Application of Friends of Children and Families, Inc.

Dear City Council of Meridian:
Every property owner in this zoned area bought his or her property, voluntarily, with full
knowledge that these properties are zoned I-L [Industrial].
No activity, planned or considered, in this neighborhood should EVER be permitted to
abridge, limit, or restrict in any way our right to develop our properties according to the
existing I-L zoning of the property we purchased.
I fully intend the future I-L business development of my own property here and expect
other nearby property owners to exercise the same right. As this is an industrial-zoned
area devoted to business, commercial uses, to include retail convenience stores and
packaged alcohol sales in this immediate vicinity (since we are only about 3 blocks from
the commercial center of the city) should also be expected and welcomed here. These
development and usage rights must not be hindered or limited in any way by a potential
"school zone" or "transitional" zoning permits that are not of an industrial/commercial
business nature. No use of property in this neighborhood should be permitted to restrict
or hinder the future I-L character and industrial/commercial business use of arty other
property in this area.
My full faith is that both the City Council of Meridian and the Planning and Zoning
Commission of Meridian will uphold and protect the existing I-L property rights of every
property owner here in this I-L zone in every way as this area is developed as an
industrial and business zone in the heart of the city.
Sincerely,
~~.
James Cain
