AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MERIDIAN, APPROVING THE
SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE MERIDIAN REVITALIZATION PLAN URBAN RENEWAL
PROJECT, WHICH SECOND AMENDMENT SEEKS TO DEANNEX CERTAIN AREAS FROM
THE EXISTING MERIDIAN REVITALIZATION PROJECT AREA; WHICH SECOND AMEND-
MENT AMENDS A PLAN THAT INCLUDES REVENUE ALLOCATION FINANCING PROVI-

SUMMARY OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT
The Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Meridian Revitalization Plan Urban
Renewal Project (the “Plan” or the “Downtown District Plan”) was prepared by the Agency pursu-
ant to the Idaho Urban Renewal Law of 1965, Chapter 20, Title 50, Idaho Code, as amended (the
“Law”), the Local Economic Development Act, Chapter 29, Title 50, Idaho Code, as amended
(the “Act”), and all applicable laws and ordinances and was approved by the Agency. The Sec-
ond Amendment seeks to deannex two (2) areas from the Downtown District Plan Project Area
(the “Existing Project Area”). The Second Amendment being considered for adoption contains a
previously adopted revenue allocation financing provision pursuant to the Act that will continue to
cause property taxes resulting from any increases in equalized assessed valuation in excess of
the equalized assessed valuation on the parcels remaining in the Existing Project Area as shown
on the original base assessment roll as of January 1, 2002, that will continue to be allocated to
the Agency for urban renewal purposes.
The general scope and objective of the Second Amendment is the deannexation of two (2)
areas from the boundaries of the Existing Project Area.
The Second Amendment shall deannex the following two (2) areas from the Existing Project
Area. The first area consists of approximately 1.46 acres (including right-of-way) and is generally
bounded by E. Idaho Avenue on the north, NE 2nd Street on the east, a portion of Broadway
Avenue on the south, and E. Main Street on the west, and as more particularly described in At-
tachment 1B to the Second Amendment and generally depicted in the map below.
The second area consists of approximately 77 acres (including right-of-way) and is generally
bounded by Meridian Road on the west and E. Fairview Avenue on the north. The eastern bound-
ary extends south along what would be E. 4th Street if extended, over to 3rd Street. The southern
boundary extends to E. Pine Avenue between NE 3rd Street and NE 2nd Street, and then travels
up NE 2nd Street and over E. Washington Avenue to connect back to Meridian Road, and as more
particularly described in Attachment 1B to the Second Amendment and generally depicted in the
map below.
