SCOPE OF WORK
MERIDIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1: Foundation
Task 1.1 Project Initiation and Management. An in-person kickoff meeting between City Staff (CS) and consultant
team, and concurrently with the Steering Committee (SC) will be held to review project schedule, major milestones, and
deliverables; define communication protocol; and identify goals, key issues, and opportunities. Ongoing project
management activities include biweekly (every other week) phone calls ensuring scope, schedule, deliverable quality, and
budget are effectively managed and meet the City’s expectations.
Task 1.2 Project Logo and Branding. In-house graphic specialists will work to capture the look and feel of the project,
resulting in a clear, identifiable, and marketable brand for the Comprehensive Plan. The goal would be to build off the
City’s current brand, with a unique and recognizable look in consistent messaging and format.
Task 1.3 Public Communications and Stakeholder Involvement Plan. Logan Simpson, in coordination with CS will
draft and refine an extensive outreach program to enhance the planning process. The consultant team has placed a high
degree of emphasis and budget toward public engagement, as one of the primary objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
Task 1.4 Event Series #1: #MyMeridianValues. Event Series #1 will announce the overall process, conduct stakeholder
interviews, and begin to ask the community how they would like to be involved and to share their initial feelings about their
City. Listening to the ideas and concerns of individual voices will better inform the process and outcome. One kickoff event
will be held which could take the form of a listening session as a follow-up to stakeholder interviews. As a supplement to
the Celebratory Kickoff Event, additional outreach could include community events throughout the spring, such as Coffee
with the Mayor, Spring Clean, and more.
Task 1.5 Plan Audit . Logan Simpson will engage CS and potentially developers, boards and commissions, and others
familiar with the Comprehensive Plan in an assessment of relevant City, Ada County, Ada County Highway District, and
COMPASS policies, plans, standards, and guidelines — with the goal of understanding how Meridian’s policies operate
today and what needs and conflicts exist under current regulatory guidance in relation to expected future demands.
Task 1 Meetings/ Deliverables:
• CS and SC Kickoff Meetings #1 agendas, materials, facilitation, and summaries
• Event Series #1 print and media notification, online and text polling survey #1, outreach
plan, materials, facilitation, and summary

plans
City Staff Role:
• Logan Simpson will need City Staff assistance in broadcasting the word to the community.
This includes potentially placing branding signage at key destinations around the City.
• Logan Simpson will provide materials, but attendance at local events will primarily be CS.
• CS to provide stakeholder list and contact information and schedule meeting rooms for two full days
of interviews.
• CS to assist in distributing the Plan Audit.
Task 2: Visioning
Task 2.1 Event Series #2: #MyMeridianVision . Event Series #2 will build on the #MyMeridian campaign to increase
exposure and recognition, and utilize responses already gathered. Outreach of Event Series 2 will focus on a summer-long
series primarily through attendance at existing citywide events, which will focus on articulating the vision of Meridian.
Specific visioning areas (The Fields, Southwest Meridian, Magic View/Woodbridge, and the South Rim area) will be
emphasized in the visioning process. See Task 3.3 for more information on the specific visioning areas.
Task 2.2 Vision Document. The team will generate a summary of community values, with an overarching vision,
supporting vision statements, and goals that provide direction for each element of the plan. The vision will be strategically
integrated - bringing land use and community development ideas into focus along with multimodal transportation
strategies and taking into account Meridian’s economic role within the larger region.
Task 2 Meetings/ Deliverables:
• CS and SC Meetings #2 and #3 agendas, materials, facilitation, and summaries
• Event Series #2 print and media notification, online and text polling survey #2, meeting plan,
materials, facilitation, and summary. Logan Simpson will attend the first event. Logan Simpson
has also budgeted to create a basic photobooth to have at each event.

• Draft and final vision document
City Staff Role:
• Logan Simpson will provide materials, but attendance at local events will primarily be City Staff.
• City Staff will utilize City photographer for photobooth
• Staff will utilize City videographer to create a Visioning summary video
Task 3: Opportunities & Choices
Task 3.1. Strategic Growth Management and Public Services.
Task 3.1.1 Areas of Change. As part of the process, Logan Simpson will build a GIS model to illustrate areas of
change and areas of stability. Our spatial analysis will assess the collective patterns of growth with building permits,
shifting demands for goods and services due to changing demographics, current redevelopment areas and land use
densities, and vacant or underutilized lands. This model will not only help identify the location of various market
demands, but help illuminate future transportation and housing development potential and help identify locations for
successful redevelopment and infill projects.
As part of this task Logan Simpson create a Service Impact Tool to communicate the metrics of proposed projects and
whether they would meet locational standards. By showing the results geographically, the community can be selective
in prioritizing and pursuing annexation areas. The results may indicate that Area A is more attractive for annexation
because of existing infrastructure; whereas Area B would require a significant investment in services and infrastructure
extension.
Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 22, 2018 – Page 369 of 400
MERIDIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 10 of 15
PROJECT #10908
The tool will evaluate the location for development in key locations as is related to location and strategic fit
(relationship to the vision). The tool will be programmed in ArcGIS Online (City will acquire license) to assume all
staff can access the tool. The ArcGIS Online platform could provide access to the community if the City wishes. The
user will have the ability to spatially select a parcel/quadrant based on the online GIS parcel based future land use map.
Based on a prepopulated set of factors, the system will produce a report with a map inset with a series of locational and
strategic fit factors.
Task 3.2 Transportation and Economic Development
Task 3.2.1 Economic Development & Housing. The economic development and housing analysis will focus on
assuring that Meridian accommodates adequate housing to attract and retain the talent that will drive family-wage job
growth in the City. This recognizes that in today’s world employment growth is driven by the availability of talent, and
talent is mobile – choosing to locate in communities with a high quality of life and attainable housing options. Since the
intent is not to duplicate the work already contained in the Existing Conditions report, this analysis will incorporate more
targeted research on specific issues and opportunities relevant to the mobility, economic development, and housing
components.
Task 3.2.2 Overall Market Analysis. Leland Consulting Group will conduct a market analysis that addresses
demographic and economic trends in Meridian and the greater Boise area – and make specific recommendations on how
employment and residential land uses are balanced across the city and along specific corridors. We will base our analysis
on the current Existing Conditions report and the most current COMPASS population and employment projections.
The market analysis will include an assessment of population/household growth; income; employment; educational
attainment; and other demographic trends that are relevant to defining employment opportunities and housing potential.
Components in the analysis include:
• Identify the principal target industry clusters in Meridian. For each cluster, identify relevant locational and
workforce characteristics that would drive land use choices.
• Employment trends, including evolving locational and amenity considerations by industry.
• Analyze the following market indicators: population growth; household growth; household income levels; age-
by- income patterns (including relevant generational cohort trends); tenure (rent-versus-own) patterns;
household composition (size, family orientation, etc.); lifestyle segmentation (psychographics); employment
growth (both downtown and regionally); and other indicators, as identified. Prepare data and exhibits to
summarize these factors.
• Residential development trends (demand drivers, housing type, locations, and amenities)
• Vacancy and absorption rates for commercial and multi-family residential
• Commercial supply/ demand (office and retail)
Task 3.2.3 Corridor Market Analysis. A focused review of up to eight corridors (e.g., the Rail Corridor, Franklin Road,
Overland Road, Cherry Lane, Ustick Road, Ten Mile Road, Meridian Road, and the Future SH 16 corridor) will be used
to ensure that planned land uses are of the right mix and scale to support transit use in the future. This effort will ensure
that land uses provide enough ridership to justify transit investments, while also leveraging each corridor’s unique
development context. This work will also identify opportunities to capture the value of real estate and economic
development along each corridor to support funding of a future transit system.
The assessment for each corridor will include the following:
• Assess existing zoning to determine whether the zoning would permit TOD and employment land
uses at an adequate scale to leverage transit infrastructure, such as the rail line or planned bus
routes;
• Map key opportunity sites (vacant, underutilized, key anchor land uses) and key nodes
(locations with lateral access to adjacent districts);
Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda May 22, 2018 – Page 370 of 400
MERIDIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 11 of 15
PROJECT #10908
• Identify market-supported residential, employment, and mixed-use land use typologies that
conform to the community vision while leveraging the asset of the corridors;
• Project development capacity on the corridors using adopted COMPASS projections and
incorporating transit-supportive residential and employment land use typologies;
• Identify catalyst development sites and recommend specific infrastructure investments that
can lay the groundwork for future development of the corridors;
The outcome of this task will include annotated maps and infographics to show the existing and potential opportunities
for development along the corridors. Deliverables will be designed to be reader friendly and easily transferable into the
public engagement and information process.
Task 3.2.4 Master Mobility Map. Kittelson will help the City articulate its vision for its transportation system by
working with the City to create a multi-year Master Mobility Map. We will work with the City to gather currently
available GIS information illustrating existing area transportation plans and infrastructure. These files will be combined
into a single geodatabase. A general review across the City to identify areas that may be underserved by existing
transportation plans. Kittelson will identify these areas and recommend action items for the City to undertake to work
with its partner agencies to address these areas in future planning efforts.
Information will be consolidated into a Master Mobility Map containing the information gathered from the
transportation agencies and the City of Meridian’s desired future transportation system. The analyses completed for this
task will generally be qualitative. Projected volumes provided by COMPASS will be reviewed as well as data available
from other recently completed transportation studies, but there will not be any detailed post-processing or traffic
operations analyses completed.
This Master Mobility Map will take a long range look and go beyond the transportation agencies typical planning
horizons to address, define, and support the vision for Meridian’s future transportation system.
The results of the above tasks will be reviewed with City staff and the Transportation Commission. Based on this review,
changes may be made to the draft planned land-uses and/or the transportation recommendations. Once these refinements
are made, Kittelson will identify action items for City staff to pursue with its transportation agency partners to help them
implement its vision for the City.
Kittelson will provide the final GIS files used to create the Master Mobility Map to the City for the City to use in
creating an online mapping application.
Task 3.3 Opportunity Area and Policy Choices. Based on the previous analysis, key choices regarding citywide goals,
objectives, and implementation strategies will be articulated. Specific visioning areas, distinct corridors, neighborhoods,
and commercial areas will be delineated to allow for tailored analysis and recommendations for those areas. Key metrics
on the provision of housing, infrastructure, education, job creation, and economic development will be used to evaluate
scenarios. Additional analysis for the specific visioning areas will include:
• 3.3.1 Fields Area. Logan Simpson will conduct additional stakeholder meetings and 1 workshop to establish a
framework for community preference. This task will include additional study to determine the right land use
mix and market realities to meet public and city goals.
• 3.3.2 Southwest Meridian. Logan Simpson will conduct additional stakeholder meetings and 1 workshop on
specific planning for the Southwest Meridian Area. This task will include additional study to determine the
right land use mix, specifically the appropriateness of low-intensity future land uses and potential conflicts
areas.
• 3.3.3 Magic View/Wood Bridge. For additional analysis we’ve continued to team with Kittelson to take a long-
range look at land uses and a potential revised roadway network. Expanded stakeholder outreach and
coordination will be a key component of this task.
• 3.3.4 South Rim Area. Logan Simpson proposes to focus additional efforts on refinements, expansive public
outreach, and vetting of current City plans and Council action for the area.

PROJECT #10908
Task 3.4 Event Series #3: #MeridianontheMove. Event Series #3 will be focused around a weeklong series
of events focused around Winter Wonderland to discuss opportunities and investigate benefits and effects of
key choices. Key to this discussion is not only identifying where these opportunities would take place, but what
additional factors do they influence and/or affect.
City Staff Role:
• Staff to assist in scheduling public events.
Task 4: Strategies and Plan Development
Task 4.1 Preliminary Land Use Plan. The plan will include required land use mixes, opportunity area schematics,
implementation priorities and phases, and other features. Our team will refine the Plan’s vision and articulate the goals,
objectives, policies, and strategies, including process and regulatory implementation.
Task 4.2 Preliminary Implementation Strategies. Our team will work to create a tailored implementation and
monitoring program that meets the City’s current needs while being adaptable to changing circumstances in the future.
We will identify ways to address gaps in current programs, policies, and services and will recommend actionable
regulatory revisions, strategic initiatives, and catalyst projects, ensuring projects and actions tier and link with capital
work programs, sustainability initiatives, and other plans.
Task 4 Meetings/ Deliverables:
• CS and SC Meetings #6 and #7 agendas, materials, facilitation, and summaries
• Draft and final land use map
• Draft and final policy recommendations and implementation strategy (including a matrix of
recommendations with anticipated order of magnitude cost, responsibilities, and phased by
timing that can be either included in the Plan or a supplemental document)
Task 5: Draft & Final Comprehensive Plan
