Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Just to go into the adoption of the agenda, for our Consent Agenda we had a
request to remove Items 15 and 16 and we will move those down to items removed
from the Consent Agenda, so they will not be on the Consent Agenda, but we will hear
them in order. We talked about do we do them after 21 , but I think we can just take care
of those in a timely fashion to not impact anything else. So, with that change noted, Mr.
Mayor, I move adoption of the agenda as amended.
Overton: Second.
Simison: Have a motion and a second to adopt agenda as amended -- as amended. Is
there any discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The

Simison: Next up is the Consent Agenda.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: I move approval of the Consent Agenda and for the Mayor to sign and the

Consent Agenda for separate consideration.
Overton: Second.

ITEMS MOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA [Action Item]
15. Master License Agreement Between the City of Meridian and Crown
Castle Fiber, LLC, for the Use of Licensor Property in Connection
with the Operation of a Wireless Network
Simison: So, next we will move on to Items 15 and 16, which were removed from the
Consent Agenda. First up will be Item 15.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Maybe it would make sense just to make a quick comment. I was the person
that requested that we remove the items from the Consent Agenda. So, you know, I
reviewed the agreements and I also reviewed the photographs of the 5G small cell
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 4 of 22
examples of what those would look like. I don't agree with how they look aesthetically
and I also have an issue, because I feel like our agreement authorizes the use of our
streetlights for these cell towers, but it doesn't really restrict their appearance, their
location, with the exception of referring to the UDC and from speaking with Legal the
UDC is not very descriptive on how to handle them and so I think it would make more
sense to take a look at updating our UDC and in the meantime certainly the providers
have the ability to continue to use all of the, you know, ACHD right of way and the
intersections as they have been. So, I -- I don't think it would be too restrictive to take a
look at that a little bit more. So, I just wasn't ready to approve it on the Consent
Agenda.
Simison: Thank you.
Borton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Borton.
Borton: A question on that concern. Was there any direction from Legal in that
discussion that says there is an opportunity to -- to add language to it or to provide
some clarity on design elements or -- or any suggestions that might address the
concerns you have raised?
Strader: I didn't feel that there was an opportunity to -- to address those concerns at
this point, but --
Nary: Yeah. Mr. Mayor, Members of Council, Council Member Strader and Borton, so
in speaking with planning -- I mean we have -- we -- we already have an existing UDC
code that they are already having to apply with on aesthetics and things like that. Could
they be better? Yeah. I think they have been working with -- my staff and -- and -- and
Planning are working on that as an iteration for the UDC. But we have been applying
the UDC now on the requests that are being made in commercial areas. So, certainly
that's an ongoing conversation, but it -- it didn't -- it didn't feel to us or to Planning that it
was imperative to do that before this master agreement would be in place. But it's
certainly your folks call.
Borton: Mayor, one other follow-up question on that.
Simison: Councilman Borton.
Borton: Bill, is the -- the obligation for these to meet the requirements of the UDC, is it
requirements of the UDC as it exists at the time of each installation or are they
somehow grandfathered into its current status today?
Nary: No. It would be a new application, Councilman Borton. So, it would be whatever
the existing UDC requirements are at the time they apply, because it's an individual
application each time.
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 5 of 22
Borton: Okay. So, if there is changes into our UDC that provides some more specifics
on design parameters, a lot of these licensees will be subject to and have to comply
with that?
Nary: Yes, sir. Yeah. Yeah. The existing ones, obviously, would remain, because they
have already been permitted. But anything -- a new application -- if the standards have
changed those would be what they would apply.
Borton: Okay. Thanks.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Yeah. It sounds like -- so, if -- if we have that discussion and things change
those -- those would apply and -- and move forward, so I -- I -- I don't have an issue with
the -- with approving the master license agreement right now and, then, having those --
those discussions and seeing if there needs to be any -- any changes. So, I would
move that we approve the master license agreement between the City of Meridian and
Crown Castle Fiber, LLC, for the use of licensor property in connection with the
operation of wireless network.
Overton: Second.
Simison: Have a motion and a second to approve what was Consent Item No. 15. Is
there discussion on the motion?
Borton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Borton.
Borton: A couple quick things. I appreciate Council Woman Strader bringing it up and --
and that review -- holding it for this discussion is helpful and like it's not there is -- unless
there is concern from Council that Planning staff is -- this is on the UDC update radar to
see what language, if any, that might be helpful before the horse is out of the barn too
far for design elements, that will happen sooner rather than later, I presume. Am I
correct?
Nary: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, Council Member Borton, I'm not sure what
the timing is, but certainly I will talk to Planning.
Borton: Okay. Just making sure it's on the radar. Thanks.
Simison: Is there further discussion on the motion?
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 6 of 22
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Yeah, I -- I think it's just the horse getting out of the barn is my concern. So,
my comment was going to be either way, whether it's approved tonight or not, just that
we have, you know, focus on the UDC updates for this. I would not want to walk out my
front door and see one of these next to my house, so I'm just trying to kind of come at it
from a practical level of, you know, the aesthetics and kind of what they look like and
understand, you know, the density of how many can be located in a neighborhood, et
cetera. So, some of those were my concerns and I felt like didn't get addressed,
because I just received the -- sort of depictions of them yesterday that I have been
asking for. So, understood if it gets approved tonight, you know, I'm sure we will tackle
it either way, but it does really seem like something that we are going to need to focus
on.
Simison: All right. Any further discussion? Okay. If not, Clerk will call the roll. Or do
you want a voice vote? Would Council like a voice vote or roll call?
Strader: I'm going to vote no, so --
Simison: Okay. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay?
Strader: Nay.
Simison: The ayes have it three to one.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE NAY. TWO ABSENT.
16. Master License Agreement Between the City of Meridian and Verizon
Wireless for the Use of Licensor Property in Connection with the
Operation of a Wireless Network
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Item 16 is basically the very same thing with just a different provider name on
there. So, I move approval of the master license agreement between the City of
Meridian and Verizon Wireless for the use of licensor property in connection with the
operation of a wireless network.
Overton: Second.
Simison: I have a motion and a second to approve what was Consent Agenda Item 16.
Is there discussion on this topic? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed
nay?
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 7 of 22
Strader: Nay.
Simison: The ayes have it three to one and the items are agreed to.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE NAY. TWO ABSENT.
Simison: Thank you. And while I don't see anybody from community development here
I'm sure Legal will be conveying that part of the conversation or myself when I meet with
them, so -- okay.
DEPARTMENT / COMMISSION REPORTS [Action Item]
21. Gowen Thunder Airshow & Open House Presentation
Simison: With that we will move on to our Department/Commission Reports. First item
up is Item 21, which is Gowen Thunder Air Show and open house presentation. Jake,
do you want to introduce -- or would you -- would you just like to have Lieutenant
Colonel come up and take the mic? All right. And we will -- we are joined tonight by the
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Vincelli. So, the -- the stage is yours.
Vincelli: All right. Thank you, Mayor.
Simison: And if you can just state your name and address and speak into a mic, so
those remote can hear you well.
Vincelli: Roger that. Mr. Mayor, Council Members, thank you very much for the
opportunity to come and share some information with you today. My name again is
Tony Vincelli. I'm a 26 year member of the -- the military. Served at Gowen Field in
Boise for about 23 years now and I am the -- I am fortunate enough to be the director
for Gowen Thunder 2023. 1 just wanted to spend a few minutes just to -- to share some
information about the air show and our event with you and certainly be available to
answer any questions. Is there slides? Am I able to -- I can't see them, so I just want to
make sure -- okay. Perfect. As long as you can see them that's all that really matters. I
have got paper copies right here. So, Gowen Thunder -- first of all, were any of you
able to attend the 2017 event -- our first air show that we had in 2017? Okay. So, this
might be new -- new to many of you and that's great. So, Gowen Thunder is a joint
military open house and air show event. So, what we mean by joint is that it is an Army
National Guard and Air National Guard event. Responsibilities are shared. Expenses
are shared. Everything is -- is jointly planned between those two agencies and we also
have a nonprofit foundation on -- on the installation in Boise called the MWR program
that helps service members and families with various resilience activities, recreational
programs, things for children and families. So, it's a -- it's an outstanding organization
that we have internally at Gowen Field. Our mission and vision is, obviously, to host a --
a free family friendly event in the community, something that's extremely unique. We
are only going to be doing it about once every four years in -- in the Treasure Valley
area and we want to do that primarily to say thank you to the citizens of the Treasure
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 8 of 22
Valley and all of Idaho for -- for all of their support. We have a lot of friends in the
National Guard and we just want to take an opportunity to spend some time with
community and thank them for their support. We also want to celebrate some
achievements in -- in the military and in aviation and probably most near and dear to my
heart is to inspire patriotism and ignite the imagination of the next generation and I will
talk about how we are planning to do that. Next slide. All right. So, in 2017 we actually
were pretty surprised with the attendance that we had. We had close to 125,000 people
there over the two days about 65 on -- on Saturday of that weekend and 60,000 on
Sunday. You can see the -- the breakout and that's just an estimate, but we did do
some sample polling, about 500 or so folks, and that's the -- the percentages that we
came up with. So, really good representation from the City of Meridian, along with the
other communities across the valley. We are expecting an even bigger event this year.
It's going to be over 150,000 and we base that off of a couple of things. Number one
nationally air shows are beating attendance projections. I think people are kind of tired
of being inside the house. They want to get out and -- and be out in the community and
certainly as a free family event like this I think will -- will draw big crowds. We do have
some other events that we are competing with that weekend. The Albertsons Boise
Open is that weekend, as is the final weekend of the Western Idaho Fair, but I think that
we can share the audience with those other events and -- and expect a great turnout.
And as you can see there are economic impacts as assessed by the Boise Convention
and Visitors Bureau is just short of five million dollars. So, that's a really great thing for
area businesses and area nonprofits as well. Let's see. There we go. All right. So,
leading the show this year is going to be the Thunderbirds. If you have ever been to an
air show before you know about the -- the Thunderbirds. Just a -- a really great
performance team and certainly draws a lot of crowds. We are also going to have
various military performers and civilian performers there as well. I won't detail all of
them, but you can see the list there. It's pretty extensive. It's going to be about a six
hour show with a couple of short intermissions on both Saturday and Sunday and, then,
we are going to have a whole variety of things going on on the show grounds ramp and
I will show you a map of that here in just a second. All right. So, this is just kind of a --
my version of what the other ramp looks like. I will show you what it actually looks like
on the next slide. But folks will -- will park at parking areas within a few miles of Boise --
of Gowen Field and, then, be bused onto the field and, then, once they enter they are
going to be able to freely walk the ramp and see the performances once they start at
about 11 :00 o'clock on both Saturday and Sunday. We are expecting -- well, we are --
we are planning for up to 160 buses to bus all of the folks, because what we want to
have happen is we want to make sure people have a great time and, then, are able to
leave in a timely manner. We don't want to have them having to hang out for an hour or
two waiting for a bus to get them back to their cars. So, we are making every effort to
ensure that that wait time is going to be as short as possible. Here is what the ramp
actually looks like and this is still very tentative, but it's -- you don't see any airplanes on
the ramp yet. Trust me there will be many airplanes and -- and other exhibits on the --
on the showgrounds ramp there. But that's kind of how it's oriented in that east ramp.
So, straight up is north and so that ramp to the east is going to be prime viewing area
for the -- the performances that are happening. Any questions on the layout of the -- of
this -- probably have several questions. You can ask those at any point if you have
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 9 of 22
questions. Next slide here. Our budget is just -- just over three quarters of a million
dollars this year. So, it's -- it's quite expensive when you factor in all of the travel for the
performers, the fuel that goes into the -- the aircraft, all of the -- all of the hospitality and
arranging for -- for water and beverages and food and all that sort of thing, it is -- it gets
-- the -- the bills add up quickly. So, we do rely quite heavily on sponsorships. About a
third of the cost comes from -- is covered by the military and the rest must come through
sponsorships and, then, through our ticket sales and vendor sales and that's how we
are planning to pay the bills and, then, anything that's left over will be put into a fund to
fund our -- to help partially fund our next air show, which we are planning for in 2027.
As you can see the Guard is a -- is a vital member of the community and of the state.
Total economic impact is -- is just over six hundred million dollars and, you know, I'm
happy to say I'm -- I'm a Meridian resident as well and 534 of us, plus our families,
currently reside in Meridian. So, certainly any support that you provide to this event will
-- will not be lost on -- on those of us that are -- are citizens of this great city. And, then,
you know, there is multiple ways that we are asking people to support. Specifically for
you, though, I see a few different potential -- and I spoke with Jacob Cluff and -- and
David Miles about this, but we are really concerned -- or not concerned. We are really
interested and excited about the STEM Expo Center, which is going to be really an
opportunity for kids to come in and get hands on with a lot of different exhibits and we
are -- we are enlisting the support of Boise State University, some other universities as
well and area businesses to provide exhibits for the kids to kind of get in there and --
and get excited about science, technology, engineering and math. That -- the location
of that expo center is -- is also pretty advantageous, because it happens to be shaded
and it will be cool or -- or at least cooler than being out in the ramp in late August. So, I
think it will be a -- a well attended venue on the -- on the air show ramp. And, then, I
mentioned buses earlier and this may just be nothing more than public awareness, but
we are looking for qualified bus drivers and we are certainly enlisting the support of area
bus companies, because 160 buses, as you can imagine, with drivers, is quite
expensive. In fact, it's over 150,000 dollars of our budget comes from busing alone.
So, anything that you can do to help us in that regard, again, just maybe reaching out to
-- to bus companies and -- and pledging your support to the event and asking them to
support us by providing those buses and drivers at a -- at as reasonable a cost as
possible that would be certainly appreciated and, then, of course, you got to pay the
bills. So, cash sponsorship is always -- always welcome to the extent that you are -- are
comfortable and -- and want to support the event. With that I -- I'm kind of at the end of
my slideshow. So, if there are any questions so that I -- or any other information that I
can provide I would be happy to do it at this time.
Simison: Thank you. Lieutenant Colonel. Council, any questions? I'm -- I'm seeing no
questions. I know this was an item that the City of Meridian did financially support four
years ago. I believe it was either with a five or ten thousand dollar donation in support
of the STEM center, bussing, and I think it was -- at the time it was to bus Meridian
students to participate in the STEM activities on Friday. Is that still something that is
going to exist in the current scenario?
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 10 of 22
Vincelli: One hundred percent. That STEM expo center will be open all three days. It is
-- the timing this time around is a little bit of a challenge just because the kids are
getting just back into school; right? So, unfortunately, we were at -- at the mercy of the
Thunderbirds' schedule when they were available and late August was about all we
could do this year. So, we are going to make lemonade out of lemons and -- and go
with it, but, obviously, if any kids want to get out of school and attend they are more than
welcome on Friday. But, obviously, Saturday and Sunday we expect a good amount of
kids to come out and -- and participate at the STEM center.
Hoaglun: So Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Thanks for the presentation. So, it is a great event. I know community
members really enjoy it. So, is there particular sponsorship levels that you have? Is
that on your website we can go to --
Vincelli: It is. Yes, sir. So, if you go to gowenthunder.org and, then, click on the
sponsors button and scroll down half the page there is a -- a link to view the whole
packet. I can briefly summarize it. So, sponsorships start at -- our -- our one star
sponsorship starts at 3,500 dollars and, then, we have two star is 5,000 and the three
star at 10,000. And there is -- you know, there is various benefits that go along with that
and we -- we tailor that more towards private companies, you know, who want to
entertain clients or -- or bring business associates out. For -- for city officials you are,
obviously, welcome to attend the tags tent and -- and, you know, you could -- any tickets
that we provide to the city you could pass out to your employees or to whomever you
feel is -- is wanting -- you know, needing those tickets. But that's -- that's just kind of
how we structure the different levels of sponsorship.
Hoaglun: And, Mr. Mayor, one last question.
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: What's -- what's the deadline? When would you like to have a decision by?
Vincelli: Really at any point is -- is fine. We are pressing forward full steam ahead. We
don't see any issues that will prevent us from having this event successfully, other than
busing, but we have a solution there. We are going to actually train a lot of our soldiers
and airmen to drive the buses ourselves and actually that will cut down on some costs
as well, so -- but to answer your question, sir, at any point really. We are -- we are not
under a time crunch.
Hoaglun: Thank you.
Vincelli: Yes, sir.

Overton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: Colonel, thank you for a great presentation. I was looking down while you
were talking, because I probably sent it out to about a dozen people.
Vincelli: I appreciate that.
Overton: To get the word out.
Vincelli: Absolutely.
Overton: As I'm looking forward to this event. It's been a long time. Thank you.
Vincelli: Thank you. Thank you very much.
Simison: Well, Council, I don't want to be the -- I mean -- okay. I'm going to do the hard
ask right now, just to make sure that we -- this technically is the last day we can do
budget amendments in this year. This is not a budgeted item within our current budget.
So, if Council is interested in supporting this financially I feel like -- unless someone else
has -- knows another way to pay for it that's not part of our budget, if the city is
interested we probably need to make a motion today and I don't even know how that
works if you don't have the official budget amendment form in front of you, but I have
been told we can't do budget amendments next week, because we have to publish the
numbers for the year. So, I will leave that right there for any direction or non-direction.
Vincelli: And -- and if it would be better if I exited the room and you guys discussed it
that is totally up to you, sir.
Simison: And I don't think that's necessary. They -- they -- they often make fund
conversation decisions with other people in the room who -- sometimes they like what
they do and sometimes they don't, so --
Borton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Borton.
Borton: I'm comfortable for certain continuing to support this event in a manner which
we have done in prior years. I would love to get it on the radar in anticipation of
continued support in future years, so it fits into our budget discussions, but -- but the
mechanics of how we do it, in light of the timing, if it's -- if it's funded and -- and the
funds are delivered in the next fiscal year, because that's what it takes and, then, so be
it. We still want to make sure we can provide the financial assistance.
Simison: And our CFO just showed up.
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 12 of 22
Borton: Fantastic.
Simison: So, he can at least maybe weigh in on this topic.
Borton: Okay.
Lavoie: Mr. Mayor, Members of Council, this event is occurring confirmed before
October 1 of this calendar year. So, with that that is a fiscal '23 item. So, fiscal '24 we
don't need to worry about. So, the question is, you know, where do we have the money
in this year's budget? Sorry. I was running down the hallway. So, in this case we don't
need a budget amendment per se. You have the spending authority up to a certain
amount of dollars. We will have the bandwidth in your budget to make the contribution
that you wish, if you wish, to -- for fiscal '23. So, no forms needed. Just give me
direction. We can draft up some paperwork. Sorry. We can draft up the paperwork for
you. Get the contract signed up. Procurement. Legal. You just tell me how much
money -- how much you would just write up a contract and we will make sure we have
the funds available for fiscal '23 to satisfy your needs.
Simison: Perfect. So, we don't need spending authority, because we have spending
authority, which is under most budget amendments. We have funds left over from
savings of some sort someplace, likely police personnel. There is always a little bit of
extra there. We know that. So, do you want a week to think about it and come back
next week, since we don't need to at this specific time?
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: No. No. I mean we could do that. There is not a rush to do it, but I -- I'm in
agreement with Councilman Borton's proposal that, you know, we do it -- what we did
before. I think that was a good amount. I believe it was 10,000. Is that what you would
-- anybody recall?
Simison: It was either five or ten. I don't recall.
Hoaglun: And maybe we -- you know, we can take a look at that and -- and make a
decision next week or something. Soon enough to let you know where we are coming
down on and -- since we don't need any forms or anything officially done today, we
might -- might be okay with that, so --
Vincelli: What I will do is I will -- I will share the -- the packet -- the sponsorship packet
with David -- with Mr. Miles and, then, he can --
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023

Strader: I just -- I do have some concerns and I have -- and just my -- my concerns
would be -- I think is probably a huge amount of external events that we could support
as city and so I think we need to be thoughtful about what we pick and choose. This is
a fantastic event to support, but I wouldn't, for example, want us to provide the same
level of financial support to this event that we provide to, for example, Dairy Days, which
is held within our own city; right? So, I just think we need to like -- just through kind of
the amount of the contribution and make sure it makes sense. It sounds like we did it
previously. It directly benefited, you know, Meridian students. So, if that opportunity is
available. So, I just -- I have a couple concerns I would like to --
Simison: Okay. All right. Well, I guess you will be hearing from us soon.
Vincelli: Okay. Thank you very much.
Simison: All right. Thank you. And thank you for bringing this event to the community.
22. Fiscal Year 2023 Budget Amendment in the amount of $48,950.00 for
City Hall Tenant Improvements
Simison: So, with that we will move on to Item 22, which is fiscal year '23 -- 2023
budget amendment in the amount of 48,950 dollars for City Hall tenant improvements.
Turn this over to Laurelei.
McVey: All right. Good afternoon, Mayor and Council Members. So, the reason I'm
bringing this forward is my team is responsible for facilities at City Hall and tenant
improvements. So, I will kick it off for us. So, this is for a budget amendment for the
design of nine additional hard walled offices in City Hall. So, six of those would be in
the Fire area and three of those are in the IT area. So, this tenant improvement request
does meet the design guidelines that we have put into place for tenant improvements in
City Hall. The primary purpose of these is to put supervisors into hard walled offices, so
that they can conduct supervisory duties in a private space. Just a reminder. I know it
seems like just yesterday, but we moved into this building in 2008, so it's about 15 years
old and so that's, you know, quite a bit of time that's past and some changes in staffing
have pushed this forward. But this tenant improvement would allow us to meet the
needs of our staff in several of these areas. And, again, this budget amendment is just
for the design of those areas, so that we could move forward with actually procuring
construction costs. But this is just for the design piece.
Simison: Thank you, Laurelei. And we do at least have -- I see Dave --
Laurelei: Dave's online, I believe.
Simison: Okay. We have IT and fire chief here for any questions that you have in
regards to this. But this is part of the ongoing conversation, especially as we have seen
the Fire Department grow and the challenges that are there. I think we have one
person who we don't actually have a physical space for within the -- within the
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 14 of 22
department. So, this will help alleviate that, but also, you know, try to get people aligned
with what expectations we have for positions, the best of our ability. Now, we are
always not going to be able to meet that goal, but we do have a way that we -- we can
and we -- we have been putting off TI. The Mayor's office had a TI that we were hoping
to do when we were -- as we did a realignment of personnel, but, you know, costs are
not what they used to be and -- you know. But that's why it's -- it's tough to look at these
numbers and say this is the -- this is the cost, but, apparently, we just don't understand
construction to be able to look at these numbers and have -- have faith in them and
what takes place to, you know, LEED certified building and with air handling and moving
things and lighting and everything else. But I will -- I will let you ask any questions you
have for the team.
Overton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: As somebody who sat on the sidelines and watched our police department get
fuller and fuller as we grew, I have witnessed what we have had to do in restructuring
spaces and I have seen what you are looking at and I totally agree that it's needed -- or
past being needed and it's not even the -- the last one you are going to have to do in the
future to keep up with the needs of an ever growing city and I fully support it.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: I -- you know, I'm just blown away by the cost, frankly. You know, I mean this
-- the professional services are 50,000, but it looks like that, you know, kind of leads us
down the path of half a million dollar renovation. It's just a huge amount of money it
seems like for nine offices. Like 60,000 dollars per office. It's like I'm really sort of
struggling. Does that -- does that just meet the needs of existing personnel who are
supervisors? So, do we have nine supervisors who don't have an office currently or is
that also meeting future needs? Like help me understand who -- kind of the breakdown
of who will be using those offices.
Simison: I can -- I can speak for -- well, never mind. I'm not going to speak for either
one of them, Chief or Dave, I will let you answer.
Blume: All right. Mr. Mayor, Members of Council, Council Woman Strader, currently in
Fire situation we have five supervisors at the division chief level that are in cubicles and
they do not have an office with a door. We have a vacancy for a training division -- chief
of training position that we have been unable to fill. But if that person were to come to
the Meridian Fire Department tomorrow we do not, in fact, have an office available for
that person or a cubicle for them to sit in. We have additional cubicles which we have
three people -- in -- in one instance we have one cubicle that is shared by three people.
But those aren't supervisors and so the ask with TI is for the division chiefs and, in fact,
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 15 of 22
one of our deputy chiefs, the deputy chief of operation, is in a cubicle and is in dire need
of a private place to have confidential, executive level discussions, conversations with
members of staff, members of the city, surrounding agencies, as well as members of the
organization. So, it's -- I think to Councilman Overton's point it's overdue, so -- does
that help, ma'am?
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: A comment a little bit on it, because I think it's just healthy for everybody to be
challenged on it. Why not have a hotel desk concept where we have supervisors able
to book, you know, a private conference room, maybe one or two are sharing it and can
have those -- like how many -- just challenging it a little bit. Like how many confidential
conversations are needing to happen in a day, because I -- I don't know -- I used to
work on a trading floor where we used to share offices for those kinds of conversations
and it really wasn't an issue.
Blume: Council Woman Strader, fair question. I don't really know where to look, so I'm
just going to look at your seat, because I'm staring down the -- fair question and that's
definitely an innovative idea that I think that we could look at. To put a number value on
the number of conversations that happen is -- is kind of challenging. Oftentimes they
are spontaneous, other times they are booked or scheduled. There are also -- with, you
know, the advent of teams and Zoom meetings and stuff -- when you have three people
on different Zoom calls or a phone call in a narrow hallway with three people it's a bit of
a distraction. We have used some adaptive technology where people are wearing
headsets in their -- in their workspaces. We -- we have thought about putting up shower
curtains just to kind of isolate, so that people can feel a sense of a little bit of privacy.
But to -- to put a number on how many private conversations need to take place or do
take place in a day -- in one day maybe it's three and the next day it's ten and, then, the
third day it's zero. So, I don't really have a definitive answer on that one for you.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: I understand and I'm sorry you can't see me. It must be weird. I'm like a little
voice looming above you. I don't mean to do that. You know. So, if I were to make a
suggestion -- my concern would be -- we are going to -- we are going to do this half
million dollar build out and every supervisor gets an office, but that really doesn't set us
up going forward; right? If every supervisor has to have an office. And so what I would
suggest for the team as -- you know, looking at the renovation is, you know, there is a
concept where you can have these kind of -- they are like small booths and they are
soundproof where people can book them and it's kind of like a hotel desk that you can
book, so a private conference room, and just making that available to city employees
generally to have confidential conversations. So, you know, we could build out some
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 16 of 22
offices for supervisors. It makes sense to me that we need to do that as part of the
renovation. But think a little bit about, you know, shared spaces that could be used for
confidential conversations, so that we are not just constantly building offices every time
we hire a new supervisor, because we are going to run out of space and it seems like
we need -- we need a concept that's going to be a little more scalable.
Simison: Well, and -- and what we have tried -- we have tried to -- to your point, we --
we have tried to put into what is the appropriate level for each department. Is it okay for
some departments to have supervisors or not or to treat our -- our different employees
equally and so we try to come up with a proposal that, you know, size of space, those
elements through that process and this is one of those things. To your point, that's what
IT is currently doing with their three supervisors. They have a conference room across
the hallway that they go and utilize for these conversations. Fire does have a small
conference room or a large conference room that they can use for these conversations
and the costs are -- I mean this has been my biggest struggle. You can ask the team.
have been struggling with all of this, because I don't believe the numbers. I cannot
personally believe that these are the real costs to do what we are talking about doing. It
blows my mind just from a very frank standpoint. And I -- I -- but I feel like if we don't
proof up some of this, then, we will never know and part of the conversation that we are
not having today is we do want to look at this at a larger on -- on -- say, for example, the
entire third floor or looking at different segments to help have these larger
conversations. I have seen the booths that you talk about. C Squared Social has these
awesome booths that you can use that are phone booths. They are not -- you can't put
two people on them, but for -- to do a private meeting I think that those are things that
maybe are in addition to the cubicles that exist, so people can step into them. So,
don't know what the final answer is, but engaging an architect is the way to try to help
define some of this and, yeah, I'm -- I struggle with the cost every -- every time I -- I look
at TIs in this building and that's why we put off TIs in the Mayor's Office for the last two
years, because we -- I just couldn't stomach the -- the -- the cost of bringing stuff
forward. But the fire department does seem to be in a little bit different situation where
we don't have enough space and part of this is to space plan that entire -- if I'm correct
does this get the entire fire department suite space planned or just the offices. So, this
is just for the offices, but you would likely see a budget amendment in 2024 that could
do the entire fire space. But we didn't have a good number for you and I know Council
doesn't like things that aren't a good number, so I could only bring forward a good
number for you today, because the architects couldn't get us the real number for the rest
to do the entire Fire Department in a timely fashion, for example. So, I'm trying to
respect the budget time frames that we are under, Council's desire to have real costs
and not guesstimates where we can, but at the same time move the conversation
forward if we can and if -- if Council says no, then, we will figure out stuff over the next
five months and -- or four months at least and see if we can come up with a better
approach or cost. But the cost are a struggle for me every time I -- I have the
conversation over TI. Just ask anybody on the team.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 17 of 22
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Sorry. And, then, I will stop talking, because I feel like I'm the only one right
now. But I -- I would feel better about it if the plan was, you know, we have agreement
every director should have an office and, you know, every -- I don't know two
supervisors, three supervisors, whatever the matrix is, should have access to, you
know, a department level private conference room to have those conversations. I'm just
-- I'm kind of hoping that out of the process if we had kind of commitment to look at
shared spaces as part of this I would feel a little bit better about it. I -- I -- I'm okay with
the 50,000 to study it, but I hope that we can look at shared spaces as part of the work.
I'm just -- it's the 500,000 dollars that I'm really choking on and having a really hard time
with, so --just like you are, so --
McVey: And we can certainly, as part of the design process, ask them for some cost
estimates for some of those shared spaces and -- but it would likely be, you know, if we
are talking about building walled conference rooms it's -- it's going to be in that similar
price -- similar, you know, to what the Mayor shared. We do our best getting price
estimates. However, without a bid set or drawings contractors have a really hard time
giving us a price estimate. So, we have -- we have reached out, we have utilized
resources and we keep getting these ballpark numbers and so, really, we are kind of at
that sticking point of -- we have to at least get through the design to be able to come
back to you guys -- and go out to bid to be able to come back to you guys with a real
construction budget. So, we definitely have a stopgap in place where we can have
more conversation about the actual construction. But we need to get through the
design phase.
Simison: Yeah. We -- we won't get any construction until -- came in and do a budget
amendment until October in that regard. So, there will definitely have to be more
conversation about what is found or done and whatnot and it's -- we -- when we built out
the second floor space where the Congressman's office currently is, I think that was a
90,000 dollar TI for the entire space in 2009. 1 just -- it -- it -- it blows my mind when we
were talking about this and I have -- I have offered to come in and do the demo work
myself, but they say we are not allowed to do that. I'm serious. I'm like we can't demo,
we can't do anything to reduce the cost and the answer is, no, we are not allowed to. I
don't understand it, but I suppose if I run through a wall on accident does that count?
So -- sorry.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Yeah. I -- I think we all agree it -- it is perplexing about the cost. I think we
can look for other options that might help we hope save some dollars, but we have to
begin this first step. So, I -- I -- I would move that we approve the fiscal year 2023
budget amendment in the amount of 48,950 dollars for City Hall tenant improvements.
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 18 of 22
Overton: Second.
Simison: I have a motion and a second to approve the budget amendment. Is there
further discussion? If not, Clerk will call the roll.
Roll Call: Hoaglun, yea; Borton, yea; Cavener, absent; Perreault, absent; Strader, yea;
Overton, yea.
Simison: All ayes. Motion carries and the item is agreed to and we hope we can bring
costs and efficiencies down, just put it that way.
MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT.
23. Public Works: Cost of Service Study and Proposed Fiscal Year 2024
Water and Sewer Fees
Simison: Okay. With that we will move on to Item 23, Public Works cost of service
study and proposed fiscal year 2024 water and sewer fees.
McVey: Okay. All right. Well, we are working on pulling up some slides, so my
presentation is twofold for you tonight. The first is to discuss the results of our cost of
service study and, then, the second is to give you guys the proposal for the water and
sewer utility rate increase for FY-24. So, the first question is what is a cost of service
study. So, essentially, we worked in 2022 with FCS. They are a national consultant that
has expertise in municipal rates. We worked with the city's Finance team and the Public
Works Department to essentially look at our projected revenues, our projected
expenses, make sure that our rate structures are legally defensible -- defensible and,
then, make sure that we are capturing and allocating costs fairly. So, one of the things
that was really important for us to achieve with this was the assessment fee -- you may
have heard of the Loomis method. It was a case law that happened in Idaho related to
assessments and make sure that our assessment fee is lined up with the way that that
case concluded and, then, we also had the group look at a couple of special interest
topics related to Finance, but they were -- what would it look like if we developed
customer classes in Meridian? So, currently all customers, whether you are residential,
business, sprinklers, everybody is charged the same rate structure. What would it look
like if we split the funds? So, currently today we just have the Enterprise Fund and
should we split that into a Water Fund and a Sewer Fund? And, then, our third one was
do we need to start looking at funding significant infrastructure replacements. So, you
may hear on the news sometimes that, you know, infrastructure is failing around the
U.S. Do we need to start saving for huge future water and sewer line replacements.
The good news on that one is our system is still very new and very young and the
consultant did not think that we needed to start investing in that significantly today.
Okay. So, slide two, please. Okay. So, hopefully, you guys can see those, because I
can't up here, but -- so, what did the cost of service study show us? Well, the good
news is the Enterprise Fund is healthy. That's great news for us. But we will likely need
rate increases to maintain that over the next period. Part of that is just the cost of
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 19 of 22
keeping up with inflationary cost of doing business. It did look at our processes and
methodologies for establishing rates and fees and determine that those are also legally
sound, especially after we updated our assessment fees back in 2022 to align with the
Loomis method, we are on sound ground as far as our rates and fees. The other thing
that was really great is it validated that our city rate model tool is very accurate and a
very good predictive tool to show us what revenue is coming in, what expenses are
going out and what potential rate increases could look like. So, the cost of service study
recommended a few things. So, the very first was update our assessment fees. We
completed that in November of 2022, because it was the highest priority item. It also
recommended that we review and update our rates annually to maintain fund solvency.
We did bring you a rate increase in June of 2022 last year and I am proposing one
today. A couple of the other things that recommended was considering a fund split and
it says consider, because it's important to know that isn't required, but it is a good
financial practice. It also told us to consider looking at changing what fees go into the
base rate versus the use rate. So, there is some fees -- or some costs that vary
depending on how much water we produce or how much sewer we treat. Some costs
are there no matter what we -- no matter what we process and so for stuff that is not
volumetric dependent you could put that on the base. The more cost that you put on
the base the more stable your revenue source can also be. The study also
recommended looking at considering customer classes. Again this is a
recommendation, not a requirement. Like I mentioned, currently all of our customers
are -- are charged the same way, which is -- is probably okay. So, 73 percent of our
customers are residential. So, that's the bulk of our customers. One of the things -- and
we have -- we have a plan to look at this, but one of the things is a challenge with our
billing software. So, the more complex you make your rate structures the more of an
administrative burden it is to -- to split these up to make sure that you are assessing
things the right way. We are unsure if our current billing system is even capable of
creating these customer classes. So, those are some things we need to look into over
the next several years. So, our implementation plan for cost of service -- do -- I see it
now. Do you want me to -- if I click on it in here -- okay. All right. So, our
implementation plan -- so, for FY-24 we are coming forward with a rate increase
proposal. Also important to know that our ten year EPA fee sunsets at the end of FY-24.
The study recommended, as is our Finance Department and our recommendation, to let
that fee sunset. It was a ten year fee. It did accomplish what it needed to accomplish,
but their recommendation is if we need additional revenue because of regulatory
requirements we just build that into our regular rate structure. And, then, in FY-24 we
would also like to evaluate the customer class and the base versus use costs. Dig a
little bit more into our billing software and really decide if the extra effort is -- is worth -- if
there is -- you know, the administrative effort is worth splitting up those class structures
and what that would look like and we can bring that information forward to you before
we make any decisions there. Going forward FY-25 we would recommend we continue
every year to evaluate whether we need rate increases. We recommend every three
years that we look at our assessment fees and, then, we will also proceed in alignment
with Finance on the Enterprise Fund split in FY-25. Going forward assessment fees
every three years and, then, reviewing the cost of service study every five years, just to
make sure that it's kept up to date. So, our FY-24 rate increase proposal. So, we have
Meridian City Council Work Session
July 11,2023
Page 20 of 22
-- we really haven't had many rate increases. In fact, only two over the last ten years.
So, we had a two percent increase in October of 2014 and we had a two percent
increase in June of 2022. We are proposing a three percent increase effective October
of 2023 and this would be to both the use and the base of the water and the sewer.
What this equates to is about $1.91 per month increase for the average Meridian
resident and we will talk a little bit about why we need that. So, this slide is a little bit
busy, but it shows you what our current rates are for the average customer and it also
shows you what our current assessment fees are. This is our Enterprise Fund internal
rate model graph. A couple of things. So, the orange line is our total ending fund
balance and our black line is our -- our balance after we take out reserves. So, our goal
with a couple of things that are really important is we maintain the save before you
spend philosophy. We are currently in a -- in a planned spend period. We also think
stability of the fund and stability of rate increases is really important. So, we don't want
to, you know, go back and forth doing huge rate increases, no rate increases. So, what
you will see here is there is a pretty significant drawdown in the first few years and the
reason not to panic is we have a couple of really big wastewater projects that I really
feel like need to get bid out, so we know the dollar figures. The other thing is this rate
model is run with a hundred percent execution. We generally do not achieve that. Our
historic is usually around 60. So, we are not going to spend all that money as quickly as
-- as the model forecasts. So, we do feel like we need an adjustment if at -- for no other
reason to, then, just keeping up with inflationary pressures. Things like chemicals,
electricity, fuel have all gone up immensely. Those are huge costs for our utilities. But
both us and the Finance Department are not significantly concerned on the capital side
with that drop. We think it's prudent to ask for this small increase now, see how those
projects actually pan out and, then, come back to you again next year with additional
potential increases if needed. So, this is what our model looks like if we implement the
rate increase. So, you will see it pushes that line out just a little bit. It still allows us to
bid those large projects. This model does take into account the sunsetting of the EPA
fee in FY-24 and another thing to note we are very competitive as far as utility rates in
the Treasure Valley. So, these are rates as they sit today across the Treasure Valley
and it will show you Meridian's rates with where we are today and, then, with the
proposed three percent increase. The reason we can be in this is because of the really
careful financial planning that we do with our Finance Department and Mayor is
forecasting our needs for the next period, saving before we spend and not getting into
debt financing really helps us stay at these low levels. However, we also recognize that
any rate increase does impact some of our customers. So, just wanted to let everybody
know that there are a couple of programs that Meridian offers. The first is our Meridian
CARES program, which offers up to a hundred dollars of financial assistance. We
partner with EI-Ada on that, but a hundred dollars per year to help pay residents who
meet the financial thresholds for their water, sewer and garbage bills. And, then, there
are other programs that are outside of the city that are available for utility assistance.
The Boise School District has a really good resource manual that links you to different
programs that can help you with utility bill payments. Just for reference in FY-22 we
assisted 81 customers with our CARES program.
Hoaglun: Hey, Mayor?

Simison: Councilman Borton.
Borton: So, real quick question. Laurelei, is that one hundred dollar a figure that we
create or is it some program cap?
McVey: I do not know the answer to that. Todd?
Lavoie: Mr. Mayor, Council Member Borton, EI-Ada is the one that's in charge of
negotiating or discussing the reimbursement or the funding rates between the customer
and EI-Ada itself. We will fund EI-Ada on the back end, but we let them manage that
discussion between each individual unique customer situation.
Borton: Okay. Good. Thank you.
McVey: So, what our proposed schedule looks like -- so, we are proposing that we hold
a public hearing on August 15th. We would notice that in the next two utility bills that go
out, as well as in the newspaper the two weeks prior to that and, then, hold the public
hearing and assuming that we received approval we would implement this rate increase
on October 1st. So, with that I will stand for any questions about either the cost of
service study or the FY-24 increase proposal.
Simison: Thank you, Laurelei. Council, questions? Okay. Well, thank you very much.
Appreciate it. And I know it won't be the last time to comment on definitely the rate side
of things and others as they come forward. So, appreciate it.
McVey: Thank you.

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Modification to the final plat to reduce the number of single-family building lots from 33 to 31 on
10.85 acres of land in the R-4 zoning district for Biltmore Estates Subdivision No.4.
II. APPLICANT INFORMATION
A. Applicant:
Engineering Solutions— 1029 N. Rosario St., Ste. 100,Meridian, ID 83642
B. Owner:
Oakwood Estates,LLC—PO Box 518, Meridian, ID 83680
C. Representative:
Becky McKay,Engineering Solutions— 1029 N. Rosario St., Ste. 100,Meridian,ID 83642
III. STAFF ANALYSIS
The final plat(FP-2022-0007) for Phase 4 was approved by City Council on March 22,2022 but has
not yet been recorded.The Applicant proposes to reduce the number of single-family residential
building lots by two(2) from 33 to 31 to combine four(4)lots into two(2)lots in order to provide
desired lot configurations for planned homes (see affected lots in Exhibit V.A). The amount and
location of common open space remains the same as previously approved.
Because the proposed change does not affect the gross density of the overall development,which is
3.63 units per acre, and complies with the dimensional standards of the R-4 district, Staff is amenable
to the proposed modification.

IV. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS (Comprehensive Plan)
Land Use: The Future Land Use Map(FLUM)contained in the Comprehensive Plan designates this
property as Mixed Use—Community(MU-C).
The purpose of the MU-C designation is to allocate areas where community-serving uses and
dwellings are seamlessly integrated into the urban fabric. The intent is to integrate a variety of uses,
including residential, and to avoid mainly single-use and strip commercial type buildings.Non-
residential buildings in these areas have a tendency to be larger than in Mixed Use Neighborhood
(MU-N) areas,but not as large as in Mixed Use Regional(MU-R) areas. Goods and services in these
areas tend to be of the variety that people will mainly travel by car to,but also walk or bike to (up to
three or four miles). Employment opportunities for those living in and around the neighborhood are
encouraged. Developments are encouraged to be designed according to the conceptual MU-C plan
depicted in Figure 3C.
Sample uses appropriate in MU-C areas include: All MU-N categories, community grocer,clothing
stores, garden centers,hardware stores,restaurants,banks,drive-thru facilities, auto service station,
and retail shops, and other appropriate community-serving uses. Sample zoning include: R-15,R-40,
TN-R, TN-C, C-C, and L-O.
Proposed Development: The Applicant proposes to develop the site with two (2)land use types—
small-scale commercial(includes retail,restaurants, drive-through pharmacy, etc.)and residential(i.e.
multi-family residential). The site is designed for commercial uses along Eagle Road, an arterial
street,with 131 multi-family residences for a gross density of 11 units per acre and a net density of
12.4 units per acre located to the north and east of the commercial pads. The site includes a mix of 1-
bedroom duplex-style multi-family units,2 and 3-bedroom bungalow-style multi-family units, and 2
and 3-bedroom townhome-style multi-family units with open space integrated throughout. The
proposed development is generally consistent with the conceptual MU-C plan in the Comprehensive
Plan.
In reviewing development applications,the following items will be considered in all Mixed-Use
areas,per the Comprehensive Plan(pg.3-13): (Staff's analysis in italics)
Page 6
• "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 proposed 13.60-acre development includes two types of land uses—commercial and
residential. The Inglewood Subdivision along the south boundary is also designated MU-C
and the City has approved a restaurant w/drive-through and a daycare on this site.
Therefore, staff is supportive of the site developing with two land uses types as proposed.
Since one of the buildings will be multi-tenant building, staff does anticipate other
commercial uses developing on the property.
• "Where appropriate,higher density and/or multi-family 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."
The proposed development includes 131 multi family units at a gross density of 11 units per
acre. The multi family portion of the project is located along east side of Eagle Road. An
employment destination center is not desired due to the size of the property; however, other
neighborhood commercial uses could develop on the commercial lots which may encourage a
walkable environment and provide additional services for the area.
• "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 site plan was submitted with the annexation request, included in Section VII.B.A
Development Agreement is required that binds future development to this plan.
• "hi 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 conceptual development plan does not depict common usable open space for the
commercial portion of the development. Staff recommends that the Applicant re-orientate the
buildings to create some form of common usable area between the commercial buildings and
the common lot directly south of the clubhouse and pool.A decorative crosswalk should also
be used to delineate the connectivity through the private street and continued through the
commercial parking lot to the existing 7-foot sidewalk along Eagle Rd.
• "The site plan should depict a transitional use and/or landscaped buffering between
commercial and existing low-or medium-density residential development."
The applicant has oriented the commercial next to commercial uses approved with the
Inglewood Subdivision to the south.As a transition to the existing residential on the north/east
and south boundary, the applicant is proposing two-story townhomes on the south boundary
adjacent to the larger assisted living facility and orienting single-story duplex and single
detached units along the east and north boundaries.
• "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 such uses are specifically proposed in this development—the tenants of the commercial
buildings are unknown at this time. From north to south, the larger MU-C area includes
storage, an office park, single-family residential, two (2)planned daycares, assisted living,
two coffee shops w/drive-throughs, and a Rite Aid.
Page 7
• "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."
There are no public and/or quasi public spaces or places proposed with this development. As
noted above, the applicant should include a plaza area in the commercial area that ties in with
the open space south of the clubhouse and pool. A decorative pedestrian crossing would also
help integrate the two open spaces. A pedestrian connectivity should also be provided to the
existing 7-foot sidewalk adjacent to Eagle Rd.
• "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."
See analysis above.
• "All mixed-use projects should be directly accessible to neighborhoods within the section by
both vehicles and pedestrians."
The proposed commercial portion of the development is directly accessible to the multi family
residential portion of the development to the north/east, the single-family developments further
to the north and east(Bancroft Square Sub. &Sutherland Farm Sub. No. 2) by both vehicles
and pedestrians.
• "Alleys and roadways should be used to transition from dissimilar land uses, and between
residential densities and housing types."
A landscape buffer is proposed between the proposed multi family and existing single-family
developments to the north/east and to the assisted living facility located to the south as a
transition and buffer between uses. The buffers are between 15 and 20 feet respectively.
Further, the applicant has intentionally placed the one-story duplex and single detached units
along the north and east boundary to ensure compatibility.
• "Because of the parcel configuration within Old Town, development is not subject to the
Mixed-Use standards listed herein."
The subject property is not located in Old Town; therefore, this item is not applicable.
In reviewing development applications,the following items will be considered in MU-C
areas,per the Comprehensive Plan(pgs.3-16 thru 3-17):
• Development should generally comply with the general guidelines for development in all
Mixed-Use areas.
Staffs analysis on the proposed project's compliance with these guidelines is included above.
• Residential uses should comprise a minimum of 20%of the development area at gross
densities ranging from 6 to 15 units/acre. There is neither a minimum nor maximum imposed
on non-retail commercial uses such as office,clean industry, or entertainment uses.
Residential uses are proposed over 87.8%(11.94 acres) of the development area at an
overall gross density of 11 units/acre, consistent with the density desired in MU-C designated
Page 8
areas.
• Retail commercial uses should comprise a maximum of 50%of the development area.
Retail/commercial uses are only proposed to comprise of 12.2%(1.66 acres) of the
development area in accord with this policy.
Comprehensive Plan Policies: The following Comprehensive Plan Policies are applicable to this
development:
• "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 retail/commercial uses should be compatible with the existing commercial to
the south. The proposed multi family development should be compatible with existing single-
family residential uses to the north in Bancroft Square Subdivision, to the east in Sutherland
Farm Subdivision No.1, and to the south in the Inglewood Place Senior Housing with the
proposed separation in uses by fencing and landscaping to minimize conflicts between higher
and lower density residential.
• "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." (3.06.0213)
The proposed development will provide housing in close proximity to goods, services, and
employment. This area of Meridian is predominately detached single-family dwelling units.
• "Require pedestrian circulation plans to ensure safety and convenient access across large
commercial and mixed-use developments."(3.07.02A)
The development plan depicts pedestrian pathways throughout the commercial and multi-
family residential development. Staff recommends the applicant relocate the trash enclosure
located on the north side of the parking lot east of the pool and install a 5-foot wide sidewalk
to provide a more direct connection to the children's play structure. Five-foot wide detached
sidewalks are being extended as part of the local street network(Sutherland Farm, Bancroft
Square, and Inglewood Place Senior Housing)for interconnectivity.
• "With new subdivision plats,require the design and construction of pathway connections,
easy pedestrian and bicycle access to parks, safe routes to schools, and the incorporation of
usable open space with quality amenities."(2.02.01A)
Safe pathway connections should be provided from the proposed multi family development to
the commercial buildings.As noted above staff recommends the applicant provide a
Page 9
decorative crossing. Usable open space and quality amenities are proposed with the multi-
family development that exceed UDC standards (see analysis below).
• "Evaluate the feasibility of annexing existing county enclaves and discourage the creation of
additional enclaves."(3.03.03I)
This property is an enclave that abuts City annexed land to the north, south, east, and west.
Here is the applicant's justification on how the project complies with some of the policies in the plan:
Section Comprehensive Plan Goal and Project Compliance
2.01.01 Encourage diverse housing options suitable for various income levels,
household sizes and lifestyle preferences.
Artisan Victory Market will include mix of f-bedroom duplex. 2-,& 3-
bedroom bungalow-sole multi famdy units and 2-&3-bedroom
tawnhome-style multi family units,providing diversity within the Project
and also diversify from nearby single-family detached residences.Artisan
Victoty Market will offer a variety ofamenwes to cater to the different
recreational bobbies of residents and fo foster a sense of community.
2.01.01 E Encourage the development of high-quality,dense residential and mixed-
use areas near,in,and around Downtown near employment,large
shopping centers,public open spaces and parks,and along major
transportation corridors,as shown on the Future Land Use Map.
This project provides medium high-density residential units that
complement and provide a transition between the commercial and
employment areas to the south on Victory and to the north closer to 1--84,
and the single-family residences to the north and east. The area has been
largely developed in compliance with the larger Mixed-Use Community
area, and the mix of surrounding employment and retail uses will benefit
from the addition of higher densuy residential homes.
2.02.01 A With new subdivision plats,require the design and construction of
pathways connections,easy pedestrian and bicycle access to parks,safe
routes to schools and the incorporation of usable open space with quality
amenities.
Artisan Victory Market is a connected community with pathways that
connect the residential development to the north and east with the more
intensive commercial and retail uses to the soufh_ The project includes
over L6 miles of internal pathways and sidewalks an public streets,and
qualay amenities including a ciuhhouse,fitness room,swimming pool and
community garden.
2.02.02C Support infill development that does not negatively impact the abutting,
existing development.
Artisan lrictory Market has been designed to minimise impact an the
surrounding neighborhoods with 2-sfory residences on the north and east
boundaries_
3.{}3.0D Direct and prioritize development in strategic areas and in accordance
with corridor and special area plans.
Page 10
As an infill site with all services readily available,Artisan Victory Market
exemplifies the vision of the Mixed-Use Community designation by
providing a well-designed, interconnected living and commercial space
where people can live,work,sloop,and raise a family all within the same
community_
3.06.02E 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 sus(ainability
This mixed-usesproject fosters the mired-use environment of the larger
area by complementing the surrounding commercial,retail, and single-
family detached residential uses. Planned and developed commercial and
employment centers are within walking distance of the Site.Artisan
Victory Market residents can shop,dine,plan and work in close proximity
and reduce vehicle trips in the area. This Project will increase the overall
fivabilio)and sustainability of the surrounding area by providing much
needed housing that will help nearby businesses thrive with a permanent
customer base.
3.07.01 A Require all new development to create a site design compatible with
surrounding uses through buffering,screening,transitional densities,and
other best site design practices.
Smaller commercial and multi-family residential provides an appropriate
transition beiween the C C retail and commercial uses to the south and
Eagle Road to the west,and the single-family residences to the east and
north_ The Site integrates higher density buildings along Eagle Road and
the commercial areas to the south and provides single-level duplex and
bungalow-style multi family units along the north and east adjacent to the
single-family homes.Fencing screens the projeci from surrounding
developments_
6.01.01 H Require pedestrian access connectors in all new development to link
subdivisions together and promote neighborhood connectivity as part of a
community pathway system.
With approximately L6 miles of internal paih woj)s and detached
sidewalks,Artisan Victory Market provides necessary connectivity
between current and future developments and uses an all sides of the
property.
In summary, Staff believes the proposed development plan is generally consistent with the vision of the
Comprehensive Plan for this area per the analysis above.
V. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE ANALYSIS (UD
The applicant has submitted a revised open space exhibit 15 days prior to the Council meeting. The
analysis below has been updated in strike-through and underline format to represent the changes
to the open space and changes discussed with the Commission during the hearing.
A. Annexation:
The proposed annexation is for 14.47 acres of land with R-15 (12.38 acres)and C-C zoning(2.09
acres)districts. The proposed use of the property may include up to 18,100 square feet of
commercial uses (tenants unknown) and 131 multi-family residential units on 13.60 acres in the
C-C and R-15 districts. Parking for the multi-family development is discussed further in the
report however the conceptual development plan does depict 55 parking stalls for the commercial
Page 11
lots. Based on the square footage of the proposed commercial development,the UDC only
requires a minimum of 36 stalls.
A conceptual development plan was submitted, included in Section VILB below that shows how
the overall property is planned to develop. Based on the analysis above in Section IV, Staff is of
the opinion the proposed annexation,zoning and development plan is generally consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan with the provisions noted in Section VIII as discussed herein.
A multi-family development requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit(CUP)in the R-15
zoning district, subject to the specific use standards for such listed in UDC 11-4-3-27.
Commercial/retail uses and drive-through uses are listed as a principally permitted uses in the C-
C zoning district per UDC Table 11-2B-2. However,the proposed drive-through associated
with the southern-most commercial building will require the approval of a CUP because of
its proximity to the proposed and existing residential uses. Staff is supportive of a drive-
through on this site however,the commercial area is more neighborhood serving and
therefore the site should be restricted to only developing one drive-through on the property
as proposed.
The proposed uses and zoning districts are listed as appropriate uses and zoning in the
Comprehensive Plan for the MU-C designated area.
The property is contiguous to City annexed land and is within the City's Area of City Impact
boundary. A legal description and exhibit map of the overall annexation area is included in
Section VII.A.
The City may require a development agreement(DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant
to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. To ensure future development is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and with the development plan proposed with this application, Staff
recommends a DA is required with this application,containing the provisions noted in
Section VIII.A, as discussed herein.
B. Preliminary Plat:
The proposed preliminary plat consists of 5 building lots (3 multi-family and 2 commercial) and 1
common lot on 13.60 acres of land in the R-15 and C-C zoning districts.
The proposed subdivision will develop in a single phase. However, for occupancy purposes,the
applicant is proposing 6 phases for the multi-family portion of the development.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
There are existing homes and outbuildings that need to be removed with development of the
property. Since the project is being phased staff anticipates the removal of the structures with the
first phase.
Dimensional Standards:
Development of the proposed lots are required to comply with the dimensional standards listed in
UDC Tables 11-2A-7 for the R-15 district and UDC Table 11-2B-3 for the C-C zoning district.
The minimum lot size in the R-15 zone(no minimum lot size in the C-C zone) size is not
pertinent to this development because the applicant is proposing multiple units on larger parcels.
The CUP site plan doesn't depict any setbacks on the plan. Per the specific use standards, a
minimum setback of 10 feet is required unless a greater setback is required by the UDC. In the
applicant's narrative it states that the units along the north and south boundary have a 15-foot
setback and the units along the east boundary have a 20-foot buffer which exceeds code
requirements. Further,the applicant has provided all single-story units adjacent to the existing
single-family homes therefore staff is supportive of the setbacks along these boundaries. For
Page 12
those units along Eagle Rd.,the code requires a 25-foot landscape buffer in a common lot and
those units adjacent to the buffer should be setback 10 feet from the interior edge of the buffer.
The other units adjacent to Titanium and Publisher are required to have a 10-foot setback to living
area.None of the garages are oriented towards the street. NOTE! As discussed below the
applieant has ineluded the 15 foot setbaek areas along the south boundaFy in their-qualified
open spnee ealeulations.This area does not eount towaFds qualified open spaee unless i
dimensioned a minimum of 20 feet(see analysis below).
Subdivision Design and Improvement Standards(UDC 11-6C-3):
Development of the subdivision is required to comply with the subdivision design and
improvement standards listed in UDC 11-6C-3. The project complies with these standards.
Access(UDC 11-3A-3)
A private street is proposed via S. Eagle Rd., an arterial street.No stub streets are required or
proposed for this application. The site does have three(3) existing stub streets that are proposed
to be extended with this development. This critical because most of the residential units and the
commercial uses will take access from an internal private street.The extension of the local street
connection will allow traffic to flow better through this site to the signalized intersection at Easy
Jet and not rely solely on the Eagle Rd. access.
The units located on the east side of Titanium take access from shared driveways.Although not
classified as common driveways,the applicant should provide at a minimum 20-foot driveways to
ensure vehicles can access the designed garage spaces associated with those units.With the CZC
application the applicant should demonstrate compliance with this requirement.
Cross-access/ingress-egress should be provided between all C-C zoned commercial lots in
the subdivision and the Inglewood commercial uses to south via a note on the final plat.
A private street application was submitted with this application for the internal private streets.
Private streets are required to comply with the design and construction standards listed in UDC
11-3F-4. Staff has reviewed these standards a-ad it appears the A-1ppheafil ean eemply wi
star ar-ds o pt for-the f llowing:

eomplianee applieation 15 days prior-to the City Couneil hearing.if the portion of Since the
Eagle Road access is not part of the private street network,the applicant should depict the
ingress/egress easement on the face of the plat to allow access to the platted private streets.
Further,the plat should be revised to place the private street in a common lot rather than
an easement.
Page 13
Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17):
A 7-foot attached sidewalk exists along Eagle Rd. and will remain as part of the development.
Where there are existing driveways being closed,the applicant is required to install curb, gutter,
sidewalk and landscaping per UDC standards. Five-foot detached sidewalks are proposed along
the internal local streets. Internal sidewalks are dispersed throughout the multi-family
development. Staff has concerns with the residential units on the east side of Titanium Ave,
specifically pedestrian safety. The residents on this side of the roadway will need to cross the
street to gain access to the main amenities. Staff recommends that the applicant coordinate
with ACHD and include decorative crossings through this roadway and provide traffic
calming at the Titanium and Publisher intersection.
Landscaping(UDC 11-3B):
Street buffers are required to be provided as follows: A minimum 25-foot wide buffer is required
along S. Eagle Rd. and a minimum 10-foot wide buffer is required along the private street in the
C-C zoning district(east side of the southern-most building),measured per the standards listed in
UDC 11-3B-7C.1 a. Landscaping is required within the street buffer as set forth in UDC H-
3B-7C(see updated standards). Street buffers are required to be maintained by the property
owner or business owners' association and should be depicted on the plat in a common lot
or permanent dedicated buffer per UDC 11-3B-7C.2b.
Depict landscaping within common open space areas as set forth in UDC 11-3G5B.3.
There are existing trees on the site to be removed or that require mitigation. The landscape plan
submitted with the final plat should include the detail mitigation plan in accord with UDC
11-3B-10.
Storm Drainage(UDC 11-3A-I81:
An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments in accord with the City's
adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction are required to follow
Best Management Practices as adopted by the City. Stormwater integration is required in accord
with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-11 C.
Pressure Irrigation(UDC 11-3A-157:
Underground pressurized irrigation water is required to be provided in the subdivision as required
in UDC 11-3A-15.
Utilities(UDC 11-3A-21):
Utilities are required to be provided to the subdivision as required in UDC 11-3A-21. Street lights
shall be installed in accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances.
Waterways(UDC 11-3A-6):
No major facilities traverse the site. Comment letters from the irrigation districts indicate they
don't have any facilities on this property but the property does have a valid right. Per Idaho State
Statues,Title 42, local irrigation/drainage ditches that cross this property, in order to serve
neighboring properties,must remain unobstructed and protected by an appropriate easement by
the landowner, developer, and contractors.
Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6 and 11-3A-D:
All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. The applicant has
provided a master fence plan that depicts the fencing styles and locations for the development. A
combination of 6-foot tall solid,4-foot with 2 foot open-vison and 6-foot tall wrought iron
fencing is proposed. With final plat submittal, any fencing proposed along Publisher and
Titanium should be installed 10 feet from the property line.
Page 14
C. Conditional Use Permit(CUP):
A Conditional Use Permit is requested for a multi-family residential development consisting of
131 dwelling units on 11.94 acres of land in the R-15 zoning district in accord with UDC Table
11-2B-2. The proposed development will have (24)2-story townhome units; (31)duplex units
and(45) single detached units and clubhouse centrally located within the complex. The mix of
units consisting of 1-(62),2-(53) and 3-(16)bedroom units ranging from 692 to 1,352 square
feet in size.
Specific Use Standards(UDC 11-4-3-27):
The proposed use is subject to the following standards: (Staff's analysis/comments in italic text)
11-4-3-27: MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT:
Site Design:
1. Buildings shall provide a minimum setback of ten feet(10')unless a greater setback is
otherwise required by this title and/or title 10 of this Code. Building setbacks shall take
into account windows, entrances,porches and patios, and how they impact adjacent
properties. The site plan included in Section VII.D depicts buildings a 20 foot buffer on
the east and a 1 S foot setback on the north and south.
2. All on-site service areas, outdoor storage areas,waste storage,disposal facilities, and
transformer and utility vaults shall be located in an area not visible from a public street,
or shall be fully screened from view from a public street. The plans submitted with the
Certificate of Zoning Compliance application should demonstrate compliance with this
standard.
3. A minimum of eighty(80) square feet of private,usable open space shall be provided for
each unit. This requirement can be satisfied through porches,patios, decks, and/or
enclosed yards. Landscaping, entryway and other access ways shall not count toward this
requirement. In circumstances where strict adherence to such standard would create
inconsistency with the purpose statements of this section,the Director may consider an
alternative design proposal through the alternative compliance provisions as set forth in
section 11-5B-5 of this title. The Applicant's narrative states the average private open
space for each unit is 353 sq.ft. Each duplex and detached single family unit include a
patio and private yard ranging in size from 509 sq.ft. to 681. sq.ft. The townhome units
each have 92 to 94 sq.ft. of private patio space. Staff finds each unit exceeds UDC
requirements.
4. For the purposes of this section,vehicular circulation areas,parking areas, and private
usable open space shall not be considered common open space. These areas were not
included in the common open space calculations for the site (see OS-1 Exhibit below).
5. No recreational vehicles, snowmobiles,boats or other personal recreation vehicles shall
be stored on the site unless provided for in a separate,designated and screened area. The
Applicant should comply with this requirement.
6. The parking shall meet the requirements set forth in chapter 3, "Regulations Applying to
All Districts",of this title. The parking ratio the applicant used to calculate parking for
this development doesn't meet the current multi family standards. However, this
application was submitted prior to the adoption of the new ordinance so staff has
analyzed the parking based on the previous standards. Based on the previous code the
site was required to provide 191 total parking stalls with 90 of those being covered.
Based on the parking calculations provided by the applicant, the residential portion of
the development will have 236 spaces (in combination of carports, surface, driveways
Page 15
and garages)which exceeds code requirements. Further, on-street parking
(approximately 50 spaces)will be available along Publisher and Titanium. The
commercial portion of the development will have 55 parking spaces. "'n�M.Ti. adog a 10 foot Wde landseape buffer on the east boundary of the sotithern
most eemmereial lot and a plaza amm.
7. Developments with twenty(20)units or more shall provide the following:
a. A property management office.
b. A maintenance storage area.
c. A central mailbox location, including provisions for parcel mail,that provide safe
pedestrian and/or vehicular access.
d. A directory and map of the development at an entrance or convenient location for
those entering the development. (Ord. 18-1773,4-24-2018)
The applicant's narrative states that they are providing the required items noted above.
The location of the directory and map of the development should be depicted on the site
plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application.
Common Open Space Design Requirements(UDC 11-4-3-27C):
The total baseline land area of all qualified common open space shall equal or exceed 10%
of the gross land area for multi-family developments of 5 acres of more.A minimum of 1.09
acres of common open is required to meet this standard.
Common open space areas are also required to comply with the standards listed in UDC I I-
4-3-27C.2,which state that open space areas must be integrated into the development as a
priority and not for the use of land after all other elements of the development have been
designed. These areas should have direct pedestrian access,be highly visible, comply with
CPTED standards and support a range of leisure and play activities and uses—irregular
shaped, disconnected or isolated open spaces do not meet the standard. Open space areas
should be accessible and well connected throughout the development(i.e. centrally located,
accessible by pathway and visually accessible along collector streets or as a terminal view
from a street). Open space areas should promote the health and well-being of its residents
and support active and passive uses for recreation, social gathering and relaxation to serve
the development. The proposed common open space meets these standards.
All multi-family projects over 20 units are required to provide at least one(1) common
grassy area of at least 5,000 s.f. in area that's integrated into the site design allowing for
general activities by all ages,which may be included in the minimum required open space.
The area shall increase proportionately as the number of units increase and shall be
commensurate to the size of the development as determined by the decision-making body.
The Applicant proposes five(5) central common open space areas throughout the
development in excess of this code requirement.
In addition to the baseline open space requirement,a minimum area of outdoor common
open space shall be provided as follows:
a. One hundred fifty(150) square feet for each unit containing five hundred(500)or
less square feet of living area.All units contain more than 500 square feet(sf.) of
living area.
Page 16
b. Two hundred fifty(250) square feet for each unit containing more than five hundred
(500) square feet and up to one thousand two hundred(1,200) square feet of living
area.A total of 91 units contain between 500 and 1,200 s.f of living area; therefore,
a minimum of 22,750 sf. (or 0.52 of an acre) of common open space is required.
c. Three hundred fifty(350) square feet for each unit containing more than one
thousand two hundred(1,200) square feet of living area.A total of 40 units contain
more than 1,200 sf.; therefore, a minimum of 14,000 sf. (or 0.32 acre) of common
open space is required.
At a minimum, a total of 36,750 sf. (or 0.84 of an acre) of qualified outdoor common
open space is required to be provided per this standard. In order to meet the baseline
requirement noted above and this standard, a total of 1.93 acres of qualified open space
is required(2.47 acres is provided). The revised open space exhibit submitted with
applieatienafter the Commission hearing exceeds the minimum code requirement
ftem the ealeulatiens as.thiy area doesn't meet Me minimum 20 feet dimens-iendl
Common open space shall be not less than four hundred(400) square feet in area, and shall
have a minimum length and width dimension of twenty feet(20').All of the green areas
depicted on the revised open space exhibit in Section VILE meet this requirement.
In phased developments,common open space shall be provided in each phase of the
development consistent with the requirements for the size and number of dwelling units.
The Applicant anticipates the multi family development will be constructed in 6 phases for
occupancy purposes.
Unless otherwise approved through the conditional use process,common open space areas
shall not be adjacent to collector or arterial streets unless separated from the street by a
berm or constructed barrier at least four feet(4') in height,with breaks in the berm or
barrier to allow for pedestrian access. (Ord. 09-1394, 3-3-2009,eff.retroactive to 2-4-2009)
None of the common open space areas are located adjacent to a collector or arterial street.
Site Development Amenities:
1. All multi-family developments shall provide for quality of life, open space and recreation
amenities to meet the particular needs of the residents as follows:
a. Quality of life:
(1) Clubhouse.

shall be provided from two (2) separate categories.
b. For multi-family development between twenty(20) and seventy-five (75)units,three
(3) amenities shall be provided,with one from each category.
c. For multi-family development with seventy-five (75)units or more, four(4)
amenities shall be provided,with at least one from each category.
d. For multi-family developments with more than one hundred(100)units,the decision-
making body shall require additional amenities commensurate to the size of the
proposed development.
3. The decision-making body shall be authorized to consider other improvements in
addition to those provided under this subsection D,provided that these improvements
provide a similar level of amenity. (Ord. 05-1170, 8-30-2005, eff. 9-15-2005)
Proposed amenities include a clubhouse with a fitness facility, a swimming pool, an
outdoor lounge area, dog park, internal walking trails, community garden and passive
open space areas.Another amenity should be included in the development since the
applicant is proposing over 100 units. Of the amenities included in the development,
there isn't one listed from the multi-modal category above. Therefore, staff recommends
that the applicant add one additional amenity from the multi-modal category above and
include the amenity on the site plan submitted with the certificate of zoning compliance
application.
E. Landscaping Requirements:
1. Development shall meet the minimum landscaping requirements in accord with chapter 3,
"Regulations Applying to All Districts", of this title.
2. All street facing elevations shall have landscaping along their foundation. The foundation

The landscape plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application
should depict landscaping in accord with these standards.
F. Maintenance and Ownership Responsibilities: All multi-family developments shall record
legally binding documents that state the maintenance and ownership responsibilities for the
management of the development, including,but not limited to, structures,parking, common
areas, and other development features. The Applicant shall comply with this requirement.
Building Elevations(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual):
Conceptual building elevations were submitted for the proposed residential and commercial
structures, included in Section VII.G. The residential units are proposed to be 1-or 2-stories in
height, and the clubhouse and commercial buildings are also proposed to be a single-story in
height;building materials consist of a stucco in various colors,culture stone accents in various
colors,horizontal lap siding, and asphalt shingle roofing. Both the residential and commercial
uses complement each other as desired in the MU-C designated area. Staff is supportive of the
design for the development as proposed.As noted below compliance with the ASM is required.
A Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review application is required to be
submitted for approval of the multi-family and commercial development to ensure
compliance with UDC standards and development provisions associated with this
application.Final design of all structures must comply with the design standards in the
Architectural Standards Manual.

V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
A. Future Land Use Map Designation(https://www.meridiancity.org/compplan)
Medium Density Residential—This designation allows for dwelling units at gross densities of
three to eight dwelling units per acre. Density bonuses may be considered with the provision of
additional public amenities such as a park, school,or land dedicated for public services.
The proposed annexation area is an undeveloped corner of land with existing medium-density
development to its west, east across Locust Grove, and north across Victory Road. Specifically,
this parcel of land is at the southwest corner of Victory Road and Locust Grove Road. There is
existing City of Meridian zoning to the west, east, and north located within the northeast corner
of the same intersection.All existing development directly adjacent to the subject site is zoned R-
8.
The proposed land use of single family detached residential would be consistent with the existing
surrounding dwelling units in the immediate area. Medium-Density Residential(MDR)allows
gross densities of 3-8 units per acre; the Applicant is proposing a gross density of 2.96 du/ac.
Staff finds that the proposed project meets the density requirements of the Comprehensive Plan.
B. Comprehensive Plan Policies(hgps://www.meridiancity.or /g compplan):
The applicable Comprehensive Plan policies are cited below with Staff analysis in italics.
"Avoid the concentration of any one housing type or lot size in any geographical area;provide for
diverse housing types throughout the City"(2.01.01 G). The proposed R-8 zoning and proposed
land use of single family detached homes will contribute to the variety of housing options in this
area and within the City as desired. Single-family detached homes currently surround the
proposed development.
"With new subdivision plats,require the design and construction of pathways connections, easy
pedestrian and bicycle access to parks, safe routes to schools, and the incorporation of usable
open space with quality amenities"(2.02.01 A). The Applicant is proposing a 5-foot sidewalk
along S. Locust Grove Road that connects to the 10 foot pathway proposed on the northeast of S.
Locust Grove and Victory Road. The 5-foot sidewalkproposed along S. Locust Grove Road is
required to be a 10 foot wide pathway connection to the newly proposed pathway to be built by
ACHD. In addition, the Applicant is proposing 5-foot sidewalks adjacent to the internal private
streets with connections to the path along S. Locust Grove and Victory Roads. These connections
create a continuous walking path through the development creating easy pedestrian and bicycle
access within and outside of the proposed development.
Despite the Ten Mile Creek qualifying as open space per the UDC, it is the majority of the
proposed open space and is not an active open space area. The Applicant has not been able to
enter into a license agreement with the irrigation district to beauty the creek but the code notes
Page 5
that this is one of the waterways encouraged to be left natural. There are other small pockets of
open space within this development that the Applicant can accommodate active uses and the
Applicant has chosen to place them throughout the project to encourage use by all future
residents; three of these areas are-large enough to be qualified open space(meets the 50'x 100'
requirement). Despite the inclusion of a large area of qualified open space in terms of the
percentage of the site, Stafffinds the proposed open space is in alignment with this policy.
"Reduce the number of existing access points onto arterial streets by using methods such as cross-
access agreements, access management, and frontage/backage roads, and promoting local and
collector street connectivity"(6.01.0213). Due to the triangle shape of this parcel and its location
being constrained directly by the Ten Mile Creek and two arterial streets, strict compliance with
this policy is not feasible. There are no streets (public or private)stubbed to this property and
this parcel also cannot stub to any other parcel due to these constraints. The Applicant is only
proposing one access for the development and is locating it as far away from the intersection as
physically possible. Despite not being able to comply with this policy, Staff acknowledges that
only one access to an arterial is proposed. The access to Victory Rd. is for emergency access
only.
"Require all new residential neighborhoods to provide complete streets,consistent with the
Transportation and Land Use Integration Plan."(2.02.01 Q. The Applicant is not proposing to
construct complete streets with this development and therefore does not comply with this policy.
Instead, the Applicant is proposing to construct private streets at their minimum standard width
of 24 feet with a 5-foot attached sidewalk on both sides of the street along the main access road,
shown as Compass Lane on the submitted plans. Both ACHD and the Applicant believe private
streets are the preferred street type in this development because there is no opportunity for road
connectivity to adjacent parcels due to the site constraints outlined above. The Applicant is not
required to construct private streets and public streets would be accepted by the highway district
if proposed as compliant with their standards. However,public streets require more right-of-way
than private streets and if this were to be constructed with public roads instead, a redesign of the
project would be required and would likely result in a large reduction in building lots and usable
land.
"Annex lands into the corporate boundaries of the City only when the annexation proposal
conforms to the City's vision and the necessary extension of public services and infrastructure is
provided."(3.03.03). The proposed development and use adhere to the vision established by the
underlying future land use designation in that it should offer an additional housing option for the
immediate area. Single-family detached homes are permitted in the R-8 zoning district.In
addition, all infrastructure extensions will be paid for by the Applicant and not the taxpayers.
"Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land."
(3.07.00). The proposed site design provides maximum use of the land with the proposed
residential dwelling types and should be compatible with the adjacent subject sites.
Staff finds this development to be generally consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies and
objectives.
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS
NOTE: On May 4,2023,the Planning and Zoning Commission continued this project to allow
the Applicant the opportunity to address the recommended conditions of approval proposed by
Page 6
Staff. Staff s analysis,exhibits,and conditions of approval have been updated to reflect the
changes to the plans as required by the Commission and Staff.
A. ANNEXATION(AZ)
The applicant proposes to annex 7.69 acres of land with an R-8 zoning district. A legal
description and exhibit map for the annexation area is included in Section VIII.A. The property is
contiguous to City annexed land and is within the City's Area of City Impact boundary.
A preliminary plat and conceptual building elevations were submitted showing how the property
is proposed to be subdivided and developed with 21 single-family residential detached dwelling
units at a gross density of 2.96 units per acre(see Sections VIII.B,E). The proposed use and
density of the development are consistent with the MDR FLUM designation.
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 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):
NOT-E: Staff r-eaehed out to the Applieant last week to diseuss r-eeommended r-evisions to the
plat and elevations prior-to the Commission hearing. To date, Staff has not r-eeeived a
response baek from the applieant.-Based on the analysis below sever-a!of StafVs
Commission wants to review the ehanges before maldng a r-eeommendation to City Counew,
Staff r-eeommends the Commission eontinue the appliention.
The proposed preliminary plat consists of 21 building lots and 6 common lots on 7.08 acres of
land in the proposed R-8 zoning district. Proposed lots range in size from 5,000 to 7,529 square
feet(s.£) (or 0.11 to 0.17 acres). The proposed gross density of the subdivision is 2.96 units per
acre. The subdivision is proposed to develop in one phase as shown in Section VIII.B.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements: An existing home and outbuilding on the subject
property are proposed to be removed with the development of this property. Prior to the City
Engineer's signature on the final plat, all existing structures are required to be removed.
Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2): The proposed plat and subsequent development are
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.
Private Streets/Access: Access for this development is proposed via a gated private street
connection to S. Locust Grove in the southeast corner of the site aligning with E. Coastline St. on
the east side of Locust Grove(the access into Tradewinds Subdivision). All private streets appear
to meet UDC dimensional standards for width,number of units,and turnarounds. However,the
private street standards prohibit connections to arterial roadways unless approved through
alternative compliance.Per UDC 11-3F-4.A.B.3, upon recommendation of the City Engineer
and Fire Marshal, the Director may approve, or recommend approval of alternative design or
construction standards when the applicant can demonstrate that the proposed overall design
meets or exceeds the intent of the required standards of this Article and shall not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare.
Page 7
Alternative Compliance(ALT) to the private street standards is requested due to the triangular
shape bordered on two sides by arterial streets and on one side by the Ten Mile Creek. There is
no opportunity for connectivity to any adjacent site lot and so ACHD prefers private streets
within the development. Consequently, because private streets take less right-of-way than
public streets and most notably because of the constraints just noted the Applicant agrees with
this assessment and has proposed private streets throughout the development. Based on the
analysis, the Director is supportive of the request for ALT for the proposed private streets
within this development taking access from an arterial street.
City code requires that private streets are to be used in either a mew or gated development and
so the Applicant has proposed to construct a gated entry into the development. The proposed
gate looks to meet the setback standard of 50-feet back from the ultimate edge of right-of-
way per UDC 11-3F-4. ; , a turnaround should be depieted on the plat prior-to
proposed gate to allow spnee for-vehieles to turn around without ha-Ang to baek out on to
Loeust Grove Road.
The access point into the development does not meet ACHD district policy but they are modifying
their policy to accommodate access into the development because it aligns with the access across
Locust Grove Road. The Applicant is proposing to construct private streets that are 24'wide
with S'attached sidewalk along the perimeter lots within the development. The applicant is also
providing a pedestrian connection to the 10 foot multi-use pathway along Locust Grove and
connects with a bus stop location. Staff supports the proposed sidewalk layout to ensure adequate
pedestrian access in the development except Staff believes an additional pedestrian connection to
Locust Grove is necessary from near the center of development.
At the north end of the main street within the development(labeled as Compass Lane on the plat)
the Applicant is proposing an emergency-only access to Victory Road. This access is required if
more than 30 homes are to be constructed. Staff is not aware of the kind of emergency access
proposed but Meridian Fire prefers bollard-type accesses for added efficiency in emergency
situations;Meridian Fire has approved the requested preliminary plat for fire access,
turnarounds, and road widths.
Additionally,the private street appears to ener-oaeh or-prevent the Applieant&om
installing the 25 foot landseape buffer- along Loeust Grove Road whieh will require the
Applieant to r-ealign the private street outside of this area; this eould result in the loss of a
buildable lot and a deer-ease in the proposed open spaee.
Parking(UDC 11-3C): Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards
listed in UDC Table 11-3C-6 for single-family dwellings based on the number of bedrooms per
unit. Staff will confirm compliance with these standards at the time of building permit submittal
for each residence.
The proposed street sections(24 feet wide with attached sidewalk) of the private streets within
the development,shown on the submitted preliminary plat, CANNOT accommodate parking on
either side of the street. The entirety of the private streets will be required to be labeled as `No
Parking,"per the Meridian Fire recommendations. Each unit will be required to meet the off-
street parking standards and Staff encourages the developer of this site to include provisions
within their HOA bylaws that prohibit garages from being used as storage. This would help
alleviate some of the parking issues seen throughout the City and especially in areas where no
on-street parking is allowed.
The Applicant is also showing guest parking along the Compass Lane totaling 13 additional
parking spaces. Lot 6,Block 3 is proposing 6 guest spaces,Lot 2,Block 2 is proposing 7 guest
Page 8
spaces, both are within a common lot, however staff is not qualifying these areas as open
space.
Sidewalks(11-3A-17): Five-foot attached sidewalks are proposed along both sides of the main
entrance and on one side of all internal private streets. Sidewalks are not required when
constructing Private Streets. There is no existing sidewalk along Victory Road or Locust Grove;
only a portion of a 310-foot sidewalk along the southeast of S. Locust Grove Road is proposed
with this project because both arterial streets are currently under construction to be widened as
part of the roundabout project at this intersection by ACHD,as stated above.
Detached sidewalks are required along arterial roadways per UDC 11-3A-17. The Applicant has
already agreed to dedicate additional right of way to ACHD for the roundabout and future
widening of Victory and Locust Grove. ACHD is requiring the Applicant to road trust for the
sidewalk improvements as the roundabout and associated improvements will likely be constructed
prior to construction of this site. In addition, this will ensure any improvements made by the
Applicant will not have to be removed to make the planned roundabout improvements. The
submitted plat does depict the intersection improvements currently under construction. eT,
Me applicant is proposing to construct a 310 foot wide detached sidewalk along a portion of
Locust Grove Road consistent with the improvements ACHD is constructing. Staff reeommen-'s

Landscaping(UDC 11-3B): A 25-foot wide street buffer is required adjacent to E. Victory and
S. Locust Grove Roads,both are designated as arterial streets. This buffer should be landscaped
per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C and placed into a common lot that is at least 25 feet
wide. In most cases this common lot should also contain the detached sidewalk required along all
arterial roadways but in this case a portion of the sidewalk abutting this site will be built with the
ACHD roundabout project.The Applicant is constructing the remaining portion of the sidewalk
on the southeast property boundary adjacent to S. Locust Grove. The landscape plan depicts a
-510-foot wide sidewalk connecting to the 10-foot wide sidewalk to be constructed by ACHD.

ground cover. Plant materials in conjunction with site design shall elicit design principles
including rhythm, repetition, balance, and focal elements.

Common Open Space& Site Amenities(UDC 11-3G-3): A minimum of 15% (or 1.06 acres
based on 7.08 acres) qualified open space is required to be provided in this development per the
standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3.
An open space exhibit was submitted that depicts 2.22 acres of common open space for the
development with 1.06 acres of this area as qualified open space (see Section VIII.D). The
minimum amount of qualified open space required is 1.06 acres, approximately 46,174 square
feet. There are four(4) main open space areas proposed within Compass Pointe, the centralized
common open space includes a sitting area and pickleball court; a pocket park near the entrance
will have a gazebo with a picnic area,plaza, and sitting area; dog park with sitting area and
wrought iron fencing; and linear open space along the northern boundary next to the Ten Mile
Creek.
The open space for this development is vastly made up of the Ten Mile Creek easement(2.12
acres) and the arterial street buffers (22,315 square feet of qualifying area).All of this area is
qualifying but the Ten Mile Creek will be left natural(no improvements) and will be a buffer and
more of a visual amenity rather than usable open space for the development.
Due to the peculiar shape of this site,Staff finds the proposed open space meets the UDC code
requirements;however,Staff recommends the Applicant submit a revised open space exhibit
due to the modifications noted above—vehicle turnaround, and realigning the road to
accommodate the 25 foot landscape buffer requirement. 15 days pfier to the City Coune
Based on the area of the proposed plat, 7.08 acres,a minimum of one(1)qualified site amenity is
required to be provided per the standards listed in UDC 11-3G-3C. The applicant has proposed
three (3)qualifying amenities in multiple locations: gazebos, a picnic area, seating around small
plazas,pickleball court with a seating area, and dog park.
The proposed amenities exceed the minimum UDC requirements and Staff finds them to be
applicable for a community of this kind due to the variety of activity levels they can
accommodate.
Waterways: The Ten Mile Creek runs along the western boundary of the site. The irrigation
easement is depicted on the plat and no encroachments are allowed within the easement area. The
landscape plan depicts a landscape buffer that looks to be at 5-feet in width adjacent to the
irrigation easement line on the landscape plan meeting the UDC standards.
should depiet the widM of the landseape buffer on the land-seapeplan.
Utilities(UDC 11-3A-21): Connection to City water and sewer services is required in accord with
UDC 11-3A-21. The existing home proposed to remain on Lot 1,Block 2 is required to connect
to City water and sewer service within 60 days of it becoming available as set forth in MCC 9-1-4
and 9-4-8.
Street lighting is required to be installed in accord with the City's adopted standards,
specifications and ordinances.
Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6. I1-3A-7): All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in
UDC 11-3A-7. According to the submitted landscape plans, the Applicant is proposing three
(3)types of fencing throughout the site, 6-foot vinyl solid fencing, 6-foot wrought iron fencing,
and 4-foot wrought iron fencing.
Fencing is shown on the landscape plan along the subdivision boundary, adjacent to the Ten Mile
Creek, around the central open space lot along the northern portion of the site, and around the
dog park. Fencing shown next to any open space shall be open-vision or semi private fencing per
UDC requirements. The landscape plan appears to be in compliance with this requirement.
Page 10
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.
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: One(4)Two 2 conceptual building elevations wa-s--were submitted that
demonstrate what fixture homes in this development will look like (see Section VIILF);a two-
story homes that includes a variation of materials with a two-car garage are proposed. The
submitted elevations depict a number of different architectural and design styles with field
materials of lap siding,shake, differing color accents, roof profiles, and distinct window styles.
Staff recommends that the Applicant add additional stone or brick accents to the front of the
homes to provide more of a variation in materials.

on the delivery of services by any political subdivision providing public services within the
City.
5. The annexation(as applicable)is in the best interest of city.
Commission finds the proposed annexation is in the best interest of the City per the Analysis
in Section VI.
B. Preliminary Plat Findings:
In consideration of a preliminary plat,combined preliminary and final plat, or short plat,
the decision-making body shall make the following findings:
1. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;
Commission finds that the proposed plat, with Staffs recommendations, is in substantial
compliance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan in regard to land use, density,
transportation, and pedestrian connectivity. (Please see Comprehensive Plan analysis and
other analysis in Section V and Section VI of this report for more information)
2. Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to accommodate
the proposed development;
Commission finds that public services will be provided to the subject property with
development. (See Section IX of the Staff Reportfor more details from public service providers)
3. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the City's
capital improvement program;
Because City water and sewer and any other utilities will be provided by the development at
their own cost, Commission finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of capital
improvement funds.
4. There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
Commission finds there is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development based upon comments from the public service providers (i.e., Fire, DEQ, Ada

Commission finds the Applicant meets this finding.
Page 26
C. Private Street Findings:
In order to approve the application,the Director shall find the following:
1. The design of the private street meets the requirements of this Article;
The design of the proposed private streets complies with the standards listed in UDC 11-3F-
4; except for the required turnaround prior to the entry gate. See analysis in Section VI for
more information.
2. Granting approval of the private street would not cause damage hazard, or nuisance, or
other detriment to persons,property,or uses in the vicinity; and

nuisance or other detriment to persons,property or uses in the vicinity if they are designed as
proposed and constructed in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3F-4B.
3. The use and location of the private street shall not conflict with the comprehensive plan
and/or the regional transportation plan.
The location of the private streets does not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and/or the
regional transportation plan despite needing Alternative Compliance for its connection
directly to an arterial street. With the constraints detailed and analyzed for this development,
Staff finds that local street access has been provided via a private street.
4. The proposed residential development(if applicable)is a mew or gated development.
The Applicant is proposing to construct the residential development as a gated community
and so, Commission finds this development in compliance with this finding.

1. Strict adherence or application of the requirements is not feasible; OR
Access to this development is provided by a private street and the UDC restricts access to
both Victory Road and Locust Grove Road, arterial streets. There are no available local
street connections to the subject property due to it being a triangle shape bordered on two
sides by arterial streets and the other by the Ten Mile Creek. Because the property is not
served by public local street streets and any public street would not be able to be extended to
any adjacent property, the Director finds strict adherence to the UDC is not feasible and
approves the request for the private streets to directly connect to S. Locust Grove Road, an
arterial street.
2. The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the
requirements; and
The Director finds the development proposed by the applicant as a whole provides an equal
or superior means for meeting the requirements in that it contributes to the unique character
of the area and provides diversity in housing types available within the City.
3. The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair
the intended uses and character of the surrounding properties.
The Director finds that the proposed alternative means will not be detrimental to the public
welfare or impair the intended use%haracter of the surrounding properties and will

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 1.539-acre property is an enclave surrounded by existing single-family residential homes. The
subject site abuts an R-8 and R-15 development to the west,Verado Subdivision No. 1 &No. 2;to the east
and south is an R-1 zoning district in Ada County; and to the north is an R-8 development,Champion Park
Subdivision No. 1. The subject property is designated as Medium Density Residential on the future land use
map consistent with the approved development to the west. The Applicant proposes a 9-lot subdivision for
single-family residential attached and detached homes at a gross density of 5.84 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 attached dwellings with a mix of lot sizes will contribute to the variety of
housing options in this area and within the City as desired. Existing single-family detached and
attached dwellings are in the Medium-Density and Medium High-Density Residential developments
to the west and north and existing Residential Estate lots (RI) in Ada County consisting of detached
dwellings are located within the surrounding area.
Page 4
• "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.
• "Avoid the concentration of any one housing type or lot size in any geographical area;provide for
diverse housing types throughout the City."(2.01.01G)
This area consists primarily of single family detached and attached homes located to the north
south, east, and west; only single-family attached homes are proposed within this development. The
proposed development offers lot sizes ranging from 4,237 to 5,332 square feet(sf.).
• "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 residential single-family attached homes contribute to the variety of
residential categories within the surrounding area as desired. The proposed development is most
compatible with the adjacent Verado development which has similar lot sizes and density.A 25 foot
wide landscape buffer is proposed along Ustick Road as well.
• "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land."
(3.07.00)
The proposed site design provides maximum use of the land with the proposed residential dwelling
types and should be compatible with the existing developments on adjacent properties that are also
designated for MDR uses.
• "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 development will not likely impact the existing abutting developments to the east, west,
and south.
• `Ensure development is connected to City of Meridian water and sanitary sewer systems and the
extension to and through said developments are constructed in conformance with the City of
Meridian Water and Sewer System Master Plans in effect at the time of development."(3.03.03A)
The proposed development will connect to City water and sewer systems with development of the
subdivision;services are required to be provided to and through this development in accord with
current City plans.
• "Require pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions together and promote
neighborhood connectivity."(2.02.01D)
A 5-foot-wide detached sidewalk is located along E. Ustick Road. The existing sidewalk provides a
link between all subdivisions east and west of this site.
• "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.
Page 5
• "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 proposed development 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.
Based on the analysis above, staff finds the proposed development is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan.
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS
A. ANNEXATION(AZ)
The Applicant proposes to annex 1.73-acres of land with an R-8 zoning district. A legal description and
exhibit map for the annexation area is included in Section VIII.A. This property is within the City's Area
of City Impact boundary.
A preliminary plat and conceptual building elevations were submitted showing how the property is
proposed to be subdivided and developed with 9 single-family attached and detached dwelling units and
2 common lots at a gross density of 5.84 units per acre(see Sections VIII.B, E). The proposed use and
density of the development is consistent with the MDR FLUM designation.
Single-family detached and attached 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 property is contiguous to City annexed land to the north and is within the City's Area of City Impact
boundary. A legal description and exhibit map of the overall annexation area for the R-8 zoning districts
are included in Section VIII.A.
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 9 building lots and 2 common lots on 1.539-acre property in
the proposed R-8 zoning district. Proposed lots range in size from 4,237 to 5,332 square feet(s.£)(or
0.09 to 0.12 acres). The proposed gross density of the subdivision is 5.84 units per acre. The subdivision
is proposed to develop in one phase as shown in Section VIII.B.
Existing Structures/Site Improvements: The outbuilding located on E. Ringneck Street should be
removed with development of this property. 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 are required to
comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-6 for the R-8 zoning district. The
proposed preliminary plat appears to comply with the dimensional standards of the district.
Access: Access is proposed from E. Ringneck Street from N. Verado Ave. and E.Ustick Road. Direct
lot access from E. Ustick Road is prohibited. The Applicant is proposing to remove the existing curb
Page 6
cut to E. Ustick Road on this site as depicted on the preliminary plat. An Emergency Vehicle
Turnaround is depicted on the plat over Lot 3,Block 2;the intent is to remove the turnaround to
accommodate a single-family residential home once N. Lapis Road is extended in the future. The
Applicant has proposed to landscape this parcel to be used as common open space for the development
until such time that N.Lapis Road is extended.
Parking(UDC 11-3C): Off-street parking is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed
in UDC Table 11-3C-6 for single-family dwellings based on the number of bedrooms per unit. Staff will
confirm compliance with these standards at the time of building permit submittal for each residence.
Landscaping(UDC 11-3B): A twenty-five-foot landscape buffer is required along E.Ustick Road in
accord with UDC 11-3B-7. The landscape plan submitted depicts a thirty-foot landscape buffer along E.
Ustick Road due to the Milk Lateral Easement. Staff finds that the landscape plan should depict less
lawn and a wider planter bed with an additional mix of a variety of shrubs, mulch, and other
vegetative ground cover in accord with UDC 11-3B-7C.
A Tree Mitigation Plan should 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 1I-
3B-10C.S.
Sidewalks(11-3A-17): E.Ustick Road is improved with an existing 5-foot wide detached concrete
sidewalk abutting the site in accord with UDC standards. Staff is not recommending that this sidewalk be
replaced with a 5-foot detached sidewalk. The Applicant is proposing 5-foot attached sidewalks on
both sides of E. Ringneck Street and N.Lapis Avenue. Staff recommends that the Applicant replace
the gravel area in the parkway area with vegetation in accord with UDC 11-3B-7C and remove the
driveway and replace with curb,gutter, and sidewalk per ACHD standards.
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.
Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6, I1-3A-7): All fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC
11-3A-7. According to the submitted landscape plan, the Applicant is proposing 6-foot Vinyl fencing
around the perimeter of the site and between the single-family attached homes. A detail of the fencing
should be provided with the final plat.
Pressurized Irrigation System (UDC 11-3A-15): Underground pressurized irrigation water is required
to be provided to each lot within the subdivision asset forth in UDC 11-3A-15. The second common lot
proposed on the east side of this site is planned to serve the pump station for the proposed
subdivision's pressure irrigation as depicted on the preliminary plat. The corridor for the southern
user ditch is to be piped from the southeast corner of the existing exit location into the Verado
Subdivision to the west. The property does not comprise surface water rights;therefore, the Applicant
is proposing a private pressurized irrigation system.
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: Conceptual building elevations were submitted that demonstrate what future
homes in this development will look like(see Section VIII.D). Variations of single-story homes with a
two-car garage are proposed. The submitted elevations depict a number of different architectural and
design styles with field materials of lap siding,stucco, differing color accents, and roofproftles. Staff
recommends that the Applicant add additional stone or brick accents to the front of the homes to
provide more of a variation in materials and a combination of various colors for each unit. The
Applicant shall submit elevations for the future single-family detached home with the Design Review

IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
History
This is a proposal for a development agreement modification to allow a dispatch center for mobile
services to operate AAA Oregon/Idaho on the subject property.
The property comprises of three lots with a total land area of 1.40 acres. The parcel located at 1065
E. Fairview was annexed into the City as a commercial property in 2001 under AZ-01-010. In 2016,
a Development Agreement Modification and Annexation of parcel#S1107120625 for Meridian
Property Group was approved under H-2016-0004,MDA Inst. #2016-057450. The approval also
included the termination of the existing Development Agreement,which was previously identified
under Instrument#109134178. Further, a Council waiver was granted to reduce the required 25-foot
landscape buffer along the southern border of the development adjacent to the Touchstone Place
Apartments. The buffer width was reduced to 5-feet next to the vehicle display area and 10-feet
behind the building. A Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review application(A-2016-
0309)was approved for the building and existing site improvements consistent with the current
Development Agreement.
Development Agreement Modification
The MDA approved under Instrument#2016-057450 contains a provision that restricts the use of the
property to vehicle sales. However,the Applicant is seeking to amend the existing DA to allow AAA
Oregon/Idaho to operate a dispatch center for mobile services on the subject properties.
The Applicant is proposing a 24-hour dispatch center for mobile roadside assistance and similar
vehicle-related services while proposing hours of operation for the office building from 6:00 am to
11:00 pm. The proposed business hours of operation are consistent with UDC standards when a
property abuts a residential use or district. The dispatch center will be staffed by a limited number of
employees who will be working remotely and not out of the building. The applicant has stated that no
inoperable or dismantled vehicles will be brought back to this site for repairs. Maintenance activities
within the shop will be exclusively conducted on AAA vehicles.
Access from E. Fairview Avenue will be limited to right-in/right-out only. Additionally,a shared
access drive is provided on the Touchstone Place Plat,connecting the subject property with the
neighboring property to the east(R8509200080).
Existing Development Agreement:
Section 5.1.d. (Uses Permitted by This Agreement)of the Meridian Property Group Agreement reads
as follows:
"The use of this property shall be restricted to the vehicle sales in accord with the specific use
standards set forth in UDC 1-4-3-38."
The applicant proposes to modify Section 5.1.d.as such:
5.1.d.The use of this pr-epefty shall be r-estfieted to the vehiele sales in aeeer-d with the speeifie use
st-andar-ds setferth in UDG 11.4. . The use of this property shall include all permitted uses
listed in the C-G zoning district in the Allowed Uses Table 11-2B-2 for commercial
developments. Vehicle wrecking and junk yard uses are prohibited. Ordinary business hours
shall be between 6:00 am and 11:00 pm; however,the property may be used as a 24-hour
dispatch center for mobile roadside assistance and similar vehicle-related services.
Page 2
V. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE UD
The proposed uses, a dispatch center for mobile services and vehicle repair minor are listed as
principally permitted uses, in the C-G(General Retail and Service Commercial District)zoning
district per UDC Table 11-2B-2. Compliance with the standards listed in UDC 11-2B-3 is required.
The proposed use is subject to the following Specific Use Standards(UDC 11-4-3-451—Dispatch

B. Adequate off-street area shall be provided for fleet vehicle storage.
1. Fleet vehicle storage shall only be on surfaces composed of one(1) of the following
materials: concrete,asphalt, grasscrete,pavers,bricks,macadam, or recycled asphalt. The
parking lot is currently surfaced with asphalt, which is used to accommodate parking for all fleet
vehicles.
2. Fleet vehicle storage shall not block sidewalks or parking areas and may not impede
vehicular or pedestrian traffic. The Applicant shall comply with this requirement.
3. Fleet vehicle storage shall be screened with a six-foot sight obscuring fence, or fleet vehicle
storage shall be designed as an off street parking area consistent with the standards as set forth
in sections 11-3C-5 and 11-3B-8 of this title. The Applicant has not provided details on how
they intend to comply with this requirement. This will be verified at the time the Applicant submits
a Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC)application.
C. The site shall not be used as a "contractor's yard" as herein defined. The Applicant's proposal for
the change of use on this property does not include a plan for establishing a "contractor's yard".

repair, major and minor: (Staff analysis in italics).
A.Where adjoining a residential property or district, all repair activities (including,but not limited
to, open pits and lifts) shall occur within an enclosed structure. The applicant is proposing to
do some minor vehicle repairs on the fleet vehicles only. Staff is amenable to request since
vehicle repair is allowed in the C-G district and only for service of the fleet vehicles. Further,
all minor repairs for AAA's vehicles should be limited to the designated shop area inside the
building. Staff recommends a new DA provision limiting the vehicle repair to the fleet vehicles
only as proposed.
B. Inoperable or dismantled motor vehicles shall be stored behind a closed vision fence,wall, or
screen or within an enclosed structure and shall not be visible from the street. As stated above,
inoperable or dismantled vehicles will not be brought back to this site for repairs.

Design : Fanfare
............. ....................
FANFARE NARRATIVE
•���=;;:;�r:: - Fanfare is an interactive sculpture that works likes a telescope for your ears. Modeled after obsolete
acoustic locators of the 1930s (pictured here in B&W photos), Fanfare is made from reclaimed and
repurposed brass instruments that have been outfitted with additional tubin and brass headphones.
The brass instruments reference the whimsical bells of antique "squeeze bu�" horns found on bikes
in the 19th century.
- - Rather than produce music, these sculptures highlight and amplify existing sounds that are already
present. To use the sculpture, a passerby simply places their ear up to the brass headphone along
the main sculpture support and listens. When used, the object helps a person focus their listening on
- - --.- — - -� specific, far away sounds that they may have been otherwise ignored.
This project aims to help people engage in the simple, yet profound act of intentional listening.
Additionally, it aims to heighten public awareness of the rich natural soundscape of Meridian.
Meridian possesses a dynamic and constantly changing soundtrack: at any given moment a person
can hear the songs of migrant birds, the undulations of insects, and other living creatures. Listening
more attentively can bring our senses into greater focus. T
My sculptures are made from durable steel and brass, suitable for any climate. All sculptures are
ADA compliant, intuitive, and suitable for people of all ages.

Dear Mayor Simison and members of the City Council,
Thank you for the opportunity to present written comment to you regarding item #15 on the July 11, 2023, City
Council work session agenda. Specifically, agenda item #15 approves a master license agreement between the
City of Meridian and Crown Castle for the use of city property in connection with the operation of a wireless network.
As wireless technology becomes an ever-present part of our lives, it is essential that we have infrastructure in place
to support it.Whenever you make a call, check sports scores on the go,track how many steps you walked or stream
music and video, we are the ones providing the communications infrastructure that makes it all possible. In fact,
access to technology and information is no longer considered a luxury— it is a necessity.
Crown Castle is the nation's largest provider of shared communications infrastructure - connecting people and
businesses to essential data, technology & broadband services (including wireless and wireline). We construct,
operate and maintain wireless broadband for a variety of customers across the country, including the wireless
carriers, K-12 school districts, local governments, universities and internet service providers. As a provider of vital
communications services, we strive to deploy broadband to improve the quality of life for all Idaho residents,
regardless of income level or geographic location.
To that end, Crown Castle is eager to work with the City of Meridian to commence construction of a small cell
network in Meridian and neighboring cities. Approval of the master license agreement is the first step toward
improving critical wireless services in your community. We urge your support of agenda item #15, the master
license agreement between the City of Meridian and Crown Castle. Thank you,
Sincerely,

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM TOPIC: Public Works: Cost of Service Study and Proposed Fiscal Year 2024 Water and
Sewer Fees
C�
fIEN .D L4,,
MEMO TO CITY COUNCIL
Request to Include Topic on the City Council Workshop Agenda
From: Laurelei McVey, Public Works Meeting Date: July 11, 2023
Presenter: Laurelei McVey, Public Works Estimated Time: 15 minutes
Topic: Cost of Service Study and Proposed FY24 Water and Sewer Fees
Recommended Council Action:
No official action required. The Department plans to hold a public hearing on the proposed rate
increase in August 2023.
Background:
The Public Works Department has concluded efforts to complete a comprehensive cost of service
study for both utilities (water and wastewater). The City worked with FCS Group, a financial
consultant experienced in conducting such studies with municipalities all over the Northwest, as
well as consulting with the City's Finance Department.
The purpose of the study was to analyze and make recommendations around the City's Water and
Wastewater Utility Rates and Fees. The scope of the study included the following:
➢ Revenue requirements for both utilities
➢ Cost to deliver services to customers for both utilities
➢ Recommendations around rate structure and updated fees
➢ Assessment Fee calculation: Methodology and Updated Charges
➢ Three opinion papers (development of customer classes, enterprise fund split, future
replacement funding)
The above outcomes where evaluated through the lens of several guiding principles that helped
inform the study results. The recommendations would:
➢ Result in legally defensible rates/fees based on Idaho Statutes
➢ Adhere to City Financial policies and procedures
➢ Assume no debt financing options
➢ Minimize impacts to customers in terms of rate changes
➢ Treat each utility as a separate entity in terms of finances
➢ Align with industry best practices
➢ Recover costs equitably and provide maximum revenue stability
Study Results and Recommendations:
General findings confirmed that Meridian is in healthy shape from an Enterprise Fund perspective.
The City also shared with FCS the intent to eventually separate each utility into its own fund
(Water Fund&Sewer Fund) and FCS agreed that is an industry best practice. The study
approached all analysis under that assumption.
The Utility Assessment fees were recommended to be updated and implemented as soon as
possible to ensure maximum legal defensibility. The updated assessment fees were presented and
adopted by City Council in October 2022 (effective 11/1/22).
Meridian's utility rates are legally defensible and financially sound with no further adjustments in
calculation methodology; however,the City could move some of these initiatives forward to better
represent true costs of service to various customer types in the future, if they chose. The
recommendations listed below are just that, recommendations not requirements.
Assessment Fees Findings and Study Recommendations:
Connection fees (also commonly known as hookup fees and assessment fees) are an important
mechanism to capture an equitable share of cost from development for water and wastewater
system infrastructure. There is defined case law in Idaho that prescribes a methodology to
accomplish this. This report applied that methodology to both utilities and calculated an updated
fee to apply based on system value.
Water Assessment Fee:
➢ The updated Water connection fee was calculated to be $1,514 per ERU, a reduction
from the previous fee of$1,972.
Wastewater Assessment Fee:
➢ The updated Wastewater connection fee was calculated to be $5,411 per ERU, an
increase from the previous fee of$3,884.
It was recommended that these fees be updated as soon as possible. These fees were updated in
November 2022. It is also recommended that the City revisit these fees on a 3-year basis or
anytime there are significant changes to the components that affect system value in the
calculation.
Water Utility Rate Findings and Study Recommendations:
Findings:
➢ Base/Usage Rate Design: Some costs are incurred by the utility no matter the volume of
water produced (base rate). Other costs are variable depending on the amount of water
produced (use rate). Currently, not all costs that could be placed on the base rate are
included in this portion of the rate. This structure does give the customer more control
over their billed amount; however, it does not capture the true cost of providing service.
Additionally, moving a higher portion of the rate to a fixed charge (where appropriate)
also aids in greater revenue stability going forward.
➢ Customer Cost Allocation: Analysis suggests the residential customer class is
subsidizing the other classes, to some degree on the water utility side. Some interclass
adjustments could be warranted. This recommendation would create various rates for
various customer classes, increasing the complexity of Meridian's rate structures. It
should be noted that the creation of customer classes may not be feasible with the City's
current billing software platform.
➢ Meter Size: In order to capture the difference in cost to supply customers of different
meter size, a meter size-based rate schedule could also be introduced. However, this
recommendation may not be feasible with the City's current billing software platform.
Study Recommendations:
➢ Consider moving appropriate costs to the base portion of rate
➢ Consider 4 customer classes (Residential, Non-Residential, Builder, Sprinkler)
➢ Consider moving to a Meter Size base rate
Wastewater Utility Rate Findings and Study Recommendations:
Findings:
➢ Base/Usage Rate Design: Some costs are incurred by the utility no matter the volume of
wastewater discharged. Other costs are variable depending on use. Currently, not all
costs that could be placed on the base rate are included in this portion of the rate.
➢ Customer Cost Allocation: This is somewhat less complex than water rate design as all
classes are treated in a similar fashion due to the functions of service being common to
all customers. This eliminates the necessity of a more complex fee system; however,
different classes of customers could be created if desired. It should be noted that the
creation of customer classes may not be feasible with the City's current billing software
platform.
Study Recommendations:
➢ Consider moving appropriate costs to base portion of rate
➢ Consider 3 customer classes (Residential, Non-Residential, Builder)
Additional Study Issue Papers:
The final portion of the Rate Study includes three "Issue Papers"that addressed topics of interest
that the City was seeking professional input on.
The three topics included:
➢ "Customer Class and Rate Structure Alternatives": This paper explored rate setting
philosophies and drivers that the City may want to explore in the future to adapt to the
changing needs of the utilities and customers such as base versus usage and customer
classes.
➢ "Enterprise Fund Separation": This paper reviewed the pros and cons of separating the
Enterprise fund and discussed industry best practices.
➢ "System Reinvestment Funding": This paper focused on how to approach financing the
replacement of aging infrastructure and recommendations specific to Meridian's system
characteristics.
Study Recommendations:
➢ Consider adopting a more complex customer class rate structure to better capture true
costs of service. This is not a requirement, but is a best practice to ensure true cost of
service is considered.
➢ Consider separating the Enterprise Fund into two self-sustaining utility funds. This is
not a requirement, but is a best practice to ensure true cost of service is considered.
➢ Because the City's utility systems are relatively new, significant current reinvestment
into or building savings for future system replacement is not warranted at this time.
The City should continue to monitor and evaluate this.
City of Meridian Utility Cost of Service Implementation Plan:
Based on the study recommendations, the Public Works Department in conjunction with the
Finance Department recommend the following implementation plan.
2022 (COMPLETED)
➢ Update and implement assessment fees as soon as possible (COMPLETED- Nov 1, 2022)
➢ Annual utility rate adjustments- 2% (COMPLETED-June 15,2022)
2023
➢ Annual utility rate adjustments, as needed
2024
➢ Sunset of EPA Fee (September 30, 2024)
➢ Consider implementing base/usage rate adjustments
➢ Consider creation of customer classes and meter size base rates
➢ Annual utility rate adjustments, as needed
202S
➢ Enterprise Fund Split
➢ Evaluate and update assessment fees
➢ Annual utility rate adjustments, as needed
2026
➢ Annual utility rate adjustments, as needed
2027
➢ Annual utility rate adjustments, as needed
2028
➢ Update Cost of Service Study
➢ Evaluate and update assessment fees
➢ Annual utility rate adjustments, as needed
FY2024 Recommended Rate Adjustments:
In order to keep up with the rise in the ongoing operational and personnel costs, a rate increase of
3% is recommended by Public Works and the Finance Department for FY2024 (effective October
1, 2023).
A 3% increase to both the water and sewer rates would result in approximately a $1.91/month
increase to the average customer's monthly bill.
Additional future rate increases are likely needed, but these increases will be modeled, analyzed,
and brought to City Council annually.
Due to Meridian's continued conservative and detailed financial planning,the City maintains some
of the lowest utility rates in the Treasure Valley. The following table compares current
neighboring utility rates. Additionally, it should be noted that several of the cities listed below are
planning to implement additional rate increases in October that are not reflected in this table.
