RE: Meridian Academy — Rezone Application I TLG PN: 121185
Dear Planning Staff:
We are pleased to present an application for rezone associated with West Ada School District Meridian
Academy. The Land Group, Inc. is pleased to represent the applicant, Joint School District No. 2, DBA West
Ada School District.
Backlaround
The subject parcel is located at 2311 E
Lanark St, which is generally located north
of E Franklin Road and near the future
extension of E Lanark St, which will bisect
the parcel.
The property includes one 12-acre parcel
(51108438405) in the City of Meridian, ADA
County, Idaho.
The site is currently developed as an
alternative high school, baseball field,
district maintenance office, and
undeveloped area. No changes to the
current uses are proposed with this
application. To accommodate the future
extension of E Lanark St. (by others) and
facilitate the future development of a
playfield south of the school building, the
applicant is proposing split zoning of I-L
Zone on the north and C-G Zone on the
south which allows public schools as a
permitted use. The property currently is in
a light industrial (I-L) zone.

Rezone
With the future ACHD E Lanark St extension, the
parcel will be bisected. The applicant is proposing
split zoning is based on the existing sewer and
water alignment which could dictate the future
roadway extension alignment. The parcel is
proposed to be rezoned to C-G on the south side of
future E Lanark St. and remain I-L on the north side
of E Lanark St. The C-G designation is consistent
and compatible with the Comp plan and the existing
C-G zoned properties to the immediate east and
west. Schools are a Permitted Use (building
occupancy type) within the C-G zone.
