Dear Meridian City Clerk’s Office, Please accept the attached letter for inclusion in the public record for the Planning and Zoning Public Hearing for Meridian LUXE (H-2025-0035). As I will be out of state during the hearing, I respectfully request that my letter be read into the record during the meeting. It represents my formal opposition to the rezoning and development proposal for 2350 W. McMillan Road. Thank you for your assistance and for ensuring that community feedback is preserved as part of this process. Please confirm receipt of this email and the attached document at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, Scott Meeks 2393 W.

Broadway Ave. Meridian, ID 83642 Subject: Opposition to Planning and Zoning Application for Meridian LUXE (H-2025-0035) Dear Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission, My name is Scott Meeks, and I live at 2393 W. Apgar Creek Drive, adjacent to the proposed commercial portion of the property at 2350 W. McMillan Road. I cannot attend the hearing in person, so I ask that this letter be read into the record. I am opposed to the Planning and Zoning application for Meridian LUXE (H-2025-0035), which seeks rezoning of the property from L-O (Limited Office) to C-C (Community Business District) with a plan for storage condos and 18 multi-tenant commercial units. The limited on-site parking will likely result in overflow parking on W. Apgar Creek Drive, directly in front of my home. It also seems that extending N. Lolo Pass Way, currently a dead-end street, will invite cut-through traffic whenever congestion on McMillan backs up past N. Goddard Creek Way—something that occurs frequently. In my view, McMillan Road should be improved to four lanes before any connection of N. Lolo Pass Way is made, as these roadway improvements are necessary to service any use beyond light residential development. I understand the Planning Office has proposed restrictions on business types within the commercial condos, but I'm concerned about how those restrictions would be enforced. I don't want to have to go to the City each time a property owner blatantly violates a use restriction, which appears to be the only enforcement mechanism available. This project would add traffic, noise, and congestion to what is now a quiet residential area. I do not support rezoning for this use. However, if the rezoning to C-C is approved, I would insist on at least a 10-foot sound wall, as the one-story homes along W. Apgar Creek Drive have windows extending about ten feet above ground level. A wall of that height is necessary to provide an effective sound and visual buffer between the development and our neighborhood. Thank you for including my comments in the record and for your continued efforts to preserve the livability and safety of Meridian neighborhoods. Respectfully submitted, Scott Meeks 2393 W.
