Avenue; located north of Ustick Road, between N. Linder Road and
N. Meridian Road.
Lorcher: We will go to Item 2 on the agenda for a street name change proposed by the
City of Meridian and we will begin with staff.
McClure: Members of the Commission, my name is Brian McClure. I'm the long range
planning supervisor. As noted this is for a street name change. The Planning and
Zoning Commission has oversight for this sort of application. The purpose of this is to
resolve a request by Ada county and which requires action by the Commission to the
number -- due to the number of affected property owners involved in a name change.
Since post type avenue -- or lane to avenue and those conditions affects mail, it is
treated as a street name change. This is a map of the affected parcels and addresses.
The property is located just west of Venable Avenue on Ustick near Settlers Park. Fifty
addresses are affected by this requested change. Two are on the same property, a
single family home and a manufactured home. The rest are part of the Woodrose
Apartments. The city coordinated with the developer before most of the units received
their certificate of occupancy -- occupancy on this issue, but some tenants may not
have been -- some tenants may have still been affected by this change. All addresses
for this notification and this application were notified on December 9th of last year. As
noted this hearing process was initiated by a request from Ada county, specifically the
Ada County Assessor's Office. Several reasons for this request include city code. It
basically allows another agency to request a change. City Code also states that a lane
should only be used for private conditions. Avenue is for public. The street is now
public with right of way having been dedicated and of note a previous name change was
requested in 2023. An important consideration with the request is that one of the
affected properties was changed previously. The property was previously addressed --
readdressed in 2022 by the request of the county again to include a manufactured
home previously unaddressed at that time that is on the property. The property was
addressed off of North Cooper Avenue, somewhat ironically, but at the time had no
access to the public road because it was fenced off. It was -- access comes from Ustick
and so it was addressed to North -- to Cooper Lane. With the development of the
Woodrose Apartments and as previously noted, the property is now a public street,
which requires an avenue rather than a lane post type. The picture here on the left is a
sign of the apartment complex per their conditions and virtually all the city
documentation. It was addressed off of lane inappropriately. ACHD has already gone
out there and changed the sign to avenue by request of Ada county, the assessor's
office, but also inappropriately, that was premature because the city has final say on --
the Commission has final say. Next steps. After tonight if approved -- or not approved
Findings of Fact and Conditions of Law will be handled, notice of stakeholders to the
change. There will be a five day appeal process. If approved a 90 day waiting period
happens. The reason for that is not clear, but I'm guessing is so public agencies like
ACHD have time to change street names if they haven't already done it and the post
office has already committed to delivering mail to these -- to the affected addresses
basically indefinitely. Normally you have to submit an address request change, but they
are just going to do it. The department findings are in support of Ada county's request
Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission
January 16,2025
Page 6 of 8
to rename Cooper Lane to Cooper Avenue. Staff recommendation is to approve the
requested change and with that I would stand for any questions.
Lorcher: Commissioners, do we have any questions for staff at this point? Madam
Clerk, do we have anybody to testify on this application?
Lomeli: Madam Chair, we have a J. Chow. However, no one is in Chambers and no
one has their hand raised.
Lorcher: I'm sorry, you said we do have a testimony or do not?
Lomeli: We do have a name that signed up. I think this might have been the gentleman
that was here for Jackson Food --
Lorcher: Oh. Okay.
Lomeli: -- and he signed up in error.
Lorcher: Got you. Did you have anything else -- anything else to add, Brian, before we
close the public hearing?
McClure: I will note the previously affected property owner of the existing single family
home, she did call me shortly after we sent out letters of notice on this. She was
disappointed, doesn't fully understand why, but didn't necessarily have a strong opinion,
since the post office will continue to send her mail to the avenue or lane post type.
Lorcher: Okay. Can I get a motion to close the public hearing, please?
Seal: So moved.
Rust: Second.
Lorcher: It's been moved and seconded to close the public hearing on the name -- the
street name change. All those in favor say aye. Any opposed? Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. TWO ABSENT.
Seal: Madam Chair.
Lorcher: Commissioner Seal.
Seal: Yeah. The only concern that I had was just with the affordable housing being
there and having to go through an address change, it's like a small thing to a lot of us,
but for people that are struggling we could say that it could amount to a big thing. So,
I'm just happy that the post office is going to deliver either way and there is not going to
be a whole lot of load on the folks that are -- that are living there, so --

Seal: It seems as though.
Lorcher: -- in our changes. All right. Commissioner Smith or Sandoval, any comments
or are you good for now?
Smith: Not for me, Madam Chair.

opposed -- oh.

Lorcher: Before we adjourn tonight the City of Meridian has a certificate for
Commissioner Seal as a certificate of appreciation signed by the Mayor for your
dedication and your commitment to the Planning and Zoning Commission. So, that is
for you and you have been a great mentor, so thank you very much. I don't know if I
would have been able to navigate this without your assistance at -- when I first started.
So, I appreciate you very much. Thank you.
Seal: Thank you very much. It's been a humbling experience to be here and I have
learned a lot and grown a lot. People that have helped mentor me along the way, Bill
and Kurt, thanks for keeping me out of trouble along the way for certain, so I will say the
person that I learned the most from is no longer with us. That's Lisa Bloomquist. We
will miss her dearly, not just in what I have learned here, but just as a human being and
just an individual, so -- but it's been an honor to help serve on the Commission and
especially in this crazy time of growth with City of Meridian. So, good luck, everyone.
Lorcher: So, can I get one more motion, please?
Seal: Madam Chair?
Lorcher: Commissioner Seal.
Seal: I move we adjourn.

RE: Street Name Change,N Cooper Ln to N Cooper Ave
Purpose of Hearing
A request for a street name change was received from Ada County for a change from N
Cooper Ln to N Cooper Ave (see Exhibit A: Vicinity Map). Meridian City Code sections 8-2-
10(A) and 8-2-10(B)(2)(d)(2)(A)require a public hearing on this request, since more than 5
addresses will be affected by the impacts of this request. The public hearing provides affected
stakeholders with an opportunity for public testimony prior to a decision from the Meridian
Planning and Zoning Commission on the request.
Context
The City of Meridian participates in a countywide addressing system that is critical in supporting
emergency management systems (EMS). This addressing system also serves as the point of
beginning for most of the City's planning and building permits. Street naming and street name
changes are overseen by the multi-agency Ada County Addressing Committee (AACC), which
consists of representatives from EMS,planning, and various other agencies.
On October 29, 2024, the AACC voted to change the name of N Cooper Lane to N Cooper Ave.
The AACC also requested the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) to install a street sign that
reads, "N Cooper Ave" (see Exhibit B: Site Photos). The installation of the street sign prior to
Meridian's approval of the street name change was premature, and all properties are currently
addressed from N Cooper Ln. The Committee's vote should be treated as a recommendation, and
serves as an official request by Ada County for a street name change pursuant to Meridian City
Code section 8-2-10(B)(2)(a), which reads: "Another public agency may request that an existing
street name be changed by filing a written request with the department including the reasons for
the requested change, or the department may do so at its discretion."

Code References and Standard of Review
"Posttype" is defined by Meridian City Code section 8-2-3 as the Meridian City Code section 8-
2-6(A)(12)(b) as "one (1) of the following labels attached as a suffix to the name of a street[:]
avenue,boulevard, court, drive, lane, place, road, street or way." Meridian City Code section 8-
2-6(A)(12)(b), importantly, indicates that the posttype "Lane" is to be used for a private street
only.
Meridian City Code section 8-2-10(13)(2)(e) reads:
Commission decision. Following the public hearing, the commission shall grant or deny
the request, and in so doing, the commission shall take into consideration the testimony
provided, the department's findings, the Assessor's comments, the impact of the
proposed street name change on public safety including the accurate dispatch of
emergency vehicles or delivery of emergency services, the date of the original dedication
of the street, the number of existing addresses on the street in question, and any other
factors pertinent to proposed street name change.
Department Findings
Impact of the proposed street name change on public safety: The Department finds that
changing the street name from N Cooper Lane to N Cooper Avenue will improve public safety,
including the accurate dispatch of emergency vehicles or delivery of emergency services.
Date of the original dedication of N Cooper Lane: 9/29/2023
Number of existing addresses on N Cooper Lane: 50 addresses will be affected by this street
name change. The Wood Rose Apartments, located on this street, are not fully constructed or
occupied at this time.
Other factors pertinent to proposed street name change:
Woodrose Apartment Annexation, application H-2021-0092
In 2021 the City of Meridian annexed parcel# S0436346615 as part of the Wood Rose
Apartment project. All of the application materials for this project referenced a N Cooper Ln,
rather than N Cooper Ave. It is not fully understood why a lane (private street only)posttype was
assigned, given that the right-of-way would be dedicated for a public street. Nonetheless, the
project was approved without correction to the posttype, including from ACHD, which
referenced the "lane"posttype throughout their staff report for this project(see Exhibit B: Site
Photos).
Address Change for dwelling units on parcel#R9532190400
In 2022 Ada County requested that a secondary dwelling on parcel#R9532190400 be officially
addressed in Meridian's addressing system. The existing primary residence was addressed as
3335 N Cooper Ave, though it had no access to Cooper Ave, and instead took access from Ustick
Road. Meridian readdressed the permanent residence as 3335 N Cooper Ln, and added a new
address for the secondary dwelling, which address was also on N Cooper Ln. Ada County
supported addressing both of these units off of N Cooper Ln.
(It is this property that makes the connection of what is currently N Cooper Ln to N Cooper
Ave., given that the existing home would likely have to be torn down or moved to facilitate a
public roadway.)

Woodrose Apartment Conditional Use Permit, application H-2022-0086
In 2023 the Wood Rose Apartments project received conditional use permit (CUP) approval to
move forward with the development of the apartment complex. The record of decision for this
application uses both N Cooper Ave and N Cooper Ln. The ACHD staff report only references
Cooper Ln, and City of Meridian documentation references both Cooper Ave and Cooper Ln.
Ada County did not provide any public comment on this application. However, a specific
finding in the approved findings of fact does state, "The Applicant shall deed the required right-
of-way for N. Cooper Avenue to ACHD."
It is understood that at some point Ada County requested a name change from N Cooper Ln to N
Cooper Ave,but record and timing of that request have not been found. The City likely moved
forward with the "lane"posttype due to confused records and a misalignment in the Meridian,
ACHD, and Ada County Assessor's Office approvals. Meridian and the Assessor's Office staff
are working to improve coordination for these types of projects to avoid this situation in the
future.
Department Recommendation
Staff is in support of Ada County's request and recommends that the Commission approve the
requested change from N Cooper Lane to N Cooper Avenue. While the impacts of a street name
change may cause inconvenience for some stakeholders in the short term, especially for the
property owners who previously changed their addresses from Ustick to N Cooper Ln, the
appropriate posttype for this street is "Avenue," as this is not a private street, and therefore not a
"Lane." Public safety, the dispatch of emergency vehicles, and the delivery of emergency
services to the properties on the renamed street will not be impacted by this change.
Changing N Cooper Ln to N Cooper Ave will also put the issues related to this request to rest,
once and for all. A future extension of Cooper Ln, north to connect to Cooper Ave would
eventually require a name change and affect even more stakeholders in the future, when the
Wood Rose Apartments are fully occupied. The requested action will not modify any addressing
numbers (only the posttype).
