This beautiful neighborhood of 28 residential 5 acre parcels has been a wellspring of great tasting food, 4H animals, beautiful wildlife, and a refuge from the crowded growth of Treasure Valley for many generations. Recently, Meridian City planners have sought zoning changes which would turn this agricultural land into pollution creating factories over the next several decades (view the comprehensive plan at: https://meridiancitv.orglplanning long= range compplan ). EI Gato farmer's protests are being ignored by city planners because they don't have any voting rights within the city of Meridian. Please help your friends on EI Gato Lane by signing this petition, especially if you do have voting rights! The following is an example of how this zoning designation is hurting farmers right now even though it would not go into effect until annexation. Today, if only one farmer decides to sell his home, prospective buyers will see that this home is designated for future industrial zoning. This causes all neighbor's property value to plummet. We are already seeing prices drop in this neighborhood because prospective buyers are viewing city plans and don't want to take this risk. No families want to buy this land knowing that it could someday be surrounded by factories and warehouses. As home values plummet, large companies will be happy to buy these homes and acreages for peanuts and use them for industrial purposes. One by one, each home will be sold to industrial developers who can lobby for annexation instead of staying in the hands of new aspiring smallholders. This area will gradually change from beautiful wildlife, organic produce, and horse stables into ugly factories. Meridian City Council expects that this change will go uncontested because they assume their constituents who live in the city of Meridian do not care about what happens to farmers outside city limits. They expect to get voted back into office because no one will even remember how they hurt a few small holders outside the city. Don't let this go unnoticed! Sign this petition to show scheming politicians you are tired of zoning plans that only benefit wealthy developers at the expense of farmers. Share this with friends on social media so this agricultural neighborhood can be enjoyed by human and wildlife visitors for many generations to come. Dear City Council, We, the undersigned, demand that you retain Low Density Residential Land Use in the EI Gato corridor on the comprehensive plan (area South of Cherry Lane to the train tracks).

Planning and Zoning meeting to approve the comprehensive plan So this plan so far still has to go through a few more layers of approval which means we have just a little more time to get signatures. The next P&Z approval for this plan will be held 10/17/19 at 5:30pm at Meridian City hall. Someone from our neighborhood will speak against this plan and will ask for a show of hands in the room of all those who disapprove of the city's plans. Please help us pack this room so City Council knows how important this is to our residents. Please arrive early so you can have a seat! https://www. ch an ge. org/p/sto p -i da ho-bu rea u crat-s-schem a-th at -favors -wealth y-deve lope rs-by-pus h i ng-out-loca I-farme rs-over-th e -n ext -10 -yea rs?recr... 4/16 10/17/2019 Petition - Preserve agricultural land in Meridian, Idaho - Change.org Ryan Manwaring 2 days ago 2 weeks ago Ryan Manwaring started this petition Reasons for signing https://www. ch an ge. org/p/sto p -i da ho-bu rea u crat-s-schem a-th at -favors -wealth y-deve lope rs-by-pus h i ng-out-loca I-farme rs-over-th e -n ext -10 -yea rs?recr... 5/16 10/17/2019 Petition • Preserve agricultural land in Meridian, Idaho - Change.org Marci Howells, EdD•4 hours ago As a Native Idahoan, taxpayer, Mother, Grandmother, I believe our Treasure Valley farmland, natural resource habits must be protected.
