E. Broadway Ave. #102 Meridian, ID 83642 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. Community Development Department . 33 E. Broadway Avenue, Suite 102, Meridian, ID 83642 Phone 208-884-5533 . www.meridiancity.org 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.
