Use areas: (Staff’s analysis in italics)  “Residential densities should be a minimum of 6 dwelling units/acre.” (pg. 23) The proposed gross density of the development is 14.96 dwelling units/acre.  “Where feasible, higher density and/or multi-family residential development will be encouraged, especially for projects with the potential to serve as employment, destination centers and when the project is adjacent to US 20/26, SH-55, SH-16 or SH-69.” (pg. 23) The proposed project provides for higher density single-family residential development adjacent to S. Eagle Road and employment uses to the east while contributing to the variety of housing options in this area. This area is predominately developed with multi-family and single family residential uses. Staff believes the prosed townhome development will provide additional housing options near employment and mobility corridors.  “A mixed use project should include at least 3 types of land uses; exceptions may be granted for smaller sites on a case by case basis.” (pg. 24) The larger area consists of a mix of commercial office, retail, restaurant and multi-family residential uses consistent with the MU-R designation.  “Support a variety of residential categories (low-, medium-, medium-high and high-density single-family, multi-family, townhouses, duplexes, apartments, condominiums, etc.) for the purpose of providing the City with a range of affordable housing opportunities.” (3.07.01E) Although staff is unaware of how “affordable” the proposed units will be, the medium high- density townhouse development will contribute to the variety of lot sizes, prices and types of EXHIBIT A Laurel Townhouses MDA, PP, RZ H-2016-0065 PAGE 5 housing in this area.  “Provide for a wide diversity of housing types (single-family, modular, mobile homes and multi-family arrangements) and choices between ownership and rental dwelling units for all income groups in a variety of locations suitable for residential development.” (3.07.03 B, pg. 56) The proposed townhomes may contribute to the choice between ownership and rental dwelling units in this area of the City; however, staff is unaware if these will be owner occupied or rental dwelling units.  “Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City.” (3.01.01F, pg. 45) City services are available to this development.  “Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels.” (3.06.01F, pg. 53) The proposed townhouse development should be compatible with existing multi-family homes to the east, south and west.  “Restrict private curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets.” (3.06.02D) There are no access points for this site on collector or arterial streets.  “Evaluate comprehensive impact of growth in all land use decisions (e.g., traffic impacts, school enrollment, parks, etc.) (3.01.01B) A letter has been received from the Ada West School District commenting on this application. Based on U.S. census data, the District estimates that when complete, this development will add approximately 16 school aged children to the enrollment numbers of schools within the Ada West district. The District estimates that the revenue required for the purchase of future school sites is $830.00 per new home which will create the need for $16,600.00 in revenue to purchase the school sites this subdivision will require. In lieu of this revenue, the District will accept the donation of land appropriate for a school site (see letter to the City dated July 15, 2016 for more information).  “Ensure development provides safe routes and access to schools, parks and other community gathering places.” (3.07.02N) The sidewalk across the street (E. Goldstone St.) from the subject property to the north connects to a pathway from Mountain View High School for safe pedestrian access to the school.  “Locate high-density development, where possible, near open space corridors or other permanent major open space and park facilities, Old Town, and near major access thoroughfares.” (3.07.02, pg. 55) The proposed medium high-density development is located near major access thoroughfares [S. Eagle Road, E. Overland Road and Interstate 84]. A 4-acre City Park (Gordon Harris) exists to the southeast of this site with access via a multi-use pathway along the west boundary of the Gramercy development. EXHIBIT A Laurel Townhouses MDA, PP, RZ H-2016-0065 PAGE 6 VIII. ANALYSIS A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT MODIFICATION (MDA): A modification to the existing development agreement (DA) (Instrument No. 108022888) is requested to change the use and building elevations from live/work units to solely living units. Although staff would like to see the integration of live/work units in this area, staff is amenable to the proposed change and feels it will be compatible with existing and future multi-family and commercial uses in the area. Staff’s recommended changes to the development agreement are in Exhibit A.6 below. REZONE (RZ): A rezone of 1.87 acres of land is proposed from the TN-R to the R-15 zoning district consistent with the MU-R FLUM designation. The rezone will facilitate the development of 20 townhome units on the site. The legal description submitted with the application, included in Exhibit C, shows the boundaries of the property proposed to be rezoned. The City may require a development agreement (DA) in conjunction with a rezone pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. Because an amendment to the existing DA is proposed with this application that will update the agreement in accord with the proposed plan, staff does not recommend a new DA is required for this site. PRELIMINARY PLAT (PP): A preliminary plat is proposed that consists of 20 building lots and 7 common lots on 1.38 acres of land in the proposed R-15 zoning district. Dimensional Standards: The lots in the proposed subdivision are required to comply with the dimensional standards of the R-15 zoning district listed in UDC Table 11-2A-7. Staff has reviewed the proposed plat and found it in compliance with these standards. Building setbacks are required to comply with the setbacks noted in UDC Table 11-2A-7 for the R-15 district. Access: A north/south minor urban local street is proposed along the east boundary of the site. A public alley is proposed off the local street for access to the proposed townhomes. Construction of the alley is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-6C-3B.5 and Fire Department standards. Landscaping: Landscaping is required along the pathway in Lot 7, Block 1 and Lot 7, Block 2 in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C as shown on the landscape plan. Street buffer landscaping is not required with this development although the landscape plan depicts landscaping adjacent to S. Tavistock Avenue and the public street along the east boundary of the site. Sidewalks: Attached sidewalks exist around the north, west and south boundaries of the site adjacent to existing local public streets and a 5-foot wide detached sidewalk exists on the east side of the proposed north/south street. A 5-foot wide (attached or detached) sidewalk is required to be constructed along the west side of the proposed north/south street in accord with UDC 11- 3A-17. Pathways: A north/south pedestrian pathway is proposed mid-block between E. Blue Tick St. and E. Goldstone St. EXHIBIT A Laurel Townhouses MDA, PP, RZ H-2016-0065 PAGE 7 Common Open Space & Site Amenities: Because this site is below 5 acres in size, there is no minimum requirement for qualified open space and site amenities. However, open space and site amenities were provided with the Gramercy Subdivision No. 1. Parking: Off-street parking shall be provided as set forth in UDC Table 11-3C-6 for townhouse units. For 2 and 3 bedroom units, a minimum of 4 vehicle spaces are required per unit, at least 2 in an enclosed garage, other spaces may be enclosed or a minimum 10’ x 20’ parking pad. Fencing: No fencing is proposed with this development. All fencing should comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. Waterways: There are no open waterways on this site. Utilities: All development is required to connect to the City water and sewer system unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. Street lighting is required to be installed within the development in accord with the City’s adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Pressurized Irrigation (PI): An underground PI system is proposed to be provided to each lot in the subdivision in accord with UDC 11-3A-15. The system will be operated and maintained by the Homeowner’s Association. Storm Drainage: A storm drainage system is required for the development in accord with the City’s adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction shall follow best management practice as adopted by the City in accord with UDC 11-3A-18. Stormwater is proposed to be retained in an onsite detention area in accord with ACHD requirements. Building Elevations: Conceptual sample building elevations for townhomes within this development have been submitted as shown in Exhibit A.5. All townhouse structures are required to comply with the design standards listed in the Architectural Standards Manual. An administrative design review application must be submitted and approved to the Planning Division prior to applying for a building permit Staff recommends approval of the proposed MD, RZ and PP applications with the conditions included in Exhibit B.

Meridian is one of six cities in Ada County, Idaho. City limits encompass approximately 33 square miles, and the Area of City Impact contains 60 square miles. There are over 70,000 residents in Meridian, making it the third largest city in Idaho. To preserve some of the small town character and charm, while looking to progress as a community, the City enacts this Comprehensive Plan. Plan Purpose and Scope The purpose of the City of Meridian’s Comprehensive Plan is to integrate the concerns and expressions of the community into a document that guides the City on how to grow and develop. The plan uses maps, tables and narrative to Figure 1-1. MeriDiAN ViCiNiTY MAP Chapter 2 1 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan describe the City, provide a vision of a desired future, and recommend specific measures to reach that future. The required components of a comprehensive plan specified in the Idaho Code include private property rights; population; economic development; land use; natural resources; hazardous areas; public services, facilities, and utilities; transportation; recreation; special areas or sites; housing; community design; implementation; national interest electric transmission corridors, and any other component which may be necessary. One of the primary uses of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide direction for land use regulations, including zoning, as well as other implementation actions. Idaho Code § 67-6511 requires that: “The zoning districts shall be in accordance with the adopted plans.” All legislative requirements, specifically the Idaho Local Land Use Planning Act, are addressed in the plan. Idaho Code § 67-6508 (the Local Land Use Planning Act) provides for a planning process as follows: “Prepare, implement, and review and update a comprehensive plan, hereafter referred to as the plan. The plan shall include all land within the jurisdiction of the governing board. The plan shall consider previous and existing conditions, trends, desirable goals and objectives, or desirable future situations for each planning component. The plan with maps, charts, and reports shall be based on the following components unless the plan specifies reasons why a particular component is unneeded.” The plan is intended to work in concert with the City’s ordinances and specific area plans. It is based not only on the concerns and expressions of the community, but upon the Existing Conditions Report that is adopted concurrently as an addendum to this plan. The Existing Conditions Report includes background information and analysis about the built and natural environment in Meridian today (2010), trends, and a strategic plan for the future. Together, the Existing Conditions Report and the Comprehensive Plan address all of the elements required in the Local Land Use Planning Act of Idaho. This plan applies to all geographic areas within Meridian’s jurisdiction, including its surrounding Area of City Impact. Plan goals, objectives, and action items are designed to address a 10- to 15-year period, although some of the elements and action items address a longer timeframe. Nature of the Plan The Meridian Comprehensive Plan is an official policy guide for decisions concerning the physical development of the community. The Plan establishes goals, objectives and action items to implement the City’s policies regarding growth. The Plan works in concert with City Code and other planning-related documents like the City’s Strategic Plan, the City’s Sewer and Water Master Plans, the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, and Capital Improvement Plans. It is also used in “...integrate the con- cerns and expressions of the community into a document that guides the City on how to grow and de- velop.” City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 1 3 Chapter conjunction with each City department’s strategic plan and action plan. The Plan is not a set of standards or a means to enforce City Code. Instead, it indicates, in a general way, how the community should develop. Citizens, developers, the Planning and Zoning Commission, as well as the City Council and other groups, are all involved in shaping community development and have a primary responsibility to coordinate and direct the overall pattern of development activities within the community. The City Council, with recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, make development decisions concerning annexation, rezoning, and subdivision developments at public hearings, as well as conditional use permits, variances, and planned unit developments. Due to their responsibilities, it is necessary for the City to implement technical guidelines and adopt policies which will provide the framework for resolving questions relating to appropriateness of proposed physical development and whether they add to the quality of life to Meridian citizens and are in the best interest of the City. The City also needs to establish long-range implementation items for coordinated, unified development of public improvement projects. Plan History and Preparation Meridian’s first Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1978. That first plan was developed to meet the requirements of the newly enacted1975 Land Use Planning Act of the State of Idaho, Title 67, Chapter 65. During the summer of 1993, citizens representing neighborhood groups, developers, real estate professionals, and public agencies participated in a Comprehensive Plan update process; a modernized City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan was adopted on December 21, 1993. In August 1998, the Meridian City Council adopted the Meridian Vision Statement. By June 1999, the process of developing Meridian’s 2002 Comprehensive Plan had begun, with eventual adoption by the City Council on August 6, 2002. A significant amount of time has elapsed and growth occurred, since the 2002 version of the Comprehensive Plan. To ensure that the document remains relevant and to make it more useable, today’s City leaders recognize that a significant overhaul is needed. Many goals, objectives, and actions outlined in the 2002 plan remain. However, some changes to the plan are in order as some of the items have already been performed, objectives met, or are no longer desired. Additionally, new initiatives like sustainability and a City Arts Commission have commenced since 2002 and need to be addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. 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. “A man who does not think and plan long ahead will find trouble right at his door.” -Confucius” Chapter 4 1 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 5. Expand commercial and industrial development. 6. Improve transportation. 7. Protect Meridian’s self-identity. These important community values were expressed originally in the 1993 Comprehensive Plan and again reaffirmed during the 2002 planning process. These values continue to drive the policies contained in this 2010 update to the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. City staff used survey information, workshops, steering committees, town hall meetings, and social media sites as public involvement tools to help steer the 2010 update to the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Community input solicited throughout the planning process helps ensure community support for the updated goals, objectives and action items that are created or updated as part of that involvement. For the 2010 version of the Comprehensive Plan, appropriate carry-over goals, objectives and action items were included from the 1993 and 2002 versions of the Plan, and new policy statements were composed from various stakeholders, sub-committees and general public input. The goal is to make the Comprehensive Plan a better resource that the general public, developers and decision makers can all help implement making Meridian a premier place to live, work and raise a family. Plan Vision The Plan establishes a future vision and course of action based on the issues and concerns of the community. The vision adopted by the leaders of our premier city is to promote a safe and vibrant community by implementing the principles and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The Mayor and Council provide effective and responsible leadership, positive staff development, maximize available resources, and improve connectivity to our community. As a caring City we are committed to fiscal responsibility, public involvement, strategic partnerships and economic vitality. To that end, the City has established five City-wide strategic focus areas where City departments work together to guide growth, create jobs and a sustainable economic base, provide services, and be good stewards of the public trust, with trained staff that are committed to the City’s core values. Plan Structure The Comprehensive Plan is structured around the community’s vision as well as the City’s Focus Areas and Initiatives. A brief explanation about each topic then follows, explaining the underlying need addressing each element. At the end of each chapter is a list of the goals, objectives and action items best represented in the chapter. Included in the table listing the goals, objectives and specific action items is a column that assigns a responsible lead (e.g. City department) to each action item (element). Finally, Glossary Terms, Acronyms and Abbreviations, a Regulatory Takings Checklist, and the Future Land Use Map are included as appendices to this Plan. ““Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.” - Robert Louis Stevenson City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 1 5 Chapter Using this Document There are several groups of people that will use this document in different ways: citizens, applicants for development, and City staff, Commissioners and elected officials. Citizens are encouraged to use this document to better understand the City’s vision for their neighborhood, their business, and the City as a whole. The Plan is formatted so goals, objectives, and action items that may be of interest are easy to find. Applicants for development can also use this document to better understand the City’s vision. The intent is to provide clear expectations on the obligations and permissions generally described within the Comprehensive Plan; our hope is to provide a greater certainty in creating a successful project that matches the City’s vision, addresses the concerns of neighboring properties, and provides the flexibility to accomplish a developer’s vision as well. Finally, this document will be frequently used by City staff, City commissions and task forces, and elected officials. It will not only be used by the Planning Department in reviewing development applications, but also by other departments in crafting their annual strategic plans and in developing and implementing their capital improvement and master plans. Implementation of the Plan will take hard work and dedication from the entire community. Hopefully, everyone finds the organization of this document to be user friendly and the goals, objectives and action items representative of the community’s vision.

Its charming history tells the story of a small town tied to its agricultural roots, while its future will depend on growing industry, spurring small business development and thriving neighborhoods. Community Design The City continues to upgrade community design standards for landscaping, site design and signs through the adoption of updated ordinance criteria that ensure development occurs in a compatible, attractive manner. The City adopted a Design Manual1 by Resolution Number 09-647 on January 27th, 2009 as an addendum to the City’s Comprehensive Plan. On February 16th, 2016, the City replaced the Design Manual with an Architectural Standards Manual (ASM). The ASM includes standards that are part of the citywide design review process that encourages the aesthetic development of the physical and built environment and results in an attractive, livable community. For their parts in the design review process, the ASM focuses on building design and the Unified Development Code on site design. Community design goals and objectives focus on protecting and improving the unique elements of the natural and built environment that contribute value Meridian’s quality of place. The inherent goal of community design is to improve on the livability and quality of life for not only current, but also future generations of Meridian residents. For the purpose of this document, community design includes analysis primarily on design review. However, community design ties back in with sustainability, livability, healthy initiatives, as well as other elements of this plan. Quality of Life and Livability Quality of life can be used to express the overall well- being of individuals within a community. Elements such as health, safety, land use, transportation, sewer and water service, parks and recreation, housing are all 1 Go to http://www.meridiancity.org/planning.aspx?id=230 GUIDE TO COMMUNITY CHARACTER The following material helps to identify key design characteristics and benefits of different development densities. For additional information, see the City of Meridian Design Manual. Keys to Rural Character »Wide-open landscapes with no sense of enclosure, and views to the horizon mostly unbroken by buildings »Structures are in the background or invisible entirely as they blend into the landscape »Very high open-space ratios and very low building cov- erage »Great building separation, providing privacy and detach- ment from neighboring dwellings Keys to Sub-Urban Character »More horizontal development than the rural class with broader spacing than the urban class »Space enclosure, if any, is provided by trees and vegeta- tion rather than buildings »Large building setbacks from streets with more “green” and open space versus on-lot driveways and on-lot park- ing surfaces »More building setbacks from streets with more “green” and open space versus on-lot driveways and on-lot park- ing surfaces »More building separation, through larger setbacks and, in some cases, larger lot »Much lower lot coverage and a correspondingly higher open spaces ration on lots »More extensive vegetation and landscaping Keys to Urban Character »Streets and other public spaces are framed by buildings »Housing types range from small, narrower single-family lots dominated by driveways and front-loaded garages (auto-urban) to attached residential (e.g., brownstones, town houses) and multi-family dwellings with alley access or rear garages (urban). Yard and landscaped areas are reduced »Smaller front and side setbacks with a tighter building spacing »Most conductive for pedestrian activity and interaction »Higher densities allow for additional amenities otherwise not cost effective in lower densities Schwab, Jim, (2010, Dec). Defining and Measuring Community Character. ZoningPractice, Vol.27, No.12, 6-7 Chapter 8 2 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan critical to daily life and are typically addressed in a comprehensive plan. Other elements like education opportunities, arts and entertainment opportunities, a sound job market, and sustainability are also factors which can help gauge whether a community is creating a thriving environment for its citizens. This Plan addresses all of these elements (and more). Some of the elements addressed in this Plan are more difficult than others to describe and measure. At its heart though, everything set in this document seeks to improve the health, safety, well-being, and quality of life for existing and future residents of Meridian. Quality of life generally represents the social well-being of individuals in a community. Livability is another term used to express the overall relationship between community members and the satisfaction residents derive from their surroundings. These livability and quality of life factors can be both public service related and derived from the quality of the built environment, the quality of place. Generally, elements such as security, environmental beautification, public cleanliness, social and cultural opportunities, travel, career opportunities, and natural resources contribute to the overall livability of an area. Livability is largely affected by conditions in the public realm, and elements share interconnected relationships where they hold more value than their sum total, as an increased or declining value in one element can have dramatic impacts on the actual and perceived values of others. Benchmarks for measuring livability and quality of life are difficult to describe. Often places that are livable have the “it” factor. They are neighborhoods where everyone wants to be at and seen in. One could argue that Meridian’s popularity indicates that many of the livability factors are present in most areas of Meridian; that most Meridian residents perceive their community as a safe, accessible, and attractive place to live. Other anecdotal evidence of success could be 2010 awards from publications such as CNN/Money Magazine, which placed Meridian at 62 in their “100 Best Places to Live”, or Family Circle Magazine which included Meridian in their “Ten Best Towns for Families” list. That being stated, there is still room to grow towards making Meridian even more livable. Below are excellent examples of programs intent on improving overall quality of life in Meridian. Streets, Pathways and Sidewalks: A healthy community is one that has good connectivity between residential areas and community gathering places as well as streets that serve multiple users. • Safe Routes to School: The Meridian School District is currently working on a master Safe Routes map that designates pedestrian routes to and from schools. The City and the School District annually partner to City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 2 9 Chapter compile a list of high priority pedestrian projects for ACHD’s Community Programs. As part of the development review process, the City regularly requires developers to install sidewalk, micro-pathways and multi-use pathways that connect to school sites. • Complete Streets: The City and transportation agencies in the region are committed to ensuring that streets, bridges and transit stops are designed, constructed, operated and maintained so that pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, motorists and people of all ages and abilities can travel safely and independently. The City strives to balance the needs of all users while creating attractive corridors. • Mobility Management: COMPASS has developed a Mobility Management Implementation Guidebook which highlights design guidelines for creating communities that promote a multi-modal transportation approach appropriate for seniors, youth, and other non-drivers. City staff uses the Mobility Management Implementation Guidebook when reviewing development. Child Care: Accessible, affordable and quality before- and after-school child care is another necessary component of creating a healthy and livable community. A robust local system of child care and early education programs has social, economic and environmental benefits for children, families and the community as a whole. The American Planning Association (APA) advocates including child care policies within local planning. Creating policies, identifying local resources and working with developers and community partners, the City hopes to have a more proactive and positive influence on the child care programs being provided in the future. Youth Programs: The City recognizes that our youth are approximately one- third of our population but 100% of our future. • Boys & Girls Club: As part of its commitment to its youth, the City encourages, supports, and partners with groups like the Boys & Girls Club. The City works with the Boys & Girls Club by providing monetary assistance to offset the transportation costs associated with getting kids to and from the club. Funding, provided through the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allows the club to provide this service to primarily children of low- to moderate income families. • Mayor’s Anti-Drug Coalition: The Meridian Mayor’s Anti-Drug Coalition (MADC) is a grass-roots volunteer organization initiated by the executive order of Mayor Tammy de Weerd in January 2004 in response to her concern about the rising rates of drug use in the Treasure Valley. Educating adults and youth about the harmful and costly direct and indirect effects of drug abuse has been a longstanding goal of the coalition. In addition, the MADC is confronting a complex set of factors that contribute to our youth abusing substances. “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” - Anatole France Chapter 10 2 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan • The Mayor’s Youth Advisory is a group of students dedicated to serving their community. More than a community service organization MYAC instills leadership skills that participants will use their entire life. MYAC members work alongside local and national service organizations on very diverse projects. Participants are in grades 9 – 12 and attend one of Meridian’s high schools or are home-schooled. Senior Programs: Providing accessible and suitable housing options that are easily accessible to community destinations are key to allowing older adults to remain independent, active and engaged with the community. Housing for seniors that is integrated into the fabric of the community is becoming increasing important as the Baby Boom Generation enters retirement. Keeping our seniors active with easy access to a variety if groups, clubs, and activities is vital to retaining the wealth of wisdom, knowledge, and guidance they can provide our community. Healthy Initiatives For the purposes of defining health and implementing healthy initiatives, the City looks to the Partnership for Sustainable Communities, an interagency agreement between Housing and Urban Development (HUD), U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to help define what a healthy community looks like. These initiatives are a combination of the social services and the physical built aspects of the community. The six principles for a healthy community include: • Provide more transportation choices: Develop safe, reliable and economical transportation choices to decrease household transportation costs, reduce dependence on foreign oil, improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote public health. • Promote equitable, affordable housing: Expand location- and energy- efficient housing choices for people of all ages, incomes, races and ethnicities to increase mobility and lower the combined cost of housing and transportation. • Enhance economic competitiveness: Improve economic competitiveness through reliable and timely access to employment centers, educational opportunities, services and other basic needs by workers as well as expanded business access to markets. • Support existing communities: Target federal funding toward existing communities through such strategies as transit-oriented, mixed-use development and land recycling to increase community revitalization, improve the efficiency of public works investments, and safeguard rural landscapes. “Keeping our seniors active with easy ac- cess to a variety if groups, clubs, and activities is vital to re- taining the wealth of wisdom, knowledge, and guidance they can provide our com- munity.” City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 2 11 Chapter • Coordinate policies and leverage investment: Align federal policies and funding to remove barriers to collaboration, leverage funding and increase the accountability and effectiveness of all levels of government to plan for future growth, including making smart energy choices such as locally generated renewable energy. • Value communities and neighborhoods: Enhance the unique characteristics of all communities by investing in healthy, safe and walkable neighborhoods – rural, urban or suburban. Many of these principles align with values Meridian residents have expressed as important, and goals the City seeks to improve to make Meridian more livable, healthy and improve overall quality of life. 12 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan ~ This page left intentionally blank ~ 13City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 2Chapter I.D.GOALS / OBJECTIVES / ACTION ITEMS ELEMENT PRIORITY RESPONSIBLE

3 – Strategic Growth Since 1990, Meridian experienced exponential growth that has changed both its character and appearance. From 1990 to 2007, Meridian’s population grew from approximately 10,000 to over 65,000. Despite some recent slowdowns in housing starts and job creation, the population of Meridian continues to increase with an estimated population of 75,290 in 2009 according to the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS). A population growth forecast performed by COMPASS, and analyzed in the Existing Condition Report, forecasts that the population of Meridian will increase to 138,564 by 2035, an increase of over 70% from the 2009 estimated population. Over the last 20 years, property in and around Meridian has changed from primarily agricultural to a more diverse mix of residential, commercial, and industrial uses. That trend is likely to continue as land traditionally used for agriculture, continues to be developed to support the needs of an ever-growing community. Today, the City of Meridian has over 17,000 acres within its municipal boundaries and—at full build out—is anticipated to incorporate approximately 39,000 acres within its Area of City Impact. Chapter 18 3 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan Area of City Impact In accord with § 67-6526 of Idaho Code, an Area of City Impact (AOCI) has been established for Meridian. The City’s AOCI is the future planning area for the City, where annexation and development within the future municipal boundary of Meridian is anticipated. Although these areas are not yet incorporated, planning responsibilities for these lands rest with the City of Meridian while zoning and land use authority is maintained by Ada County. There is an agreement between Ada County and Meridian for the Area of City Impact. This agreement states that the current Meridian Comprehensive Plan will apply within the City’s established AOCI. Within the AOCI, the county has generally applied a Rural Urban Transition (RUT) zone which permits five-acre- lot, single-family residential development, as well as agricultural-related uses and a range of conditional uses. County development applications within the Area of City Impact are reviewed by the City of Meridian for compliance with the comprehensive plan and applicable City policies. The City of Meridian desires all development within its Area of City Impact to be served with urban services from the City of Meridian. Such services primarily include sanitary sewer, water, reclaimed water, fire, police, and parks. Secondarily, the City will consider the availability and capacity of the school system, transportation facilities, libraries, and storm water facilities in any review of development within the Area of City Impact. All requests for annexation into the City limits will require that the owner extend City-owned services at the time of development. However, the City recognizes that some development may precede the ability of the City, on its own, to extend services for such development. Upon formal requests to the City for development that is on property not immediately serviceable with urban services, the City Council may consider said applications TAble 3-1.

The City recognizes that some development may precede our ability to annex the property. Developments within the AOCI but outside City limits will only be considered if the following standards and conditions are agreed to by the developer(s): • The development is connected to City of Meridian water and sanitary sewer systems and the extension to and through said developments are constructed in conformance with the City of Meridian Water and Sewer System Master Plans in effect at the time of development. • An irrevocable consent to annexation is a condition of hook-up to City sanitary sewer or water, is made a deed restriction on all buildable lots, and is placed as a note on all final plats. • All City sewer and water inspection and plan review fees (for the main lines) in effect at the time of development are paid to the City of Meridian. • Development is consistent with the Future Land Use Map designation for the property. The City of Meridian is committed to fulfilling the terms of its Area of City Impact Agreement with Ada County as well as similar agreements with neighboring cities including Eagle, Kuna, Star, and Boise. We also note the City’s intent to continue working with the County and surrounding cities on Area of City Impact boundaries and development policies. TAble 3-2.

Chapter 20 3 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan The Future Land Use Map Land Use is a key component of the Comprehensive Plan, as is mapping future land uses so that development occurs in the direction and manner most desired by Meridian’s citizens and elected officials. The Future Land Use Map (FLUM), see Appendix D, identifies the vision for a mix of land uses to implement the City’s many diverse goals and objectives, and works in conjunction with the text of the Comprehensive Plan, City code and the various policies of the City. However, the FLUM is not a zoning map and differs in that the FLUM describes the character and type of use that is desired in the future and not necessarily what is currently in place. The FLUM also depicts schools, parks, fire stations and other existing civic uses. The FLUM depicts a built-out Meridian that is very diverse in residential densities, commercial and industrial land uses as well as civic/public opportunities. Land use recommendations as set forth in this plan emphasize the importance of thoughtful and responsible land use planning, cooperation and collaboration among the various jurisdictions and agencies in the area, and preservation and enhancements of the high quality of life that currently exists in Meridian. The next several pages that follow include descriptions of the various future land use designations that appear on the FLUM. Residential The purpose of this designation is to provide a variety of housing types. Uses will include a range of densities varying from large estate lots to multi-family homes. Residential designations are as follows: • Rural / Estate: to allow for agricultural uses and the ancillary development of single-family homes on large parcels where city services (e.g. – sewer and water) may or may not be provided. Uses may include both small and larger-scale agricultural related activities and single-family homes at densities less than or equal to one unit per five acres. New development should recognize existing agricultural uses and practices, respect view sheds and open space, and maintain or improve the overall health and production of agricultural lands and resources in the area. • Low Density: to allow for the development of single-family homes on large lots where urban services are provided. Uses may include single-family homes at gross densities of three dwelling units or less per acre. Density bonuses may be considered with the provision of public amenities such as open space, pathways, or land dedicated for public services. • Medium Density: to allow smaller lots for residential purposes within City limits. Uses may include single-family homes at gross densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre. Density bonuses may be considered with the provision of public amenities such as open space, pathways, or land dedicated for public services. • Medium High Density: to allow for the development of a mix of relatively dense residential housing types including townhouses, condominiums and “Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice.” -Jim Collins City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 3 21 Chapter apartments. Residential gross densities should range from eight to fifteen dwelling units per acre, with a target density of twelve units per acre. These are relatively compact areas within the context of larger neighborhoods and are typically located around or near mixed use commercial or employment areas to provide convenient access to services and jobs for residents. Developments need to incorporate high quality architectural design and materials and thoughtful site design to ensure quality of place and should also incorporate connectivity with adjacent uses and area pathways, attractive landscaping and individual project identity. • High Density: to allow for the development of multi-family homes in areas where urban services are provided. Residential gross densities should exceed fifteen dwelling units per acre. Development might include duplexes, apartment buildings, townhouses, and other multi-unit structures. A desirable project would consider the placement of parking areas, fences, berms, and other landscaping features to serve as buffers between neighboring uses. Developments need to incorporate high quality architectural design and materials and thoughtful site design to ensure quality of place and should also incorporate high quality architectural design and materials and thoughtful site design that incorporate connectivity with adjacent uses and area pathways, attractive landscaping and individual project identity. Within residential areas the following policies shall apply: • At the discretion of City Council, areas with a Residential Comprehensive Plan designation may request an office use if the property only has frontage on an arterial street or section line road and is three acres or less in size. In this instance, no ancillary commercial uses shall be permitted. • In residential areas, other residential densities will be considered without requiring a Comprehensive Plan Amendment. However, the density can only be changed one “step” (i.e., from low to medium, not low to high, etc.). This provision does not apply to 1) the area bounded by Can- Ada, Chinden, McDermott, and Ustick Roads or 2) within the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan. • Residential uses north of Chinden Boulevard and within ¼ mile or less from the rim should have lot sizes ranging from one-half to one acre, ensuring compatibility with SpurWing Country Club to the east. Use of transitional lot sizes and clustering of smaller lots adjacent to the non- residential and rim property are encouraged. Commercial This designation will provide a full range of commercial and retail to serve area residents and visitors. Uses may include retail, wholesale, service and office uses, multi-family residential, as well as appropriate public uses such as government offices. Within this land use category, specific zones may be created to focus commercial activities unique to their locations. These zones may include “What is a city, but the people; true the people are the city.” -Coriolanus III Chapter 22 3 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan neighborhood commercial uses focusing on specialized service for residential areas adjacent to that zone. Office This designation will provide opportunities for low-impact business areas. These would include offices, technology and resource centers; ancillary commercial uses may be considered (particularly within research and development centers or technological parks). Industrial This designation allows a range of industrial uses to support industrial and commercial activities and to develop areas with sufficient urban services. Light industrial uses may include warehouses, storage units, light manufacturing, and incidental retail and offices uses. Heavy industrial uses may include processing, manufacturing, warehouses, storage units, and industrial support activities. In all cases, screening, landscaping, and adequate access should be provided. Old Town This designation includes the historic downtown and the true community center. The boundary of the Old Town district predominantly follows Meridian’s historic plat boundaries. In several areas, both sides of a street were incorporated into the boundary to encourage similar uses and complimentary design of the facing houses and buildings. Sample uses include offices, retail and lodging, theatres, restaurants, and service retail for surrounding residents and visitors. A variety of residential uses are also envisioned and could include reuse of existing buildings, new construction of multi-family residential over ground floor retail or office uses. The City has developed specific architectural standards for Old Town and other traditional neighborhood areas. Pedestrian amenities are emphasized in Old Town via streetscape standards. Public investment that ensures that Old Town becomes a centralized activity center, with public, cultural, and recreational structures are encouraged, and the City’s decision to build City Hall in Old Town is testament to its commitment to the area. Future planning in Old Town will be reviewed in accordance with Destination Downtown, a visioning document for redevelopment in downtown Meridian. Please see the Economic Excellence chapter for more information on Destination Downtown. Mixed Use Designations In general, the purpose of this designation is to provide for a combination of compatible land uses within a close geographic area that allows for easily accessible services for residents and the workers. The uses can be mixed vertically, such as a building with retail on the ground floor and offices above, or horizontally, such as a healthcare center with a mix of doctor offices, pharmacy, beauty salon, assisted care facilities, and apartments. Mixed use areas tend to have higher floor area ratios (less area devoted to parking), open space, and interconnected vehicular and pedestrian networks. A Mixed Use designation is typically used “It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.” -Eleanor Roosevelt City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 3 23 Chapter to identify a key area within the City which is either infill in nature or situated in a highly visible or transitioning area where innovative and flexible designs are encouraged. The intent of this designation is to promote developments that offer functional and physical integration of land uses while allowing developers a greater degree of design and use flexibility. Mixed Use areas are typically developed under a master or conceptual plan; during an annexation or rezone request, a development agreement will typically be required for developments with a Mixed Use designation. There are five sub-categories of the Mixed Use designation that are used throughout the City: Neighborhood, Community, Regional, Interchange, and Non- Residential. This section further describes the purpose, intent and development standards for these sub-categories. In addition, there are three sub-categories of the Mixed Use designation that are solely used in the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area: Commercial, Residential and Lifestyle Center. The land use designations within the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area are shown on the city-wide Future Land Use Map. However, the Mixed Use designations in the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area are different than those throughout the rest of the City and as described in this document. Mixed Use land use designations in the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area are not subject to this section. For detailed descriptions of the land use designations in the Ten Mile area, go directly to the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan2. For the purposes of the Mixed Use section, the City identifies five different land use types: 1) commercial [includes retail, restaurants, etc.]; 2) office; 3) residential; 4) civic [includes public open space, parks, entertainment venues, etc.]; and, 5) industrial. All development in Mixed Use areas fall within one of these five categories. Industrial uses are typically discouraged in residential mixed use areas. However, if the developer can demonstrate that industrial uses are compatible and appropriate in Mixed Use – Regional (MU-R), Mixed Use Non Residential (MU- NR) and Mixed Use Interchange (MU-I) areas, the City will consider industrial uses, when proposed as part of a Mixed Use development. In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in all Mixed Use areas: • Residential densities should be a minimum of six dwellings/acre. • Where feasible, higher density and/or multi-family residential development will be encouraged, especially for projects with the potential to serve as employment destination centers and when the project is adjacent to US 20/26, SH-55, SH-16 or SH-69. • A conceptual site plan for the entire mixed use area should be included in the application. • In developments where multiple commercial and/or office buildings are proposed (not residential), the buildings should be arranged to create some form of common, usable area, such as a plaza or green space. 2 Go to http://www.meridiancity.org/TMISAP/ “Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.” -Tom Landry Chapter 24 3 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan • The site plan should depict a transitional use and/or landscaped buffering between commercial and existing low- or medium-density residential development. • A mixed use project should include at least three types of land uses. Exceptions may be granted for smaller sites on a case-by-case basis. • Community-serving facilities such as hospitals, churches, schools, parks, daycares, civic buildings, or public safety facilities are expected in larger mixed use developments. • Supportive and proportional public and/or quasi-public spaces and places including but not limited to parks, plazas, outdoor gathering areas, open space, libraries, and schools are expected; outdoor seating areas at restaurants do not count. • All mixed use projects should be directly accessible to neighborhoods within the section by both vehicles and pedestrians. • Street sections consistent with the Ada County Highway District Master Street Map are required within the Unified Development Code. • Because of the existing small lots within Old Town, development is not subject to the Mixed Use standards listed herein. Mixed Use Neighborhood (MU-N). The purpose of this designation is to assign areas where neighborhood-serving uses and dwellings are seamlessly integrated into the urban fabric. The intent is to avoid predominantly single-use developments by incorporating a variety of uses. Land uses in these areas should be primarily residential with supporting non-residential services. Non-residential uses in these areas tend to be smaller scale and provide a good or service that people typically do not travel far for (approximately one mile) and need regularly. Employment opportunities for those living in the neighborhood are encouraged. Connectivity and access between the non-residential and residential land uses is particularly critical in MU-N areas. Tree-lined, narrow streets are encouraged. Developments are also encouraged to be designed according to the conceptual MU-N plan depicted in Figure 3-1. In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in MU-N areas: • Development should comply with the items listed for development in all Mixed Use areas. • Residential uses should comprise a minimum of 40% of the development area at densities ranging from six to 12 units/acre. • Non-residential buildings should be proportional to and blend in with residential buildings. “Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now” - Alan Lakein City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 3 25 Chapter • Unless a structure contains a mix of both residential and office, or residential and commercial land uses, maximum building size should be limited to a 20,000 square-foot building footprint. For the development of public school sites, the maximum building size does not apply. • Supportive and proportional public and/or quasi-public spaces and places such as parks, plazas, outdoor gathering areas, open space, libraries, and schools should comprise a minimum of 10% of the development area. Outdoor seating areas at restaurants do not count towards this requirement. • Where the development proposes public and quasi-public uses to support the development above the minimum 10%, the developer may be eligible for additional residential densities and/or an increase to the maximum building footprint. Sample uses appropriate in MU-N areas would include: townhouses, multi-family developments, neighborhood grocer, drug stores, coffee/sandwich/ice-cream shops, vertically integrated buildings, live-work spaces, dry cleaner/laundromat, salons/spas, daycares, neighborhood-scale professional offices, medical/dental clinics, gift shops, schools, parks, churches, clubhouses, public uses, and other appropriate neighborhood-scale uses. Appropriate zoning districts include: TN-R, TN-C, L-O, C-N and R-15. In certain MU-N areas there is a Neighborhood Center (N.C.) overlay designation. In these areas the City seeks to create a centralized, pedestrian-oriented, identifiable and day-to-day, service-oriented focal point for neighborhood scale development. Like other designations, the N.C. areas shown on the Future Land Use Map are conceptual only and intended to identify a maximum walking distance from the core of the neighborhood center of 1/4 mile. Neighborhood Centers Figure 3-1. MiXeD uSe NeigHbOrHOOD CONCePT DiAgrAM Chapter 26 3 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan that straddle or are centered on one or more principal or minor arterials should adhere to a similar design and recognize access control measures as established by the Ada County Highway District and City Code. Neighborhood Centers should serve as public transit locations for future park-and-ride lots, bus stops, shuttle bus stops and/or other alternative modes of transportation. Neighborhood Center developments are encouraged to be designed according to the conceptual neighborhood center plan depicted in Figure 3-2. The grid street pattern within the neighborhood allows traffic to disperse, eases congestion, slows traffic, and is safer for residents. In addition to the items listed for the MU-N designation, the following items will be considered in all MU-N areas with an N.C. overlay: • Four specific design elements should be incorporated into a Neighborhood Center development: a) street connectivity, b) open space, c) pathways, and d) residential density that is eight dwelling units per acre or more. • Most blocks should be no more than 500’ to 600’, similar to Old Town or Heritage Commons; larger blocks are allowed along arterial streets. • Reduced travel lane widths are encouraged. • The design should provide an interconnected circulation pattern that is convenient for automobiles, pedestrians, and transit. • The centers should offer an internal circulation system that connects with adjacent neighborhoods and regional pathways, connecting to and integrated with the larger street and pathway system. • Developments should provide neighborhood accessible commercial services that do not force residents onto arterial streets. Figure 3-2. MiXeD uSe NeigHbOrHOOD CeNTer CONCePT DiAgrAM City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 3 27 Chapter • Developments should provide a variety of housing choices and types. • Housing within developments should be arranged in a radiating pattern of lessening densities from the core. • Alleys and roadways should be used to transition from dissimilar land uses, and between residential densities and housing types. Mixed Use Community (MU-C). The purpose of this designation is to allocate areas where community-serving uses and dwellings are seamlessly integrated into the urban fabric. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses, including residential, and to avoid mainly single-use and strip commercial type buildings. Non-residential buildings in these areas have a tendency to be larger than in Mixed Use— Neighborhood areas, but not as large as in Mixed Use – Regional areas. Goods and services in these areas tend to be of the variety that people will mainly travel by car to, but also walk or bike to (up to three or four miles). Employment opportunities for those living in and around the neighborhood are encouraged. Developments are encouraged to be designed according to the conceptual MU-C plan depicted in Figure 3-3. In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in MU-C areas: • Development should comply with the general guidelines for development in all Mixed Use areas. • All developments should have a mix of at least three land use types. Figure 3-3. MiXeD uSe COMMuNiTY CONCePT DiAgrAM Chapter 28 3 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan • Residential uses should comprise a minimum of 20% of the development area at densities ranging from 6 to 15 units/acre. • Non-residential buildings should be proportional to and blend in with adjacent residential buildings. • Vertically integrated structures are encouraged. • Unless a structure contains a mix of both residential and office, or residential and commercial land uses, maximum building size should be limited to a 30,000 square-foot building footprint. For community grocery stores, the maximum building size should be limited to a 60,000 square- foot building footprint. For the development of public school sites, the maximum building size does not apply. • Supportive and proportional public and/or quasi-public spaces and places including but not limited to parks, plazas, outdoor gathering areas, open space, libraries, and schools that comprise a minimum of 5% of the development area are required. Outdoor seating areas at restaurants do not count towards this requirement. • Where the development proposes public and quasi-public uses to support the development above the minimum 5%, the developer may be eligible for additional residential densities and/or an increase to the maximum building footprint. Sample uses appropriate in MU-C areas would include: All MU-N categories, community grocer, clothing stores, garden centers, hardware stores, restaurants, banks, drive-thru facilities, auto service station, and retail shops, and other appropriate community-serving uses. Appropriate zoning districts in the MU-C include: TN-R, TN-C, C-C, L-O, R-15 and R-40. In certain MU-C areas there is a Neighborhood Center (N.C.) overlay designated. In these areas the City seeks a centralized, pedestrian-oriented, identifiable and day-to-day, service-oriented focal point for neighborhood scale development. Like other designations, the N.C. areas shown on the Future Land Use Map are conceptual only and intended to identify a maximum walking distance from the core of the neighborhood center of 1/4 mile. Neighborhood Centers that straddle or are centered on one or more principal or minor arterials should adhere to a similar design and recognize access control measures as established by the Ada County Highway District and City Code. Neighborhood Centers should serve as public transit locations for future park-and-ride lots, bus stops, shuttle bus stops or other alternative modes of transportation. Neighborhood Center developments are encouraged to be designed according to the conceptual neighborhood center plan depicted in Figure 3-4. The grid street pattern within the neighborhood allows traffic to disperse, eases congestion, slows traffic, and is safer for residents. In addition to the items listed for the MU-C designation, the following items will be used in reviewing development applications in all MU-C areas with an N.C. overlay: “Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of pos- sibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.” - Gloria Steinem City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 3 29 Chapter • Four specific design elements should be incorporated into a Neighborhood Center development: a) street connectivity, b) open space, c) pathways, and d) residential density that is eight dwelling units per acre or more. • Most blocks should be no more than 500’ to 600’, similar to Old Town and Heritage Commons; larger blocks are allowed along arterial streets. • Reduced travel lane widths are encouraged. • The design should provide an interconnected circulation pattern that is convenient for automobiles, pedestrians, and transit. • The centers should offer an internal circulation system that connects with adjacent neighborhoods and regional pathways, connecting to and integrated with the larger street and pathway system. • Developments should provide neighborhood accessible commercial services that do not force residents onto arterial streets. • Developments should provide a variety of housing choices and types. • Housing within developments should be arranged in a radiating pattern of lessening densities from the core. • Alleys and roadways should be used to transition from dissimilar land uses, or residential densities. Figure 3-4. MiXeD uSe NeigHbOrHOOD CeNTer CONCePT DiAgrAM Chapter 30 3 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan Mixed Use Regional (MU-R). The purpose of this designation is to provide a mix of employment, retail, and residential dwellings and public uses near major arterial intersections. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses together, including residential, and to avoid predominantly single use developments such as a regional retail center with only restaurants and other commercial uses. Developments should be anchored by uses that have a regional draw with the appropriate supporting uses. For example, an employment center should have support retail uses; a retail center should have supporting residential uses as well as supportive neighborhood and community services. The standards for the MU-R designation provide an incentive for larger public and quasi-public uses where they provide a meaningful and appropriate mix to the development. The developments are encouraged to be designed according to the conceptual MU-R plan depicted in Figure 3-5. In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in MU-R areas: • Development should generally comply with the general guidelines for development in all Mixed Use areas. • Residential uses should comprise a minimum of 10% of the development area at densities ranging from six to 40 units/acre. • Retail commercial uses should comprise a maximum of 50% of the development area. • There is neither a minimum nor maximum imposed on non-retail commercial uses such as office, clean industry, or entertainment uses. Figure 3-5. MiXeD uSe regiONAl CONCePT DiAgrAM City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 3 31 Chapter Where the development proposes public and quasi-public uses to support the development, the developer may be eligible for additional area for retail development (beyond the allowed 50%), based on the ratios below: • For land that is designated for a public use, such as a library or school, the developer is eligible for a 2:1 bonus. That is to say, if there is a five- acre library site, the project would be eligible for ten additional acres of retail development. • For active open space or passive recreation areas, such as a park, tot-lot or playfield, the developer is eligible for a 2:1 bonus. That is to say, if the park is 10 acres in area, the site would be eligible for 20 additional acres of retail development. For plazas that are integrated into a retail project, the developer should be eligible for a 6:1 bonus. Such plazas should provide a focal point (such as a fountain, statue, and water feature), seating areas, and some weather protection. That would mean that by providing a half-acre plaza, the developer would be eligible for three additional acres of retail development. Sample uses, appropriate in MU-R areas would include: All MU-N and MU-C categories, entertainment uses, major employment centers, clean industry, and other appropriate regional-serving uses. Appropriate zoning districts include: TN-C, C-G, R-15 and R-40. Mixed Use Non-Residential (MU-NR). The purpose of this designation is to set- aside areas where new residential dwellings will not be permitted, as residential uses are not compatible with the planned and/or existing uses in these areas. For example, MU-NR areas are used near the City’s waste water treatment plant and where there are mining, heavy industrial or other hazardous operations. The City envisions a wide variety of non-residential land uses may occur in MU-NR areas. Employment opportunities, professional offices, warehousing, flex buildings, and storage uses as well as retail uses are envisioned. Developments are encouraged to be designed similar to the conceptual MU-NR plan depicted in Figure 3-6. In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in MU-NR areas: • No new residential uses will be permitted (existing residential will be allowed to remain and expand accessory structures). • Development is not required to comply with the items listed for development in all Mixed Use areas. • All developments should have a mix of at least two types of land uses. • Where mixed use developments are phased, a conceptual site plan for the entire mixed use area is encouraged. “All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today” - Indian Proverb Chapter 32 3 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan • In developments where multiple commercial and/or office buildings are proposed, the buildings should be arranged to create some form of common, usable area, such as a plaza or green space. • A transitional use is encouraged on the perimeter of the MU-NR areas between any existing or planned residential development. • Community facilities such as a hospital, school, park, daycare, civic building or public safety facilities are encouraged in larger developments. • All retail and service commercial components of projects should be directly accessible to neighborhoods within the section by both vehicles and pedestrians. • Street sections consistent with the Ada County Highway District Master Street Map are required within the Unified Development Code. • There is neither a minimum nor maximum imposed on non-retail commercial uses such as office, food service/restaurants, industry or warehouse uses. Sample uses, appropriate in MU-NR areas would include: employment centers, professional offices, flex buildings, warehousing, industry, storage facilities and retail, and other appropriate non-residential uses. Appropriate zoning districts include: C-G, C-C, L-O, I-L and I-H. Figure 3-6. MiXeD uSe NON-reSiDeNTiAl CONCePT DiAgrAM City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 3 33 Chapter Mixed Use Interchange (MU-I). The purpose of this designation is to call-out areas where construction of future SH-16 interchanges is likely to occur, and to acknowledge that this land will have a high degree of visibility. These areas will be served by highway interchange ramps and restricted local access. There are two interchange areas, one located at US 20-26 and one at Ustick Road, that differ from the other Mixed Use categories in that a much stronger emphasis will be placed upon gateway elements and traffic flow/trip generation factors when reviewing new land use applications. Uses in these areas will need to be compatible with the impacts of a freeway interchange. However, these areas are not intended for high volume retail or uses that are better suited in neighborhood centers or commercial areas. The intention is to protect the immediate vicinity of the interchange from traffic conflicts and shift the high traffic-generating uses away from the immediate vicinity of the interchange. In reviewing development applications, the following items will be considered in MU-I areas: • Land uses within the MU-I areas and adjacent to the SH-16 corridor should be carefully examined for their potential impacts on existing and designated neighborhood centers and commercial activity areas. • A traffic impact study may be required for larger developments in these areas. • Vehicular access points should be prohibited near interchange ramps. Future uses should be planned to integrate with a frontage/backage road type circulation system. • Any new development at or near MU-I areas should promote a nodal development pattern where buildings are clustered, off-street parking is screened in the rear of the parcel and, where practical, development is inter-connected with adjoining parcels. • The SH-16/US 20-26 interchange will be one of only two regional gateways to the City of Meridian for travelers coming from north of the Boise River (the other being Linder Road). As such, buildings, landscaping, and other design features at this interchange need to reflect Meridian’s heritage, quality, and character. • Design of the SH-16/US 20-26 interchange and the adjoining land uses must give special consideration to the more scenic and environmentally sensitive area on the north side of US 20-26. The more intensive land uses should be sited on the south side of US 20-26. • Regional ridesharing, park-and-ride and transit transfer facilities are strongly encouraged within the SH-16/US 20-26 MU-I area. • The MU-I area at Ustick Road, west of SH-16, should minimize retail and auto-oriented services and transition rapidly from the interchange to the more rural, low density character intended along the county line. “Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degener- ate into hard work.” - Peter F. Drucker Chapter 34 3 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan Examples of uses include middle or high schools, post office or library branches, office uses, row house/patio home developments, athletic clubs, etc. The following types of appropriate uses and themes are envisioned at the two interchange locations along SH-16: • US 20-26: Commuter Services, Technology/Research, Business Park • Ustick Road: Educational, Civic, Light Retail, Residential Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area The City developed a specific plan for approximately 2,800 acres bordered (roughly) by Linder Road to the east; McDermott Road to the west: the Union Pacific Railroad line to the north and ½ mile south of Overland Road on the south. The specific area plan is an addendum to this Comprehensive Plan and places an emphasis on a mix of uses, both residential and commercial; new employment areas; higher density residential; a planned collector road network and design guidelines. It is important to note that the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan uses different land use designations than the rest of the FLUM. While there is some similarities in land use designations, for example Low Density Residential, there are also new designations which do not exist outside of this Ten Mile area. The TMISAP was adopted as an addendum to the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan on June 19th, 2007 by Resolutions Numbers 07-563 (Map) and 07-564 (Text). Development in the Ten Mile Interchange area will be reviewed using the TMISAP. See the Economic Development chapter and the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan for more details of this area. Civic The purpose of this designation is to preserve and protect existing and planned municipal, state, and federal lands for area residents and visitors. This category includes public lands, law enforcement facilities, post offices, fire stations, cemeteries, public utility sites (excluding ACHD), public parks, public schools, and other government owned sites within the Area of City Impact. Parks The purpose of this designation is to preserve and protect existing municipal, county, state, and federal land for area residents and visitors and to designate future park locations. These areas include existing and future public neighborhood, community, and urban parks. The park locations designated on the Future Land Use Map are the most current and should be used for planning purposes. These areas are further described in the Services Chapter. “No matter how carefully you plan your goals, they will never be more than pipe dreams unless you pursue them with gusto.” - W. Clement Stone City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 3 35 Chapter Schools The purpose of this designation is to provide areas throughout the Area of City Impact which provide educational opportunities, community gathering places, and green space. These areas are further described in the Services Chapter. Fire Stations The purpose of this designation is to preserve and protect existing and planned fire station locations throughout the Area of City Impact which provide efficient emergency response. Entryway Corridors The City feels it is important to identify roadways that introduce and welcome both visitors and residents to the City of Meridian. These roadways are noted as entryway corridors on the FLUM and are subject to additional standards within the Unified Development Code. Future Planning and Referral Area This designation is used to preserve areas where additional study and planning needs to occur before future land uses are designated and City services provided. These areas are within Meridian’s Area of City Impact and are subject to the Area of City Impact Agreement with Ada County. Transit Stations and Transit Friendly Development The Transit Station designation is used for areas where transit supported uses are envisioned along the railroad corridor. The City seeks projects that incorporate features which enhance alternative transportation and are transit friendly in these and other locations in the City. Said developments are envisioned within designated neighborhood centers and/or within commercial activity centers and should incorporate the following development and design principles: • A mix of land uses • Building orientation that provides the maximum level of services to pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users • Alternative transit features such as a bus shelter (where approved by Valley Regional Transit), bicycle locker facilities, park and ride lots or similar facilities • Residential densities that are at least 8 dwelling units per acre and designed to comply with the Traditional Neighborhood design standards in the Unified Development Code “Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably will them- selves not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die.” - Daniel H. Burnham Chapter 36 3 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan • Park and ride lots and other transit-supportive facilities are encouraged at interchanges throughout the City. Valley Regional Transit and Ada County Highway District Commuteride should be partners in determining appropriate facilities at each interchange Symbols All “future” symbols shown on the Future Land Use Map, such as parks, schools, fire stations, transit stations, etc., represent generalized locations based on the best information the City has to date. All such symbols are to be considered conceptual and are allowed to “float” on the map. All “existing” symbols shown on the Future Land Use Map for parks, schools, fire stations, etc. represent precise locations based on the facilities in place at the time of printing. Housing “Opportunities for housing should be available for all income groups with a mix of housing including modular, ranchettes, townhouses, apartment housing, low- income housing, and mansions. A vibrant community needs a good cross-section of housing and therefore must guard against an abundance of subdivisions in like density and price range. High-density housing must be strategically located to public transportation, community services, and not negatively affect property values.” This statement was first penned by the Mayor’s Transition Team ad hoc committee on housing in 2002, but it philosophy still holds true. At just under three units per gross acre, Meridian’s population is distributed throughout the community primarily in suburban-style developments comprised of mostly single-family, detached housing units. Going forward, the City does not envision a drastic change in the housing stock. However, the City realizes that the baby boomer generation is aging and there is an increased demand in non single- family detached dwellings from the 55-plus age population group. This coupled with the fact that more young adults are not having children and do not want large homes on large lots, necessitates providing more diversity in housing choices. Transportation The condition of an area’s transportation system impacts that community’s way of life and economic vitality. Realizing this, the City works closely with the transportation and planning agencies in the region to ensure our transportation network is the best it can be. Because Meridian does not have roadway authority of its own, however, the City coordinates with other agencies during the planning and design phases to ensure that projects meet the needs of its citizens. Meridian’s major challenge is to work with the transportation agencies in the region to meet the existing needs for adequate transportation service, while planning for and accommodating future growth as efficiently as possible. With additional growth, lack of funding options, and poor planning may not only lead to worsening traffic problems, but may also have negative impacts on the health and well being of citizens. Increased traffic congestion may deter potential employers from “Good plans shape good decisions. That’s why good planning helps to make elusive dreams come true.” - Lester Robert Bittel City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 3 37 Chapter locating in Meridian. Therefore, the City works closely with ITD and the State’s Transportation Improvement Plan and COMPASS’ long-range transportation plan Communities in Motion, to make sure our resident’s transportation needs are being met. In addition to planning for future transportation needs, much of the roadway infrastructure already developed will require funding for maintenance, rehabilitation, and expansion. Beyond supporting traditional vehicle use, the City continues to maintain and promote alternative methods of transportation in Meridian as well. From pedestrian sidewalks and regional multi-modal pathways to public transportation efforts, the City recognizes that supporting diversity helps to not only promote a healthier, happier community, but reduces over-use of our roadways by single occupancy vehicles. Examples of public transportation, existing and future potential include; bus routes, paratransit, vanpool, and bus rapid transit systems, not just within Meridian, but the region as a whole. Through cooperation with regional partners, Meridian is planning for the future by supporting and promoting developments that provide transportation options for everyone. Transportation and Land Use Integration To better connect transportation planning and land use decisions, ACHD and the cities in Ada County have compiled the Transportation and Land Use Integration Plan3 (TLIP). This plan envisions livable streets for tomorrow and depicts how streets should look and function in the future. The goal is to create a roadway network that balances the needs of all roadway users-motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, transit and people with disabilities, with streets that complement the built environment. Because a one-size-fits-all program for roadway construction does not respond to either the land use or transportation needs of the community, the City and ACHD have agreed to work more closely together to join together the land use plans of the City with the transportation plans of the ACHD. There are four tools that ACHD and the City use to implement TLIP: the Complete Streets Policy, the Livable Streets Design Guide, a Cost Share Policy, and a Master Street Map. As part of the adoption of this plan, the City hereby incorporates ACHD’s Complete Streets Policy, the Livable Streets Design Guide and the Master Street Map. These documents will all be used by the City when reviewing development applications and plans for new roadway projects. Blueprint for Good Growth TLIP was an outgrowth of Blueprint for Good Growth (BGG), which is aimed at addressing the best methods to manage growth for a sustainable future in Ada County. Through the Blueprint for Good Growth and Communities in Motion (CIM) long-range planning efforts, the public has stated a desire for better design of roadways and increased coordination with adjacent land uses. People have expressed preferences for roads that fit well and complement the built environment. In 2005 the Meridian City Council adopted Resolution Number 05-473 which recognizes that it is critical for the agencies in Ada County to work 3 Go to http://achdidaho.org/deparments/PP/TLIP.aspx “The goal is to create a roadway network that balances the needs of all roadway users-motorists, pedes- trians, cyclists, transit and people with dis- abilities, with streets that complement the built environment” Chapter 38 3 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan together to develop and create a sensible land use and transportation plan for the area. Communities in Motion (CIM) Communities in Motion (CIM) is the region’s long-range transportation plan. But CIM is more than just a transportation plan. The intent of CIM is to integrate land use and transportation planning. As such, it is intended to provide for an effective multimodal outcome, with land use patterns that support and encourage transportation alternatives. The regional long-range transportation plan for Ada and Canyon Counties, Communities in Motion 2035, was adopted by the COMPASS Board in September 2010. As part of the adoption of this plan, the City hereby adopts the vision of Communities in Motion4. Alternative Transportation The City works with transportation providers in the area to improve access to employment opportunities, medical appointments, recreational activities, and education. But improving transportation is not all about drivers. Local partnerships provide opportunities to create connections for non-drivers like youth, the elderly, and the disabled. Valley Regional Transit (VRT) is the regional public transportation authority for Ada and Canyon counties. VRT is responsible for coordinating transit service and implementing a regional public transportation system. VRT operates the bus service in this area under the name ValleyRide. VRT works in close coordination with ITD, COMPASS and other regional partners to plan for preservation and enhancements to the public transportation system in the two-county area. Pathways that encourage use by bicyclists and pedestrians can decrease road congestion and add to the community’s quality of life. In 2007, Meridian City Council adopted the Meridian Pathways Master Plan. The plan proposes the development of a pathway network that identifies a core system of pathways based on the existing canal system within the City of Meridian. This core system of pathways is enhanced by the developer-implemented pathways that will provide connections to and through many residential areas while creating a larger Citywide loop. This system gives community members a wide variety of pathway options throughout the City and to other parts of the metropolitan region. The adopted network map is included as Figure 3-7. Please refer to the Meridian Pathways Master Plan5 for specific alignments, pathway types, design specifications, detailed network descriptions, etc. The ACHD has adopted a plan that seeks to create and connect bicycle lanes throughout Ada County. The over-arching goal of the Roadways to Bikeways Bicycle Master Plan is to create a bicycle network that provides a designated bicycle facility within a quarter-mile from 95 percent of the residents in the 4 Go to http://www.compassidaho.org/prodserv/cim2035.htm 5 Go to http://www.meridiancity.org/parks_rec.aspx?id=2667 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 3 39 Chapter County. The City, as part of development review and ACHD roadway projects, will look to expand bicycle opportunities throughout the City. COMPASS has developed a Mobility Management Guidebook6 that includes best practices for incorporating transit access and mobility enhancements into subdivision, site, and roadway design. The Guidebook may be useful in identifying strategies for reducing reliance on the automobile. On the statewide level, I-way is a service network that connects people in Idaho to a mix of transportation options. I-way provides people in Idaho the ability to choose from a variety of connected, convenient and cost-effective transportation options–including park and rides, car and van pools, bike and walking paths, shuttles, and improved public transportation options. I-way represents a shift in the design and management of mobility options in Idaho. To meet changing future needs, this new vision focuses on the needs of people, rather than transportation modes and reorganizes the way mobility strategies are developed. The City is an active participant in I-way7. Downtown Transportation Network The City envisions a multi-modal transportation network downtown. Through the use of roadways, pathways, sidewalks, bike lanes, busses and the rail corridor, the intent is to make it easier to get to and through downtown. There are several plans and studies that evaluate where and how various opportunities for access to downtown can, and should be provided. The Downtown Meridian Transportation Management Plan was developed by ACHD with insight provided by the City to propose solutions to circulation-related challenges in downtown Meridian. The result of the jointly-initiated planning process was the emergence of a “Split Corridor Design” to facilitate movement throughout downtown. The “Split Corridor Design” will create a one-way traffic system between the 1-84/Meridian Road interchange and (roughly) the railroad tracks. Main Street will allow northbound traffic only, and Meridian Road will allow southbound traffic only. North of the railroad the system will support two-way traffic movement. Phase I of the Split Corridor, from I-84 to Franklin Road, was completed in 2009. Phase II of the Split Corridor is currently planned for construction in 2013. To increase connectivity and facilitate additional north-south traffic movement downtown, the City will work through development and redevelopment to preserve right-of-way and construct East 3rd from Franklin Road to Fairview Avenue per the alignment identified in the East 3rd Street Extension Alignment Study Report, dated May 2009. The May 2009 report identifies the alignment of the future roadway and presents conceptual cross-sections for use in roadway design. Pine Avenue is currently the only east-west connection to downtown between Fairview Avenue and Franklin Road, west of Locust Grove. Additional east-west 6 Go to http://www.compassidaho.org/prodserv/mobility.htm 7 Go to I-way.org “Through the use of roadways, pathways, sidewalks, bike lanes, busses and the rail corridor, the intent is to make getting to and through down- town easier. ” Chapter 40 3 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan Figure 3-7. ADOPTeD PATHWAY NeTWOrK MAP Note: For current Pathway Network Map, please see the City of Meridian Parks and Recreation website: http://www.meridiancity.org/parks_rec.aspx?id=2667 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 3 41 Chapter traffic connections within downtown are needed. Extending Broadway Avenue and/or Idaho Avenue to connect with E Commercial Drive will make it easier to get to and through downtown. The City has also adopted the Downtown Meridian Street Cross-section Master Plan, which is intended to preserve for and work towards long-term connectivity and streetscape improvements. State Facilities The Idaho Transportation Department has very few planned highway expansion projects in the State. However, there is certainly a need to improve the State highway system. At the top of the City’s highway improvement priority list is a rebuilt Meridian Road Interchange. The interchange is not sufficient to safely handle today’s increased traffic and mobility demands. Reconstruction of the Meridian Road Interchange will improve mobility by providing pedestrian and bicycle facilities on the structure so that different modes of transportation can traverse across the Interstate. Reconstruction will also allow free movement of commerce through the Treasure Valley and provide the infrastructure which companies here and those looking to move here desire. Two other highway improvements high on the City’s priority list are U.S. 20/26 (Chinden Boulevard) and SH-55 (Eagle Road). The Eagle Road Arterial Road Study (ITD, 2006), and the U.S. 20/26 Corridor Preservation Study, (ITD and COMPASS, ongoing), identify preferred roadway configurations and recommend safety improvements to these high-volume and high-speed facilities. The City supports access management, congestion mitigation improvements and the beautification of these corridors called for in the studies. The City of Meridian supports the construction of an overpass at the intersection of Linder Road and Interstate 84. This overpass will create a continuous, 34-mile arterial that will connect the Birds of Prey with the foothills and be one of the only roadways in the county to cross both the interstate and the Boise River. When constructed, this overpass should include an on-street pathway route along the west side of the roadway as it allows for continuation of the on-street pathway north and south of the interstate, consistent with the City’s Master Pathway Plan. Land within the future SH-16 corridor will be protected from strip commercial zoning and development. The City does not intent to strip zone land adjacent to the future highway for non-residential uses. Such uses will be targeted to key intersections and where vacant or surplus commercial space is already available and zoned. Supplemental Network Improvements To establish a more direct route, and increase connectivity between the Nampa Airport/Garrity Boulevard and the Overland Road/Ten Mile Road intersection, the Airport - Overland Corridor Study was completed in 2011. This study was conducted in partnership with the City of Nampa, ACHD, Nampa Highway District #1, Ada County, and the City. The Study evaluated feasible alignment “A day spent without the sight or sound of beauty, the contem- plation of mystery, or the search of truth or perfection is a pover- ty-stricken day; and a succession of such days is fatal to human life.” -Lewis Mumford Chapter 42 3 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan alternatives and associated environmental, transportation, land use and land owner issues of an extension. Ultimately, Alternative 2B was selected as the preferred alignment. As no funding is currently available, this future roadway will be constructed as adjoining properties develop, and funding partners become available. Although the centerline location identified in the Study is the preferred location, the exact location of the roadway may adjust slightly dependent upon the nature and timing of development; the Study allows for flexibility on the specific route, as long as the primary objectives of the study are achieved. The City will work with property owners, developers and ACHD to ensure Overland Road is extended west of Ten Mile Road into Canyon County as an arterial. Utilities and Infrastructure The provision, location and efficiency of public facilities contribute to quality of life and to the ability to develop in the City. While the City owns and operates its own domestic water and sewer services, it relies on other entities for some of the other essential services. Therefore, coordination between the City and each service provider is vital in planning and prioritizing of expansion areas, and continued service to existing locations. Public facilities discussed in this section include domestic water service, sewer collection, sewage treatment, and other independently operated utilities (such as power, natural gas, and communications). Water Service The City owned and operated domestic water system is currently supported by a series of deep wells, booster pump stations, multiple reservoirs, and over 400 miles of pipe line. In order to keep up with water demand, the City has constructed, on average, one new well per year, each funded by connection fees and charged to new development. Water line extensions to new developments are generally paid for and constructed by developers. Although the City plans new wells and reservoirs, the specific locations to those facilities are largely dictated by growth patterns, and will continue to be funded by new development. There is a portion of north Meridian where United Water, not the City, provides service. The rest of the City receives water from the City, via the Public Works Department. Sewer Collection The sewer (also known as wastewater) collection system in the City consists of over 500 miles of pipe and twelve lift (pump) stations. Sewage flows by gravity to the wastewater treatment plant located northwest of the Ten Mile/Ustick intersection. Generating a new Sewer Master Plan is in process. The Sewer Master Plan includes development of a computer model. The model helps Public Works staff identify priority areas for development in the City as well as segments of the existing sewage collection system that are approaching capacity. Future capital improvements will then be prioritized to upgrade the lines that are approaching capacity. No new City-funded sewer trunks or expansions are planned at this “...the City has con- structed, on average, one new well per year, each funded by connection fees and charged to new devel- opment.” City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 3 43 Chapter time. After the new Sewer Master Plan and model is up and running, the City will evaluate the need for additional expansion projects. Sewage Treatment With a rated capacity of 10.2 million gallons per day (mgd), the Meridian Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) services the entire City to primary, secondary, and tertiary standards, followed by disinfection. Treated effluent is discharged into Five Mile Creek. The City of Meridian received a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge permit from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in September of 1999, which expired in 2004. The discharge permit placed limits on flow, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, pH, toxicity, and bacteria. The permit also mandated numerous sampling and monitoring requirements for the effluent, Five Mile Creek, and the Boise River are also mandated. The Public Works Department expects to receive a new NPDES discharge permit in the next year which will include nutrient limits on phosphorus as low as 0.07 mg/L. The EPA has proposed up to a 98% reduction in the amount of total phosphorus discharged to the Lower Boise River by all point sources. In order to comply with requirements, Meridian may have to construct expensive phosphorus removal facilities at the WWTP. The additional associated costs will be apportioned to all ratepayers, although the actual construction of these additional improvements will depend on City growth rates. Currently, NPDES permits are not required for stormwater within the City. However, with increasing population growth, the City will be responsible for compliance with the Phase 2 stormwater program, thus requiring staff and funding. To keep costs down and treatment of wastewater efficient, the City is embarking on a reclaimed water project. Meridian has a Class A Reclaimed Water Permit which allows the City treat and reuse wastewater, instead of irrigation water or potable water, on City parks and open spaces near Ten Mile Road. The City would like to expand this service and it is anticipated that this highly treated water will also be made available to private property owners in other parts of the City in the near future. Garbage and Recycling Republic Services (Republic) is the solid waste and recycling collection contractor for the City of Meridian. Republic is dedicated to providing reliable and innovative recycling and waste reduction programs to the City. Every residential customer in Meridian has access to curbside recycling services as part of their basic collection services. In addition to refuse collection, recycling, and hazardous material disposal, Republic also provides fall leaf collection, spring clean-up collection, used oil collection and Christmas tree pick-up. These programs are intended to reduce the amount of organic material that would otherwise make its way to the landfill. Republic and the City are looking for additional ways to divert the amount of waste that goes to landfill. “Republic and the City are looking for additional ways to divert the amount of waste that goes to landfill.” Chapter 44 3 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan In 2000, the City established a Solid Waste Advisory Committee (SWAC) to help set steer a curbside recycling program and to advise the City Council on other solid waste issues. The SWAC works in conjunction with Republic staff. The SWAC focuses its attention on growing the solid waste and recycling programs and making them as user friendly as possible. Irrigation Meridian irrigation water is supplied by a series of canals and laterals diverted from the Boise River. The New York canal is operated and serviced by the Boise Project Control Board, under the Bureau of Reclamation. The Ridenbaugh and Settler’s Canal are both operated and maintained by the Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District (NMID). The NMID administers water rights for all three canals. Power Idaho Power Company provides electrical services throughout the City of Meridian and its Area of City Impact. Idaho Power is a public service company regulated by the Idaho Public Utility Commission (IPUC), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and the state regulatory commissions of Idaho and Oregon. Natural Gas Intermountain Gas Company is the sole provider of natural gas in southern Idaho, including Meridian. Meridian is serviced by dual, high pressure natural gas pipelines that bisect the southwest part of the City’s Area of City Impact. Communications CenturyLink, Inc. provides basic telephone service in the area and CableOne provides traditional T.V. and internet services. There are also a number of other wireless providers which also offer phone, television, and internet services. Future Acquisitions Map Idaho Code §67-6517 allows the City to designate lands on a Future Acquisitions Map (FAM) that are proposed for public acquisition and/or facilities over the next 20 years. Facilities and utilities that could be designated on this map include, but are not limited to: fire stations, parks, open space, and recreation areas, pathways, well sites, Waste Water Treatment Plant expansion lands, utility facility corridors, streets, overpasses and highways, and some properties downtown where infrastructure is planned. The City does not have or use a FAM. Instead, a future facilities map that consolidates all City expansion and construction plans is being composed. This map, once composed, will be used for general coordination and communication, and will not be included in this Plan. However, it is envisioned that the future facilities map and the policies in this Plan be consistent and work together to guide efficient infrastructure improvements. “Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.” - Peter F.

Policy decisions reflect Meridian’s goal of improving and diversifying the local economy to ensure a sustainable economic tax base. Economic Development Meridian is actively supporting existing and new businesses in order to retain and create new jobs, develop regional talent, foster innovation and increase tax base to promote a community that is proactive, responsive and sustainable. Some of the new businesses that the City is working to develop are: • Health Science (Medical Device Manufacturing) • Health Care Services • Info-technology • Corporate & Professional Services • Entrepreneurial Innovation • Food Processors • Light Manufacturing • Outdoor Sports Manufacturing • Alternative Energy Meridian’s location, in the center of the Pacific Northwest, gives the City an advantage in regional recognition. Meridian offers companies direct access to 66 million consumers within a 750-mile radius. In addition, Meridian provides companies with a diverse pool of motivated and dedicated workers. The City of Meridian is committed to economic excellence, and is committed to supporting and growing new and existing businesses. The City seeks to create a strong and diverse business community that is “Built for Business and Designed for Living.” As part of its commitment to economic excellence, the City has developed Business Enterprise Areas and Specific Area Plans to encourage and promote a robust and sustainable economy. Chapter 58 4 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan Business Enterprise Areas / Specific Area Plans Meridian is effectively positioned to support existing, emerging, and new businesses by creating planned and integrated Business Enterprise Areas. These areas are designed to attract and foster related or complimentary business interests. This provides an environment where business can thrive in an atmosphere conducive to attracting and retaining a highly qualified workforce. These Business Enterprise Areas, located throughout the City, are diverse in approach and geared towards accommodating the needs of business and employees alike. The Core. The Core, located on the eastern edge of Meridian along I-84, is focused on fostering an environment for health sciences, technology and business centers. The Core is a community of partners and programs, like those between the City of Meridian and Idaho State University, creating sustainable jobs, developing products, training, and research to better the lives of those in Meridian, the Valley, and abroad. With over 43 active enterprises, The Core is business diversity of the future; jobs in research, development, and manufacturing that cannot be outsourced. This corridor of complementary businesses and services provides a one-stop destination for visitors and workforce with all necessary amenities. In the fall of 2009, Idaho State University opened the doors to ISU-Meridian, the Treasure Valley campus, within The Core. Students at ISU specialize in Law and Leadership, Research and Medical Arts, and International Studies. The City has been working with ISU to not only strengthen educational programs but to create partnerships with the private sector. The ISU President’s Southwestern Idaho Advisory Council on Health Science Education and Economic Excellence focuses on specific business and research opportunities. This Council of business and educational leaders helps prepare ISU to expand health science education opportunities and support the efforts of The Core. Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan. The Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan (TMISAP), centered along Ten Mile Road and I-84, is a highly visible, easily accessible part of the City that will offer significant employment, enhance housing diversity, and support a strong economy. The TMISAP, while sharing the same heart for economic development as the other business enterprise areas, is built for living; creating an environment for people to work, live, and play. Unlike other commercial employment districts, with diversity of mixed, adjacent, and nearby housing in a broad spectrum of sizes and costs, the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan8 seeks to create a highly accessible community that removes the need to commute to work. Urban Renewal Area (Downtown) - The Meridian Development Corporation (MDC) and the City are committed to the economic stimulation and expansion of downtown Meridian. Focus areas for creating a thriving Downtown Meridian include: pedestrian friendly, transit support, sustainable job creation, public art and beautification, affordable workforce housing, public parking, and a balanced retail environment. As part of its long-term goals, MDC is committed to supporting Destination Downtown, a Vision Plan for downtown Meridian. Destination 8 Go to http://www.meridiancity.org/planning.aspx?id=242 “This corridor of complementary busi- nesses and services provides a one-stop destination for visitors and workforce with all necessary ameni- ties.” City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 4 59 Chapter Downtown9 is a community-driven initiative, spearheaded by the MDC, to stimulate, vitalize, and establish downtown Meridian as a hub of Treasure Valley enterprise, culture, and social activities. Destination Downtown has four focus areas: Livability, Mobility, Prosperity, and Sustainability. Each of these focus areas represents a vital cornerstone in support of the long-term health and vitality of downtown Meridian and the City as a whole. The City intends to build on the Destination Downtown plan by partnering with the MDC to do specific catalyst projects, consistent with each of the four focus areas identified in the Plan. With the construction of the City Hall building in 2008, and the COMPASS/VRT building in 2011, the City and the MDC have made commitments to downtown that will serve as catalysts for additional revitalization efforts and set the standard for future development in Meridian’s downtown. Fields Area. Located in northwest Meridian, the Fields is a six-square mile area bound by the Ada-Canyon county line, Chinden Boulevard, Ustick Road and Black Cat Road. This area has been identified by the City for a future specific area plan. Like the other Business Enterprise Areas, the Fields Area will be conceived principally to grow business and develop increased economic vitality.

Chamber of Commerce The Meridian Chamber of Commerce principle goal is of supporting and developing business. The Chamber is a membership organization which provides leadership opportunities, advocacy, networking, and business promotion, to encourage, foster, and promote existing and new business opportunities in the City. The Meridian Chamber of Commerce provides many services to the community, including: business referrals, City information, community maps, relocation packets, tourist information, consulting, and more. 61City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 4Chapter I.D.GOALS / OBJECTIVES / ACTION ITEMS ELEMENT PRIORITY RESPONSIBLE LEAD 4.01.00 Make Meridian the premier place to live, work and raise a family. 4.01.01 Diversify economic base of City - make Meridian a self-sustaining community. 4.01.01A Build upon/take advantage of the City’s location between Nampa and Boise and promote the regional concept.High Economic Development 4.01.01B Provide unique destination-type activities and centers.High Economic Development 4.01.01C Provide incentives and standards to attract high-quality businesses.High Economic Development 4.01.01D Develop and maintain methods to promote the business community (e.g., web site development, brochures, advertising).Highest Economic Development 4.01.01E Develop a selection criteria list for business types, and incorporate it into the development review process.Medium Community Development 4.01.01F Encourage high-tech, research, pharmaceutical firms, and high-quality retail facilities.On-going Economic Development 4.01.02 Create a balanced cross section of incomes. 4.01.02A Annually monitor changes in income levels.On-going Economic Development 4.01.02B Monitor supply of housing stock by tenure and income.On-going Community Development 4.01.02C Pursue grants for economic development and public-private partnerships.On-going Economic Development 4.01.02D Raise awareness through educational outreach activities to major employers and policy makers about the benefit of workforce housing and explore possibilities for creating / sustaining workforce housing.On-going Community Development 4.02.00 Support existing businesses by creating new opportunities;

As part of this chapter, we discuss the natural and built environment, sustainability, hazardous areas, and historic resources. Natural Resources Productive agricultural soils, open space, vegetation, air, water, and energy are all valuable resources that the residents of Meridian enjoy and want to preserve. Beyond the environmental and health benefits realized from preserving our natural resources, they can offer exciting recreational opportunities, provide for pedestrian travel ways, and offer a simple break from the standard suburban affair. As growth continues however, increased pressures are placed on natural resources. Finding a balance that protects and preserves Meridian’s natural resources, while supporting the need for new development and growth is essential. Water One of our most valuable resources is water. Therefore, protecting our aquifers, drainage basins, creeks, canals, lakes (man made or otherwise) and the Boise River from dangerous polluted runoffs is of great importance for preserving a quality water supply. With a vision for sustainability, Meridian became the first city in Idaho to be issued a Class A Reclaimed Water Permit. The City is now using highly treated, or reclaimed water, instead of irrigation water or potable water on City parks and open spaces. This conserves a significant amount of ground water and reduces our discharge flows into the Boise River. With successful pilot projects completed, plans are in place to increase programs that look towards water conservation, protection of surface waters and improved of water quality. Soil and Vegetation Not only is preserving the water supply important for humans, but also for the plants and wildlife. The natural tree and shrub corridors along the creeks and drains throughout Meridian are critical to wildlife and also present aesthetic values. In addition, the natural vegetation provides shade and habitat for wildlife and reduces soil erosion. Chapter 66 5 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan Air Quality The City is trying to do its part to help the Treasure Valley’s overall air quality so that the region does not fall below federally mandated standards (non-attainment). The City of Meridian continues to be proactive in its efforts to improve air quality in the Treasure Valley. The City has held town hall meetings on business emissions, established City Hall as a Clean Air Zone, encouraged alternative transportation and carpooling for employees, and installed conditioning equipment at the Waste Water Treatment Plant that scrubs, cleans, and then reuses the methane gas by-product. By working with the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), supporting other local and regional initiatives, implementing City policies, evaluating land use and transportation relationships, and by City departments and contracted entities using best management practices, the City intends to raise the bar even higher for improving air quality. Energy In an effort to improve the energy efficiency, transparency, accountability, and innovation of local government, the City of Meridian decided to prepare an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (EECS). The EECS outlines the City of Meridian‘s long-range plans to integrate energy efficiency and energy independence, sustainability, resource conservation, environmental stewardship, improvements in air quality, and reductions in greenhouse gasses into the everyday operations of City government. As part of the energy strategy, the City’s mission, vision, and ongoing initiatives were incorporated into the energy planning process. These factors will be integral in directing policy options and for implementing the City’s current and future energy projects. Moreover, they will help to guide and centralize the energy planning process. The City of Meridian developed the Citywide energy strategy as a guide for achieving both short-range and long-range objectives for energy efficiency, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and the creation of sustainable jobs. The City will achieve short-range energy goals by allocating funding towards projects that accomplish these goals. A comprehensive list of future energy projects is included in the EECS that demonstrates the City’s long-range commitment to energy efficiency. The energy-related projects, programs, policies, and implementation measures identified in the planning process of the energy strategy facilitate the City’s long-range energy success. Sustainability The City of Meridian has assertively stepped-up to the challenges and dynamics of incorporating sustainability concepts into a variety of projects. From tackling energy conservation issues; establishing a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment and reclamation facility; to establishing and staffing an Environmental Division within the Public Works Department. “Sustainability and Environmental Awareness” is a stated priority issue of City leadership and will be a dynamic aspect of how “The City of Meridian has assertively stepped- up to the challenges and dynamics of incor- porating sustainability concepts into a variety of projects.” City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 5 67 Chapter future service, programs and projects are understood, created and implemented. Future success bodes well, due to the accomplishments gained in our recent past; sustainable practices today are applied in Meridian in a wide variety of ways, and will continue to grow. Green Building Where buildings are constructed and how they are designed, built and operated greatly impacts the environment. In 1998 the U.S. Green Building Council developed a set of standards for environmentally sustainable design, construction and operation of buildings. These standards are formalized in certifying a building as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts. LEED is a voluntary certification program that can be applied to any building type and any building lifecycle phase. Guidelines encouraging buildings to be sited and designed consistent with LEED concepts are included in the City’s Architectural Standards Manual. As a prime example of the City’s ongoing efforts to be good stewards of the environment and to set a positive example for others who build in Meridian, City Hall was constructed with LEED certification in mind. In 2009, Meridian City Hall achieved the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED), Silver Certification. Among other benefits, Idaho Power Company has calculated City Hall’s annual energy savings to be the equivalent of providing power to 56 homes for an entire year. The City would like to pursue other energy efficient projects, and promote others to also consider environmental impacts when siting and constructing projects. Recycling and Hazardous Waste The curbside recycling program within the City (operated by Sanitary Services Company) currently allows for the following items: mixed waste paper (including telephone books), corrugated cardboard, magazines and catalogs, aluminum and tin cans, newspaper, and all numbers of plastic bottles, tubs, jugs (including lids) and clamshells. Increased recycling for paper/wood products, plastics, and organic material and diversion of hazardous waste from the landfill continue to be programs that Sanitary Services Company and the City work on expanding. Hazardous Areas Fortunately, very few natural or man-made hazards exist within the City of Meridian and its Area of City Impact. Without large industrial complexes, airports, petroleum tank farms and other uses which generate safety and pollution concerns, the City is relatively free of hazardous areas. As more development occurs however, safety concerns and hazardous areas will likely increase from more service stations, increased traffic, and storage of hazardous chemicals associated “Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning.” - Thomas Alva Edison Chapter 68 5 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan with certain businesses. While federal regulations provide protection to a degree, as development increases, so will the potential for spills, accidents, and fires. The City coordinates with Ada County Emergency Management on natural hazard disaster preparedness, response, and mitigation and is a plan participant in the Ada County Hazard Mitigation Plan. There are a few notable hazards which do exist within the City of Meridian’s AOCI; a natural gas pipeline, an existing liquefied natural gas plant, state highways, and areas of the City which fall into the 100 year floodplain. The natural gas line, or Williams Pipeline, runs from the northwest edge of the City to the southeastern edge of the City. Along this pipeline is a natural gas plant, located off of N. Can-Ada Road, which temporarily liquefies natural gas for storage. The City has worked with emergency responders and the pipeline company to ensure development near these facilities is done safely. There are four State (ITD) highways that go through Meridian: Interstate-84, State Highway 55 (Eagle Road), State Highway 69 (Meridian Road) and US 20/26 (Chinden Boulevard). These facilities are high-speed roadways which have led to many accidents. In City Code, there are specific development standards for properties along State highways. These standards are in place to mitigate the potential hazards from living next to and driving on the State highway system. Portions of Meridian fall within the 100-year floodplain, generally along the Boise River and some creeks, the City has developed a floodplain overlay district which helps to guide development. Uses permitted in this district are generally associated with open space, recreational, and agricultural land uses and do not hinder the movement of the floodwaters. For additional, information including floodway maps, see the Existing Conditions Report2. Special Areas and Historic Resources Currently there are eight properties within Meridian listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to these eight properties, there are many historical architectural resources within the City limits and even more within the Area of City Impact. Some of the many historic buildings within the Area of City Impact include: grain elevators, a feed mill, assorted shops, a public library, and Meridian Rural Public High School. Other historic properties and resources include: historic farmsteads, irrigation facilities, the Ridenbaugh Canal, associated check dams, and more. These recorded locations likely represent only a sample of the actual number of historic buildings within the City of Meridian’s Area of City Impact. These special sites and historic resources are important to preserving Meridian’s heritage and in remembering the previous generations that laid the foundation for Meridian today. 2 Go to www.meridiancity/compplan “These special sites and historic resources are important to pre- serving Meridian’s heritage and in remem- bering the previous generations that laid the foundation for Meridian today.” 69City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 5Chapter I.D.GOALS / OBJECTIVES / ACTION ITEMS ELEMENT PRIORITY RESPONSIBLE LEAD 5.01.00 Preserve, protect, enhance, and wisely use our natural resources within the Area of City Impact.  5.01.01 Protect and conserve existing waterways, groundwater, wetlands, wildlife habitat, air, soils, and other natural resources. 5.01.01A Identify waterways, wetlands, and other natural resources for preservation.Medium Public Works 5.01.01B Identify wildlife habitat areas for conservation. Medium Public Works 5.01.01C Develop and implement programs to encourage and promote tree health and preservation throughout the City, including along waterways and within proposed development.On-going Parks 5.01.01D Limit canal tiling and piping of ditches, creeks, and drains where public safety issues are not of concern.On-going Public Works 5.01.01E Improve and protect creeks (Five Mile, Eight Mile, Nine Mile, Ten Mile, South Slough, and Jackson and Evans drainages) throughout commercial, industrial and residential areas.On-going Community Development 5.01.01F Identify underdeveloped areas for potential development.High Community Development 5.01.01G Coordinate open space conservation with land trust.Low Parks 5.01.01H Preserve, protect and provide open space for recreation, conservation, aesthetics, etc. On-going Parks 5.01.01I Support a long-term transportation system that conforms to the public health standard for carbon monoxide attainment. On-going Community Development 5.01.02 Preserve and protect viable farm ground and agricultural resources. 5.01.02A Encourage efficient use of farm ground and open space at Area of City Impact boundaries to effectively transition from rural uses to urban uses.On-going Community Development 5.01.02B Encourage infill development in vacant/underdeveloped areas within the City over fringe area development to halt the outward progression of urban development.On-going Community Development 5.02.00 Enhance Meridian's historical, cultural and agricultural heritage. 5.02.01 Support restoration of Old Town to enhance its historical quality. 5.02.01A Develop incentives for the preservation and restoration of historic and architecturally significant buildings.Medium Community Development 5.02.01B Implement design/building standards for historically significant buildings and resources in Old Town.Medium Community Development Chapter 5 – Goals, Objectives, & Action Items 70City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 5Chapter I.D.GOALS / OBJECTIVES / ACTION ITEMS ELEMENT PRIORITY RESPONSIBLE LEAD 5.02.01C Actively support owners of historic buildings in their efforts to restore and/or preserve their properties.

Public Services Community, Social and Government Services This chapter discusses community, social and government services provided in Meridian. As part of this chapter, schools, parks and recreation, emergency services, libraries, arts and entertainment, as well as general government and private property rights are described. Some other services, like sewer, water, and transportation, are addressed in other parts of this Plan and are not duplicated here. Education For Meridian to encourage and attract new business, to foster an environment which generates new ideas, and to mold a diverse and sustainable economy, we must continue to encourage and support educational opportunities which create an employment base attractive to employers. It is important for Meridian residents to have accessible educational opportunities, K-12 and beyond, which prepare them for rewarding local career opportunities. Public Schools Public school facilities in the City of Meridian are part of the West Ada School District, which serves an area larger than the City of Meridian and its Area of City Impact. The District covers 384 square miles and serves the cities of Meridian, Star, Eagle, western and south-western portions of Boise, part of Garden City, and the unincorporated areas of Ada County that lie between these municipalities. In total, there are 31 elementary schools, 9 middle schools, 5 comprehensive high schools, 2 alternative high schools, 1 charter high school, and 1 magnet high school throughout the West Ada School District. Enrollment growth has placed tremendous demands on schools in recent past. Since 2000, the District has opened eight elementary schools, three middle schools, one alternative middle school, two high schools, and one alternative high school. In the past ten years, West Ada School District has opened schools at a faster pace than any district in the history of the state of Idaho. With an additional 1,000 students per year projected to move into the District, this rate of new school construction is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. Land acquisition for future school sites within West Ada School District are based upon the following acreage standards: • Elementary Schools 10 to 12 acres • Middle Schools 40 acres • High Schools 55 acres Chapter 78 6 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan Based on past trends, West Ada School District estimates that approximately 1,000 acres of land will be needed within the City of Meridian’s Area of City Impact to meet the needs of all existing and projected K-12 students. As shown on the Future Land Use Map, about one elementary school is projected within each square mile of the City. Depending upon the residential density of an area and other build-out factors, the District estimates that it will need at least one middle school for every two to two and a half square miles and one high school for every three square miles of fully developed land. To assist the District, the City of Meridian seeks to continue its support through joint long range and site planning, continued exploration into multi-use and shared facilities, and providing increased safety through efficient use of multi-modal transportation corridors servicing schools. The City will continue to support school sites within every square mile, encourage communication between essential service providers to plan for and accommodate growth associated with schools, and further explore opportunities to cut operating costs through joint land use agreements. Thoughtful communication and coordination will help to ensure residents in the City of Meridian have close, safe, and applicable educational opportunities. Continuing Education In addition to Idaho State University–Meridian, other colleges and universities in the Meridian area include (main campus location in parenthesis): University of Phoenix (Meridian), George Fox University (Meridian), Guardian College (Meridian), Broadview University (Meridian), Boise State University (Boise), College of Western Idaho (Nampa), College of Idaho (Caldwell), Northwest Nazarene University (Nampa), University of Idaho Extension (Boise), Stevens- Henager College (Boise), Carrington College (Boise), Brown Mackie College (Boise), and Treasure Valley Community College (Ontario, OR). Emergency Services Police Despite the tremendous growth Meridian has experienced over the last decade, the City has not been subject an increased crime rate. In fact, the rate of criminal offenses in Meridian has remained lower than the national and state averages for several years. Review of officer to population ratio and response times suggests that with the more recent addition of officers, detectives, school resource officers, neighborhood contact officers, support staff and the advancements of the administration, the Meridian Police Departments is maintaining a respectable crime rate as well as an impressive clearance rate at approximately 45.5% in 2009. Going forward, continued coordination with the Police Department is vital to ensure adequate services are available for proposed annexation and development requests. Making best use of the Police Departments obvious expertise in matters of safety is also important in the planning and design of new facilities, services, and contingency/hazard response plans. “Thoughtful commu- nication and coordina- tion will help to ensure residents in the City of Meridian have close, safe, and applicable educational opportuni- ties.” City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 6 79 Chapter The Police Department also houses the City’s code enforcement team. These individuals are primarily responsible for ensuring that City Code violations in the City are identified and quickly corrected. Lastly, continued participation by the Police Department in local events and special programs, such as the Police Athletic league (PAL) will remain a key element of their success by promoting a safe community, serving as proactive crime deterrents through good example, and fostering the respect of the community. Fire and Ambulance The Meridian Fire Department has quickly transformed from a primarily all- volunteer department into a combination department with 57 full-time firefighters and 20 part-time, on-call personnel. Currently, the Meridian Fire Department consists of five Fire Stations strategically located throughout the Meridian area, with plans for a total of 11 at full build out of the Meridian Area of City Impact. Services provided by the department include: fire, rescue, hazardous materials, fire prevention education, plans review, inspections and advanced life-support emergency medical service. The Meridian Fire Department will continue to be an important asset in development and land use decisions, as they ensure that there is adequate fire flow, access and compliance with the Fire Code. Parks and Recreation The City of Meridian Parks and Recreation Department is the primary recreation service provider for Meridian. Quality parks, recreation facilities, activities and programs are considered by most Meridian residents to be vital in promoting overall quality of life. The Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for maintaining public open spaces and providing a quality system of parks and recreation facilities and positive leisure opportunities available to all persons in the community. The Department is also responsible for the development and maintenance of the pathways system and urban forest. Parks and Recreation also offers a variety of recreational programs, adult sports leagues, special events, and handles shelter/field reservations and temporary use permits. Meridian parks and recreation facilities and recreational programs provide residents with safe outlets for entertainment, exercise, social activities, and learning opportunities. Continued provision of high quality, year-round park and recreation facilities and activities requires the acquisition and development of land, funding for maintenance and renovations, and programming of elements and use activities. Developing new parks and expanding the existing park system with cutting-edge features like multi sensory games, ice skating rinks, dog parks, and year-round programs is vital to keep up with demand from growth. The City also seeks to continue expanding its pathway system by coordinating new projects with regional partners, and providing safe, tightly integrated pathways linking popular destinations such as schools and parks to neighborhood centers. Therefore, the City’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan and Pathways Master Plan should be used when evaluating proposed development for consistency with the City’s plans. “Further, parks and open space help to regulate air quality and climate, counter the warming effects of paved surfaces, recharge groundwater and protect lakes and streams from polluted runoff.” Chapter 80 6 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan Arts and Entertainment Meridian envisions a vibrant arts and entertainment scene that integrates the arts experience into everyday life and enhances the spirit of the City. As part of its commitment to raising awareness of existing opportunities and providing new offerings to experience art, the City created the Meridian Arts Commission (MAC) in 2006. MAC wants to ensure continued access to a variety of offerings for all residents, regardless of age, race, or ability. In addition to supporting the arts, the City seeks to continue its encouragement of Community Events. Programs such as the Dairy Days Festival, Chili Cook-Off, Firefighter’s Salmon BBQ, Free Family Fishing Day, the Meridian Symphony Orchestra, and others are vital to community well being. The continued availability of a variety of social opportunities is essential in promoting community for all residents. Other opportunities to support new facilities for community enrichment, education, and outreach should be explored. Libraries The Meridian Library District operates two locations, one on Cherry Lane and the other in the Silverstone Business Campus, is free to all residents and provides a variety of services in support of the community. The mission of the Meridian Library District is to provide a safe and inviting place where residents can interact with each other; find information about their community and its offerings; investigate a wide range of topics pertaining to their work, school and personal lives; and develop a love of reading and learning that will continue throughout their lives. Even with the increasing demand and popularity of digitally based media, libraries continue to provide a service to the traditional book readers, the young, those needing a little extra help, and others, as a safe place to socialize, share and learn. Organizational Excellence City Hall Meridian City Hall, located in downtown, serves as the hub of Meridian’s municipal government. City Hall currently houses ten City departments, serving as a convenient “one-stop-shop” for citizens seeking services, including: Clerk’s Office, Parks and Recreation, Fire Department Administration, Building Services, Planning, Finance/Billing, Purchasing, Human Resources, City Attorney’s Office, Information Technology, and the Mayor’s Office. City Hall is a community-centric building that also features an art gallery, the Meridian Historical Society, and community meeting spaces. Meridian uses the Mayor-Council form of local government. The job of the City Council, which includes the Mayor, is to adopt codes that govern the City in addition to applicable state and federal laws, create an annual budget, and oversee all of the City’s fiscal matters. The City of Meridian promotes citizen involvement in government by inviting residents to serve on a variety of boards, commissions, and committees designed to assist City leaders in information gathering and “Life is the only art that we are required to practice without preparation, and with- out being allowed the preliminary trials, the failures and botches, that are essential for training.” -Lewis Mumford City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 6 81 Chapter deliberative processes. Some of the volunteer boards and commission in Meridian are: Parks & Recreation Commission, Planning & Zoning Commission, Meridian Arts Commission, Historical Preservation Commission, Transportation Commission, Impact Fee Advisory Committee, Solid Waste Advisory Commission and the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council. City staff is committed to providing the best customer service to the community we serve, and responds to customers in a genuine, positive, and timely manner. Interactions are solution-oriented, where staff meets and exceeds expectations by listening to customers and following through on their concerns. Staff members understand each individual’s role in the organizational team, know their jobs, and accept that each person is responsible for their own work, choices, and actions. Staff members are trustworthy and courteous and show honor and accept people with diverse opinions and backgrounds. Staff performs professionally beyond the parameters of the job while being creative, innovative, flexible and adaptable to community needs. In short, City Staff provides our best for the community we serve. We provide quality service to our customers and positive development of our staff that promotes and expects accountability, respect and excellence. One of the ways the City is improving upon service is by investing in enterprise solution software that will integrate the services and data collection of the building division, development services division, planning department, clerk’s office, and code enforcement. This system will also have the ability to “talk” to our geographic information system, billing software, and water and sewer utility information database. By having information in a shared database, staff will be able to process permits, development applications, and licenses more efficiently and effectively and provide more accurate and timely responses to customer queries. Community Development Block Grant The City of Meridian became an Entitlement Community as designated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the fall of 2006. With the Entitlement Community designation, the City receives money annually through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The CDBG Program seeks to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. The City Council, with input from the public, establishes the overall direction of the CDBG Program in the Consolidated Plan, which identifies high-level goals and objectives for the five year interval covered by the Plan. Activities the City will undertake each year are detailed in annual action plans, which the City prepares and submits to HUD. Providing decent housing for low- and moderate-income persons is one of the primary goals of the CDBG Program, and HUD has a strong commitment to “Staff performs pro- fessionally beyond the parameters of the job while being creative, innovative, flexible and adaptable to community needs.” Chapter 82 6 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan affirmatively further fair housing. The City of Meridian, as a recipient of the CDBG federal funds, and its partnering non-profits, are obligated to not discriminate in housing or services directly or indirectly on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, familial status, or disability. In 2011, the City will update its Consolidated Plan for the next five years. Community input is an important component of each Consolidated Plan update, and the City works with individuals and local non-profit agencies to help determine the most critical needs within the community and determine how best to address those needs. As part of the updated Consolidated Plan process, the City will undergo an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. This review will determine any areas where the City can strengthen its anti-discrimination policies and practices to insure that all persons and households have access to decent housing options. Property Rights The City of Meridian wholly respects the rights of its citizens and their property, and is abjectly against the negligence, abuse or devaluing of private property by others. By encouraging property maintenance, preventing and mitigating incompatible land use, and ensuring local, state, and federal code compliance, residents should feel their private property rights are respected and secure. The City will continue to review its policy for compliance with the State regulatory takings guidelines, and ensure that its staff is appropriately trained in applicable code related to property rights. For a comprehensive review of property rights and regulatory takings analysis, which the City will use to review policy and code against for compliance with private property rights, please see Appendix C. “The City of Meridi- an wholly respects the rights of its citizens and their property, and is abjectly against the negligence, abuse or devaluing of pri- vate property by oth- ers.” 83City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 6Chapter I.D.GOALS / OBJECTIVES / ACTION ITEMS ELEMENT PRIORITY RESPONSIBLE LEAD 6.01.00 Provide a broad range of parks, programs, and recreational facilities that meet a variety of needs and uses and that are located geographically throughout Meridian and available to everyone. 6.01.01 Provide for park acquisition and maintenance to meet projected demands. 6.01.01A Require open space areas within all development.On-going Community Development 6.01.01B Update and maintain existing parks and recreation facilities to meet all regulatory, safety, and quality standards.On-going Parks 6.01.01C Support funding of Comprehensive Parks and Recreation System Plan projects and programs.On-going Council 6.01.01D Annually review, update and implement the Comprehensive Parks and Recreation System plan.High Parks 6.01.01E Identify and require future park sites using information in the Comprehensive Parks and Recreation System and on the Future Land Use Map.On-going Parks 6.01.01F Consider population/housing density when acquiring future land for parks and recreation.On-going Parks 6.01.02 Throughout the City, develop all park and recreation land to provide diversity of uses and activities. 6.01.02A Identify and provide for the recreation needs of all citizens.On-going Parks 6.01.02B Review possible sites within City for developing an indoor multiple-use facility.Medium Parks 6.01.02C Develop pathways to connect Meridian with Boise, Nampa, Kuna, and Eagle.Medium Parks 6.01.02D Develop indoor/outdoor multiple-use facilities (i.e., recreation center, fairgrounds, etc.) for a variety of recreational, educational, cultural, and sports purposes and uses.Low Parks 6.01.02E Create parks that encourage year-round use and multi-sensory play.On-going Parks 6.01.02F Provide a variety of park types (neighborhood parks, community parks, regional parks) interspersed throughout the community.On-going Parks 6.02.00 Ensure that adequate public services are provided for existing and future residents and businesses. 6.02.01 Plan and expand services as part of the development process. Chapter 6 – Goals, Objectives, & Action Items 84City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 6Chapter I.D.GOALS / OBJECTIVES / ACTION ITEMS ELEMENT PRIORITY RESPONSIBLE LEAD 6.02.01A Implement the City's Pathways Master Plan to provide a bike and pathways system between neighborhoods, local collectors, and community destinations.

As discussed in Chapter 1, however, citizens, developers, the Planning and Zoning Commission, as well as the City Council and other groups and commissions, are all involved and also responsible for shaping community development and the overall pattern of growth within the community. Making the Plan Reality Alignment with Other Plans and Resources One of the key ways that the Comprehensive Plan becomes an improved tool for growth is to align it with other established plans and goals for the City. The specific plans and documents that are adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan include: the Existing Conditions Report, the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan, the City of Meridian Strategic Plan, the Architectural Standards Manual, the Comprehensive Parks and Recreation System Plan, the Meridian Pathways Master Plan, Downtown Meridian Street Cross-section Master Plan, Destination Downtown, Communities in Motion, ACHD’s Roadways to Bikeways Bicycle Master Plan, and the Master Street Map, Complete Streets Policy, the Livable Street Design Guide from ACHD’s Transportation and Land Use Integration Plan (TLIP), and the Ada County Emergency Plans and Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan. The City hereby adopts as addenda to the Comprehensive Plan the versions of these documents in effect at the time the Comprehensive Plan is approved by the City Council, and as amended. The Comprehensive Plan has a symbiotic relationship with and works in concert with City Code, the City’s Community Development Block Grant Consolidated Plan, the City’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy, the City’s Sewer and Water Master Plans, other department master plans, capital improvement plans, and various transportation plans and studies. It is also used in conjunction with each City department’s strategic plan, action plan, and annual employee performance appraisal. All City departments should use the Comprehensive Plan as a tool for setting work plans, budgets, capital improvements, and allocating other resources for City Council approval. City staff from all departments will regularly discuss and coordinate the needs of the City. Staff will work together with the common goal of guiding growth, providing City services within available resources, being organized and efficient, and being good stewards of the public trust. “Implementation of the Plan will take hard work and dedi- cation from the entire community.” Chapter 88 7 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan Next Steps After adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, one of the first steps will be to prioritize the action items listed in the Plan. City Departments and other stakeholders will be part of the process to determine which action items are immediate, intermediate or long-term priorities. This consolidated list of the action items will be referred to as the Implementation Plan of the Comprehensive Plan and it will establish both an action item lead and support, including all City departments or civic organizations that need to be involved in completing each action. After staff consensus on priorities, the draft Implementation Plan will be shared with the Mayor and Council. By assigning both responsibility, and priority, the intent is to provide for the timely execution of the various components of the Plan. On a regular basis, City staff will report back to the Council on progress being made in completing action items. It is also anticipated that additional action items may be added and an update to both the text of the Comprehensive Plan and the Existing Conditions Report will occur on a semi-annual basis, and/or as otherwise needed. Implementation of the Plan will take hard work and dedication from the entire community. Hopefully, everyone finds the organization of this document to be user-friendly and the goals, objectives and action items representative of the community’s vision. 89City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 7Chapter I.D.GOALS / OBJECTIVES / ACTION ITEMS ELEMENT PRIORITY RESPONSIBLE LEAD 7.01.00 Shape the future of the City by providing citizens and City leaders with a Comprehensive Plan Vision and City ordinances that execute that vision 7.01.01 Advance, support, and promote development of planning and economic development tools. 7.01.01A Keep current the Unified Development Code and Future Land Use Map to implement the provisions of this plan.On-going Community Development 7.01.01B Support the Economic Excellence team.On-going Council 7.01.01C Maintain, update and find better ways to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in everyday City business and project-specific purposes.On-going All 7.01.01D Engage the public in land use planning processes by using a variety of methods to inform and solicit comments.On-going Community Development 7.01.01E Update the Unified Development Code to establish incentives and regulations for small-scale or specialized agricultural operations in certain parts of the City. High Community Development 7.01.01F Integrate land use and transportation planning to ensure that they mutually support the communities' goals and desires.On-going Community Development 7.01.01G Review the status of the Comprehensive Plan implementation plan to ensure steady progress.On-going Community Development 7.01.01H Require that the Planning and Zoning Commission duties include detailed review of the adopted Comprehensive Plan at least once a year and that decisions explicitly reflect support and advance of the Plan as the primary factor of approval.On-going Community Development 7.01.01I Require that public meetings be held regularly to review the Comprehensive Plan and to promote a better understanding of the plan and its purpose.On-going Community Development 7.01.01J Conduct work sessions with area cities and counties as needed to better coordinate planning policies regionally.On-going Community Development 7.01.01K Organize and fund committees or special commissions consistent with the provisions of this plan.On-going Council 7.01.01L Require that the Unified Development Code and all other City and County ordinances are enforced.On-going Council 7.01.01M Educate the public and advisory boards so that they understand the Comprehensive Plan's legal elements and intent.On-going Legal Chapter 7 – Goals, Objectives, & Action Items 90City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 7Chapter ~ This page left intentionally blank ~ A A-1 Appendix City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan Glossary Terms Affordable Housing – Housing with rents or mortgage costs that are 30% or less of the gross monthly income of a household at 80% or below the Boise Metropolitan Statistical Area median income. Area of City Impact – Also known as the City’s planning area. It is the land area surrounding the limits of each City, negotiated between each individual City and the county in which it lies. Each City has comprehensive planning authority for its Area of City Impact, but until annexation occurs, zoning and development entitlement is handled by the county. Buffer – An area within a property or site, generally adjacent to and parallel with the property line, either consisting of existing natural vegetation or created by the use of trees, shrubs, berms and/or fences and designed to limit views and sounds from the development tract to adjacent parties and vice versa. Also commonly used when describing a transitional use, typically office, between residential and commercial or industrial. Building Code – Legislative regulations that prescribe the materials, requirements and methods to be used in the construction, rehabilitation, maintenance and repair of buildings. The City of Meridian, per state statue, has adopted the Uniform Building Code (UBC), developed by the International Conference of Building Officials. Capital Improvement Program – A process of identifying and budgeting for the public facilities that a jurisdiction will need to construct in order to serve existing and anticipated development. Capital improvement programming is typically done in five-year increments with annual updates. A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) must address the type of project, the location of the project, the cost of the project, the source of funds to finance the project, the agency or department responsible for the project, and the time frame for completion of the project. Capital Improvement Programs are a primary tool of most growth management programs. Compatible – Land uses capable of existing together without conflict or ill effects. Conditional Use – A utilization of land having characteristics such that it may be allowed in a particular zoning district only after review by the Commission and Council, and granting of approval imposing conditions deemed necessary to make the proposed use compatible with other uses in the area. Conditional Use Permit – Permit issued to allow a conditional use. Cross-Access Agreement – An agreement between adjacent property owners in which internal connections are provided between parking areas in order to improve traffic flow on the street by minimizing the number of access points needed. Cross-access agreements are typically obtained incrementally as a condition of approval for new development. The first one to develop will be Appendix A A-2 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan required to make an irrevocable offer of cross-access to the adjacent parcel and must design the parking lot to accommodate the access. When the adjacent owner wishes to develop, they will be conditioned to reciprocate with a similar cross-access agreement and complete the access. Density Bonus – Incentives given for dedication of land to the public for parks, schools, or other public facilities. Dry-line Sewer – The installation of a sewage collection system designed to be served by gravity flow into the City of Meridian municipal wastewater system, in accordance with current facilities plans, that is not initially operational because downstream sewers are not yet constructed. Fair Housing Act – Fair Housing Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, enacted to prohibit housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, handicap, sex, and/or familial status. Fire Flow – The minimum number of gallons per minute that are needed to fight a fire in a structure, for two continuous hours through fire plugs in the near proximity of the structure. Fire flow requirements are established by the national Uniform Fire Code and are a factor in the City’s Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating. Floodway – Drainage and irrigation channels and adjacent land areas that must be reserved to discharge flood waters from a 100-year flood. Development is prohibited in this area. Green Building – Also known as green construction or sustainable building, is the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building’s life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. Hazardous Waste – Waste that poses substantial or potential threats to public health or the environment. There are four factors that determine whether or not a substance is hazardous: ignitability (i.e., flammable), reactivity, corrosiveness and toxicity Infill Development – Development on vacant parcels, or redevelopment of existing parcels to a higher and better use, that is surrounded by developed property within the City of Meridian. Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) – An internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies intended to improve performance in metrics such as energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts. Low Impact Development (LID) – A term used in the United States to describe a land planning and engineering design approach to managing stormwater runoff. A A-3 Appendix City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan LID emphasizes conservation and use of on-site natural features to protect water quality. Neighborhood Center – A development area that includes a mix of uses and housing types, a central public gathering place, interconnecting streets and alleys, schools within walking distance, and services (office and retail) to serve the neighborhood. The basic goal is integration of the activities of potential residents with work, shopping, recreation and transit all within walking distance. Public Facilities and Services – See Urban Services. Reclaimed Water – Former wastewater (sewage) that has been treated to remove solids and certain impurities, and then used in sustainable landscaping irrigation or to recharge groundwater aquifers. This is done for sustainability and water conservation, rather than discharging the treated wastewater to surface waters such as rivers and oceans. Sometimes called recycled water. Strategic Plan – The strategic plan will serve as a roadmap for the City’s success over a period of five years. It will also serve as a tool to communicate the City’s intentions to the community, focus the direction of its financial resources and employees, and ensure that short-term goals and objectives are met in a timely fashion to ensure attainment of the City’s overall vision. Urban Service Planning Area – Priority planning area where City of Meridian sewer and water facilities and most other services and utilities are available or planned in officially adopted plans. Urban Services – Services provided by the City of Meridian or established jurisdictions within the City of Meridian, including City of Meridian water, fire protection by Meridian City-Rural Fire District, City of Meridian parks and recreation facilities, City of Meridian police protection, public sanitary sewers owned by the City of Meridian, public transit, schools, storm drainage facilities, and urban standard streets and roads. Walkable – Development that contains a comprehensive network of sidewalks and trails. Development tends to be compact, and diverse, providing varied and plentiful destinations for walking and cycling; destinations tend to be within ¼ of a mile from dwellings. Environment is safe and aesthetically pleasing, with open space interspersed throughout development.

By encouraging property maintenance, preventing and mitigating incompatible land use, and ensuring local, state, and federal code compliance, residents should feel their private property rights are respected and secure. The City will continue to review its policy for compliance with the State regulatory takings guidelines, and ensure that its staff is appropriately trained in applicable code related to property rights. The following checklist is used in reviewing proposed regulations or actions to ensure compliance with private property rights. 1. Does the regulation or action result in a permanent or temporary physical occupation of private property? Regulation or action resulting in permanent or temporary occupation of all or a portion of private property will generally constitute a “taking.” For example, a regulation that required landlords to allow installation of cable television boxes in their apartments was found to constitute a “taking.” (See Loretto v. Teleprompter Manhattan CATV Corp., 458 U.S. 419 [1982].) 2. Does the regulation or action require a property to dedicate a portion of property or to grant an easement? Carefully review all regulations requiring the dedication of property or grant of an easement. The dedication of property must be reasonably and specifically designed to represent or compensate for adverse impacts of the proposed development. Likewise, the magnitude of the burden placed on the proposed development should be reasonably related to the adverse impacts created by the development. A court will also consider whether the action in question substantially advances a legitimate state interest. For example, the United States Supreme Court determined in Nollan v. California Coastal Comm’n, 483 U.S. 825 (1987) that compelling an owner of waterfront property to grant public easement across his property that does not substantially advance the public’s interest in beach access, constitutes a “taking.” Likewise, the United States Supreme Court held that compelling a property owner to leave a public green way, as opposed to a private one, did not substantially advance protection of a floodplain, and was a “taking.” (Dolan v. City of Tigard, 114 U.S. 2309 [June 24, 1994].) 3. Does the regulation deprive the owner of all economically viable uses of the property? If a regulation prohibits all economically viable or beneficial uses of the land, it will likely constitute a “taking.” In this situation, the agency can avoid liability for just compensation only if it can demonstrate that the proposed uses are prohibited by the laws of nuisance or other pre-existing limitations on the use of the property (See Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Coun., 112 S. Ct. 2886 [1992].) Appendix C C-2 City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan Unlike 1 and 2 above, it is important to analyze the regulation’s impact on the property as a whole, and not just the impact on a portion whether there is any profitable use of the remaining property available. (See Florida Rock Industries, Inc. v. United States, 18 F.3d 1560 [Fed. Cir. 1994]. The remaining use does not necessarily have to be the owner’s planned use, a prior use or the highest and best use of the property. One factor in this assessment is the degree to which the regulatory action interferes with a property owner’s reasonable investment backed expectations. Carefully review regulations requiring that all of a particular parcel of land be left substantially in its natural state. A prohibition of all economically viable users of the property is vulnerable to a takings challenge. In some situations, however, there may be pre-existing limitations on the use of property that could insulate the government from takings liability. 4. Does the regulation have a significant impact on the landowner’s economic interest? Carefully review regulations that have a significant impact on the owner’s economic interest. Courts will often compare the value of property before and after the impact of the challenged regulation. Although a reduction in property value alone may not be a “taking,” a severe reduction in the property value often indicates a reduction or elimination of reasonably profitable uses. Another economic factor courts will consider is the degree to which the challenged regulation impacts any developmental rights of the owner. As with 3, above, these economic factors are normally applied to the property owner as a whole. 5. Does the regulation deny a fundamental attribute of ownership? Regulations that deny the landowner a fundamental attribute of ownership-- including the right to possess, exclude other and dispose of all or a portion of the property—are potential takings. The United States Supreme Court recently held that requiring a public easement for recreational purposes where the harm to be prevented was to the flood plain was a “taking.” In finding this to be a “taking,” the Court stated: The City never demonstrated why a public green way, as opposed to a private one, was required in the interest of flood control. The difference to the petitioner, of course, is the loss of her ability to exclude others…[T]his right to exclude others is “one of the most essential sticks in the bundle of rights that are commonly characterized as property.” Dolan v. City of Tigard, 114 U.S. 2309 (June 24, 1994). The United States Supreme Court has also held that barring inheritance (an essential attribute of ownership) of certain interest in land held by individual members of an Indian tribe constituted a “taking.” Hodel v. Irving, 481 U.S. 704 (1987). C C-3 Appendix City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan 6. Does the regulation serve the same purpose that would be served by directly prohibiting the use or action; and does the condition imposed substantially advance that purpose? A regulation may go too far and may result in a takings claim where it does not substantially advance a legitimate governmental purpose. (Nollan v. California Coastal Commission, 107 S. CT. 3141 [1987]; Dolan v. City of Tigard, 114 U.S. 2309 [June 24, 1994].) In Nollan, the United States Supreme Court held that it was an unconstitutional “taking” to condition the issuance of a permit to land owners on the grant of an easement to the public to use their beach. The court found that since there was not an indication that the Nollan’s house plans interfered in any way with the public’s ability to walk up and down the beach, there was no “nexus” between any public interest that might be harmed by the construction of the house, and the permit condition. Lacking this connection, the required easement was just as unconstitutional as it would be if imposed outside the permit context. Likewise, regulatory actions that closely resemble, or have effects of a physical invasion or occupation or property, are more likely to be found to be takings. The greater the deprivation of use, the greater the likelihood that a “taking” will be found.

DEPARTMENT CONTACT PERSONS Emily Skoro, Staff Engineer II 489-0356 Clint Dolsby, Assistant City Engineer 489-0341 Warren Stewart, City Engineer 489-0350 Tom Barry, PW Director 489-0372 II. DESCRIPTION A. Describe Item Influent pumping of raw sewage is one of the initial steps in the treatment process for municipal wastewater at the Meridian Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility. As such, it is critical these pumps be designed to pass solids through to downstream treatment processes and be easy to maintain should a pump become plugged with debris. An influent pump station is designed to meet peak hour capacity with one pump out of service, so down time for maintenance cannot be extended beyond a few hours. Two types of influent pumping systems were considered for the Headworks Capacity Expansion project: Hidrostal Submersible Pumps with Prerostal Intake Basins and Vertical Turbine Solids Handling (VTSH) Pumps. While both systems have good capability of passing solids through to downstream treatment processes, the Hidrostal Submersible Pumps offers the following advantages over the VTSH Pumps: Page I of 2 • A shallower pump station wet well as cleaning occurs within each pump's prerostal intake basin. VTSH pumps have a deeper wet well which adds unnecessary cost and construction risk. Easy removal from the wet well for maintenance purposes. The guiderail system will allow staff to pull the pumps for service with existing maintenance equipment. This is advantageous because operations would not have to purchase any additional equipment or rent equipment to perform maintenance on the pumps. VTSH pumps require a crane to lift the pumps from the wet well which means more time and money as the crane would be rented ($2500) each time maintenance is required. Freeze -free bearings. Submersible pumps do not require lubrication of the pump shaft bearings as they are immersed in water. This eliminates building an approximately $400,000 enclosure that would be required if purchasing the VTSH pumps as they have had freezing issues if not protected from the weather. Based on the comparison of Hidrostal and VTSH pumps, the Public Works Department recommends procuring Hidrostal Submersible Pumps with Prerostal Intake Basins. The Public Works Department requests a sole source procurement as there is no functional equivalent for the Hidrostal Influent Pump with Prerostal Intake Basin only available through Hidrostal. Departmental Approval: / Page 2 of 2 �EN CITY OF MERIDIAN SOLE SOURCE FORM Date: 6/13/2016 PURCHASING AGENT 33 East Broadway Avenue Meridian, ID 83642 Phone: 208-8884433 Fax: 208-887-4813 Item or Service: Hidrostal Influent Submersible Pumps with Prerostal Intake Basins X Sole Source: Item is available from only one vendor. Item is one -of -a kind item and is not sold through distributors. Manufacturer is a sole distributor. Refer to instructions on 2"d page for completion. JUSTIFICATION: (Attach additional pages if needed) Influent pumping is one of the initial steps in the treatment process for municipal wastewater. As such, it is critical that these pumps be designed to pass solids through to downstream treatment processes and be easy to maintain should a pump become plugged with debris. The influent pump station will be designed to meet peak hour capacity with one pump out of service, so down time for maintenance cannot be extended for lengthy durations. Two types of influent pumping systems were considered for the Headworks Capacity Expansion project: Hidrostal Submersible Pumps with Prerostal Intake Basins and Vertical Turbine Solids Handling (VTSH) Pumps. While both systems have good capability of passing solids through to downstream treatment processes, the Hidrostal Submersible Pumps offer the following advantages to the VTSH Pumps: • Shallower pump station wet well as cleaning occurs within each pump's prerostal intake basin. VTSH pumps require an ogee ramp to create a hydraulic jump for cleaning. Installation of the ogee ramp adds depth to the pump station wet well. Submersible Hidrostal pumps are more easily removed from the wet well for maintenance purposes. The guiderail system will allow staff to pull the pumps for service with existing maintenance equipment. VTSH pumps would require a crane to lift the pumps from the wet well for access and maintenance purposes. Relying on crane removal/replacement of the pumps could extend their down time period. Submersible pumps do not require lubrication of the pump shaft bearings as they are immersed in water. Operations and maintenance staff have experienced freezing issues with a seal water lubrication system on existing VTSH pumps at the WRRF. Utilizing Hidrostal pumps will eliminate the need for a building enclosure or other means of freeze protection around the pump station wet well. Based on the comparison of Hidrostal and VTSH pumps, the Public Works Department recommends procuring Hidrostal Submersible Pumps with Prerostal Intake Basins. The Public Works Department requests a sole source procurement as there is no function equivalent for the Hidrostal Influent Pump with Prerostal Intake Basin. CERTIFICATION: I am aware of the requirements set forth in the City's Purchasing Policy & Procedures Manual for competitive bidding and the established criteria for justification for sole source/sole brand purchasing. I have gathered technical information and have made a concerted effort to review comparable/equal equipment. I hereby certify as to the validity of the information and feel confident that this justification for sole source/sole brand meets the City's criteria and is accurate.

The classifj.cations are listedin alphabetical order of "identifiers" that lndicate whether the particurarrate is a union rate (current union neqotiated rate for tocal), a survey rate(wei-ghted average rate) or a union average rate (weiqhted union avelaqerate ) . Union Rate I dent i fl er:s A four retter classification abbreviation identifier encrosed in dotted rinesbeginning with characters other than ,'SU" or ',UAVG', denotes that the unionclassification and rate were prevailing for that classification in thesurvey. Example: PLUMo198-005 0'l/07/2014. PLUM is an abbreviatlon identifierof the union which prevaj-l-ed in the survey for this classification, lrhich inthis example would be pr.urnbers. 0198 indicates the locat uni.on nu(ber ordistrict council nunber where applicab.te, i.e., plunrbers Local 019g. The nextnurnber, 005 in the example, is an internaf number used in processing the wagedetelm.ination. 01 /07/20L4 is the effective date of the most currentnegotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,2014.

Task Order 6009.b RWT pathway projecl Key No. 13918 CTAArchitects Engineers Page '10 of 12 Survey Rate Identifiers Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevaifed for thls classification in the survey and the pubfished rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reportedin the survey fo! that classification. As thj-s weighted average rate incfudes all rates reported in the survey, it may j-nclude both union and non-union rates. Exampler SULA2012-00? 5/L3/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted avelage cal-culation of rates and are not:majority rates, LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 ts the year of survey on wh.ich these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal nunber used in producing the i,rage determination. 5/73/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. Survey wage rate s conducted. ale not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is Un j-on Average Rate ldentifiers Classificati-oo(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 1003 of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0o10 A8/29/2a74. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next nunlcer, 0010 in the example, is an lnternal nurnlcer used in producing the wage detelr0lnation. O8/29/2A\4 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that ident i fier. A UAVG rate will be updated once a year. usually in January of each year, toreflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

Summary Signalized Left-In –Advantages: •Will solve the current issue although left-turn crashes can still occur. •Provides capacity needed for future buildout. •Better traffic operations at River Valley and Fairview signals. –Disadvantages: •Does not meet ITD’s ½ mi signal spacing. •Precedent that may result in other requests. •Some right-turns from Fairview will stop at the signal. •May result in slightly slower speeds on Eagle Road between Fairview and River Valley.

This request was presented to the Meridian Solid Waste Advisory Commission on September 28, 2016. After considering all testimony and information presented, SWAC moved to recommend approval of the proposed change and for Republic Services to bring the matter forward to City Council. Date: October 11, 2016 Background: In January of 2000, Sanitary Services Company (SSC) signed an agreement with the City of Meridian to provide trash collection services. Two commercial trash trucks served all the businesses in town. For safety reasons, the contract required SSC to collect trash from the ten public schools within Meridian city limits between the hours of 5 - 7 a.m., as memorialized in MCC Title 4-1-8. B (the franchisee “shall provide commercial service every day except Sunday, commencing at five o'clock (5:00) A.M. Public and private schools shall be serviced between five o'clock (5:00) A.M. and seven o'clock (7:00) A.M.)” In the past sixteen years, the population of Meridian has grown from 37,235 residents (2000 Census) to over 90,000. It is now the second largest city in Idaho, and according to the recent articles in the Idaho Statesman, multiple high-density housing projects are proposed for construction in the near future. To accommodate the growing population, twenty new public schools were built within city limits between January of 2000 and today, including: Central Academy (2004), Discovery Elementary (2003), Heritage Middle School (2006), Hillsdale Elementary (2016), Hunter Elementary (2005), Lewis and Clark Middle School (2001), Meridian Medical Arts (2003), Mountain View High School (2003), Paramount Elementary (2007), Pathways Middle School (2005), Peregrine Elementary (Fall 2000), Ponderosa Elementary (2002), Prospect Elementary (2006), Rebound (2010), Renaissance (2009), River Valley Elementary (Fall 2000), Rocky Mountain High School (2008), Sienna Elementary (2008), Victory Middle School (2016) and Willow Creek Elementary (2012). With business growth came the demand for commercial recycling which was added to the franchise in 2001. This additional line of business required more trucks and service. Further accelerating growth, Meridian has gone through multiple annexations over the past 16 years. The City is now almost 27 square miles and the public schools are strategically spread from edge-to-edge and throughout the municipal footprint (see school map). Current Conditions: We now have 1,136 businesses with commercial trash service in the City, 449 of which have signed up for additional recycling service. Traffic has increased disproportionately to the increase in business and residential Rachele Klein, Business Development Manager 2130 W. Franklin Road, Meridian, ID 83642 Office (208) 345-1265/ Cell (208) 283-0624 accounts due to infrastructure constraints (i.e. congested two-lane roads, lack of right hand turn lanes and the decreased ability to make left turns along major thoroughfares), an increase in inbound employee traffic, and the increase in vehicles delivering goods and services to City businesses. Service is offered up to 6x/ week so multiple trucks are touching many sites multiple times each week. Additional trucks and drivers have been added to the fleet to accommodate the commercial growth but, under current conditions, we are unable to service all 30 schools within city limits before 7 a.m. The last schools are currently serviced close to 10:30 a.m. It would take two more trucks and drivers for the 5 – 7 a.m. window to stay compliant with the contract. Each truck costs $325,000 with an hourly use rate of $125 (truck and driver). Together, the additional trucks would be an extra $500/day (2 trucks, 2 hours each). The annual commercial rate impact of running two additional trucks two hours per day, five days per week and forty weeks per year would be $100,000. In an effort to contain costs, we have optimized routing and currently have all trucks moving from high to low areas of traffic congestion. We have considered the option of bringing trucks into Meridian from other service areas but all trucks are deployed between 5 – 7 a.m., removing school trash and recycling throughout the valley before pedestrians, bicycles, cars and busses arrive on campus. Proposed Contract/Code Change: In an effort to be proactive in addressing future growth and community safety, Republic Services is proposing a 4 a.m. commercial and industrial start time. This would allow us to utilize the drivers and assets currently on site and in our system. Allowing an earlier start time would bring Meridian into line with the 20+ other communities we reviewed in Idaho which have commercial and industrial start times of 4 a.m. or earlier. As density increases in this part of Idaho, the trend is to start trash services earlier in the day. Boise recently moved to 24/7 commercial and industrial trash collection which will be effective January 1, 2017. Starting by 4 a.m. in Meridian would allow us to maintain high safety standards and excellent customer service without seeking a rate increase for two additional trucks and drivers for the 5- 7 a.m. window. Early Morning Noise Concerns and Mitigation Efforts: We realize Meridian is a high quality community and we want to protect that culture. In an effort to address potential resident concerns about early morning noise, we pulled customer complaint data for the past 18 months (3/15 – 8/16) from our InfoPro system. Fifteen Meridian residents called in with noise concerns during this time (see log). Three of the complaints were from one person - a renter who is no longer residing at the same address. The majority of the residents lived along commercial-residential seams and had purchased homes before the nearby commercial parcels had been developed. They tended to be frustrated in general with early morning commotion – multiple delivery and service trucks frequenting the businesses close to their homes. These trucks (cleaning services, food/beverage delivery, etc.) operate 24/7. Several residents who called in lived close to schools and could hear our trucks (particularly during the spring and fall when their windows were open). Most residents were fine once we shared school safety concerns and the handful that needed further attention came before SWAC. In all cases, SWAC and Republic worked together to resolve the early morning noise issues by making small operating changes, including: moving the trash or recycling dumpster, installing plastic lids, using tire strips on the front of the dumpsters, not cycling the blade until off site or using white noise back-up beepers. Request: Republic Services will be presenting this Memo to SWAC at the September 28, 2016 meeting. We would like SWAC to take this memo under consideration, provide comments regarding the proposal to start one hour earlier, and make a recommendation to City Council.

However, as residential projects are annexed, staff has historically included a standard provision in development agreements that requires homes along arterial and collector roadways to provide “articulation through changes in materials, color, modulation, and architectural elements (horizontal and vertical) to break up monotonous wall planes and roof lines.” This condition is subject to interpretation in application and having clarity in what constitutes compliance benefits both the development community and staff. During the October 11 th workshop, Planning Staff would like to explain the process of residential building permit review, and understand what Council expects for single-family home elevations going forward.
