designation for approximately 22 acres of land located on the west side of Eagle Road/SH 55,
south of E. Pine Ave. The property affected by the CPA application is part of a larger land
holding which consists of 62+/- acres. The eastern portion of the site (fronting Eagle
Road/SH 55) is already designated Mixed Use-Regional; the western 22 acres is designated
Industrial on the Future Land Use Map and would be the only portion within the total area
affected by the CPA. (It should be clarified that the CPA application proposes a new MU-
Regional designation for the entire 62+/- acres, even though approximately 40 acres already
have the MU-Regional designation.) With the exception of one (I) acre at the southwest corner
of Eagle Road/SH 55 and Commercial that is zoned L-Q (Limited Office), the balance of the
property is presently zoned I-L (Light Industrial) and within the city limits.
3.
The proposed designation change within the subject application would, in fact,
require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, as determined by City policy.
4.
The requirements for a Comprehensive Plan are set forth in LC. § 67-
6508.
RECOMMENDATION
The Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission hereby recommends to the City Council
of the City of Meridian that they approve the requested Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the
Land Use Map to to change an existing "Industrial" designation to a "Mixed Use-Regional"
designation for approximately 22 acres ofland located on the west side of Eagle Road/SH 55,
south ofE. Pine Ave.
The Commission finds this is in the best interest of the City of Meridian for the following
reasons:

a. The existing and changing nature ofthe immediate vicinity does not lend itself to
future industrial uses;
b. The majority of the Elixir parcel is already designated as "Mixed Use-Regional" and
it is desirable to have the same designation on the entire parcel;
c. There are other locations in west Meridian where industrial uses may be more
compatible and appropriate than fronting on Eagle Road;
d. The cost of improving E. Pine Avenue - which the city desires - and the increasing
property values along Eagle Road make commercial/retail uses more feasible than
industrial uses; and
e. E. Pine Avenue, as a future 5-lane roadway with high traffic volumes, lends itself
better to commercial/retail uses versus industrial uses.
