Armstrong: There we go. So, I apologize for my casual attire. Our youngest grandson
has a baseball -- Meridian Baseball League game as soon as -- after this, but -- Father,
I just want to thank you for the way you have blessed this community. You blessed us
with good leaders and there is just in reading in Isaiah it talks about how we are like
grass and yet your word endures forever and -- and, Father, that -- just the decisions we
make we intend to do good for our community and do things that are lasting and help
make the community better and I just pray for the Council and Mayor as we make
decisions tonight and discernment and that they would make choices that would
improve this community. It's feeling the strain of growth and there is a tug and pull on

PROCLAMATIONS
1. World NF Awareness Day Proclamation
Simison: Next up will be a proclamation for World NFF -- NF Awareness Day.
Shannon, if you and anybody else would like to join us at the podium. So, as was
mentioned we are here to do a proclamation for NF Day. We will go ahead and read the
proclamation and, then, Shannon, I will turn it over to you for any comments, so --
whereas neurofibromatosis, NF, causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body,
which can affect the development of the brain, cardiovascular system, bones and skin
and affects all populations equally regardless of race, ethnicity or gender and whereas
the Children's Tumor Foundation unites patients, families, researchers and industry
leaders to break down barriers, strengthen the NF community, accelerate the
development of new treatments and whereas patient and family support is provided by
the Children's Tumor Foundation through its informed resources, youth programs and
local chapter activities and whereas much remains to be done in raising public
awareness of NF to help promote early diagnosis, proper management and treatment,
prevention of complications and support of research and whereas the Children's Tumor
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026
Page 3 of 26
Foundation is declaring May 17th, 2026, as World Neurofibromatosis, NF, Awareness
Day to educate the public about this rare genetic disorder. Therefore, I'm, Mayor,
Robert E. Simison, hereby proclaim May 17th, 2026, as World NF Awareness Day in the
City of Meridian encourage all citizens and committee members to become informed
and involved in the fight, so we can imagine a world without NF. Dated this 12th day of
May 2026. So, on behalf of the City of Meridian I want to present this proclamation to
you and, Shannon, be happy to turn over the microphone.
McNall: Thank you so much. Hi, everyone. Carson, come up. So, this is our fourth
time coming here. The first time that we came here Carson was six years old and his
sister was four and back then -- NF is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow
anywhere on the nervous system and it affects now -- it used to be one in 3,000. Now
they know it's one in 2,000 births in America and we have been fighting it as a family.
That's the other two right there. Literally ever -- our entire lives and a lot has changed.
When we first came here there was no cure and, then, I think the second time we came
here they had had their first effective treatment and now they have three effective
treatments. They are all for different types of tumors, but the foundation itself is
growing. But what I really want to say is that these proclamations mean the world.
When you have a disorder that -- I mean I don't think anybody could spell
neurofibromatosis, let alone say it. It -- bringing out awareness to it is so important and
for Carson being able to have that awareness and get the therapies and the treatments
that he has needed -- he has gone through a lot, but I will say he is in -- for those who
have seen him on the Council he is now in his first year at Boise State. He just pulled a
4.0 and he is thriving because of the awareness that's brought. So, we just want to say
thank you to the City of Meridian.

MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES.
4. Public Hearing (Continued from March 10, 2026) for Shafer View
Ridge Subdivision (H-2025-0047) by Gregg Davis, Breckon Land
Design, located at Lot 18 of the Shafer View Estates Subdivision at
the intersection of S. Meridian Rd. and E. Shafer View Dr.
A. Request: Annexation of 15.2 acres of land from RUT in Ada County
to the R-4 zoning district.
B. Request: Preliminary Plat consisting of 38 lots (29 building lots and
9 common lots) on 13.437 acres of land.
Simison: Okay. With that we will move on to Item 4, which is a public hearing continued
from March 10th, 2026, for Shafer View Ridge Subdivision, H-2025-0047. We will
continue this public hearing with comments from staff.
Ritter: Good evening, Mayor and Council. So, at the -- our last hearing staff was -- and
the applicant was asked to meet with the regulatory agencies. So, staff and the
applicant met with ITD and ACHD and also talked with the school district. During that
meeting we talked about the potential closure for Shafer View Drive. At that time all
parties agreed that we would have no issue with that -- with Shafer View Drive being
closed, with the understanding that ITD is the regulatory agency for State Highway
Meridian Road, which is a state highway, so they had no objection. ACHD had no
objection even though -- they are not in charge of that, but they had no objection to the
proposal. They did require that the applicant put a cul-de-sac at the end of Meridian
Road and it could be used for emergency access only and, then, the school district --
oops. Apologies. So, this is kind of their proposal, which the applicant will be
addressing and the school district had no issue, because this is the location off Quartz
Drive of the school bus stop. We were kind of wondering where that -- where that
actual stop was. That is the location. So, the applicant -- after our meeting the
applicant did meet with the neighbors and based on the applicant's response to the city
is that the neighbors were in approval of closing this road, too, so -- but the applicant
will give you more information on that. So, I don't want to steal his thunder. So, just
wanted to kind of make you aware of where we were when we last met and what you
requested and, then, what the city and the applicant did to meet your request. So,
unless you have other questions for me I will let the applicant kind of give you the
information on his meeting with the neighbors and his design.
Simison: Thank you, Linda. Council, any questions for staff? Okay. Would the
applicant like to come forward.
Breckon; Jon Breckon. 6661 North Glenwood Street, Garden City. I -- I brought some
of the drawings that we had at the neighborhood meeting and -- and, then, I have some
overview for -- for reference. Let's see here. But at the neighborhood meeting we -- we
discussed, you know, the option to -- to close off and provide the cul-de-sac with the
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026
Page 6 of 26
neighbors -- neighbors. We also showed them an overview plan. This was something I
brought to the neighborhood meeting as well, just talked about overall circulation and
how that would function into the future with that closure and open -- ultimately, after
answering all their questions, they were in favor of this option to close and provide the
cul-de-sac, which was acceptable to ACHD and -- and ITD. But I -- I -- I have -- I don't
really have a whole lot more to present on this. It was -- we had a lot of discussion,
answered all their questions, it was -- it was a very productive meeting I felt like with the
neighbors. But I -- I brought some drawings and additional information here to answer
any questions that Council might have.
Simison: Okay. Thank you. Council, any questions for the applicant?
Overton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: Either for the applicant or for staff. So, I heard the early description that this
will be a turnaround. It will not be -- but it will have emergency access. Do we have any
type of rendering on what that's supposed to look like? Is that going to be bollard style?
Gate style? What are we -- what are we talking about?
Breckon: Mr. Mayor, Councilman Overton, so my understanding would this be like a
steel gate -- a steel vehicle -- vehicle gate with -- I don't know, I haven't talked to fire as
to what kind of locking mechanism they would like, but probably like a Knox Box or
something like that and, then, it would go just -- well, off of that -- off of that approach,
so that the gate would be away from the highway, so that a fire truck could pull off, they
could get out, unlock the gate, and access in -- in that event.
Overton: Thank you.
Simison: Council, any additional questions? All right. Thank you very much. Mr. Clerk,
anyone signed up to provide testimony on this item?
Johnson: Mr. Mayor, yes. Dave Morgan. Mr. Morgan's representing an HOA.
Simison: Good evening. State your name and address for the record.
Morgan: Good evening. Dave Morgan. 498 East Shafer View Drive, Meridian, Idaho.
I'm also the HOA president for Shafer View Estates. So, just kind of basically want to
step up here and just see what they had. I wasn't able to attend that last meeting, but I
did get an update on everything from that and it looks like all the changes -- kind of
things that we had asked for, things that we are going to do and weren't -- we are taking
care of. So, from what I can see that looks like a fairly acceptable proposal as far as
that goes for the subdivision. So, I didn't know if there were any -- we had quite a few
questions for me last time, so I don't know if there were any more additional this time.
No? Okay.
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026
Page 7 of 26
Simison: Council, any questions? No. Thank you very much.
Morgan: Thank you.
Johnson: Mr. Mayor, that was everyone.
Simison: Okay. Is there anybody else who would like to provide testimony on this item,
either in the room or online? If you are online use the raise your hand function. Seeing
no one raising their hand or coming forward, would the applicant like to make any final
comments or the applicant waive? Applicant waives. Okay.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: I -- I did have a -- a question, though, then, for the applicant.
Simison: Okay.
Cavener: I know he waived, but I did have a -- Mr. Breckon, appreciate you being here
and getting -- working with our staff and ITD and ACHD. Government times government
times government is never easy, so I appreciate that. When you were here last month
we talked a little bit about kind of just my concern around sidewalk, curb, gutter on that
other side. I -- I didn't know if you had any updates for me on kind of any progress on
that. Is it still intended that we are not going to -- we are only going to do it on one side?
Breckon: Mr. Mayor, Councilman Cavener, topic did come up at the neighborhood
meeting and the neighbors would much prefer to not have that sidewalk in there. So, I
-- you know, I guess --
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Mr. Breckon, I'm going to let you off. I -- I understand you -- you find yourself
between a rock and a hard place and that the neighbors that you are trying to work are
saying we don't want it and a decision maker saying, boy, we really think that we need
to have it. We have got another application later on tonight that deals with something
similar. It's on private roads, so it's a little bit different and I'm -- I'm trying to be really --
really consistent in kind of my decision making. I think when I was -- last month I said,
boy, I don't -- I don't think I can be supportive of this if it doesn't have it. I'm -- I'm
certainly going to be contemplative. I appreciate you engaging with the neighborhood
one more time on that. It's -- it's hard to force what I think is an important amenity onto
somebody who -- who doesn't see the value in it, so -- Mr. Mayor, thanks. I appreciate
it.
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026
Page 8 of 26
Simison: Okay. Thank you.
Breckon: Thank you.
Simison: Would you like to come back -- yeah, since there was a question and directed
-- yeah.
Morgan: We don't have a problem with it, so -- to kind of answer your question, since I
do represent the entire sub, no, we don't want that. You are tearing up a lot of people's
yards, landscaping going into that. You are just having on one side of the street. It's not
meant to walk through our subdivision. It's meant to walk through their subdivision. So,
I would suggest that. And also we are county at that point, too. We are not -- that's not
city property at that point, so up to that I think where I described before, if you saw on
the map, just past that cul-de-sac -- actually right where that road -- first road comes
out, sidewalk ends, you have a little sidewalk -- or, excuse me, a crosswalk right there,
then, that goes -- so you can walk clear around Shafer View Terrace, back in through
Pinnacle, all in through that direction. So, just to let you know as far as the sidewalk
goes that's 15 in -- not in favor of, so -- all right. Appreciate it. Thanks.
Simison: Thank you. Well, with that does the applicant have any final comments or
would they like to waive again? Applicant waives again.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Nobody else looking to make comment, I move that we are going to close the
public hearing on Item No. 4, application H-2025-0047.
Overton: Second.
Simison: Have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. Is there any
discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it
and the public hearing is closed.
MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Quick appreciation to staff being -- doing that proactive engagement with the
highway district and the state. Be easy to say applicant go figure it out. But I think you
really served as a liaison, represented the Meridian Way and I just want to commend
you on that. Also appreciate the applicant working proactive in it. So, broken clock is
always right twice a day, so I'm going to move that we approve Item No. 4, application
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026
Page 9 of 26
H-2025-0047, as presented in the staff report of May 12th, 2026, and include all staff,
applicant and public testimony.
Overton: Second.
Simison: Have a motion and a second to approve Item 4, H-2025-0047. Is there
discussion on the motion?
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: I just wanted to make sure that that's inclusive of the closure of Shafer within
the -- if the staff comments had already been updated to include that or if that needs to
be part of the motion.
Ritter: That will need to be part of your motion.
Cavener: Okay. Mr. Mayor, I --
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: I -- I -- I took it because it was presented this afternoon with the memo that it
would be inclusive of that, but thank you, Council Member Strader, for the clarification
and, staff, for providing that clarification to be inclusive of the -- the road closure.
Simison: Second concur?
Overton: Second agrees.
Simison: Okay. Is there any further discussion on the motion?
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Just a comment. I normally am not a fan of any kind of roadway in Meridian,
even if it's in the county, not having sidewalks and all of the things that we normally
expect. In this one instance I think an exception is warranted, because of the road
closure. That gave me some comfort that we are not going to see the same kind of
traffic level that we would normally see, but I just wanted to provide that rationale for
people listening, so they understand that I would not look favorably upon a similar
situation in the future most likely.
Simison: Okay. Any further comments on this item? If not clerk call the roll.

the remaining development and the existing development agreement must be modified
to exclude the subject parcel and the new development agreement must be established

for proposed standalone subdivision. So, again, the applicant is proposing to remove
this portion from the PUD and so the -- the PUD itself it approved -- the approval also
included deviations from the dimensional standards of the R-15 zoning district to
accommodate a variety of housing types and the overall developments. So, all of the R-
4 -- R-8 lots were required to comply with the required dimensional standards. This
portion of the property that the applicant is proposing to rezone to R-15 and the
development of the single family detached homes, similar to the previous approval. So,
the rezone allows the applicant to increase the number of lots from 30 to 38. Like the
previous approval, no deviations to the dimensional standards are requested or being
asked to be approved at this time. Staff has concluded that the portion of the PUD will
still provide a mix of housing types as required. Therefore, staff is supportive of the
applicant increasing the density and providing all single family detached homes within
the proposed development. The original PUD also established specific requirements for
amenities and open space to serve the overall development. Based on staff's review
the majority of the proven amenities and open space are located and the remaining
property that will continue to be governed by the PUD. By removing the subject
property from the PUD boundary the applicant is required to independently meet the
current open space and amenity requirements. So, based on that -- that analysis staff
is supportive of being -- of the property being excluded from the boundary of the PUD.
So, although it's not required, the applicant tends to have both developments, Skybreak
and Skybreak Rim, share the amenities and open space. This is the preliminary plat
and their landscape plan. This is their open space requirement. So, based on the -- the
UDC a minimum of 15 percent for the R-15 zoning district a qualified open space is
required to be provided within development. An open space -- this -- this open space
exhibit shows that 49.1 percent or 4.7 acres of open space and they meet the -- they
actually exceed the requirements for qualified open space standards and they only need
one amenity point, which they are providing a picnic seating area and a shade structure
and they are doing enhanced landscaping. So, the -- their open space area for the
picnic area is 5,000 square feet inside, so it qualifies for a maximum of too many
amenity appoints, so they exceed that also. And this is like their proposed amenity.
Simison: Linda, can you get closer to the mic?
Ritter: Oh. Sorry. So, this shows their pedestrian connectivity. So, this -- on the right-
hand side this is what was proposed with the previous approval for -- for Pura Vida. So,
this is what is actually being proposed for the new subdivision. They will continue this
pathway. It's like a natural pathway. So, it won't be paved. It's a steeped area and,
then, the private road will connect to an existing private road that connects to the private
road and, then, goes out to this pathway that will continue on to connect to existing
pathways in this area. So, this is the emergency access. This is a common drive,
which will connect to another common drive that gets out to the private road. So, that
has been approved by the fire marshal. These are the amenities that exist within
Skybreak that will be shared with Skybreak Rim. These are the building elevations that
were submitted for Skybreak Rim. So, we are going to talk about some issues and
waivers that came about as we were reviewing this. So, common drives. So, based on
our code common drives are not allowed off of a private street, unless at least one side
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026
Page 12 of 26
of the street or the development has designed -- has designated adequate guest
parking dispersed throughout as determined by the director. The applicant is providing
parking on one side of the street as required. However, Council needs to determine if
adequate parking has been provided. The applicant is required to comply with the
private street requirements outlined in the UDC. To serve 30 -- the 38 lot development
the applicant is proposing the private street. In doing so they are proposing to utilize the
existing private street network within Skybreak development. While the proposed
subdivision does not include additional gates, the development will connect and rely on
the existing private streets and gated entrance that currently serves Skybreak
Community. UDC 11-3F-4B.4 states proposed gate developments shall serve no more
than one hundred dwelling units. The applicant is proposing to construct private streets
that tie into the existing private street network approved with the Skybreak project. A
gate is -- again a gate is not being proposed with this development, which means 38
additional homes will be used and the two existing gates approved with the Skybreak
Subdivision. So with this, again, we are asking you to consider if the additional homes
being served by the private streets is adequate, because with this -- the previously
approved Skybreak development was approved with 106 homes served by that private
street with the two gated accesses. So, this will add an additional 38 homes to that.
So, the code and the fact at the time when the gated entry was approved it was for
every 50 dwelling units. So, given that the previously approved development already
exceeds the one hundred unit threshold and the applicant's proposing to add an
additional 38 homes to the existing private street network, so we are -- we are just
asking you to look at this and consider whether expanding the number of homes served
by this private street system remains appropriate and consistent with the intent of the
Meridian City Code. This is the parking space that they are providing along the street
and this is their design for the private street, so they will have the sidewalk on the -- the
right-hand side of the private street and not on -- nothing on the left-hand side. Again,
our code states that private streets serving dwellings -- a five foot wide attached
sidewalk or four foot wide detached sidewalk shall be provided on both sides of the
private street. This requirement may be waived or modified by decision making body if
the applicant can demonstrate that an alternative similar pedestrian path exists that,
again, the applicant is requesting a Council waiver to construct a five foot sidewalk on
one side of the street as previously approved with the Skybreak project. With this
subdivision the applicant will be required to modify some -- Skybreak No. 1 Subdivision.
They will be removing a lot to add this private road. So, that modification will need to
take place before they submit for their final plan if approved. So, the Commission
recommended approval with conditions. They had no changes to staff's
recommendation -- like they had no issues with what the applicant is proposing. We --
some of the key issues that were talked about at the hearing were the shared amenities,
the additional lots utilizing the existing private streets and gates, smaller lots and
smaller side yard setbacks, on-street parking and consistency with the Pura Vida Ranch
development. We did have several people commenting at the public hearing. We had
two people -- two written comments. We have not received any comments since the
Commission public hearing. The outstanding things for Council is the Commission
supported the applicant's waiver signed that there was adequate on-street parking,
sidewalk connectivity and allowing additional homes to use the existing gated private
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026
Page 13 of 26
streets that were approved and constructed with the Skybreak Subdivision. So, those
are the waivers that we are asking Council to carefully consider and at this time with
that we -- I will stand for any questions that you may have.
Simison: Thank you, Linda. Council, any questions for staff?
Overton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: Just a couple of quick ones. So, this section -- this -- what we are talking
about tonight was part of the PUD.
Ritter: Correct.
Overton: So, that was all one development, but it was 30 lots.
Ritter: Correct.
Overton: And at that time it was sharing all the amenities, because it was one PUD.
Ritter: Correct. It was sharing the amenities with this -- if you can see my mouse here.
So, this is part of this development over here. So, it was sharing the amenities with this
and, then, there is a portion that goes down, crosses the canal there.
Overton: All right. Thank you.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Ritter: Bill will elaborate on that.
Parsons: Mayor and Council, I'm -- I'm happy to. I think -- I don't -- Linda wasn't around
when this came through. So, I'm -- I'm tag teaming this one with her. But, essentially,
you are correct, it was -- it came through as one development. But if you have ever
been out to this site you can definitely see that this project is quite a bit higher than the
-- the -- the remainder project. So, when it was approved a lot of the deviations through
the PUD process happened on the lower half of the property where they are building the
townhomes and the attached product down below the ridge and so when the applicant
came through with the PUD for the 30 lots, it was -- there was no vehicular connection.
It was only a pedestrian connection. So, although it came in as one part, it is somewhat
disjointed from Pura Vida, just because of the nature of the slope and the topography in
the area and that's why you -- you saw it connect into Skybreak originally back when
Sky -- they happened about the same time. Skybreak was annexed in about the same
time as Pura Vida and so they worked with this applicant to make sure that they were
tying in with their utilities and their street network and just to be clear on the record that
this 30 lot sub portion did not request any deviations from the dimensional standards,
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026
Page 14 of 26
because, again, it was intended that it would be single family and potentially blend in
more with this portion of the development than down below, so -- and that's really what
we are here to talk about tonight is how -- how does this piece fit into the puzzle now
when you don't really have good vehicular connectivity to the area down below and so I
think the count -- the -- the applicant will provide a lot of that information, but it's -- just
kind of give you that back story. This was always kind of -- we will do R-8, because it's
medium density. We really think access is an issue for the fire department. We can't do
more than 30 homes on this without having a secondary access. So, that's where the --
the 30 came in and R-8 along the perimeter seemed to blend in with what was the
existing development to the south of this one.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Bill or Linda, kind of along Council President Overton's comment, I'm living in
the subject area. How do I get to the amenities? Can you just -- can you walk me
through my -- my paths to get there?
Parsons: Mayor, Members of the Council, third time is a charm. So, as Linda
mentioned there will be some common driveways that connect on the -- the west
boundary and, then, that private street will have to be extended. So, they do have
another portion of that subdivision that hasn't been platted yet, so you will be able to
walk down the public streets to get to some of those amenities. If you recall when
Skybreak was approved originally staff was focused on having a central location -- a
central amenity for the development and at that time Council -- when you guys acted on
the application you guys were fine with these nodes of open space being broken up --
dispersed throughout the development, because you thought that provided a good
additional -- this is a large development, so it made sense to have it dispersed
throughout the development. So, that's why I was just as critical that when we reviewed
this one that this site was a standalone, had their own amenities, own open space, so
that if residents didn't -- or wanted to at least stay here in their gated portion they could
still have a way to enjoy that amenity and recreation. But there is plenty of connectivity
that will come through this, it's just hard to see it at this scale, but I'm sure the applicant
can probably elaborate more on that for you. But they will have access to the pool and
the clubhouse. It's, I don't know, a couple hundred feet away.
Cavener: Okay. Okay. Mr. Mayor, maybe a couple just quick for staff.
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Bill -- Bill or Linda, I want to talk about the -- the hundred units for a -- for a
gate. Like what -- talk to me the -- the basis why -- why a hundred? Why not two
hundred? Why not fifty? What happens at a hundred that would cause staff or Council
that we should be concerned? Like we -- we granted an exception, passed a hundred
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026
Page 15 of 26
to I think 106 or 108, but what -- what has accelerated to make things dramatically
worse at the amount that the applicant is proposing?
Parsons: Yeah. Mayor, Council, I think -- I think you are aware we recently changed
code. Based the direction of the UDC focus group you guys recently passed that, but
the reason why we capped it at a hundred originally was we wanted -- we want to
promote public streets, not private streets because of the cost and expense. We want
neighborhood connectivity. So, the more you add homes behind that the more impact
you could have over time to that road network. So, that was the rationale that the code
always said a limited gated community. So, what does limited mean? So, a hundred
seemed to be the right number. There -- there is no magical --
Cavener: Okay.
Parsons: -- but originally when we had it it was 50 -- the -- the fire code was no more
than 50 homes behind the -- on a single access. So, that's why we landed one per 50
and we ended up -- you -- you would have to provide a gate for every 50 homes. Now
with the change what we say is you can have up to a hundred homes unless you go
through a PUD process. So, that's what we did with Apex Cadence. They went through
that PUD process, they did 200 plus homes behind two gates and so that's how we
arrived at that. We have -- we have given the applicant the out. The -- the only oddity
with this is when you are trying to take an existing private street and roll more into it,
because it doesn't make sense to do a PUD on this little piece of -- of a pie. So, that's
why we try to make the case to you that they are not adding a gate, they are just using
existing gates and so that gives you the ability to say you are still meeting the intent or
not, was how we try to at least portray that in the staff report, that you could still get
there under -- because they are not actually providing a gate. So, that's the rationale
we wanted to provide. And, then, of course, as Linda mentioned this came up before
you in 2021 when you took action on this application and you guys were comfortable
with more than a hundred homes behind the two gates.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor, just my final question.
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: The -- the private drive that runs along -- was it Lot 17, 18 and 19? What's
the -- what's the length on that? Do we know?
Parsons: Mayor, Members of the Council, if I had to guess probably about -- the lots
are about 40 feet wide. So, about 120. But you add the other one into it, so the total
length of the two common driveways will be definitely be over a couple -- couple
hundred feet. But there will be a -- a gate between the -- separating the two common
driveways from -- from each phase.
Cavener: Thank you.
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026
Page 16 of 26
Taylor: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Taylor.
Taylor: Just a quick question, Bill. Going back to the gates and PUDs. Tonight we
would -- we would be considering waiving that requirement, as opposed to allowing
more than a hundred with the PUD, because as I was kind of looking at it we -- we -- the
PUD granted them some excess homes. More than a hundred. We did it in -- was it
Apex Cadence or one of the other -- it was a couple hundred homes through a PUD.
This is not a PUD tonight. So, we -- if we are going to allow it we are allowing it via a
waiver? Am I understanding that correctly? The city would be waiving that
requirement?
Parsons: Mayor, Members of the Council, it's not necessarily a waiver. It's just -- you
are making the finding they are still meeting in the intent of the private streets, because
the fact that they are not really providing another gate.
Taylor: Yeah. Mr. Mayor? And I -- just real quick. I was -- wasn't sure if what we were
doing tonight was anything unusual or if it was --
Parsons: Yeah. It shouldn't be anything out of the ordinary or unusual. Again, it's -- it's
consistent with -- what you will hear from the applicant is -- again, it's -- it's kind of
always been this way coming -- it's always been branded or part of this development.
They are just trying to make it official now.
Simison: Council, any additional questions for staff? Okay. Would the applicant like to
come forward?
Clark: Good evening, everybody. Good to see everyone. Hethe Clark. 251 East Front
Street, representing the applicant. So, this is I think a pretty straightforward application.
Essentially we are trying to take an -- an orphan part of another subdivision and bring it
in with the rest of the family in a way that I think makes a lot of practical sense. So, this
is the location of the project and you can see how it sits between the -- the two existing
projects, Pura Vida and Skybreak. The area itself everybody is familiar with. There has
been a lot of work done in that area, lots of infrastructure that's gone in, but one thing
-- we added here was this kind of red hashed area and -- because I'm going to talk
about that a lot during this evening's presentation and that is the hillside there and it's
pretty steep and it really drives a lot of the conversation about why we are doing what
we are doing here tonight. Another element that I do want to emphasize is -- is the
Comprehensive Plan. So, you can see that there is a dividing line between existing
Skybreak and Pura Vida where you have medium -- medium density residential on the
south for -- for Skybreak and, then, this project is actually in the medium high density
residential, which is the eight to 12 units. So, that, in part, was part of why we are -- we
are looking at this trying to make it match up with the city's Comprehensive Plan, but we
are very much well below the Comprehensive Plan band of eight to 12 units. We are --
we are below six. So, this may help Council Member Overton's questions. You can
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026
Page 17 of 26
kind of get a -- get a feel for the -- the difference here. So, if you -- if you stand on the
side of the hillside there you are looking down at slopes of two to one. That's in part
why we don't have as many pathways as we are shown originally on the Pura Vida plan,
because they are just not possible. You are looking down about 60 feet and it's about
the equivalent of a five to six story building. It's kind of surprising you wouldn't realize
that there is that much, but you can see the Skybreak lots looking down over Boise
Ranch Golf Course there. So, that gives you a feel for, you know, how they -- these two
projects really didn't connect physically. Now, as a -- as an entitlement you can see the
difference here as well. So, the -- the PUD area for Pura Vida is really the stuff that's
down in the bottom of the valley. That's where the attached stuff was, where the
dimensional standards were tweaked and it sits separated from the R-8 area that's up
on top of the hill 60 feet away -- or 60 feet above and that was driven by a lot of things,
but you can see that it has just the single access, right, so they were really capped at
doing the 30 lots there despite the medium high density residential. So, they did the --
the 30 lots at an R-8. Made sense. And, then, they moved forward, so -- but the -- you
know, I think the -- the point in looking at this is that you can see that this is very much
separated. So, if you were a homeowner within -- if this were to stay in Pura Vida and it
was developed that way, if you wanted to take the kids down to go use the park or the --
the neighborhood HOA amenities, you would not -- you would be either jumping in the
car and driving around and down Eagle Road and, then, back up to Lake Hazel and
down to get into the project or you would have been getting on one of those -- a switch
back pathway to get down and travel down the -- the 50, 60 feet. So, you are really not
connected. What you were probably going to have happen is just the unsecured
amenities at Skybreak are probably going to be the ones that these folks were going to
use anyway. So, from there it made sense to try to bring them in together, make them
part of the same neighborhood. So, no longer would those residents be on an island,
they would be part of the HOA whose amenities they are most likely to use. They would
be able to walk to those amenities and -- and have much better access to them. One
other item I wanted to mention, too. You know, the amenities came up a couple of
minutes ago. After the Skybreak approval was completed, this developer ended up
adding more amenities than what were part of the original entitlement. So, in addition to
what was part of the original entitlement we also added a pool and two more pickleball
courts and so you can see these are actual pictures from the -- from the project. We
feel very confident and very comfortable that the additional 38 lots can easily be
accommodated with the amenities that we have in the project. So, with that the -- there
were the three items that staff had mentioned and I will -- I will jump through those real
quick and, then, answer questions. The first one is parking. You guys are pretty familiar
with this drawing. This is the one we use on all of them. But you can see that we do
have parking on one side of the street. So, we have the additional, you know,
conservatively 18 on-street parking spot. So, we think parking is -- is adequately
handled. With regard to the gates -- and this is probably the one I would spend the
most time with. So, as -- as mentioned with Skybreak, the original application, there
was the 106 lots that were approved behind the gate. So, you can see those on this
drawing. They are all shaded blue. So, they are all on the east side. That gated area is
accessed by two gates, not one. So, those gates are the green arrows that you can see
on there and, then, in addition there will be the two emergency accesses. So, very
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026
Page 18 of 26
porous. Oops. Excuse me. Very -- you know, a lot of ability to get in and out. Should
not be a congestion issue. I -- I want to also mention one thing about kind of the
thought process here. So, the gated area includes the rim lots. It also is R-15 product.
So, the stuff that's on the west is primarily R-8 product. Stuff that's on the east is R-15.
So, part of our thought process in including the Skybreak Rim area within the gated
areas is that it's like for like. So, those are -- those are also rim lots. They are R-15,
because we are trying to get it to the medium high density residential designation, so --
and -- and to be frank, if we had owned Skybreak Rim at the time of the application
those -- those lots would have been behind the gate at that time as well, so -- so -- and
as Bill mentioned, no new gates are proposed. We are asking to add the rim lots to the
existing gated area and, you know, we -- we feel very confident that the -- those
roadway networks are porous enough and they can certainly handle it. Then last
sidewalks. The sidewalks are -- that we are requesting are -- would be -- the layout with
the sidewalk on one side of the private streets, that's consistent with what was approved
with Skybreak and so we would like to continue that. That's been something that the
residents have liked quite a bit. It kind of provides for a more kind of intimate street
setting over there and if we have it -- continue that, then, we don't have a sidewalk that
connects to nothing; right? Because you already have the one -- the one sidewalk set
up on -- in the existing areas of Skybreak. You can also see the pathways here. So,
you can see that we would maintain that foothills trail in the location on the north. That's
the one that we do think is feasible. So, that would provide some pedestrian connection
that way and, then, we would also have the future one going off to the east, so you can
see in blue. So, I will wrap up. Again, no new entitlements that we are really talking
about here tonight. Instead we are trying to alter two project boundaries to bring
Skybreak Rim into Skybreak itself and to do so consistent with Skybreak's existing
entitlements. We were appreciative of P&Z's comments and their recommendation of
approval. We are in agreement with the staff conditions and happy to answer any other
questions.
Simison: Thank you. Council, any questions for the applicant? Good for now.
Clark: Okay. Thank you.
Simison: Mr. Clerk, do we have anyone signed up to provide testimony?
Johnson: Mr. Mayor, we do not. Okay. Is there anybody present who would like to
provide testimony on this item, either in the room or online? If you are online use the
raise your hand feature. Seeing no one wishing to testify, do you want the applicant to
come back up for final comments? Any other questions that Council has? Okay.
Council Woman Little Roberts.
Little Roberts: Thank you. Thank you, Hethe. Sorry about that.
Clark: No. No problem.
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026

Little Roberts: I was drawing lines thinking all my questions were answered, but just out
of curiosity -- I think it was mentioned that there was 49 percent open space. What if
you include everything? What's the percentage of them then? I'm assuming it's not
going to be 49 percent.
Clark: Sure. The -- and, Council Member Little Roberts, I think you are meaning if we
include that within all of Skybreak --
Little Roberts: Right.
Clark: -- as well. Do we have a number on that? I don't know that we have a number.
But it's -- it is well in excess of the overall open space requirements. I just don't know
exactly where it would be.
Little Roberts: Okay. And my second question is -- I'm curious about the area that's too
steep to include in anything. Is that going to be maintained in any way? Of course this
year with what we are looking at I think fire season, how is it going to be maintained or
left natural?
Clark: Yeah. Council Member Little Roberts, so the -- the -- the hillside area itself --
think that's what you are focusing on?
Little Roberts: Yes.
Clark: It will be a common lot. So, the ultimate long-term maintenance of it would be
the association with the -- with those areas we do try to focus on that issue of trying to
make sure that we are not having combustible materials build up and, then, when we --
if we are touching the hillside at all that we are doing a revegetation plan that makes
sure that we are not using the -- you know, not allowing like a bunch of cheat grass and
that sort of thing to get in there. So, it would be those kind of, you know, responsible
hillside development pieces. But long-term maintenance would be the association.
Little Roberts: Great. Thank you.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Hi, Hethe. It's great to see you. I'm not loving the sidewalk on one side. I'm
sure that's not a surprise to you, because I have been pretty consistent about it, but
refresh my memory as to what other adjacent approvals you have in terms of your
sidewalk set up, because I recall that there were not sidewalks on both side on one of
the neighboring developments. If you just want to walk us through how this kind of
compares to the surrounding developments.
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026
Page 20 of 26
Clark: Council Member Strader, the primary -- so, I mean if we look at Skybreak itself
and -- and -- and I don't know if you are referring to Skybreak itself or if you are asking
about other projects, which I don't know that we -- Jim, do we have any other projects
with sidewalk on one side? Movado? Okay. So, in the -- the -- excuse me. What's
that? Okay. So, I will talk about Skybreak first, but -- so, when I said, for example, that
the -- if the sidewalk would connect to the sidewalk in -- if you had it on the one side and
if you had it on the other it would go into a dead end, if you can see my -- or an area
that doesn't have a sidewalk if you can see my cursor, this is where the sidewalk's being
proposed and it would connect through and, then, match up against sidewalk that's on
that inner block there. The only other places that we have used that type of layout is
also behind gates and on private streets and one example would be Movado.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Strader.
Strader: So -- but just to confirm, so this entire gated area that would be consistent with
having the sidewalk on one side?
Clark: That's correct.
Strader: Okay. Thank you. That's what I thought. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't
remembering incorrectly.
Clark: No. You are correct. So, everything in the blue is the area that has the -- the
sidewalk on the one side.
Strader: Uh-huh. And, then, I had one more question, just -- I had had concerns
previously about the topography of this area and just the drainage and how things are
going. Is there any update on what is the status of the surrounding projects that you
guys control? How are things going? Are you selling? Like where -- where is
everything at?
Clark: Yeah. So, I think -- if I can pull up a neighborhood map. So, the -- I think you
might be referring to these areas over here and up on the front up against Lake Hazel.
Mr. Cafferty owns all of this, so it's not stuff that we are in control of. We have pre-app'd
on a portion of it, so, you know, it is moving forward and we anticipate that coming
before this Council at some point, but we don't have a specific time frame for those yet.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: You know, that's helpful. I -- I think maybe to be more specific, how is it going
with Pura Vida? If -- if you guys control that still how is that going? And, then, how is it
going with Skybreak? Like have you -- I don't live in south Meridian, so I don't drive by it
Meridian City Council
May 12,2026
Page 21 of 26
all the time. So, just like where is it at? Did we build -- did we build a bunch of houses?
Are we selling the houses?
Clark: Okay. Yeah. That's a good point. Jim just reminded me that I live across the
street.
Strader: And Jim -- and Jim knows how -- knows my weird obsession with the
topography here, so there is none of this surprised him, so --
Clark: No. That's great. So, we -- Skybreak itself is probably about 60 percent through.
A lot of the customs are going. Pura Vida is -- is moving somewhat. The rumor is is
that Brighton might be taking that over. So, if that's the case, then, I would expect that it
would be going gangbusters at that point and, then, like I mentioned, the stuff that's up
at the hard corner is also -- is still on -- on the plan and would move forward in the
relatively near future. So, hopefully, that answers all of that, but --
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: I think you answered some of it. So, at least -- I don't need to worry too much
about neighbors concerned about a bait and switch on the PUD, because they really
have not bought most of the homes at this point. My -- my other question was just
about the drainage situation. So, how is that going? Because from -- and this is like a
while ago, so I'm trying to remember back, but I recall that the Pura Vida Subdivision
was like at the bottom of a very big slope, which I think is that same five to six story
differential. So, I was just curious how is that going? When you get a lot of precipitation
there is it fine? I -- I -- and I realize it's not relevant to this direct application, but more of
a curiosity honestly on my part.
Clark: And I'm going to bring the construction manager guy in to talk about that.
Conger: Yeah. Mr. Mayor, Council Member Strader, Jim Conger. 810 East Central
Lane, Meridian. Yep. No, Council Member Strader, the good part about our area of
Skybreak is we are up -- which is really a pit run shelf. So, that drainage is all in the
ground and subsurface.
Strader: Okay.
Conger: None of it is ponds or anything of that nature and none of it have we taken any
advantage of pre-development flows to push water over the edges and we actually have
at our lower area by our -- below our phase one we actually have another future phase,
once Pura Vida does their phase two, that has 18 or 25 lots still at the bottom of it that
will be unaffected by anything up on top.
Strader: Okay.
Meridian City Council

Conger: But -- but, no, the Pura Vida, which we don't control the bottom area, all of that
is along the Ten Mile and -- and does have a little higher groundwater, but -- but up on
our top area it's all subsurface straight -- straight into the ground through ACHD sand
filters and even on our private streets the City of Meridian standards have to match
ACHD standards, which all of that is filtered drain water through that C33 sand and
things of that nature.
Strader: Okay.
Conger: So, absolutely no drainage issues amongst neighbors or to any -- any of our
own -- I mean drainage thank goodness on this one is just fine.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Thank you. That's helpful. I just wanted to close the loop on that, because it
was an issue that stood out to me from before. That was a little while ago, but -- thanks.
Okay.
Clark: Council Member Strader, I made my boys dig multiple large holes to plant plants
for Mother's Day last weekend and we basically had to have pick axes to get into.
There is just a lot of rock, so --
Strader: Not a bad thing.
Clark: Yeah. No. It was good to -- they need to do more manual labor, so --
Strader: Okay. Thank you.
Simison: Council, any additional questions at this time? Well, would the applicant like
to close then?
Clark: I think we are good. If there is any questions we are happy to answer them, but
we appreciate your consideration.
Simison: Applicant waives a closing. Okay. Thank you.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: I think we have had a good discussion. I would move that we close the public
hearing on this item.
Taylor: Second.
Meridian City Council

Page 23 of 26
Simison: Have a motion and a second to close the public hearing on Item H-2026-

eyes have it. The public hearing is closed.
MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Happy to kick off a discussion. I think a little bit of an unusual situation, but
think there are some decent mitigating factors here. It -- it doesn't bother me so much
the sharing of the gated community, if that makes sense. I just think in the context of
the topography and this property it does make a lot more sense for it to sort of be joined
together with Skybreak more, share those amenities. They know -- and I have said
before I hate having sidewalks on one side. I don't agree with that. But we approved it
for you on -- on literally the adjacent development. So, I think we should be consistent
with City Council's past decisions on that. So, with that I'm happy to make a motion.
After considering all staff, applicant and public testimony, I move to approve file number
H-2026-0001 as presented in the staff report for today's hearing date.
Little Roberts: Second.
Simison: Have a motion and a second to approve Item 5. Is there discussion on the
motion? If not, clerk call the roll.

PROGRAM GUIDEBOOK: CITY OF MERIDIAN C-PACE PROGRAM-2
I. Introduction
A. About C-PACE
In 2024, the Idaho Legislature passed the Commercial Property Assessed Capital
Expenditure Act ("C-PACE Act"), creating a new Chapter 38 in Title 67 of the Idaho Code. This
legislation allows local governments to establish C-PACE programs within their respective
jurisdictions. A C-PACE Program permits owners of eligible commercial property to seek and
obtain long-term financing from private Capital Providers for certain Qualified Improvements,
including facilities and equipment to promote energy efficiency, renewable energy, water
conservation, and resiliency for qualifying buildings. Improvements made to reduce lead in
drinking water are also considered Qualified Improvements. In short, C-PACE programs help
developers make buildings more efficient and resilient. Furthermore, a C-PACE Program allows
a local government to impose a voluntary assessment to repay the financing of the improvements,
and to record a lien on the property to ensure repayment. This approach to financing has been used
on thousands of properties in more than 30 states and the District of Columbia.
The City of Meridian has created and administers a C-PACE Program pursuant to the C-
PACE Act. Under this Program, financing is available in four categories: energy efficiency,
renewable energy, water conservation, and resiliency improvements. Improvements that reduce
greenhouse gas emissions would also qualify,provided that the improvements also fall under one
of the aforementioned categories. A C-PACE loan is secured by a first and prior lien on the
property and paid back over time,which lien is junior only to liens for property taxes or ad valorem
taxes. Like other assessments, C-PACE financing is non-accelerating, which means only current
or past due payments can be collected,while future payments are the responsibility of the Property
Owner at the time. The C-PACE repayment obligation transfers automatically to the next owner if
the property is sold. In the event of default, only the payments in arrears are due. This arrangement
spreads the cost of qualifying improvements — such as energy-efficient HVAC equipment,
upgraded insulation,new windows,or solar installations—over the useful life of the improvements.
The City's C-PACE Program exists under Idaho's C-PACE Act and the rules established by this
Program Guidebook.
B. Idaho C-PACE Program Guidebook
The purpose of this C-PACE Program Guidebook is to provide statutorily compliant
guidelines, criteria, and application forms, consistent for local governments across Idaho.

D. Application Process
The Program Administrator will review the Project Application (Form 1) for evidence of
compliance with the C-PACE Act and City of Meridian requirements that are necessary for the
City to approve the Project Application and execute the applicable documents for the proposed C-
PACE transaction.
The process of obtaining financing under the Program starts when a Property Owner
approaches a Capital Provider. The Capital Provider will work with the Property Owner to collect
a number of due diligence items. Once all the items have been received, reviewed, and approved
by the Capital Provider, the parties should settle on the loan terms.
The general flow of the C-PACE application process will be as follows:
1. The Property Owner and the Capital Provider prepare the Project
Application, consisting of the Project Application Checklist and all
supporting documents (described below). Applicants should review the
Project Application Checklist accompanying the Project Application to
ensure the types of information that the City will rely upon to verify
compliance with the C-PACE Act and C-PACE Resolution are present in
the completed Project Application.
2. The Program Administrator will review the Project Application in a timely
manner. If there are an unusually high number of applications, or if review
is delayed because of some force majeure event,the Program Administrator
may notify the applicant that the application review and approval will be
delayed.
a. The City application review process is confined to confirming that
the Project Application is complete, and all attachments conform to
these guidelines. City approval does not constitute endorsement of
any representations that may be made with regard to the operation
and any savings associated with the Qualified Improvements. The
Program Administrator will review the Project Application for proof
of compliance with the requirements of the C-PACE Act and C-
PACE Resolution that are necessary for the City to approve the
Project Application and execute the applicable documents for the
proposed C-PACE transaction.
b. If the Project Application and supporting documents comply with
the Project Application Checklist, the Program Administrator is
authorized to approve the Project Application and communicate
such approval in writing to the applicant. The Project Application
may be conditionally approved if the application is complete but the
attachment regarding lender consent is not yet available.
PROGRAM GUIDEBOOK: CITY OF MERIDIAN C-PACE PROGRAM- 8
Conditional approval will be treated the same as an approval, with
exceptions noted below.
C. Incomplete Project Applications will be returned to the applicant,
and the Program Administrator will notify the applicant about which
items from the Project Application Checklist were not provided or
are insufficient or inaccurate on their face.

H. Financing Requirements and Interest Rates
Under the C-PACE Act, the amount of the assessment plus any existing indebtedness on
the property cannot exceed ninety percent (90%) of the fair market value of the property as
determined by a qualified appraiser. In addition, the amount of the assessment in the case of new
construction cannot exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the fair market value of the property as
completed or as stabilized, and, in the case of a retrofit of existing property, cannot exceed twenty-
five percent (25%) of the fair market value of the property as completed or as stabilized, all as
determined by a qualified appraiser. The determination of fair market value will be established by
a qualified appraisal completed no more than twelve (12)months prior to the time of application.
Interest rates are negotiated in a Financing Agreement between the Property Owner and
the Capital Provider. The City has no role in reviewing, setting, or opining on such interest rates
or other aspects of the Financing Agreement. Market forces — such as competition, the intended
use of the property, and potential risk —will affect the terms negotiated by the Property Owners
and Capital Providers.
I. Billing, Collection, and Enforcement of C-PACE Liens
Billing, collection and enforcement of C-PACE Liens and financing installment payments
will be the responsibility of the Capital Provider. The Capital Provider will enforce the C-PACE
Lien in the same manner as a deed of trust. In accordance with Chapter 15, Title 45, Idaho Code,
delinquent installments of the assessment incur interest and penalties as specified in the financing
agreement between the Property Owner and Capital Provider. In an enforcement action,
assessments not yet due shall not be accelerated or eliminated by foreclosure of the past due
amount of the lien.
J. Program Fee
To make the costs of administering the C-PACE Program cost-neutral,the City will collect
a servicing fee equal to one percent(1%) of the total amount financed by the Property Owner, not
to exceed fifty thousand and no/100 dollars ($50,000.00). This fee is due at the time of
disbursement of funds by the Capital Provider, or any portion thereof. An application fee of five
hundred and no/100 dollars ($500.00) will be paid with submission of the Program Application.
K. Term of an Assessment
The maximum term of an assessment may not exceed the useful life of the Qualified
Improvement or weighted average useful life if more than one Qualified Improvement is included
in the Qualified Project.
PROGRAM GUIDEBOOK: CITY OF MERIDIAN C-PACE PROGRAM- 12
L. Written Consent from Mortgage Holder(s) Required
Before entering into an Assessment Agreement with the City, the Property Owner must
obtain and furnish to the City the written consent to the placement of the assessment and C-PACE
Lien from any holder of a mortgage or a deed of trust on the property.
M. Provisions for Marketing and Participant Education
This Guidebook will be made available to the public on the City's website.It is determined
that there is no need for marketing and additional participant education at this time. It is presumed
that Property Owners and Capital Providers understand the principles and processes associated
with C-PACE financing and will look to the Guidebook for understanding and clarification of the
Program.
N. City Has No Liability or Financial Responsibility
The City,its governing bodies,executives,or employees are not personally liable as a result
of exercising any rights or responsibilities granted under this Program. The City shall not pledge,
offer, or encumber its full faith and credit for any lien amount through a C-PACE program. No
public funds may be used to fund or repay any C-PACE financing obligation between a Capital
Provider and Property Owner.
O. Amendments and Interpretation
This Guidebook is intended to establish the general rules and procedures applicable to the
Program. Amendments must be presented to the City Council for approval.
The Program Administrator is authorized to interpret the rules and procedures set forth in
this Guidebook if it becomes evident that any provision of the Guidebook is reasonably capable of
being understood in more than one sense. In making such interpretation, the Program
Administrator shall consider the intent,purposes, and plain language of the Guidebook, in light of
State law.No provision of the Guidebook should be interpreted so as to render any other provision
superfluous or ineffective.

terminate upon the final payment or prepayment of the Assessment. Following such
termination, the City at the direction of the Capital Provider shall cause to be executed,

by a tax sale based upon the lien or any lien for taxes imposed by the state, a local
government, or junior taxing district against the Property, or any other foreclosure of an
indebtedness on the Property.
C. While any portion of the Assessment remains unpaid, the Property shall not be
subdivided without the Capital Provider's prior written consent. In the event the Property
is subdivided while any portion of the Assessment remains unpaid,the Assessment will be
assigned to each of the newly created parcels on the basis of relative valuation at the time
of the subdivision, unless the Financing Agreement provides that the Assessment should
be allocated in an alternate manner.

A. About C-PACE
In 2024, the Idaho Legislature passed the Commercial Property Assessed Capital
Expenditure Act ("C-PACE Act"), creating a new Chapter 38 in Title 67 of the Idaho Code. This
legislation allows local governments to establish C-PACE programs within their respective
jurisdictions. A C-PACE Program permits owners of eligible commercial property to seek and
obtain long-term financing from private Capital Providers for certain Qualified Improvements,
including facilities and equipment to promote energy efficiency, renewable energy, water
conservation, and resiliency for qualifying buildings. Improvements made to reduce lead in
drinking water are also considered Qualified Improvements. In short, C-PACE programs help
developers make buildings more efficient and resilient. Furthermore, a C-PACE Program allows
a local government to impose a voluntary assessment to repay the financing of the improvements,
and to record a lien on the property to ensure repayment. This approach to financing has been used
on thousands of properties in more than 30 states and the District of Columbia.
The City of Meridian has created and administers a C-PACE Program pursuant to the C-
PACE Act. Under this Program, financing is available in four categories: energy efficiency,
renewable energy, water conservation, and resiliency improvements. Improvements that reduce
greenhouse gas emissions would also qualify, provided that the improvements also fall under one
of the aforementioned categories. A C-PACE loan is secured by a first and prior lien on the
property and paid back over time,which lien is junior only to liens for property taxes or ad valorem
taxes. Like other assessments, C-PACE financing is non-accelerating, which means only current
or past due payments can be collected,while future payments are the responsibility of the Property
Owner at the time. The C-PACE repayment obligation transfers automatically to the next owner if
the property is sold. In the event of default, only the payments in arrears are due. This arrangement
spreads the cost of qualifying improvements — such as energy-efficient HVAC equipment,
upgraded insulation,new windows,or solar installations—over the useful life of the improvements.
The City's C-PACE Program exists under Idaho's C-PACE Act and the rules established by this
Program Guidebook.

D. Application Process
The Program Administrator will review the Project Application (Form 1) for evidence of
compliance with the C-PACE Act and City of Meridian requirements that are necessary for the
City to approve the Project Application and execute the applicable documents for the proposed C-
PACE transaction.
The process of obtaining financing under the Program starts when a Property Owner
approaches a Capital Provider. The Capital Provider will work with the Property Owner to collect
a number of due diligence items. Once all the items have been received, reviewed, and approved
by the Capital Provider, the parties should settle on the loan terms.
The general flow of the C-PACE application process will be as follows:
1. The Property Owner and the Capital Provider prepare the Project
Application, consisting of the Project Application Checklist and all
supporting documents (described below). Applicants should review the
Project Application Checklist accompanying the Project Application to
ensure the types of information that the City will rely upon to verify
compliance with the C-PACE Act and C-PACE Resolution are present in
the completed Project Application.
2. The Program Administrator will review the Project Application in a timely
manner. If there are an unusually high number of applications, or if review
is delayed because of some force majeure event,the Program Administrator
may notify the applicant that the application review and approval will be
delayed.
a. The City application review process is confined to confirming that
the Project Application is complete, and all attachments conform to
these guidelines. City approval does not constitute endorsement of
any representations that may be made with regard to the operation
and any savings associated with the Qualified Improvements. The
Program Administrator will review the Project Application for proof
of compliance with the requirements of the C-PACE Act and C-
PACE Resolution that are necessary for the City to approve the
Project Application and execute the applicable documents for the
proposed C-PACE transaction.
b. If the Project Application and supporting documents comply with
the Project Application Checklist, the Program Administrator is
authorized to approve the Project Application and communicate
such approval in writing to the applicant. The Project Application
may be conditionally approved if the application is complete but the
attachment regarding lender consent is not yet available.
PROGRAM GUIDEBOOK: CITY OF MERIDIAN C-PACE PROGRAM- 8
Conditional approval will be treated the same as an approval, with
exceptions noted below.
C. Incomplete Project Applications will be returned to the applicant,
and the Program Administrator will notify the applicant about which
items from the Project Application Checklist were not provided or
are insufficient or inaccurate on their face.
3. Upon receipt of approval, the Capital Provider will draft the following
"Closing Documents": the Assessment Agreement (Form 2), the Notice of
Assessment Interest and C-PACE Lien (Form 3), and the Assignment of
Notice of Assessment and C-PACE Lien and Assignment of Assessment
Agreement (Form 4). At or before closing, at the request of the applicant,
the designated and authorized official will execute Closing Documents. If
the Project Application received conditional approval, the Closing
Documents executed by the City shall not be released from escrow unless
and until all lender consents have been received and executed in accordance
with the C-PACE Act and C-PACE Resolution.
4. At closing, the City will record the Assessment Agreement, the Notice of
Assessment Interest and C-PACE Lien, and the Assignment of Notice of
Assessment and C-PACE Lien and Assignment of Assessment Agreement
with the Ada County Recorder's Office.
5. Upon confirmation of recordation, the Capital Provider will disburse funds
in accordance with the Financing Agreement.
6. The Property Owner begins making assessment payments per the
Assessment Agreement and in accordance with the Financing Agreement.
7. After project completion, the Property Owner will submit the Certificate of
C-PACE Improvements Completion (Form 5) to the City, which provides
written verification provided by a licensed professional engineer or
engineering firm stating that the qualified project was properly completed
and is operating as intended.

PROGRAM GUIDEBOOK: CITY OF MERIDIAN C-PACE PROGRAM- 11
H. Financing Requirements and Interest Rates
Under the C-PACE Act, the amount of the assessment plus any existing indebtedness on
the property cannot exceed ninety percent (90%) of the fair market value of the property as
determined by a qualified appraiser. In addition, the amount of the assessment in the case of new
construction cannot exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the fair market value of the property as
completed or as stabilized, and, in the case of a retrofit of existing property, cannot exceed twenty-
five percent (25%) of the fair market value of the property as completed or as stabilized, all as
determined by a qualified appraiser. The determination of fair market value will be established by
a qualified appraisal completed no more than twelve (12)months prior to the time of application.
Interest rates are negotiated in a Financing Agreement between the Property Owner and
the Capital Provider. The City has no role in reviewing, setting, or opining on such interest rates
or other aspects of the Financing Agreement. Market forces — such as competition, the intended
use of the property, and potential risk —will affect the terms negotiated by the Property Owners
and Capital Providers.
I. Billing, Collection, and Enforcement of C-PACE Liens
Billing, collection and enforcement of C-PACE Liens and financing installment payments
will be the responsibility of the Capital Provider. The Capital Provider will enforce the C-PACE
Lien in the same manner as a deed of trust. In accordance with Chapter 15, Title 45, Idaho Code,
delinquent installments of the assessment incur interest and penalties as specified in the financing
agreement between the Property Owner and Capital Provider. In an enforcement action,
assessments not yet due shall not be accelerated or eliminated by foreclosure of the past due
amount of the lien.
J. Program Fee
To make the costs of administering the C-PACE Program cost-neutral,the City will collect
a servicing fee equal to one percent(1%) of the total amount financed by the Property Owner, not
to exceed fifty thousand and no/100 dollars ($50,000.00). This fee is due at the time of
disbursement of funds by the Capital Provider, or any portion thereof. An application fee of five
hundred and no/100 dollars ($500.00)will be paid with submission of the Program Application.
K. Term of an Assessment
The maximum term of an assessment may not exceed the useful life of the Qualified
Improvement or weighted average useful life if more than one Qualified Improvement is included
in the Qualified Project.
PROGRAM GUIDEBOOK: CITY OF MERIDIAN C-PACE PROGRAM- 12
L. Written Consent from Mortgage Holder(s) Required
Before entering into an Assessment Agreement with the City, the Property Owner must
obtain and furnish to the City the written consent to the placement of the assessment and C-PACE
Lien from any holder of a mortgage or a deed of trust on the property.
M. Provisions for Marketing and Participant Education
This Guidebook will be made available to the public on the City's website.It is determined
that there is no need for marketing and additional participant education at this time. It is presumed
that Property Owners and Capital Providers understand the principles and processes associated
with C-PACE financing and will look to the Guidebook for understanding and clarification of the
Program.
N. City Has No Liability or Financial Responsibility
The City,its governing bodies,executives,or employees are not personally liable as a result
of exercising any rights or responsibilities granted under this Program. The City shall not pledge,
offer, or encumber its full faith and credit for any lien amount through a C-PACE program. No
public funds may be used to fund or repay any C-PACE financing obligation between a Capital
Provider and Property Owner.
O. Amendments and Interpretation
This Guidebook is intended to establish the general rules and procedures applicable to the
Program. Amendments must be presented to the City Council for approval.
The Program Administrator is authorized to interpret the rules and procedures set forth in
this Guidebook if it becomes evident that any provision of the Guidebook is reasonably capable of
being understood in more than one sense. In making such interpretation, the Program
Administrator shall consider the intent,purposes, and plain language of the Guidebook, in light of

years on the due dates set forth in Exhibits"C"and"D"hereto. The Property Owner agrees
to pay the amount due in installments according to the Assessment schedule, each such
PROGRAM GUIDEBOOK: CITY OF MERIDIAN C-PACE PROGRAM-22
installment to be paid by the Property Owner by its due date in order to avoid delinquencies
and the accrual of interest and related penalties.
d. The Assessment shall be secured by the lien until paid in full. Failure to pay any
installment, like failure to pay any property taxes pertaining to the Property, will result in
penalties and interest accruing on the amounts due on the terms and provisions set forth in
the Financing Agreement. In addition, under those circumstances, the lien may be subject
to foreclosure in the manner of a deed of trust as set forth in Title 45, Chapter 15, Idaho
Code.
e. The Property Owner hereby certifies to the City that:
(1) the Property Owner is the legal owner of the Property;
(2) the Property Owner is current on mortgage and property tax payments
related to the Property;
(3) the Property Owner is not insolvent or in bankruptcy proceedings;
(4) the title of the Property is not in dispute;
(5) the amount of the Assessment plus any other existing indebtedness on
the property does not exceed ninety percent (90%) of the fair market value of the
Property as completed or stabilized, as determined by a qualified appraiser in an
appraisal report completed no more than twelve (12) months prior to the date on
which the application was submitted; and
(6) if the Project constitutes a retrofit of existing property, the amount of
the Assessment does not exceed twenty-five percent(25%) of the fair market value
of the Property as completed or as stabilized,as determined by a qualified appraiser
in an appraisal report completed not more than twelve(12)months prior to the date
on which the application was submitted; and
(7) if the Project constitutes new construction, the amount of the
Assessment does not exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the fair market value of
the Property as completed or as stabilized, as determined by a qualified appraiser
in an appraisal report completed not more than twelve(12)months prior to the date
on which the application was submitted.
Section 4. Collection of Assessment; Assignment of Rights; Private Foreclosure.
a. The Assessment installments shall be collected in the manner specified in the
Program Guidebook.
b. The City hereby irrevocably assigns its right to receive all installments of the
Assessment required to be paid by the Property Owner pursuant to this Agreement,whether
PROGRAM GUIDEBOOK: CITY OF MERIDIAN C-PACE PROGRAM-23
in accordance with the Assessment schedule or upon prepayment of the Assessment in
whole or in part in,and any and all sums collected pursuant to foreclosure and enforcement,
together with all payments of interest due and payable, including penalty interest if
delinquent, to the Capital Provider, its successors or assigns. The parties hereby
acknowledge and agree that in the event an Assessment installment is not received by the
due date as indicated in the Assessment schedule,the Capital Provider may enforce the lien
as provided in the Act, in the same manner as that of a deed of trust, pursuant to Title 45,
Chapter 15, Idaho Code, irrespective of whether real property taxes (or any other taxes,
charges, or assessments) are due and owing at the time.
Section 5. Term; Agreement Runs with the Land.
a. Except as may otherwise be set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall
terminate upon the final payment or prepayment of the Assessment. Following such
termination, the City at the direction of the Capital Provider shall cause to be executed,
delivered, and/or recorded such instruments as are necessary in order to release the lien.
The lien placed pursuant to this Agreement establishes rights and obligations that are for
the benefit of the Property and, therefore, such rights and obligations run with the land.
b. The balance of the lien that has not yet become due is not accelerated or eliminated
by a tax sale based upon the lien or any lien for taxes imposed by the state, a local
government, or junior taxing district against the Property, or any other foreclosure of an
indebtedness on the Property.
C. While any portion of the Assessment remains unpaid, the Property shall not be
subdivided without the Capital Provider's prior written consent. In the event the Property
is subdivided while any portion of the Assessment remains unpaid,the Assessment will be
assigned to each of the newly created parcels on the basis of relative valuation at the time
of the subdivision, unless the Financing Agreement provides that the Assessment should
be allocated in an alternate manner.
d. The Property Owner hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement
constitutes written notice that the Property Owner may be responsible for the payment of
any remaining principal balance of the Assessment upon the refinance or sale of the
Property unless the remaining principal balance is assumed by the acquiring property
owner.
Section 6. Assignment of Assessment Billing, and Collection to Capital Provider. In
accordance with Idaho Code § 67-3808(4):

delinquency related to the Assessment, the Capital Provider shall enforce any delinquent
PROGRAM GUIDEBOOK: CITY OF MERIDIAN C-PACE PROGRAM-24
Assessment installment as provided in the Act, in the same manner as a deed of trust,
provided that any sale proceeds in excess of the amount of the overdue Assessment
installment and related penalties and interest will be distributed by the Capital Provider in
accordance with applicable law governing distribution of proceeds following the
foreclosure of a deed of trust.
Section 7. Recordation of Documents. The City shall cause to be recorded, or will
delegate to the Capital Provider to record, in the Ada County Recorder's Office, the Notice of
Assessment,which includes this Agreement as an attachment,the Notice of Assignment, and such
other documents that are attached as Exhibits to this Agreement.
Section 8. Amendment.

Property Owner, or any successor or assign of the parties.
b. The Property Owner agrees, from time to time, to execute, acknowledge and
deliver,or cause to be executed,acknowledged and delivered, such supplements hereto and
such further instruments as may reasonably be required in order to carry out the expressed
intention of this Agreement.
Section 9. Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement inures to the benefit of and is
binding upon the City,the Property Owner, and their respective successors and assigns; Provided,
however, that the City may not assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the
prior written consent of the Capital Provider. The obligation to pay the Assessment set forth in this
Agreement is an obligation of the Property and no agreement or action of the Property Owner
(other than repayment of the Assessment in full in accordance with the terms of the Financing
Agreement)will impair in any way the right to pursue a foreclosure with respect to the lien or the
right to enforce the collection of the Assessment or any Assessment installment against the
Property.

in good faith with the Act, the C-PACE Resolution, and its obligations under this Agreement, the

rights or responsibilities pursuant to or in furtherance of this Agreement. This provision shall inure

successors or assigns of this Agreement.

the City, its governing body, employees, agents, and contractors harmless from any and all claims,
including but not limited to reasonable attorney fees, demands, losses and liabilities to or by third
parties arising from, resulting from, or connected with this Agreement, the Approved Project, the
Assessment, and the lien. The Property Owner's duty to indemnify the City shall not apply to
liability for damages to the extent caused by or resulting from gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the City,its governing body,employees,agents,or contractors. The Property Owner
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Capital Provider, its directors, officers, employees,
agents, and representatives harmless hereunder in the same manner provided in the Financing

other than those to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each
term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and shall be enforced to the extent permitted

III. STAFF ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC)
A. General Overview
This property is designated Low Density Residential on the City's Future Land Use Map(FLUM)
contained in the Comprehensive Plan. This designation allows for the development of single-
family homes on large and estate lots at gross densities of three dwelling units or less per acre.
These areas often transition between existing rural residential and urban properties.
Developments need to respect agricultural heritage and resources,recognize view sheds and open
spaces, and maintain or improve the overall atmosphere of the area. The use of open spaces,
parks,trails, and other appropriate means should enhance the character of the area. Density
bonuses may be considered with the provision of additional public amenities such as a park,
school, or land dedicated for public services.
The proposed land use of single-family residential is consistent with the recommended uses in the
FLUM designation. The proposed project has a gross density of 2.18 du/ac,meeting the required
density range listed above. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed preliminary plat and requested R-4
zoning district to be generally consistent with the Future Land Use Map designation of Low
Density Residential.
The City may require a development agreement(DA)in conjunction with an annexation pursuant
to Idaho Code section 67-6511A. In order to ensure the site develops as proposed with this
application, staff recommends a DA as a provision of annexation with the provisions included in
Section IV. The DA is required to be signed by the property owner(s)/developer and returned to
the City within 6 months of the Council granting the annexation for approval by City Council and
subsequent recordation.

Per UDC 11-313-10,the applicant shall preserve existing trees four-inch caliper or greater
from destruction during the development.
Mitigation shall be required for all existing trees four-inch caliper or greater that are
removed from the site with equal replacement of the total calipers lost on site up to an
amount of one hundred(100)percent replacement(Example: Two(2)ten-inch caliper
trees removed may be mitigated with four 5-inch caliper trees, five(5)four-inch caliper
trees, or seven(7)three-inch caliper trees).Deciduous specimen trees four-inch caliper or
greater may count double towards total calipers lost,when planted at entryways,within
common open space, and when used as focal elements in landscape design.
The applicant submitted a tree mitigation schedule on the landscape plan indicating the
removal of twelve (12) trees totaling 160 caliper inches, to be replaced with 140 trees
totaling 280 caliper inches.
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis

applicant is required to provide a landscape strip a minimum of five(5) feet wide shall
along each side of the pathway. Designs are encouraged in which the width of the
landscape strip varies to provide additional width to plant trees farther from the pathway,
preventing root damage. The minimum width of the landscape strip shall be two (2)feet
to allow for maintenance of the pathway. The landscape strips shall be planted with a mix
of trees, shrubs, lawn,and/or other vegetative ground cover.

Buildings shall be designed with elevations that create interest through the use of broken
planes, windows, and fenestrations that produce a rhythm of materials and patterns. Design
review is not required for single-family detached structures. However, because the rear
and/or sides of homes facing Meridian Road will be highly visible, Staff recommends a DA
provision requiring those elevations incorporate articulation through changes in two or more
of the following: modulation (e.g.projections, recesses, step-backs,pop-outs), bays, banding,
porches, balconies, material types, or other integrated architectural elements to break up
monotonous wall planes and roof lines that are visible from adjacent public streets. Single-
story homes are exempt from this requirement.
Comprehensive Plan policy 2.01.01 C encourages the applicants to maintain a range of
residential land use designations that allow diverse lot sizes, housing types, and densities.

All sidewalks constructed as part of this proposal are required to comply with the standards
listed in UDC 11-3A-17
Staff is requiring the applicant to provide a striped five foot(5) walkway along the north
side of Shafer View Drive between Snowden Way and E. Prairie View Lane, subject to
approval by ACHD. This improvement is necessary to maintain continuous pedestrian
connectivity, as there is currently a gap in the sidewalk system along the north side of E.
Shafer View Drive. The striped walkway will serve as the missing link, ensuring a safe and
consistent pedestrian route through this segment.
5. Subdivision Regulations (UDC 11-6):
i. Dead end streets
No streets or series of streets that ends in a cul-de-sac or a dead end shall be longer than
five hundred(500)feet except as allowed by UDC 11-6C-3.
There are no dead end streets being proposed that are longer than five hundred(500)
feet.
ii. Common driveways
Per UDC 11-6C-3D, common driveways shall serve a maximum of four(4) dwelling
units. In no case shall more than three(3)dwelling units be located on one(1) side of the
driveway.
The applicant is proposing one common driveway that meets the dimensional
requirements as outlined in the UDC.
iii. Block face
UDC 11-6C-3-regulates block lengths for residential subdivisions. Staff has reviewed the
submitted plat for conformance with these regulations. The intent of this section of code
is to ensure block lengths do not exceed 750 ft, although there is the allowance of an
increase in block length to 1,000 feet if a pedestrian connection is provided. In no case
shall a block face exceed one thousand two hundred(1,200)feet,unless waived by the
City Council.
The existing street, Shafer View Drive, measures approximately 1,194 feet along the
north side and approximately 873 feet along the south side, both of which exceed the
maximum block length standard of 750 feet as established by the Unified Development
Code (UDC).As a result, the block does not fully comply with the UDC block length
requirements intended to promote walkability,pedestrian connectivity, and an
interconnected street network.
Accordingly, the applicant is requesting a waiver from City Council to allow the block
face to exceed the maximum block length standard. This request is based on the existing
configuration and alignment of Shafer View Drive, which was constructed within Ada
County prior to the current development proposal and outside the context of the City's
adopted block length standards. The applicant has stated that the size and irregular
shape of the subject property, combined with the proposed residential lot layout and lot
sizes, limits the ability to further subdivide the block.
Pursuant to UDC 11-6C-3.F.3.a, blockfaces within residential zoning districts may be
extended up to one thousand(1,000)feet when a pedestrian connection is provided to
City of Meridian I Department Report 111. Staff Analysis
maintain connectivity for non-vehicular travel. In support of this standard, the applicant
has provided a detached sidewalk along the south side of E. Shafer View Drive, which
establishes a continuous pedestrian connection through the subdivision and enhances
access for pedestrians. While the north block face exceeds the one-thousand-foot
allowance, the provision of pedestrian infrastructure helps mitigate the impacts
associated with the extended block length by supporting safe and convenient pedestrian
movement consistent with the intent of the UDC.
F. Services Analysis
1. Waterways (Comp Plan 4.05.OID, UDC 11-3A-6):
Per UDC 11-3A-6, requires limiting the tiling and piping of natural waterways, including,

Nine Mile, Ten Mile, South Slough and Jackson and Evan Drains) as an amenity in all
residential, commercial and industrial designs. When piping and fencing is proposed, the
standards outlined in UDC 11-3A-6B shall apply.
In Residential Districts, irrigation easements wider than ten (10)feet shall be included in a
common lot that is a minimum of twenty (20)feet wide and outside of a fenced area, unless
otherwise waved by City Council.
Comprehensive Plan policy 4.05.OID requires improving and protecting creeks and other
natural waterways throughout commercial, industrial, and residential areas.
2. Pressurized Irrigation(UDC 11-3A-15):
The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round
source of water(UDC 11-3B-6). The applicant should be required to use any existing surface
or well water for the primary source. If a surface or well source is not available, a single-
point connection to the culinary water system shall be required. If a single point connection
is utilized, the developer will be responsible for the payment of assessments for the common
areas prior to prior to receiving development plan approval.
3. Storm Drainage (UDC 11-3A-18):
An adequate drainage system is required in all developments by the City's adopted standards,
specifications, and ordinances. Design and construction shall follow best management
practices as adopted by the City as outlined in UDC 11-3A-18. Storm drainage will be
proposed with a future construction application and shall be constructed to City and ACHD
design criteria.
The applicant is proposing a pressurized irrigation system using existing surface and
groundwater rights will serve all lots and open space throughout the project. The
homeowner's association will own and operate the irrigation system, consisting of a pump
station and retention pond to be shared between Shafer View Ridge Subdivision,Mondt
Meadows Subdivision and adjacent neighbors that currently take access from the Boise
Project Board of Control Irrigation District via headgate 3.44, located on the north side of E.
Shafer View Drive and accessing the McBirney Lateral.
4. Utilities (Comp Plan 3.03.03G, UDC 11-3A-21):
Ensure development is connected to City of Meridian water and sanitary sewer systems and
the extension to and through said developments are constructed in conformance with the City
of Meridian Water and Sewer System Master Plans in effect at the time of development.All
utilities are available to the site. Water main,fire hydrant and water service require a
twenty foot(20) wide easement that extends ten (10)feet past the end of main, hydrant, or
water meter. No permanent structures, including trees are allowed inside the easement.

VI. ACTION
A. Staff:
Staff recommend approval of the proposed annexation and preliminary plat per the provisions in
Section IV in accord with the Findings in Section V.
B. Commission:
The Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission heard these items on February 5,2026. At the public
hearing,the Commission moved to recommend approval of the subject Annexation and Preliminary
Plat requests.
I. Summary of Commission public hearing_
a. In favor: Jon Breckon on behalf of the property owner
b. In opposition: Gail Ward,Mary Ward, JR Hawkins, and Dave Morgan
C. Commenting:
Gail Ward, Mary Ward,JR Hawkins,and Dave Morgan,President of the HOA,voiced
concerns re ag rding traffic and safety impacts associated with the proposed subdivision and
the previously approved Skyranch Subdivision. The primary concerns expressed include:
• Roadway Design Capacity: Shafer View Drive was originally designed to serve
approximately 15 rural residential homes. Residents are concerned that the roadway
was not designed to accommodate the additional traffic expected from both the
proposed subdivision and the approved Skyranch Subdivision.
• On-Street Parking Hazards: Vehicles parked along Shafer View Drive restrict
maneuverability and create hazardous conditions. With parked vehicles on both sides,
two-way traffic cannot pass simultaneousl.
• Road Width Limitations: Shafer View Drive is currently approximately 32 feet wide
from edge of pavement to edge of pavement. Residents stated that this width is
insufficient to safely accommodate two-way traffic when on-street parking occurs on
both sides.
• Blind Spots and Visibility Concerns: There are existing blind spots along Shafer
View Drive due to roadway curvature and slope,particularly near the connection with
Meridian Road.
• Sight Distance Limitations: Elevation to the south obstructs the view corridor,
creating additional sight distance concerns for motorists.
• Need for Traffic Analysis: Residents requested that the City conduct a comprehensive
traffic and safety analysis of Shafer View Drive prior to allowing additional traffic
from new development.
d. Written testimony: Debbie Boyd(on behalf of the Shafer View Estates HOA)—Safety
concerns regarding increased traffic volumes on the existing roadway(Shafer View Drive)
and its impact to motorist and pedestrians. The addition of homes from the proposed Shafer
View Ridgepproved Sky Ranch subdivisions can be expected to significantly increase
daily traffic on Shafer View Drive. Currently the single-lane road poses safety hazards due
to limited visibility, especially when turning onto Meridian Road or into Shafer View Drive
and the view corridor is further impacted by a rise to the south. Drivers must pull past the
white line for a clear view,and the traffic rarely adheres to the 55-mph speed limit. The
lack of a deceleration lane forces many to use the side median which is unsafe. Turning
from the north onto Shafer View Drive is complicated by blind spots caused by road
curvature,making it hard to see parked cars or oncoming vehicles.

VIII. ADDITIONAL NOTES &DETAILS FOR STAFF REPO RT MAPS,TABLES,AND
CHARTS
(link to Community Metrics)
A. One-Mile Radius Existing Condition Notes
This data is automatically derived from enterprise application and GIS databases, and exported
dynamically. Date retrieved notes generally reflect data acquired or processed within the last 30-
days.Analysis is based on a one-mile radius from the centroid of the identified parcel. Parcel
based data excludes certain properties and represents land as it exists now. Properties considered
are only those with a total assessed value greater than 0(i.e. excludes most HOA area,transitional
development, government, and quasi government facilities). The following values also constrain
included property acreage to reduce outliers and non-conforming instances from distorting
averages: R-2<5.0; R-4<2.0; R-8< 1.0; R-15 <0.5; R-40<0.25.
Conditional Use Permits and Preliminary plat data likely include duplicate project submittals as
they may be for the same project, approved at different times through multiple application types.
Consider each independently or review prior application approvals. Some approved entitlements,
and particularly older ones,may be constructed.
Decennial population counts and household counts are based on the most recent Decennial
Census. Current population and current household values are COMPASS estimates,usually for
the year previous, and are based on traffic analysis zone boundaries(TAZ's).
B. Mixed Use Analysis Notes
This data is derived from enterprise application and GIS databases, and exported dynamically.
Data considered for analysis are only those areas overlapping the overall Mixed Use boundary
area. Mixed Use areas across arterial roadways are distinct, separate, and not considered as they
do not meet the mixed use principles in the Comprehensive Plan(e.g.pedestrian safety,
transportation efficiency, etc.). Mixed Use parcel areas may be greater or smaller than the future
land use area designation boundary due parcel size, configuration,right-of-way, and other factors.
Conditional Use Permits and Preliminary plat data likely include duplicate project submittals as
they may be for the same project, approved at different times through multiple application types.
Consider each independently or review prior application approvals.
C. Service Assessment Notes
This data represents existing conditions derived from our enterprise application and GIS database,
exported through dynamic reporting. The system references the most recent available data from
various sources, including sewer main lines, sewer trunksheds, floodplain, fire service areas and
response times,police crime reporting,pathway information,existing and planned transit,
roadway improvements, school and park proximity, and other resources.
The tool provides context for project review,using multiple indicators consistently. Data from
similar topics may vary based on different levels of review.
The overall score is based on weighted criteria(not a ranked order), and the percentile score
compares the parcel to others in the city(higher is better). This tool was developed as a City
Council priority and outcome of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan. Scores,whether high or low, are
just one data point and should not be the sole basis for decisions.
D. ACHD Roadway Infographic Notes
The Ada County Highway District utilizes a number of planning and analysis tools to understand
existing and future roadway conditions.
• Existing Level of service(LOS).LOS indicator is a common metric to consider a
driver's experience with a letter ranking from A to F.Letter A represents free flow
City of Meridian I Department Report VIII. Additional Notes&Details for Staff Repo rt
Maps, Tables, and Charts
conditions, and on the other end Level F represents forced flow with stop and go
conditions. These conditions usually represent peak hour driver experience. ACHD
considers Level D, stable flow,to be acceptable. The LOS does not represent conditions
for bikes or pedestrians, nor indicate whether improvements: are possible; if there are
acceptable tradeoffs; or if there is a reasonable cost-benefit.
• Integrated Five Year Work Plan(IFYWP).The IFYWP marker(yes/no) indicates
whether the specified roadway is listed in the next 5-years. This work may vary, from
concept design to construction.
• Capital Improvement Plan(CIP).The CIP marker(yes/no)indicates whether the
specified roadway is programmed for improvement in the next 20-years.

III. STAFF ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC)
A. General Overview
The Future Land Use Map(FLUM)contained in the Comprehensive Plan designates this property as
Medium High Density Residential(MHDR).
The MHDR designation allows for a mix of dwelling types including townhouses,condominiums,
and apartments. Residential gross densities should range from eight to twelve dwelling units per acre.
These areas are relatively compact within the context of larger neighborhoods and are typically
located around or near mixed use commercial or employment areas to provide convenient access to
services and jobs for residents. Developments need to incorporate high quality architectural design
and materials and thoughtful site design to ensure quality of place and should also incorporate
connectivity with adjacent uses and area pathways,attractive landscaping and project identity.
The applicant is proposing to subdivide the property into 38 single-family residential lots at a gross
density of 5.72 dwelling units per acre,which is slightly lower than the density range envisioned
within the MHDR designation(8-12 dwelling units per acre).When calculating density for this
property, staff excluded approximately 3.1 acres of undevelopable land due to the slope and hillside
located on the northern portion of the site. This approach is consistent with staff s analysis during the
review of the Pura Vita Ridge Ranch project.
Although the proposed density is lower than anticipated in the MHDR designation,the property is
part of a larger MHDR designated area that is not yet fully built out,and future development is
expected to contribute to the overall density of the area.Additionally,this site was previously
approved for 30 single-family lots, and the current proposal increases the total number of lots by eight
contributing to a higher density in this area than the previous approval. Therefore, staff finds the
proposed density is generally consistent with the surrounding area.

B. History
In 2021,the subject property was included in a planned unit development(PUD)consisting of a mix
of residential housing types,including single-family detached, single-family attached,and townhome
units. The applicant is now proposing to remove this portion of the property from the PUD,rezone the
parcel to R-15 from R-8, add eight additional lots and develop it as a standalone subdivision.
To proceed with these changes,the applicant must amend the existing PUD to demonstrate that
removing the parcel will not negatively impact the integrity of the remaining development.
City of Meridian I Department Report 111. Staff Analysis
Additionally,the existing development agreement must be modified to exclude the subject parcel, and
a new development agreement must be established for the proposed standalone subdivision.
C. Site Development and Use Analysis
1. Existing Structures/Site Improvements (UDC 11-1):
There are no existing structures on the site. The site will be developed as single-family
detached residential homes.
2. Proposed Use Analysis (UDC 11-2):
The applicant is proposing single-family detached dwellings which are listed as a principal
permitted use in the R-15 zoning districts in UDC Table 11-2A-2. The minimum lot size is
3,826 square feet with a average lot size of 4,543 square feet.
3. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
The proposed plat and subsequent development are required to comply with the dimensional
standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-7 for the R-15 zoning district. The proposed lots
comply with the dimensional standards of the above-mentioned district.
4. Planned Unit Developments (UDC 11-7):
The applicant is requesting to remove the subject property from the boundary of the
previously approved Pura Vita Ridge Ranch Planned Unit Development(PUD). Upon review
of the prior approvals, the Pura Vita Ridge Ranch Subdivision included single-family
detached homes, single-family attached homes, and townhomes. The PUD approval also
included deviations from the dimensional standards of the R-15 zoning district to
accommodate the variety of housing types proposed within the overall development.
All of the R-8 lots were required to comply with the required dimensional standards. This is
the portion of the property that the applicant is proposing to rezone to the R-15 zone and
develop single-family detached homes similar to the previous approval. The rezone is desired
so the applicant can increase the number of residential lots from 30 to 38. Like the previous
approval, no deviations to the dimensional standards are requested or approved. Staff has
concluded that the portion subject to the PUD will still provide a mix of housing types as
required. Therefore staff is supportive of the applicant increasing the density and providing
all single-family detached homes within the proposed development.
The original PUD approval also established specific requirements for amenities and open
space to serve the overall development. Based on staffs review, the majority of the approved
amenities and open space areas are located on the remaining property that will continue to
be governed by the PUD. By removing the subject property from the PUD boundary, the
applicant is required to independently meet the City's current open space and amenity
requirements.
Based on the analysis above,staff is supportive of this property being excluded for the
boundary of the PUD.NOTE.Although not required, the applicant intends to have both
developments(Skybreak and Skybreak Rim)share amenities and open space.
D. Design Standards Analysis
1. Structure and Site Design Standards (Comp Plan 2.02.00, Comp Plan 2.02.OIB, Comp Plan
3.07.0IA, UDC 11-3A-19):
The property is currently vacant and zoned R-8. The applicant is proposing to rezone this
area to the R-15 zoning district.
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis
Comprehensive Plan policy 2.02.02C supports infill development that does not negatively
impact the abutting, existing development. Infill projects in downtown should develop at
higher densities, irrespective of existing development.
Comprehensive Plan policy 3.07.0 encourages compatible uses and site design to minimize
conflicts and maximize use of land.
Comprehensive Plan policy 3.07.0IA requires all new development to create a site design
compatible with surrounding uses through buffering, screening, transitional densities, and
other best site design practices.
2. Qualified Open Space&Amenities (Comp Plan 2.02.00, Comp Plan 2.02.0IB, UDC 11-3G):
Based on the standards in UDC Table 11-3G-3, a minimum of 15%(or I-acre)for the R-15
zoning district of qualified open space is required to be provided within the development. An
open space exhibit was submitted as shown in Section VII.F, that depicts 49.1% (or 4.78-
acres) of open space that meets the required quality and qualified open space standards.
Based on the standards set forth in UDC 11-3G-4A, a minimum of one amenity point is
required, as the total project area is 6.64 acres.
The applicant indicates that amenities within the existing Skybreak Subdivision will be
accessible to residents of the proposed Skybreak Rim Subdivision, as it is intended to function
as an extension of the original development. In addition to shared access to these existing
amenities, the applicant proposes to provide on-site amenities within Skybreak Rim, including
a shade structure, seating areas, and enhanced landscaping. The proposed picnic area, as
defined in UDC 11-3G-4.B(includes tables, benches, landscaping, and a shade structure),
exceeds 5,000 square feet in size. As such, it qualifies for the maximum of two amenity points,
exceeding the minimum requirement.
Comprehensive Plan policy 2.02.00 requires the applicant to plan for safe, attractive, and
well-maintained neighborhoods that have ample open space, and generous amenities that
provide varied lifestyle choices.
Comprehensive Plan policy 2.02.0IB requires the applicant to evaluate open space and
amenity requirements for consistency with community needs and values.
3. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B):
i. Storm integration
Per UDC 11-313-11,the applicant shall meet the intent to improve water quality and
provide a natural, effective form of flood and water pollution control through the
integration of vegetated,well designed stormwater filtration swales and other green
stormwater facilities into required landscape areas,where topography and hydrologic
features allow if part of the development.
Development will be required to meet UDC 11-3B-I1 for stormwater integration.
ii. Pathway landscaping
Per UDC 11-3B-12,the landscape strips shall be planted with a mix of trees, shrubs,
lawn, and/or other vegetative ground cover. There shall be a minimum of one(1)tree per
one hundred(100)linear feet of pathway. If this calculation results in a fraction of five
(5)or greater,round up to an additional tree; if the calculation results in a fraction less
than five (5),round the number down.
The applicant is required to revise the landscape plan to show how the landscaping for
pathways meets the requirements outlined in UDC 11-3B-12.
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis
4. Parking (UDC 11-3C):
Off-street parking is required to be provided for each home based on the total number of
bedrooms per unit as set forth in UDC Table 11-3C-6. On-street parking is also available on
the proposed streets.
i. Residential parking analysis
Off-street parking is required to be provided for each home based on the total number of
bedrooms per unit as set forth in UDC Table 11-3C-6. On-street parking is also available
on the proposed streets.
5. Building Elevations (Comp Plan 2.01.01 C,Architectural Standards Manual):
Ten (10) conceptual building elevations were submitted for the proposed subdivision as
shown in Section VII.G. The proposed housing products throughout the development are
single-family detached units featuring a variety of regionally appropriate designs.
Comprehensive Plan policy 2.01.01 C encourages the applicants to maintain a range of
residential land use designations that allow diverse lot sizes, housing types, and densities.
development.
6. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
All fencing constructed on the site is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-
3A-7. The landscape plan shows a six(6)foot tall solid vinyl privacy fencing along the
perimeter of the plat and a five (S)foot open vision fence along the common area on the
north and east side of the project. The applicant will be required to extend the open vision
fence up to six(6)feet in height.
E. Transportation Analysis
1. Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC I1-3H-4):
Access to the site will be provided via S. Cascabel Lane, which is reached from E. Bingley
Lane by way of S. Eagle Road.
2. Multiuse Pathways (UDC 11-3A-5):
No multiuse pathways were required with this development.
3. Pathways (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-8):
The previously approved plan showed a pedestrian connectivity plan was submitted that
depicts sidewalks along streets,pathways through internal common open space areas
providing connections to the multi-use pathway along the creek.A 10'wide multi-use
pathway is proposed along the east boundary of the Pura Vida Subdivision site adjacent to
the creek in accord with the Pathways Master Plan, a 5'wide concrete pathway is proposed
from Road 4 to Road 8 and at the top of the slope in Lot 40, Block 5, and dirt trails are
proposed within the unimproved slope area providing connections between the upper ridge
and the lower valley lots (see Section IX.G). These walkways provide pedestrian connections
to the shelters with picnic tables and benches proposed as amenities within the development.
No new multi-use pathways were required for this development.
The applicant is proposing a pathway on the north side of the property that connects to a
foothill trail descending the slope. This trail will be designed as a natural switchback along
the hillside, with disturbed areas reseeded and maintained in a natural condition.In addition,
a separate pathway is proposed within the open space area along the private road. This
pathway is standalone and does not directly connect to existing sidewalks or other pathway
systems.
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis
The applicant needs to update their pedestrian circulation exhibit to show how they plan to
connect the proposed pathway below the slope to Pura Vita Subdivision.
4. Sidewalks (UDC 11-3A-17):
For private streets serving dwellings,a five-foot wide attached sidewalk or four-foot-wide
detached sidewalk shall be provided on both sides of the private street. This requirement may
be waived or modified by the decision-making body if the applicant can demonstrate that an
alternative, similar pedestrian path exists.
The previous approval provided sidewalks on both sides of the public street connecting to the
proposed pathway network as seen in the exhibit below.

The applicant is proposing a private street with a 5-foot sidewalk on the east side which does
not meet the requirements of UDC 11-3F-4.C.2.b. The applicant is requesting a waiver to
design the same street section and sidewalk configuration approved with the original
Skybreak Subdivision (see exhibit below).

As the private street section of the UDC was changed in 2025, the Planning
Commission and City Council should carefully consider whether the proposed
request meets the intent of the current UDC for sidewalks associated with private
streets.
5. Private Streets (UDC 11-3F-4):
The applicant is required to comply with the private street requirements outlined UDC 11-3.
To serve the 38-lot development the applicant is proposing private streets. In doing so, they
are proposing to utilize the existing private street network within the Skybreak development.
While the proposed subdivision does not include additional gates, the development will
connect to and rely on the existing private streets and gated entrances that currently serve the
Skybreak community.
The City Council previously approved the Skybreak development with 106 homes served by
private streets and two (2)gated accesses. The current proposal would add an additional 38
homes to the private street network.
Pursuant to UDC 11-3F-41 gated residential developments served by private streets shall
have no more than one hundred(100)dwelling units, unless a greater number of units is
approved through a planned unit development(PUD). The code in effect at the time required
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis
one gated entry for every fifty(50) dwelling units. Given that the previously approved
development already exceeded the 100-unit threshold and the applicant is proposing to add
an additional 38 homes to the existing private street network, the Planning Commission and
City Council should carefully consider whether expanding the number of homes served by
this private street system remains appropriate and consistent with the intent of the Meridian
City Code.
Additionally, in order to facilitate the proposed connection to the existing private street
network, the applicant is required to modem the existing Skybreak Subdivision plat.
Specifically, one of the buildable lots within Skybreak Subdivision (Lot 13, Block 1) must be
converted to a common lot to accommodate the connection and circulation associated with
the private street system. As a result, the applicant will be required to submit a final plat
modification for Skybreak Subdivision and a concurrent private street application to allow
the proposed connectivity. These applications must be reviewed and approved by the City
prior to submittal of the final plat for the proposed subdivision.

6. Subdivision Regulations (UDC 11-6):
i. Common driveways
Per UDC 11-6C-3D,common driveways shall serve a maximum of four(4) dwelling
units. In no case shall more than three(3)dwelling units be located on one (1) side of the
driveway.
The applicant is proposing two common driveways that meet the dimensional
requirements as outlined in the UDC 11-6C-3D. However, UDC 11-3F-4.B.6 states no
common driveways shall be allowed off of a private street unless the street section allows
for parking on at least one (1)side of the street or the development has designated
adequate guest parking dispersed throughout, as determined by the director. The
Planning Commission and City Council should consider whether or not the parking
showing is sufficient and meets the intent of UDC 11-3F-4.B.6.
ii. Dead end streets
No streets or series of streets that ends in a cul-de-sac or a dead end shall be longer than
five hundred(500) feet except as allowed by UDC 11-6C-3.
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis
There are no dead-end streets being proposed for this development. The Fire Marshal
has reviewed and approved a secondary emergency access for this development.
iii. Block face
UDC 11-6C-3-regulates block lengths for residential subdivisions. Staff has reviewed the
submitted plat for conformance with these regulations. The intent of this section of code
is to ensure block lengths do not exceed 750 ft, although there is the allowance of an
increase in block length to 1,000 feet if a pedestrian connection is provided. In no case
shall a block face exceed one thousand two hundred(1,200)feet,unless waived by the
City Council.
As currently designed, the proposed plat meets the block face requirements.
F. Services Analysis
1. Pressurized Irrigation(UDC 11-3A-15):
The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round
source of water(UDC 11-3B-6). The applicant should be required to use any existing surface
or well water for the primary source. If a surface or well source is not available, a single-
point connection to the culinary water system shall be required. If a single point connection
is utilized, the developer will be responsible for the payment of assessments for the common
areas prior to prior to receiving development plan approval.
2. Storm Drainage (UDC 11-3A-18):
An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments in accord with the City's
adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction shall follow best
management practice as adopted by the City as set forth in UDC 11-3A-18.A Geotechnical
Evaluation and geotechnical groundwater monitoring report was submitted with this
application.
3. Utilities (Comp Plan 3.03.03G, UDC 11-3A-21):
Ensure development is connected to City of Meridian water and sanitary sewer systems and
the extension to and through said developments are constructed in conformance with the City
of Meridian Water and Sewer System Master Plans in effect at the time of development.All
utilities are available to the site. Water main,fire hydrant and water service require a
twenty foot(20) wide easement that extends ten (10)feet past the end of main, hydrant, or
water meter. No permanent structures, including trees are allowed inside the easement.
Comprehensive Plan policy 3.03.03G requires urban infrastructure be provided for all new
developments, including curb and gutter, sidewalks, water and sewer utilities.

VIII. ADDITIONAL NOTES &DETAILS FOR STAFF REPORT MAPS,TABLES,AND CHARTS
(link to Community Metrics)
A. One-Mile Radius Existing Condition Notes
This data is automatically derived from enterprise application and GIS databases, and exported
dynamically. Date retrieved notes generally reflect data acquired or processed within the last 30-
days. Analysis is based on a one-mile radius from the centroid of the identified parcel. Parcel
based data excludes certain properties and represents land as it exists now. Properties considered
are only those with a total assessed value greater than 0(i.e. excludes most HOA area,transitional
development, government,and quasi government facilities). The following values also constrain
included property acreage to reduce outliers and non-conforming instances from distorting
averages: R-2<5.0; R-4<2.0; R-8< 1.0; R-15 <0.5;R-40<0.25.
Conditional Use Permits and Preliminary plat data likely include duplicate project submittals as
they may be for the same project, approved at different times through multiple application types.
Consider each independently or review prior application approvals. Some approved entitlements,
and particularly older ones,may be constructed.
Decennial population counts and household counts are based on the most recent Decennial
Census. Current population and current household values are COMPASS estimates,usually for
the year previous, and are based on traffic analysis zone boundaries(TAZ's).
City of Meridian I Department Report VIII. Additional Notes&Details for Staff Report
Maps, Tables, and Charts
B. Mixed Use Analysis Notes
This data is derived from enterprise application and GIS databases,and exported dynamically.
Data considered for analysis are only those areas overlapping the overall Mixed Use boundary
area. Mixed Use areas across arterial roadways are distinct, separate, and not considered as they
do not meet the mixed use principles in the Comprehensive Plan(e.g.pedestrian safety,
transportation efficiency, etc.). Mixed Use parcel areas may be greater or smaller than the future
land use area designation boundary due parcel size,configuration,right-of-way, and other factors.
Conditional Use Permits and Preliminary plat data likely include duplicate project submittals as
they maybe for the same project, approved at different times through multiple application types.
Consider each independently or review prior application approvals.
C. Service Assessment Notes
This data represents existing conditions derived from our enterprise application and GIS database,
exported through dynamic reporting. The system references the most recent available data from
various sources, including sewer main lines, sewer trunksheds, floodplain, fire service areas and
response times,police crime reporting,pathway information,existing and planned transit,
roadway improvements, school and park proximity, and other resources.
The tool provides context for project review,using multiple indicators consistently. Data from
similar topics may vary based on different levels of review.
The overall score is based on weighted criteria(not a ranked order), and the percentile score
compares the parcel to others in the city(higher is better). This tool was developed as a City
Council priority and outcome of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan. Scores,whether high or low, are
just one data point and should not be the sole basis for decisions.
D. ACHD Roadway Infographic Notes
The Ada County Highway District utilizes a number of planning and analysis tools to understand
existing and future roadway conditions.
• Existing Level of service(LOS).LOS indicator is a common metric to consider a
driver's experience with a letter ranking from A to F. Letter A represents free flow
conditions, and on the other end Level F represents forced flow with stop and go
conditions. These conditions usually represent peak hour driver experience. ACHD
considers Level D, stable flow,to be acceptable. The LOS does not represent conditions
for bikes or pedestrians,nor indicate whether improvements: are possible; if there are
acceptable tradeoffs; or if there is a reasonable cost-benefit.
• Integrated Five Year Work Plan(IFYWP). The IFYWP marker(yes/no)indicates
whether the specified roadway is listed in the next 5-years. This work may vary, from
concept design to construction.
• Capital Improvement Plan(CIP). The CIP marker(yes/no)indicates whether the
specified roadway is programmed for improvement in the next 20-years.
