Core & Main B306 New Office - Meridian, ID
Annexation Narrative
Core & Main is a national supplier and leading distributor of construction materials for water, sewer, storm
drain, fire protection products and geosynthetic products. The company's national supply chain provides
contractors, private water companies and municipalities with innovative solutions for new construction and
aging infrastructure. The company has more than 350 service centers across the United States with over
5,500 employees nationwide.
Our wholesale waterworks branch has been serving Meridian, ID for the past 30 years and we are currently
located at 3338 E. Commercial Street. By expanding our facilities at a new larger location, we will be able to
better serve the infrastructure needs of southwest Idaho and expand our staff. Our goal is to use our existing
facility for a new fire protection, geosynthetic or HDPE fusion division branch in the future to expand our
services to the region.
The site is located on a 4.42 +/- acre tract on the west side of South Black Cat Road north of Interstate 84.
The goal is to construct a 19,000 square foot building with a 14,492 s.f. +/- warehouse and a 4,508 s.f. +/-
office with sales offices, sales counter, showroom, administration offices, storage room, conference room, file
room, IT room, staff restrooms and breakroom. There is also a 4,508 s.f. +/- storage mezzanine above the
office area.
Our warehouse will store copper water pipes, various pipe fittings, erosion material and fabric, irrigation
supplies and various drainage materials that can be stored on racks. A covered storage area is needed on the
rear of the warehouse for items such as erosion materials, hydraulic cement and bags of cement mix that
cannot be stored in exposed conditions.
Our business requires a secure outdoor storage yard for PVC pipes of various sizes, ductile iron pipe, HDPE
fusion piping, storm drain products, manhole frames, fire hydrants, and water meters. These materials are too
large to store inside or too heavy to be stored on racks. Flatbed trucks need to be able to drive through the
storage yard for these products to be loaded onto them by forklifts. The yard will be screened with an 8' high
fence that meets architectural design standards.
The subject property is currently located in Ada County with RUT (Rural Urban Transition) zoning. We are
seeking annexation into the City Limits which will allow us to access the existing water and sewer services
located along South Black Cat Road. We are requesting the property to be rezoned with I-L (Light Industrial)
zoning. This new zoning district allows for uses that are appropriate for our wholesale business. Per Table 11-
2C-2 in the zoning ordinance, the applicable allowed/permitted uses in I-L zoning include building materials,
garden equipment & supplies; contractor's yard, light industrial, outside storage facility and wholesale sales.
The property to the south of this (128.55 +/- acres) has been annexed and rezoned with I-L zoning.
If our property is rezoned as I-L, it would be compatible with the neighboring property.
