14. Clarification for Adero Development Agreement
Simison: So, next up will be Department/Commission Reports. Item 14, clarification for
Adero development agreement. Mr. Nary.
Nary: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. I provided you a short memo
and as I stated this isn't a public hearing, but for the public record we will make note we
are here to talk about the Adero Subdivision that was approved previously from a public
Meridian City Council Work Session
September 9,2025
Page 4 of 19
hearing with the City Council in June. At that discussion there was a lot of discussion
about both the commercial portion of this development, as well as the residential portion
and part of the commercial that was left unclear at least from the parties when we
concluded was that there was a lengthy discussion about the future development of the
commercial site and I provided you with a memo very briefly on that -- on that
conversation and discussion. In the staff report there was a reference to one potential
future development plan that could be used as part of the discussion from the applicant.
They had a number of plans that they would like to have considered for future
development, because, again, they wanted to leave as many potential options open for
the future and the discussion and the approval. It wasn't really specified if the Council
had one preference over the other. So, as we were developing the development
agreement and wanted to get it right and having conversations with the applicant, as
well as the staff, it was unclear from everyone on whether the Council's intention was to
identify one particular -- one for a possible future development or the number that was
presented by the applicant, which included a variety of different options, different
configurations and such. So, I provided those in a memo and, really, I'm just looking for
direction from the Council if you had an opportunity to review that and if you recall the
discussion and, really, as we prepare the development agreement I just want to make
sure we provide all the direction the Council is looking for on that. So, if you had any
other follow up I can hopefully answer that for you.
Simison: Mr. Nary, I did have a couple questions for you. So, a bubble map is what
was reviewed and discussed by Council. My rec -- or reviewed primarily through that
concept. Do any of the proposed other ones not comply with that bubble map that was
presented to our knowledge?
Nary: To my knowledge, no. I mean they are all various iterations of things that could
be done in the same configuration -- in the same space. So, yes.
Simison: So, they would comply with the general consistency, because the thing that
didn't make sense to me if -- why would you show a bubble map, but, then, only show
one plan. That I never really articulated that connection, but I didn't know if all of them
met the view of the bubble map from --
Nary: I believe so.
Simison: Okay. Thanks. Just wanted to see if that was true or not. Okay. Council,
questions for -- or comments for Mr. Nary?
Overton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: I think we have learned, even just recently when we looked at some industrial
flex space, that we can sit here as Council and decide how we want to see something
developed and it may not be what's out there and what's needed and I like the options
Meridian City Council Work Session
September 9,2025
Page 5 of 19
presented to have six different options, because it's not me trying to sell this to
commercial spaces to what's going to be there, it's going to be the developers are going
to develop that for what the market needs and requires at that time and I'm perfectly
okay with leaving the six different options in if they meet that original bubble diagram
and letting the development move forward with that type of flexibility for what the market
brings to bear when they do develop it.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Council, I think you know I wasn't present in person for this, but I did go back
and -- and watch the meeting that night and at least I think that was certainly my
takeaway is that we -- we -- actually I think we were kind of commending the applicant
for saying, okay, we want to -- we want options, but we want to really be transparent.
Say these are the options that we would like to have available and so, again, as an
outsider who wasn't participating, but watch via YouTube I think that was certainly the
consensus that I was seeing from Council and I just don't want to have -- for the record,
I -- I plan to probably vote if there is action taken on this, but I wasn't there for the public
hearing portion.
Nary: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, what I really simply need is, again, your
direction by motion that your intention was in this approval and what we have approved
as the findings. My intention wasn't to amend the findings, but your findings were to
reflect all of the plans presented by the applicant as future options for development of
that commercial portion of the site. That's what we will, then, include in the
development agreement, which will be the controlling document in the future. If that's
your direction that's what I was looking for.
Simison: Councilman Whitlock.
Whitlock: Mr. Nary, do you need that in the form of a motion or just head nods at this
point?
Nary: A motion would be great and that way I can make sure to include that in the
development agreement.
Whitlock: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Whitlock.
Whitlock: If there is no other discussion on the matter, I would move that we provide
that direction that it was clear in the bubble map that there were options available and
that we would allow the developer to move forward with those concepts in mind. Those
additional concepts, rather than just one.
Meridian City Council Work Session

Overton: Second.
Simison: Have a motion and a second to provide direction and clarification to include
the different concepts. Is there discussion?
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Because I voted against this application I will abstain.
Taylor: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Taylor.
Taylor: I was in a similar situation where I was not present at that. I did go back and
watch it just to kind of refresh what it was, because I could not remember when I saw
this on the agenda I did not even recall it. So, I did go back and watch it. I'm
comfortable, though, with the discussion and kind of the memo with aligning with what
Councilman Whitock's motion was.
Simison: Okay. Any further comments? Have the Clerk call the roll.
Roll Call: Cavener, yea; Strader, abstain; Overton, yea; Little Roberts, yea; Taylor, yea;
Whitlock, yea.
Simison: Five ayes. One abstain. And your direction is provided.
MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES.
Nary: Thank you.
15. Historic Preservation Plan Goals, Objectives, and Strategies
Alignment
Cavener: All right. With that we will move on to Item 15, which is Historic Preservation
plan, goals, objectives and strategic strategies alignment. Invite Cassandra up.
Schiffler: Chris is going to queue up my presentation. Thank you, Mayor and Council
Members, for having me here today. As most of you know I'm Casandra Schiffler, I'm
the arts and culture coordinator for the city and most of you probably are more familiar
with the -- my work with the Arts Commission, but I'm also the staff liaison for the
Historic Preservation Commission. So, we have been working on a historic
preservation plan and part of that is the goals, objectives and strategies and there are a
few things that sort of rose to the level of -- I think we need some direction on, so that's
why I'm here today. So, for moving forward -- so, for a quick overview of what I'm going
Meridian City Council Work Session
September 9,2025
Page 7 of 19
to be presenting, just a quick -- what is an historic preservation plan and some of the
work we have done on the SWOT analysis, survey and public outreach and, then, going
into the goals, strategies and objectives and a little bit about some of the city's comp
plan goals and the proposed goals for the preservation plan and, then, asking you the
question is if these goals are aligned with the city's priorities -- so, to put some of those
questions up first and foremost, as I go through the preservation -- as I go through the
presentation, so I'm really -- we are looking for some feedback if Council is interested in
pursuing some of the historic preservation tools that are out there, like history-related
design guidelines, a landmarking program, which I will talk about a little bit later or
conservation overlay districts and it's kind of interesting that we also -- you also just had
the Destination Downtown plan talking about some design guidelines, too. So,
secondary to that question -- so, our Historic Preservation Commission right now is
much more educational and celebratory and really isn't a regulatory body that's part of
like the design review process. So, implementing some of these things would really
kind of change the nature of the Historic Preservation Commission and if we are
interested in doing those things, then, asking -- I'm asking you if City Council would be
supportive and prepared to allocate resources to do some of those things. So,
preservation plan. What is it? In 2014 we adopted the Meridian Historic Preservation
Plan and we recently received a grant from SHPO, that's the State Historic Preservation
Office, to do an updated version of the historic preservation plan. So, we have been
contracting with a consultant and doing -- they have been looking through, you know,
what are the current existing conditions and looking at the programs and evaluation --
evaluating it. We have been doing a lot of public outreach and engagement, doing the
goals objective strategy setting and the end goal is to come to you with a plan. Well,
first to come to the Historic Preservation Commission and adopt the plan formally and,
then, adopt the plan for -- with -- with the Council, which would, then, be referred to in
the city's Comp Plan as part of, you know, our adopted plans that we are working on.
So, the SWOT analysis -- and I did -- I attached this presentation to the agenda, so you
can look at this, because there is a lot of words here and I'm not going to go -- I'm not
going to read through all of these, but I want to hit on a couple highlights. So, the -- sort
of a stakeholder meeting with several of the commissioners and some interested
individuals in the community and some of the things they came up with for strengths --
residents really love Meridian's historic buildings and we have the walking tours
available through online and through the app and have been doing some in-person
walking tours and we have had a lot of successful projects recently. We did a survey.
The speedway listing had an Orchid Award. So, those are some strengths. And
weaknesses that -- something that kind of came up a few times is that there are
currently no regulatory measures for saving historic buildings and another thing is that
there is not a large inventory of historic buildings. We -- it's not the same quite as like
Nampa or Caldwell or Pocatello or our neighbor to the east that they really do have a lot
more buildings that are over a hundred years old. We don't -- we don't have as many.
Oh. And one other thing is that things really take a long time, as you know in
government, either for grants or projects and just the process, things -- things sort of
take a long time. Some opportunities for growth is that they could participate in the
development review process. There was a lot of talk about developing a
communication plan for more education, for programming, for storytelling and outreach
Meridian City Council Work Session
September 9,2025
Page 8 of 19
and also trying to develop ways to support individuals interested in historic preservation,
like homeowners, like how could we support them or develop resources or guides to
encourage them to do historic preservation. Threats to success is that there are not
really regulatory tools right now for the Historic Preservation Commission. Funding is
always kind of uncertain. It's never guaranteed. Our commission is lucky that we do
provide funds for a lot of their activities. Not every historic preservation commission has
that. And the other threat to success is doing nothing. So, we will not do nothing.
Survey. So, we had the survey open and had several responses from residents. We
had a public outreach event, which was -- had a walking tour with 15 people that ended
at Hidden Gem Events, which was great. Had like 15 people for the walking tour and
maybe another 20 that came encouraging them to take the survey and a few of the
responses on the survey. A couple highlights is that majority of respondents think that
sustaining authentic community character and providing educational opportunities for
historic sites and users and visitors would have some of the biggest benefit to historic
preservation. The biggest priority was mixed. There were a lot of things, but the two
that were the highest were celebrating the city's heritage and identifying and
documenting historic properties. People were interested in learning about historic
districts and how they work and most people think that historic preservation is positive
for the community, but at the same time not well understood. From the responses three
main areas that were identified to be the most vulnerable to demolition were agricultural
buildings, downtown and other commercial areas and houses and neighborhoods.
There was also an outreach event at the market and got some feedback on some of the
proposed plan, goals and objectives and strategies, mostly real positive feedback there.
So, with that I will get into the goals, objectives and strategies. So, starting off with the
city's comp plan -- so, this is already adopted and I know that the planning team is
actually working on the city's comp plan, so they asked for some feedback on a lot of
goals. So, I'm just highlighting a couple of the goals here, four of them, and this is -- this
is four out of like two dozen goals and the other ones we are doing a lot of the things
already, but I -- I'm bringing sort of these ones up, because -- so, like five two one is to
maintain and implement design and building standards for historically significant
buildings and -- but we actually don't have any adopted design building standards, so I
think the Historic Preservation Commission is interested in the effort and, then, there
are things like coordinate with the Commission to recommend use, reservation and
preservation of historic sites and structures. But in the comments I put that there is not
currently a formal process to review them. Similarly incorporate into the development
review process a way to determine impact on geological, historical, archeological sites
and, again, there is no formal process for that and developing policies to preserve and
protect document, historically and culturally significant sites. So, there is currently no
policies. That goal has really primarily been accomplished through listing places in the
National Register of Historic Places, which is an honorific program. So, that doesn't
mean, just like the speedway is listed, that doesn't mean that they can't do any
development on it, so -- and just a -- I kind of thought the planning department would be
kicking me off by going -- you are going to be getting more about the comp plan on
various goals, but I'm actually kicking them off by kind of bringing some of those comp
plan goals to you first. So, what are the goals and strategies that we have come up
with? Goal number one, identify and document cultural, historic, archeological
Meridian City Council Work Session
September 9,2025
Page 9 of 19
resources. This is something we are already do. We did one in 2023 and it's something
-- sorry. Hold on. Oh. And it also had some objectives in there about coordinating with
Ada County's Historic Preservation Commission and SHPO and going forward with
national registry nominations. Goal number two is about sustaining Meridian's authentic
community character by preserving and protecting historic and cultural resources. So,
this is the area that has a lot of like planning and development process aspects and
some of those goals and something about the landmarking program, design guidelines.
So, this is the area that I'm going to come back to. Goal number three, inform and
engage residents and visitors about opportunities in our community. So, this is for like
educational and celebratory sort of part, working with the library and other agencies,
continuing the walking tours, celebrating preservation month. We are doing a good job
in a lot of those areas. And goal number four, strengthen the operation and
administration of Meridian Historic Preservation Commission. So, that's like adopt this
plan as kind of goal number one for that and, then, for things like having commissioners
attend trainings and doing regular evaluations and reports. So, more for administration.
So, really I'm going to focus on goal number two and so I'm bringing some of the things
to you that I think are the ones I want feedback on. There is lots of areas that I think are
great and we don't need feedback on. So -- and I worry sometimes about getting into
the weeds too much with this and providing enough information. So, please, ask
questions or if I'm getting into the weeds let me know. But, Objective 2.1, promoting
preservation of Old Town to enhance historic quality. So, this is collaborate with the
planning division to identify measures to historic -- support historic preservation within
Old Town, including consideration of district boundaries and collaborate, again, with the
planning department -- or division to prepare and update city's design guidelines for
historic buildings. Again, I think this is kind of interesting when there is the Destination
Downtown -- Downtown Plan talking about design guidelines, too. So, not sure what
feedback we want to go with there. How you could give input, because I know you are
kind of talking about that already. Objective 2.2, protecting vulnerable historic sites and
structures from demolition. So, proceeding with the State Historic Preservation Office
for the National Register districts as outlined in the survey. So, I'm going to talk about
that and following up with National Register districts. So, here is a map and two areas
that were identified as districts that are potentially eligible for the National Register of
Historic Places. One of them is the East Idaho block. So, that's kind of like Truffles and
The Vault and SHPO did get back to us just recently and said, actually, the Masonic
building should be on this, so it's not on the original survey, but that's -- so, it's -- it's kind
of a small area, it's like five to six buildings right there along Idaho Street and, then, also
up on North Main Street, which is like Epi's and Meridian Cycle, which is in the old
Catholic Church. Enduring Photo. So, that's a district that's eligible. And, then, there is
several other places -- that like 12 other properties that are either eligible or -- or are
already listed, like the Cove house, Cole Valley Christian is -- that site is another one
that would be eligible. But they are not part of the district, but they are downtown. So,
that's one option that we could pursue is trying to move forward with National Register
of Historic Places nominations on those. More goals. Incorporate the preservation of
historic cultural and agricultural -- agricultural resources into planning and development
processes. So, developing a formal process through planning to -- for applications that
come through with potential -- that would affect potential historic sites and demolition
Meridian City Council Work Session
September 9,2025
Page 10 of 19
review. That's come up a few times. We currently have a demolition. It's kind of been
described as more over the counter, so having something in place to adjust the
demolition and, then, collaborating with code enforcement regarding violations. Right
now we don't have any codes, so there wouldn't be any code enforcement, but that
could be down the line. 2.4. Develop the -- a Meridian Register of Historic Places to
recognize sites. So, this is a little bit different than the districts and it was another option
for tools called the landmarking -- a landmarking program, which not very many
communities use, but it's -- so, the state code allows us to do this landmarking sort of
program and it would allow for HPC to review and make recommendations on changes
to properties and give them time to negotiate with the property owner. The biggest
advantage that -- with this over a district is that the properties can be noncontiguous, so
it could be throughout the city, instead of just like a district, and so you could kind of pick
and choose which ones. It's less regulatory or restrictive than a historic district and can
kind of be more open to what the community wants it to look like and it's -- but it's a way
to create a formal way to celebrate and preserve the properties. But this is a long-term
planning project and there is a lot more research that would be needed, like what
criteria would we establish for things to be part of the landmarking program. One of the
easiest criteria is that it would be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
That's kind of a simple way. And to just give you a little bit of an idea of there are -- like
how many sites would we be talking about, there are currently 129 sites that are
recorded as eligible for the National Register. We currently have nine of those sites that
are listed, eight of which are still standing because the Mittleider farmstead is one that is
no longer standing, but that's an idea of like how many properties we are talking about
there. So, last one -- and this is in goal four, rather than two, but still relevant. 4.2.
Again coordinate with planning division to explore and pursue zoning mechanisms and
4.3, consider assigning a planning -- a liaison from the planning department to
participate jointly with the Parks and Rec staff. So, it is unique for a Parks and Rec staff
to serve a historic preservation commission. So, that was something that came up. So,
going back, again, to the questions and why I'm here is to get some feedback on if you
are interested in pursuing some of these tools are we in alignment with this, because it
would change the nature of the commission as it currently is and if you are supportive
are you prepared to allocate resources to that. I feel like that was a lot of information,
so now I will stand for questions. Thank you.
Simison: Thank you, Cassandra. Council, questions? Comments?
Overton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: Two questions. First one quick. Is the current commission ready if this
changes?
Schiffler: Ready in what way? Can you clarify that a little bit?
Meridian City Council Work Session
September 9,2025
Page 11 of 19
Overton: If we don't work on this historic preservation now are they supportive of us
moving forward in this direction?
Schiffler: I might ask the chair to come up and answer that.
Johnston: Mr. Mayor, Members of the City Council, thank you Short answer is no.
Long answer -- or long term, yeah, we will work at that goal to get that. If this is what
City Council wants us to do, yeah, we will work to that goal to provide services to the
city and to do the work we need to do.
Overton: Mr. Mayor, follow up.
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: We just had a section of the Destination Downtown in front of us and I think I
made my comments pretty clear that I get worried that we are looking at a whole new
vision of downtown and we are not talking about how we are preserving our history and
we have lost a lot of opportunities over the years. There have been some pretty
amazing buildings I think we have had that we have lost to redevelopment. There has
been some amazing artifacts, even on the corner of one of the areas that you have
designated, that got taken out when the street got redone. Would this -- and how would
this impact, because I'm thinking four years from now. We just had the Dairy Days
week with the parade and it's their 96th year. In four years it will be their 100th year in
our city, centered right there at Storey Park, which was their property before they sold it
to the city. The Speedway has only been there since 1953 approximately. But they
have had that property for 96 years. What I want to see is if we -- if we commit to doing
something for historic preservation, what kind of an action plan and path forward do we
see to make some of that happen and what it's going to look like? Because I really want
to see us preserve our history in the best way possible. I'm just having a hard time
grabbing what that's going to look like moving forward.
Schiffler: Councilman Overton, I think that is a great question and maybe a more
complicated -- complicated question than I can answer in one session and I think it's
something that probably does -- would need a lot more development and probably some
help from the Planning Division to give input on like how -- what does that actually look
like through code? What are the changes? What would that be? But maybe a shorter
answer is right now if there is historic resources on sites there is not -- not a formal way
to let the Historic Preservation Commission know and, you know, it does add a step to
the development process, which sometimes is already quite lengthy. If it was something
that came to the Historic Preservation Commission and, then, went to Planning and
Zoning, so that the Historic Preservation Commission gave a more formal response on
some of those sites that's a potential thing that it would look like and those
recommendations could still be recommendations, rather than regulatory, but it would
give a chance for HPC to give some input and direction on those historic resources.
Overton: One last comment.
Meridian City Council Work Session
September 9,2025
Page 12 of 19
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: We have suffered from our own success as a community. I mean you go back
to just 1970 and we were the 29th biggest city in the state and we are number two today
and we grew so fast I don't think we had time to look back and say what we should
preserve and what not and I think there is still enough of our history in this city to do
everything we can to try to preserve so we don't lose it all, that I would be totally
supportive of seeing us move in this direction. So, I need to let everyone else speak as
well. Thank you.
Taylor: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Taylor.
Taylor: Thank you. This is pretty thought provoking one in light of the Destination
Downtown discussion we had. I kind of walked away from that discussion thinking and
agreeing with Councilman Overton, you know, we should be -- probably doing
something, but what is it that we would do? I fully agree with the idea that we should
act prudently and in some ways quickly and responsibly to preserve what's, you know,
historically significant to the city of Meridian. How do you do that through design
standards? You -- Councilman Overton kind of asked the question a little bit, but maybe
a little more detail. If we were to ask the Historic Preservation Commission to advise us
as to what kinds of design standards we should be looking at and considering or
changes we should be considering in our ordinances and zoning, do you feel like you
would have access to the resources to discuss that and vet that and come forward with
recommendations that you are comfortable with?
Schiffler: Councilman Taylor, it was interesting in some of the meetings where some
commissioners said, well, you know it when you see it, but I think it's actually very
difficult from a planning or a city standpoint to -- you know, you do have to have -- like
what does that actually look like? And currently I don't feel like I have the knowledge or
subject matter expertise and I don't think anyone on the commission has the subject
matter expertise to really make some of those recommendations. That is really a
historic preservationist specialty to what are those standards, what is that design
guideline. What does that look like.
Taylor: Mr. Mayor, follow up.
Simison: Councilman Taylor.
Taylor: I do think as a -- as a city we would kind of lean on having some advice to us as
to what that would look like, because I share the goal of preserving what makes our --
the city's history unique. How do you do that? What does it look like? And, again, in
light of the conversation about Destination Downtown, what the future of downtown
Meridian looks like and Old Town, is it something that is new and exciting to some
people? Is it preserving what's kind of really neat? You know, earlier this summer I was
Meridian City Council Work Session
September 9,2025
Page 13 of 19
in Charleston, South Carolina, and about every building had some marker and
something --just fascinating with the history and I loved -- loved that. We are not as old
as Charleston, I get that, but there is probably something we should try to find that you
preserve it that gives you a unique identity. So, I -- I guess I'm kind of contemplating --
and this is maybe more of a rhetorical question or question for ourselves, which would
be how would we -- how would we adjust or make changes to the -- what you are talking
about to advise the City Council on what we should do and I -- I guess what you are
kind of going for and I'm still -- the wheels are turning, I'm still thinking. I might have to
sit on that for a little bit.
Whitlock: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Whitlock.
Whitlock: Cassandra, thank you and appreciate the presentation and it is thought
provoking. I guess where my head is is where -- where do we find the balance? Where
do we have the ability to say, no, we ought to pause, we ought to reflect on the historical
value of -- of this particular parcel or property or building, but also not cede the authority
and the ability to make decisions about what the future will look like. Where is that
balance? Where is that -- that fine line? I think with historic districts we -- in my mind
you cross that line a little bit, you cede that authority to somebody else to be able to say
what you can and can't do within certain districts. So, I'm -- I'm kind of backing away
from that line a little bit, saying maybe it's part and -- parts and pieces here and there
that we identify and say those are important historic pieces of our -- of our past that we
need to preserve. So, help me find the balance to do what's right for history, but also to
do what's right for the future.
Schiffler: Councilman Whitlock, those are great thoughts and questions. I think it kind
of depends on Council's appetite for what level -- what level of preservation is
appropriate and makes sense for us and -- and districts can look different community to
community and I think for districts it would be really important to get -- and since they
are fairly small, probably every single person's buy in in such a program. Yeah. Or like
an opt in for the landmarking program as well. But that would potentially -- potentially
that would affect the future person that purchased the property, so --
Simison: Well, maybe just to touch on that point. I mean it's kind of like when you
people get easements or -- yeah. You know, you buy a piece of property and they have
sold off their development rights. That this person buys the property understands that.
So, you know -- but they understand that if they opt in they are limiting their likely resale
value because of that process, so, you know, that's been one of the -- this is why you
guys are getting this conversation. They have already heard it from me and, one,
generally trying to be quiet and let you all talk. But there are steps and processes that
can go through, but it is a give and take on the city side, on the building and landowner
side, on the next purchaser side on what makes sense and, then, are you preserving for
preservation sake or are you preserving for other -- other reasons? Is there community
value benefit to the dollars that you think the city should invest or not? Because some
Meridian City Council Work Session
September 9,2025
Page 14 of 19
of this can be done by the individual, you know, individual property owners can go and
put all sorts of land restrictions on their current property right now if they want to without
the city doing anything and prevent development from occurring. They can do that, but
-- so processes and I think that part of this is like how much money and time is the city
interested in going down this road is kind of the thing and we don't have to answer that
today, but that's -- that's the basis of the question that you are hearing today.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Kind of pick up where you left off. First off, Cassandra, Blaine, Ken,
appreciate -- a lot of you guys are asking the question and, you know, I want you to
know this isn't something that I'm -- I'm opposed to, but it certainly caused me to scratch
my head a little bit, because, you know, our Transportation Commission has been
asking for some regulatory authority and making stronger recommendations about
streets and roads and sidewalks and I think that's worthy of a conversation. Likewise,
we get the occasional application for residential development that, you know, one of
their amenity points is some public art. Well, I would really like our Arts Commission to
weigh in on that and so what we have seen, right, is because of our commissions
becoming more Meridian focus and action oriented, you guys aren't a country club, you
guys aren't just sitting around, you are doing work, you are asking the hard questions.
And so I think for me this is a path that I'm interested in exploring more, a little
tentatively if I'm going to be honest, because I want to find -- I think that Council
Member Whitlock's point to the right balance; right? I'm interested in learning more, but
I'm not interested in a process that slows our current development process as it is; right
I'm interested in this, but I'm not necessarily sold that we need to, then, have it
translated into addition full-time employees; right? So, finding that balance is what
allows the commission to -- or, excuse me, the HPC, the fact that you guys will be able
to accomplish things that you want to that you are not able to accomplish right now and,
you know, I think our -- our request from HPC at the Eggers farm is an exceptional
example of HPC. You guys wrote us a letter and said, hey, we think this is really
important and praise to the council, we mobilized and had hard conversations and
engaged the public and I think we got to a really really positive outcome and that speaks
to the commission. So, that said, if you have recommendations, because I value what
you are doing, I'm open to that. Some of those details are going to need to be worked
out probably over the next probably, six, nine to twelve months, not just inclusive of
HPC, but maybe with some of the other authority from what other commission maybe
should explore having and what the impact that is to our city operations moving forward.
So, no question, just more of a comment for you all and appreciate the presentation.
Taylor: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Taylor.
Meridian City Council Work Session
September 9,2025
Page 15 of 19
Taylor: I have a question. There is another entity very active in downtown Meridian,
which is the Meridian Development Corporation. What kind of interaction do you have?
Is there any regular outreach from them to you or from the HPC to them? And kind of
curious if there is an open dialog that exists right now.
Schiffler: Councilman Taylor, there is not any regular interaction, but I know -- I did let
them know when they had the potentially eligible districts, because they were working
on the Destination Downtown plan, so they are interested in what the outcome is, too.
But there is not -- there is not like a working relationship, just maybe just a -- an FYI
here and there.
Whitlock: Mr. Mayor, quick follow-up comment.
Simison: Councilman Taylor.
Taylor: Yeah. I -- it would seem to me that that would be a logical thing to do, because
they are trying to create a vision and plans and activities spurring certain types of
development. It would seem amiss to -- for the -- for you and MDC not to be talking. I
think that's something to -- certainly as a commissioner, myself, to take to them and
advise them to be in open communication. I think that's really important as we are
trying to really have a bigger conversation about what Meridian looks like and I know
that what you are talking about is not just specific to downtown Meridian, but a lot of the
work is -- a lot of the opportunity is there. So, I do recommend that. And, then, just kind
of my comments. I'm -- I think I'm aligned with what was just said with where is the
balance. I'm not looking to create, you know, a beast to feed as it were in terms of
funding and things like that, but I am really interested in seeing what the -- what options
are available and what makes a lot of sense. I would like to continue the conversation
and sort of come to some proposal -- or I think we will naturally come to what seems like
the right approach with a little bit more information, a little more feedback. So, I -- I'm
open to that, open to like trying to provide some more energy and some kind of
resources to make it happen. But not -- don't love the idea of here is a new staff, here is
some new financial resources, without a clear vision with what to do with it -- how to do
with this. So, I would like to see this conversation kind of continue for a little bit and sort
of see where it goes and where we all decide makes the most sense.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Thank you very much. It's a really interesting topic. I guess I just have maybe
feedback on two things. I think one of the biggest opportunities for your commission
would be to review and provide input on the new Destination Downtown draft plan. I
think we could really benefit from that, because I think it might bring us a lot closer to
the kind of balance that we are looking for. We have large parts of that plan that are
envisioning very tall buildings and they might be kind of out of alignment with some of
the historical properties around. So, I think that to me seems like the biggest
Meridian City Council Work Session
September 9,2025
Page 16 of 19
opportunity and you could have influence on the design guidelines and it just -- it feels
like that's a missing piece in that plan that it felt like the heart of Meridian wasn't quite
being addressed in some ways with our history. So, I think that to me would be a big
opportunity and, then, I do have feelings about just -- I believe that HPC should remain
an advisory body and not a regulatory body. I think you could still be incredibly effective
and I think the silos were like a great example of how we can work together. You know,
if it's a process where you are looped in and you are providing a formal opinion that we
can take into consideration in the development process, like that makes more sense to
me than having kind of an extra step in the development process. I think if it can run
simultaneously and we are getting your input, that that would be best. I am a little bit
leery of kind of getting the balance a little bit off, if it becomes a -- a completely separate
regulatory process or another step I just think that can become really clunky. So, that's
the feedback I have so far on it. You know. Again, design guidelines -- I think -- I think
Destination Downtown is a great first step and, then, on the landmarking I think that
would have to be opt in. I have a hard time seeing how it could be any different than
that. And, then, the overlay districts I think that could be hard. So, I feel like maybe
starting with Destination Downtown as like your first big bite at the apple with your
commission could be a great training ground for getting really engaged in some of the
details.
Little Roberts: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Little Roberts.
Little Roberts: Mr. Mayor. Cassandra, Blaine, great report. Thank you so much. There
is a lot in there and really feeling like the twin silos was a win. I hope you are feeling
that way, too. Probably coming from an ag background I love how important it is to
preserve, but I also know with the ag land that's still available and what little there is still
around is already probably under contract or sold and trying to protect anything that's on
there can hinder that. So, I also want to find that balance like we did with the twin silos,
it didn't work to stay on that property, then, how do we keep them? But potentially look
at some -- some other location for them. And so I think that, you know, there is just a
different -- you know, if we can look at all sides to it, I get kind of a little bit nervous when
we talk about just branding or earmarking something that it will take away our options
and so I would really like us to stay focused on what gives us as a city the most options
and I do love the thought of you working with Destination Downtown. I think that is a
great start and hope that that -- something really great can come from that. So, thank
you.
Overton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: I had to pull out the document that we talked about from Destination
Downtown so I could make the final comment, because what you have heard from
Council is striking a balance. The comments that were put in front of Destination
Meridian City Council Work Session
September 9,2025
Page 17 of 19
Downtown as he made that present -- that presentation, one of the ones was pulling
words right out of their own document that couldn't quite get answered to a level that we
needed. I needed. Overall Old Town priorities respect Meridian's history while
promoting a modern downtown. It's all about balance. But when asked what does that
mean, that's where we get the fuzziness. We don't exactly know where we are at. So, if
-- if there is a goal and what you are talking about and what MDC is talking about, it's to
define that. Tell us what that means. How do we respect Meridian's history? What is
that going to look like? At the same time we are trying to promote a modern downtown.
Simison: One person's blight is another person's history. I mean that's really where our
downtown is in a lot of ways. Trying to find that. So, you have gotten feedback. I think
you are going to need to absorb that feedback and go back and maybe rewatch this a
little bit and talk to the rest of the Commission would be my guess. Is there -- I only
focus a lot on the one. Is there any other feedback that you feel is necessary Council
has on the other items that were presented? Okay. I guess short answer is take that
back, mull over and, then, maybe come back and give an update to Council after HPC
has had a chance to digest the conversation if that works.
Johnston: Okay. Thank you.
Simison: All right. Thank you.
Schiffler: Thank you.
16. Ada County Highway District Draft Five Year Plan: 2026-2030
Simison: With that we will move on to Item 16, which the Ada County Highway District
draft five year plan 2026 through 2030. Mr. Hood.
Hood: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Members of Council. A draft letter was shared with you
late last week. I have got a copy of it here and I'm prepared to take any notes or
feedback. I have not received any to date. We do need to get that over to ACHD as
soon as possible. Not to put any pressure on you, but they have asked for this. I know
the Mayor's had -- had conversations with the director, but got an e-mail yesterday.
would really like to have those by the end of close of business day tomorrow. So, if you
can give me some feedback today, make those changes, get a signature and get that
over to ACHD here in the next 24 hours.
Simison: Tell them they can come pick it up at 6:30 tonight. Sorry. Council, any
additional comments, feedback on the letter or on the list at this point?
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.

Strader: Just -- the only thing I saw was I thought -- because we have been asking
them to do that analysis of Locust Grove versus Meridian Road, but it feels like they
weren't going to do it and maybe we would just do it ourselves as kind of I thought the
direction we were heading. So, I think you can take that out personally and we can just
work on it internally. That might make things a little bit less complex for the letter.
Simison: I think that would be a great joint meeting topic with them, specifically if --
since they are -- don't seem to be doing that to have a discussion about it.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: I'm fine with the letter. I recognize what we are trying to achieve. I would
maybe prefer a little bit more of a direct tone in it, but recognize the need to be more
holistic and more diplomatic, but -- I don't know. Maybe we also send a copy of it to our
Meridian representatives, so they can be in the loop as the transportation priorities that
are occurring in our community as well. Let them know that we are cc'ing them on this.
Simison: I'm happy to make it more direct. I was -- tried to be more encompassing.
The newer, kinder me.
Cavener: I appreciate the efforts, Mr. Mayor, and maybe my -- got a little bit of a
sharper edge today, so --
Simison: Okay.
Cavener: Yield to the diplomacy.
Simison: Anything else? Any other direction? Comments? Councilman Whitlock.
Whitlock: I would agree. Let's include the members of our legislative district, so they
know what's happening at the local level as they make state decisions.
Simison: Okay.
Hood: Mr. Mayor, if I can just clarify that. You want -- we have already got six or seven
people that are copied on this. Do you want me to actually list them there or just make
sure they get a copy of it?
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Meridian City Council Work Session

Cavener: I would want the highway district to know that we also engaged legislative
members, so no -- no need to pull the wool over their eyes. We are trying to be direct
with everybody.
Simison: Okay. Well, with that feedback I think we can get the letter updated and
signed tomorrow and out the door.
Hood: Thank you. Or tonight if you want to, so -- okay.

MEMO TO CITY COUNCIL
Request to Include Topic on the City Council Agenda
From: Cassandra Schiffler,Arts & Culture Meeting Date: September 9, 2025
Coordinator
Presenter: Cassandra Schiffler Estimated Time: 20 minutes
Topic: Historic Preservation Plan Goals, Objectives, and Strategies Alignment
Recommended Council Action:
Provide direction on the proposed goals, objectives, and strategies for the drafted Historic
Preservation Plan, specifically regarding the potential for changes to the city's development
processes regarding historic preservation and the role of the Historic Preservation Commission.
Background:
The Meridian Historic Preservation Commission received a grant from SHPO (State Historic
Preservation Office) to update the 2014 Meridian Historic Preservation Plan.We hired a
consultant to conduct a review of current conditions, perform public outreach, draft new goals,
objectives, and strategies, and complete a new plan. For more information on the plan, including
the public survey results,visit: https://meridian-historic-preservation-plan-
gatewaymapping.hub.arcgis.com//
Many of the drafted goals and strategies align with the City's current Comprehensive Plan and
existing historic preservation programs. However, a significant number of the historic
preservation goals relate to the development process,which would impact city code, design
guidelines, developer applications, and demolition permits. Implementing these goals would shift
the Historic Preservation Commission's role from a primarily educational and celebratory one to a
more formal, active part of the development review process.
Request for Council Direction:
Staff seeks direction on three key areas related to the updated Historic Preservation Plan:
1. Is the Council interested in pursuing historic preservation tools such as design guidelines, a
historic landmarking program, or conservation overlay historic districts?
2. Is the Council supportive of updating the role of the Historic Preservation Commission to
be a more formal part of the development process?
3. If so, is the Council prepared to allocate city resources for the creation of historic building
design guidelines and the exploration of necessary zoning mechanisms for historic
preservation?
