RE: Touchmark Mixed Use I Meridian, ID
Development Agreement Modification, PUD Modification, Rezone (Updated April 25, 2025)
Dear Sonya and Bill,
Collectively, our team,The Land Group, Inc., Pivot North, and Touchmark,the owner/operator of the
Project, are pleased to submit the enclosed applications associated with Touchmark Mixed Use (the
"Project" or"Development"). The Development site is generally located south of Franklin Road, east of
Eagle Road,west of the Ridenbaugh Canal, and north of Interstate 84.
North of Franklin Road are industrial uses zoned I-L,west is a medical office campus which includes St.
Luke's hospital zoned L-O,to the east is the Ridenbaugh Canal and Edgeview Estates Subdivision which is
zoned R-1C in the City of Boise. Nearby commercial uses are located at the northeast and southeast
corners of Eagle and Franklin Road are zoned C-G. 1-84 is located directly south of the property.
Touchmark Mixed Use is envisioned as a premier master planned community. The project proposes a
mix of uses consistent with the original Touchmark Master Plan and is complimentary to the existing
residential, medical office, and industrial uses nearby. The plan is consistent with Meridian's recently
adopted comprehensive plan which includes 5 vision themes: Premier, Evolving, Livable,Vibrant, and
Connected.
The properties have a Future Land Use Designation of Mixed-Use Community. Per the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan,the purpose of the mixed-use designation is to "provide for a combination of
compatible land uses within a close geographic area that allows for easily accessible and convenient
services for residents,workers, and visitors." "The intent of these designations is to encourage
developments that offer functional and physical integration of land uses,to create and enhance
neighborhood sense of place, and to allow a high degree of design and use flexibility."
All mixed-use developments should have a mix of at least three of the five land use types. These types
being commercial,office, residential, civic,and industrial. Touchmark Mixed Use is proposed to include
commercial,office, a variety of residential housing, and light industry uses which more than complies
with this provision.

History:
Touchmark has owned the Property since the late 1990s and opened the first phase of its retirement
community,Touchmark at Meadowlake Village, in 2003.Touchmark has been a member of the Meridian
community for over 20 years collaborating with local businesses, non-profits, schools, and government
organizations to provide employment and volunteer opportunities as well as provide a much-needed
service for elderly residents of the Boise area who move into Touchmark at Meadowlake Village.
The properties were annexed and zoned L-O with a PUD and Development Agreement in 2001 (AZ-99-
0021). The Development Agreement states the uses permitted with the agreement include "the
construction and development of a continuing care retirement community comprised of 250 to 300
units of independent and assisted living,450 units of residential including single family, duplexes, multi-
family and townhomes, medical office parks, commercial and retail businesses, and a community senior
health and fitness center."
The narrative for the original entitlement states for a "continuing care retirement community comprised
of 250-300 units of independent and assisted living and 450+/- units of residential (the site plan shows
466-632 units) including single family, duplexes, multi-family, and townhomes. In addition,the
community would have medical office park, commercial and retail businesses, and a community senior
health and fitness center."
The original master plan included approximately 874 retirement housing units, and 20.5-acres of
medical office uses. Commercial uses were shown on the plan, but exact acreage or square footage
wasn't clearly defined.
Since that time approximately 428 residential units have been built in the existing retirement
community. The retirement community also includes a community senior health and fitness center and
many amenities enjoyed by residents including open greenspace and walking trails, community garden,
coffee shop and bistro, salon and barbershop, library,theatre, dining venues, pickleball courts, and
other enjoyable on-site amenities.
See original master plan exhibit below. Originally it didn't include 4.6-acres at 3975 E Franklin Road.

2007 Master Plan
The Development Agreement and three addendums to the Development Agreement have been
approved by the City of Meridian. The most recent addendum was recorded in 2008.
Approximately 62.8-acres of the 121.5 total acres or 52%of the Original Master Plan land area has been
constructed and is operating as Meadowlake Village, a Touchmark Community.
Development Agreement Modification
The original applications,for Touchmark Living Centers, were processed under application numbers AZ-
99-021, CUP-99-039. Ordinance number 01-917.
The original development agreement is recorded as instrument number 101048096 on May 18, 2001.
April 2001 Addendum to Development agreement recorded as instrument number 101048097 on May
18, 2001 (yes,the same day. The addendum addresses phase plans one through five).

The Bair property was processed under application number AZ-02-018, Ord #02-983. The Touchmark
site/Bair Property annexation addendum instrument# 102143308, and the May 2003 Addendum
recorded on August 14, 2003, instrument# 103137119, and Meadowlake Village North 3rd Addendum,
MI-07-006, instrument# 108022885.
Per the 1999 application narrative, the L-O zoning designation was selected as it would allow for a
retirement community within a single family, duplex, or multifamily neighborhood. It would also allow
office and retail uses.
As outlined in the City of Meridian's comprehensive plan, Meridian is an "Evolving Community" and over
the past 20+years since the Project's original Master Plan, a refresh, or evolution of the development
plan is warranted. Touchmark is proposing to update the zoning and development plan on the
remaining vacant property in the master plan. The existing community will remain unchanged, except
for the small golf course. At some point in the future that area may be redeveloped with Villas. The
open space amenities are also evolving and as the golf course is redeveloped,the required open space
amenities will be reprogrammed in other areas of the project.
The DA Modification is requested to update the concept plan and to consolidate the existing
agreements into one agreement that replaces all previous development agreements. The concept plan
is proposed as a "bubble" plan. The bubble plan details the uses proposed/permitted in specific areas of
the project and the dimensional standards of each.
Summary of the Project
The Touchmark Mixed Use development includes approximately 114,000 SF of medical office space,
approximately 500 non-age restricted market rate multifamily units (both apartments and townhouses),
24 villas/duplex units, 75,546 SF of self-storage,45,000 SF of general office space, 45,000 SF of
commercial retail space, and an approximately 126-room hotel. The development is planned to be
phased. A phasing plan is included in the application materials. The buildout is anticipated to be
completed between 2030 and 2040.

Rezone
Although the L-O zone was supported in 2001 and through the PUD process the L-O zone would still
achieve the project's vision and goals,the city planning staff is recommending a rezone to avoid
confusion to align the zoning more closely with the actual uses. Therefore, a rezone to Community
Commercial (C-C) and General Commercial (C-G) are proposed for portions of the project. The
previously constructed areas of the development are proposed to remain L-O.
The Community Commercial zone will support the single family attached and detached units,
multifamily residential, hotel, and commercial/retail uses. The General Commercial zone is proposed in
the northeast to support the light industry and commercial uses proposed in the concept plan.
Conditional Use/PUD Modification
The original approvals included a CUP/PUD. The PUD provides an opportunity for exemplary site
development which allows for innovative design with cohesive development patterns. Residential
development is permitted at densities greater than 8 units per acre where garage doors are generally
not fronting the street.

The PUD proposes to include the following uses as principally permitted so long as the use is located
generally on the project where shown on the concept plan and complies with the specific use standards
provided in the Meridian City Unified Development Code.
Multifamily residential development
Townhouses &Villas/attached single-family residential
Detached single-family residential (Cottages)
Hotel
Daycare Center
Live/work residential
Light Industry(in C-G zone only)
Storage facility, self-service (in C-G zone only)
Warehouse (in C-G zone only)
Amenities
Throughout the project, pedestrian sidewalks and multi-use pathways will be utilized to create a
network to ensure safety and efficient mobility through the site. As intended in the original master plan,
a multigenerational project where residents of the existing Touchmark retirement community can
maintain a sense of security while benefitting from the adjacent diverse uses is intentional. Future
occupants of the multifamily and townhomes as well as users of the future commercial and retail will
benefit from generous new connectivity and greenspace throughout the interior of the master plan as
well as from the existing pedestrian infrastructure along Franklin Road and Touchmark Way. Extensive
pathways will be accompanied by recreational areas for children and adults to enjoy daytime leisure
activities such as playgrounds, open greenspace, dog areas, and functional spaces that promote general
health and wellness.
An existing monument sign, landscape, and fountain amenity exist at the Southeast corner of the
Franklin Road and South Touchmark Way intersection will remain. At least one amenity per amenity
category within the Meridian City Code is proposed, most of which shall be located within the multi-
family component of the project. Examples of potential amenities include a clubhouse of at least 5,000
S.F.,fitness course, open space commons with shelter, dog waste stations strategically placed
throughout, swimming pool and changing facilities/restrooms, playground, bicycle storage, and charging
stations for electric vehicles. Proposed amenities will meet or exceed the amenity point count
requirement for a development of 121 acres. Project specific amenities will be better defined during the
CZC approval process.
Phasing
Phasing is planned over the next 5-15 years. No new public roads are proposed as the roads and utility
stubs occurred in earlier phases of the Touchmark project.
Platting may occur but is not required.
Utilities
Public utilities are available and immediately adjacent with capacity to serve the project. Water service
and sanitary sewer service will be provided via extensions of main lines in Touchmark and Franklin Road.

Landscaping
Concept landscaping plans are included for street buffers and internal driveways. Project specific open
space and parking lot landscaping will be addressed during the CZC approval process.
The existing attached sidewalk along Franklin Road is proposed to remain as-is due to the large grade
change between the road and adjacent property.
Traffic
The Touchmark master plan was originally studied by Kittelson &Associates in 1999. ACHD approved
the project and Touchmark entered into a Cooperative Development Agreement for public
infrastructure improvements. That agreement has been satisfied.
Access to the project will be provided via existing public rights of way, E Franklin Road and S Touchmark
Way, and a new internal private driveway system. No new public roads are proposed. A new access to
E Franklin Road is proposed to align with N.Truckee Avenue to the north.
An updated traffic impact study, as required by ACHD, has been conducted by Kittelson &Associates for
the updated concept plan. The recommendations from the updated report state that the "Touchmark
development can be developed with minimal impacts to the surrounding roadway system..." The
adjacent arterial roadways constructed to their planned build-out widths.
ACHD and ITD are reviewing the study to provide their comments and recommended conditions.
Conclusion
The Touchmark Mixed Use is planned to complement the existing Meadowlake Village community,
adjacent residential, commercial, and office uses. The project will provide a vibrant, livable
development with a variety of housing options to fit an evolving community. The commercial
component will provide easily accessible and convenient services for residents and the general vicinity.
The Development Agreement Modification, PUD Modification and Rezone request complies with the
applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan.
We are very excited to present the Touchmark Mixed Use project to the City of Meridian. The project
complies with the comprehensive plan and Meridian unified development code.
We look forward to working with staff,the Planning&Zoning Commission, and City Council to plan a
project that we can all be proud of. As you complete your review, please let us know if we can provide
any additional information to clarify the Project's vision.
Sincerely,
