DEPARTMENT/ COMMISSION REPORTS [Action Item]
9. Public Works: 2023 Streetlight Master Plan
Simison: So, we will go into Item 9, which is a department report from Public Works on
the 2023 streetlight master plan. Good evening, Laurelei. Or it's still afternoon'ish.
McVey: Thank you, Mayor and Members of the Council. We have a couple of Public
Works topics this evening, so you will be hearing quite a bit from me. Perfect. Thank
you. All right. Well -- oh, do you want to start with streetlights or solid waste? I think
streetlights was first on the agenda. Okay. Perfect. All right. Well, I am really excited
to be here to finally present to you guys the streetlight master plan. So, this has been
years -- and when I say years -- years in the making, the -- we have not had any
formalized documented streetlight plan before this and so this is a really important step
forward for our -- our city and our program. So, I wanted to do a couple of quick
introductions first, because I certainly did not write this plan by myself. I wanted to
introduce you guys -- you all know Warren Stewart. He's the city engineer. He
manages this group, but I wanted to introduce you to Micah. Micah is our transportation
and utility coordinator and so part of Micah's job is streetlights. So, you will hear quite a
bit about Micah's job throughout this presentation, but I really wanted to thank and
acknowledge Micah. He did a lot of the heavy lifting of getting this plan put together and
actually getting us to the state where we have a documented plan. So, as I mentioned,
this is the first formal streetlight master plan that we have ever had. We completed it in
house, which I'm incredibly proud of. Our purpose was to document the program to
really put into place how does the program work today. Look at where do we want to go
in the next few years, establish some goals, establish a five year capital plan with the
current funding mechanisms in place and, then, also document any program constraints
that currently exist in the program. So, a little bit of background I think it's important to
understand how we got to where we are at today. So, streetlights previously were
installed in the city with new development over time without a lot of standardization. So,
Idaho Power also installed some lights back in the early 2000s to do a small program to
enhance safety, but it was never intended to be a full citywide streetlight program. So,
over time this program grew. When Public Works took it over in 2008 we actually -- we
hired the transportation and utility coordinator, whose primary job at that point was utility
coordination. The street lighting duties ended up falling under that position and so in
2010 when we took over this program we had about 3,400 lights in the city. So, we
implemented standards and in 2016 we required that all new lights be LED, so that was
one of the standards that got put in place and you fast forward to today to 2023 and we
have almost 8,600 lights in the city. That's a 155 percent increase over this time. So,
significant program growth. So, what does it look like? I just mentioned we have 8,600
city-owned streetlights. We add about 300 to 500 per year and I will talk about how we
add those to the system. About 44 percent of our system is LED lights today and we
will talk more about our program to convert HPS lights, high pressure sodium lights, to
LED. We also have about 1,700 additional lights needed in our underserved areas and
we will talk more -- a bit more about that as well. Where this program is going -- we
anticipate for full city build out, which is still a long time away, but this program will be
Meridian City Council Work Session
June 13,2023
Page 4 of 20
upwards of 29,000 streetlights in the city once the full city is built out. So, the streetlight
program has five main program elements, which we will go through and talk a little bit
about each. So, the first is public safety. So, the real reason for streetlights is that they
improve and enhance public safety. So, they can do this through a variety of
mechanisms. They improve visibility for pedestrians and cars. They can help deter
crime. They help people feel safe and want to use areas more frequently. They can
even help first responders find areas quicker and shorten response time. So, we did an
overlay working with the Police Department to overlay the 2022 crimes in the city over
areas with deficient lighting and while there is some overlap, you know, there is not a
hundred percent direct correlation, but you can definitely see that areas -- you know,
streetlights can have an influence on public safety and definitely do help deter crime.
So, one of the elements focused on public safety is that in 2024 -- so, this will be the
budget that you guys will see later this week, we are recommending that all of our LED
replacements for FY-24 be focused on the major intersections. So, this was a
recommendation that came out of the Meridian Pedestrian Task Force Safety Group
and we will go through -- it's about 180 lights and upgrade those all to LED lights and so
that was the first recommendation that kind of came out of that committee related to
streetlights. So, how do new lights get added to our system? So, primarily they come
in through development or street projects. So, ITD, ACHD. They come in also through
the city's CDBG or underserved areas. But the majority of them come through new
developments. So, they are paid for by developers. Once they are constructed and the
city takes over we pay for power and we also pay for maintenance and repair costs and,
then, if the streetlights are hit or damage we are, then, also responsible for replacement
of those. As I mentioned, we put in design standards and specifications. So, now all
new lights going into the city meet those specifications. They meet the type, they meet
the spacing and they are all required to be LED. So, that's a huge step forward for us.
So, the -- the basic day-to-day operating of the streetlight program -- so, we have
ongoing annual expenses, so important to remember streetlight funding even though it
comes out of my workgroups, it is funded out of the General Fund. So, we have an
operating budget of about 400,000 dollars per year that goes to electricity, it goes to
maintenance and repair costs, it goes towards paying the deductible on insurance
claims. So, that's our annual operating cost. We do have one staff member that is split
between transportation and utility coordination and streetlight duties. We are currently
doing an hour study to determine, you know, where his time is split and spent to make
sure that we are allocating his hours in the right fund. But he has many other duties
besides just streetlights, but he is responsible for new lighting design if the city takes on
a lighting project. Designing LED retrofits. Serving as a project manager. He reviews
all of the new development plans that come in amongst other -- other things. So, the
general day to day of streetlights. So, we have an outage map. So, if anybody notices
a streetlight that's out they can on our website go to a map, identify the streetlight on a
map and report to us that it is out. You can put your contact information in if you choose
and we will get back with you and let you know when that light is fixed. We also
respond to damaged lights. So, anytime we see that -- well, if somebody hits a light.
So we generally try -- if you know who hits a light through the police department, we will
attempt to recover those costs through insurance. And, then, probably the other biggest
customer issue that we deal with on streetlights is around shielding. So, you may get
Meridian City Council Work Session
June 13,2023
Page 5 of 20
customers that say, you know, this streetlight is too bright, it's shining in my windows.
We have developed industry standard and -- an industry standards of light readings and
we will go out at night to the property line and take measurements and if the light -- we
call it light trespass is higher than our standards then at the city's cost we can
sometimes install shielding. If the light trespass is below the standards, then, we
sometimes offer the residents at their own cost can have us put up shielding. So, you
can't always put up shielding, but it is -- it is an option in some cases and, obviously,
lighting is very subjective of whether it's too bright or -- or not bright enough. So, our
underserved areas -- this is one of our major program components. So, these are areas
that were developed before our standards went into place. So, they are generally the
older areas of town and the streetlights -- there may be too few or they may be too far
apart to meet our current standards. That doesn't necessarily mean that they are -- it's
an imminent problem, but it just means it doesn't meet our current lighting standards.
So, we pay for new lights two ways. Through the city's General Fund annual budget
and, then, through CDBG grant funding. When we go through these areas and try to
determine where to install lights we look at a variety of things, but we prioritize is it close
to schools? Is it on a walking path to school? We look at the data from the Police
Department on traffic accidents, crimes. Are there crosswalks? We also look at
redevelopment potential and ACHD's five year work plan, because if that street or that
area is going to be redeveloped in the near term, the lights will be upgraded to current
standards as part of that. So, it doesn't make sense for us to go in and do it in advance.
So, there is a lot of things that go into us deciding where to put these lights. You will
notice as we break them down by district, primarily they are in the older districts that
developed before street lighting standards went into place. As I mentioned we have
about 1,700 of these identified needs. Currently we fund between 80 and 85 thousand
from the General Fund and our average that we have received every year from CDBG
is about 89,000. New streetlights are expensive, so it's about 9,000 dollars per
streetlight. So, we can install between nine and 18 new lights per year if you combine
the General Fund with the CDBG funding. At that rate it -- we have, you know, pretty
long schedule to get all of those lights replaced, but there are some constraints with
that. It's not just adding budget, we have to have project management resources and --
and the ability to manage those projects as well. So, this is our five year capital
improvement plan. So, there is two primary subdivisions that have been identified.
Both of those subdivisions have either no or very few streetlights and are close to
several schools. So, those kind of jumped up on our priority and you will see this is just
with the city General Fund we will install between six and nine streetlights per year in
those -- in those subdivisions. We also have a plan -- because CDBG funding is less
predictable, we do have a plan and priority for the CDBG areas. Those generally tend
to be near the downtown area. But, again, we use the same prioritization of close to
schools, close to parks, walking routes, and so we have a priority plan in place, too, as
we get CDBG funding to go ahead and -- and work through that plan as well. I guess I
should mention on these maps, the shaded areas -- so, the tan areas are underserved
-- areas that have an underserved lighting need. The blue areas are underserved
lighting needs that are eligible for CDBG. So, our next program element is our high
pressure sodium to LED conversions. So, this is a program that results in long-term
cost savings. So, when you convert these high pressure sodium to LED, a couple of
Meridian City Council Work Session
June 13,2023
Page 6 of 20
ways that you save money. You reduce the wattage. You reduce -- so, they require
less energy. There is less maintenance. They have longer life spans. And so these are
spread out kind of more evenly through the districts, but we also receive energy
efficiency rebates from Idaho Power when we convert these. So, we have about 56
percent of the system left to still convert and we get our funding for this through the
General Fund. Over the next ten years we have budgeted between 75 and a hundred
thousand per year for LED conversions. With that we can convert approximately
200'ish lights and with that that would take us about 20 years to finish the conversions.
This is one area where we do have some capacity to take on additional work if there
was more funding. You know, if we were able to increase the budget from a hundred
thousand to 260,000 we could complete the LED retrofits in about seven years and that
would result in a savings of about a million dollars over the next 20 years. So, it's
definitely a way that we could move this program forward. And, then, additionally, once
the LED conversions are complete we could, then, shift that funding to put it into the
underserved areas to -- to accelerate the conversion -- or the install of lights there. So,
this is our plan for the next five years with LED conversions and you will see this is
much more spread out through the city, but you will see -- the first year in pink is the
major intersections from the task force. So, a couple of things that are, you know,
program constraints for us. So, as the program continues to grow at some point we will
need to add additional staff. Like I said, we are -- this is the first time we have had this
much detail around the program; right? So, we are really able to start tracking some
metrics and tracking workloads and progress and goals. So, we -- you know, some of
our goals for the next five years is to better evaluate staffing and decide, you know,
when is the right time to bring on additional people. One of the things is since this
program has evolved over time over different -- different work groups, the data accuracy
is -- is -- could be improved. One of our goals for the next five years is to put this into
our Public Works asset management tracking system and for public sector. So, we are
currently working on that to get all of the streetlights in -- into that. We are seeing some
improvements in cost supply chain and -- well, I shouldn't say cost. Supply chain and
contractor availability. But these are areas that significantly impacted us over the -- the
period with COVID and really led to a slowdown. We are seeing some of that. Costs
are definitely higher. So, we are able to do less with, you know, flat budgets and that
kind of goes to funding. We are a little bit constrained, right, with -- with resources from
project management, but we do have some -- some area that we could, you know, if
there were available funding we could increase some of the program elements like the
LED replacements. So, like I mentioned, our goals for the next five years is we want to
execute well on this capital improvement plan. We want to improve data accuracy by
putting it in our asset management database. We want to evaluate when is the right
time to bring on more staff, both from a streetlight management program and, then, at
some time it may make sense to also bring in maintenance of -- and -- of -- and
streetlight LED conversions in house. And, then, also just make sure that we are
investigating new technologies and staying up -- up to speed. Technology changes
rapidly on these lights and just making sure that we -- are our standards are up to spec.
We are putting in the best lights that we can and that we are changing them out and
maintaining them with the best lights that we can. So, that is in a nutshell our streetlight
program. Like I said, I think the most important thing that this does is it puts all of the
Meridian City Council Work Session
June 13,2023
Page 7 of 20
program information into one place that didn't exist before. It really outlines what we do,
how we do it and gives us some good goals to work towards that are, you know,
published in alignment with your guys' direction, in alignment with what we can
accomplish and really proud of the staff and the work that it took to get to this level. So,
happy to stand for any questions.
Simison: Thank you, Laurelei. First want to start, you know, when -- when you -- when
you accepted the Public Works job one of the things you talked about was wanting to do
more of this work in-house. So, congratulations to you and the team in helping achieve
that result. You know, that's -- that's -- that's the first -- you know, it's great to see that
taking place. So, with that, Council, questions?
Borton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Borton.
Borton: Just two quick questions. Laurelei, what's an example of a data point that isn't
terribly accurate today that we are -- that we are referring to that could be made more
accurate going forward?
McVey: So, Councilman Borton, we are missing some information on streetlights, such
as, you know, maybe the wattage type or the pole height or are there, you know,
additional -- has there been 5G antennas put on our police cameras, just putting all of
that data into one place and being -- being able to easily query and say we have this
many LEDs, we have this many of this type of pole, we have this many that are this age.
So, it really will help us better with some of that data analysis. So, the data exists. It's
spread out. There is some missing. So, it will really help us putting it into this asset
management database. It will also help us track life cycle cost, too, you know, how
often are we replacing things. What would be the ROI on things? It -- it just -- it really
helps with those things.
Borton: Mr. Mayor. The second question was on the -- the constriction caused by labor.
The labor needs to -- to accelerate the plan. Are there private contractors that do
streetlight conversions that you could contract with theoretically in a short period of time
to accelerate it, rather than on-board new employees?
McVey: Councilman Burton, that's a -- that's a great question and that's -- that's kind of
what we tried the last couple of years, right, with the accelerated budgets. So, the
answer to your question, yes, there are consultants that would happily take on some of
the design of these projects. Where we run into labor constraints is the project
management and their getting it through some of the city's internal processes. So, you
still have to have staff that get it through the Purchasing Department and out to bid and
manage the invoices that come in and process those through the Finance Department
and do, you know, inspections and enter it into the asset management program and so
that's where some of the -- so, the design piece can absolutely be done outsourced, but
that's where we -- we kind of struggled with -- we took on more than we could get done
Meridian City Council Work Session
June 13,2023
Page 8 of 20
and where we had the backlog of -- of funding and the carry forward, which I'm happy to
announce we will have the majority of that spent by the end of this fiscal year. It's all in
design or currently in bid or construction.
Simison: And if I can just add onto that and you can slap me if I get this wrong, but from
my conversations it's -- it's twofold. We currently have the low bit contractor and they
have limited ability to do the work. So, the next contractor is going to cost more money
than the ones we are, which reduces our ROI, as well as, secondarily, if we bring on
another staff member, then, our ROI also dissipates. So, there is that fine -- I don't -- I
don't know where the line -- that's why I think that they are trying to figure out where is
that line where it makes sense to accelerate where you are not losing your benefit of
doing them faster, as compared to waiting until the natural change over for at least for
the LED conversion component. That's -- that's where some of this -- but we also have
power costs going up and I think that there was a factor that you did include some
anticipated power increases in the -- the numbers; correct?
McVey: Yes. Yeah. And so the Mayor's spot on. We -- you know, we feel like we need
to continue to each year run the ROI on this and say where are our power costs, where
are our contracted labor costs, where are our internal costs and -- and where does that
-- and there is really the two parts which he mentioned. There is the LED conversions,
which is a little bit different than the actual install of new streetlights. Those take kind of
two different things to manage and one is a little bit easier, that's why we can do, you
know, 192 LED conversions, where we -- installing new lights you have to do complete
design and utility work and design of the infrastructure and so it takes -- to have a staff
member do that internally definitely takes more -- more work.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Thanks, Laurelie. Well, first of all thank you to Micah, Warren and -- and
yourself and the whole team for putting the report together. I really appreciated reading
the report. I did have some questions. You know, one thing I -- I was struck by -- we
had 3,000 lights with the same staffing level that we have today where we have almost
three times as many lights now. What percentage of staff time is being spent on, you
know, managing the existing inventory of lights -- let's say LED conversions if they were
on that seven-year schedule, which we had funded previously, compared to installing
new lights, if you were to take a guess?
McVey: Well -- so, Council Woman Strader, that's a great point and we actually are in
the middle of doing a more detailed hour study analysis. I think Micah has one -- one,
maybe two months of that under his belt. So, I don't know if he could give estimates of
the past couple of months. I know on a high level the very first month it was a 50-50
split between his transportation coordination duties and streetlight duties. To further
break down the streetlight duties, though, I don't have that off the top of my head, but
we -- our plan was to do that for at least six months for a couple of reasons. One to
Meridian City Council Work Session
June 13,2023
Page 9 of 20
help analyze staff data and, then, two, to also make sure that we are funding this
position out of the right fund source.
Strader: Uh-huh. Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: I have a few. So, I noticed that in the CFP that that position got moved from
2024 to 2025. So, as part of my review of the budget I have been reviewing all changes
to the CFP. But from reading the report it was glaringly obvious to me that there is a
need for additional staffing. It doesn't appear like it's up for debate. Maybe it's up for
debate whether it should come out of, you know, more -- maybe the position it should
come more out of the Enterprise Fund versus General Fund or -- or percentages spent
on different activities, but, you know, three times as many lights and a hundred -- a
hundred year time frame at the current rate to install new lights, I just want to make a
comment, it's not on a question to you, it's just a comment. I think when it comes to the
budget time we need to have a serious discussion about that staffing need. I wanted to
ask about where do we go with looking into creating a utility for this, because I -- I recall
at one point there was an idea -- and I think other cities have done this -- to create a
utility to manage our streetlights. What barriers did you come across? Where did that
discussion go?
McVey: Councilman Strader, that's a good question. So, we will likely continue to
evaluate that. There -- originally when this first was evaluated there was some case law
in Idaho that was potentially problematic with a streetlight utility. It's a little bit harder to
assign a specific value. So, that's -- you know, if you are going to -- if it's going to be
utility you have to be able to assign a specific value to an individual person or property.
Since, then, there has been some -- some changes in that and so I think it would be
worthwhile to work with the Legal Department and the Finance Department to kind of
look at that evaluation again and see is -- is that something that is -- is legal, is it --
would it be challenged? Would it be easy to implement? But currently based on our our previous -- the previous work by the Legal Department and Finance Department it
was not recommended that we pursue that.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: I just have two more. What other cities do use that approach that you are
aware of?
McVey: So, I believe right now the city of Caldwell and Coeur d'Alene are the two that
have active streetlight utilities.
Strader: And this -- this kind of reminds me of using CDBG funding for affordable
housing, where it feels like at first blush there is a lot of hurdles, maybe legally, but this

is something that would make sense to dig into. So, I would encourage us to do that.
And, then, I just had one more question. Something that kind of just jumped out to me
out of the report, just as a little random, but like a -- was there a safety concern around
5G equipment being installed in streetlights and -- and can you help me understand
that? Because, obviously, for the general population we have heard there is not a 5G
safety concern, but for workers there could be. Could you explain that, please?
McVey: Yes, Council Woman Strader. So, it has more to do with the -- you know, the
electrical -- so, in order to work on our streetlight we would have to disconnect, right, to
safely work on the -- the electrical system -- disconnect that system before we went up
and worked on our system and so there is some coordination that has to occur and
some interagency agreements, right, so that we are not sending our contractor out to
just, you know, flip the switch and turn off the 5G. So, not necessarily a -- a safety
hazard because of the 5G, but a safety hazard in working on that equipment in that
proximity you would need to turn off both sources of -- of power.
Strader: Would it -- would it be fair to say that the most efficient way to go about this
would be to first convert all of our lights to LEDs and, then, to install the 5G equipment,
as opposed to, yeah, having it installed kind of in a haphazard way?
McVey: Council Woman Strader, it -- it wouldn't really matter too much, because either
LED or HPS we would still have to -- have to turn the power off to -- to work on the light,
so not necessarily a -- a benefit there.
Strader: Okay. Thank you.
Simison: Council, any additional questions?
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Just one additional question. Laurelie, your -- your conversation and
comments about light pollution or request from residents, how many of those is your
team fielding a year? Is it a few a month, dozen over the course of a year, fairly
infrequent? I'm just curious.
Simison: Micah, do you want to come and get on the microphone.
McVey: He thought he was going to get away without having to --
Bandurraga: So, wintertime we were averaging about eight to ten calls a week for light
shielding. Summertime doesn't seem to be that big of an issue. People are usually in
bed by the time it's dark and we get less complaints. Out of all of the calls, every --
every test that I have taken on -- at every property line I have only had one that qualified
to add -- to add a light shield in at the city's expense.
Meridian City Council Work Session

Cavener: Mr. Mayor, just a real quick follow up.
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Do we get requests from residents to remove or relocate lights or is it mostly
just for shielding?
Bandurraga: It's mostly for shielding. One of the stipulations for the shielding is if the
light was there before the house was there it's not really the city's responsibility to shield
it.
Cavener: Okay. Fair enough.
McVey: So, that is a -- you know, one of the -- the pros and cons you weigh, right, with
adding more streetlights in the underserved areas is that those residents are very used
to not having those lights in their yards or on their streets. There is definite benefits that
come with those that we feel like outweigh and are -- are important. But some of that
initial outreach and now there is a new streetlight and it -- it's not something you are --
you are used to is definitely something we hear about when we install some of these
lights into new areas.
Simison: Any additional questions? All right. Thank you very much.
10. Public Works: 2023 Solid Waste Master Plan
Simison: So, with that we will move on to Item 10, which is Public Works 2023 Solid
Waste Master Plan. And for the record Council Woman Perreault did join us at roughly
4.35, 1 believe.
McVey: Okay. Well, thank you, Council. This is our other master plan that we have
also been working on years -- years in the making and it just conveniently happened
that I could present them both to you tonight. So, this one is for our solid waste
program. So, that is trash and recycling services in the city. This is also the first time
this information has been documented and captured in one place. Another huge step
forward for the city. It's really hard to improve on a program if you don't have what's
happening in place and you don't have clearly established goals and priorities. So, also
really proud of this. So, again, a couple of staff introductions. I know that you guys
know some of these people. But the group that is responsible for solid waste
coordination in the city -- so, Alex Freitag, he is our business division manager. Peter
Hall is our business program manager. And Sayard Schultz is our solid waste
coordinator. And a lot of credit on this one goes to Sayard, who worked tirelessly over
the last couple of years to get this information documented and really no small feat,
similar to what Micah did on the streetlight, is a lot of this information existed in a lot of
people's heads or a lot of documents and to pull it all together into one place was a
really big effort and huge kudos to those -- those staff members. So, this is, as I said,
our first formal solid waste master plan. Also really proud that we completed it in house.
Meridian City Council Work Session
June 13,2023
Page 12 of 20
Again our purpose was to document the current conditions of the program. So, how
does trash and recycling work today in Meridian? What's offered? How much does it
cost? How many people participate? And, then, identify key program issues. So -- so,
what -- what are the problems we see facing these programs over the next several
years. And, then, establish program goals of how do we work towards solving some of
those issues. So, the key issues that we identified were, number one, preserving landfill
capacity and we will talk about each of these. The other one is making sure are we
providing comprehensive service options to all residents and all businesses. We have a
variety of residents and business types. And, then, as we consider making any changes
to these programs we want to make sure our rates stay affordable and competitive,
because that is a -- is another concern. So, preserving landfill capacity. So, Meridian
takes all of its solid waste to the Ada County Landfill and they have recalculated some
of their landfill capacity schedules and it is estimated that the Ada County Landfill in its
current configuration will fill up sometime between 2065 and 2070. We don't have really
specific data on -- on how that -- how quickly that will fill up, but the cells are definitely
filling up quicker than they used to and so siting and finding a new landfill is incredibly
expensive and so we really need to start working on evaluating options now as we look
out towards that 2070 time frame. So, to -- to site and build a new landfill is about 60
million dollars. Just one stage of the landfill. So, they build landfills in stages and they
will fill it up until that one cell gets to capacity and, then, they cover it and they cap it and
move to the next stage. Meridian uses on average about 25 to 30 percent of an active
stage in the landfill and so how do you extend the life of a landfill? Well, you divert
more from it. So, there is different ways that you can do that. If you look at what we
divert today -- so our annual average is somewhere between eight and nine percent
diversion rate. We have set -- and we will talk more about this -- a diversion goal of
getting up to 20 percent by 2028. So, the reason we picked 20 percent is that we have
seen in the fall when we do coordinated leaf drop-offs and curbside pickups we can get
over that 20 percent diversion rate. So, it is possible. And we can talk a little bit more
about different ways that we can get there. So, our second issue is identifying all areas,
all different types of residents. We have single family residents. We have people that
live in multi-family dwellings. Apartments. We have businesses. And are we providing
all of the trash and recycling services that those residents and businesses desire? And
are we providing them in a way that's easy, accessible, affordable for all of those
different sections of our community. So, that's one of the things we will also look at. So,
if you look at where we are at today as far as participation rates -- and I know this slide
is a little bit busy, but we have nearly a hundred percent participation rate for our single
family housing in our recycling program and you may ask, well, that's really great, you
guys are doing a great job there. Well, we can take credit for that, but it's also because
it's required when they sign up. You get signed up for both services. So, it may not
mean that all of those residents are participating in recycling though. So, that's an area
that we would like to evaluate. Our commercial businesses have a lower participation
rate around, the -- the 40 to 50 percent and so while recycling is also required, we don't
necessarily enforce that requirement, because it's not always easy to retrofit existing
business spaces to have both types of containers and some businesses don't
necessarily have recyclable material. So, those are some things that we could definitely
look into. We have two curbside programs. They cost -- you will see the cost there.
Meridian City Council Work Session
June 13,2023
Page 13 of 20
We have a glass curbside recycling and we have a grass curbside recycling. Those sit
at pretty low participation rates and so one thing that we would like to dig into over the
next five years is, you know, why -- why are those participation rates where they are? Is
it the cost barrier? Is it -- are we not promoting them enough? Do people know about
them? Is the frequency a problem? Is what acceptable materials that you put into it the
problem? Because to us it shows, you know, something for these optional add-on
programs we don't have a huge participation. So -- so, why is that? It -- you know, it
kind of feeds into -- if you look at something like a citywide composting program and you
make it -- you know, do you make it a voluntary program? Do you make it a required
program? What kind of participation would you get? And what -- what would that cost
people to do that either way. So, those are the things that we would like to look at, but
-- over the next five years. The underlying piece, though, is any of these changes we
really need to make sure that our rates may remain affordable and comparable.
Currently they are -- they are spot on with the -- the valley average for rates. So, our
five year program goals -- we have set two. One being we want to try to achieve a
consistent 20 percent diversion rate by 2028 and we also want to make sure that we are
providing access to all services that residents desire and are willing to pay for. You will
see in this chart here -- so, this is our waste profile and if you look at where -- where can
you achieve more diversion from? You know, we have a pretty equal split between
residential trash and commercial trash. So, those are the two sectors that we could
really start looking at diversion. So, we put together a five year program plan. It has
three areas that will help us work towards these goals. So, the first one is landfill
diversion initiative. So, the first thing we would like to do is work on improving our
existing program. So, before we add new programs let's figure out why people are or
aren't participating in our existing programs and see if we can up some of those through
outreach, through cost analysis. We also want to do a full evaluation on citywide
composting. So, what would that look like if it was a opt-in program? What would that
look like if it was an everybody participates? What would be the cost of those? What
are the pros and cons? How much diversion could we achieve if we did something like
that? We would also like to look at, you know, improving diversion opportunities for
multi-family dwellings. So, currently these -- you know, people can always take things
to Republic trans -- Republic Services Transfer Station, but can we make things more
accessible or easy? One area where we have seen a large increase in material is the
construction and demolition waste. So, is there incentives or ways that we can keep
some of that material out of the landfill? One of the things that we are really excited
about -- Republic Services is working on a new recycling facility in Las Vegas that will
really change, hopefully, the recycling market in the U.S. and allow us to bring back
some of the things that are harder to recycle today. So, we are really looking forward to
when they get that operational and I think it's really going to be a game changer for the
valley as far as what we can recycle and, hopefully, simplify some -- some of the rules
around recycling. So, one of the other things is -- is evaluating how we do education
and outreach. So, are we using the right methods to -- to get out to people? Do people
prefer print? Do people look at what's in their utility bills? Do people look at social
media? Are there other ways? Do we need to do radio, you know, ads? There is so
many different ways. And are we providing the right information that people want to
know about? You know, one of the things we are hoping to develop is a container right
Meridian City Council Work Session
June 13,2023
Page 14 of 20
sizing. So, a customer could go on and say here is how much -- you know, is your trash
can generally half full each week? Well, did you know you can downsize to a smaller
container and save money each month? Or if you sign up for a grass cart could you
sign up for a smaller trash cart and would that cost offset each other? So, you know,
providing different outreach opportunities and different venues, so that we reach as
much as the -- of the community as possible. Also I think it's always good to look in at
yourself and look at what the city is doing. So, a couple of things we want to do is
review and update our ordinances. Those were last looked at in 2010. You know, if we
were to bring back big programmatic changes those would have to be updated in there
anyways. We also would like to promote diversion opportunities at city events and
throughout city departments. And, then, one of the things that's kind of exciting is we
are currently evaluating our biosolids drying. So, our biosolids make up about ten
percent of the tonnage going to the landfill and this project would help us eliminate that
by -- or not eliminate it, but cut that by about half. So, we are currently in evaluation of
-- of if that makes sense to put in a biosolids dryer. So, we are really excited, like I
mentioned, to have this information documented, to have these goals established to
have something to work towards. You know, having these concrete -- the five year
goals, we can come back to you and report, you know, when you ask how -- how are
things going, we will have actual matrix that we can come back and tell you are we
achieving them, what more do we need to do? But mostly just really -- really thrilled to
have this documented and complete and I'm happy to stand for any questions.
Simison: Thank you, Laurelie. Council, questions?
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Thank you. Thank you so much to the team for working on this. I really
enjoyed reviewing the plan. My main question -- well, first a comment. I agreed with
the plan, that there is an opportunity, even before evaluating composting, just expanding
the grass clippings and leaves to all kind of yard clippings, branches, et cetera. That
just feels like low hanging fruit. It's a huge barrier, even for me. It's like I regularly put
all kinds of branches and nasty things like that that really shouldn't go in the trash, they
can easily be composted. So, I appreciated that comment. I also really appreciated the
outreach and thought around multi-family and helping expand recycling -- obviously,
with an eye toward worrying about contamination, because it's been a huge issue. So, I
don't know how you guys are going to think through that. But my main question is
around composting and just understanding the timing and the milestones in order to do
that in the right way. I saw some talk of a survey, some indicated timing, but could you
kind of walk us through what are the steps that we would need to go through to evaluate
that program and what is the time frame that we think is realistic for evaluating and
potentially implementation?
McVey: Council Woman Strader, so great question. So, we would like to take the next
year or two -- so, it's -- it's twofold. One, we would have to work with Republic Services
Meridian City Council Work Session
June 13,2023
Page 15 of 20
and Timber Creek Recycling on, you know, essentially establishing those -- those rate
structures and establishing are there certain matrix if -- you know, if we have 10,000
people sign up would it cost this much. If we had 40,000 people sign up would it costs
this much. And, then, also look at the -- what would it cost if we just spread that across
everybody and it was an everybody participates. And so we hope to have that analysis
done over the next year. And, then, you know, if the city chose to move forward with
some sort of program it would -- you know, we would need probably at least another
year to develop outreach work with our vendors on carts, because you would have to
have different types of carts and make sure that they have the infrastructure in place to
-- the trucks and the staff to accommodate that. So, it's probably realistically a couple of
year process to get there. But I do think, to your point, we have some things we can do
in the interim to make our -- maybe our current program more robust and more
accessible.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Just a quick comment. I mean it seems obvious, but besides, you know, there
is a little binary of opt in versus everyone participates. There is also making it the
default; right? That's always an option where when you move here the default setting is
you get, you know, a composting cart for your organic materials, you get your recycling
and get your trash and, then, people can opt out of that. So, there is a third way. So, I
-- I just think it's good for us to keep that in mind as well.
Perreault: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: Thank you. I love the 20 percent goal. That's awesome and I'm excited to
see that. I -- I hope that's a message that we can get out really regularly in a variety of
media. So, I wanted to ask a question specifically about the recycling participation that
was on the slide. It seemed like the participation rate was really high. What -- what
constitutes participation? Is that there is something in the recycling bin when they pick it
up? Is it like there -- there is participation and there is really the quality participation?
Like half of those could really be -- you know, be mixed and, then, I assume they just
toss all of it when they -- because they are not going to spend that time to separate it.
So, can you --
McVey: Council Woman Perreault, good question. So, twofold to that. So, there is --
so, that participation rate is simply the number of households that have a recycling cart.
So, it doesn't necessarily truly represent 90, you know, eight percent participation. So,
two ways that, you know, we can kind of measure that is -- so, the -- it's called the set
out rate. So, how -- and Republic Services tracks that. So, how frequently do all the
carts get set out and I believe there is somewhere close to 70 percent on that. So, that
shows you that, you know, probably out of that 95 percent at least 70 percent are
Meridian City Council Work Session
June 13,2023
Page 16 of 20
regularly participating. As far as the -- the contamination issue of should they -- did they
put the right things in there. We do have a relatively low contamination rate -- or at least
it's, you know, on par with -- with industry average, so -- because that's another really
important piece of messaging, because that can make you throw out the whole cart and
-- and takes time and resources to -- to pull and separate that back out. So, another
important education piece.
Perreault: Mr. Mayor, a follow up?
Simison: Council Woman Perreault.
Perreault: Seventy percent to me is very successful, if we are having that many set out.
So, I'm happy to hear that. I think the city has done it -- and Republic Services has
done a really great job of making it clear what goes in that cart. It -- when I first moved
out here it was not clear at all and, then, you know, there has been a long effort in that.
So, my next question is as we -- we see residential structures getting smaller, garages
getting smaller, alley loads, things like that, people have less space to have carts in their
home. So, how do we address some of those logistical issues?
McVey: So, Council Woman Perreault, that's -- that's a good question and it's one of
the constraints that we -- we face, right, with new development as it comes in is making
sure there is enough space for those carts. You know, hopefully, some of that is -- is
getting the right -- the container right sizing. So, we could do that program for both
businesses and residents of, you know, let's make sure you have the cart that's the
smallest possible; right? So, it's easier to store. It's -- you are not paying for more than
you need and it -- it can be cumbersome, right, having the multiple carts and places to
put them. So, it's definitely something that we -- we consider.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Laurelie, good presentation. Appreciate the work you guys have done on this
as well. The recycling center in Vegas, is this going to be primarily in -- in plastics and
helping get -- be able to use more plastics that can be thrown into the recycling stream,
as opposed to being strictly thrown away?
McVey: So, Councilman Hoaglun, I'm actually going to bring -- if -- if Republic Services
doesn't mind, because I don't want to misspeak to their facility. I knew there was a
reason they came also.
Bennett: So, Bob Bennett, Republic Services. 11101 West Executive Drive. So,
Councilman Hoaglun, yes, plastics. So, the concept is today we are challenged in the
types of plastics that we can take and so what we are building is a center that we are
going to ship our plastics to. They can take all members. We are actually going to
clean them, ship them, put them in bollard bags and sell directly to manufacturers,
Meridian City Council Work Session
June 13,2023
Page 17 of 20
cutting out brokers, some of these extra facilities and the financials of it, what I have
seen, will be very positive for not just the city, but kind of the greater environment and
being able to accept more plastics and that will pull a lot of this waste out of the waste
stream.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor? But, Bob, real quick question. When do you anticipate that
coming online?
Bennett: So, it's online now. It's about when they can start accepting more plastics
from us. They are, obviously, starting in Vegas, but we are already working with
Western on how we start putting stuff on rail and bailing it and railing it down there. We
are working on that -- those matrix as we speak.
Hoaglun: Thank you. Appreciate it.
Cavener: Well, I think Councilman Cavener can speak to some of the cheap air fares in
case we are going to do it that way, too.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: And just one more question. You know, I -- what I appreciate -- first a
comment. What I appreciate about our rate structure is that we are rewarding people
for generating less waste and I really think that is the direction we need to go ultimately.
Just maybe planting a seed around -- if there has been a thought -- you know, it's pretty
rare, but there is a trend, a small trend, for people adopting more of a zero waste
lifestyle. I think we are seeing it with younger folks. It is not realistic for the vast
majority of families, but there are people that are trying to generate less waste and
particularly seniors I think are able to do that as well pretty effectively and different
groups of people. Has there been a thought around having like an ultra low waste
option or, you know, in addition to having the smaller car, maybe like a less frequent
pickup option for people? That was just kind of a -- a thought I had.
McVey: So, Council Woman Strader, I -- I don't believe that we have that currently, but I
think that's a great thing we could include in our rate structure.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: A follow-up again for comment, Laurelie, I -- I think, one, your trash to
treasure program is -- is a great one. I -- I like -- I think you are doing that -- that
reduction and reuse is a great idea. Mixed yard waste, been mentioned already. You
know, because our -- our yard -- we are in the same situation where we -- we compost
our grass. We put it back into the lawn. It's full of nitrogen. It works well. But, then,
Meridian City Council Work Session
June 13,2023
Page 18 of 20
there is the rest of the waste that comes -- tree limbs and whatnot. So, having that
ability to put that out is I think huge. I think the potential -- I think Council Woman
Strader mentioned that, that there is -- there is a big opportunity there just to -- to go to
that expanded yard waste, as opposed to just grass clipping. So, keep pursuing that
one.
Simison: Council, any additional questions? Okay. All right. Thank you very much.

GREATER ADA COUNTY
POLICE, FIRE, & EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE AGENCIES
JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
REGARDING ACTIVE SHOOTER & HOSTILE EVENT RESPONSE
WHEREAS, the safety and health of the citizens of the Greater Ada County is of concern to
the elected officials of the State of Idaho,the County of Ada,and the cities and fire protection districts
of Boise, Meridian, Garden City, Eagle, Kuna, Star, and Middleton (herein collectively known as the
"parties"), and
WHEREAS, the duty to respond to emergency threats regarding the health and safety of the

response is vital to public safety, especially in crowded urban areas, and
WHEREAS, the Chiefs of Ada County Paramedics, fire departments, and fire districts all
recognize that paramedics, EMTs, firefighters, and first responders have a vital role in assisting the
public during an active shooter or hostile event to prevent the loss of life by assisting those who are
injured, and
WHEREAS, in some instances an immediate response to an active shooter or hostile event
may require agency first responders from a combination of agencies to cooperate to enter the
incident scene, and
WHEREAS,the parties to this agreement desire to reduce the likelihood that an active shooter
or hostile event occurs that injures a member of the public, an officer, a deputy, a trooper, a
paramedic, an EMT, a firefighter or any other first responder, and
WHEREAS, the parties are public agencies as defined and authorized by Idaho Code §§ 67-

ADA COUNTY JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT RE:ACTIVE SHOOTER EVENT Page 1 of 14
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreement hereinafter contained and the
recitals set forth above, the parties to this agreement do hereby understand and agree as follows:
1. PURPOSE
The primary purpose of this agreement is to provide better safety for the citizens of Ada County by
ensuring there is a coordinated response to active shooter or other hostile events that may occur in
our area, to which all of the parties likely will have to respond to and provide services. The purpose
of the ASHER (Active Shooter Hostile Event Response) program is to ensure the highest level of safety
for all residents,visitors and first responders in Ada County during any active shooter or hostile event.
The parties agree that the development and implementation of the parties' ASHER PLAN is a
collaborative effort that will require each agency's administration and subject matter experts to confer
on a regular basis and ensure plan metrics and training requirements are continuously evaluated and
being met so that agency personnel are standing ready to fully respond to an active shooter or other
hostile event.
To that end,the parties shall appoint a steering committee as defined herein with the purpose of coming
to a consensus on the best practices during an active shooter or hostile event and create an"Ada County
Unified Concept of Operations for Active Shooter and Hostile Events Response Document"(herein
ASHER PLAN).The parties'ASHER PLAN will be an organized and structured response plan that outlines
roles and responsibilities of responding agencies regardless of the size and type of the incident.
In addition to preparing a plan that all parties agree on, the other primary goal of this agreement is to
ensure the parties and their respective staff members are being trained and prepared to respond to an
active shooter or hostile event and that each agency head is committed to providing continued and
dedicated resources to meet the needed level of preparedness.
2. ASHER STEERING COMMITTEE
Pursuant to Idaho Code § 67-2328(d), and to ensure the success of the parties' agreement, the parties
agree that a joint board known as the "ASHER Steering Committee" shall be formed. Additionally, the
Steering Committee shall comply with Idaho Code Title 74, Chapter 2 as required.
a. DESIGN: The steering committee shall include at least one person from each participating
agency as a member. The parties agree that each agency's executive officer may appoint one member
to participate in the Steering Committee and that such person shall serve on the committee at the
pleasure of the agency executive until replaced. The ASHER Steering Committee, as a joint board
representing the parties, shall be responsible for administering the joint undertaking of the parties as it
relates to the goals and objectives of the parties'ASHER PLAN. At the first official meeting of the Steering
Committee the members present shall nominate and elect a chairperson for the Steering
Committee who shall serve as chairperson until replaced by motion and majority vote of the Steering
Committee. Once formed, the Steering Committee may propose amendments or changes to this
agreement to the parties for consideration. The Steering Committee may create and amend the
ASHER PLAN document at any time a simple majority of the steering committee agrees such
change is necessary. The Steering Committee shall meet at a minimum of once per quarter.
Further meetings shall be subject to the call of the chairperson as needed.
ADA COUNTY JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT RE:ACTIVE SHOOTER EVENT Page 2 of 14
3. DESIGN OF ADA COUNTY ASHER RESPONSE
The parties recognize and agree that an active shooter or hostile event is extremely time sensitive and
requires an immediate response. To address the needs of such an event in Ada County, the parties
shall develop an ASHER PLAN with a response model that continues the primary goal of "stopping
the killing", but also addresses the medical goal to "stop the dying" and the need for rapid casualty
evacuation. The parties ASHER PLAN shall include a Rescue Task Force (RTF) model which can be
applied to a variety of incidents that require a dedicated security element to escort Fire and EMS into
zones of an active threat event. Such events could include civil unrest, riots, active shooter events,
terrorist attacks, or small-scale scenes of violence.
4. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE FOR INCIDENT COMMAND
Because the parties recognize that time is of the essence in an ASHER PLAN, the parties agree that
Command and Control of the incident, regardless of location should be established as soon as
possible to assist with operational control and resource allocation. Authority over the situation shall
be established by the first law enforcement agency to respond to the event and such agency shall
remain in control until officially relieved by the proper jurisdictional authority. Command and control
will follow the parties' respective joint training to ensure command is quickly established and that a
unified command structure between the parties is followed. Once command has been established,
steps to create a unified command between Law Enforcement, Fire, and EMS should be a priority.
5. TRAINING AND EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
The parties agree that each agency shall commit to providing personnel with the appropriate
equipment for ASHER related events. Additionally, the parties agree that each agency shall work to
develop a collaborative model of training that is consistent with the ASHER PLAN document. The
ASHER Steering Committee will develop a training plan that at a minimum consists of initial
familiarization training and small-scale department training. The ASHER Steering Committee will also
work to provide large scale trainings involving multiple agencies when feasible as well as yearly
refresher trainings. The parties shall provide the appropriate and available resources to assist
partnering agencies with ongoing training, exercising, and drilling.
ASHER training shall consist of the following:
a) Familiarization/concepts-based classroom training;
b) Small-scale department specific movement/scenario-based Rescue Task Force training in
partnership with Fire, EMS and Dispatch;
c) Large Scale exercises;
d) Yearly refresher training; and
e) Command and control training.
In rendering assistance to each other for training or during a response to an ASHER event, each party
shall be responsible for the provisions and maintenance of its own equipment, materials,and supplies,
except in cases of emergency wherein it appears to the parties' employees immediately involved that
the sharing or use of equipment or furnished by another party or parties is necessary or proper.
ADA COUNTY JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT RE:ACTIVE SHOOTER EVENT Page 3 of 14
6. REPORTS AND INFORMATION SHARING
During an ASHER event, and after its conclusion, information will be freely shared among the parties
with the understanding that all investigative information will be kept strictly confidential and will only
be used in furtherance of criminal investigations. Except as noted below, no information gathered
during the course of the event, to include any informal communications between the parties will be
disseminated to any non-law enforcement third party or any non-party to this agreement without
the express permission of the agency with jurisdictional authority over the incident.
6a. PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS
Any public requests for access to the records or any disclosures of information obtained by the parties
during or after an event will be handled in accordance with applicable rules of criminal procedure,
statutes, regulations, and policies pursuant to the Idaho Public Records Act, any state-specific rules
of criminal procedure, and any other applicable federal and/or state statutes and regulations. It is
understood among the parties that any public records request for information regarding an event
will first be sent to the jurisdiction responsible for the investigation to answer. If that agency declines
to, or otherwise cannot, respond to the public records request made, the requester can seek such
information from any other party,who will release or deny information in accordance with Idaho state
law.
6b. AFTER ACTION REPORTS
Once an ASHER incident has occurred, and after any investigation into the matter has been
completed, the ASHER Steering Committee will prepare a confidential After-Action Report that will
detail the incident and include a description of at least the following: any challenges, successes,
needed changes or solutions relative to the incident repose in relation to the ASHER PLAN and this
agreement. The After Action Report shall be circulated to all of the agency executives for their
consideration. Depending on the event, the parties may invite the Steering Committee to present
such report in person.
7. PERSONNEL AND RESOURCES
The parties understand and agree that this agreement does not transfer the employ of any involved
personnel from their agency to another agency, nor is any agency required to provide training or
equipment to any employee that is not their own.
In the event of a complaint against an assigned officer or employee of any party, the complaint shall
be forwarded to that participating agency for investigation and resolution of the complaint.
Any issue that arises between any employee of any party that creates a risk will be dealt with by the
incident commander during the event, while in a unified command structure, or shall be addressed
with the agency head after the incident has been concluded and operations have returned to normal.
8. LIABILITY
Each party to this Agreement will be responsible for the acts and/or omissions of the party's own
employees, officers, or agents in the performance of this Agreement. No party will be considered the
ADA COUNTY JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT RE:ACTIVE SHOOTER EVENT Page 4 of 14
agent of any other party and no party assumes any responsibility or liability to any other party for
the consequences of any act and/or omission of another party's employee, officer, or agent.
Additionally, pursuant to Idaho Code § 67-2337, any liability arising from the acts of peace officers of
any parties herein shall remain the responsibility of the employing agency, regardless of the
jurisdiction in which the act occurs.
9. FINANCING
There shall be no joint financing of activities under this agreement, however each party may
contribute to expenses for items such as training or equipment as agreed by the parties. Each party
shall independently budget for expected expenses related to this agreement. Provided further that
nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as obligating any party to incur any indebtedness or
liability, in any manner, or for any purpose, which exceeds the income and revenue provided for a
party in any party's fiscal year. The failure of a party to appropriate funds, or the absence of any
allocation of funds, shall not impose liability on a party.
10. OTHER TERMS

agreement remains effective until the agreement is terminated following the process stated herein
or is superseded by subsequent agreement.
MODIFICATION AND AMENDMENTS. No amendment or modification to this agreement shall be

after the date of the Findings or it is null and void.
7. DEFAULT/CONSENT TO DE-ANNEXATION AND REVERSAL OF ZONING
DESIGNATION:
7.1 Acts of Default. In the event Owner/Developer, or Owner's Developer's heirs,
successors, assigns, or subsequent owners of the Property or any other person
acquiring an interest in the Property fail to faithfully comply with all of the terms
and conditions included in this Agreement in connection with the Property, this
Agreement may be terminated by the City upon compliance with the requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance.
7.2 Notice and Cure Period. In the event of Owner/Developer's default of this
agreement, Owner/Developer shall have thirty(30) days from receipt of written
notice from City to initiate commencement of action to correct the breach and cure
the default, which actions must be prosecuted with diligence and completed within
one hundred eighty(180) days; provided, however, that in the case of any such
default that cannot with diligence be cured within such one hundred eighty(180)
day period, then the time allowed to cure such failure may be extended for such
period as may be necessary to complete the curing of the same with diligence and
continuity.
7.3 Remedies. In the event of default by Owner/Developer that is not cured after notice
from City as described in Section 7.2, City shall, upon satisfaction of the notice and
hearing procedures set forth in Idaho Code § 67-6511A, have the right, but not a
duty, to de-annex all or a portion of the Property, reverse the zoning designations
described herein, and terminate City services to the de-annexed Property, including
water service and/or sewer service. Further, City shall have the right to file an
action at law or in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement. Because the
covenants, agreements, conditions, and obligations contained herein are unique to
the Property and integral to the City's decision to annex and/or re-zone the
Property, City and Owner/Developer stipulate that specific performance is an
appropriate, but not exclusive, remedy in the event of default. Owner/Developer
reserves all rights to contest whether a default has occurred.

time for such performance shall be extended by the amount of time of such delay.
7.6 Waiver. A waiver by City of any default by Owner/Developer of any one or more
of the covenants or conditions hereof shall apply solely to the default and defaults
waived and shall neither bar any other rights or remedies of City nor apply to any

Development Agreement Modification(MDA)to amend the existing agreement(DA Inst.
4104027941)to remove the subject property from this agreement for the purpose of allowing the
property to develop consistent with the allowed uses in the existing C-G zoning district. Currently,
the recorded DA requires conditional use permit approval for all future uses prior to development on
the property.
NOTE: City Council approved the subject MDA on January 3'. After the hearing,it was discovered
that this property did not include the entire boundary of the property that was part of the original DA.
Staff met with the applicant to discuss all of the options. Both staff and the applicant agreed that the
best course of action was to update the staff report and renotice/reschedule the project. Staff has
prepared Findings in the affirmative for Council's approval since the project did not have any public
testimony or Council discussion during the previous hearing.

IL SUMMARY OF REPORT
A. Applicant:
Richard Wilmot—3130 W. State Street,Boise,ID 83703
B. Owner: Mauricio and Ilene Garcia—4863 N. Larkwood Place, Meridian,ID 83646
C. Representative:
Same as Applicant
III. STAFF ANALYSIS
The Applicant proposes to amend the Cortabitarte Development Agreement (Inst. 4104027941) to
remove the subject property from the existing development agreement. When this property was
originally annexed it included the I-L property directly south of the subject property. Since the applicant
wasn't able to obtain the property owner's consent to amend the terms of the original DA,a new DA is
being requested so the property can develop consistent with the C-G zoning district without the need
of obtaining CUP approval for every use. Below is the legal description and exhibit map of the C-G
zoned property attached to the original annexation ordinance.This is the area that will be subject to the
new DA.
A concept plan was submitted showing how the property could potentially develop. The new DA will
not include this as an exhibit,it is meant for illustrative purposes only. Due to the size of the property,
compliance with the City's design standards,and the inclusion of staff's other recommended DA
provisions, staff believes the inclusion of a concept plan is not warranted. The proposed site plan
depicts a mix of retail,restaurants,a drive-through,and associated site improvements. Because the
site has the potential to develop with multiple drive-throughs and restaurants, staff has analyzed the
parking on the plan using the restaurant standards requiring one (1)parking stall for every 250 square
feet(UDC 11-4-3-49)of gross floor area to ensure adequate parking. Per this standard, 68 parking
stalls would be required if the site develops per the submitted concept plan. Currently,the plan
depicts 50 parking stalls. Therefore, staff recommends adding a provision to the Development
Agreement to address potential parking issues by requiring a parking ratio of 1 parking stall for every
250 square feet of gross floor area regardless of the use.
Currently,the City is processing a CZC and DES application for a drive-through use on the west
boundary in the Pine 43 development. If the abutting property does develop with a drive-through,the
proposed drive-through would be within 300 feet of another drive-through which would require CUP
approval.
Access to the property is proposed from E. Fairview Avenue; a shared access drive with the property
to the east(R8525101800). Staff has reviewed the Pine 43 Development Agreement(42018-000751)
conditions of approval and cross-access was required to be provided to this property for future cross-
access and interconnectivity between the two commercial areas. The plan as submitted doesn't
contemplate the cross access with the adjacent property. Staff recommends the applicant grant cross
access with the adjacent property to improve interconnectivity.
Staff recommends approval of the development agreement modification for the purpose of entering a
new agreement with the provisions in Exhibit A below.
IV. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the modification to the DA(Inst. 9104027941) as recommended by
Staff's analysis above and with the specific changes below.

V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
LAND USE: This property is designated as Medium Density Residential(MDR)on the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM)contained in the Comprehensive Plan. This designation allows for dwelling units at gross densities
of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre.
The subject property is an enclave surrounded by single-family residential properties to the west and north
and a church to the south with limited office to the east,located on land also designated MDR on the FLUM.
The Applicant proposes a 22-lot subdivision for single-family residential detached homes at a gross density
of 6.96 dwelling units per acre,which is within the desired density range of the MDR designation.
Goals, Objectives, &Action Items: Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable
to this application and apply to the proposed use of this property(staff analysis in italics):
• "Encourage a variety of housing types that meet the needs,preferences, and financial capabilities of
Meridian's present and future residents."(2.01.02D)
The proposed single-family detached dwellings will contribute to the variety of housing options in this
area and within the City as desired. Single-family detached homes currently exist to the north and
west, commercial is located to the north, a church is located to the south, and a Meridian Fire Station
#3 is located directly to the east. This development is proposed to bean age-restricted 55+community
and the applicant's narrative states they have an agreement in place to merge this development with
the Heritage Grove HOA.
• "Permit new development only where it can be adequately served by critical public facilities and
urban services at the time of final approval,and in accord with any adopted levels of service for
public facilities and services." (3.03.03F)
City water and sewer service is available and can be extended by the developer with development in
accord with UDC 11-3A-21.
• "Require all new development to create a site design compatible with surrounding uses through
buffering, screening,transitional densities,and other best site design practices."(3.07.01A)
The proposed medium-density single-family homes contribute the variety of residential categories
within the surrounding area as desired. However,staff finds a better transition could be achieved
along the north boundary.
Staff recommends that the applicant remove Lot H,Block I along the northern property
boundary so the lots can be widened for a better transition and provide more visibility on the
pathway connection to the commercial development.
• "Support infill development that does not negatively impact the abutting,existing development.
Infill projects in downtown should develop at higher densities,irrespective of existing
development." (2.02.02C)
The proposed infill development will likely not impact the existing abutting homeowners to the west
and north in this development, although, there could be some incremental impacts associated with
lot sizes proposed along the north, the impacts associated with this development are already
primarily established and there would be negligible impacts on the single family residential to the
west.
"Require pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions together and promote
neighborhood connectivity." (2.02.01D)
A 5-foot wide sidewalk is required along both sides of E. Prairiefire Street to provide a link between
Prairiefire Subdivision and Heritage Grove Subdivisions. Additionally, a 5-foot wide micro-
pathway is proposed on the west side of the development providing access to the commercial
subdivision to the north and N.Locust Grove Road.
• "Require urban infrastructure be provided for all new developments,including curb and gutter,
sidewalks,water and sewer utilities." (3.03.03G)
Urban sewer and water infrastructure and curb,gutter and sidewalks are required to be provided
with development of the subdivision.
• "Eliminate existing private treatment and septic systems on properties annexed into the City and
instead connect users to the City wastewater system; discourage the prolonged use of private
treatment septic systems for enclave properties."
If annexed, the existing home and other outbuildings will be required to abandon the existing septic
system and connect to the City wastewater system.
• "Maximize public services by prioritizing infill development of vacant and underdeveloped parcels
within the City over parcels on the fringe." (2.02.02)
Development of the subject infill parcel will maximize public services.
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS
A. ANNEXATION(AZ)
The Applicant proposes to annex 3.16 acres of land with an R-8 zoning district. A legal description and
exhibit map for the annexation area is included in Section VIILA. This property is within the City's Area
of City Impact boundary.
A preliminary plat was submitted showing how the property is proposed to be subdivided and developed
with 22 single-family residential detached dwelling units at a gross density of 6.96 units per acre (see
Sections VIILB,E).
Single-family detached dwellings are listed as a principal permitted use in the R-8 zoning district per
UDC Table 11-2A-2.Future development is subject to the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table
11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district.
The subject property is an enclave surrounded by existing single-family residential detached homes to
the north(Quenzer Commons),west(Heritage Grove),east(Summerfield),church to the south and
office park to the north. As noted above in Section V,development of infill properties is supported
provided it doesn't negatively impact the abutting,existing development.
The City may require a development agreement(DA)in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to
Idaho Code section 67-6511A. If this property is annexed, Staff recommends a DA is required with
the provisions discussed herein and included in Section IX.A.
B. PRELIMINARY PLAT(PP):
The proposed preliminary plat consists of 22 building lots and 6 common lots on 3.16 acres of land in
the proposed R-8 zoning district. Proposed lots range in size from 4,002 to 4,938 square feet(s.f)(or
0.091 to 0.113 acres). The proposed gross density of the subdivision is 6.96 units per acre. The
subdivision is proposed to develop in a single phase as shown in Section VIII.B.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements: There is an existing home and several outbuildings on the
property that are proposed to be removed with the development. Prior to the City Engineer's signature
on the final plat, all existing structures that do not conform to the setbacks of the district are
required to be removed.
Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2): The proposed plat and subsequent development is required to
comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district. The
proposed plat appears to comply with the dimensional standards of the district.
Access: Access is proposed from the extension of the existing local stub street(i.e.W. Prairiefire St.)
from the west. Access is prohibited from N.Locust Grove Road.
Landscaping(UDC 11-3B): A 25-foot wide buffer is required along material roads per UDC Table II-
2A-6. Common open space landscaping is proposed as shown on the landscape plan in Section VIILC.
All micro-pathways shall meet the requirements of UDC 11-313 including landscape strips of at least 5-
feet in width on either side and one tree per 100 linear feet per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C,
the landscape plan should be revised accordingly.
A Tree Mitigation Plan shall be submitted with the final plat detailing all existing trees and
methods of mitigation outlined by the City Arborist before any trees are to be removed as set forth
in UDC 11-3B-10C.S.
Common Open Space&Site Amenities (UDC 11-3G-3): Because this site is below 5 acres in size,
open space and site amenities are not required per UDC 11-3G-3A.However,the Applicant is providing
0.37 acres (16,117.20 square feet)of common area to provide pedestrian access to the commercial
properties located to the north and N. Locust Grove Road to the east. This area will be landscaped with
trees, shrubs,and include a 5-foot miccopath.
Staff recommends that the applicant remove Lot 11,Block 1 along the northern property
boundary.The mircopath connection on the northern portion of the common lot adjacent to the
commercial development is hidden behind Lot 11,Block 1 creating a potential safety issue for
pedestrians. Pedestrian pathways on common lots shall be designed to reduce the incidence of
crime and improve the quality of life.
Sidewalks (11-3A-17): Five-foot wide attached sidewalks are proposed along E.Prairiefire Street cul-
de-sac and a detached sidewalk along N. Locust Grove Road within the development in accord with
UDC standards.
Fencing: The landscape plan includes a fencing plan. The plan includes 6-foot-high solid vinyl fencing
along the western periphery of the site along the east side of common lot 12 adjacent to the adjoining
commercial property; 6-foot tan vinyl fencing with 2-feet of open vision screening is depicted on one
side of the common open space along the micro-pathway. The fencing appears to meet the requirements
of 11-3A-6 and 11-3A-7.
Utilities (UDC 11-3A-21): Connection to City water and sewer services is required in accord with UDC
11-3A-21. Street lighting is required to be installed in accord with the City's adopted standards,
specifications and ordinances.
Pressurized Irrigation System (UDC 11-3A-15): Underground pressurized irrigation water is required
to be provided to each lot within the subdivision as set forth in UDC 11-3A-15. The applicant intends on
connecting to the existing pressurized irrigation system developed with the Heritage Grove Subdivision.
Storm Drainage(UDC 11-3A-18):An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments
in accord with the City's adopted standards,specifications and ordinances.Design and construction shall
follow best management practice as adopted by the City as set forth in UDC 11-3A-18.
Building Elevations: Six(6) conceptual building elevations were submitted that demonstrate the
style of homes proposed for this development(see Section VIILF). A mix of single-story and
single-story with a bonus room homes are proposed; however, staff believes the proposed
elevations are not consistent with the Heritage Commons Subdivision development. Staff has
included a few sample elevations below that demonstrate the style of the homes in the Heritage
Grove development. Therefore, Staff recommends the Applicant submit revised elevations that are
consistent with the homes within the Heritage Commons Subdivision prior to the Council hearing.

IV. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS(Comprehensive Plan
Land Use: The Future Land Use Map (FLUM)contained in the Comprehensive Plan designates this
property,and many of the surrounding properties in this vicinity along the Eagle Road corridor,as
Mixed Use—Regional (MU-R). The purpose of this designation is to provide a mix of employment,
retail,and residential dwellings and public uses near major
'al intersections. The i et j or arterial intersecti intent is to
integrate a variety of uses together,including residential,and to avoid predominantly single use
developments such as a regional retail center with only restaurants and other commercial uses.
Developments should be anchored by uses that have a regional draw with the appropriate supporting
uses.For example,an employment center should have supporting retail uses; a retail center should
have supporting residential uses as well as supportive neighborhood and community services. The
standards for the MU-R designation provide an incentive for larger public and quasi-public uses
where they provide a meaningful and appropriate mix to the development. The developments are
encouraged to be designed consistent with the conceptual MU-R plan depicted in Figure 3D of the
Comprehensive Plan as shown below.

The applicant has submitted two(2)conceptual development plans. The first proposed conceptual
development plan depicts five (5)commercial building pads,including one for a fuel sales facility
and one for a drive-through establishment,totaling 32,625 square feet(s.f.)of building area. The
second conceptual plan also depicts the fuel sales facility and drive-through,eliminates the three
commercial pad sites in favor of a 51,670,4-story hotel. The applicant desires to have two concept
plans attached to the new development agreement to allow for greater flexibility. Additional uses may
develop on the site as allowed by UDC Table 11-2B-2 in the C-G district.Multi-family residential
uses(i.e.Village Apartments A-2021-0231)by the same developer have been approved and are in the
development process on the parcel directly to the east.
Vehicle interconnectivity is proposed between the commercial and residential uses to the east at the
north and south boundaries of the site. Safe pedestrian access should also be provided between the
commercial uses within the site and to the future residential uses.
The proposed development should provide a variety of commercial and retail uses in close proximity
to residential uses. Klemer City Park exists within a'/4 mile of this site to the southeast,which is
considered a Civic use.The site is located along N. Eagle Rd./SH-55 within 3/4 of a mile of a major
arterial intersection at E.Fairview Ave. and N. Eagle Rd.Although not anchored by uses that have a
regional draw,the existing and proposed uses contribute to the variety of uses within this overall MU-
R designated area as desired and should provide services to nearby residents.
Originally, staff raised concerns that the proposed commercial development was not integrated
with the future residential development to the east,nor was there a common usable gathering
area with a plaza or green space as desired in mixed use designated areas.Further,the rear of
the fuel facility/convenience store faces the backage road and the rear of Buildings C,D and E
face the residential development which creates a wall effect.This concern is less relevant with
the second concept plan because the building placement is farther from the shared property
line.Both plans have been updated to include some form of open space as desired by the Plan
and the applicant has provided pedestrian circulation plans to demonstrate pedestrian
movements between the commercial and future multi-family development to the east,which
more closely aligns with the development guidelines in the Comprehensive Plan for Mixed Use
and MU-R designated areas as noted below.However,with concept plan 1,labeled as EX1.0,
some or all of the buildings along the eastern boundary should be rotated and/or relocated and
a shared plaza area/green space added to a more central location within the development for
better integration,including a central pathway connection to the open space and front pad sites.
If the site develops consistent with concept plan 2, staff recommends that the applicant
construct a 5-foot sidewalk on the east boundary and provide a decorative crosswalk across the
drive aisle of the multi-family portion of the development to enhance pedestrian connectivity.
In reviewing development applications,the following items will be considered in all Mixed-Use
areas: (Staffs comments in italics)
• A mixed-use project should include at least three types of land uses. Exceptions may be
granted for smaller sites on a case-by-case basis. This land use is not intended for high
density residential development alone.
The larger overall mixed-use designated area includes a mix of residential, commercial,
office and civic uses. This project may only include commercial(i.e. retail, restaurant, etc)
and residential uses (Village Apartments) as proposed, which may be adequate because it's a
smaller site.
• Where appropriate,higher density and/or multifamily residential development is encouraged
for projects with the potential to serve as employment destination centers and when the
project is adjacent to US 20/26, SH-55, SH-16 or SH-69.
Multi family residential uses (i.e. Village Apartments) were approved on the parcel directly
to the east, which provide housing options for the commercial and employment uses along the
Eagle Road/SH-55 corridor.
• Mixed Use areas are typically developed under a master or conceptual plan; during an
annexation or rezone request,a development agreement will typically be required for
developments with a Mixed-Use designation.
A new conceptual development plan is proposed to replace the existing plan in the
development agreement approved with the annexation.
• In developments where multiple commercial and/or office buildings are proposed,the
buildings should be arranged to create some form of common,usable area, such as a plaza or
green space.
The proposed conceptual development plan does include common usable area but it is not
central to the development and is located along the southern drive aisle.
• The site plan should depict a transitional use and/or landscaped buffering between
commercial and existing low-or medium-density residential development.
No low-or medium-density residential uses abut this site;however, a minimum 25 foot wide
buffer, landscaped per the standards in UDC 11-3B-9C, is required along the eastern
boundary of the site in the GG district adjacent to future residential uses.
• Community-serving facilities such as hospitals,clinics,churches, schools,parks,daycares,
civic buildings,or public safety facilities are expected in larger mixed-use developments.
No community-serving facilities are proposed with this development; however, these uses do
exist within a fairly close proximity to the site and this is a smaller development.
• Supportive and proportional public and/or quasi-public spaces and places including but not
limited to parks,plazas,outdoor gathering areas,open space,libraries,and schools are
expected; outdoor seating areas at restaurants do not count.
Open space and plaza areas have been added to both concept plans.
• Mixed use areas should be centered around spaces that are well-designed public and
quasi-public centers of activity. Spaces should be activated and incorporate permanent
design elements and amenities that foster a wide variety of interests ranging from
leisure to play.These areas should be thoughtfully integrated into the development and
further placemaking opportunities considered.
Specific details for the integrated plaza areas have not been provided. The applicant should
provide an exhibit that demonstrates compliance with this goal.
• All mixed-use projects should be accessible to adjacent neighborhoods by both vehicles and
pedestrians. Pedestrian circulation should be convenient and interconnect different land use
types.Vehicle connectivity should not rely on arterial streets for neighborhood access.
The proposed development is accessible to the adjacent future residential development to the
east(i.e. Village Apartments) by vehicle via two (2)driveways, one at north end and one at
the south end of the site. Separate pedestrian walkways should also be provided for
pedestrian safety that provides a connection to the multi-use pathway along Eagle Rd. and
between buildings within the commercial development. The applicant has provided an
exhibit that demonstrates how pedestrian movements are achieved through the
development. Staff recommends additional pedestrian connections as noted above.
• A mixed-use project should serve as a public transit location for future park-and-ride lots,bus
stops, shuttle bus stops and/or other innovative or alternative modes of transportation.
Public transit isn't available in this vicinity.
• Alleys and roadways should be used to transition from dissimilar land uses,and between
residential densities and housing types.
The three(3)eastern building pads back up to a drive aisle with a row of parking on either
side associated with the multi family development.
• Because of the parcel configuration within Old Town,development is not subject to the
Mixed-Use standards listed herein.
This guideline is not applicable as the property is not in Old Town.
In reviewing development applications,the following items will be considered in MU-R areas:
• Development should generally comply with the general guidelines for development in all
Mixed-Use areas.
See analysis above.
• Residential uses should comprise a minimum of 10%of the development area at gross
densities ranging from 6 to 40 units/acre.
Between this site and the adjacent site to the east being developed by the same developer,
residential uses exceed 10%of the development area at a gross overall density of 20.12
units/acre.
• There is neither a minimum nor maximum imposed on non-retail commercial uses such as
office,clean industry,or entertainment uses.
The Applicant is unsure at this point what commercial uses will develop on this site other
than a fuel sales facility and convenience store and a drive-through establishment.
• Retail commercial uses should comprise a maximum of 50%of the development area.
To ensure retail commercial uses don't exceed 50% of the development area and for a
transition in uses,Staff recommends the concept plan is revised to depict non-retail
commercial, office and/or civic uses for a minimum of 50% of the development area
between the residential and retail commercial uses. The plans have not been updated to
reflect this request however, the second concept plan does depict a hotel site which could
limit the amount of retail that could develop on the site. The new DA should restrict the
amount of retail on this site unless Commission and Council find this development
shouldn't be further restricted because this property is part of a larger MU-R designated
area.
Where the development proposes public and quasi-public uses to support the development,the
developer may be eligible for additional area for retail development(beyond the allowed 50%),
based on the ratios below:
• For land that is designated for a public use, such as a library or school,the developer is
eligible for a 2:1 bonus. That is to say,if there is a one-acre library site planned and
dedicated,the project would be eligible for two additional acres of retail development.
• For active open space or passive recreation areas, such as a park,tot-lot,or playfield,the
developer is eligible for a 2:1 bonus. That is to say,if the park is 10 acres in area,the site
would be eligible for 20 additional acres of retail development.
• For plazas that are integrated into a retail project,the developer would be eligible for a
6:1 bonus. Such plazas should provide a focal point(such as a fountain, statue,and water
feature),seating areas,and some weather protection. That would mean that by providing
a half-acre plaza,the developer would be eligible for three additional acres of retail
development.
No public or quasi public uses are proposed with this development. If the concept plan is
revised to include such uses, the developer may be eligible for additional area for retail
development(beyond the allowed 50%).
Sample uses,appropriate in MU-R areas,include: All MU-N and MU-C categories,
entertainment uses,major employment centers,clean industry,and other appropriate
regional-serving most uses. Sample zoning include: R-15,R-40,TN-C,C-G,and M-E. The
proposed commercial/retail/restaurant and fuel sales facility uses are allowed uses in the
existing C-G zone, although they are not "regional serving"uses.
The following Comprehensive Plan Policies are also applicable to this development: (Staffs
analysis in italics)
• "Permit new development only where it can be adequately served by critical public facilities
and urban services at the time of final approval,and in accord with any adopted levels of
service for public facilities and services." (3.03.03F)
City water and sewer service is available and can be extended by the developer with
development in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. Urban services are available to be provided
upon development.
• "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land."
(3.07.00)
The proposed commercial uses should be compatible with adjacent commercial uses to the
north and south; and with the future multi family residential uses to the east if non-retail,
office and/or civic uses are provided as a buffer and transition in uses as recommended.
• "Encourage and support mixed-use areas that provide the benefits of being able to live, shop,
dine,play,and work in close proximity,thereby reducing vehicle trips, and enhancing overall
livability and sustainability." (3.06.02B)
The proposed commercial uses and fuel sales facility should provide nearby services and
employment options to the residents of the adjacent multi family developments, reducing
vehicle trips on area roadways.
V. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE ANALYSIS (UDO
A. Development Agreement Modification(MDA):
The Applicant proposes a modification to the existing Development Agreement(DA) for Village
Apartments (AZ-15-012;MDA-I5-011—DA Inst. 92022-065403)to remove the commercial
portion of the property,consisting of 5.32 acres of land, from the agreement and enter into a new
DA for the proposed project with two(2)updated conceptual development plans.
The existing conceptual development plan depicts three (3)retail/commercial building pads along
the frontage of N. Eagle Road,two(2)of which are drive-through establishments,and one (1)
larger retail building east of the building pads fronting on Eagle Rd. totaling 28,500 square feet
(s.f).A driveway is depicted at the northeast corner of the site for vehicular connectivity with the
residential development to the east. A driveway is not depicted to the property to the south(flea
Great Wall)because when that property developed,access was not required to be provided to this
property because of the Finch Lateral,a large irrigation facility that separates the two properties.
The properties to the south of the Finch Lateral were to have a backage road along their east
boundaries for access via E.River Valley St.
Since that time,this developer and the property owner to the south have been working together to
construct a backage road between the two properties along Eagle Rd. and the Finch Lateral has
been piped. A new access via Eagle Rd./SH-55 is proposed with this application,which will
replace the existing temporary access on the Great Wall/Copper Canary property,if approved by
the City and ITD. The temporary access was allowed to remain until such time as access became
available from the south via E. River Valley St. If non-residential uses develop on the property to
the south of the Copper Canary(fka Great Wall)property at 3280 E.River Valley St. as currently
entitled,the backage road will extend to E. River Valley St.; however,if residential uses develop
on that property,only an emergency access will be provided from the north to that property per
the development agreement(Copper Canary Inst. 92022-048293).
As noted above,the applicant has submitted two(2)conceptual development plans. The first
proposed plan depicts five (5)building pads totaling 32,625 s.f. A fuel sales facility with a
convenience store is proposed on the northwest pad,a drive-through is proposed on the pad
directly to the south,and three(3)other pads are proposed along the east boundary of the site
adjacent to the future multi-family residential development to the east. The second plan still
depicts the fuel sales facility with convenience store and drive-through but in lieu of the three
other pads,a hotel is proposed. As noted above in Section IV, Staff recommends changes to
both concept plans for better integration between uses in accord with the mixed use and
MU-R guidelines in the Comprehensive Plan.
One driveway access is proposed at the north boundary which will serve as a backage road along
Eagle Rd. and will connect to the property to the south. Two(2)driveways to the east are
proposed for interconnectivity with the future residential development. Typically, Staff would
prefer the alignment of the backage road to be more linear and direct but the access points to the
north and south are not in alignment. The"jog"in the roadway will result in traffic calming and
reduced speeds,which is desired,especially if the access via Eagle Rd. is approved which will
intersect the backage road.
A cross-access easement(Inst. 92016-003980)exists with the property to the north for access via
Eagle Road for this property. A reciprocal cross-access easement should also be recorded
granting cross-access between the subject property and the abutting property to the south
(Parcel#51104233802); and the abutting property to the east(Parcel#51104233730).
Copies of the recorded agreements should be submitted to the Planning Division prior to
signature on the final plat by the City Engineer.
Staff has reviewed the provisions of the existing DA and finds provisions 95.1 f,which requires a
buffer to residential uses; 45.1g,which requires pedestrian connections to be provided between
the residential portion of the site and future commercial development; and 95.1h,which requires
traffic calming to be provided between the residential and commercial development, still apply to
development of the subject property. Therefore, Staff recommends these provisions are carried
over to the new DA along with new provisions as noted herein and in Section VIILA.
B. Preliminary Plat(PP):
A Preliminary Plat is proposed consisting of five (5)building lots on 5.32 acres of land in the C-
G zoning district. As part of the plat,the Applicant requests City Council approval of an access
via N. Eagle Rd./SH-55,located on the abutting property to the south(Parcel#S 1104233802).
Consent has been granted from the abutting property owner for this request as part of this
application.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
There are no existing structures on this site; the previous structures have been removed.
Dimensional Standards:
Development of the proposed lots is required to comply with the dimensional standards of the C-
G zoning district in UDC Table 11-2B-3.
Subdivision Design and Improvement Standards (UDC 11-6C-2"-
Development of the subdivision is required to comply with the subdivision design and
improvement standards listed in UDC 11-6C-3.
Access (UDC 11-3A-3
There are two(2)existing accesses on this site associated with the previous residential use(s)and
one(1)temporary access on the abutting property to the south via N. Eagle Rd./SH-55 that are
proposed to be removed and replaced with one (1)new right-in/right-out driveway access on the
abutting property to the south as depicted on the plans and as shown below.
Per UDC 11-3H-4,the use of existing approaches via the state highway are not allowed to
continue if the intensity of the use increases. With the change in use to commercial,the intensity
of the use will increase;therefore,the existing approaches are not allowed to remain and must be
abandoned and removed as proposed.New approaches directly accessing a state highway are only
allowed at the section line road and the half mile mark between section line roads,which does not
apply in this case. City Council may consider and approve modifications to the standards in
UDC 11-3H-4 upon specific recommendation of the Idaho Transportation Department
(ITD) or if strict adherence is not feasible, as determined by City Council.
ITD issued a letter of acceptance of the revised traffic striping conceptual drawings,dated
November 13,2019, for SH-55/Eagle Rd. from River Valley St. to approximately 1,500 feet
north for the proposed right-in/right-out access via Eagle Rd. The letter states the drawings
address all of ITD's safety concerns but only acknowledges the acceptance of the conceptual plan
—final approval of the proposed access and associated improvements is determined once all
documentation has been provided and the permit is signed. Final approval of the access has not
yet been granted been ITD.
A Trac Impact Study(TIS)was submitted for the Village Apartments and Sessions Parkway
developments,prepared by Kittelson&Associates in 2021. The study finds a northbound right-
turn lane on Eagle Road into the site as proposed is warranted and should be constructed as
proposed.
A curb cut exists at the northern boundary of the site for access via Eagle Rd./SH-55 through an
existing vehicular&pedestrian cross-access easement(Inst. 92016-003980). A cross-
access/ingress-egress easement should be provided to the properties to the south and east
for interconnectivity and access.A recorded copy of said agreements should be submitted
prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer.

the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-8. If the pathway is located outside of the right-of-way, a
14-foot wide public pedestrian easement should be submitted to the Planning Division and
recorded prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer. Pedestrian lighting and
landscaping shall be installed along the pathway consistent with the Eagle Road Corridor
Study and comply with the specifications listed in UDC 11-3H-4C.3.
Two pedestrian plans have been submitted that depicts pedestrian walkways between the
building pads in the proposed commercial development and the future residential
development to the east, and to the commercial properties to the north and south,for safe
pedestrian access and interconnectivity. Connectivity is also be provided to the multi-use
pathway along Eagle Rd.Pedestrian walkways should be distinguished from the vehicular
driving surfaces through the use of pavers,colored or scored concrete,or bricks in accord
with UDC 11-3A-19B.4.As noted above in section IV, staff recommends additional pathway
connections to enhance connectivity within the proposed development.

A minimum 35-foot wide street buffer is required along N. Eagle Rd./SH-55,an entryway
corridor,landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. The final plat should depict the
buffer in a common lot or on a permanent dedicated buffer easement, maintained by the
property owner, or business owner's association per UDC 11-3B-7C.2a.
A minimum 25-foot wide buffer is required by UDC Table 11-2B-3 in the C-G district along the
eastern boundary of the site adjacent to future residential uses,landscaped per the standards in
UDC 11-3B-9C. This buffer may be installed at the time of lot development. Landscape buffers
are required to facilitate safe pedestrian access between residential and commercial
development as set forth in UDC 11-3B-9C.3; the plan should be revised accordingly.
