Project: Southeast CPA
RECEIVED
OCT 1 0 2006
City of Meridian
City Clerk Office
Location: Columbia, Amity, Eagle, Meridian Roads
Applications: Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment
Highlights: The applicant is proposing to amend the Map by extending future land uses within the City of
Meridian south to Columbia Road, west to Meridian Road and east to Eagle Road and to modify some of
the existing land use designations on the Map along Amity Road, between Meridian Road and Eagle
Road. Although the applicant is primarily concerned with the land uses on the property, they have a direct
interest in, approximately 1,050 acres; staff has evaluated and is recommending land use designations
within the four square mile area.
Because this area is within the boundaries of the South Meridian Area Plan, Staff is also recommending
that all lands that are currently outside the City's established area of impact boundary and outside the
boundaries of planned projects by the applicant carry the Low Density Residential designation. The South
Meridian Area Plan is currently going through the public involvement process to come up with alternative
scenarios for how the City should develop south of the interstate. Staff does not feel it is appropriate to
make a recommendation on future land uses in this area without having stakeholder input, essentially
bypassing the public involvement process that is currently underway. With the submittal of the South
Meridian Area CPA application, which should be submitted by December 15, 2006, detailed Land Use
Map designations will be proposed and further evaluated for the remainder properties (the parcels not
planned for development by the applicant, recommended to be designated Low Density Residential by
S taft).
Commission Recommendation: approval at their September 21, 2006 public hearing.
