Item 4.
Department Reports:
A. Meridian Police Department - Chief Worley:
1. Crime Statistics Report for September 2002:
De Weerd: Okay Item Number 4, Department Reports. Meridian Police Department,
Chief Worley,
Worley: Thank you, Madam President, Members of the Council. You have at your
positions there a one-page report that has been issued by the Idaho State Police
Department statistics on crime in Meridian through September of 2002. As we go
through this, I would caution that these are preliminary numbers and may be subject to
change as additional reports come in, but they wil] be pretty close. [won't go over every
bit of this thing, but I would highlight that Meridian continues to be a very safe place to
live. Total violent crime, which includes murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault,
is down 35.9 percent and to put that in a little bit of perspective for the audience, the
total numbers of crimes that we had in those four categories in the first nine months of
this year total 25, as compared to 39 last year. That's a very low number for a city this
size. As we reported before, property crime continues to be a problem in Meridian. The
only significant crime category that is up is the theft category and it's gone up almost 18
percent compared to the first nine months of 2001. Overall, property crime is up from
814 incidents, the first nine months of 2001 to 921 incidents in 2002, for an 11,8 percent
increase. The total major crime, al] eight categories, is up just a bit under 11 percent.
Our goal in the Strategic Plan was five. Obviously, we are not reaching that yet, but
with some of the things that Council has given us as far as staffing, I think we will have
a chance to approach that. The other significant issue from this particular report is the
clearance rate, that's the cases that are actually solved by arrest or by other
identification of the perpetrator, and that has gone up from 16.2 percent last year to 38
percent so far this year and very much attributable to the additional investigative staff
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 4 of 37
that we have. Two other numbers that I would point out that aren't on that report. An
issue in any city is vandalism and Meridian is no different in that. Vandalism in the first
nine months has remained virtually flat, 224 incidents last year to 222 the first nine
months of this year, and the outstanding one that I would attribute to just some good
active work in the community by many groups, narcotics violations is down 11.8
percent. With that, I'll stand for any questions.
De Weerd: Chief, I just want to express our gratitude in your leadership. I think your
department has come a long way under the first year of your tenure and these numbers
are really reflecting that. I know the article that just came out in the paper this Sunday
on the start of the remodel on your old police station for the Boys and Girls Club. I think
we will see a significant impact in these numbers as well for next year and appreciate
the offer of the Police Department to now prevent crime with our youth offenders. It
really gives them a nice, safe place to go and a positive -- positive role models and so
we continue to look fOlWard to your pro-active approach and see that it, indeed, makes
a difference so thank you.
Worley: Thank you, Madam President. It is always better to address the issue up front
than trying to catch people after the fact.
De Weerd: Council, any comments?
Bird: Just echo yours.
Nary: I concur.
B. Meridian Fire Department - Kenny Bowers.
1. Fire Station No.3 Report.
De Weerd: Thank you, Chief. Chief Bowers. I asked the Chief to update Council. We
had an issue come up with Fire Station No.3. The Rural Commission has been briefed
and Kenny and his staff have been working to try and address this issue. With that, I
will just go ahead and ask Kenny to give us an update.
Bowers: Thank you. Acting Mayor, City Council Members, a year ago we purchased a
piece of property on Locust Grove, 3500th block, in that area. At that time we thought
that we had purchased a little under an acre of land. ZGA, Tom Zabala, and Danny
Little, came to our Rural Commissioners Meeting late November to tell us that we only
have .7 of an acre. What had happened was the 186 feet deep of the property went out
to the middle of the highway at Locust Grove. We still thought we were okay, because
we had bought title insurance, the whole works on it so we are trying to track down the
title insurance at this time. We still thought we were okay, because Ada County
Highway District told us they thought they would only take 70 feet from the -- 70 some
feet from the middle of the road. The last time we had talked to them, they want 90
some feet. At this time, we have got a couple three different options on that piece of
property. Option Number 1 would be to possibly buy 30 more feet from the property
owner to the west of the fire station. Option 2 would be to get an easement from the
property owners to the west and use their driveway into the back portion of our property.
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 5 of 37
Or a third option would be to turn the fire station instead of running east and west it
would go north and south. I have talked to the lady that owns the property behind the
fire station. At that time she did not have a problem with selling land or creating an
easement for the driveway, but she still had to talk to her husband and she has not got
back with me on her information yet of which way she would like for us to go. This is
just kind of an FYI for the City Council to let you guys know where we are. We are
working on this every day to try to come up with a solution for this. As you know, we
were going to try to break ground April, March, somewhere around in that area after the
wintertime so this might delay us just a little bit. Talking to ZGA, they didn't think that
this delay us any if we could get hopping and get the property either purchased or an
easement for the driveway. The driveway is on the south side of our property. It's 50
feet wide. It's between the church and our property so sometime in the future that road
will probably be developed into a road going back to all that property behind when they
sell it. There are several acres back there, so when they develop it that will probably be
a way into that subdivision. Possibly, at that time, we might have to -- or we might have
to wait and use the main road as our back way into our bays. The third option I was
telling you about turning in the station is we would pull into our property off of Locust
Grove and be able to still turn our truck around and back it into the bays, so we wouldn't
be backing off of Locust Grove or we wouldn't be causing any problems with Locust
Grove. Also, the Sanitary Service would be able to come in, turn around, and head
back out forward, instead of backing out onto Locust Grove. Are there any questions?
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Kenny, if I recall, our Number 2 station is on a half acre, and we go around back
on it. Is this one not as deep north and south? Haven't we always planned on running
out -- running the building north and south and coming out from the east onto Locust
Grove?
Bowers: We thought we could get away with it the other way. If we had 186 feet, we
would be able to do it the correct way, but with Ada County taking, you know, that
property in front when they widen that to three or five lanes, whatever it's phased for in
the years, that we would have to turn the building. I think we will still be able to do it by
turning the station.
Bird: What was the idea of turning the station the other way where you come out the
south end onto that -- if you're coming out the south end, you're coming onto that little
gravel road and then out to Locust Grove.
Bowers: Acting Mayor and City Council Members, the first plan that we had, we would
have two entrances and exits off of Locust Grove into our property. We would still be
able to do a horseshoe. Now with the property the way it's so short, we are going to
have to shove the building all the way back to the west and we would run into a problem
with parking on both sides.
Bird: What if -- you're talking about the depth east and west. What is the north and
south distance? How many feet is that?
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 6 of 37
Bowers: 220 feet.
Bird: And is the building basically a model of what we have got at Ten Mile?
Bowers: Yes, it is just possibly a little longer bay.
Bird: A little deeper?
Bowers: Yes.
De Weerd: And, Keith, we need to keep in mind that we have a 30-foot landscape
buffer in the front and 20 feet in the back and 20 feet on the side so that eats up a lot of
the space.
Bowers: Acting Mayor and City Council Members, the Planning and Zoning, Brad and
his staff, have helped us out tremendously on that. They have gave a little bit on the
back, but they had us put more on the front or sides -- I don't know quite how it was, but
they helped us out a lot on the landscaping. I will keep you guys informed of where we
are headed, what we are doing, and let you guys know.
De Weerd: And when will you get a further update from the Rural Commission and the
architect?
Bowers: Acting Mayor and City Council Members, I am going to go out possibly
tomorrow and talk with the lady to see if she has talked to her husband to decide which
way we could do. As soon we can figure that out, then we would come to you guys,
ZGA, and the Rural Commissioners and have a plan of which way we are going to go. I
would hope within the next couple weeks.
De Weerd: Okay and will that delay the construction or will we still pretty much stay on
target?
Bowers: Acting Mayor and City Council Members, Tom Zabala from ZGA thought that
we could still be on our deadlines for building the station.
De Weerd: Okay any other questions? Thank you.

Development Corporation's Meridian Revitalization Plan. Mr. Clerk, if you will read
Ordinance Number 02-987 by title only.
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 7 of 37
Berg: Thank you, Madam President, Members of the Council. Ordinance Number 02-
987, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Meridian approving the Meridian
Revitalization Plan, which plan includes revenue allocation financing provisions,
authorizing the City Clerk to transmit a copy of this ordinance and other required
information to county and state officials, approving the summary of the ordinance and
providing an effective date.
De Weerd: Okay. You have heard the reading of Ordinance Number 02-987 by ~itle
only. Is there anyone in the audience who would like to have it read in its entirety?
Okay. Seeing none, we will go ahead and entertain a motion.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I had a question before that. We have a document from Mr. Nichols dated
December 2nd, but there is no summary attached, There is just a cover sheet, and it is
in the title that we approve the summary and the State Code requires us to approve the
summary, but there isn't one. Unless we have one, I guess [ would concur that we
delete that line and when we receive the summary, we can pass that by resolution, but
we don't want to print this whole ordinance. We can't approve the summary that we
don't have. I don't know if Mr. White has -- do you have --
De Weerd: Mr. Berg, you need to speak into your microphone.
Berg: Madam President, Councilman Nary, I do have a summary that is attached to my
Exhibit 4, which is 13 pages, plus a map, which apparently, then, that may not have
gotten attached to your copies, since we received this late today. But--
Nary: So this is 13 pages? The ordinance is only nine.
De Weerd: That's a summary.
Nary: I mean I know lawyers are kind of wordy, but [ have a hard time thinking that
that's the summary,
Bird: You guys get paid by the page, don't you?
Nary: Must be.
De Weerd: Mr, White, what is the process, then, for that? We do have a summary that
Council does not have in front of it. Oh, that is the exhibit, the 13 pages?
Nary: Yes.
White: I think the answer to your question is it's really the Council's pleasure. The City
Clerk, in fact, has the summary on his copy of the ordinance and if the Council is
comfortable in passing the ordinance, ['m sure that's appropriate. On the other hand, if
you'd like the time to review the summary, that's, obviously, appropriate also. I don't
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 8 of 37
have a problem legally by proceeding to pass it with the summary, because the Clerk
has it.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, what is your preference?
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would prefer to go ahead and pass it. I think Mr. Nary is looking the summary
over. Summaries have always been a very good report, so I would have no problem
with, if the other Council Members --
Nary: And Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: In looking at the summary, I think as Mr. Berg said, it does include all of the -- all
of the land that's part of the revitalization area and so that's part of why the length of this
summary -- it does appear that the summary of the ordinance itself is really only about
three pages long. I think that's probably adequate and looking at it, I think Mr. Bird is
correct, that there is certainly adequate information here, we just didn't have it in our
packet that we received. I think it's fine so we can go ahead.
De Weerd: Well -- and time is the essence of this ordinance. I would entertain a
motion, then,
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I would move that we approve Ordinance Number 02-987, Adopting the Meridian
Development Corporation's Meridian Revitalization Plan and Summary of the Ordinance
and for the Madam President to sign and the Clerk to attest to the ordinance and the
summary.
McCandless: Second.
Nary: With suspension of rules, pursuant to Idaho Code. Sorry.
McCandless: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. We have a motion to approve Ordinance 02-987, adopting the
Meridian Development Corporation's Meridian Revitalization Plan, with the suspension
of rules. Any further discussion? All those in favor say aye. Oh, I'm sorry roll call vote.

De Weerd: Okay. Item 9 is a Continued Public Hearing from November 19th, request
for a rezone of four acres from R-4 to L-O zones for Cherry Lane Christian Church.
With Council's permission, I'd like to also open Number 10 for the request for a
Conditional Use Permit for a Preschool and school to prepare children for Kindergarten
and move up one grade also for the Cherry Lane Christian Church.
Bird: Fine with me.
De Weerd: Okay. Staff, we will start with you.
Hawkins-Clark: Thank you, Madam Chair, Members of the Council. Item Number 9,
the rezone request I will just touch on first and then go to Item Number 10 on the
Conditional Use Permit. Before I go into it, though, I would point out that you have
received a letter from Mr. Larry Woodard of the Cherry Lane Christian Church, dated
November 26th, that you should have in your packets. That does request a modification
to their plan, which I will go over a couple of the changes, how that impacts their site
plan when I get to Number 10.
De Weerd: Brad, before you continue, Mr. Clerk, did you receive a copy of that?
Hawkins-Clark: The Plannin~ and Zoning Department shows it stamped from the
Clerk's Office on November 27 .
De Weerd: Okay.
Hawkins-Clark: Great. Thanks. The property is approximately four acres and it is as
shown in bold here on the screen. It's on the south side of Cherry Lane. They have an
address of 2511 West Cherry Lane. The current zone of the church is R-4. Churches
are not an allowed use in the R-4 zone. They, obviously, have grandfathered rights, so
they have been allowed to continue to operate. They are looking to expand their
operation at this point in time, so that was some of what drove the request to rezone the
property. They are proposing to rezone it to L-O, Limited Office. This would help to
clean up the zoning situation, as well as help avoid any further requirement for permits.
Meridian City Council

The project is surrounded by Sunnybrook Farms Subdivision on the north side of Cherry
and Haven Cove Subdivision is on the south and west. The Vineyards Subdivision is on
the east side there of Nine Mile Creek, which does run here north and south
immediately east of their property. The Planning and Zoning Commission have made a
recommendation of approval for the rezone request and you should have that
recommendation in front of you. I don't believe there are any changes to that
recommendation or to staff comments. On the screen is an aerial photo showing the
existing site conditions. They do have two points of access off of Cherry into their site.
They have a landscaped area in front of the church. Parking all the way around and,
then, again, here is the Nine Mile Creek, Nampa-Meridian Irrigation District easement
there. On the Conditional Use Permit request, the reason for the Conditional Use is
they are looking to add a preschool and a future private school. The existing
classrooms that are within the facility would be used for the preschool and private
school use, They are also looking to add an enclosed tot lot addition and two lobby
expansions, as well as an expansion of their -- of their library and those expansions are
kind of pointed out. Obviously, you can't read it, but they are -- again, here is the
building and the expansions are highlighted in the darker areas there. The request from
Mr. Woodard deals with this eastern part of the project. Originally, they had proposed to
expand their parking lot by tiling the Nine Mile Creek and through the course of several
negotiations -- and I'm sure the applicant can go into it further if they'd like, but they
have run into some difficulties dealing with primarily the Corps of Engineers on cleaning
that up. What they have proposed is to essentially maintain this Nine Mile Creek as it
currently is on site, so the Site Plan would, essentially, be modified and just come
straight down this eastern boundary there. That would -- that would require a revised
plan to be submitted to us, should you choose to move on this tonight, so that we could
essentially just review a new plan. We really don't see any dramatic changes, since
they are just eliminating that eastern parking area. As far as the recommendation from
Planning and Zoning Commission that you received, because of the modification, there
are several changes that if you choose to move on this tonight, the recommendation
would not be accurate. Item Number 1 on Page 2 would just be omitted entirely, since
that deals with the parking lot expansion. Item Number 2 is the existing parking lot and
the City's Landscape Ordinance does require when there are modifications to non-
conforming uses, which in this case, the parking lot is non-conforming to our Landscape
Ordinance. To be honest with you, I think that the minutes were a little bit confusing. I
believe that the motion from Commissioner Centers at the Commission Meeting was to
delete that item as well, although, the recommendation still shows it in there. I would
like to get some clarification, possibly from the Attorney's Office who drew the
recommendation up and/or from the applicant on that, but I do believe that Item Number
2 was deleted by Commissioner Centers. Item Number 6 deals with the future private
school that they are proposing as a part of this permit. Item Option B is still shown there
and that should be omitted as well. The Commission is recommending that they obtain
a Conditional Use Permit when they want to expand the private elementary school in
the future. Essentially, they are restricted to 56 students at this point and just a
preschool. So should they choose to go to kindergarten, first grade, second grade, et
cetera, in the future, a Conditional Use Permit would be required at that time? That was
what the Commission recommended. That's option A so option B would go away. Then
the last change that would be affected by changing this site plan would be Number 7,
the very last paragraph, which is on the top of Page 3 and that was asking for them to
submit a revised Site Plan that shows the 21-inch sewer main, since that would affect
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 13 of 37
landscaping and that could be omitted. They would not need to submit that. I guess, in
summary, since the site plan really does not have substantial modification, other than
just eliminating that 65 or lO-foot stretch there on the east, the staff would be
comfortable with City Council making a motion tonight with those changes that I have
just talked about.
De Weerd: Council, any questions for staff?
Bird: I have none,
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I'm a little bit confused, Brad, on the extra parking on that Nine Mile Ditch. Isn't
there a relationship to that additional parking to all the expansion they want to do?
Because if we just delete it, then, that's saying to me that it wasn't necessary to begin
with, if we are going to approve all this expansion. I'm assuming there is some
relationship. I haven't read through all the minutes, but a relationship between what
they are wanting to add and why the additional parking was necessary to make it
comply.
Hawkins-Clark: Councilman Nary, I believe that the -- the Highway District, in terms of
calculating trips for preschools, is looking at this primarily as a drop-off situation, so the
day use for the preschool would not actually demand an increase in parking spaces.
Nary: So what was the point, then? Why did --
Hawkins-Clark: I believe it's just to accommodate their growth.
Nary: The rest of the --
Hawkins-Clark: On Sundays.
Nary: Okay.
De Weerd: Mr. Nary, I think a lot of it is as we found in a previous application, because
they are not increasing the size of their sanctuary. Under our code it's not necessarily
required that they add additional parking slots, but this church has undergone
tremendous growth and they have been very good neighbors in where they have found
alternatives to their parking issues and they do have parking issues on Sunday. They
have been partnering with a church down the road and busing their church goers to the
church.
Nary: Well, I live across the street, so I mean I knew all of that, but then there doesn't --
I guess it didn't make any sense to me why the parking was tied to the CUP. It doesn't
have any relationship to what this expansion is. It probably didn't need to be there
anyway. They want to expand the parking to meet their needs, that's fine, they probably
should, but it doesn't need to be tied to the project.

Hawkins-Clark: Other than it is an expansion of a non-conforming use right now.
Nary: Right.
Hawkins-Clark: So they would have to do it for that reason, or else they would have to
wait until the property is rezoned, then come through later and then expand it with the
parking, but --
Nary: Since now we are going to delete it anyway --
Hawkins-Clark: But since we are going to delete it anyway -- correct.
Nary: Okay. Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the applicant here this evening?
Woodard: My name is Larry Woodard. I'm one of--
De Weerd: Will you raise your right hand. Do you promise or affirm that the testimony
you give tonight is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Woodard: I do.
De Weerd: Your name and address, please.
Woodard: Larry L. Woodard. My home address is 1701 Almaden, Meridian. I'm one of
the Associate Ministers there at Cherry Lane. As staff has pointed, we have grown
rapidly and they have correctly portrayed to you tonight the recommendations that we
are in agreement with. They came to us originally on the zoning change from R-4 to L-
o and we agree with that. It puts us in a proper zone now, as to the Conditional Use
Permit, changes are the slight building modifications, and going to a preschool, we are
comfortable with the request they have made,
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Thank you. This is a Public Hearing. Is there anyone who would like to
testify on this application? Okay. Council, discussion?
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Just so I'm clear -- and I was looking at the minutes now, Brad. What the
recommendation you're saying is is that on the site specific requirement we could delete
Option 1, because that deals with -- or delete Number 1, because that deals with
parking lot expansion, and since we are not going to do that, we just delete that entirely.
Delete or amend option -- or Number 2, because in looking at the minutes -- and you're
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 15 of37
absolutely right, it is very confusing -- it appears that the Planning and Zoning
Commission was recommending deleting -- or Number 2 as well. That's dealing with
the current parking and landscaping for the current parking. We wouldn't include any
current landscaping requirements in the parking lot and that's okay?
Hawkins-Clark: That would certainly require an action of the Council. I mean strict
interpretation of the ordinance would -- well, no, I'm sorry. I do take that back, because
now that -- right. They are not -- because the ordinance is tied in. They would have to
bring it up to code if they were changing the parking lot.
Nary: Right and it appears in looking at the last part of the minutes, Commissioner
Centers says strike Number 2, which refers to the existing parking lot and the response
is okay and all the comments of number two. They intended to delete all references to
the parking lot as part of this CUP. Then Number 6, which is the Option A and B, it
appears that they meant to delete them both as well. In looking at the -- in looking at
the minutes, again, it says Item 6 has been covered, strike both options which require a
CUP for the higher grades, all the comments and requirements to remain. Does anyone
see anything else? Chairman Borup says no so they struck all of the things -- so
basically 1,2 and 6 was what they recommended to be deleted, if I'm reading this right.
Hawkins-Clark: Yes. Which, again, is a little bit of a conflict because at the beginning
of Commissioner Centers' motion he says that he wants to include the fact that the
church would have to come back for a separate CUP when they intend to expand the
school. At the beginning of the motion, he says to include it and, then, at the end of the
motion it's deleted. I was unable to contact anybody to clarify that but I think, generally,
what it would come down to is if you're comfortable with an expansion of the school
within the existing facility, that's one issue. If they are going to actually modify the site
plan, you know, that may impact neighbors a little bit more, it may justify a future CUP,
but --
De Weerd: Mr. Woodard, did you want to respond to some of this?
Woodard: Yes. It is a bit confusing. As I recall, the Planning and Zoning Meeting when
we -- first of all, on the landscaping relative to our existing parking lot, that was raised by
staff as that we would have to come into compliance. It dealt with planting trees along
the west side, which was required of us when we put in our Family Life Center, but the
Nampa Irrigation District would not let us plant trees there, so we put the trees out front.
We have the required number of trees. They are not in the location that was originally
planned. That's why the Planning and Zoning said drop whatever number that was
relative to that. As to the school, at this point, we are looking only for approval on the
preschool and that's all. We agreed that we would come back, should we decide to go
to a private school, raising it one grade at a time.
De Weerd: Does that answer your question, Mr. Nary?
Nary: It does.
De Weerd: Okay. Any further discussion? I will entertain a motion to close the Public
Hearing.

Item 11.
Public Hearing: CUP 02-030 Request for a Conditional Use Permit to
care for one to two additional children after school in an existing family
home daycare in an R-8 zone for Christina Floyd by Christina Floyd -
567 East Brown Bear Street:
De Weerd: Okay, Item Number 11, Public Hearing for CUP 02-030, request for a
Conditional Use Permit for care for one to two additional children for after school in an
existing family home daycare in an R-8 zone for Christina Floyd. I will open it with
staff's comments first.
Hawkins-Clark: Thank you, Madam Chair, Members of the Council. Item Number 11 is
a request for a Conditional Use Permit for a group childcare home. It is located there on
East Brown Bear Street. The application may seem somewhat familiar to you, as the
applicant was before the Council earlier this year with a Conditional Use Permit to also
have additional children, At that point, the Council determined that the number of
children that she was looking for up to six would not require a Conditional Use Permit,
since Council felt that those should not count against -- her own children should not
count against her in terms of calculating the number of children that she sees during the
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 18 of 37
day -- cares for during the day. At this point, she is coming back to care for a total of
eight children, so anything above five does require a Conditional Use Permit, so that's
the reason you're seeing it again. It is similar to the request that you saw earlier this
year. Her earlier money was refunded, by the way, but given the increase in children,
she came back for this second round so it is located in a subdivision. She has
residential houses on both sides, on the east and west sides. They are single-family
dwellings there. It's a rural -- fairly large rural residential open lot to the south.
Standard floor plan and site is there on the screen. Staff has reviewed it and made our
recommended conditions. J don't think there is anything in particular to point out on the
Planning and Zoning Commission' recommendation. They did recommend approval of
the request so unless you have any questions, I'll leave it at that.
De Weerd: Council, any questions at this time?
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: Just so I'm clear, Brad, in reading the staff report and the minutes, the only
difference between this application and the prior application is that Mrs. Floyd's children
are not part of the number that we are talking about now. She may be watching other
children that aren't her own that would exceed the minimum required is that what --
Hawkins-Clark: Correct.
Nary: Okay. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Is the applicant here this evening? Raise your right
hand. Do you promise to affirm that the testimony you give tonight is the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Floyd: Yes, I do.
De Weerd: Please state your name and address.
Floyd: My name is Christina Floyd. I live at 567 East Brown Bear in Meridian.
De Weerd: Do you have comments that you'd like to add? Do you agree with the staff
report and the Planning and Zoning recommendations?
Floyd: I agree with everything that --
De Weerd: Okay, Council, any questions? Okay. Thank you. This is a Public
Hearing, Is there anyone out in the public who would like to testify on this item? Okay.
Council?
Nary: Madam President?

Item 12.
Public Hearing: PP 02-020 Request for Preliminary Plat approval of 19
building lots and 2 other lots on 6.503 acres in an R-4 zone for Salmon
Rapids No.5 by Farwest, LLC - north of East Victory Road and west of
South Locust Grove Road:
De Weerd: Okay. Item Number 12 is a Public Hearing for a request for Preliminary Plat
of approval of 19 building lots and two other lots on 6.50 acres in an R-4 zone for
Salmon Rapids No.5 by Farwest, LLC. We will open with staff comments.
Hawkins-Clark: Madam President, Members of the Council, the application here before
you is for Salmon Rapids Subdivision Phase Number 5. The property is approximately
6.5 acres in size. It's highlighted there on the screen. It's there at the southwest corner
of the existing Salmon Rapids Subdivision, It has already been annexed. It does have
an R-4 zone, so they are proposing to plat the property. There is no annexation or
conditional use associated with the plat request. It is a 21-lot subdivision that consists
of 19 single-family buildings lots and two other lots. The revised subdivision design is
revised from the 1998 plat that you saw. On the screen is a copy of the plat that was
Meridian City Council
December 3,2002
Page 20 of 37
revised. While I'm thinking of it, if the Council does move on this tonight, the date on the
revised plat is November 26, 2002. In terms of changes from the 1998 plat that Marty
Goldsmith, the developer, came through with, they have added this stub street to the
south and that is a change that they have -- this Commission has reviewed that and
approved that location. They also have a common lot storm water retention area here
at the end of the cul-de-sac. There is some reorientation of the proposed public streets
as well. The topography, as you can maybe see on the screen by some of the contour
lines, the property does fall off to the southwest towards Mesa Way and Victory Road
fairly dramatically there, The current proposal is to raise the southern portion of the
subdivision in order to achieve maximum coverage and slope for the sanitary sewer.
Originally, the design would be for it to come through Kachina Estates, which abuts the
property to the west, but an easement was not able to be obtained for that sanitary
sewer, they were, at this point, bringing in fill and they would gravity to an existing sewer
that comes out of Salmon Rapids. That is some of the reason for the revised plat. The
Planning and Zoning Commission did meet on the application. They had recommended
approval. We had received the comments back from Becky Bowcutt, who is
representing the applicant in writing. Her comments are dated today, December 3rd.
She does state that they will comply with all of our recommended conditions, with the
exception of Item Number 6 and that deals, again, with the -- changing the storm -- the
25 year storm should be changed to 100 year storm, to be consistent with ACHD's plan
and staff agrees with that. Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you, Brad. Council, any questions for staff? Okay. Is the applicant
or their representative here? Good. I get to swear you in. Do you promise and affirm
that the testimony you give tonight is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
Bowcutt: I do.
De Weerd: Please state your name and address.
Bowcutt: Becky Bowcutt, 1100 East Vali-Hi, Eagle. I'm representing the applicant in
this matter. As Brad indicated, this is the fifth phase of a project that started in the -- I
believe the mid '90s. When that project came through as a Preliminary Plat, this
particular area was south of a lateral that traverses through the Salmon Rapids project.
Your sewer service line delineation at that time was that lateral, which I think is the Nine
Mile Lateral, or something to that effect. Gary Smith indicated when that project came
through that he could allow some of those lots to sewer into the Nine Mile Creek Trunk.
However, the 23 remaining lots in that southwest corner would not be allowed. We
talked to him over time and we submitted a Preliminary Plat once before, a couple years
ago, and we withdrew that application. There was always a question of the capacity of
the trunk lines that feed into that -- or the Nine Mile Creek trunk lines and those mains
that feed into it. At that time Sherbrooke Hollow, Sherbrooke Village, Thousand
Springs, Terra Wood, all of those other projects that come off that trunk were just
getting started and so there was question about the capacity. Since that time things
have changed, those projects have been -- or most of those projects have been built out
in their entirety. We also reduced the number of lots from 23 to 19. We changed the
configuration -- that was another area of contention at that time -- in order to make it
work with the street configuration that had been drawn up by the engineer at that time,
Meridian City Council
December 3,2002
Page 21 of 37
Roylance and Associates, we had to place substantial amounts of fill in the project,
somewhere around like eight feet. Gary at that time indicated that that was not
acceptable. We kind sat on it and looked at alternatives and I came up with the idea of
why don't we just change the configuration of the streets? Instead of running against
the contours, we will run with the contours, as you can see, that roadway running
diagonally. When we do that, then that minimizes the amount of cut and fill to take
place and also helped us substantially with our sewer. Also, by eliminating the four lots
also helped us. There are also no stub streets from this project to any of the adjoining
projects, so we worked with your staff and the Highway District to put a stub to the south
to Kachina Estates. When we went through the Planning and Zoning Commission, one
thing that I recommended, because I have worked on hillside projects with the city of
Boise, was a Master Grading and Drainage Plan. This particular area will have to be
graded, will have some cuts or have some fills. I provided the Planning and Zoning
Commission with kind of a quick and dirty concept of what those cuts and fills would
consist of. As you can see, here are the contours. These are the existing contours and
the darker contours are where we go in and grade. Everything is sloping to this corner,
so the impact of these existing lots you see here in gray would be minimal, because
they drain this way. What we have to do in Grading and Drainage Plan would be to
make sure that any runoff from their normal irrigation would be channeled to an
appropriate area and wouldn't just puddle back here. Here we have got about a foot of
fill. Here we have got 3.2 feet of fill. We have got five feet of fill over here and then we
have got 1 .7 and three. I do want to stress this is in concept only. My recommendation
to Planning and Zoning Commission and to the Public Works staff, if we have a Master
Grading and Drainage Plan that's done by the engineer -- and that's typically not done
when we are dealing with a flat piece of property, then that would be filed with the Public
Works and the Building Department. We would place a note on the plat that all lots
would be subject to that plan and that would include the builders, so we don't have a
road builder come in and regrade a lot, so that it drains inappropriately. Everything is
going to have to be consistent with the Master Grading and Drainage Plan. Your staff
really liked that recommendation and so did the Planning and Zoning Commission and
we think it's a good idea. We have explored, as Brad indicated, trying to get out to
Mesa Way and get into the Ten Mile Creek Trunk, which does not exist at this time, at
least in Victory Road. There are plans for it, but it is not in Victory Road, nor is it in
Mesa Way. Also, another thing that's changed, after we tried to obtain easements and
weren't successful, was your sewer service map changed and so this area was shown
to go back into the Nine Mile Creek Trunk. We are not coming before you asking for
deviation at this time from your sewer service boundaries. We want to get this
developed. It's been hanging around for years. When I had a neighborhood meeting,
some of the neighbors indicated to me that they had problems with kids out there on
motorcycles, shooting guns and it just kind of draws people. There are weeds, dust --
it's just become quite a nuisance and that we need to do something about it. One other
thing that came up was the issue of this Lot 56 here is a storm drainage lot. They said
that their association has been in the red for awhile, so we agreed that with each lot we
would set up like an initiation fee, in addition to, obviously, their annual association fee,
to help kind of build up that fund without putting any additional burdens upon the
association and what areas that they will be maintaining. We also talked about a
pressurized irrigation system. They had a supplemental well failure out in this area that
was hooked to the pressurized irrigation system that is owned and maintained by
Nampa-Meridian. We have been working with Nampa-Meridian and our civil engineers
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 22 of 37
to come up with some ideas. I submitted a letter to Brad Watson this evening from John
Anderson at Nampa-Meridian. It's been determined that the best course of action is for
the developer to go in and upgrade the panels and the pumps that feed this area.
There are multiple subdivisions on this system. That will add capacity to the system
and allow Salmon Rapids NO.5 to hook on. The Planning and Zoning Commission
wanted to make sure that this did not hook onto the domestic water for pressure
irrigation, because the neighbors did testify that they have pressure problems. We
believe that will solve that issue and that will be at our expense and not at the expense
of the existing residents. Other than Item 6, under B, that needs changed from 25 to
100, we are in agreement with all staffs recommendation and we just basically want to
kind of clean this up and finish this project out. Do you have any questions?
De Weerd: Becky, on the Drainage Plan, that will be noted on the plat, but who is going
to monitor that as those lots develop that -- as they grade -- do the final grade on them,
that that plan is followed?
Bowcutt: We discussed that, putting a note on the plat, and including language in the
covenants, having that on file with the Building Department. We typically don't find that
the residents are going to be hauling in a lot of fill material. You know, when they go in
and they grade it, contour it, they go in and they will do their landscaping and the critical
areas -- the critical areas we found were Lot 51 here. The resident that owns Lot 50
was concerned about their southern boundary and any drainage going this way and
then Lot 10 adjoins Lot 1 and we could have some drainage here. All we can do is put
notes on the plat, put it in the covenants, list it with the building department, when lots
are sold, you know, they have to be aware that there is a grading and drainage plan on
file that they -- if they want to come in and build up their backyard, they could not do it.
It is what it is. I don't know of any other way to approach it. We have the same thing
with hillside subdivisions in the City of Boise. They have to follow that. We just want to
make sure we don't have property damage, you know, from the existing residents. That
was the big concern and the two -- there were two lots that I saw that could potentially
be damaged if they were to come in and put a bunch of fill here that, you know,
adversely affected their fence or their landscaping or their drainage.
De Weerd: Gary is that something in the final before occupancy is granted that the
Building Inspector would look -- would look at?
Smith: Madam President, Council Members, we don't really have any way of checking
elevations on the grading. I guess we would have to rely on the developer to -- and ['m
not sure how they do it in the foothills, Becky. If they have some kind of certification that
the engineer does that the Grading Plan is in conformance with what's been approved --
I mean the actual grading is in conformance with what's been proved -- or the grading
plan has been approved I should say. We don't have any -- we don't have any way to
verify -- physically verify that the grading conforms to the approved plan, other than just,
you know, just an eyeball look see.
Bird: Well, as long as it's on the Final Plat and in the covenants and everything, if they
don't do it right -- and there is no way our Building Inspector can check for grades or
anything else -- and something did cause problems. You got all those legal rights to go
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 23 of 37
back on them, as long as it was done in those two areas, I would think. The Counsel
can confirm that, but I think that that's a very good plan the way Becky's got it down.
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: We have a Hillside Ordinance in Boise as well and I'm wondering if subsequent
to this -- and maybe this being a model, that might be an opportunity to look at an
ordinance to also sort of beef up the same thing. To make that a requirement and
whether that's a requirement for some sort of certification that the builder has to provide
-- something that the builder has to show that they have to be in conformance. That
might be another method to be able to assure that these don't change. This is,
obviously, nothing that's come up before, but this may be a good opportunity to look at
some type of ordinance change that might be of some assistance here. I think what
Mrs. Bowcutt is suggesting is the best we can do and I think that's a great way to go
about it, but that might be something else we subsequently do is to put some ordinance
in place to require that and that way we have another method, I think, as Mr. Bird is
saying, to enforce something that isn't done properly.
Bowcutt: Madam Chairman, if I could - on Gary's question concerning certification. We
do -- from the civil engineers, like if we are using civil and geo-technical engineers, they
do have to provide certification, Gary, that the subdivision, prior to any of the homes
being built, has been graded -- you know, the contours do match the Grading and
Drainage Plan approved by the city. There is a licensed engineer certification of that.
Then when it goes to the builder phase, usually on the Site Plan that the builder
submits, The contours are shown and the building envelopes are shown on those
Building Site Plans, so that the Building Department can see that they are not going in
and altering the original grading and drainage that's on there. Then I think the Building
Department at Boise City then verifies that somebody doesn't go out there and just start
building retaining walls where ever. I mean Mr. Nary may correct me, but I believe
that's how they do it there. Now, maybe, since you guys don't, obviously, have a big
inspection staff, you know, maybe you could do some certification prior to occupancy, I
guess, but it's still matching the plan. I guess that would be the only thing I could come
up with.
Smith: Madam President and Council Members. Becky, I think that's a great idea that if
the architect for the home builder would show the contours on the Site Plan for the
home, it would easy, then, for a building official to compare that with the approved
Grading Plan. It would be very simple to say that this is in compliance and, of course,
then when they go out and do their final inspection, they do look at that grading and
they would be able to see that, yes, that is, indeed, what's happened, they haven't done
something contrary to what's been approved. I think that's great and I also appreciate
your suggestion to develop a Grading Plan for this project. I know that, as you
mentioned, that was an issue when it came in some years ago, several years back, but
it did have a significant problem in drainage. I think that's a great idea.
De Weerd: Yes, I appreciate that. I do know that builders start moving the dirt around
and, in particular you think of landscaping, the homeowner doesn't really think that there
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 24 of 37
is a particular plan. Meridian just doesn't have the topography that really would warrant
too many exceptions -- or too many plans of this type. It's kind of a special
circumstance so that's --
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Yes. I think at least we have a model with Boise's hillside we have to follow
and I think what does happen mostly with Boise is that when it's a significant change -- I
mean if there is a -- you know, if there is a three-foot difference. They probably -- may
or may not catch all that. You're exact right, I think most of the ones that are the ones
that get caught when they make significant cuts into the hillside and put retaining walls
where there weren't any planned. Those are things that really -- that would be
noticeable, but with a smaller staff, those are the things that aren't going to get caught,
but an ordinance to order support, that I think would be a good way to go.
McCandless: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: Becky, forgive me if I didn't quite understand, but the sewer is adequate
for that area of the existing sewer now?
Bowcutt: Yes. Yes because it's known. The capacity is known. When we were first
talking about bringing this in, they were questioning whether they had capacity beyond
what had already been approved in the Preliminary Plat and platted. There is capacity
now. Yes. That is my understanding. That is no longer an issue.
McCandless: Thanks.
Bowcutt: Madam Chairman, as far as the certification, there is nothing in the conditions
of approval requesting any engineer certification on the grading, so that would have to
be added as a condition. Gary may have a suggestion on that language.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to testify on this
application? If you will raise your right hand. Do you promise and affirm that the
following testimony you give tonight is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth, so help you God?
Pope: I do.
De Weerd: Please state your name and address.
Pope: Clark Pope, 2705 South Pine Bar Way. I'm the owner of Lot 50 and I -- at the
risk of sounding redundant, I just want to go on record that we are real concerned about
the drainage issue. We have a basement there and if there is much fill brought in by the
developer or later down the road by the homeowner, it could present some real issues
for us. I just want to go on record to realize -- to realize that we do have a concern with
it.
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 25 of 37
De Weerd: With the discussion that has happened to this point, do you feel comfortable
with some of the safeguards that have been suggested?
Pope: I think they have done a real good job at the onset. I'm concerned about down
the road. I could go in and there is nothing to stop me from filling up my backyard
either. That's what I really don't want is somehow that our neighbor would come in and
fill that up then we'd start getting the flow into ours and maybe even flood the basement.
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: The statement at this time and what I was going to say earlier is the builder and
developer and stuff, I don't have any problem with them. It's the homeowner when he
comes in, takes the deal, and wants to do his own landscaping. It -- but, as I
understand, if you have that on the plat and in the covenants that you have to stay to it,
he might go ahead and do it, but if there is any damages, then he's legally liable. I
mean we just went through a little episode, because we didn't have stuff on a plat and if
we wouldn't have had it on a plat, we wouldn't have had to go through. I believe I'm
right, unless Mr. White here could say, but I think as long as you got that -- we protect
the people around. They can do it, but if they do damages, the homeowner, then he's
liable for it, as I understand.
De Weerd: Mr. White, would you care to respond to that?
White: Well, I agree. If it's on the plat and in the restrictive covenants, you can prevent
them from doing it. If they do it, you can make them take it out and stay in compliance
with the requirements of the plat and the requirements of the restrictive covenants. That
is a real live protection, it seems to me, to the other homeowners in the subdivision, and
that's true -- that's why we have restrictive covenants and those types of restrictions, so
that any person in the subdivision can enforce them. It is true that the city doesn't
enforce them, but it is the property owner's right to enforce them.
De Weerd: And I think you're going to be the best safeguard is if you see something
happen, that you bring that to the attention of the city, if it's during the building phase, or
to the homeowners after they have gained occupancy.
Pope: Thank you.
De Weerd: So I appreciate your comment. Is there any further testimony to be given?
Okay. Council?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: I'll entertain a motion to close the Public Hearing.
Bird: Madam President, I move that we close Public Hearing PP 02-020 for Salmon
Rapids No.5, Preliminary Plat approval of 13 building lots, and two other lots.

Salmon Rapids No.5 with the noted changes. Any further discussion?
Nary: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Nary.
Nary: I was just going to add, Mr. Bird, there was some discussion about including in
the Master Grading and Drainage Plan language that there be an additional conditional
requiring engineering certification of compliance with that.
Bird: And also, the 100-year Flood Plan was also part of it --
Nary: Okay. Thank you.
Bird: -- from the applicant.
De Weerd: Okay. Is that sufficient, Gary? Did you have any comments? No? Okay.
Okay. Hearing no further discussion, Mr. Berg, roll call.
Roll call vote: McCandless, aye; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried.

Item 13.
Public Hearing: RZ 02-004 Request for a Rezone of 8.2 acres from R-8
to C-G zones for Murdoch Subdivision No.2 by Howell Murdoch
Development Corporation - west of South Locust Grove Road on East
Watertower Street:
De Weerd: Okay. Item Number 13 Public Hearing for RZ 02-004, request for a rezone
of 8.2 acres from R-8 to a C-G zone for Murdoch Subdivision NO.2 and we will start
with staff comments.
Hawkins-Clark: Thank you, Madam President, Members of the Council. Murdoch
Subdivision No.2 is located on South Locust Grove Road. The ground is currently
platted. This is simply a rezone request. Woodbridge Subdivision is located on the east
side of Locust Grove Road. The Meridian Police Department is located on this large
parcel here. The rezone request is for these nine -- or is it nine? It's 10 I guess that is
10 lots that are part of Phase 2 in Murdoch Subdivision so they are requesting a rezone
that would essentially bring the Murdoch No. 1 to the west into a similar zone. The
reason they had to go with the R-8 originally, if you may recall, is the Comprehensive
Plan originally showed it as a single family residential and so they had to plat it with the
R-8. The Police Department -- the police station as a public -- quasi-public use in our
schedule of use control is fine with the R-8 zone. That's an allowed use there in that
zone, so they are not under this rezone legal description. The Planning and Zoning
Commission has recommended approval of the rezone request. You should have the
recommendation before you with the standard rezone conditions. I believe the applicant
is in agreement with that, so I will just leave it at that.
De Weerd: Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Is the applicant here? Raise your right hand. Do you promise and
affirm that the testimony you give tonight is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth, so help you God?
Fluke: I do.
De Weerd: Please state your name and address.
Fluke: Madam Chairman, Members of the Council, thank you very much. Daren Fluke
with JUB Engineers. We don't have really anything to add. A lot of you probably
remember the history of this application. It was a big rush to get it platted, so that you
could begin construction of the police station. Now we are back to getting the
appropriate zoning designation on there and we are in agreement with the conditions
that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended. Nothing more to say.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Any questions? This is a Public Hearing. Anyone else
like to enter testimony? Council, I would entertain a motion to close.
Bird: So moved.
Meridian City Council

McCandless: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. All those in favor say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
De Weerd: Okay. Discussion? Or motion?
McCandless: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mrs. McCandless.
McCandless: I move that we approve the request for rezone of 8.2 acres from R-8 to C-
G zones for Murdoch Subdivision No.2 by Howell Murdoch Development Corporation,
west of South Locust Grove on East Watertower Street. That the attorney draw up the
proper papers.
Nary: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to approve the request for a rezone
for RZ 02-004. Any further discussion? Okay. Hearing none, Mr. Berg, roll call.
Roll call vote: McCandless, aye; Nary, aye; DeWeerd, aye; Bird, aye.
De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
De Weerd: There is just a couple of items that -- we are getting into the holidays and
turkeys will be ordered. I know that Bruce Freckleton usually coordinates the smoked
turkeys, if someone would like theirs smoked, you need to get in touch with Bruce. I
told Bruce I would raise that today. Regarding the parade on Saturday, we have the go-
carts lined up and ready to go. They will be delivered to the park, so it's not like you
have to go out, find it, and drive it there.
Bird: Do they send a mechanic with it?
McCandless: What if the batteries run out?
De Weerd: Our families are invited to ride on the fire truck that will drive behind our go-
carts. Hopefully behind and not over, so -- and I did want to remind -- I don't know if we
will be distributing candy this year. Again, there is concern -- there is no throwing of the
candy and it's too bad Chief Bowers isn't here particularly we need to remind the
firefighters that you can't throw candy.
Bird: We need to remind Chief Worley's Officers not to come and get on me.
De Weerd: There is a liability issue and so just a friendly reminder. Our Government
Affairs Committee -- or the Chamber's Government Affairs Committee meets Thursday
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 29 of 37
at noon. We hope to maybe discuss a possible date. Mr. Bird is the only one that
wasn't there Monday, but we did invite our legislative representatives from Districts 14,
20 and 21 to join the city and the chamber to talk about issues facing the different
districts that represent Meridian. Hopefully, we can set a date there and I will let you all
know. I did talk with our Representative Tillman, Moyle, and Snodgrass afterwards and,
you know, I think this year, as they look at the budget and certainly, at the state sharing,
they will be looking for justification and accountability. Certainly, as we looking at our
task force to consider a mill levy increase, that's something that we really need to stress
for that committee is to independently review and justify what we are doing and come
up with a fair recommendation to our tax fares. So -- and I think that will help us in our
efforts to the legislature as well. For the Pre-Council on the 1 yth, we are coming up with
a number of items. I know that the sewer trunk line assessment is one of those. Is
there anything else pending that specifically needs to be on there? I know that our
attorney has given us a response on the Emergency Communications Act Board, the
ECAB. Does Council desire to have that as a Pre-Council discussion?
Nary: On the 1 yth?
De Weerd: The 1 yth is --
Berg: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Berg.
Berg: The rough draft that I had for Pre-Council on the 1 yth included a presentation by
Mike Wardle regarding the North Meridian Plan and also discussion of the mill levy.
There are a couple questions that you wanted responses back before you start putting
this task force together. Those are the two items I had and the Mayor had this trunk
sewer fee update on the 10th.
De Weerd: Okay.
Berg: I don't know how you want to --
De Weerd: Thank you. Do you --
Nary: Well, I have a feeling that with Mr. Wardle it might be tough to start Pre-Council at
6:00 if we are going to talk about the North Meridian Plan, so we may have to consider
starting earlier. I do think ECAB would be a good discussion when we have it. I don't
know when we need to have some -- I guess some input with the Mayor on that issue.
If the 1 yth is our only opportunity before January that might be a necessary thing as well.
I do know that the Boise City Attorney has requested to come to Pre-Council and the
1yth, then, would be the only opportunity, unless we wanted to wait until January. She
just wanted to give an update on what's gone on with the prosecution and the police
services contract so far and what's happened, how -- you know, some update for us as
to how that's going. It's not something that has to be done before the end of the year.
We can certainly have that at the end of January. She just requested some time to give
an update to City Council.
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 30 of 37
De Weerd: All right. If Council would be opposed if we could wait until the beginning of
the year -- at the beginning of the year for that.
Bird: I'd agree on that.
De Weerd: So an update from the prosecutor on prosecuting services and as far as the
ECAB board --
Worley: Madam President, if I could interject just for Council's information, there is an
ECAB board scheduled -- ECAB Board Meeting scheduled for December 10th, a week
from today, at 1 :00 P.M. The Mayor, myself, and Mr. Nichols are planning on attending
that to see what the discussion is, as it's continued.
Bird: On that ECAB on the discussion that all four of us should be here, so we'd have to
do that on the 17th, because Tammy is going to be not here next week. I think ifs very
important that all four of us are here and get the update on that.
De Weerd: Well, it's a very timely issue, so I think we do need to do it on the 1 yth and
because of the holidays I think the 17th will be packed, but keeping in mind the next two
weeks will be pretty light, if non-existent, so -- I don't think we need to meet on the 30th.
Will, do we have a final decision on that?
Berg: Madam President, I have been trying to get a hold of Mike Caven's to get a letter
from him that would withdraw his application and just to continue a continuation of the
Public Hearing for his project. That was our last instruction to do that and then we
would not hold meeting on the 30th, On the 1yth, just so that you know what our
schedule is for that meeting, the regular Council meeting, we have several public
hearings, but it's only three projects. That's where we are at right now. The 10th is
three projects also for Public Hearing.
De Weerd: If we can also add, since we will have the trunk line assessment
conversation, that also we want to address the Pinnacle Engineers Blackstone, Coral
Creek issue, lift station, and let's go ahead, then, and put the ECAB on the 1yth as well.
Berg: We'll start at 4:00?
Nary: Did we get a raise? I don't recall that.
Bird: I definitely think we better start at 5:00. The North Meridian Plan is going to take
awhile, I think. There will be questions --
Berg: Jon Wardle has expressed that his presentation would be 20 minutes. The
questions back to him is what will determine the length after that.
Nary: And Jon Wardle you said?
Berg: Excuse me. Mike and Jon will both be there.
Meridian City Council
December 3,2002
Page 31 of 37
Bird: We need to give them a full hour and then start our regular one at 6:00, I believe,
because --
De Weerd: And, staff, you have had time to -- adequate time to comment back to Jon
or Mike on those?
Hawkins-Clark: We have not.
De Weerd: Okay. Okay. Well, please, feel free to -- for you and your staff members
that have an interest to join us and we will just have a good dialogue going at the time,
because that's an extremely important plan to our future development.
Hawkins-Clark: I don't know if this is the appropriate place -- they have submitted for a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment with that, so it's not just the plan, which typically is an
1,1 OO-dollar fee. They have asked for that to be waived. I guess my feeling -- the city
has been a stakeholder in this plan, you know, since the beginning. It is a fairly
substantial fee. I wasn't comfortable making that decision. That's something that -- and
I don't know if that needs to be made in a different forum or not, but I just thought I'd
throw that out there.
De Weerd: I think we probably should have it on our agenda as well.
Hawkins-Clark: At the same meeting?
De Weerd: Yes.
Hawkins-Clark: Okay.
De Weerd: But I appreciate you bringing that up, so -- also I noticed some dialogue
going about Sage and membership dues. I would recommend we consider that at the
beginning of the year as well and maybe invite them in for a presentation. Will, if you
will note that as a Pre-Council item for January. Gary, do you have something?
Smith: Madam President, I was just wondering if you or Will could recap agenda items
for the Pre-Council Meeting. I have been trying to make some notes, but I'm not sure
that I have got them accurately.
De Weerd: Okay. Will?
Berg: Okay. I will try to make heads or tails of this. My understanding is right now we
don't have anything for the 10th, unless ~ou put it on there after your meeting with the
Mayor, because -- because it's -- the 101 , the only thing I had was the sewer trunk and
we are not going to have it on there. Whatever else you may have for the 10th. I do not
have anything else for the 10th Pre-Council Meeting.
De Weerd: Okay. What is your question, Will, on that?
Berg: Unless you and the Mayor have some after your meeting this week.
Meridian City Council
December 3,2002
Page 32 of 37
De Weerd: Oh. Okay.
Berg: For the 17th, I guess we will start with Mike Wardle's presentation at 5:00 and
then following that, not necessarily in any order, but we have the mill levy continued
discussion, the ECAB board -- ECAB update. The Blackstone, Coral Creek request and
then the sewer trunk fee update.
De Weerd: Will, why don't we have the Blackstone, Coral Creek at the same time as we
do the trunk line assessment on the 10th?
Nary: Yes. I guess I thought we were doing the sewer trunk line on the 10th.
Bird: That one on the 10th.
Berg: Okay. I didn't -- my thought -- because Tammy wasn't going to be here, you
wanted -- okay. I'm sorry. Okay. Sorry, Gary. Sewer trunk fee update and Coral
Creek Blackstone request on the 10th. Is that correct?
De Weerd: Yes.
Smith: That's fine.
De Weerd: And then following after the beginning of the year we will have discussion
on Sage, as well as the prosecuting services.
Smith: Madam President? Could I ask a procedural question?
De Weerd: You can ask it.
Smith: Was it ever the intention of the Council to be able to make decisions during the
Pre-Council Meetings, not to include Public Hearings, but other decisions? I was trying
to resurrect that from my memory to see if that was faulty or not.
Nary: Yes.
De Weerd: Yes. You remembered correctly. We do want to have the ability to make
decisions at Pre-Council.
Smith: Okay and the reason I ask is there is sometimes some of these things that could
be -- rather than having to bring them back to a Council Meeting, if we could get them
decided at the Pre-Council meeting, then, you know, it may save a week or maybe two
weeks. At least we'd get it off our plate and if we could do that that would be great.
De Weerd: Yes.
Nary: Yes.
Smith: Thank you.
Meridian City Council
December 3, 2002
Page 33 of 37
De Weerd: Mr. Berg.
Berg: Madam President, with that follow-up remark, I guess it's important that we have
the right description of the issue on our agenda, since we have to notice each and every
one of those Pre-Council Meetings as a special meeting. I mean that's important for us,
too. Discussion of this letter doesn't really say we are going to make a decision on this
letter. You know, if I need to be more exact in the items, then, I need to do that on that
noticing, unless we turned around and change our ordinance to start the City Council
meetings at 6:00 and just not have any hearings until 7:00.
Bird: I like this format.
De Weerd: No, I --
Berg: I know you may like this format, but it's a little bit more work for us to get
everything done. If we forget to notice it, then you wouldn't have it. I mean that's our --
that's always been my concern.
Bird: That's with everything. I mean that's with the Council Meeting and everything
else, I mean if you forget to notice it. You're not going to forget to notice it or anything
and if it does once -- I mean how many decisions have we made? We just set this up.
As I understood Mr. Nichols, when we set this up we made the way that we could pass
on something. Not a Public Hearing, not anything like that, but if something come up,
we could vote on it, because it's noticed as a public meeting. Am I not right? That's the
way I understand this Pre-Council.
De Weerd: Well -- and keep in mind, you know, in particular, the thing from Pinnacle
Engineers, that that would most likely pend an action -- have a pending action. You
know, just make sure, in particular on that item, those that we anticipate there could be
an action done, that you phrase it however you legally need to phrase it.
Berg: There is nothing in our ordinance that talks about Pre-Council Meetings. Those
are special meetings. That's all they are so however we notice them is how we deal
with them.
Nary: Well, we are currently noticing them now and so I think maybe just what we are
saying, Will, is if it needs some clarity from the departments as well. If there is a
potential decision to be made, then that should be adequate, I think, notice in the
agenda to fist potential possible decision or something like that. I think that will be okay,
wouldn't you say?
De Weerd: Possible action.
Nary: Or possible action to follow.
Berg: We can word it in such a way -- there is a lot of things -- the beginning of this was
the Pre-Council was to take the place of the workshop to discuss items, so that you --
since you don't have any other time to discuss items.
Meridian City Council
December 3,2002
Page 34 of 37
Nary: We just didn't want to be stifled by the fact that we couldn't make a decision, we
had to set it over another week for the later meeting to try to make a decision on
something. So -- but I think if we do that -- and we can always amend the agenda at the
beginning of the meeting to reflect that we may be making a decision if we find that out
after it's public. That again -- and they would again just need to know it.
De Weerd: Okay. Are there any other items of business?
Bird: Madam President?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we adjourn.
McCandless: Second.
Nary: I was just thinking it would have taken an hour longer without the Mayor than with
me here. I don't know why.
Bird: You know, that's -- I can't figure it out. Last week we were done and, you know--
I wasn't going to blame you, though, Bill.
De Weerd: There is a motion to adjourn and a second. All those in favor say aye.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES
De Weerd: Meeting adjourned at 8:50.

DENIAL OF APPLICATION
CASE NO. AP-OI-00
BY: WALTMORROW
This matter coming before the City Council on August 21,2001, and tabled until
September 4,2001, September 18, 2001, October 2,2001, July 23,2002, August 6, 2002 and
August 20,2002, at the hour of 6:30 o'clock p.m., at the Meridian City Hall, 33 East Idaho,
Meridian, Idaho, upon the appeal of Walt Morrow, and the Council having received the Appeal
Application Form, and the record in this matter, and having heard the arguments and presentation
of Shari Stiles, PlaJming and Zoning Administrator and Daunt Whitman, City Building Official,
and the Applicant, Walt Morrow, and being fully advised in the premises issues the following
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Decision and Order:
ORDER GRANTING APPEAL, OVERRULING PLANNING
AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S DENIAL OF APPLICATION -- 1
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Walt Morrow submitted for approval, to the Building Department, two sets of
plans and specifications for an accessory building to an existing land use at 2340
W. Franklin Road within an I-L zone, and Daunt Whitman ofthe Building
Department approved the plans and specifications as a residential accessory
building.
2. The Planning and Zoning Administrator's office placed a stop work order upon
the accessory building to an existing land use located at 2340 W. Franklin Road
upon the basis the Administrator determined that this building permit request did
not meet the criteria for an accessory building, and, issued concerns in an e-mail
on October 4, 2000, on the project to Daunt Whitman, in which the Administrator
listed problems in the permit request for an accessory building to an existing land
use, and which items are addressed in the February 2, 2001 letter to Mr. Walt
Morrow from Gary Smith, Public Works Director, which included his opinion
that the building needed to be processed as a request for a Conditional Use
Permit, with the following additional concerns:
a. Annexation requirements for the property have not been met, including
making provisions for how the property will be served with sewer and
water and design review of all buildings.
b. The submitted building plans show expansion of a non-conforming use
regarding landscaping, paving, land use, etc.
c. Needed right-of-way dedication (sale) to ACHD for future widening of
Franklin Road will place this building location within the setback area as
set forth by City Ordinance.
d. Water supply is not available to meet Uniform Fire Code requirements.
e. ACHD impact fees need to be paid.
3. The comments of Joseph Silva, Deputy Fire Chief, Fire Prevention, were
reviewed by the Council and the following conditions are required:
Project Summary:
Proposed Use:
Building size:
Occupancy classification:
Type of Construction:
Storage:
Storage Building
8,750 square feet
S-2 (as determined by the Building Department)
Type III - N
Equipment & Livestock/Maternity Area
Public Water Supply Required When Available:
1. The Owner acknowledges that City water is not currently available to the
property, and that the water flow available from the Owner's well is
insufficient to meet the requirements of the Uniform Fire Code. The
Owner assumes the risk that may result from completion of construction
of the building, and any subsequent fire which may occur without
ORDER GRANTING APPEAL, OVERRULING PLANNING
AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S DENIAL OF APPLICATION -- 2
adequate fire protection. The water supply required by Appendix III-A of
the 1997 Uniform Fire Code given building size of8,750 and construction
type ofIII-N would be 2,000 GPM for a 2-hour duration at a minimum
residual pressure of20psi. Two fire hydrants are required to deliver this
flow and are typically spaced on 450' centers. The closest fire hydrant is
usually 250' from the driveway or point on the street. When a water main
is available to the W. Franklin Road frontage of Mr. Morrow's property,
he will be required to connect to City water, and install two hydrants (at
his cost).
Other Miscellaneous Requirements:
1. Ensure that the address for this building is prominently posted and visible
from, and face towards, W. Franklin.
2. The address numerals shall be at least 6" tall and their color shall contrast
distinctly with their background.
Fire Extineuishers:
1. Portable fire extinguishers shall be installed in occupancies and locations as
set forth in this code and as required by the Chief. UFC 1002.1 Fire
extinguishers shall be of the 2A 10BC size and have the top of the
extinguisher hung 3' to 5' offthe floor. The fire extinguishers locations shall
be by each front door, the travel distance shall not exceed 75' to a fire
extinguisher.
General Requirements:
1. Storage shall not exceed 12' in height. UFC Section 209
2. Ceiling clearance shall be maintained at no less than 2' in unsprinkled
buildings. UFC 1103.3.2.2.
Additionally, any overlooked hazardous condition and/or violation of the Uniform
Building and Fire Code does not imply approval of such condition or violation.
4. If at some point the building, which is located within an I-L zone, is to be used
commercially, then at that point a permit for tenant improvements shall be
obtained and the process of a certificate of zoning compliance and the entire
process for commercial application review shall be followed, including all fire
codes for commercial zones shall be met.
5. Walt Morrow timely filed an appeal of the Administrator's determination and
decision for hearing before the City Council.
6. The accessory building would occupy an existing land use.
7. Walt Morrow contested the allegations contained in the Administrator's
determination, and presented evidence that was uncontroverted that: (1) the City
of Meridian does not now have, and has not had, a design review process; (2) the
ORDER GRANTING APPEAL, OVERRULING PLANNING
AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S DENIAL OF APPLICATION -- 3
property on which the building was proposed is more than 300 feet from the
nearest City sewer and water services and therefore is not required to be
connected atthis time; (3) the site is one parcel totaling 17.5 acres of which 16
acres is under agricultural use; (4) the agricultural uses are "grandfathered" as
nonconforming uses that existed when the property was annexed and zoned
industrial; (5) ACHD does not require roadway dedication at this time; (6) ACHD
indicates no impact fees are due for the building; and (7) because City water is not
available to the site at this time, City water is not available for fire flow.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The City ordinances provide at Meridian City Code Section 11-3-4 for an appeal,
hearing and review by the City Council of an order, requirement, decision,
interpretation or determination by the Planning and Zoning Administrator.
2. Good reasons exist for overruling the Administrator's decision because the City
Council found the Administrator's decision was not based on established facts.
DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPEAL, OVERRULING PLANNING
AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S DENIAL OF A STOP WORK ORDER AT
2340 W. FRANKLIN ROAD OF WALT MORROW
Based upon the above and foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law IT
IS HEREBY ORDERED AND THIS DOES ORDER THAT:
1. The decision of the Planning and Zoning Administrator on the stop work
order for the accessory building by Walt Morrow is hereby overruled, and
the Applicant, Walt Morrow, is hereby allowed to continue the building
construction at the accessory building located next to his residence located
at 2340 West Franklin Road, Meridian, Idaho, ifthe conditions 2, 3 and 4,
below, are met.
2. The building shall only be used for storage and a loafing area for cattle.

Re: North locust Grove Road Sewer Extension Request
This item was discussed in the Pre-Council meeting held on November 26, listed on that
agenda as "Discussion of Sewer and Water Extension on Locust Grove for Joint School
District No.2. "
My memo to you dated November 18, 2002, provided information on the location of our
existing facilities in this area and the distance of the extension that the School District is
requesting. As discussed, a water line extension in Locust Grove to a point past the School
District property, was previously approved by you and is ready for bid with expectation that it
will be completed in spring 2003. We estimate an extension of the sewer to this location will
cost approximately $80,000, not including the cost for any required pavement replacement.
You have also previously received a copy of the request letter by the school district for this
extension.
If you approve of this request, we will move forward with design and bidding of the
approximate 2100 lineal foot sanitary sewer extension.

City Of Meridian
City Clerk Office
Mayor & Council:
Attached is a copy of correspondence that our City Engineer, Brad Watson, PE received
from Wendel Bigham of Joint School District No.2. The second paragraph of his letter is a
request for the City to extend water and sewer service to a point approximately 720 feet
south of the intersection of Locust Grove Road and Chinden Boulevard.
Previously you have approved extension of city water in Locust Grove Road to a church site
adjacent to and northerly of this location. The proposed elementary and alternative high
school sites are located, respectively, to the southwest and south of the church site, as
shown on the attached drawing. Therefore, water is already scheduled to be extended past
the frontage of this parcel, although city approval to serve the school site parcels has not
been given.
It is our estimate that only the proposed alternative high school site could be served by
gravity with a sewer extension in Locust Grove. If a sewer extension is approved in Locust
Grove, it would be appropriate to continue the extension to the north, or at least investigate
the continued extension, for service to the proposed church site.
Also attached is a small scale drawing showing the location of our existing water and sewer
system in this area. A sanitary sewer line would need to be extended approximately 1950
feet to reach the south boundary of the church property.
From the desk of...
The sewage flow for these proposed school sites and
church site would be handled by the Vienna Woods
subdivision lift station, and would be pumped into the White

(
Drain sewer trunk line. Most likely, the capacity of the Vienna Woods lift station will need to
be increased to accommodate this increase of flow, Sewer service to properties within the
White Drain sewer service area will be diminished as service to properties outside of its
service area are allowed. It appears from activity north of McMillan Road, that the
development community will soon construct a major portion of the North Slough Sewer line.
Eliminating the Vienna Woods lift station will require an approximate one-mile extension of
the North Slough sewer line, beyond what is planned by developers at this time.
Please advise me as to how you would like to proceed with this request for water service
and for sewer service, outside an existing sewer service area, and outside of our present
corporate limits.

Re: New Academy High School, Locust Grove Road
Dear Mr. Watson:
As you are aware the recent passage of our bond issue approved the construction of a new academy high
school. TIle site for tlris facility is located on Locust Grove Road a half mile north of McMillan on the west
side of the road. I have attached a vicinity map (referred to as Stetson property) and an approximate
location map for the Academy High School. The property in question is currentIy not owned by the school
district, however, a land exchange is in progress with Stetson Properties, LP and closure of the exchange is
dependent upon city utility services being made available at tIle desired school site.
At tlris time, we are requesting that the city of Meridian extend sewer and water to tlris site. It should be
noted tIlat at a future date an elementary school will also be constructed on tIlis site. We have retained
Hummel Architects to design the facility, should tIley call you regarding tItis project and tIle fortllconting
applications please communicate Witll tllem as tIley will be a designated agent of the school district
Your timely attention and response to this request will greatly assist us in complying willl tIle requirements
of Meridian City for the essential public services.
Sincerely,

CRIME
Meridian continues to be a very safe city, with only 25 violent crimes committed in the
first nine months of 2002. As noted in the budget presentations, property crime,
specifically theft, continues to be the largest contributor to the overall crime numbers in
Meridian. Theft, by its nature, is largely preventable by property owners who take
precautions to safeguard their property. The Meridian Police Department continues in
our efforts to find a suitable individual to fill the part-time crime prevention position to
help citizens better understand ways to protect property from thieves. On a positive note,
the companion property crime of burglary is showing a significant decrease so far this
year.
Equally positive are the clearance numbers. Overall, MPD officers and detectives are
clearing 38% of reported crime, up from 16.2% last year.

ORDINANCE - 5
MDC REVIT PLAN ORDINANCE
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF MERIDIAN:
SECTION 1: It is hereby found and determined that:
(a) The Project Area as defined in the Meridian Revitalization Plan is a deteriorated
or a deteriorating area as defined in the Law and the Act and qualifies as an eligible urban
renewal area under the Law and Act.
(b) The rehabilitation, conservation, and redevelopment of the urban renewal area
pursuant to the Meridian Revitalization Plan is necessary in the interests of public health, safety,
and welfare ofthe residents of the City of Meridian.
(c) There continues to be a need for the MDC to function in the City of Meridian.
(d) The Meridian Revitalization Plan conforms to the Comprehensive Plan of the City
of Meridian.
(e) The Meridian Revitalization Plan gives due consideration to the provision of
adequate park and recreation areas, and facilities, that may be desirable for neighborhood
improvement (recognizing the primary commercial component ofthe Meridian Revitalization
Plan, the need for overall public improvements, the proposed public open space), and shows
consideration for the health, safety, and welfare of any residents or businesses in the general
vicinity of the urban renewal area covered by the Meridian Revitalization Plan.
(f) The Meridian Revitalization Plan affords maximum opportunity consistent with
the sound needs of the City as a whole for the rehabilitation and redevelopment of the urban
renewal area by private enterprises.

displaced families residing within the urban renewal area.
(h) The base assessment roll of the project does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the
assessed value of the City of Meridian.

that will include both residential and nonresidential uses. Provided, however, the City Council
finds that if portions of the Project Area and Revenue Allocation Area are deemed "open land,"
the criteria set forth in the Law and Act have been met.
SECTION 3: The City Council finds that one of the Meridian Revitalization Plan
objectives to increase the residential opportunity to include affordable housing does meet the
sound needs of the City and will provide housing oppOltunity in an area that does not now
contain such opportunity, and the portion of the Project Area which is identified for
nonresidential uses is necessary and appropriate to facilitate the proper growth and development
standards in accordance with the objectives of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan to overcome
economic disuse, the need for improved traffic patterns, and the need for the correlation of this
area with other areas of the City.
SECTION 4: The Meridian Revitalization Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and is
made a part hereof, and the same is hereby approved. The City Clerk and/or the MDC may make
certain technical corrections or revisions in keeping with the information and testimony

ACHD has authority over the planning, location, design, construction, reconstruction, and
maintenance of the City rights-of-way and accompanying curbs, gutters, culverts, sidewalks,

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Notice is hereby given that the Meridian City Council, will hold, during its regular meeting of October 8,
2002, at 7:00 o'clock p.m., a public hearing in the City Council Chambers, City Hall, 33 East Idaho Avenue,
Meridian, Idaho, to consider an ordinance approving the Meridian Revitalization Plan (the "Plan"), of the Meridian
Development Corporation (the "MDC"). The boundaries of the Plan area and Project area are generally described
below. The Plan proposes that the MDC undertake urban renewal activities pursuant to the Idaho Urban Renewal
Law of ]965, as amended, Chapter 20, Title 50, Idaho Code (the "Law"). The Plan being considered for adoption
contains a revenue allocation tlnancing provision pursuant to the L oca] Economic D eve]opment A ct of 1988, as
amended, Chapter 29, Title 50, Idaho Code (the "Act"), that will cause property taxes resulting from any increases in
equalized assessed valuation in excess of the equalized assessed valuation as shown on the base assessment roll as of
January 1, 2002, to be allocated to the MDC for urban renewal purposes.
The general scope and objectives of the Plan are:
(a) the elimination of environmental deficiencies in the Project Area, including, among others,
obsolete and aged building types, and inadequate public improvements and facilities;
(b) the assembly of land into parcels suitable for modern, integrated development with appropriate
setbacks, parking, pedestrian, and vehicular circulation in the Project Area;
(c) the re-planning, redesign, and development of undeveloped and underdeveloped areas which are
stagnant or improperly utilized;
(d) the strengthening of the economic base of the Project Area and the community by the installation
of needed public improvements and facilities to stimulate new commercial expansion,
employment, and economic growth;
(e) the establishment and implementation of performance criteria to assure high site design standards
and environmental quality and other design elements which provide unity and integrity to the
entire Project Area;
(t) the strengthening of the tax base by encouraging private development, thus increasing the assessed
valuation of properties within the Revenue Allocation Area and the Project Area as a whole, and
benetlting the various taxing districts in which the Project Area is located; and
(g) the creating of open plazas, civic buildings, gateway entries, and the like.
Any such land uses as described in the Plan will be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan of the
City of Meridian. Land made available will be developed by private enterprises or public agencies as authorized by
law. The Plan defmes various public and private improvements which may be made within the Meridian
Revitalization area.
The Plan Area and Project Area herein referred to are located as follows:
An area consisting of 660 acres with boundaries of the 1-84 freeway on the south, Cherry
Lane/Fairview on the north, 4th Street on the west, and Five Mile Creek on the east.
The Revenue Allocation Area will consist of all of the Project Area (see map below).

MERIDIAN REVIT ALIZA TION PLAN
MERIDIAN URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY
(also known as the Meridian Development Corporation)
SECTION 100
INTRODUCTION
This is the Meridian Revitalization Plan (the "Plan") for the Meridian Area Project (the
"Project") in the City of Meridian (the "City"), County of Ada, State of Idaho, and consists of the
text contained herein and the following attachments:
Description of the Project Area and Revenue Allocation Area Boundaries
(Attachment 1);
Project Area-Revenue Allocation Area Boundary Map (Attachment 2);
Private Properties Which May Be Acquired by:MDC (Attachment 3);
Map Depicting Expected Land Uses and Current Zoning Within
Revenue Allocation Area and Project Area (Attachment 4);
Economic Feasibility Study for the Meridian Urban Renewal Area
(Attachment 5).
The term "Project" is used herein to describe the overall activities defined in this Plan
and conforms with the statutory definition of "urban renewal project." Reference is specifically
made to Idaho Code Section 50-2018(j) for the various activities contemplated by the term
"Project." Such activities include both private and public development of property within the
Urban Renewal Area. The term "Project" is not meant to refer to a specific activity or
development scheme.
This Plan was prepared by consultants and staff of the Meridian Urban Renewal Agency,
also known as the Meridian Development Corporation (the ":MDC"), reviewed and
recommended by the :rvrnC Board of Commissioners, pursuant to the State of Idaho Urban
Renewal Law, chapter 20, title 50, Idaho Code (the "Law"); the Local Economic Development
Act, chapter 20, title 50, Idaho Code (the "Act"); and all applicable local laws and ordinances.
The proposed redevelopment of the Project Area as described in this Plan conforms to the
Comprehensive Plan of the City of Meridian, as adopted by the City Council on August 6, 2002.
The:MDC may create several planning documents that generally describe the overall
Project and identify certain specific public and private capital improvement projects. Because of
the changing nature of the Project, these documents, by necessity, must be dynamic and flexible.
The :rvrnC anticipates that these documents will be modified as circumstances warrant. Any
modification, however, shall not be deemed as an amendment of this Plan. No modification will
1 -
August 23, 2002 (l2:43PM)
2
be deemed effective if it is in conflict with this Plan. The planning documents are purposely
flexible and do not constitute specific portions of the Plan. Provided, however, prior to the
adoption of any planning document or proposed modification to any planning document, the
:rvIDC shall notify the City and publish a public notice of such proposed modification at least
thirty (30) days prior to the consideration of such proposed modification, thus providing the City
and any other interested person or entity an opportunity to comment on said proposed
modification. The:rvIDC Board shall consider any such comments and determine whether to
adopt the modification. The planning documents apply to redevelopment activity within the
Project Area as described herein. In the event of any conflict between this Plan and the
appended documents, the provisions of this Plan shall control. The:rvIDC intends to rely heavily
on certain design standards to be adopted by the City which will cover most, if not all, of the
Project Area. Those design standards, as of the effective date of this Plan, remain under
discussion by the City and the City Planning and Zoning Commission.
This Plan provides the :rvIDC with powers, duties, and obligations to implement and
further the program generally formulated in this Plan for the redevelopment, rehabilitation, and
revitalization of the area within the boundaries of the Project (the "Project Area"). The 11DC
retains all powers allowed by the Law and Act. Because of the long-term nature of this Plan and
the need to retain in the 11DC flexibility to respond to market and economic conditions, property
owner and developer interests, and opportunities from time to time presented for redevelopment,
this Plan does not present a precise plan or establish specific projects for the redevelopment,
rehabilitation, and revitalization of any area within the Project Area, nor does this Plan present
specific proposals in an attempt to solve or alleviate the concerns and problems of the
community relating to the Project Area. Instead, this Plan presents a process and a basic
framework within which specific plans will be presented, specific projects will be established,
and specific solutions will be proposed, and by which tools are provided to the :rvIDC to fashion,
develop, and proceed with such specific plans, projects, and solutions.
Implementation of this Plan will require public co-investment to help stimulate desired
private development. Typically, the public will fund enhanced public facilities like streets,
sidewalks, parking garages, parks, public buildings such as City Hall, or plazas which, in turn,
create an attractive setting for adjacent private investment in office, retail, housing or hotels,
entertainment and convention-related facilities.
The particular projects or redevelopment projects by private entities described herein are
not intended to be an exclusive or exhaustive list of potential redevelopment activity. Allowed
projects are those activities which comply with the Law and the Act and meet the overall
objectives of this Plan.
The purposes of the Law and Act that will be attained through and the major goals of this
Plan are:
(a) the elimination of environmental deficiencies in the Project Area, including,
among others, obsolete and aged building types, and inadequate public
improvements and facilities;
2-

(b) the assembly of land into parcels suitable for modern, integrated development
with appropriate setbacks, parking, pedestrian, and vehicular circulation in the
Project Area;
(c) the replanning, redesign, and development of undeveloped and underdeveloped
areas which are stagnant or improperly utilized;
(d) the strengthening of the economic base of the Project Area and the community by
the installation of needed public improvements and facilities to stimulate new
commercial expansion, employment, and economic growth;
(e) the establishment and implementation of performance criteria to assure high site
design standards and environmental quality and other design elements which
provide unity and integrity to the entire Project Area;
(f) the strengthening of the tax base by encouraging private development, thus
increasing the assessed valuation of properties within the Revenue Allocation
Area and the Project Area as a whole, and benefiting the various taxing districts in
which the Project Area is located; and
(g) the creating of open plazas, civic buildings, gateway entries, and the like.

SECTION 102
PROVISIONS NECESSARY TO MEET STATE AND
LOCAL REQUIRE:MENTS
SECTION 102.1
CONFORMANCE WITH STATE OF IDAHO URBAN
RENEWAL LAW OF 1965. AS A:MENDED
The laws of the State of Idaho allow for an urban renewal plan to be submitted by any
interested person or entity in an area certified as an Urban Renewal Area by the Meridian City
Council. The original Project Area was certified by the Meridian City Council by
Resolution 01-367 on July 24,2001. The eligible area was modified by the inclusion of an
additional and revised area through the adoption of Resolution No. _ on _,
In accordance with the Idaho Urban Renewal Law of 1965 this Plan was submitted to the
Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Meridian. After consideration of the Plan, the
Commission filed its recommendation with the City Council stating that this Plan is in
conformity with the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Meridian.
SECTION 103
HISTORY AND CURRENT CONDITIONS
Much of the Project Area was the subject of a Treasure Valley Futures Study, entitled
"Old Town Meridian Project," encompassing what is referred to as the "Blue Zone" in the
Economic Feasibility Study, Attachment 5. Similarly, much of the Blue Zone has been the
subject of the Downtown Core Existing Conditions Report. Both the Treasure Valley Futures
Study and the Downtown Core Existing Conditions Report are background documents available
as an appendix to the Plan. Particularly, several properties in the Blue Zone provide a link to the
City's historic culture.
SECTION 104
PURPOSE OF ACTIVITIES
The description of activities, public improvements, and the estimated costs of those items
are intended to create an outside limit of the NIDC's activity. The NIDC reserves the right to
change amounts from one category to another, as long as the overall total amount estimated is
not substantially exceeded. The items and amounts are not intended to relate to anyone
particular development, developer, or owner. Rather, the NIDC intends to discuss and negotiate
with any owner or developer who seeks lvIDC assistance. During such negotiation, the NIDC
will determine, on an individual basis, the eligibility of the activities sought for lvIDC funding,
the amount the NIDC may fund by way of percentage or other criteria. The MDC will also take
into account the amount of revenue allocation proceeds estimated to be generated from the
developer's activities. The MDC also reserves the right to establish by way of policy, its funding
percentage or participation, which would apply to all developers and owners.
The activities listed in Attachment 5 are also prioritized by way of importance to the
MDC by the amounts funded, and by year of funding, with earlier years reflecting the more
important activities. As required by the Law and Act, the NIDC will adopt more specific budgets
annually.

The MDC reserves the right to prioritize the several projects described in this Plan. The
MDC reserves the right to retain its flexibility in funding the various activities.
SECTION 200
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AREA
The boundaries of the Project Area and of the Revenue Allocation Area are described in
Attachment 1, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and are shown on
the Project Area and Revenue Allocation Area Boundary Map, attached hereto as Attachment 2
and incorporated herein by reference. The Project Area includes several parcels of property
which are located outside the geographical boundaries of the City but within the City's impact
area. Under the Law and Act, for this Plan to be effective over such properties, an agreement
must be entered into with Ada County.
SECTION 300

Project Area by:
1. The acquisition of certain real property;
2. The demolition or removal of certain buildings and improvements for
public rights-of-way for streets, utilities, walkways, and other
improvements for public facility building sites, to eliminate unhealthful,
insanitary, or unsafe conditions, improve density, eliminate obsolete or
other uses detrimental to the public welfare, or otherwise to remove or to
prevent the spread of blight or deterioration;
3. The provision for participation by property owners within the Project
Area;
4. The management of any property acquired by any under the ownership
and control of the tvIDC;
5. The provision for relocation assistance to displaced Project occupants, as
required by law;

7. The disposition of property for uses in accordance with this Plan;
8. The redevelopment of land by private enterprise or public agencies for
uses in accordance with this Plan;
9. The rehabilitation of structures and improvements by present owners, their
successors, and the MDC;
10. The preparation and assembly of adequate sites for the development and
construction of facilities for commercial, retail, entertainment, lodging,
and governmental uses;
11. To the extent allowed by law, lend or invest federal funds to facilitate
redevelopment; and
12. The construction of foundations, platforms, and other like structural forms
necessary for the provision or utilization of air rights, sites for buildings to
be used for residential, commercial, industrial, and other uses
contemplated by the Plan, and to provide utilities to the development site.
In the accomplishment of these purposes and activities and in the implementation and
furtherance of this Plan, the iMDC is authorized to use all the powers provided in this Plan and all
the powers now or hereafter permitted by law.
SECTION 302
URBAN RENEWAL PLAN OBJECTIVES
Urban renewal action is necessary in the Project Area to combat problems of physical
blight and economic underdevelopment.
The Project Area consists of 660 acres with boundaries of the 1-84 freeway on the south,
Cherry LanelFairview on the north, 4th Street on the west, and Five Mile Creek on the east. The
area has a history of a slow-growing tax base primarily attributed to inadequate and deteriorating
public improvements and facilities, poorly maintained properties, undeveloped and
underdeveloped properties, diverse property ownership, and other deteriorating factors.
Hence, the Plan for the Project Area is a proposal for public improvements and facilities
to: provide an improved environment for new commercial and residential developments;
eliminate unsafe conditions; assist potential owner participation and other developers to create
appropriate development sites through parceIization of existing larger parcels and, where
necessary, through acquisition, demolition, and disposition activities; and otherwise prevent the
extension of blight and deterioration and reverse the deteriorating action of the area.
The streets or irrigation or drainage ditches or laterals to be vacated or relocated will
create additional building area for retail, commercial, office, or public use. Any such vacations
6-
August 23, 2002 (I 2:43PM)
7
or relocations must be requested from the Ada County Highway District (the "ACHD") or other
agency having jurisdiction over the particular public right-of-way.
Air rights and subterranean rights may be disposed of for any pennitted use within the
Project Area boundaries.
Acquisition of any interest in real property may be utilized by the MDC when and if
necessary to promote redevelopment in accordance with the objectives of the Plan.
Temporary project improvement shall be provided to facilitate adequate vehicular and
pedestrian circulation.
Improve transit opportunities throughout the Urban Renewal Area.
MDC may participate in the cost of removal of extraordinary site conditions. A further
objective of the Plan is to provide for the acquisition and clearance of property to be used for
other public facilities. Off-street parking facilities will be developed to serve new commercial
uses within the Project Area. Over the life of the Plan, land use in the Project Area will be
modified to the extent that buildings currently vacant and land underdeveloped will be converted
to residential, lodging, commercial, retail, office, public and private parking, and public/semi-
public uses.
The provisions of this Plan are applicable to all public and private property in the Project
Area. The provisions of the Plan shall be interpreted and applied as objectives and goals,
recognizing the need for flexibility in interpretation and implementation, while at the same time
not in any way abdicating the rights and privileges of the property owners which are vested in
the present and future zoning classifications of the properties. All development under an owner
participation agreement shall confonn to those standards specified in Section 303.1 of this Plan.
It is recognized that the ACHD has exclusive jurisdiction over all public rights-of-way
within the Project Area, except for state highways. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to
alter the powers of the ACHD pursuant to Title 40, Idaho Code.
This Plan must be practical in order to succeed. Particular attention has been paid to how
it can be implemented, given the changing nature of market conditions. Transfonning the
Project Area into a vital, thriving part of the community requires an assertive strategy. The
following list represents the key elements of that effort.
1. Initiate simultaneous projects designed to revitalize the Project Area.
From sidewalk improvements to significant new development, the :NIDC
plans a key role in creating the necessary momentum to get and keep
things going.
2. Secure certain public open space in critical areas, primarily in the Blue
Zone or any Yellow Zone. This open space will greatly increase property
7-
August 23.2002 (12:43PM)
8
values adjacent to it and greatly contribute to a new sense of place
(<<placemaking").
3. Develop new office buildings and public civic buildings, while providing
a link to the City's historic culture.
4. Pursue development across all land-use sectors simultaneously.
Without direct public intervention, much of the Project Area could conceivably remain
unchanged for the next several years. Success will come through numerous public-private
partnerships-no single developer will save the day. The Plan creates the necessary flexible
framework for the Project Area to capture a share of Meridian's growing population and
economy.
SECTION 303
PARTICIPATION OPPORTUNITIES AND AGREEMENT
SECTION 303.1
PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS
The MDC shall enter into an owner participation agreement with any existing or future
owner of property, in the event the property owner seeks and/or receives assistance from the
MDC in the redevelopment of the property. In that event, the MDC may allow for an existing or
future owner of property to remove his property and/or structure from future MDC acquisition
subject to entering into an owner participation agreement.
Each structure and building in the Project Area to be rehabilitated or new projects to be
constructed as a condition of the owner participation agreement between the MDC and the owner
pursuant to this Plan will be considered to be satisfactorily rehabilitated and constructed, and the
MDC will so certify, if the rehabilitated or new structure meets the following standards:
(a) Executed owner participation agreements meet the conditions described below.
(b) Any such property within the Project Area shall be required to conform to all
applicable provisions, requirements, and regulations of this Plan. Upon
completion of any rehabilitation or new development, each structure must be safe
and sound in all physical respects and be refurbished and altered to bring the
property to an upgraded marketable condition which will continue throughout an
estimated useful life for a minimum of twenty (20) years.
(c) All such buildings or portions of buildings which are to remain within the Project
Area shall be rehabilitated in conformity with all applicable codes and ordinances
of the City of Meridian.
(d) Any new construction shall also conform to all applicable provisions,
requirements, and regulations of this Plan.
8 -
August 23. 2002 (12:43PM)
9
(e) Any new construction shall also conform to all applicable codes and ordinances of
the City of Meridian.
In such participation agreements, participants who retain real property shall be required
to join in the recordation of such documents as may be necessary to make the provisions of this
Plan applicable to their properties, whether or not a participant enters into a participation
agreement with the MDC, the provisions of this Plan are applicable to all public and private
property in the Project Area.
In the event a participant fails or refuses to rehabilitate, develop, use, and maintain its real
property pursuant to this Plan and a participation agreement, the real property or any interest
therein may be acquired by the MDC in accordance with Section 307 of this Plan and sold or
leased for rehabilitation or development in accordance with this Plan.
Owner participation agreements may be used to implement the following objectives:
1. Encouraging established businesses to revitalize deteriorating areas of
their parcels and to incorporate elements of the Plan such as street trees
and sidewalk treatments to accelerate the enhancement of the street
environment in the Plan area.
2. Subject to the limitations of the Law and the Act, providing incentives to
existing business owners to encourage continued utilization and expansion
of existing permitted uses to prevent properties from falling into disuse, a
proliferation of vacant and deteriorated parcels and a reduction in
downtown employment.
3. Allowing existing nonconforming uses to continue in accordance with
City regulations and to accommodate improvements and expansions
allowed by City regulations.
4. Subject to the limitations of the Act, providing incentives to improve
nonconforming properties so they implement the design guidelines
contained in this Plan to the extent possible and to encourage an orderly
transition from nonconforming to conforming uses over the planning
horizon.
SECTION 304
COOPERA TION WITH PUBLIC BODIES
Certain public bodies are authorized by state law to aid and cooperate, with or without
consideration, in the planning, undertaking, construction, or operation of this Project. The MDC
shall seek the aid and cooperation of such public bodies and shall attempt to coordinate this Plan
with the activities of such public bodies in order to accomplish the purposes of redevelopment
and the highest public good.
9-
August 23, 2002 (l2:43PM)

10
The NIDC may impose on all public bodies the planning and design controls contained in
this Plan to insure that present uses and any future development by public bodies will conform to
the requirements of this Plan, provided, however, ACHD has exclusive jurisdiction over ACHD
streets. The NIDC is authorized to financially (and otherwise) assist any public entity in the cost
of public land, buildings, facilities, structures, or other improvements within the Project Area.
The NIDC specifically intends to cooperate to the extent allowable by law with the City
of Meridian, the State of Idaho, and the ACHD for the construction and reconstruction of public
improvements and facilities, including a public civic center. Specifically, the NIDC intends to
address traffic issues in the urban renewal area with the ACHD. The NIDC seeks to provide
input, guidance, and financial assistance, if available, to improve traffic flow, roadway/access
improvements, streetscapes, and related traffic issues. The Agency also intends to cooperate
with local transit authorities to improve transit and other transportation opportunities in the
Urban Renewal Area.
The NIDC, by law, is not authorized to acquire real property owned by public bodies
without the consent of such public bodies. The MDC, however, will seek the cooperation of all
public bodies that own or intend to acquire property in the Project Area. Any public body that
owns or leases property in the Project Area will be afforded all the privileges of an owner
participant if such public body is willing to enter into a participation agreement with the NIDC.
All plans for development of property in the Project Area by a public body shall comply with the
provisions of this Plan.
SECTION 305
PROPERTY ACQUISITION
SECTION 305.1
REAL PROPERTY
Only as specifically authorized herein, the NIDC may acquire, but is not required to
acquire, any real property located in the Project Area where it is determined that the property is
needed for construction of public improvement should be acquired to eliminate or mitigate the
deteriorated or deteriorating conditions, and as otherwise allowed by law. The acquisition shall
be by any means authorized by law (including, but not limited to, the Idaho Urban Renewal Law,
the Local Economic Development Law, and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real
Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970). The:MDC is authorized to acquire either the entire
fee or any other interest in real property less than a fee, including structures and fixtures upon the
real property, without acquiring the land upon which those structures and fixtures are located.
The:MDC shall not acquire real property to be retained by an owner pursuant to a
participation agreement if the owner fully performed under the agreement.
Generally, the MDC intends to acquire any real property through voluntary or consensual
gift, devise, exchange, or purchase. Such acquisition of property may be for the development of
the public improvements identified in this Plan, or for the assembly of properties for the
redevelopment of those properties to achieve the objectives of this Plan. Such properties may
include properties owned by private parties or public entities. This Plan does not anticipate the
MDC's widespread use of its resources for property acquisition, except for the construction of
10-
August 23.2002 (l2:43PM)
11
public improvements and any ability to engage in certain demonstration projects, such as
gateway enhancement opportunities and other major objectives outlined in this Plan, including
public civic center and "gateway areas, primarily in the Yellow Zone and Blue Zone.
It is in the public interest and is necessary in order to eliminate the conditions requiring
redevelopment and in order to execute this Plan for the power of eminent domain to be employed
by the IvIDC to acquire real property in the Project Area which cannot be acquired by gift,
devise, exchange, purchase, or any other lawful method.
The IvIDC shall not acquire real property on which an existing building is to be continued
on its present site and in its present form and use without the consent of the owner unless:
(a) such building requires structural alteration, improvement, modernization, or rehabilitation;
(b) the site or lot on which the building is situated requires modification in size, shape, or use;
(c) it is necessary to impose upon such property any of the controls, limitations, restrictions, and
requirements of this Plan and the owner fails or refuses to execute a participation agreement in
accordance with the provisions of this Plan; or (d) the site or portion thereof is necessary for
public improvements.
The purpose of this section is to allow the:MDC to use its eminent domain authority to
acquire properties necessary for the construction of public improvements or for acquisition of
those sites that are deteriorated or deteriorating as described above.
Under the provisions of the Act, the urban renewal plan "shall be sufficiently complete to
indicate such land acquisition, demolition, and removal of structures, redevelopment,
improvements, and rehabilitation as may be proposed to be carried out in the urban renewal
area." Idaho Code S 50-2018(1). The lvIDC has identified several parcels for acquisition for the
construction of public improvements. Those parcels are contained within Attachments 4 and 5.
The IvIDC also intends to acquire property for the purpose of developing public parking
structures, public open space, and to enhance the opportunity for other uses. At the present time,
the:MDC cannot specifically identify which parcels may be necessary for acquisition for the
parking structures or for site assembly for private development. The IvIDC reserves the right to
determine which properties, if any, should be acquired. Generally, the :MDC will invoke its
acquisition authority only for the elimination or mitigation of deteriorated or deteriorating
buildings, structures, or properties in order to enhance the gateway areas to the project area.
SECTION 305.2
PERSONAL PROPERTY
Generally, personal property shall not be acquired. However, where necessary in the
execution of this Plan and where allowed by law, the :MDC is authorized to acquire personal
property in the Project Area by any lawful means, including eminent domain. For purposes of
this Plan, acquisition of certain permanent fixtures or improvements upon real property shall be
governed by this section. The lvIDC retains the right to purchase those fixtures or improvements
(including buildings) for the purpose of eliminating certain deteriorated or deteriorating
structures to facilitate the redevelopment of the real property upon which the buildings and
structures are located. Such acquisition shall be based upon appraised value of the structures and
negotiation with the owner of the structures. The:MDC shall take into account, before
11-
August 23.2002 (l2:43PM)
12
committing to such acquisition, any environmental or other liability present or potentially present
in such structures. In the event, the MDC determines to acquire such property, it shall do so
upon the successful negotiation of an owner participation agreement in compliance with the
terms of Section 303.1 of this Plan. In addition, such owner shall commit to the redevelopment
of the real property and to maintain the real property in a safe and clean manner. The MDC shall
acquire such property by way of any acceptable conveyance.
SECTION 306
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
During such time such property, if any, in the Project Area is owned by the MDC, such
property shall be under the management and control of the MDC. Such property may be rented
or leased by the MDC pending its disposition for redevelopment, and such rental or lease shall be
pursuant to such policies as the MDC may adopt.
SECTION 307
RELOCATION OF PERSONS (INCLUDING INDIVIDUALS
AND FAMILIES). BUSINESS CONCERNS, AND OTHERS
DISPLACED BY THE PROJECT
If the MDC receives federal funds for real estate acquisition and relocation, the MDC
shall comply with 24 C.F.R. Part 42, implementing the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real
Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended. The MDC may also undertake
relocation activities for those not entitled to benefit under federal law as the MDC may deem
appropriate for which funds are available. The MDC's activities should not result in the
displacement of families within the area. In the event the MDC's activities result in
displacement, the MDC shall compensate such residents by providing reasonable moving
expenses into decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling accommodations within their means and
without undue hardship to such families. For any other activity, the MDC will comply with the
provisions of the Idaho Urban Renewal Law regarding relocation.
The MDC reserves the right to extend benefits for relocation to those not otherwise
entitled to relocation benefits as a matter of state law under the Act or the Law. The MDC may
determine to use as a reference the relocation benefits and guidelines promulgated by the federal
government, the state government, or local government, including the State Department of
Transportation. The intent of this section is to allow the MDC sufficient flexibility to award
relocation benefits on some rational basis, or by payment of some lump sum per case basis. The
MDC may also consider the analysis of replacement value for the compensation awarded to
either owner occupants or businesses displaced by the MDC to achieve the objectives of this
Plan. The MDC may adopt relocation guidelines which would define the extent of relocation
assistance in non-federally-assisted projects and which relocation assistance to the greatest extent
feasible would be uniform.
For displacement of families, the MDC shall comply with, at a minimum, the standards
set forth in the Law. The MDC shall also comply with all applicable state laws concerning
relocation benefits.

To the extent now or hereafter permitted by law, the IvIDC is authorized to pay for,
develop, or construct any publicly-owned building, facility, structure, or other improvement

within the Project Area for itself or for any public body or entity, which buildings, facilities,
structures, or other improvements are or would be of benefit to the Project Area. Specifically,
the MDC may pay for, install, or construct the buildings, facilities, structures, and other
improvements identified in Attachment 5, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference,
and may acquire or pay for the land required therefor.
The MDC may also prepare properties for development by renovation or other means as
allowed by law. The MDC may also as allowed by law assist in the development of private
projects.
In addition to the public improvements authorized under Idaho Code Section 50-2007,
the MDC is authorized to install and construct, or to cause to be installed and constructed, within
the Project Area or outside the Project Area for improvements or facilities that are needed to
support new development in the Project Area, for itself or for any public body or entity, public
improvements and public facilities, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) utilities;
(2) pedestrian paths; (3) traffic signals; (4) landscaped areas; (5) street improvements, including
new access roads and streets; (6) sanitary sewers; (7) flood control facilities and storm drains;
(8) water mains, pumps, and reservoirs;(9) parks and recreation facilities; (10) improved railroad
property use; and (11) civic centers, city hall, or the like.
Any public facility ultimately owned by the!vIDC shall be operated and managed in such
a manner to preserve the public purpose nature of the facility. Any lease agreement with a
private entity or management contract agreement shall include all necessary provisions sufficient
to protect the public interest and public purpose.
The MDC seeks to coordinate special streets, parks, and urban open spaces within the
Project Area. A network of well-developed pedestrian environments, landscaped front yards,
and proposed new urban open spaces contribute to the public realm. A series of intersections
where one enters or leaves the Project area serve as potential nodes for enhanced design
treatment. When completed, the framework of civic places and corridors will extend the
amenities of the core to the Project Area. Open spaces may include a water feature that would
enrich the space in each season, perhaps providing skating in winter, sound, and movement in
warmer weather, and light at night. The open space would have a family of furnishings that is
compatible with downtown street furnishings. Ample seating would be provided along the
promenade. Enhanced lighting would be provided for safety. This open space would be
programmed, designed, and promoted to accommodate active day, night, and seasonal uses.
Because of the predominantly commercial, governmental, and retail uses, as contrasted to
residential, no specific park or park like improvements are anticipated.
The MDC may enter into contracts, leases, and agreements with the City, or other public
body or private entity, pursuant to this section, and the obligation of the ivIDC under such
contract, lease, or agreement shall constitute an indebtedness of the ivIDC as described in Idaho
Code Section 50-2909 which may be made payable out of the taxes levied in the Project Area
and allocated to the !vIDC under subdivision (2)(b) of Section 50-2908 of the Act and
Section 504 to this Plan or out of any other available funds.

SECTION 312
PARTICIPATION WITH PRIVATE OR PUBLIC
DEVELOPMENT
Under the Idaho Urban Renewal Law the MDC has the authority to lend or invest funds
obtained from the federal government for the purposes of the Law if allowable under federal
laws or regulations. The federal funds that may be available to the MDC are governed by
regulations promulgated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the
Community Development Block Grant Program and other applicable federal programs.
Under those regulations the MDC may participate with the private sector in the
development and financing of those private projects which will attain certain federal objectives.
The MDC may, therefore, use the federal funds for the provision of assistance to private
for profit business, including, but not limited to, grants, loans, loan guarantees, interest
supplements, technical assistance, and other forms of support, or any other activity necessary or
appropriate to carry out an economic development project.
As allowed by law, the MDC may also use funds from any other sources for any purpose
set forth under the Law.

SECTION 404.10 MINOR VARIATIONS
Under exceptional circumstances, the MDC is authorized to permit a variation from the
limits, restrictions, and controls established by this Plan. In order to permit such variation, the
.MDC must determine that:
(a) the application of certain provisions of this Plan would result in practical
difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with the general purpose and
intent of this Plan;
(b) there are exceptional circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to
the intended development of the property which do not apply generally to other

SECTION 405
DESIGN FOR DEVELOPMENT
SECTION 405.1
DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPMENT
Within the limits, restrictions, and controls established in this Plan and to the extent
allowed by law, the MDC is authorized to establish heights of buildings, land coverage, setback
requirements, design criteria, traffic circulation, traffic access, and other development and design
controls necessary for proper development of both private and public areas within the Project
Area. Any development must also comply with the City of Meridian Zoning Ordinance
regarding heights, setbacks, and other like standards. As of the date of the adoption of this Plan,
design standards for part or all of the Urban Renewal Area were pending before the City. Such
standards, if adopted, would be required of all development, public or private, within the Urban
Renewal Area.
In the case of property which is the subject of a disposition and development or owner
participation agreement with the 1v1DC, no new improvement shall be constructed and no
existing improvement shall be substantially modified, altered, repaired, or rehabilitated except in
accordance with this Plan. Under those agreements the architectural, landscape, and site plans
shall be submitted to the MDC and approved in writing by the MDC. One of the objectives of
this Plan is to create an attractive and pleasant environment in the Project Area. Therefore, such
plans shall give consideration to good design and other amenities to enhance the aesthetic quality
of the Project Area. The 1v1DC shall not approve any plans that do not comply with this Plan.
In the event the 1v1DC adopts design standards or controls, those provisions will thereafter
apply to each site or portion thereof in the Project Area. Those controls and standards will be
implemented through the provisions of any disposition and development agreement or owner
participation agreement or by appropriate covenants appended to the land and instruments of
conveyance executed pursuant thereto. These controls are in addition to any standards and
provisions of any applicable City building or zoning ordinances; provided, however, each and
22 -
August 23. 2002 (I2:52PM)
23
every development shall comply with all applicable City zoning and building ordinances.
Absent the MDC developing and promulgating specific design standards or controls, the MDC
shall review all projects by applying and/or deferring to the usual approval process imposed by
the City.
SECTION 405.2
DESIGN GillDELINES FOR DEVELOPlVlENT
UNDER A DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT OR OWNER PARTICIPATION
A GREEl\tIENT
Under an owner participation agreement or a disposition and development agreement the
design guidelines and land use elements as imposed shall be achieved to the greatest extent
feasible, though the MDC retains the authority to grant minor variations under Section 404.10 of
this Plan and subject to a negotiated agreement between the MDC and the developer or property
owner.
Under those agreements, the architectural, landscape, and site plans shall be submitted to
the MDC and approved in writing by the MDC. In such agreements, the MDC may impose
additional design controls. One of the objectives of this Plan is to create an attractive pedestrian
environment in the Project Area. Therefore, such plans shall give consideration to good design
and amenities to enhance the aesthetic quality of the Project Area. These additional design
standards or controls will be implemented through the provisions of any disposition and
development agreement or owner participation agreement or by appropriate covenants appended
to the land and instruments of conveyance executed pursuant thereto. These controls are in
addition to any standard and provision of any applicable City building or zoning ordinance;
provided, however, each and every development shall comply with all applicable City zoning
and building ordinances, including any adopted City design standards.

METHODS OF FINANCING THE PROJECT
SECTION 501
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED
FINANCING METHOD
The MDC is authorized to finance this Project with financial assistance from the City,
State of Idaho, federal government, interest income, MDC bonds, donations, loans from private
financial institutions, the lease or sale of MDC-owned property, or any other available source,
public or private, including assistance from any taxing district or any public entity.
The MDC is also authorized to obtain advances, borrow funds, and create indebtedness in
carrying out this Plan. The principal and interest on such advances, funds, and indebtedness may
be paid from any funds available to the MDC. The City, as it is able, may also supply additional
assistance through City loans and grants for various public facilities.
The City or any other public agency may expend money to assist the MDC in carrying
out this Project.

SECTION 502
REVENUE BOND FUNDS
As allowed by law and subject to such restrictions as are imposed by law, the MDC is
authorized to issue bonds from time to time, if it deems appropriate to do so, in order to finance
all or any part of the Project. Neither the members of the MDC, nor any persons executing the
bonds shall be liable on the bonds by reason of their issuance.
SECTION 503
OTHER LOANS AND GRANTS
Any other loans, grants, guarantees, or financial assistance from the United States, the
State of Idaho, or any other public or private source will be utilized if available. Neither the
members of the MDC nor any persons executing such loans or grants shall be liable on the loans
or grants by reason of their issuance.
SECTION 504
REVENUE ALLOCATION FINANCING PROVISIONS
The MDC hereby adopts revenue allocation financing provisions as authorized by the
Act, chapter 29, title 50, Idaho Code, effective retroactively to January 1,2002. These revenue
allocation provisions shall apply to all taxing districts in which the Revenue Allocation Area is
located and described on Attachments 1 and 2 to this Plan. The MDC shall take all actions
necessary or convenient to implement these revenue allocation financing provisions. The MDC
specifically finds that the equalized assessed valuation of property within the Revenue Allocation
Area is likely to increase as a result of the initiation of the Urban Renewal Project.
The MDC, acting by one or more resolutions adopted by its board of directors, is hereby
authorized to apply all or any portion of the revenues allocated to the MDC pursuant to the Act
to pay such costs as are incurred or to pledge all or any portion of such revenues to the
repayment of any moneys borrowed, indebtedness incurred, or bonds issued by the MDC to
finance or to refinance the project costs (as defined in Idaho Code Section 50-2903(12)) of one.
or more urban renewal projects.
Upon enactment of an ordinance by the governing body of the City finally adopting these
revenue allocation financing provisions and defining the Revenue Allocation Area described
herein as part of the Plan, there shall hereby be created a special fund of the MDC into which the
County Treasurer shall deposit allocated revenues as provided in Idaho Code Section 50-2908.
The MDC shall use such funds solely in accordance with Idaho Code Section 50-2909 and solely
for the purpose of providing funds to pay the project costs, including any incidental costs, of
such urban renewal projects as the MDC may determine by resolution or resolutions of its Board
of Directors.
A statement listing proposed public improvements and facilities, an economic feasibility
study, estimated project costs, fiscal impact upon other taxing districts, and methods of financing
project costs required by Idaho Code Section 50-2905 is included in Attachment 5 to this Plan.
This statement necessarily incorporates estimates and projections based on the MDC's present
knowledge and expectations. The MDC is hereby authorized to modify the presently anticipated
urban renewal projects and use of revenue allocation financing of the related project costs if the
24 -
August 23. 2002 (l2:54PM)
25
board of directors of the:MDC deems such modification necessary or convenient to effectuate the
general objectives of the Plan.
The:MDC has also provided for expenditure of revenue allocation proceeds on an annual
basis without the issuance of bonds. The MDC has also provided for obtaining advances or
loans from the City or private entities in order to immediately commence construction of certain
of the public improvements. Revenues will continue to be allocated to the lvIDC until the
improvements identified in Attachment 5 are completely constructed or until any obligation to
the City or other public entity or private entity are fulfilled. Attachment 5 incorporates estimates
and projections based on the MDC's present knowledge and expectations concerning the length
of time to complete the improvements. The activity may take longer depending on the
significance and timeliness of development. Alternatively the activity may be completed earlier
if revenue allocation proceeds are greater or the MDC obtains additional funds.
The revenue allocation proceeds are hereby irrevocably pledged for the payment of the
principal and interest on the advance of monies or making of loans or the incurring of any
indebtedness such as bonds, notes, and other obligations (whether funded, refunded, assumed, or
otherwise) by the:MDC to finance or refinance the Project in whole or in part, as well as
payment for costs incurred for activities of the Project.
The MDC is authorized to make such pledges as to specific advances, loans, and
indebtedness as appropriate in carrying out the Project.
SECTION 504.1
ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY STUDY
Attachment 5 consists of the Economic Feasibility Study ("Study") for the Urban
Renewal Area prepared by W. David Eberle Consulting, Inc. The Study constitutes the financial
analysis required by the Act.
SECTION 504.2
ASSUMPTIONS AND CONDITIONS/ECONOMIC
FEASIBILITY STATEMENT
The infonnation contained in Attachment 5 assumes certain completed and projected
actions. Under the provisions of the Act, the revenue allocation shall continue until the bond
debt is satisfied. All debt is projected to be repaid no later than the duration period of the Plan.
The total amount of bonded indebtedness and the amount of revenue generated by revenue
allocation is dependent upon the extent and timing of private development. Should all of the
development take place as projected, bonded indebtedness could be extinguished earlier,
dependent upon the bond sale documents or other legal obligations. Should private development
take longer to materialize, or should the private development be substantially less than projected,
then the amount of revenue generated will be substantially reduced and bonds may continue for
their full tenn.
The Plan and attachments incorporate estimates and projections based on the MDC's
present knowledge and expectations. The MDC may modify the project if the Board of
Commissioners deems such modifications necessary to effectuate the Plan. The Plan proposes
25 -
August 23, 2002 (l2:56PM)
.~
26
certain public improvements, including utility improvements, streetscapes, street improvements,
property acquisition, and relocation costs, which will facilitate development in the Revenue
Allocation Area.
SECTION 504.3
TEN PERCENT LIMITATION
Under the Act the base assessed valuation for all revenue allocation areas cannot exceed
gross/net ten percent (10%) of the current assessed valuation for the entire City. The base
assessment roll, not including utilities and less any homeowner's exemption, for the revenue
allocation area is $146,334,050.00. The total assessed value for the City of Meridian as of
January 1,2002, less homeowner's exemptions, is $2,065,940,795. The combined base
assessment roll for the Revenue Allocation Area does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the
assessed value for the City of Meridian.
SECTION 504.4
FINANCIAL LIj\fiT A TION
The Study identifies several capital improvement projects. Use of any particular
financing source for any particular purpose is not assured or identified. Use of the funding
source shall be conditioned on any limiting authority. For example, the MDC may consider
participation with owners or developers for facade improvements, partial contribution by the
MDC, or encouraging certain demonstration projects such as affordable housing projects. Use of
revenue allocation funds for that purpose will be limited by the authority of the Act. If revenue
allocation funds are unavailable, then the MDC will need to use a different funding source for
that improvement, including grant funds. The Study has examined the potential of grant funding.
The amount of funds available to the MDC from revenue allocation financing is directly
related to the assessed value of new improvements within the revenue allocation area. Under the
Act, the MDC is allowed the revenue allocation generated from inflationary increases and New
Development Value. The Study has assumed a four and three-tenths percent (4.3%) inflationary
increase through year 2026.
The Study, with the various estimates and projections, constitutes an economic feasibility
study. Costs and revenues are analyzed, and the analysis shows the need for public capital funds
during the project. Multiple financing sources including proposed revenue allocation notes and
bonds, annual revenue allocations, developer contributions, and other funds are shown. This
Study identifies the kind, number, and location of all proposed public works or improvements, a
detailed list of estimated project costs, a description of the methods of financing illustrating
project costs, and the time when relate costs or monetary obligations are to be incurred. See
Idaho Code S 50-2905. Based on these funding sources, the conclusion is that the project is
feasible.
The information contained in the Study assumes certain projected actions. First, the
MDC has projected several bond terms and note issues. The bond term will be finally
determined by the marketability of the notes. Under the provisions of the Act, the revenue
allocation may continue until the end of the Plan term. Second, the total amount of indebtedness
and the amount of revenue generated by revenue allocation is dependent upon the extent and
26 -
August 23. 2002 (l2:56PM)
27
timing of private development. Should all of the development take place as projected,
indebtedness would be extinguished earlier, dependent upon the bond sale documents and legal
obligations therein. Should private development take longer to materialize or should the private
development be substantially less than projected, then the amount of revenue generated will be
substantially reduced and bonds may continue for their full term.
The proposed timing for the public improvements may very well have to be modified
depending upon the availability of some of the funds and the NIDC's ability to sell an initial
issue of notes or bonds.
The Plan has shown that the equalized valuation of the Revenue Allocation Area as
defined in the Plan is likely to increase as a result of the initiation and completion of urban
renewal projects pursuant to the Plan.
SECTION 504.5
REBATE OF REVENUE ALLOCATION FUNDS
In any year during which the NIDC receives revenue allocation proceeds, the MDC, as
allowed by law, is authorized (but not required) to return or rebate to the other taxing entities
identified in Attachment 5 of this Plan any revenue allocation funds not previously pledged or
committed for the purposes identified in the Plan. Under the Act, the :M.DC must first apply all
such revenues for the payment of the projected costs of the urban renewal project identified and
repayment of principal and interest on any moneys borrowed, indebtedness incurred, or bonds
issued by the MDC and maintain any required reserve for payments of such obligation or
indebtedness. Only to the extent revenues of the MDC exceed these obligations shall the MDC
consider any rebate or return of revenue allocation funds to the other taxing entities. The IvIDC
shall rebate such funds in a manner that corresponds to each taxing entity's relative share of the
revenue allocation proceeds or on the basis of extraordinary service requirements generated by
the Project. All other taxing entities shall first receive any such rebate before such rebate shall
be disbursed to the City.
Attachment 5 describes the MDC's financing plan for the Project. The Project will be
financed, in part, through tax increment financing, using revenue allocation funds as allowed by
the Act. The MDC anticipates that on an annual basis, tax increment, and other funds may be
sufficient to satisfy the obligations incurred by the MDC, even though the entire amount of
revenue allocation funds must be pledged for the term of any bonds or other debts incurred by
the MDC. Therefore, on an annual basis, the NIDC will consider the rebate of funds, which
funds, may not be revenue allocation funds, but other funds available to the MDC.
SECTION 504.6
PARTICIPATION WITH LOCAL IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICTS
Under the Idaho Local Improvement District Code, Chapter 17, Title 50, Idaho Code, the
City has the authority to establish local improvement districts for various public facilities,
including, but not limited to, streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, storm drains, landscaping, and
other like facilities. To the extent allowed by the Law and the Act, the NIDC reserves the
authority to participate in the funding of local improvement district facilities. This participation
27 -
August 23, 2002 (I 2:56PM)
28
may include either direct funding to reduce the overall cost of the LID or to participate as an
assessed entity to finance the LID project.
SECTION 504.7
ISSUANCE OF DEBT AND DEBT LIMITATION
Any debt incurred by the MDC as allowed by the Law and Act shall be secured by
revenues identified in the debt resolution or revenue allocation funds as allowed by the Act. All
such debt shall be repaid within the duration of this Plan.
SECTION 504.8
IMPACT ON OTHER TAXING DISTRICTS AND
LEVY RATE
A specific delineation of tax dollars generated by revenue allocation upon each taxing
district has not been prepared. The overall impact of the revenue allocation project is shown in
the Study. Since the passage of House Bill 156 in 1995, taxing entities are constrained in
establishing levy rates by a function of the amount each budget of each taxing district can
increase on an annual basis. The amounts set forth in the Study would constitute the amounts
distributed to other taxing entities from the Revenue Allocation Area if there were no urban
renewal project. Each individual district's share of that amount would be determined by its
particular levy rate as compared to the other districts in any given year. Therefore, the impact of
revenue allocation is more of a product of the imposition of House Bill 156. In addition, without
the revenue allocation district and its ability to pay for public improvements and public facilities,
fewer substantial improvements within the revenue allocation area would be expected in the next
five to ten years, hence there would be lower increases in assessed valuation to be used by the
other taxing entities.
Additionally, the Study has taken the existing 2001 net levy rate of .010261953 (Le.,
deducting the .004 school credit) and imposed a .001 annual reduction levy throughout the term
of the Plan. One result of House Bill 156 is the likely reduction of the levy rate as assessed
values increase for property within each taxing entity's jurisdiction. If the overall levy rate is
less than as assured, the MDC shall receive fewer funds from revenue allocation.
SECTION 504.9
LEASE REVENUE BONDS
One other potential use of financing is lease revenue bonds from the user of a public
facility. For example, a lease base revenue bond may be a way to finance a civic center or City
Hall without the use or obligation of revenue allocation proceeds.

Code, shall thereupon cease; any moneys in such fund or funds in excess of the
amount necessary to pay such principal and interest shall be distributed to the
affected taxing districts in which the revenue allocation area is located in the same

the Plan and make a determination as to whether the revenue allocation area can
be terminated before January 1 of the termination year pursuant to the terms of
Section 50-2909(4), Idaho Code. In the event that the MDC determines that
current tax year revenues are sufficient to cover all.estimated expenses for the

after disposition of real property in the Project Area or after execution of an owner participation
agreement, the modifications must be consented to by the developer or developers or their
successor or successors of such real property whose interest is substantially affected by the
proposed modification. Where the proposed modification will substantially change the Plan, the
modifications must be approved by the Meridian City Council in the same manner as the original

Authority
Idaho State Code 50-2905 guides the urban renewal area to prepare and adopt a plan for
the revenue allocation area and submit the plan and recommendations to the local
governing body for approval. Included in this plan is an economic feasibility study. The
following is the economic feasibility study for the Meridian Urban Renewal Area (URA)
proposed by the Meridian Development Corporation (MDC).
Economic Feasibility Study Summary
This economic feasibility study is preliminary to the extent that not all the elements of the
plan have been formalized. And, as such, this study will need to be updated to include
the enhancements, additions and modifications to the plan. The elements not formalized
are the expenditure plan for the MDC. The expenditure decisions that still need to be
made include the size of the parking garage, targeted land acquisitions, and business
stimulus programs. This analysis has made a series of assumptions to begin the process of
determining the economic development plan for the 11DC.
There is 146 million dollars in real property within the urban renewal area from a city
wide real property base of2 billion dollars, accounting for approximately 7.5 percent of
Meridian's total real property value. The projected income to Meridian Development
Corporation will be dependent upon the rate that this assessed property value base
increases. In the 1990s the population of the City of Meridian grew at the astounding rate
of thirty percent annually. COMPASS projects that this growth will dramatically slow to
three percent annually over the next decade. Coupling the slower population growth with
a sluggish economy suggests that the inflationary pressures on real property will also
slow. County wide assessed value for 2002 increased a little over four percent while areas
within the City of Meridian grew about three percent. The revenue forecast uses two base
growth rates of 3.4 and 4.4 percent.
In addition to the increased value of existing properties, all of the tax revenues from new
construction within the urban renewal area accrue to the MDC. The diverse composition
of the urban renewal area necessitated that the area be broken into six sub-areas (Blue
Zone, Green Zone, Pink Zone, Orange Zone, Red Zone, Y ellow Zone) for purposes of
estimating new construction for the renewal area. Using interviews with city officials,
real estate experts, and members of the Meridian Development Corporation board, a list
and valuation was prepared of sites that were likely to be developed. The value of new
construction was translated to a percent of total property value within the respective sub-
area, which became the growth rate for new construction within the urban renewal area.
The final determinate in the revenue forecast is the mill levy rate for the Meridian taxing
district. This rate has been declining as a result of statutory restrictions on tax revenues.
The mill levy was adjusted downward by the ten-year average to just over one half of one
percent.
As part of this study the MDC requested that the revenue projections be developed for
two urban renewal area (URA) property boundaries. The first boundary includes what is
being called the Red Zone, which incorporates the "corporate park" that is roughly
W. David Eberle Consulting, Inc. Boise ill

bounded by Meridian Road, 1-84, Stratford and Watertower Lane. The second boundary
excludes the corporate park and instead includes the property west of Meridian Road and
north ofI-84 that has been designated as the Yellow Zone. Appendix A provides detailed
maps to outline the respective areas.
Using the assumptions outlined above and using the URA that includes the Red Zone
(excludes Yellow Zone) the MDC can expect to earn over the life of the urban renewal
area between 32 to 42 million dollars. In the first five years the Meridian Development
Corporation can expect to earn between 1.5 to 1.8 million dollars.
Using the assumptions outlined above and using the URA that includes the Yellow Zone
(excludes Red Zone) the MDC can expect to earn over the life of the urban renewal area
between 26 to 34 million dollars. In the first five years the Meridian Development
Corporation can expect to earn between 1.0 to 1.4 million dollars.
There are substantial differences between the Yellow and Red Zones. The model
suggests that the Red Zone will generate a larger amount of tax increment fmancing
(TIF). This outcome is based on several factors that may not hold up over time. The first
is that currently without road access to the Yellow Zone, there is no assumption included
for new construction beyond the base growth rate. Second, once road access is developed
to this area, the land value in the Yellow Zone should increase at a faster rate than in the
Red Zone providing additional TIF not included in the model. These "upsidelt
assumptions are predicated on the reconstruction of Executive Way and Meridian Road
and the acceptance of the diverted access to the Yellow Zone through Waltman Lane.
The expenses of the Meridian Development Corporation include starting an office with
one full time director and one part-time employee in late 2003. The following year the
part-time employee will be moved to full time. From this point forward the
administrative and general costs are increased ten percent annually until 2012 when and
annual inflation rate of2.6 percent is used for the remaining life of the urban renewal
area.
There are three community development programs contemplated in this budget. The
first is a facade grant program. The second is a streetscape reimbursement program. And
the third is a public facilities upgrade program. It is assumed that there will be a new city
hall built within the Blue Zone within the next three years. Based on preliminary
construction estimates provided by the city it will cost approximately $13 million in
today's dollars. In this budget it is assumed that a contractual relationship will be made
between the city and MDC for MDC to issue bonds for the permanent fmancing of the
city hall backed by a one year renewal lease equal to the debt payment. And in 2006 it is
assumed that the Meridian Development Corporation will build a 250-stall parking
garage at $12,000 per stall. Finally, it is assumed that in 2011 plans for gateway
improvements have been made and that a $5,000,000 bond is issued to cover the cost of
improvements. At this time these improvements may include street upgrades in the
Green Zone and or public art. These enhancements to announce the entrance to Meridian
W. David Eberle Consulting, Inc. Boise ID

may be built in the Green, Orange or Blue Zones. Finally, any available cash flow up to
$200,000 is allocated to the facade and streetscape programs.
The issue for the Meridian Development Corporation is that the expenses are front-end
loaded while the majority of funds are back-end loaded. This requires careful planning of
expenditures in the early years. The proposed budget is designed to maintain a positive
cash balance but it is based on real property values increasing on average at 4.37 percent.
lfthe assessed valuation growth rate falls to 3.5 percent there will be a shortfall from
2007 through 2014 that can be avoided by reducing the streetscape and fa9ade enhance
programs.
In summary, the Meridian Development Corporation actions will stimulate new
investment growth in the urban renewal area. Investing in the area will stabilize and
improve the value of downtown real estate. The tax increment financing will provide
sufficient revenue to retire the 5.4 million dollars in revenue bonds. Additionally, there
will be sufficient funds to embark on other public investments to enhance the economic
competitiveness of the urban renewal area creating a vibrant central business core for
Meridian. Finally, the new levels of investment within the urban renewal area stimulated
by the Meridian Development Corporation's actions will help offset the impact of
revenue allocation financing through increased income, sales and excise taxes.
Description of Urban Renewal Area
The urban renewal area can be generally described as the area bounded by Fairview
Avenue on the north, bounded by West 4th Street on the west, bounded by East 4th Street
to Franklin Road then Stottard Drive to 1-84 on the east and bounded by 1-84 on the
south. This area includes a diversity of structure types, economic uses, and public
infrastructure. An economic activity center bonds this diverse area that can be defined as
downtown Meridian. Each area is incomplete on its OlMl and depends upon the economic
uses of the adjacent areas to create the dOlMltown zone.
This report separates this area into six-sub areas for purposes of economic analysis. There
are two purposes for breaking the urban renewal area (URA) into six zones. The first
purpose is to compare the impact of having the Yellow Zone included instead of having
the Red Zone included. The second reason is to better estimate the growth potential of
the tax increment fmancing. See Appendix A for the accompanying map. The six sub-
areas can be generally described as:
1. Blue Zone - The Blue Zone can be characterized as "old town". Currently it is a
mixture of older brick and wood structures and small commercial buildings such as
drive through banks. In this area it is anticipated that the economic redevelopment
will be mostly remodels and infill of vacant lots.
2. Green Zone - The Green Zone is characterized as an area where many of the
residential structures have been converted to commercial uses and retail structures
have made inroads into the area. This is particularly true in the south Green Zone
between Meridian and East 1st Streets. The southern section is currently experiencing
rapid growth. It is possible that the northern border of the Green Zone could also
experience a rapid redevelopment at some point in the future.

3. Pink Zone - The Pink Zone is characterized by primary residential structures. It is a
mix of single family mobile homes and higher density structures. It is anticipated that
the use will primarily stay residential for the foreseeable future.
4. Orange Zone - The Orange Zone is predominately low-rise commercial and retail
structures with some industrial uses. This zone includes the old creamery and the
railroad property and is expected to experience significant new growth.
5. Red Zone - The Red Zone is predominately office/commercial with retail along the
edge. It is anticipated that this will continue to develop as a commercial area with a
retail component.
6. Yellow Zone - The Yellow Zone is predominately open space with mixed residential
and retail along the edge of the zone. Currently this is underdeveloped because of
poor road access into the area. If the Meridian, Main, Executive, and Waltman
intersection is rebuilt it is anticipated that this area will experience rapid commercial
growth.
Growth Projections for the Meridian City Urban Renewal Area
The urban renewal areas (URA) are comprised of several distinct areas. The
characteristics that identify the different areas include building structures, road design
and economic activity. These unique attributes mean that redevelopment activity will
occur at different growth rates. An effort has been made to identify these characteristics
and incorporate them into the model.
Base Growth
The Treasure Valley has experienced unprecedented growth for over ten years. It is
difficult not to be optimistic about future growth as many of the elements that have led to
the growth in the valley still remain. However, the valley and the City of Meridian are
not immune to the national economy. Since early 2001 the U.S. economy has
experienced a shallow recession and an act ofterrorism ending the longest economic
expansion in U.S. history. The Treasure Valley is largely insulated from these economic
shocks because people are moving to the valley and moving to Meridian because of the
quality of life.
In light of this uncertainty the population forecast prepared by COMPASS in February of
this year may be more reasonable than the experience of the last ten years.

During the next ten years COMPASS expects that Meridian's population will increase by
26 percent. This contrasts with the 314 percent increase in population that Meridian has
experienced over the last ten years. The forecast suggests that Meridian will return to
W. David Eberle Consulting, Inc. Boise ID

growing at rates similar to the rest of the valley. There are structural as well as economic
reasons why it is reasonable to expect Meridian to grow at a more conservative rate than
the last decade. The primary factors that will contribute to this slowing of growth include
that large tracts of relatively inexpensive land have already been developed. Congestion
on the local roads no longer gives the area the rural"feel'\ and the market for lower
middle income homes is migrating west to Canyon County as it migrated from Boise for
the same reasons.
This migration should not be taken to mean that economic growth needs to slow along
with population growth. The typical transition for an economy is that with a threshold
population base it is now possible to develop the retail and commercial infrastructure to
support the base. The creation of the MDC will help create the economic infrastructure
for the population to support the rapid residential growth of the last decade.
Property Value Appreciation
Wells Fargo Bank has estimated the annual increase in the cost of housing for the Boise
area using a 1988 base. Over the last fourteen years the property values in the area have
increased from a high of 11 percent to a low of -5 percent. During the last ten years the
Boise market has increased at a little over 4 percent on average. The following table
provides the historical annual increase in housing costs for the area. The table illustrates
that the increase in housing costs can vary dramatically from year to year. It is important
to remember that changing market costs lead the assessed value of property. Additionally,
by the nature of the way that property value is assessed, there tends to be a smoothing
effect on any trends in changing costs.

The Ada County Assessors Office has just released their estimated increase in assessed
values for one fifth of Ada County. The Meridian area increased on average 6.3 percent
for commercial real property and 5.5 percent for residential housing. This is above the
county average of3.4 percent. There is considerable variance in changes in assessed
W. David Eberle Consulting, Inc. Boise ID
(

value by neighborhood. North Meridian increased 2.6 percent while homes in Boise's
North End rose 15 percent. This suggests that there is a general softening in the
residential housing market with hot spots in desirable locations and desirable housing
stock. However, the average property value increases remain above the Wells Fargo ten-
year average. COMPASS's population estimates suggests that, in the latter part of the
forecast, without a return to a general inflationary period, housing costs will continue to
moderate.
The property value is assumed to increase at two rates, 4.4 percent and 3.4 percent per
year during the forecast period.
Revenue Forecast Real Property
Tax Increment Assessment
All of the URD falls within Tax Code Area 03. The MDC is allowed to collect
substantially all real and personal property tax on increases in assessed value of the real
and personal property taxes within the urban renewal area. There are nine taxing areas.
Only the Meridian School Area is permitted to keep $.004 per assessed dollar on the
incremental assessed value increase within the area. The remaining taxing areas will not
realize additional revenues from the URD. However, the economic development within
the URD will accelerate economic growth outside the zone helping to offset this impact
on the taxing areas.
The calculation for the tax incremental finance income is the (current total assessed value
less the base total assessed value) x (current mill levy - .004) =:: tax increment revenue.
The only exception to this is the residential homes in the area that have the homeowner's
exemption. For these properties the current assessed value and base value are reduced by
the homeowner's exemption. The homeowners' exemption is calculated as $50,000 or
50% whichever is less. The table below shows the current mill levy charged on real and
personal property.

Because of the rapid growth of the Meridian property tax base, the mill levy has fallen
over the last ten years. Last year the mill levy fell over four percent from the previous

year. On average for the last ten years the mill levy for code 03 has fallen slightly more
that one half of one percent annually.
The mill levy is assumed to decrease six tenths of a percent per year for the forecast
period.
New Construction
The URD six sub-areas are currently experiencing different rates of new construction.
The following table is based on assumptions that can be found in Appendix B Significant
New Structures. Based on interviews with the Meridian Building Department, MDC
board, and local real estate professionals a list of properties within the URD that are
already under construction or expected to be redeveloped are included. The following
table summarizes the new construction in the area by sub-areas. The table includes two
cumulative summaries.
The first summary includes the Red Zone (excludes Yellow Zone) in the five sub-areas.
This grouping has a base property value of $180 million. It can be anticipated that an
additional $32 million in new construction will occur in the next five years. At this rate of
growth there will be approximately 100 million dollars of new investment in the URA
over the life of the MDC. This translates to, on average, approximately 4 million dollars
of new investment occurring in the area annually.
The second summary includes the Yellow Zone (excludes Red Zone) in the five sub-
areas. This grouping has a base property value of $146 million. It can be anticipated that
an additional $25 million in new construction will occur in the next five years. In
substituting the Yellow Zone for the Red Zone the growth in anticipated new
construction remains approximately at 3.5 percent. The property value base is lower with
the inclusion of the Yellow Zone and construction is not anticipated in the Yellow Zone
within the next five years. However, there should be greater appreciation in the Yellow
Zone property value as the Red Zone has already experienced substantial increases in
property value within the last several years. At this rate of growth there will be
approximately 82 million dollars of new investment in the URA over the life of the
MDC. This translates to, on average, approximately 3.5 million dollars of new
investment occurring in the area annually.
There are two areas where growth is expected to be the strongest. The Blue Zone may be
considered the core of downtown with Idaho and Main Street as the center. There are two
reasons for the high percentage of growth in this sub-area. The first is that it is assumed a
major commercial office building will be built on the Nazarene Church site. The second
is that the assessed base is relatively small. The second sub-area, the Orange Zone is
adjacent to the Blue Zone just to the south. There are a number of planned projects in
this area. It is reasonable that this will grow because of its location to the downtown and
because it is relatively under built.

The percentage increases are used to forecast new construction for the remaining nineteen
years.
Base Case Model With Red Zone
The base case model assumes that there is no new construction in the URD. The current
assessed value will on average increase 3.4 to 4.4 per year for the twenty-four year
forecast period. It is expected that this will provide the conservative (low-end) estimate
of the expected revenue stream to the URD. Under this base forecast the MDC can expect
to collect between 21 to 30 million dollars over the twenty-four year period. If this
income stream is discounted at the current 30 year government bond rate of 4.5 percent it
would result in a cash value of between 10 to 14 million dollars. This value approximates
the loan value if the total cash stream is dedicated to debt fmancing.

Most Likely Case Model With Red Zone
The most likely case model uses the base case model with the addition of new
construction. Under this set of assumptions the MDC can expect to collect 42 million
doUars over the twenty-four year period. If this income stream is discounted at the
current thirty year goveI1llllent bond rate of 4.5 percent it would result in a cash value
range of 16 million to 21 million dollars depending upon the growth rate of3.4 or 4.4
percent.

When comparing the base case with the most likely case the two sub-areas that increase
proportionately more than the others are the Blue and Orange Zones. This is a reflection
of the assumption that the downtown area will grow proportionately more in real estate
value than the other Zones.
Base Case Model With Yellow Zone
The base case model assumes that there is no new construction in the URD. The current
assessed value will on average increase 3.4 to 4.4 per year for the twenty-four year
forecast period. It is expected that this will provide the conservative (low-end) estimate
of the expected revenue stream to the URD. Under this base forecast the MDC can expect
to collect between 17 to 23 million dollars over the twenty-four year period. If this
income stream is discollilted at the current thirty year government bond rate of 4.5
percent it would result in a cash value of between 8 to 11 million dollars. This value
approximates the loan value if the total cash stream is dedicated to debt financing.

Five Year Forecast
The forecast picture changes substantially if there is continued weakness in the economy.
At the writing of this report there is significant uncertainty over the performance of the
national and local economy. Both the threats of terrorism and weak capital investment
have economic growth essentially stagnant. The national forecasters are evenly divided
on whether the economy will expand or contract. The Treasure Valley should outperform
both the state and national economies for the next several years. However, jfthere is not
a significant increase in either business spending or an increase in consumer confidence,
the economy could enter a period of economic performance similar to the early 1980s
where little economic growth occurred. What this means for TIF is that the experience of
the last ten years may not be representative of the next ten years.
Five Year Forecast - With Red Zone
This forecast reflects the less optimistic picture of the future. A one percentage point drop
in the assessed value growth rate will lower the TIF income to the MDC by
approximately $440,000 over the first five years. It is also possible that the 4.4 percent
growth rate will be exceeded. There should be a contingency plan for up to a fifteen
percent variance in the revenue estimate.

in the assessed value growth rate will lower the TIF income to the MDC by
approximately $350,000 over the [lIst five years. It is also possible that the 4.4 percent
growth rate will be exceeded. There should be a contingency plan for up to a fifteen
percent variance in the revenue estimate.

Revenue Forecast Personal Property
There is additional revenue that will be collected by the rvIDC from personal property tax
on commercial businesses. At the writing oftltis report the data set that computes an
accurate value of the personal property tax is not available. The Assessors Office
suggests that personal property tax is approximately three percent of the real property tax.
The incremental personal property tax will contribute approximately three thousand

dollars the first year and approximately fifty thousand dollars over the first five years.
This dollar amount is not included in the cash flow budget but can be seen in the revenue
forecast appendix.
Capital and Operating Budget
A preliminary capital and operating budget has been prepared. There are several
assumptions made for purposes of this report. The revenues have been increased based on
the ten-year average real property inflation rate for the Treasure Valley, thus increasing
the assessed values by that amount. All expenses have been adjusted by the ten-year
average CPI rate of2.6 percent.
Revenue Assumptions
In this budget there are three basic sources of revenue. The first is the TIF based on the
most likely forecast. The second source is parking revenues on an assumed 250 stall
parking structure. Based on Capital City Development Corporation ("CCDC"), records it
is assumed that the MDC will be able to earn $400 per stall annually. The revenue
estimate is approximately $60 per stall less than what Boise is able to get from their
facilities. It is assumed that Meridian will have to charge less over the next several years
in order for people to gain acceptance of the facility. And, fmally, the third source is debt
fmancing. There are three sources of debt financing used in this analysis. The first is a
construction loan interest only, the second is a long term fmancing bond and the third is a
line of credit with the banIe The three types of revenue sources are required because the
capital expenditures occur in the early years while the majority of the TIF occurs in the
later years ofthe life of the MDC.
It is assumed that the MDC borrows the requisite funds at a 7.5 percent interest rate on all
short term debt fmancing. The long-term bond carries an interest rate of 4.5 percent on a
twenty-year term.
Operating Expense Assumptions
Starting in late FY 2003 it is assumed that a full-time director is hired with a salary and
benefits package of ninety thousand dollars per year. This is a very competitive salary. In
FY 2004 the current part-time employee is made full-time with a salary package of fifty
thousand dollars per year. Additionally, office expenses are also added in FY2003. The
salary and office expenses are increased ten percent per year through the project life. For
the first three years there is an outside expertise to aid the MDC to reach a fully
functioning development agency. Finally, it will cost $280 per stall for operations and
maintenance of the facility once it is constructed. At this point in time there are no other
operating expenses contemplated. These assumptions are relevant for the first five years.
Beyond this time, actual experience and decisions will supersede this forecast.
Capital Expense Assumptions
It is contemplated at the VvTiting of this plan that there will be a number of significant
capital projects. The first is a joint project with the City of Meridian in the construction
of a new city hall within the urban renewal district. The second is the construction of a
parking structure to serve the downtown core. These are complex decisions that will
W. David Eberle Consulting, Inc. Boise ID
13
involve a number of public and private institutions. The assumptions used in this
economic analysis are but one method that these capital structures may be built. At the
writing of this report the rvrnc and the City of Meridian are in the preliminary stage of
discussion and the questions of location, ownership and fmancing are still open. It is
anticipated that once decisions on these matters have been made that the MDC budget
will be adjusted to reflect the contractual relationship between the MDC and the City of
Meridian.
Meridian City Hall
It is assumed that there will be a new city hall built within the Blue Zone within the next
three years. Based on preliminary construction estimates provided by the city it will cost
approximately $13 million in today's dollars. In this budget it is assumed that a
contractual relationship will be made between the city and MDC for MDC to issue bonds
for the permanent fmancing of the city hall backed by a one year renewal lease equal to
the debt payment. As depicted, the rvrnc would facilitate a conduit financing transaction.
No direct TIF support for the City Hall is shown. IfTIF funds were available, MDC
could contribute to the facility. This budget does not include the purchase ofthe land,
construction loan, or other cash outlays that may be necessary to complete the city hall.
The budget reflects that the bond would be issued in early fiscal year 2005. Operation
and maintenance expenses would be the responsibility of the City.
Parking Structure
It is assumed that the rvrnc will fund the construction of a 250 stall parking structure at
$12,000 per stall in 2006. This value is consistent with the costs experienced by the
CCDC.
Purchase of Land and Structures
There is the possibility of a need for the MDC to purchase land and or structures to
stimulate economic growth within the Blue Zone. It is too early in the process to be able
to identify the specific parcels and therefore there currently is no expenditure in the
budget for such purchases.
Gateway and Infrastructure Improvements
It is assumed that in 2011 plans for gateway and infrastructure improvements have been
made and that a $5,000,000 bond is issued to cover the cost of improvements. At this
time these improvements may include street upgrades in the Green Zone and or public
art. These enhancements will announce the entrance to Meridian. There is still
considerable discussion as to the nature of a signature gateway and its location. The
possible infrastructure improvements may include sewer upgrade, fire hydrant upgrade,
improved road access and or historical lighting. These gateway and infrastructure
improvements may be built in the Green, Orange or Blue Zones.
Programs Expense Assumptions
There are three programs contemplated in this budget. The first is a facade grant
program. The second is a streetscape reimbursement program. And the third is a public
facilities upgrade program.
W. David Eberle Consulting, Inc. Boise ID
( c
14
When a new development or redevelopment is proposed a calculation is determined as to
the amount ofTIF that will be generated from the program. This creates an available pool
from which to reimburse the developer for costs unique to the redevelopment area. This
would include special design standards for the building and streetscape. Additionally,
depending upon the location of the project, there may be a need to improve the public
infrastructure. To the extent that improvements are beyond the city responsibility, the
i\1DC will work with the city to coordinate the upgrade of public infrastructure to
promote growth in the URA.
Streetscape and Facade Improvement Program
It is contemplated that the MDC will create a grant program to help local landowners
upgrade their streetscape and building facades within the Blue Zone to the new design
standards. This program may also extend into other zones as redevelopment patterns
emerge over time. The program, when fully funded, will provide $200,000 in current
dollars annually for the life of the 1vfDC. However, not until 2008 will the:MDC be able
to fully fund this program under the assumptions made in this report. Direct involvement
with building facades remains subject to applicable urban renewal law and other
regulations.
Net Cash Flow Analysis - With Yellow Zone
The following table provides a preliminary operating budget for the 1vfDC with the
Yellow Zone.
This cash flow projection is an aggressive plan. It is important to understand that if the
regional economy remains strong this budget is possible without grants from BUD or
other sources. It would be possible to accelerate some of the capital programs with the
award of grants.
For a complete budget projection the appendix carries the projections out to 2026. If the
:MDC determines that a sinking fund is appropriate to prepay the remaining balance on
the bonds by 2026 there will be sufficient income to pay off the existing bonds and
construct a second parking garage.

Potential Funding Sources
There a number of funding sources available to the MDC and urban renewal area. Each
source has unique advantages and costs. In this list there are a variety of subsidized
funding sources for private businesses. One of the staff functions of the MDC should be
to work with businesses within the URD in applying for these funds.
]. Loea/Improvement Areas (LID)
A LID is a compulsory funding through a special assessment that is then typically
used to secure bonded indebtedness to fund capital improvements.
W. David Eberle Consulting, Inc. Boise lD
16
2. Business Improvement Area (BID)
A BID is a compulsory funding mechanism through a special taxing district. Most
often these organizations are used to pay for services that the local government is
unable to fund and to organize promotional events for the area. For example, the
Boise BID contracts with ACHD to have the streets cleaned more often.
3. Historic Tax Credits
Historic Tax Credits are available to developers who retain the character of a
historically designated structure. The lvIDC can be instrumental in creating historic
areas or identifying historic properties that could be eligible for the credit. It is
incumbent upon the developer to apply for this income tax credit.
4. Industrial Revenue Bonds
The State ofIdaho allows communities to issue industrial revenue bonds.
5. SBA504 Program Capital Matrix administers this Small Business Administration
(SBA) program that can subsidize interest on loans to qualifying businesses for
building costs, equipment and lease hold improvements through the sale of reduced
interest debentures.
6. Municipal Bond Bank The State of Idaho Treasurer's Office will be offering its credit
rating to local municipalities as defined in IC 67-8702 where the state will "roll up"
local bonding requirements into a state offering twice a year. This will substantially
reduce the underwriting and finance costs.
7. Certificates of Participation (COP)
Public facilities can be built and financed by a private developer and have the
property leased back to the public entity. This funding alternative works for
structures that produce sufficient cash flow to cover the debt.
8. Home Program
This BUD program is a city administered program that subsidies new construction or
other special housing needs. Currently the program does not exist in Meridian.
7. City Housing J?,ehabilitation Fund
This is a city-administered program to subsidize interest rates for remodeling and
rehabilitation. This program uses a revolving fund ofHUD money. Currently, the
program does not exist in Meridian.
8. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Currently, the state administers 9.8 million dollars annually through this program.
These funds can be used for job creation, community development or low-income
housing. For FY 2002 there is only about $100,000 dollars left in the fund. These
grants are limited to $500,000.
9. Economic Development Authority (EDA) Grants
These grants are for communities that have unemployment rates above the national
average and per capita income below the national average. Currently, Ada County
does not qualify for this program.
10. Surface Transportation Program
Authorized through the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA),
this program provides grants for demonstration projects or alternative modal
transportation routes to enhance air quality and ease traffic congestion. These grants
are applied for through COMPASS.
1 I. Developer Contributions
W. David Eberle Consulting, Inc. Boise ID
17
The city may require exactions from developers to contribute towards public
infrastructure that will be required as a result of the development.
12. Developer Advances
Currently, ACHD allows developers to contribute funds to bring forward in time a
road project that a developer believes needs to be built today for the success of their
project.
13. Long Term Ground Lease
If the MDC gains title to land with strong development potential the MDC can ground
lease the property to accelerate development on the site by reducing the up front costs
to the developer.
14. Private Foundations
There are private foundations that will lend for historic preservation. One such
foundation is the Johanna Favot Fund through the National Trust for Historic
Preservations, which awards grants up to $25,000.
Next Steps
There are a number of next steps in completing the economic feasibility study. The frrst
question of revenue impact has been answered. The second question of how the funds
will be used to revitalize the urban renewal area needs further refinement. Plans need to
be developed that will:
1. Help existing business find better ways to meet their customers needs
2. Recruit new businesses into the area
3. Determine highest and best uses for empty or vacant lots within the area
4. Develop incentive programs to help existing landovvners improve their
properties
5. Build on local market opportunities
Essentially the task of the MDC, in addition to encouraging new investment in the area, is
to reposition dovvntovvn in the market place. To help identify how downtown should be
repositioned several additional analyses can be conducted. The first is a market study
that:
1. Identifies the sales leakage from the area
2. Identifies the trade area
3. Identifies the consumers who shop in the area
4. Identifies dovvntown's weaknesses
The second study is a socio economic analysis that evaluates the demographic profile of
the people who shop dovvntown and compares them to the larger population. This is a
study that the Meridian Chamber of Commerce and the local BID should participate in
and update annually.
A third study relates to the implementation plans, prepares a dovvntown inventory of
existing structures and evaluates the displacement of business and people resulting from
the new investment. This is a study that the local BID should actively participate in.

Appendix B
Significant New Structures Within the Next Five Years
Twenty-three sites have been identified as having a good probability of redeveloping within the next five
years. Several of these properties are currently under construction. The developments are listed by sub-
areas.
Assumption Summary
I. It is assumed that the growth rate that this construction represents is indicative of the growth pattern for
the next twenty-four years. The expected new development has been allocated to the sub-areas within the
URD. This will generate a different growth rate for each sub-area.
2. It is assumed that the current land value ranges from $3.25 per square foot to $8 per square foot in the
urban core.
3. It is assumed that construction in the URD ranges from $50 per square foot to $150 per square foot.
Expected Developments
Orange Zone
1. City Hall- NE corner ofRR and East 1 st Street. The development of this block has no impact on the
tax roles because it is currently owned by Union Pacific Railroad.

2. Parking Structure - The proposed parking structure will also be built on the City Hall site. It is
assumed that this will be built concurrently with the City Hall. Since this structure is assumed to be
publicly owned and built on railroad land there is no impact on the property tax base.
3. Creamery - The old creamery site located between Meridian Road and. 1 st Street has a developer
actively considering redeveloping this site. It is anticipated that this would become mixed use retail!
commercial. The proposed development has a number of issues to overcome for the developer to
proceed with this project. For purposes oftms report it is assumed that the creamery will be
redeveloped within the next three years. The land is assessed at $8 per square foot. It is assumed that
there will be 60,000 square feet of use able space valued at $110 per square foot.

Appendix D
T echnical Notes
1. The data set is brought over in six data files. Pink West, Pink. East, Green North, Green South, Blue,
Orange and Yellow. The maps in appendix A provide the boundaries for each of these data sets.
2. Before the data sets have been imported into the spreadsheet they should have a color field added and be
sorted by parcel number. Care should be taken to select all columns before the sort function. The yellow
and green data sets should be combined before sorting on parcel number. Sorting each data set by parcel
(be sure to include all fields on select) will allow easier selection of specific parcels that may be of
interest. After the sorting insert a column in column B and add a field COLOR. Duplicate the color in all
the rows with a record. This will provide an additional sorting and verification field in the master
spreadsheet.
3. Once each color data set has been sorted then the page can be "blocked", copied and then pasted into the
master spreadsheet. After the copy function check the modified urbpoly sheet to see that the color lines
match the actual number ofrows in each color sheet. It is possible that a parcel has been deleted or
added. In the event that the number ofrecords have changed it will be necessary to delete or insert the
appropriate number ofrows so that the modified urbpoly sheet matches the number ofrows on the color
sheets.
4. On the historic data sheet there is a growth factor field that will drive the model. By changing the growth
factor it will change all subsequent spreadsheets.
5. The modified urbpoly sheet has columns for known construction for the first five years. Entering new
construction in these columns will automatically update the new construction growth factors and the
revenue forecast.
6. Changes can be made directly to the cash flow statement and the line of credit will automatically
recalculate. Care should be taken to make sure you are not entering in a cell that is linked to other pages.

Sections 300 through 313 discuss the proposed redevelopment actions, participation
opportunities and agreements, cooperation with public bodies, property acquisition standards and
requirements, relocation, demolition, and property disposition.
Sections 402 through 404 discuss the type of land uses authorized in the Project Area and
list other controls by referencing the applicable City ordinances.
Section 405 describes design guidelines for development.
The Meridian Revitalization Plan also contains a major section on financing. Among
other sources, the Meridian Revitalization Plan will utilize revenue allocation financing,
authorized by Chapter 20, Title 50, Idaho Code. This statute was approved in 1988 by the Idaho
SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE MDC REVIT PLAN - 11
Legislature. Section 504 and Attachment 5 discuss revenue allocation financing and show how
such financing has worked and would work in the Project Area in the future if certain new
private developments occur as estimated.
Increases in assessed valuation of real and personal property in the Project Area that
occur after January 1, 2002, will generate revenue for the MDC to pay project costs. Project
costs include street improvements, parking facilities, and other public improvement costs. The
assessed valuation of real and personal property on the base assessment roll is still available for
use by the other taxing districts, City of Meridian, Ada County, Meridian Joint School District
No.2, Ada County Highway District, and Emergency Medical Services to finance their
operations. The Meridian Revitalization Plan authorizes the MDC to sell revenue bonds to
finance project costs and to use annual revenue allocations to pay the debt service.
The program outlined in the Meridian Revitalization Plan emphasizes the installation of
needed public improvements, street improvements, utility work, and other costs to encourage
private development.
Attachment 5 describes in detail the cost and financing methods for complete repayment
of the debt incurred used to finance the Project and to also fund the additional described
activities.
No change in the land use designation or the potential uses in the area have been
proposed. The Meridian Revitalization Plan follows the underlying zoning classifications of the
City of Meridian. Proposals for certain zone changes are made in the Meridian Revitalization
Plan.
Sections 600 and 700 describe cooperative activities by the MDC with the City.
The duration of the Meridian Revitalization Plan is for twenty-four (24) years. A
termination process is described in Section 800 of the Plan. The MDC is required to prepare an
annual report each year describing its activities during the previous year.
