RE: H-2025-0007: Syringa Crossing Mixed Use Development
CUMULATIVE IMPACTS ON SCHOOLS
The proposed residential development application is located at parcel #S1225449650 and
S1236110060. This section of the memo looks at cumulative impacts over a broad area and
provides entitlement data in areas affected by the subject application. The following
information is intended as a reference, rather than a decisive tool, and serves to forecast the
number of school-aged children, enrolled in both public and private schools, using city-wide
census data. To date and within the last five years, there have been 3,016 entitled units (2,997
single-family and 19 multi-family) approved within a 1-mile radius of the project location
resulting in approximately 1,802 school-aged children. Note: H-2024-005Z Apex Zenith, was
conceptually approved within this area and with an unknown number of multi family units not
included in these totals.

Notes: Total units derived from Meridian enterprise data for annexations, preliminary plats, and relevant
conditional use permits over the last 5-years. This data reflects approved projects only and excludes
pending applications, including the subject application.American Community Survey 5-year data is used
to determine persons per household and enrollment by grades for public and private schools.

EXHIBIT A
WEST ADA SCHOOL DISTRICT - STUDENT GENERATION RATES
West Ada School District (WASD) uses a Student Generation Rate (SGR) to determine what
impact future development will have on enrollments. Using WASD's SGR, the following is City
staff's assessment: The SGR for Mary McPherson Elementary School is 0.49 for single family and
0.16 for multi-family. Based on the submitted application materials,the proposed project will
contain 0 single family units and 322 multi-family units resulting in approximately 52 school-
aged children across all grade levels. Note: for tracking purposes, the total units are for the
south-west corner of Amity and Meridian Roads only, as the north-west corner is not included
in the proposed preliminary plat or conditional use permit (annexation only). The proposed
project is within the following school boundaries, currently, and approval of the project may
affect enrollments at these schools:
School Attendance Areas 24-25' Enrollment Architectural Program
Capacity Capacity
Mary McPherson Elementary School 495 675 550
Victory Middle School 1075 1000 -
Meridian High School 1781 2075 -
Notes:
• Student Generation Rates are calculated in reference to the designated elementary school within the
subject property's associated school attendance area. This information is intended as a reference,
rather than a decisive tool.
• Projects can be built in phases and full impacts not immediate.
• Architectural Capacity—the capacity established at the time a school is designed based on the
number of general education classrooms in the building.'
