We want to bring you a nice project. So, we are requesting deferral to June 16th.

2. Public Hearing (continued from April 28, 2026) for Rolling Hill (H-
2025-0040) by The Architects Office, located at 1560 Rolling Hill Dr.
(Parcel #R7555000032), 1520 Rolling Hill Dr. (Parcel #R7555000041),
1480 Rolling Hill Dr. (Parcel #R7555000050), 4270 E. Overland Dr.
(Parcel #R7555000015 and Parcel #R7555000025), 4240 E. Overland
Rd. (Parcel #R7444000022)
A. Request: Annexation of 8.16 acres of land with the C-C zoning to
construct 184 vertically integrated residential units and 18,226 sq,ft.
of commercial space across four (4) buildings.
Simison: All right. With that we will move on to Item 2 this evening, which is a public
hearing continued from April 28th, 2026, for Rolling Hills, H-2025-0040. We will
continue this public hearing with comments from staff.
Napoli: Mayor, Members of the Council, so, yes, this application was continued --
Rolling Hill project was continued from April 28th until now and the City Council
continued that project for staff to create a development agreement provisions for
approval, get revised landscape plans, elevations, unit count, commercial square
footage and coordinate with the adjacent neighborhood and developer regarding the
sale of future properties in the area. So, I did want to highlight just -- staff did have a
meeting with an adjacent developer. I did send you guys an e-mail kind of updating
that. Don't want to highlight it too much, because it's not part of this application, but
there are seven properties to the north of Eastview Circle that are under a LOI or letter
of intent. He is still having conversations with three other of the properties for that and
as you can see one is up here and two are kind of in this corner that are directly above
this and those conversations are ongoing. I will kind of leave it at that. As far as -- so,
staff did receive all the revised drawings and updated landscape plan. We did get the
Meridian City Council Work Session
May 19,2026
Page 4of7
irrigation issue as far as trees resolved and they are actually going to be providing them
on the south side of the pathway, instead of on the north side, so it won't be in the
irrigation district's easement. So, we did resolve the issue with the trees in the irrigation
district's easement. They did provide the updated elevations for you guys to look at, so
as you -- as we discussed at the previous hearing they did have a transition to the north.
There was like a three -- three -- three stories onto the interior and two stories to the
north and they did revise that to show three stories on both sides and that did raise the
unit count from 184 units to 200 units. So, it was an increase of 16 units and about nine
percent throughout the project. That did also increase the square footage for the
nonresidential space or commercial space to 19,517 square feet of nonresidential space
and the open space calculations did decrease a little bit of 45,000 square feet instead of
53,000, but generally it is all still what you guys saw, it's still the same concept plan and
those are just the changes that were made from the previous hearing at your guys'
request and I will stand for any questions that you have.
Simison: Okay. Thank you, Nick. Council, any questions for staff? Okay. Will the
applicant like to come forward with any comments? Good evening.
Slagle: Good evening. I'm Brett Slagle. My address is 2409 North Sepulveda
Boulevard in Manhattan Beach, California. 90266. 1 saw you guys three weeks ago.
Thanks so much for allowing us to come back. Our presentation is very short and really
just on quick repeat, so I will just blaze through it really quick. We moved to 200 units.
We raised the building to three stories on the one side and we raised the commercial or
nonresidential square footage. Site adjustments. We made some minor footprint
adjustments to the northern buildings. We made minor amenity location adjustments,
but we maintained all the existing amenities that you previously saw. As Nick pointed
out, we just -- we also adjusted the landscape -- landscaping on the north side of the
building to accommodate this row of trees per the development agreement. The
northern neighborhood -- this information is somewhat different and we are kind of
getting this a little bit on hearsay, but we understand that maybe now there is nine -- the
-- so, the one is kind of in the corner there, maybe those people are now under LOI, we
are not entirely sure, we are not running that process. But, anyways, it's our belief after
speaking with kind of their informal representative that, yes, in fact, all of these
properties, except for the -- currently the one in the red is the one that is a holdout at
this point, but they are trying and deliberating with them right now. But it does really
seem factual that these people are interested in selling and, then, the second point here
is that Nick and his team have met with this developer as well, so that's the second time
you have heard that information. Development agreement. This is just for us to simply
say that Nick and community development, we have been going back and forth on the
development agreement. We are in agreement with it and so here it is, but we are
ready to accept all of these points today. Public comment. I just want to make a quick
point that a lot of the advocates for the project that were here three weeks ago are here
again. I have asked them to not speak again unless they want -- specifically want to,
but I didn't feel like that was probably a great use of any of our time and so by all means
they can speak again if you -- if you would like them to, but I think probably trying to
keep it moving. I know you have to open it up for public comment, but just know that
Meridian City Council Work Session
May 19,2026
Page 5 of 7
they are here if that's necessary and that's all that I have today and I will stand for any
questions.
Simison: Thank you. Council, any questions? Perfect. Thank you.
Slagle: Thank you very much. Appreciate it.
Simison: Mr. Clerk, do we have anyone that signed up to testify?
Johnson: Mr. Mayor, the only people that wrote down their name did not mark -- did not
mark that they wanted to speak.
Simison: Okay. Well, we will leave it up to you if you would like to come forward and
testify, but we just ask that you limit your comments to the changes that we have seen
or the development agreement just to -- you know, that way we can keep it focused.
So, if anyone would like to come forward. And if you are online you can use the raise
your hand feature if you would like to provide any comments. Seeing no one coming
forward and no one online raising their hand, does the applicant waive any final
comments? The applicant waives. Council, your direction.
Overton: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: Just a quick question for staff before I make the next -- as we sit here tonight
development agreement has been drawn up, the applicant says they are in complete
agreement with that. Are there any other outstanding issues that we need to know
about with this application?
Napoli: Mr. Mayor, Council President Overton, no, there is not. You know, as far as -- it
would be the development agreement provisions in front of you and updated unit count,
updated commercial square footage, as long as all of those are things that Council
understands and is in agreement with there is no other outstanding issues. That's
correct.
Overton: Thank you. Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: I move that we close the public hearing on Item 2, Rolling Hill, H-2025-0040.
Little Roberts: 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.
Meridian City Council Work Session
May 19,2026
Page 6 of 7
MOTION CARRIED: ALLAYES.
Overton: Mr. Mayor, if there is no other comment --
Simison: Councilman Overton.
Overton: Move forward and recommend -- after considering all staff, applicant and
public testimony I move that we approve File No. H-2025-0040 as presented in the staff
report for the hearing date of May 19th, 2026.
Little Roberts: Second.
Simison: Have a motion and a second to approve Item 2, which is H-2025-0040. Is
there a discussion?
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Real quick. Appreciate staff working with the applicant on this and I think this
was a good use of a continuance. I have a general rule where I speak and let the
applicant know when I'm not going to be speaking in favor. So, I recognize for many
people in the audience this is the right solution. I view this as exacerbating an already
challenging problem in the area. So, I won't be voting in favor. I have got a good sense
where the Council is going to land tonight. Wish you well on your project, but it's just
not a request before the Council I can be in support of this evening.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Yeah. I just wanted to make a quick comment. This has been a really tough
neighborhood to try to figure out and I just really appreciated the continuance and staff
and the applicant's follow up here. I thought it was really helpful and I feel like it really
established that this is a neighborhood that is in transition. I know not every single
property is in transition, but we can't make decisions based on that one marginal
property. I think the whole neighborhood feels like it's in transition. It feels like it's ready
for its next phase and I think that's exciting. It's -- listen, it's always sad when a -- kind
of a piece of our more rural historical piece of our city leaves, but we are moving on to
something new. That's hard. But at the same time it's exciting and it feels like a great
project and I think hopefully the continuance gave the applicant an opportunity as well.
So, I think this was a win for everybody and I will be in support.
Simison: Thank you. Council, any additional comments? If not, clerk call the roll.
