A Meeting of the Meridian City Council was called to order at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, July 16, 2024, by Mayor Robert Simison.

ROLL-CALL ATTENDANCE X Liz Strader X Brian Whitlock Anne Little Roberts _X_ John Overton _X_ Doug Taylor _X_Luke Cavener X Mayor Robert E. Simison Simison: Council, we will call the meeting to order. For the record it is July 16th, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. We will begin the City Council work session with roll call attendance. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Simison: Next up is adoption of the agenda. Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: We are going to make an amendment to the agenda. We are going to add Item No. 4, which is a fiscal year 2024 budget amendment in the amount of 100,000 dollars for City Hall space study consultant. You know, Mr. Mayor, this is kind of an emergency addition to our agenda. For the few that were here and the millions I'm sure that are watching around the globe our world famous budget workshop, the Council made a decision to conduct a space study for City Hall. I think because of the way our meetings are lining up with end of the year meetings required this action this evening. So, with that, Mr. Mayor, I move that we would approve the agenda as amended, unless our city attorney has any comments or things that I have missed that we need to speak to to keep our record clean. Nary: Mr. Mayor, Members of Council, Council Member Cavener, not that you missed, but just to make clear for the record, what the statute requires is that declaring what -- the necessity of the emergency and I think you started to say it, but to -- for the public's perspective this is the last meeting in which to add an item to the current agenda -- or excuse me -- to the current budget for the current fiscal year because it has to be finalized next week. So, just wanted to make that one little addition to what you said. Meridian City Council Work Session July 16,2024 Page 2 of 10 Cavener: Mr. Nary, much more eloquent than I was. Thank you. Simison: Okay. I have a motion and a second to adopt the amended agenda. Is there discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it and the agenda is adopted as amended. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. CONSENT AGENDA [Action Item] 1.

Public Hearing for Program Year 2024 Community Development Block Grant Action Plan Simison: So, we are going to Department/Commissioner Reports. Item 2 is a continuation of public hearing for program year 2004 Community Development Grant Action Plan. Meridian City Council Work Session July 16,2024 Page 3 of 10 Cavener: Mr. Mayor, I think you were saying you wanted to start Item No. 2, a public hearing for program year 2024, the Community Development Block Grant action plan and turn it over to Crystal for comments. Campbell: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. I just wanted to give you guys a really quick refresher on what was in the action plan before we get going. So -- yeah. This is for the PY-24 Action Plan, which starts October 2024 and runs through September 2025. These are for HUD funds through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and it's used solely to provide housing stability for Meridian residents with a low to moderate income. The action plan describes what goals we have, how we are going to meet those goals and what projects we are going to use the funding for and HUD has said that they anticipate us receiving a little over 524,000 dollars. Part of that, the 50,500, will go toward admin and fair housing and the remainder will go towards the projects. So, the projects that we have identified for this year are emergency rental assistance with Jesse Tree to provide temporary assistance with rent so people aren't evicted. Youth scholarships with the Boys and Girls Club to provide access to extended care and after school programs. The homeowner repair program with NeighborWorks Boise for weatherization, accessibility and emergency repairs and, then, better walkways to improve lighting and sidewalks in areas identified by the walkability study. And with that I will stand for questions. Simison: Thank you, Crystal. Council, any questions? Okay. Mr. Clerk, do we have anyone signed up to provide testimony on this item? Johnson: Mr. Mayor, we did not. Simison: Okay. Is there anybody present who would like to provide testimony on this item, either in person or online? If you are online you can use the raise your hand function. There is no one, so, Council, do I have a motion to close the public hearing? Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Move we close the public hearing on Item No. 2. Little Roberts: Second. Simison: Have a motion and a second to close the public hearing on Item 2. Is there any discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it and the public hearing this closed. Thank you, Crystal. MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES. Cavener: Thanks, Crystal. Have a nice evening. Meridian City Council Work Session July 16,2024 Page 4 of 10 3. Dairy Days Board of Directors Update Simison: Next item up is Dairy Days Board of Directors update. Good evening, gentlemen. I don't know who drew the short straw. Bruijn: I will start. So, my name is Hans Bruijn. I'm President of Meridian Dairy board and I appreciate the time for Mr. Mayor, the councilmen to give a little feedback about Meridian Dairy Days. A few thank yous to City of Meridian, but Meridian Parks Department -- the people in Storey Park from the Parks Department are, like always, great to work with and it's good to see a lot of them year after year. That means they enjoy where they are working. Meridian Police Department. You know, I know throwing a parade together is I'm sure first on their enjoyment of the Dairy Days, but we are going to do some tag teaming today. We are going to go through a few items that went really well -- you know, the Dairy Princess -- we had 21 applicants this year, which is a record in a long -- for a long time. That means there is a lot of interest of young women to be part of this. They will be not just doing their work at Dairy Days, but also the different fairs around the -- around the state. With a dairy show we had almost -- that was both dairy cattle and dairy goat show, we had over 80 kids showing dairy cattle and dairy goats and to me as a former dairy farmer that is the -- the whole foundation of Dairy Days and it's great to see these -- these kids coming back. As everybody knows there is not a lot of farmland around Ada county and they are still -- they are still raising their animals and showing them at fairs and, then, selling them in the end at Western Idaho Fair and part of our agriculture education -- I know a lot of people -- especially new people go, well, Dairy Days in Meridian? I can't find a dairy anywhere. So, it's changed a little bit of, you know, celebrating dairymen coming and bringing their animals and see who has got the best one to education, but a big part of that education is our Old McDonald's Farm, which is a local 4-H club. Crafty Critters that bring in different kinds of animal species and, then, they talk to the -- they love talking to anybody that come and talk about what they raise and they go on to -- to fairs and everything. So, the carnival this year -- they had a few more rides and that had to do with the fact that they actually have -- we are fully staffed. Half of this carnival comes to Meridian Dairy Days, the other half is the Boise Music Fest when they come from the Cherry Festival and the first time in years they were actually fully staffed, so they can do a few more rides. They weren't quite as successful as last year, but all of that I think had to do with the heat. When it's a hundred degrees and you are on a gravel parking lot -- you know, I -- I don't do rides to begin with, but I wouldn't want to do it in a hundred degrees, so -- so, with that I'm going to kind of give it over to Ray Plum and he is going to tell you a little bit about an event that's very close to our heart, the golf tournament in memory of Keith Bird. Plum: Hi. I'm Ray Plum and, yeah, I got -- I got kind of new events with -- with the Dairy -- with the Dairy Board. Keith Bird Memorial Tournament is four years old now. We had 26 teams this year. So, we are growing every year, which is good. I mean we shoot for 32. So, we are getting closer every year. I would like to thank some of you -- Mr. Mayor, for coming out and playing. It was great and I hope everybody had fun. It was a great event. Keith Bird family loved it. They had three teams in it themselves Meridian City Council Work Session July 16,2024 Page 5 of 10 and it was really cool, because as I sat there at the golf tournament and -- and looked around, there was probably maybe three quarters of the people there were all alumni from West Ada. Mostly from Meridian High School. All guys that we grew up with, went to school and -- and -- and -- and stuff. So, knowing that those kids have stuck around. Kids -- they are all 55, 60 years old now, but, you know, everybody stuck around and -- and they are -- they are paying back. So, it's -- it's been a good event. It's been -- it's pretty fun. I would like to thank Lakeview Golf Course. What you guys have done out there in the last couple years with that course and the clubhouse is amazing. It's -- it's a fun place. My family likes to go there and just eat and hit balls. So, that's been pretty nice. The other event we did is brand new this year -- was a car show. We are trying to come up with reasons for more than just a carnival and -- and what we have to offer with the -- with the vendors in the park. We put together a car show. We had 110 classic cars, hot rods, show up. Parked them in the speedway. Had people in and out of there all night. The gentleman who put it together for us he is shooting for 150 next year. He thinks he can -- there are some really cool cars, so if you didn't make it out there you need to come check some of the -- it's a free car show. It was pretty cool. So, that's what I had. So, I think Mike's up. Murgoitio: Thank you. Mike Murgoitio. Dairy Days. Yeah. We put a lot of new events together last couple of years and sort of been a success, you know, bring in more different areas for the community and people involved, like the car show, be involved in our event. The parade was a big success again this year. We had a little gap before -- or after Keith Bird passed in connection with Meridian PD and -- and Luke jumped in and helped with Meridian PD and us and put some meetings together and got us back connected to where we were aligned in a lot of our safety stuff. So, I got to thank you guys for that and the City of Meridian Police Department did a really good job. They did a really good job. We did a safety meeting prior to the event and kind of got collectively kind of a plan of action for both of us to work together. So, I thought that was really good. Also we have got a lot of future things that we are going to do for improving safety for next year. So, we are really excited to see that progressing forward in -- in a really good way. Civil Air Patrol volunteered this year, which was fantastic. They did a really good job. So, we are trying to find creative ways to save you and us some money for trying to make the safety better each year. Currently Specialty puts together some traffic control people, but, then, we also have some other volunteers that we have. Through the course of the event we had about a hundred volunteers through the whole event, organized from trash, to safety, to, you know, putting different things together, which is -- which is really cool. The food vendors and the vendors -- we were up this year in food vendors. Want more varieties and different foods, try and give the people something new every year. The vendors were up again this year from previous years. So, there seems to be a lot more energy around this event every year and it's been growing in every way possible. Attendance was down a little bit this year, but that was due to the heat when we look at previous years. The parade route on the backside is still growing, so when we look at heat year to heat year, it looks like the activity is still growing from those -- those -- those heat years, so that's really good. We raised -- last year we spent 40 -- over 40,000 dollars on youth 4-H and FFA students, high school athletics, so we raised quite a bit of money that we spent in different ways from Meridian City Council Work Session July 16,2024 Page 6 of 10 scholarships to when kids are -- you know, financially don't have support to go back to the different events they want to pursue for agricultural needs, they can give a presentation to us and we, then, donate. So, all this event is going to great causes and it's been a great event. Yeah. Different sponsors came in this year. So, the people that are supporting this event in a big way have been Peterson Chevrolet, CBH Homes, Dairy Gold, Farmdale and D&B. So, those are some of the private -- or the private sector people that are really supporting us. So, it's kind of important now who is in helping our community out in a big way and it's really great. There has been some talk about different times for the parade. I know I have heard some concerns about the time of the parade and we are open to different thoughts on that or what we can do with that. So, with that I would stand for any questions you have about our event. Simison: Thank you, Mike. Council, any questions or comments? Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: Just to start -- and a good reminder, Hans, I like how you started your presentation, because I was one -- for many years I thought Dairy Days was about a parade and certainly the parade is the biggest part in terms of attendance, but it's about bringing awareness and opportunities for youth and scholarships and I love that you started that record year for -- for Dairy princesses and Council I will share -- I sit on a -- on a local school board and every year -- every month a student comes in -- like we have youth council come in to present and we had a young lady who came in in May and presented about everything that's going on in the school and she was so poised and confident and articulate, way better than I ever would be, and I asked -- like what do you attribute that to and she said, oh, you know, I do this, I do that, but, really, it's my involvement as a dairy show princess that has given me this confidence and so to me that was just a cool moment. That's not something we think about and so I appreciate you sharing that and I love that numbers are up. I guess my question would be as you guys kind of constantly find ways to innovate, you talked about the car show this year. Are their things that you guys have on the horizon for next year that you are thinking about that you want to give us a sneak preview on or anything that you are excited about? Bruijn: Next year is going to be a challenging year, because as you probably know the Stampede is moving their date right smack on top of Dairy Days. Now, this is -- you know, this valley has grown so much. You know, my regular job is, you know, as one of the managers of the Western Idaho Fair. We deal with the Caldwell Night Rodeo. We got the -- the Albertson's -- The Open. But there is so many people that -- you know. And it's a different crowd that goes to a rodeo that comes -- comes to Dairy Days, but, yeah, we will definitely look at that and see, maybe we can work together. You know, make say -- say, hey, if you go Wednesday to the rodeo you can get a -- I don't know -- something off on a wristband at the parade -- or -- or the carnival. But we are always looking at -- to get new groups in the community and see what we can do to attract, you Meridian City Council Work Session July 16,2024 Page 7 of 10 know, more people. So, yes, we are open to -- to -- to suggestions, but I think we never need to -- we never should forget what is the center of Dairy Days. Murgoitio: I will give you a little teaser, too. We got some bands that we are entertaining, too, that are better than last year. So, that will be a little sneak peek. Strader: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Strader. Strader: Thank you for the update. I think it's great that you are looking at the dates that you hold it and your start times and just trying to optimize it with other events taking place and certainly in light of the weather; right? If it is hot. And so to the extent that you can make little tweaks here or there that -- that might have a better outcome I think that's great that you are looking at that. Thank you. Little Roberts: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Council Woman Little Roberts. Little Roberts: Mr. Mayor, I just want to say thank you. I mean I have been out there and I know the amount of work behind the scenes to make all of that happen without all the new stuff, so -- you know. And it's so important that Meridian retains an anchor to our roots and I think that Dairy Days celebration is a huge anchor, because we are raising all these kids that aren't -- there isn't a dairy next door or down the street and things and so I think what you do is so important. So, thank you so much. Murgoitio: You're welcome. Overton: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Overton. Overton: It's -- it reminds me having grown up here and watching Dairy Days for, what, 47 48 years, that I went to school with all of those kids that were getting up from the dairies and they had been up three hours before I got to school that morning. I mean they knew work and now I find myself having to tell new people that move into our subdivision -- Dairy Days? And explain to them the history of this area and everything that we came from and what we used to be and it makes me proud to see that it's not only still here, but the successes you are having as we go forward. I think that's awesome. I appreciate all you do. Murgoitio: Thank you. Whitlock: Mr. Mayor? Meridian City Council Work Session July 16,2024 Page 8 of 10 Simison: Councilman Whitlock. Whitlock: Hans and Mike, I'm encouraged that you are looking at different ways to do things. I think -- I think it does lend well with the Snake River Stampede. It might include changing the start time of the parade, so that people can do the parade in the morning and Stampede at night and as you think about that I think there is some good synergies there. Mike, I guess my question for you with regard to the parade is can you get the Mayor a faster golf cart? Murgoitio: We can look at putting a minimum speed on the parade route. Simison: I was running. Whitlock: It was very well done. I thought the turnout was -- was terrific and particularly the young kids, they just -- they love it. I had one young mom tell me that her -- her daughter was set until October -- until Halloween with candy and she was thrilled, so -- Bruijn: That -- you know, that's always the big thing, the throwing out candy and trying to keep the kids from running in front of the next float, but, you know, we are really going to do whatever it takes not to ever have to say, sorry, no candy at this parade, but -- but I remember when I -- I got on the board in 1987 and people would call me and say, hey, is it too late to enter the parade and I go, no, we haven't left yet, so you can come out. That has changed a bit since then. Taylor: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Taylor. Taylor: Yeah. Thanks for the presentation. Unfortunately, I had a family wedding to attend on parade night, so I missed it, which it's usually one of our family's favorite events. We have done a lot of things. One thing that's really unique about what you do that's a great benefit to the city is -- it's kind of a celebration of the city, not just its roots, but it's a city -- it feels like a city celebration and I'm not sure I really know another city that quite had something as unique as that. So, I really like that you are -- I think there is an opportunity to continue to grow and look for new ways to bring in new groups, old, young, everything in between. So, very supportive of what you are doing. I would be much more in favor of a 10:00 a.m. parade than 6:00 p.m., especially if it's a hundred degrees, but I won't complain too much. Murgoitio: Yeah. We are definitely open for -- if you guys ever want to join us for coffee and have an open discussion, the pros and cons and any ideas you might throw at us, we are definitely open for that conversation. Simison: Well, extend my appreciation for all you do as well. I was told by my family that if -- in the last few years it's been over a hundred degrees for both parades and so pretty much that we will never come back and participate in this parade if it's that hot. Meridian City Council Work Session July 16,2024 Page 9 of 10 So, either adjust the weather or consider the time to try to get it down to the point where people forget, yeah, it's -- you are out there, you are baking, you are dying out there, and if we knew what the weather would be each year that would be great, but I think it's a great conversation to have. Murgoitio: Sounds great. Cavener: Mr. Mayor? Simison: Councilman Cavener. Cavener: I think it's important for, you know, the Dairy Show Board, appreciate you waiting a little bit. We had a meeting that wrapped up and I think it's important for both Council and the Dairy Show Board to acknowledge this, usually the Dairy Show Board would come before Dairy Days and can ask for some financial support, which the city was happy to do. Many years ago we passed an ordinance that recognized historical events like Dairy Days, so they got confidence when they are building their plan the city is here to support you. We have gone through our budget today. Council is looking for every nickel and dollar that we can save. At no point in our conversation we talked about reducing any of our financial contributions to Dairy Days, so you can feel good about kind of where the budget will be, what it is and you guys will be good to go for next year and, you know, Council, it's important to note our police, our fire support that event and, then, we also provide financial compensation to the dairy show to offset the cost of traffic control to keep this a safe parade and a safe event for everybody. So, it's a great partnership and we appreciate you guys coming and celebrating the successes of this year. Murgoitio: Yeah. We appreciate your ongoing support to our -- our combined partnership event. Simison: All right. Thank you, gentlemen. 4.

Desired uses may include entertainment uses,major employment centers, clean industry,and other appropriate regional-serving most uses. Sample zoning include: R-15, R-40, TN- C, C-G and M-E. No changes to the FLUM designation or zoning is proposed with this application. B. Comprehensive Plan Policies (https://www.meridiancity.or /g compplan): Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this application and apply to the proposed use of this property(staff analysis in italics): • "Permit new development only where it can be adequately served by critical public facilities and urban services at the time of final approval, and in accord with any adopted levels of service for public facilities and services."(3.03.03F) City water and sewer service is available and can be extended by the developer of the property proposed to be annexed with development in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. • "Encourage compatible uses and site design to minimize conflicts and maximize use of land." (3.07.00) Storage facilities, self-serviced is an allowed use in the C-G zoning district through an approved conditional use permit.Although the operation of a storage facility could be fairly low impact, the current development agreement does not allow the use. Staff feels the design of the proposed development is not compatible for the following reasons: o Excessive Height: The proposed building is set to exceed the height of the tallest building in the immediate area significantly. This excessive height can lead to issues such as visual impact, overshadowing neighboring structures, or altering the character of the area. o Visual Impact: The disproportionate height of the building may disrupt the visual harmony of the surrounding area. It could potentially create an eyesore or clash with the existing aesthetic. o Overshadowing: The height of the proposed building might cast shadows over neighboring structures, impacting their natural lighting and potentially their functionality. o Character of the Area: The proposed development may alter the character of the neighborhood or area. Maintaining compatibility with existing structures is crucial for preserving the overall aesthetics and functionality of the neighborhood. • "Require all new development to create a site design compatible with surrounding uses through buffering, screening,transitional densities, and other best site design practices."(3.07.01A) With development a landscaped street buffer will be required along N. Cajun Lane. There is an existing pathyway along the south side of the property in which the applicant is proposing additional buffer for the residential properties to the south in accord with UDC standards. • "Ensure development is connected to City of Meridian water and sanitary sewer systems and the extension to and through said developments are constructed in conformance with the City of Meridian Water and Sewer System Master Plans in effect at the time of development." (3.03.03A) The proposed development will be required to connect to City water and sewer systems with development;services are required to be provided to and though this development in accord with current City plans. • "Require appropriate landscaping,buffers, and noise mitigation with new development along transportation corridors(setback,vegetation, low walls,berms,etc.)."(3.07.01C) A 25 foot wide street buffer is required to be provided with development along N. Eagle Rd., an arterial street,per UDC Table 11-2B-3, landscaped per the standards in UDC 11-3B-7C. There is an existing landscape buffer along N. Eagle Road. The property owner is proposing an additional ten (10)feet of landscaping along N. Eagle Road which exceed the required UDC standards. • "Reduce the number of existing access points onto arterial streets by using methods such as cross- access agreements, access management, and frontage/backage roads,and promoting local and collector street connectivity."(6.01.02B) Access to the property is via N. Cajun Lane, a private road. There is no direct access to N. Eagle Road from the property. • "Require urban infrastructure be provided for all new developments, including curb and gutter, sidewalks,water and sewer utilities."(3.03.03G) Curb, gutter and sidewalk was constructed with the road widening project along N. Eagle Rd. Hook-up to City water and sewer service is required with development. • "Support beautiful and high quality development that reinforces neighborhood character and sustainability."(5.01.02) Although the design of the building may be acceptable, the proposed building is set to exceed the height of the tallest building in the immediate area significantly. This excessive height can lead to issues such as visual impact, overshadowing neighboring structures, or altering the character of the area. • "Support and protect the identity of existing residential neighborhoods."(5.01.02E) Staff feels this proposal does not protect the identity of the existing residential neighborhood as the height of the proposed storage facility exceeds the tallest building in the immediate area by a significant margin. This may lead to visual impact, overshadowing neighboring structures, or altering the character of the area.Maintaining compatibility with the existing structures can be crucial for the overall aesthetics and functionality of a neighborhood or area. VI. STAFF ANALYSIS The Applicant proposes to develop this site with a four(4) story self-service storage facility containing 777 units and 15 exterior drive up self service storage units in climate controlled structures for a total of 792 units. The proposed use is subject to the following Specific Use Standards(UDC 11-4-3-34)—Storage Facility, Self-Service: (Staff analysis in italics) A. Storage units and/or areas shall not be used as dwellings or as a commercial or industrial place of business. The manufacture or sale of any item by a tenant from or at a self-service storage facility is specifically prohibited. B. On site auctions of unclaimed items by the storage facility owners shall be allowed as a temporary use in accord with Chapter 3,Article E, "temporary use requirements", of this Title. C. The distance between structures shall be a minimum of twenty-five(25)feet. D. The storage facility shall be completely fenced,walled, or enclosed and screened from public view. Where abutting a residential district or public road, chain-link shall not be allowed as fencing material. E. If abutting a residential district,the facility hours of public operation shall be limited to 6:00 a.m.to 11:00 p.m. F. A minimum twenty-five-foot wide landscape buffer shall be provided where the facility abuts a residential use,unless a greater buffer width is otherwise required by this title. Landscaping shall be provided as set forth in subsection 11-3B-9.0 of this Title. G. If the use is unattended,the standards in accord with Section 11-3A-16, "self-service uses",of this Title shall also apply. The use will be unattended. H. The facility shall have a second means of access for emergency purposes as determined by the Fire Marshal. 1. All outdoor storage of material shall be maintained in an orderly manner so as not to create a public nuisance.Materials shall not be stored within the required yards. Stored items shall not block sidewalks or parking areas and may not impede vehicular or pedestrian traffic. J. The site shall not be used as a"vehicle wrecking or junk yard" as herein defined. K. For any use requiring the storage of fuel or hazardous material,the use shall be located a minimum of one thousand(1,000)feet from a hospital. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2): The proposal would meet the dimensional standards for setbacks, landscape buffers,parking and height requirements. However, the existing development agreement does not allow storage facilities as a use without an amendment. Staff ,finds the proposed storage facility, self-service if approved at the requested height and square footage would not maintain compatibility with existing structures which is crucial not only for aesthetics but also for the functional integration of the new development into the community. The proposed height will not be harmonious with adjacent residential and commercial uses and will negatively impact these uses as it may lead to overshadowing of neighboring structures, and alterations to the area's character which are a concern. Therefore staff recommends the building height not exceed 35 feet in height which is consistent with the adjacent stuctures in the area. Hours of Operations(UDC 11-213-313): The UDC(11-213-313)limits business hours of operation in the C-G zoning district from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. when the property abuts a residential use or district; extended hours may be requested through a CUP. These restrictions apply to all business operations occurring outside an enclosed structure, including,but not limited to,customer or client visits,trash compacting, and deliveries. These restrictions do not apply to business operations occurring within an enclosed structure,including,but not limited to,cleaning,bookkeeping, and after hours work by a limited number of employees. The applicant is proposing to operate the business within the following hours:Monday through Sunday- 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Access(UDC 11-3A-3,11-3H- Access to the site is from the existing forty foot(40)private road N. Cajun Lane via Ustick Road or E. Seville Lane from N. Eagle Road. There is no direct access to the property from N. Eagle Road. Parking(UDC 11-3C): A minimum of one(1) off-street parking space is required for every 500 square feet(sf.) ofgross floor area of the office space—parking is not required for the storage structures. Based on 862 sf., a minimum of one(1)parking space is required.A total of eight(8)parking spaces are proposed, exceeding UDC the minimum standards. A minimum of one(1) bicycle parking space is required for every 25 vehicle parking spaces per UDC 11-3C-6G. Bases on eight(8) vehicle parking spaces, a minimum of one(1) bicycle parking space is required.A bicycle rack is depicted on the landscape plan. Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-1 n: There is an existing detached ten (10)foot sidewalk along N. Eagle Road and an existing five (5) foot sidewalk along N. Cajun Lane. Per the Parks Department, multi-use pathways already exist in this area. No additional pathways are required with this project. Pedestrian lighting along Eagle Road shall meet the requirements of UDC 11-3H-4C post and luminaire. Historical type lighting per the Meridian city standard specifications, except the height shall be fourteen (14) feet. Landscaping(UDC 11-3B): There is an existing twenty(20)foot landscape buffer with a ten (10)foot detached sidewalk along N. Eagle Road an arterial street. The property owner is proposing an additional ten (10) feet of landscaping along N. Eagle Road which shall be installed per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. A 25 foot wide buffer is required to the residential land use to the north as set forth in UDC Table 11-2C-3 and 11-4-3-34F, landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-9C. There is existing landscaping along the multi-use pathway along the southern property boundary which was installed with the previous development per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C. There are no existing trees on this site other than the landscaping along the pathway which will not be removed and protected during construction. Fencing(UDC 11-3A-6,11-3A-7)• The site plan depicts a faux stucco wall enclosing the property. Outdoor Lighting(UDC 11-3A-111 All outdoor lighting is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-11 C. Light fixtures that have a maximum output of 1,800 lumens or more are required to have an opaque top to prevent up-lighting; the bulb shall not be visible and shall have a full cutoff shield in accord with Figure I in UDC 11-3A-IIC. Utilities(UDC 11-3A-21): Water and sewer services were installed with the construction off. Cortona Way and stubbed to the parcel. Street lights were installed to the east across N. Cortona Way with the construction of N. Cortona Way. No additional street lights are being proposed with this development. Waterways(UDC 11-3A-617: There are no waterways on the property. The Finch Lateral is located on the property to the south. Structure and Design Standards (UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual): Conceptual building elevations were submitted for the proposed structure as shown in Section VIII(C). Building materials consist of metal panels and stone pattern tiles. Final design is required to comply with the design standards in the Architectural Standards Manual(ASM) and the recorded agreement. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT MODIFICATION(MDA) The Applicant is requesting a modification to the existing Development Agreement [Inst. #107044347 to include storage facility as an allowed use and increase the building square footage to 135,000 square feet with a maximum buiding footprint of 32,500 square feet. This requires City Council action with a recommendation from the Planning Commission on the requested height and square footage. The existing development agreement only allows uses such as retail,restaurant and office. A storage facility is not considered office nor retail as UDC 11-1A-1 defines retail as follows: The use of a site that offers merchandise to the public for monetary compensation. The use includes, but is not limited to, convenience stores;food stores; apparel and accessories stores; book, computer, and music stores; electronics and appliances;florists;furniture and home furnishings;general merchandise stores; health and personal care stores; hobby, office supplies, stationery and gift stores;specialty stores;sporting goods; and used merchandise stores. Therefore, storage facility is not allowed without an amendment to the existing development agreement. The existing development agreement has a maximum square footage of one single building in the C- G portion of the project that shall not exceed 32,500 square feet. The applicant's request is almost four(4)times the square footage for the proposed storage facility than allotted to the existing commercial businesses within this subdivision. Staff recommends the applicant enter into a new development agreement(DA) as there are too many owners subject to the previous agreements.The new DA should also include parcel number R0945580265 along with a revised concept plan and commercial/office building elevations showing future development of this parcel.A provision in the new DA will limit the height of all buildings to a maximum height of thirty-five(35)feet.Fifteen(15) days prior to the City Council hearing,the applicant should provide a revised concept plan,commercial/office building elevations, and a legal description of the property that will be subject to the new DA. A comparison table was put together showing the square footage of the existing buildings in the area. Square Footage Comparison Table Development Name Address Square Feet Cityside Storage 2775 N.

A 64%increase in height compared to the tallest building in the immediate area is a significant difference that warrants careful consideration. Visual impact,overshadowing of neighboring structures, and alterations to the area's character are a concern.Maintaining compatibility with existing structures is crucial not only for aesthetics but also for the functional integration of the new development into the community. The proposed development should enhance rather than detract from the overall quality and character of the area. Height Comparison Table Development Name Address Height Cityside Storage 2775 N.

The applicant also feels the scale of the building makes the project much more economically feasible since the high cost of the land can be spread across more units. Third,the applicant states the proposed height of 54.5 feet conforms with the existing C-G zoning allowance of 65 feet,which was a significant consideration in the developer's decision to purchase the land. Although the applicant has put forth several arguments in favor of the proposed location and building scale, emphasizing the transition with existing residential areas,economic feasibility, and adherence to zoning regulations. Staff has concerns regarding the compatibility of the proposed building with the surrounding structures. The applicant's points about transitioning the mass of the building away from residential areas, optimizing economic feasibility through scale, and conforming to the existing zoning regulations are significant factors. However, it's crucial to consider the visual and architectural harmony within the surrounding context. The images provided by the applicant and staff suggest that the proposed building may not blend well with the immediate area,particularly in comparison to the existing structures. The suggestion made during the preapplication meeting,recommending a design that aligns better with the development on the east side of Eagle Road where multi-story apartment buildings are prevalent, could be a valid consideration. Balancing economic feasibility, zoning regulations, and aesthetic integration into the existing environment is often a complex task. It may be beneficial for the applicant to explore design modifications that address the visual compatibility concerns while still meeting their economic objectives and conforming to zoning requirements.

That the proposed use will be harmonious with the Meridian comprehensive plan and in accord with the requirements of this title. Council finds the proposed storage facility, self-service if approved at the requested height and square footage would not maintain compatibility with existing structures which is crucial not only for aesthetics but also for the functional integration of the new development into the community. The proposed height will not be harmonious with adjacent residential and commercial uses and will negatively impact these uses as it may lead to overshadowing of neighboring structures, and alterations to the area's character which are a concern. 3. That the design, construction, operation and maintenance will be compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential character of the same area. Council finds the proposed height exceeds the tallest building in the immediate area by a significant margin, and may lead to overshadowing of neighboring structures, and alterations to the area's character which are a concern. Maintaining compatibility with the existing structures is crucial for the overall aesthetics and functionality of a neighborhood or area. 4. That the proposed use,if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed,will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity. Council finds the proposed storage facility, self-service if approved at the requested height and square footage would not maintain compatibility with existing structures which is crucial not only for aesthetics but also for the functional integration of the new development into the community. The proposed height will not be harmonious with adjacent residential and commercial uses and will negatively impact these uses as it may lead to overshadowing of neighboring structures, and alterations to the area's character which are a concern. 5. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, schools,parks,police and fire protection, drainage structures,refuse disposal, water, and sewer. Council finds the proposed use can be served by essential public facilities and services as required; the proposed use(i.e. storage facility, self-service) will not have an impact to the provision of services. 6. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional costs for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. Council finds the proposed use (i.e. storage facility, self-service) will not create additional costs for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. 7. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes,materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons,property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic,noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. Council finds the proposed use (i.e. storage facility, self-service), will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons,property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke,fumes, glare or odors. Council finds the proposed storage facility, self-service if approved at the requested height and square footage would not maintain compatibility with existing structures which is crucial not only for aesthetics but also for the functional integration of the new development into the community. The proposed height will not be harmonious with adjacent residential and commercial uses and will negatively impact these uses as it may lead to overshadowing of neighboring structures, and alterations to the area's character which are a concern. 8. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance. (Ord. 05-1170, 8-30-2005,eff. 9-15-2005) Council finds the proposed use (i.e. storage facility, self-service) will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of any such features. 9.

Provide HUD with the necessary information to assess each grantee's ability to carry out relevant CPD programs in compliance with applicable rules and regulations. 2. Provide information for HUD's Annual Report to Congress. 3. Allow grantees to describe their successes in meeting objectives stipulated in their Con Plan. City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant Program(CDBG) PY24 Action Plan Summary Citizen Participation and Consultation Process Citizen participation actively encourages input from the low and moderate-income population in planning the five-year Con Plan,the Action Plan,Substantial Amendments, and the CAPER.The City seeks broad participation, particularly from low-and moderate-income persons, residents of predominantly low-and moderate-income neighborhoods, minorities, non-English speaking persons, persons with disabilities, public housing residents, local and regional institutions, businesses, developers, and nonprofit organizations. All public meetings were held in locations convenient to residents, especially potential or actual beneficiaries. Citizen participation was crucial in the needs assessment, market analysis, and construction of the goals and priorities in the Con Plan and the PY24 Action Plan. Summary of Public Comments Meridian documents all comments received during the public participation process, including feedback from online surveys.These comments and survey results shaped the specific priorities and goals in the Con Plan and the PY24 Action Plan, ensuring alignment with community needs. City of Meridian Priority Needs and Goals The City of Meridian's 2022-2026 Con Plan addresses three primary priority needs. • Decent Housing:The focus on providing decent housing by preserving and increasing affordable housing, supporting housing for special needs groups, and transitioning homeless persons and families into stable housing. • Suitable Living Environment:The City aims to create a suitable living environment by enhancing neighborhood safety and livability, promoting the integration of low to moderate-income (LMI) residents, and reinvesting in deteriorating areas. • Economic Opportunities:The plan seeks to expand economic opportunities by promoting homeownership, supporting community development for long-term viability, and empowering LMI individuals to achieve self-sufficiency. To meet these needs,the plan identifies the following goals: • Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvement:The plan aims to improve public facilities and infrastructure such as neighborhood facilities and sidewalks. • Public Services:The City will fund various services to help low to moderate income residents maintain their housing stability. Examples of services include emergency rental assistance and childcare scholarships. • Housing:The City will focus on increasing access to safe and affordable housing through activities such as homeownership assistance and homeowner repairs. • Program Administration:This goal will cover administrative costs,fair housing initiatives, and ensure compliance with federal regulations to effectively manage the program. 2 1 P a g e City of Meridian Community Development Block Grant Program(CDBG) PY24 Action Plan Summary Proposed Projects for PY24 1.

Introduction: The City of Meridian is an Entitlement Community receiving annual funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Program since 2007.The City is currently operating under the Five-Year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan)for program years 2022-2026.The Con Plan outlines strategies,goals, and community development needs identified through collaboration with community members and local entities. This Action Plan is for the third year of the 2022-2026 Con Plan, providing guidance to the City's CDBG Program for Program Year 2024(PY24), covering October 1, 2024,to September 30, 2025.The PY24 Action Plan summarizes the actions, activities, and resources to be utilized during PY24 to address the goals and priority needs identified in the 2022-2026 Con Plan. 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan: Meridian's 2022-2026 Con Plan is a five-year strategic plan that provides an outline of actions for the community as it works toward meeting the housing and community development needs of its low and moderate-income and special needs households. The plan's development includes a profile of the community and its economy, an assessment of housing and community development needs, and the development of long-range strategies to meet those needs. The Con Plan serves the following functions: • A planning document for the City,which builds on a participatory process among citizens, organizations, businesses, and other stakeholders; • A submission for federal funds under HUD's formula grant program for jurisdictions; • A strategy to be followed in carrying out HUD programs; and • A management tool for assessing performance,tracking success, and determining the course of future Con Plans. The 2022-2026 Con Plan was prepared in accordance with Sections 91.100 through 91.230 of HUD's Consolidated Plan Final Rule. Below are HUD's objectives and the City's projected outcomes over the course of the 2022-2026 Con Plan: 1. Provide decent housing by preserving the affordable housing stock, increasing the availability of affordable housing, reducing discriminatory barriers, increasing the supply of supportive housing for those with special needs, and transitioning homeless persons and families into housing. 2. Provide a suitable living environment through safer, more livable neighborhoods,greater integration of LMI residents throughout Meridian, increased housing opportunities, and reinvestment in deteriorating neighborhoods. 11 Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan 3. Expand economic opportunities through homeownership opportunities, development activities that promote long-term community viability, and the empowerment of low-and moderate-income persons to achieve self-sufficiency. 3. Evaluation of past performance: At the end of its program year, Meridian is required to provide an annual report to HUD that summarizes its performance for the program year.This report is called the Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report(CAPER). The CAPER must include a description of the resources made available,the investment of available resources, the geographic distribution and location of investments,the families and persons assisted (including the racial and ethnic distribution of persons assisted),the actions taken to affirmatively further fair housing, and other actions indicated in the Strategic Plan and the Action Plan. Performance reporting meets three basic purposes: 1. Provides HUD with the necessary information to meet its statutory requirement to assess each grantee's ability to carry out relevant CPD programs in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations; 2. Provides information necessary for HUD's Annual Report to Congress, also statutorily mandated; and, 3. Provides grantees an opportunity to describe to citizens their successes in meeting objectives stipulated in their Con Plan. 4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process: Citizen participation includes actively encouraging citizens, particularly the low and moderate-income population,to participate in the planning process for the five-year Con Plan,the Action Plan,the submission of Substantial Amendments, and the development of the Consolidated Annual Performance Report(CAPER). The City encouraged and sought broad participation but especially encouraged participation from low-and moderate-income persons, residents of predominantly low-and moderate-income neighborhoods, minorities, non-English speaking persons, persons with disabilities, public housing residents, local and regional institutions, businesses, developers, and nonprofit organizations. All public meetings were held in a location convenient to residents, particularly potential or actual beneficiaries. Citizen participation played a critical role in the needs assessment, market analysis, and the construction of the goals and priorities featured in the Con Plan. It was also vital in developing this year's Action Plan, ensuring that previously identified goals and priorities continue to meet the community's needs. 5. Summary of public comments: Meridian acknowledges and documents all comments received during the public participation process.This includes recording and analyzing feedback from the online survey. The comments and survey results played a critical role in shaping the specific priorities and goals outlined in the Con Plan and subsequently addressed in the current Action Plan. By incorporating public input, Meridian ensures that the Action Plan continues to align with the identified needs and goals of the community. 2 � Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them: Meridian accepts and records all comments. 7. Summary: Meridian has implemented and adopted a Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) in conjunction with the 2022-2026 Con Plan.This CPP serves as a framework for facilitating public input and engagement in the allocation of Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)funds granted to the City.The CPP outlines the methods and procedures for providing notice and conducting outreach to residents regarding public hearings related to all aspects of the CDBG process.The CPP ensures that the community has opportunities to participate and provide input in the decision-making processes related to CDBG funding. 3 1 P a g e Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan PR-05 Lead & Responsible Agencies 24 CFR 91.200(b) 1.

Introduction: The City of Meridian values agency consultation to identify and address priority needs within the community. This inclusive process involves active participation from non-profit organizations, private citizens,and public agencies,fostering a collaborative effort.Through extensive outreach and consultation,the City engaged with citizens, local municipal officials, non-profit agencies, public housing agencies, governmental agencies, private organizations, and the Continuum of Care (CoC) in the development of the Plan. By involving a diverse range of stakeholders,the City ensures that the Con Plan and subsequent Action Plans accurately reflects the needs and aspirations of the community. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health,mental health and service agencies (91.215(1)): While there are no public housing units in Meridian, an estimated 8 percent of the housing authority's total voucher supply are used within Meridian City limits.The City collaborated with the Ada County Housing Authority(ACHA),the local public housing authority,to assist the City in better understanding ACHA's resources and needs.ACHA and the City are both involved with the CoC.The CoC meetings provide an opportunity to collaborate with regional and local housing providers(public, non-profit, and private) and health and social service agencies(including private and non-profit mental health, emergency, and healthcare providers). Additionally,the City has developed a socioeconomic profile of Meridian to identify gaps in service, likely partnerships, and needs of the community.The City is dedicated to extending further support to organizations that help meet the community's identified needs. One need that is readily apparent is the need for housing affordability and rental support. Meridian is dedicated to increasing its affordable housing inventory to ensure residents of all income levels can find housing in Meridian and provide necessary supportive services. City staff will continue to stay engaged with the housing affordability and supportive service community so the City can better provide important tools and resources to affordable housing developers and supportive service providers. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families,families with children,veterans,and unaccompanied youth)and persons at risk of homelessness: The City of Meridian actively coordinates with the Continuum of Care(CoC), known locally as Our Path Home Connect,to address the needs of homeless individuals and families, particularly those who are chronically homeless,families with children,veterans, and unaccompanied youth.The CoC consists of representatives from various organizations that provide services related to housing, health, social services,victim support, employment, and education for low-income individuals and families, as well as those experiencing homelessness. The City's collaboration with the CoC involves engaging staff members from neighboring communities, along with representatives from public and private entities.These entities include housing providers, healthcare facilities, mental health service providers,foster care and youth programs, corrections programs and 5 1 P a g e Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan institutions,victim services, law enforcement agencies in Ada County, nonprofit organizations, state departments, and school districts, among others. By bringing together these diverse stakeholders,the City aims to develop comprehensive strategies and initiatives to prevent homelessness, provide support and resources to homeless individuals and families,and address the underlying causes of homelessness.This collaborative effort ensures that the City works closely with publicly funded institutions and systems of care that may discharge individuals into homelessness, such as health-care facilities, mental health facilities,foster care and youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions. Through the coordinated efforts of the CoC,the City of Meridian strives to enhance services, improve access to affordable housing, provide necessary healthcare and mental health support, and create a supportive environment for individuals and families at risk of or experiencing homelessness. In 2017, Our Path Home Connect launched coordinated entry,which provides a single point of entry for households experiencing homelessness. Due to the data collected through coordinated entry, Our Path Home Connect has identified four strategic initiatives: 1. End family homelessness, 2. Prevent first-time homelessness, 3. Expand supportive housing opportunities,and 4. Evolve the partnership. The involvement of foster care and other youth programs has encouraged the City to further evaluate the non-traditional homelessness experienced by youth and their families in Meridian. The City of Meridian has enhanced its collaboration with Our Path Home Connect(the local Continuum of Care) by including a CoC representative in the CDBG Scoring Committee.This representative serves in an advisory capacity, ensuring CoC perspectives are considered in evaluating applications for public service and housing project funding.This inclusion leverages the CoC's expertise in addressing homelessness, aligning CDBG fund allocations with CoC priorities and goals.The City's objective is to promote informed decision- making and a comprehensive approach to tackling homelessness and its associated challenges in Meridian. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s)of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds,develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds,and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS: The City of Meridian does not directly receive ESG funds, as the state is the sole recipient. However, Meridian staff attend CoC meetings where ESG fund allocation is discussed.The City aligns with the CoC's strategy for using ESG funds by funding homeless prevention activities, as Meridian does not have any emergency shelters.

Table 4—Citizen Participation Outreach 301Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan Expected Resources AP-15 Expected Resources 24 CFR 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction: The City of Meridian prioritized goals and objectives for using CDBG funding to strategically and effectively benefit low-and moderate-income residents by increasing decent housing, creating a suitable living environment,and expanding economic opportunities. The City of Meridian follows HUD guidelines and limits public services to no more than 15%and administration to 20%of the annual entitlement. Anticipated Resources: Program Source Uses of Funds Expected Amount Available Year 1 Expected Narrative Description of Amount Funds Annual Program Prior Year Total: Available Allocation: Income: Resources: $ Remainder $ $ $ of ConPlan CDBG public- Acquisition The City anticipates receiving roughly federal Admin and $500,000 in annual entitlement funding Planning during PY25 and PY26.There are not Economic anticipated to be a significant amount of Development prior year resources to be allocated at Housing this time.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan: Meridian will continue to improve the livability of low-and moderate-income neighborhoods and buildings. Projects centered around walkability improvements will help residents with mobility challenges better access the neighborhoods, public transportation, and outdoor recreation. The buildout of the public infrastructure improves low-and moderate-income neighborhoods. The City will support multi-modal paths, park upgrades, and public infrastructure improvements in low-to moderate-income areas. Discussion: The City anticipates that some of the current projects will have remaining funding upon completion. However,the exact amount cannot be identified at this time since the projects are still active and agreements are in place. The City expects partners to leverage CDBG funding to the fullest extent possible to implement robust programs that will help further the needs of area residents. 321Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan Annual Goals and Objectives AP-20 Annual Goals and Objectives Goals Summary Information: Sort Goal Name Start End Category Geographic Needs Addressed Funding Goal Outcome Indicator Order Year Year Area 1 Public Facilities and 2022 2026 Non-Housing Meridian Create a Suitable CDBG: Public Facility or Infrastructure Infrastructure Community Citywide Living Environment $235,221 Activities other than Low/Moderate Improvements Development Income Housing Benefit:400 Persons Assisted 2 Public Services 2022 2026 Homeless Meridian Expand CDBG: Public service activities other than Non-Homeless Citywide Opportunities for $78,657 Low/Moderate Income Housing Special Needs LMI Persons Benefit:87 Persons Assisted Non-Housing Homelessness Prevention: 20 Persons Community Assisted Development 3 Housing 2022 2026 Affordable Housing Meridian Provide Decent CDBG: Homeowner Housing Rehabilitated:8 Citywide Housing $160,000 Household Housing Unit 4 Program 2022 2026 Affordable Housing Meridian Provide Decent CDBG: Other: 1 Other Administration Public Housing Citywide Housing $50,500 Homeless Create a Suitable Non-Homeless Living Environment Special Needs Expand Non-Housing Opportunities for Community LMI Persons Development Table 6—Goals Summary Goal Descriptions: 331Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan 1 Goal Name Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements Goal Public Facilities and Improvements are publicly-owned facilities and infrastructure such as streets, playgrounds, underground utilities,and buildings Description owned by non-profits open to the general public.Safe and accessible infrastructure is essential to the quality of life and building communities that support community diversity and stability.

Eligible activities include housing rehabilitation and preservation, homeownership opportunities, public services, community infrastructure improvements, planning, and administration. The system for establishing the priority for the selection of these projects is predicated upon the following criteria: • Meeting the statutory requirements of the CDBG program; • Meeting the needs of low-and moderate-income residents; • Coordination and leveraging of resources; 361 Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan • Response to expressed community needs; • Sustainability and/or long-term impact; and • The ability to demonstrate measurable progress and success. The primary obstacles to meeting underserved needs are the limited resources available to address identified priorities.The City of Meridian will partner with other public agencies and nonprofit organizations,when feasible,to leverage resources and maximize outcomes in housing and community development. In the end, the need far exceeds the funding available from all sources combined. 371 Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan AP-38 Project Summary Project Summary Information: 1 Project Name 2024 Emergency Rental Assistance Target Area Meridian Citywide Goals Supported Public Services Needs Addressed Expand Opportunities for LMI Persons Funding CDBG:$43,698 Description This program provides case management coupled with emergency rental assistance.

Funds are distributed to maximize impact across different areas,as the City does not have a concentrated low-to moderate-income neighborhood.Some projects may focus on these areas, but they are not part of a larger reinvestment initiative or Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA).The goal is to address the needs of low-to moderate-income residents community-wide. By distributing resources broadly,the City of Meridian promotes equitable development and improves the well-being of all residents. Geographic Distribution: Target Area Percentage of Funds Meridian Citywide 100 Table 8-Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically: The City did not identify a geographic target area as a basis for funding allocation priorities. Goals and projects are not limited to a specific area within the City. Discussion: All projects supported with CDBG funds are within the Meridian City limits.The projects listed in the Action Plan will benefit low-and moderate-income residents throughout the City of Meridian. 441Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan Affordable Housing AP-55 Affordable Housing 24 CFR 91.220(g) Introduction: Although lower-income homeowners do not undertake improvements annually,those who do typically devote a significant share of their incomes to these projects. In 2023, homeowners in the bottom income quartile spent about 12%of their incomes on remodeling projects, nearly three times the share of owners in the top income quartile and roughly twice the average share for all homeowners. Consequently, lowest- income homeowners have contributed about 8-10%of all national home improvement spending in recent years (TheMReport) (Today's Homeowner) (Today's Homeowner). These homeowners, often living in older homes,spent significantly more on replacement projects(51%) compared to those in the top income quartile (40%). Conversely, lowest-income owners allocated a smaller portion of their budgets to kitchen and bath remodels and additions (22%)than top quartile owners(36%) (Today's Homeowner). Given that national spending on replacement projects tends to be more stable than on discretionary projects, the expenditures by lower-income homeowners have also remained more stable over the remodeling cycle. This stability in spending helps maintain a balance in the home improvement market, but it also highlights the disparity between the housing conditions of the highest-and lowest-income households(Today's Homeowner) (Today's Homeowner). During PY24,the City of Meridian will support the maintenance of affordable housing for low-to moderate- income residents.The city focuses on homeowner rehabilitation programs as a key strategy to help eligible residents maintain stable housing. One Year Goals for the Number of Households to be Supported Homeless 0 Non-Homeless 8 Special-Needs 0 Total 8 Table S-One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Requirement One Year Goals for the Number of Households Supported Through Rental Assistance 0 The Production of New Units 0 Rehab of Existing Units 8 Acquisition of Existing Units 0 Total 8 45 Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan Table 6-One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Type Discussion: Meridian's approach to affordable housing aligns with the definition of affordable homeownership specified in §92.254. While the city currently does not fund homeownership activities, its funding focuses on ensuring that any homebuyer assistance activities meet the definition of affordable homeownership. Meridian is not currently funding any rental activities as part of its Affordable Housing Goals. Instead,the city promotes affordable housing through its homeowner repair program.This program aims to assist homeowners in maintaining their homes,ensuring they remain stably housed in affordable housing. By providing resources for home repairs and improvements,the city helps homeowners address critical issues and preserve housing affordability. Through its homeowner repair programs, Meridian aims to promote stable housing conditions and affordability for low-to moderate-income residents.These efforts contribute to creating a sustainable and inclusive community where residents can thrive and maintain affordable housing options. 461 Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan AP-60 Public Housing 24 CFR 91.220(h) Introduction: The Ada County Housing Authority(ACHA) does not currently operate any public housing units within Meridian; however, it does administer the Housing Choice Voucher(HCV),also referred to as the Section 8 program, in that area. Serving approximately 2,251 low-income households throughout Ada County, equating to around 8%of Meridian households,this program enables participants to select rental units meeting program requirements within the county. Following identification of a suitable rental unit,tenants contribute a portion of the rent based on their income,while ACHA provides the rental subsidy directly to the landlord. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing: The Housing Choice Voucher(HCV) program is set to open its waiting list from May 28 to June 27 of 2024. Through a lottery system, 2500 households will be chosen and added to the waiting list. Priority will be given to elderly households,those with disabilities,families with children,and households transitioning from rapid rehousing/transitional housing programs designed for those experiencing homelessness. ACHA continues to provide quality housing that is affordable to the low,very low, and extremely low-income households. Strategies pursued by the ACHA as outlined in the 5-year PHA plan continue to be successful and allows the authority to meet their mission to promote adequate and affordable housing, economic opportunities, and a suitable living environment free from discrimination. The organization's strategic goals are: 1. Expand the Supply of Assisted Housing 2. Improve the Quality of Assisted Housing 3. Operate at a High Level of Efficiency 4. Promote Self-Sufficiency and Asset Development of Assisted Households 5. Ensure Equal Opportunity and Affirmatively Further Fair Housing Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership: ACHA actively promotes greater resident engagement in the management of public housing through its Resident Advisory Board Meetings.These gatherings serve as crucial platforms where residents are encouraged to voice their opinions, concerns, and suggestions. By fostering open dialogue and collaboration, ACHA aims to ensure that the needs and preferences of public housing residents are effectively addressed. The Homeownership Program has encountered significant challenges in recent years, primarily due to the changing dynamics of the housing market. Escalating property values, heightened competition, and rising mortgage rates have made it increasingly difficult for low-income families to move from renting to owning a home.To address these issues and promote homeownership among public housing residents,we are actively providing, both directly and through referrals, resources such as financial education and counseling, partnerships with financial institutions,first-time homeownership classes, budgeting assistance, and more. If the PHA is designated as troubled,describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance: 471 Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan ACHA is not designated as a troubled PHA. Discussion: The City does not own or manage any public housing and relies on ACHA to provide those services to the community. The City works with ACHA on various initiatives to coordinate and promote services and resources to the community. 481Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities 24 CFR 91.220(i) Introduction: The City coordinates with the Boise City/Ada County Continuum of Care (CoC)to identify the strategies to address needs of those who are at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons(especially unsheltered persons)and assessing their individual needs: The City intends to continue to work with its partners to identify, understand, and support those experiencing homelessness (especially persons experiencing unsheltered homelessness) or at risk of homelessness with special needs in Meridian. • Continuum of Care Member-The City of Meridian is a member of the Continuum of Care (CoC). The City has committed to better understanding the needs that Meridian residents who are currently or at risk of experiencing homelessness face and how to serve them better. • Community Collaboration -City representatives are frequently involved in public discussions, presentations, and meetings with citizens, other government officials, and local service providers, including West Ada School District,Jesse Tree, and CATCH. This collaboration helps the community provide support, understanding, and outreach to those experiencing homelessness in Meridian. • Homeless Management Information System- In previous years,the City worked with the CoC to add data points to the CoC's Homeless Management Information System (HMIS)to enable the City to determine how many Meridian residents are experiencing homelessness and the reasons for their housing crisis. The City is committed to serving the individual needs of Meridian's homeless population, as identified by the CoC and local organizations. • Point-in-Time Count-The City has also worked with the CoC to conduct the annual Point-in-Time Count,which helps determine the number of people experiencing homelessness on a given day. This information allows the City to understand the level of homelessness in Meridian and develop a program that better serves those in need. The City will continue to assist with this process in upcoming years. • Emergency Rental Assistance- Meridian's Action Plan includes funding for Emergency Rental Assistance. This program provides financial support to help residents at risk of homelessness remain in their stable housing. • PREVENT Committee—The City is a member of this workgroup that focuses on ways to maximize resources we currently have for prevention efforts, and build out new ways of supporting our most vulnerable residents. • FUND Committee—The City participates in this workgroup that aims to increase funding to match the scale of local need. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons: While there are emergency shelter and transitional housing facilities located in other nearby cities in the Treasure Valley, none of these facilities are located within City of Meridian. The City has prioritized funding homelessness prevention to mitigate the need for these services, but also works with the CoC to assist Meridian residents who need emergency shelter. The City encourages agencies who provide these services to apply for CDBG funding, but there were no applications during PY24 for projects directly related to 491Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan emergency shelters or transitional housing projects. However, all services to be funded are available to those who qualify. Helping homeless persons(especially chronically homeless individuals and families,families with children, veterans and their families,and unaccompanied youth)make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness,facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units,and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again: Meridian recognizes the importance of addressing homelessness and supporting individuals and families in making the transition to permanent housing and independent living.The City has implemented several initiatives and partnered with various organizations to achieve these goals. One of the key partnerships is with NeighborWorks Boise,which receives funding from the City to assist low- and moderate-income Meridian residents with homeowner repairs.This support helps individuals and families remain in housing they can afford,thereby preventing homelessness and promoting housing stability. The City also collaborates with Jesse Tree,a local organization that provides rental and case management services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in Meridian.These services aim to prevent homelessness and address the immediate needs of those currently without housing. Meridian has established extensive partnerships with committees, organizations, and networks involved in evaluating, understanding, and addressing the needs of individuals experiencing homelessness.These include local law enforcement agencies, neighboring cities,service providers like the Women's and Children's Alliance, Boys&Girls Clubs,school districts,food banks, and many others.Through these partnerships,the City works to coordinate efforts, share resources, and implement comprehensive approaches to address homelessness in Meridian. The City's collaboration with CATCH (Charitable Assistance to Community's Homeless)and the Continuum of Care (CoQ is particularly significant.These partnerships aim to support local service providers in assisting individuals and families experiencing homelessness,with a focus on shortening the duration of homelessness and facilitating the transition to permanent housing and independent living. Meridian's relationships with the Ada County Housing Authority(ACHA), CATCH, and Jesse Tree are instrumental in creating access to affordable housing units for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.The City works with these organizations to develop activities and programs that not only provide housing options but also prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless in the first place. Overall,through collaboration, partnerships, and targeted initiatives, Meridian is committed to addressing homelessness,supporting homeless individuals and families, and ensuring access to affordable housing,with the aim of facilitating the transition to permanent housing and preventing future instances of homelessness. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless,especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care(such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,foster care and other youth facilities,and corrections programs and institutions);or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health,social services,employment,education,or youth needs: 501Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan Meridian recognizes the importance of preventing homelessness, particularly among low-income individuals and families, including those who are at high risk due to various circumstances.The City is actively engaged in partnerships and collaborations to address these needs and provide support. Meridian is an active participant in the Continuum of Care(CoC),which consists of representatives from organizations such as the Ada County Housing Authority(ACHA), Health and Welfare, mental health service providers, law enforcement, and correctional agencies.The CoC plays a critical role in coordinating efforts, collecting and reviewing data, and prioritizing strategies based on input from service providers.The coordinated entry process ensures that individuals and families across Ada County have access to necessary services and support. Regular case conferencing is conducted to discuss individual cases and develop appropriate interventions. To further support individuals and families at risk of homelessness,the City provides funding to Jesse Tree. This partnership aims to keep families, individuals, and children who are at risk of eviction stably housed, ensuring they maintain housing stability and avoid homelessness. Meridian also collaborates with other organizations such as the West Ada School District to assess needs and provide appropriate services to individuals and families facing the risk of homelessness. Through its involvement in the CoC and partnerships with organizations like Jesse Tree and the West Ada School District, Meridian is actively working to prevent individuals and families, especially those with low income and those transitioning from institutions,from experiencing homelessness.These efforts involve assessing needs, coordinating services, and providing financial assistance to ensure stable housing and access to support services Discussion: The City of Meridian recognizes the importance of addressing the housing and supportive service needs of non-homeless special needs persons, including the elderly,frail elderly, persons with disabilities, individuals with HIV/AIDS, and public housing residents.While the primary focus of the Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) program is housing stability for low-and moderate-income (LMI) residents,the City has implemented various actions to support these specific populations. One area of focus is the provision of youth scholarships for childcare.This program helps low-income families, including those with special needs children, by offering financial assistance for childcare services. Access to affordable and quality childcare not only supports working parents but also promotes the well- being and development of children. Additionally,the City is committed to improving walkability in low-to moderate-income neighborhoods.This includes infrastructure enhancements such as sidewalks, pedestrian pathways, and other amenities that make it easier for residents, including those with disabilities or mobility challenges,to navigate their communities.These improvements contribute to creating inclusive and accessible neighborhoods for all residents, including the elderly and individuals with disabilities. Through these actions,the City of Meridian demonstrates its commitment to addressing the housing and supportive service needs of non-homeless special needs persons. By focusing on crisis services for victims of interpersonal violence,youth scholarships for childcare, and walkability improvements in low-to moderate- income neighborhoods,the City strives to enhance the overall well-being and quality of life for these individuals and families in the community, regardless of their housing status. 511 Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing 24 CFR 91.220(j) Introduction: Housing prices continue to rise, severely impacting the availability of affordable housing in the United States. According to Brian Montgomery, Federal Housing Administration commissioner and assistant secretary for housing, constraints on housing not only reduce the supply of affordable housing but also increase the number of households that are cost-burdened,spending more than 30 percent of their income on rent. Land-use policies and zoning regulations constrain the supply of affordable housing. Density limits, height restrictions, parking requirements, lengthy permitting and approval processes, and community opposition all contribute to increased housing prices. Many local planning procedures currently in place enable community opposition that stalls housing production. Reshaping local regulations allows jurisdictions to make a lasting impact on the supply of affordable housing. HUD, PD&R Edge, "Regulatory Barriers and Affordable Housing Quarterly Update" Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls,tax policies affecting land,zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges,growth limitations,and policies affecting the return on residential investment: To remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing, the City of Meridian has implemented several actions. Firstly,through its redevelopment plan for downtown, known as Destination Downtown,the City is actively working towards creating more diverse housing types.This includes apartments,townhomes, condominiums, duplexes, and single-family homes to cater to different housing needs and life cycles. By promoting a healthy mix of housing options,the City aims to attract residents and support new businesses, ensuring a vibrant and active downtown area. The City has also facilitated multiple Requests for Proposals (RFPs)for publicly-owned properties in downtown Meridian. During this process, priority has been given to proposals that focus on developing mixed-use and high-density housing. By encouraging such development,the City aims to increase housing options and address the shortage of affordable housing in the area. As part of these efforts, one awarded project, Downtown Lofts,will contribute to affordable housing in downtown Meridian.The project includes the dedication of six units specifically for participants of the local organization CATCH,which provides housing assistance to individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. Through these actions,the City of Meridian is actively working to remove barriers to affordable housing by promoting diverse housing options,facilitating the development of mixed-use and high-density housing, and ensuring the inclusion of affordable units in new projects.These initiatives aim to create a more inclusive and accessible housing market while addressing the negative effects of public policies that may hinder the availability and affordability of housing in the community. Discussion: The City will continue to identify areas to reduce barriers to affordable housing. 52 Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan AP-85 Other Actions 24 CFR 91.220(k) Introduction: The City of Meridian continues to remain involved in several efforts to address the needs of the underserved and promote efforts to coordinate the many components related to housing, suitable living environments, and promoting safer living environments. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs: The City's planned actions to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs demonstrate a proactive approach to improving the well-being of its residents and reducing disparities. Engaging in conversations with neighboring communities and service providers is a valuable step in identifying and addressing underserved needs. By collaborating and sharing information,the City can gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by its residents and work towards effective solutions. This approach also fosters regional cooperation and allows for a more holistic approach to addressing community needs. Allocating funding to provide housing stability for those at risk of homelessness and extended care programs for youth reflects the City's commitment to preventing homelessness and creating supportive environments. By investing in these initiatives,the City aims to address immediate challenges and provide individuals and families with the necessary resources and support to maintain stable housing and improve their quality of life. The collaboration between the Economic Development Administrator and the CDBG program demonstrates an integrated approach to aligning the needs of residents with economic opportunities.This coordination can help identify strategies to enhance economic development, promote job growth, and improve access to employment and economic resources for underserved populations. Expanding relationships with private providers, developers, and social services providers is another key action to reduce obstacles to achieving decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities. Building strong partnerships with these stakeholders can facilitate the development of affordable housing projects, encourage the provision of necessary services, and foster community-driven solutions to address unmet needs. By implementing these planned actions,the City of Meridian aims to address obstacles, reduce disparities, and ensure that all residents have access to affordable housing, supportive services,and economic opportunities. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing: The City intends to partner with local service providers that will assist in fostering and maintaining affordable housing. Projects funded during PY24 will provide: • Emergency assistance to families who are at risk of eviction and homelessness; • Assistance for homeowners to make necessary improvements to maintain their current housing; and, 531Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan • Scholarships for children to participate in extended care programs so their caregivers can work. Additionally,the City will be working with service providers that focus on providing stability to those with mental health and/or substance use disorders to allow them to gain or maintain affordable housing with access to care coordination.The City will also explore additional partnerships with mission-driven and private developers to bring more workforce housing into downtown and underutilized land parcels. The City is actively working to develop workforce housing and opportunities for residents to increase their income to foster and maintain affordable housing. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards: Meridian's CDBG projects,which require lead-based paint actions, are generally limited to housing rehabilitation. The Lead-Safe Housing Rule(LSHR) process involves the following areas: notification, lead hazard evaluation, lead hazard reduction, and clearance. CDBG housing rehabilitation projects do not require ongoing lead- based paint maintenance. Lead-based paint activities apply to all homes built before 1978. Meridian has written policies and procedures for all programs required to comply with the HUD lead-safe housing rule (LSHR).Additionally,the City requires lead-based paint policies and procedures with any partners who may administer these programs on the City's behalf. Contractors in the housing rehabilitation program have lead-based paint requirements integrated into their contract for services with the homeowner. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families: The objectives of the CDBG program are to address the needs of low to moderate-income residents in Meridian.Generally,the CDBG-funded programs in the current Action Plan work toward this end,whether through direct service delivery through contracted subrecipients or infrastructure improvements to reduce blight and address accessibility issues. In addition to the programs,the City has developed many partnerships with service providers, non-profits, state agencies, and other entities to address issues affecting poverty. Actions planned to develop institutional structure: In recent years the City made the CDBG Administrator position a full-time position and changed the position title to Community Development Program Coordinator.This position is now funded out of the City's general fund.This institutional change is designed to provide more time to effectively manage the CDBG program and provide flexibility for the position to expand efforts into economic and other areas that can help meet the community development needs of the City. Staff will continue to work to attain relevant and appropriate professional development training during the program year to learn and address current and future institutional problems. Discussions will continue about the expansion and opportunities to add new program staff to assist in this community development work. The City was involved in the institutional restructuring of the CoC and the implementation of new HMIS and Coordinated Entry standards for service providers in the County.These activities have altered the institutional framework of housing and other service providers in the region and have improved the efficiency and transparency of the collaborative work to address these needs.The City hopes to identify new institutional structures that can be developed, reformed, or changed to better support those most at risk in the region. 541Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies: City staff will be working with the CoC to identify ways to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.As in many communities,there is not enough funding to provide the necessary level of services, so the CoC plans to identify a way of coordinating services that are available and reducing duplication of services for a more effective use of funding. Multiple methods will be explored including phone apps and enhancing services that are already available. The City's partnership and funding relationship with local housing service organizations including NeighborWorks Boise,Jesse Tree, and Ada County Housing Authority will continue to expand in this program year. In addition, coordination with other organizations like CATCH, Boise Rescue Mission, Interfaith Sanctuary,Terry Reilley, EI-Ada Community Action,Jannus, Idaho Office for Refugees,Agency for New Americans,Women's and Children's Alliance, and all members associated with the local CoC(including private housing developers)will continue to be built upon to improve networks,coordination, and problem solving in the jurisdiction. Meridian's participation in the local CoC, housing and homelessness roundtables,and other regional coordination efforts outlines the City's continued action plan for enhancing the networking and coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. Discussion: The City intends to fund multiple projects that will improve access to affordable housing and suitable living environments for Meridian residents. Staff will be working with subrecipients to identify barriers within their programs and find ways to address them to provide more effective services. Staff will also identify ways to improve and expand Meridian's CDBG Program for future years. 55 Page Meridian CDBG Program I PY24 Action Plan Program Specific Requirements AP-90 Program Specific Requirements 24 CFR 91.220(I)(1,2,4) Introduction: The City is in compliance with the program-specific requirements outlined in 24 CFR 91.220(I)(1), (2), and (4) for the Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Program.The Projects Table identifies the planned use of all CDBG funds, including program income and other funding sources.

Solutions could include the Boys and Girls Club opening all day on Mondays,tuition assistance for the Skyhawks Academy program with transportation to the Boys and Girls Club, or Meridian Homecourt offering all-day Monday childcare. Anonymous survey As a disabled individual with metal allergies, I struggle with inadequate Medicaid coverage and housing needs. Unable to work and needing child care, I face uncovered costs for essential physical therapy, chiropractic treatments, and medical equipment. I urgently need more low-income, 3+ bedroom apartments to avoid homelessness due to bad credit. While one of my children received a scholarship and the Medicaid/EBT processes were smooth, other assistance is lacking. I urge the Idaho legislature to expand Medicaid for therapy and chiropractic care, increase housing options, cover The Wellness Center, provide emotional therapy with animals, and help repair my credit and identity. Additionally, I call for mental health programs like San Diego County's Catalyst to support the many residents in Idaho who need such services. Anonymous survey I would appreciate more access through email and virtual communication.Jesse Tree and El Ada were great with this sort of communication. Anonymous survey Jesse Tree's online application made it easier to access services. Anonymous survey I found the service at the Meridian main branch very unhelpful and even slightly rude and condescending. I need someone more helpful and knowledgeable to assist with my inquiries regarding the Boys and Girls Club. Anonymous survey I'm unaware if the city provides emergency rental assistance, aside from the expired Boise City/Ada County Housing Authority program and Jesse Tree. I have friends who might need rental assistance, but I don't think any have tried to apply. It would be helpful to have a page on the city website listing available assistance resources.Additionally,the city could consider purchasing VRT bus passes for Meridian residents who need transportation to access work opportunities. Anonymous survey I did not qualify for ICCP (Idaho Child Care Program).The Boys and Girls Club has been very easy and helpful with everything else. Anonymous survey General accessibility to transportation and its availability.
