RE: Amendment to the Future Land Use Map & Re-establishment of the Area of City Impact
Boundary
Dear Mr. Freckleton,
The City of Meridian Planning Division is applying for a Comprehensive Plan Map
Amendment (CPAM). This amendment concurrently modifies the boundaries of the Future
Land Use Map (FLUM) and re-establishes the boundaries of the City's Area of City Impact
(AOCI). The intent of the amendment is to align the City's AOCI with the adopted Idaho State
Code §67-6526 Areas of Impact, as amended in 2024. The proposed amendment does not
modify any policies or text of the current City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed amendment removes all land area that wholly extends beyond two miles
from current City limits, except where a portion of a given parcel extends beyond the two-mile
buffer, such area is included in the proposed AOCI as allowed by Idaho State Code
§67-6526.4(b). The FLUM is being amended to match the boundary of the proposed AOCI.
At the time of submittal of this request, there are thirty-eight (38) parcels generally located
in the southwest corner of Meridian's AOCI, that are proposed to be removed from the City's
AOCI. All thirty-eight parcels have a designation of Low Density Residential on the FLUM. The
combined area of the parcels is 507.34 acres (more or less).
Additionally, as a product of timing, a property that has recently been approved to exclude
itself from the City of Boise AOCI and FLUM, has requested to be incorporated into the
City of Meridian's AOCI and FLUM.

The subject property is owned by Mr. Frans and is located at 12504 W. Amity Road (parcel no.
S1128449082). The parcel is 5.06 acres (more or less). Mr. Frans has intentions of developing his
property in the near future, however, is not requesting annexation at this time. The property is
proposed to have a designation of Medium Density Residential. The applicant has provided his
written consent to be included in the City's AOCI, and FLUM, with a designation Medium Density
Residential.
City staff are coordinating this effort with Ada County staff. The proposed amendment to the
boundary of the City of Meridian Area of City Impact will not be adopted, nor official until such
time that the Board of County Commissioners adopts such an ordinance. Pursuant to Idaho code
67-6526(1a) County commissioners make the final determination regarding area of impact
boundaries with the County.
Supporting documentation and materials are included as part of this request and may be further
detailed in the subsequent staff report.
Sincerely,
Carl Anderson I Long Range Associate Planner
