Short Plat
In accord with City Code, the proposed short plat for the Budget Blinds Subdivision is a lot in a recorded subdivision;
has not been short platted or otherwise divided by Ada County Development Services; does not exceed 4 lots; is
not proposing new street dedication or widening; and there will be no impact to the health, safety or general
welfare of the city. This subdivision is in the best interest of the city as it will increase commercial opportunities in
this area of Meridian.
The Budget Blinds Subdivision will
create two commercial lots by
subdividing lot 41 within the
existing Lochsa Falls No. 12
Subdivision. The proposed lots will
comprise Lots 1 and 2 in the
Budget Blinds Subdivision. Lot 1 is
approximately 33,916 square feet
and Lot 2 is approximately 42,608
square feet.
As required by the existing
development agreement (Inst. No.
103012598), both lots will require
conditional use permit approval in
any future proposed uses. Site
design will be determined with
those applications. All dimensional
standards and previous conditions
of approval pertaining to the
preliminary plat will be
acknowledged in future
development of the proposed lots.
All existing public utility easements
including water, sewer, drainage,
gravity and pressurized irrigation
will be maintained as required
with previous approvals.
Primary access for these lots will
be proposed via driveway
connections to Everest Lane which travels north to connect with Chinden Boulevard and continues west through
the existing Lochsa Falls Subdivision. Everest Lane has been constructed and the majority of lots have been
developed in the area.

opportunity in this area. The provision of two commercial lots in an area close to existing transportation

proposed short plat is in compliance with City Code as well as previous approvals.
