Meridian Comprehensive Plan
I respectfully petition the Meridian City Council to revise the Comprehensive Plan/FLUM to
include the following two items:
1. The creation of a Rural/Very Low residential zoning designation.
Rationale:
a. During the visioning survey for the Comprehensive Plan, stakeholders asked the city to
"preserve, protect and enrich Meridian's strong historic charm and character.” However, a
rural designation is not included in the Future Land Use Map.
b. Such a designation is needed to support our community’s values, and provide for a
variety of housing types and densities varying from large estate or semi-rural lots.
c. Meridian has numerous enclaves of 5-, 10- and 15-, and 20-acre rural estate properties.
To plan MDR zones adjacent to such properties is to encourage inappropriate adjacent
transition.
2. A minimum standard of 15% qualified open space in most residential districts.
Rationale: In response to the stakeholder survey responses for open space, pathways,
amenities and sustainable development, we request the immediate adoption of a minimum
standard of 15% qualified open space in most residential districts, with an increased set
aside for the City’s high density districts, and a 25% discount if the development is within ¼
mile of a public park.
