As was discussed when you met with the Board of County Commissioners on April 28, 1993, the survey will be limited to two choices: • The area should remain within the Meridian Area of City Impact; • The area should be removed from the Meridian Area of City Impact. The Board has informed Don Smitchger, Mike Caven, and Chris Korte that the property owners that are proposing the change will be responsible for the costs associated with this survey. The Board also requests that you review the letter and survey before it is mailed out, so please look it over and let me know if you have comments or suggestions for changes to the text. The Board is proposing to allow property owners that are listed on the Assessor's records be eligible to respond to the survey. Thus a husband and wife that jointly own a parcel will be entitled to two surveys. Should they own more than one parcel, they will be still be limited to two responses (for example, if they own three parcels, they are allowed to send back two survey responses, NOT six). The Board is also interested in hearing from renters, with the responses being limited to the individuals that signed the lease or otherwise arranged to rent the property. Thank you for taking the time to review the draft. Please call me at 364-2277 with comments or mark up the draft and return it to me by mail at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, Joanne Garnett, AICP Deputy Planning Director Att. cc: Wayne Forrey, AICP DRAFT - FOR DISCUSSION May 17, 1993 Dear Property Owner or Resident: This letter is being sent to ask you to complete the enclosed survey regarding property that you either own or rent within a portion of the Meridian Area of City Impact. For your information, an "Area of City Impact" is unincorporated land surrounding a municipality that has ties with that city due to its trade area, geographic factors, and reasonable likelihood of being annexed into the city some time in the future. Each "Area of City Impact" boundary is established through negotiations between incorporated cities and the County. The area being surveyed is located 4 mile west of Cloverdale Road to 4 mile south of Ustick Road, to 4 mile west of Eagle Road to mile south of McMillan Road (see enclosed map). Several property owners within this area are interested in having their land removed from the Meridian Area of City Impact, with the hope that their properties will later be placed within the Boise City Area of Impact. They believe that their properties are likely to be served by Boise City in a more timely manner than would be the case if they remained within the Meridian Area of City Impact. At this point, the City of Meridian and Board of Ada County Commissioners are interested in learning the opinions of all property owners and residents within this square mile area, through the use of an informational, nonbinding survey. The survey asks you to pick between two options: should the area remain within the Meridian Area of City Impact, or should be area be removed. If the City of Meridian and Board agree that the area should be removed from the Meridian Area of City Impact, then it will be scheduled for public hearings before the City and County Planning and Zoning Commissions, Meridian City Council, and Board of County Commissioners. In addition, should the area be proposed for removal from the Meridian Impact Area, and if property owners wish to proceed with placing the land in the Boise Area of City Impact, that request will also go through the public hearing process. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Joanne Garnett, Ada County Development Services, at 364-2277. Thank you for taking this opportunity to share your opinion with us. Sincerely, BOARD OF ADA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DRAFT LANGUAGE - Survey Please pick one: o The area should remain within the Meridian Area of City Impact o The area should be removed from the Meridian Area of City Impact Eligible to complete survey: Property owners listed on the mailing labels and County Assessor's records; One representative for parcels owned by churches, corporations, etc.; Renters who either signed a lease with the property owner or are responsible for the rental payment. Return to: Ada County Development Services ATT: Joanne Garnett 650 Main St. Boise, ID 83702 Return by: , 1993 ADA COUNTY MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Ada County Commissioners Meridian City Council FROM: Sheldon D. Gerber, Senior County Plann r DATE: October 4, 1984 RE: Meridian Area of City Impact Analysis/Report PLANNING DIVISION GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPT 650 Main Boise, Idaho 83702 (208) 383-4422 PLANNING COMMISSION Idaho State Code 67-6526(a) requires that Ada County and each of the cities in the county adopt an Area of City Impact by ordinance. If an Area of City Impact was not adopted by 1978, Idaho State Law provides for the formation of an Area Of City Impact Committee which must recommend an Area of City Impact to both the city and the county. On August 29, 1983, a nine -member Meridian Area of City Impact Committee was formed in accordance with Idaho Code 67-6526(b). This committee was composed of:. Commissioner Bill Gratton Commissioner Vern Emery Commissioner Ed Riddle Then Councilman Grant Kingsford Councilman Bill Brewer Councilman Rick Orton -(later replaced by Councilman Bill Giesler) Mr. Terry Smith Mr. Bob Spencer Mr. David Davenport On September 6, 1984, the Meridian Area of City Impact Committee recommended a package of two ordinances and two resolutions as the Meridian Area of City Impact. The Area of City Impact is defined in Idaho Code 67-6526(a) as two ordinances. The first ordinance is "a map identifying an Area of City Impact within an unin- corporated area of the county." The second ordinance provides for "application of plans and ordinances for the Area of City Impact." This second ordinance .may provide for three different strategies for plan and ordinance applications in the Area of City Impact: I. City plan and ordinances, 2. County plan and ordinances, or 3. Any mutually agreed upon plan and ordinance requirements. The recommendation of the Meridian Area of City Impact Committee is that the county's plan and ordinances apply in the unincorporated area of the county that comprises the Meridian Area of City Impact. -BOCC October 4, 1984 Page 2 There are two Area of City.lmpact Ordinances and two related Area of City Impact Resolutions. The first ordinance designates a Meridian Area of City Impact boundary using the one-quarter mile section lines as the boundaries. A map is attached to this ordinance identifying the Area of City Impact. The map also shows related Referral Areas, which are discussed in the second resolution and are addressed later in this report. Also contained within this ordinance are provisions for the treatment of property which is split by the Area of City Impact boundary, for a renegotiation process of the Area of City Impact, and for a severance clause. The second ordinance applies the County Comprehensive Plan Rural Area Policies and the Ada County Zoning Ordinance to the unincorporated area within the Meridian Ares of City Impact. In addition, this second ordinance states that: - Meridian may not annex outside of this Area of City Impact Boundary. - City and county amendments to their respective comprehensive plans and zoning ordinances that apply within the Meridian Area of City Impact shall be referred to the other for comments. - There is renegotiation process. - There is a severance clause and an effective date. In reference to the before mentioned two Area of City Impact Ordinances, it should be emphasized that the county rural area policies do not apply to land within the city limits or to any future annexed lands to Meridian. The Meridian City Council has exclusive jurisdiction within the city limits. The only restriction to the city's jurisdiction is that annexation not'occur outside of the adopted Area of City Impact boundary. The first resolution, which is called the Meridian Area of City Impact Referral Process, establishes the specific time periods and procedures for Meridian and Ada County to refer each other's plan and ordinance amendments to the other. Specifically covered are all amendments to comprehensive plans, the Zoning Ordi- nance, and zoning applications. These items cannot be considered at a public hearing unless and until the referral has been sent to the other jurisdiction within the specified time period. The contents of this resolution could have been put within the Area of City Impact Ordinance; however, they were placed in' the resolution so that they could be changed if the time periods or process proved to be unreasonable. The second Area of City Impact Ordinance requires that the referral process take place, but the resolution identifies the specific time periods and to whom the referrals should be sent. If the time periods need to be lengthened or shor- tened, for whatever reason, a change in the resolution can be accomplished without renegotiating the Area of City Impact Ordinances. Such a renegotiation would be more time-consuming and needlessly bureaucratic. The second resolution, called the Meridian/Ada County Referral Areas, describes two areas that were originally considered to be included in the Meridian Area of BOCC October 4, 1984. Page 3 City Impact boundary, but were rejected because they could not meet State Code criteria.for inclusion within the Meridian Area of City Impact. These areas are still of concern to Meridian, however. Specifically, the City of Meridian wants to be officially informed of any effort to amend the County Comprehensive Plan policies that would apply to these referral areas or of any effort to include these areas in another city's Area of City Impact. Consequently, this resolution would require that Ada County notify Meridian of any County Comprehensive Plan amendment or any county negotiated Area of City Impact Ordinance affecting the Referral Areas. Idaho Code 67-6526(b) states that the recommendations of the Meridian Area of City Impact Committee "shall be acted upon by the governing boards within sixty (60) days of receipt." Since the Meridian Area of City Impact Committee made its recommendation on September 6, 1984, the Meridian City Council and the Board of Ada County Commissioners will have to "act upon" the Committee's recommen- dation by November 5, 1984. Idaho Code 67-6526(b) also states that "in defining an Area of City Impact, the following factors shall be considered: 1. "Trade area; 2. Geographic factors; 3. Areas that can reasonably be expected to be annexed to the city in the future." TRADE AREA The intersection of Cherry Lane, Fairview Avenue and East 1st Street serves as the commercial hub of Meridian. Adjacent to and extending from this intersec- tion are the Cherry Plaza Shopping Center, the Smith's Shopping Center, the Old Town Meridian area, and adjacent commercial sites to these three centers. Taken together, these commercial areas could be defined as a large community -sized shopping center. Normally a community -sized shopping.center comprises between 100,000 to 300,000 square feet of floor area. Cherry Plaza includes approxima- tely 135,000 square feet of gross floor area and the Smith's Shopping Center Includes approximately 64,000 square feet of floor area. At a density of three dwelling units per acre (DU/A), a community -sized shopping center can be expected to have a service radius of two to three miles (De Chiara, Joseph and Lee Koppelman, Urban Planning and Design Criteria [New York: Van Nostrader Reinhold Company, 19751, p. 428.). The vast majority of the City of Meridian is zoned R-4 (8,000 square foot lots), which is equiva.lent to approximately three DU/A. From the intersection of Fairview Avenue, Cherry Lane, and East 1st Street to the proposed Meridian Area of City Impact boun- daries, the,distance In.each direction is approximately as follows: North - 1 3/4 miles. East - 2 3/4 miles (abuts the adopted Boise Area of City Impact boundary). BOCC October 4, 1984 Page 4 South - 3 1/4 miles. West - 3 3/4 miles. This intersection may not be the exact center of the described three major shoppi.ng areas, but it is necessary to pick a specific location for analysis purposes. Also, these shopping center standards are general and must be applied and balanced against other factors such as existing land use, public service capabilities, geographic factors, and ability to annex. Based on this infor- mation -the Meridian Area of City Impact boundary can be considered as the pri- mary trade area of the existing Meridian shopping centers. GEOGRAPHIC FACTORS The Meridian area has a generally flat to rolling terrain which is devoid of major geographic factors which would divide or unite the City of Meridian. There are no major rivers except for the Boise River, which is to the north of the proposed Area of City Impact. There are no major elevation changes, with the possible exception of the benches or rims which do not seem to pose any major barrier to city development or expansion. Roads are a major man-made feature of the geography of the Meridian Area of City Impact. However, only Interstate 84 -could be considered as a barrier.- This 1-84 barrier will become.less of a factor -in the future as the Eagle Road Interchange is developed. In addition., transportation plans (Ada Planning Association, Transportation Plan for_Northern Ada County, [October, 19821, p. 34.) call for the construction of aLocust Grove Road Overpass in the long-term future. This will also lessen the barrier of 1-84. The Southwest Community Wastewater'Management Study (1980) indicates that the general flow of ground water from Southwest Boise/Southeast Meridian is toward the City of Meridian. This northwest -flow of the groundwater applies to all the land which is generally north of Amity Road. At Amity Road the ground water flows directly west, and south of Amity Road the ground water flows in a south to southwesterly direction. Based on this technical report, there is no ground water related geographic factor to justify the inclusion of land around Amity Road and south of Amity Road within the Meridian Area of City impact. AREAS THAT CAN REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO BE ANNEXED TO THE CITY IN THE FUTURE The Meridian Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 1978 and as amended in 1984, iden- tifies an Urban Service Planning Area (USPA) for the City of Meridian (see attached two maps). Meridian Is expected,to grow to approximately 20,500 people by the year 2000 ('Ada Planning Association, Demographic Report, Ada County, Idaho, [July, 19841 p. 3.). Within the 1978 and the 1984 USPA boundaries indi- cated in the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, a population of approximately 50,000 can easily be accommodated at the densities identified in the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. In other words, the USPA for Meridian could be considered as an ultimate plan or fifty-year growth pattern. Normally comprehensive plans cover a growth period of twenty years. Consequently, a fifty-year planning period can be considered as more futuristic and as an ultimate design for the City of Meridian. BOCC October 4, 1984 Page 5 The proposed Meridian Area.of City Impact includes all of this ultimate fifty- year USPA for the City of Meridian as identified in the adopted Meridian Comprehensive Plan. In fact, the proposed Meridian Area of City Impact is larger than the.USPA. It is unlikely that Meridian will need to annex outside of the proposed Area of City Impact in the foreseeable future. The USPA boundaries indicated in the Meridian Comprehensive Plan are generalized sketch boundaries and are not drawn to fit any legal description of property. Consequently, the USPA may be larger or smaller in given.areas based upon the ability of Meridian to provide urban services to those areas as determined by Meridian when these lands are annexed. Two major factors affecting public service capabilities were used to refine the boundary of the proposed Area of City Impact so that all of the Urban Service Planning Area would be included within it. These factors may affect the cityts ability to provide services and to annex these areas in the future. These two factors include: 1. It is desirable to maintain gravity -flow sewer lines for collecting wastewater at the Meridian Wastewater Treatment Plant because new sewage pumping stations are not required. The Meridian Wastewater Treatment Plant is located northwest of the intersection of Ustick and Ten Mile Roads. The southern part of Black Cat Road and the northern part of Eagle Road were not included in the proposed Meridian Area of City Impact because they could not be serviced by gravity -flow sewer collection lines. 2. Major roads such as section line roads were considered as poor ultimate boundaries between the Meridian city limits and eith6r the Ada County's rural lands or the Boise city limits. This is the major reason why the Cities of Boise and Meridian agreed in 1982 to a common Area.of City Impact boundary dividing the jurisdictions at a line one-quarter mile west of and parallel to Cloverdale Road. It is simply more practical and cost effective for one city to provide services on both sides of a major street. If Cloverdale Road, for example, was used as the ultimate boundary bet- ween the city limits of Boise and Meridian, two cities would run major underground utilities (sewer, water, etc.) and emergency vehicles (police, fire, ambulance, etc.) along and down the same street but only serve one side of the street. In fact, an accident which occurred on Cloverdale Road might actually occur in both cities and involve respon- ses from two police departments, fire departments and ambulance ser- vices. Consequently, quarter -mile section lines would be�used as boundaries rather than roads. These three factors of trade area, geography and future annexation justify the proposed Meridian Area of City Impact boundary.

Gerber, Impact Committee Secretary _ DATE: August 20, 1984 RE: Area of City Impact Committee Meeting On May 7, 1984, the Meridian Area of City Impact Committe recommended approval of a package of Meridian Area of Impact Ordinances/Resolutions. At that time, the Committee directed the planning and legal staff to work out some minor wording changes. The Prosecuting Attorney's Office has completed review of the Ordinance/Resolutions and has proposed a number of changes. The Prosecutor, Wayne Crookston and myself all agree that these changes are minor in natural even though they are extensive in length. However, because the changes are lengthy we are recommending that the Committee review the redrafted Ordinances/Resolutions and make another recommendation. Thi's will insure that the exact recommendation of the Committee is considered at hearings by the Meridian City Council and the Board of Ada County Commissioners. The Committe meeting has been set for: Thursday, September 6, 1984 4:15 to 5:00 PM Meridian City Hall I have enclosed a copy of the redrafted Ordinances/Resolutions, and have high- lighted the changes and additions from that which was previously recommended by the Committee. This should make easier your review of such changes. If you have any questions please call me at 383-4422.

OLD BUSINESS: 1. MERIDIAN AREA OF CITY IMPACT ORDINANCE Mr. Gross indicated to the committee that he has given to the Meridian City Clerk a copy of the legal notice and Area of City Impact Boundary Map that the County will be using as part of its hearing notification requirements. He advised Meridian to review these documents with their legal counsel and revise It accordingly to meet Meridlants public hearing notification requirements. Mr. Gross also advised the committee that the County's Prosecuting Attorney's representative, Ted Argyle, had suggested changes to the Area of City Impact Ordinances/Resolutions. The document which was forwarded to the committee indicates in yellow the changes that are suggested. Mr. Gross mentioned that Wayne Crookston suggested that this meeting be held so that the revised Area of City Impact•Ordinances/Resolutions could be formally acted on by the committee and used as the final public hearing document. This will insure that the exact recommendation of the committee is con- sidered at the hearings held by the Meridian City Council and the Board of Ada County Commissioners. MOTION: MAYOR KINGSFORD MOVED THAT THE COMMITTEE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REVISED ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS. VERN EMERY SECONDED THE MOTION AND IT PASSED FOUR VOTES TO TWO WITH TERRY SMITH AND BOB SPENCER OPPOSING THE MOTION. Mayor Kingsford indicated that with the committee approval both the City of Meridian and Ada County can now schedule public hearings on the Impact Area Ordinances/Resolutions. Ted Argyle indicated that such hearings would have to be held separately since each governmental entity will have to eventually amend its own Comprehensive Plan by virtue of adopting this document. Mayor Kingsford asked City Attorney Crookston if he had any further comments to make now that the ordinances had been recommended. Mr. Crookston indicated that he thought the document was fine before, and the changes that were made were only semantical. He did not see any problem with it. -e m MINUTES MERIDIAN AREA OF CITY IMPACT COMMITTEE SEPTEMBER 6, 1984 Page 2 Mayor Kingsford asked Mr. Spencer and Mr. Smith to make some kind of statement concerning their negative vote on this document. Mr. Smith indicated that he had difficulty with the area where the county policies are going to be used between the city limits and the Area of Impact boundary. It is not consistent with other communities and it provides some difficulty in encouraging future growth and the expedient bringing in of new business. Mr. Spencer agreed with Mr. Smith's assessment and added that the city was giving up some of i;ts flexibility and ability to do things that maybe could be done if the city's plan applied within the Urban Service Planning Area. Mayor Kingsford indicated that Meridian could move much more rapidly with this type of agreement than some other cities can since all we have to do to have our plans and ordinances apply within the Area of City Impact is to annex.. We don't have near the constraint that is typical in the other communities. The thing we.. have protected, in my judgement, is that their Rural Plan applies outside of our city limits. Nothing can be approved out there by the county unless it meets their Rural Plan. If it is anything that is creditable and a real asset to the city then they would want annexation and as a result of annexation could be approved for development quite rapidly. Mr. Emery suggested that the City of Meridian schedule its public hearing first and the county would follow suit shortly thereafter. Mr Argyle indicated to the committee that Meridian and Ada County have sixty (60) days in which to take action on the proposed Area of City Impact Ordinances/Resolutions.

MINUTES APPROVAL MOTION: MAYOR KINGSFORD MOVED THAT THE MINUTES OF APRIL 2, 1984 BE APPROVED AS CORRECT. COMMISSIONER VERN EMERY SECONDED THE MOTION AND IT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. OLD BUSINESS 1. Meridian Area of City Impact Ordinances and Resolutions Mr. Sheldon Gerber referred to Enclosures 2 and 3 that were mailed out to the Committee. Enclosure 2 was the original draft of ordinances/resolutions with modifications reflecting an annexation only policy for urban types of development. Enclosure 3 was prepared by Mr. Crookston and showed modifi— cations to the text in Enclosure 2. The Area of City Impact Boundary Ordinance was not modified by Mr. Crookston. There were some minor modifications to the Area of City Impact Policy Ordinance. Several minor additions and one major addition were proposed to the Meridian Area of City.lmpact Referral Process Resolution. A new section was proposed at the beginning called, Section 1.0 Amendment to Comprehensive Plans for Land Solely Within or To Be Included In The City Limits. Mr. Gerber suggested that the phrase "but shall be treated as documentary evidence", be added to the end of the second sentence in the paragraph, in reference to County comments on Meridian's proposed annexations and comprehensive plan amendments. r' MERIDIAN AREA OF MINUTES OF MAY 7, Page 2. CITY IMPACT COMM. 1984 There was also discussion about the last sentence in Section 1.0: Upon approval, if approved, the amendment or the amendment and the annexation, if annexation is a part of the application, shall be affec- tive and Ada County shall amend its comprehensive plan to reflect the amendment and/or annexation as approved by the City of Meridian. Mr. Gerber questioned whether it was appropriate to dictate in this resolu " tlonthat Ada County "shall amend its comprehensive plan." -it was agreed � that,' -Ada County had„no Jurisdiction -to determine what a comprehensive plan ramendment'`should be within'Meridian City limits nor`'which lands should be tlf.,;annexed within the Area of impact. However, it may not be necessary to have. Ada.County amend the County ;Comprehensive.PIan to incorporate amendments to` ­1 F Sithe City'Comprehensive Plan..when'In fact, the countyf'was not adopting the Meridian `Comprehensive-Plan'in`the first place under .the terms of the °Merid.ian Area'Y ` _ '.P of Cit Im act Ordinance. He referred'to -Section 1.0 of -the ' a Area`of Impact.Pol icy'.0rdinance which' stated that, "Upon`'annexation of any ” portion of-'the,.!Area'of`CI ty Impact'in Meridian, the portions7of this ordi :Cance°shall'no longer apply to such annexed areas." After additional discussion of this issue the Committee determined that Mr. Gerber, Mr. Crookston and the Prosecuting Attorney's Office should work out the specific language and that would be acceptable to the Committee. The other additions to the resolution suggested by Mr. Crookston were accepted by the Committee. Mr. Gerber stated that the Meridian/Ada County Referral Areas Resolution would have to be modified to correct the legal descriptions. He also suggested some minor wording changes to Section 2.0. City Councilmen Bill Brewer entered the meeting at 4:12 P.M. MOTION: COMMISSIONER VERN EMERY MOVED TO APPROVE THE AREA OF CITY IMPACT ORDINANCES/RESOLUTIONS. MAYOR KINGSFORD SECONDED THE MOTION AND IT PASSED WITH TERRY SMITH AND BOB SPENCER VOTING AGAINST THE MOTION. MOTION: COMMISSIONER VERN EMERY MOVED THAT THE AREA OF CITY IMPACT ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS BE RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND TO THE MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL. MAYOR KINGSFORD SECONDED THE MOTION AND IT PASSED WITH TERRY SMITH AND BOB SPENCER VOTING AGAINST THE MOTION. -_Mr.- -Smith and Mr. Spencer stated that they were only representing their own personal views and could not speak for the Meridian Chamber of Commerce orthe Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission. Mayor Kingsford and Councilman --Brewer'stated that they"thought the concept was sellable and they should *.F k proceed with the public hearings on the proposed ordinances/resolutions.• fter}some `add i t`i ona I —discussion Mr. Gerber was directed as Secretary of the Committee to prepare a letter to the Meridian City Council. and to the Board r.w.., of County Commissioners notifying them of the recommendation of the " Committee. According to Idaho Code the City Council and the Board of County Commissioners would have to act upon the recommendation within 60 days of receipt. Mr. Crookston thought that "act upon the recommendation" meant approve or deny the recommendation. Mr. Gerber explained that he would redraft the ordinance to reflect the changes approved by the Committee and ,draft a notice of public hearing.

Meridian Area of City Impact Ordinances and Resolutions Mr. Sheldon Gerber referred to Enclosures 2 and 3 that were mailed out to the Committee. Enclosure 2 was the original draft of ordinances/resolutions with modifications reflecting an annexation only policy for urban types of development. Enclosure 3 was prepared by Mr. Crookston and showed modifi- cations to the text in Enclosure 2. The Area of City Impact Boundary Ordinance was not modified by Mr. Crookston. There were some minor modifications to the Area of City Impact Policy Ordinance. Several minor additions and one major addition were proposed to the Meridian Area of City Impact Referral Process Resolution. A new section was proposed at the beginning called, Section 1.0 Amendment to Comprehensive Plans for Land Solely Within or To Be Included In The City Limits. Mr. Gerber suggested that the phrase "but shall be treated as documentary evidence", be added to the end of the second sentence in the paragraph, in reference to County comments on Meridian's proposed annexations and comprehensive plan amendments. P - MERIDIAN AREA OF CITY •IMPACT COMM. MINUTES OF MAY 7, 1984 Page 2. There was also.discussion about the last sentence in Section 1.0: Upon.approval, if approved, the amendment or the amendment and the annexation, if annexation is a part of the application, shall be affec- tive and Ada County shall amend its comprehensive plan to reflect the amendment and/or annexation as approved by the City of Meridian. Mr. Gerber questioned whether it was appropriate to dictate in this resolu- tion that Ada County "shall amend its comprehensive plan." It was agreed that Ada County had no jurisdiction to determine what a comprehensive plan amendment should be within Meridian City limits nor which lands should be annexed within the Area of Impact. However, it may not be necessary to have Ada County amend the County Comprehensive Plan to incorporate amendments to the City Comprehensive Plan when in fact, the county was not adopting the Meridian Comprehensive Plan in the first place under the terms of the Meridian Area of City Impact Ordinance. He referred to Section 1.0 of the Area of Impact Policy Ordinance which stated that, "Upon annexation of any portion of the Area of City Impact in Meridian, the portions of this ordi- nance shall no longer apply to such annexed areas." Afteradditionaldiscussion of ,this issue the Committee determined that Mr. Gerber, Mr. Crookston and the Prosecuting Attorney's Office should work out the specific language and that would be acceptable to the Committee. The other additions to the resolution suggested by Mr. Crookston were accepted by the Committee. Mr. Gerber stated that the Meridian/Ada County Referral Areas Resolution would have to be modified to correct the legal descriptions. He also suggested some minor wording changes to Section 2.0. City Councilmen Bill Brewer entered the meeting at 4:12 P.M. MOTION: COMMISSIONER VERN EMERY MOVED TO APPROVE THE AREA OF CITY IMPACT ORDINANCES/RESOLUTIONS. MAYOR KINGSFORD SECONDED THE MOTION AND IT PASSED WITH TERRY SMITH AND BOB SPENCER VOTING AGAINST THE MOTION. MOTION: COMMISSIONER VERN EMERY MOVED THAT THE AREA OF CITY IMPACT ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS BE RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND TO THE MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL. MAYOR KINGSFORD SECONDED THE MOTION AND IT PASSED WITH TERRY SMITH AND BOB SPENCER VOTING AGAINST THE MOTION. r{r MERIDIAN AREA OF CITY. MINUTES OF MAY 7, 1984 Page 3. IMPACT COMM. There was discussion on whether the proposed Meridian Area of City impact Ordinances/Resolutions would be acceptable to the general public in Meridian. Commissioner Emery was particularly concerned that the Meridian Chamber of Commerce as represented by Terry Smith and the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission as represented by Bob Spencer would oppose adoption of the Area of City Impact. He stated that if there was a strong possibility that the ordinance would not be adopted he was prepared to scrap the recom- mendation of the Area of City.Impact Committee and start over again at. square one► Mr. Smith and Mr. Spencer stated that they were only representing their own personal views and could not speak for the Meridian Chamber of Commerce or the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission. Mayor Kingsford and Councilman Brewer stated that they thought the concept was sellable and they should proceed with the public hearings on the proposed ordinances/resolutions. After some additional discussion Mr. Gerber was directed as Secretary of the Committee to prepare a letter to the Meridian City Council and to the Board of County Commissioners notifying them of the recommendation of the Committee. According to Idaho Code. the City Council and the Board of County Commissioners would have to act upon the recommendation within 60 days of receipt. Mr. Crookston thought that "act upon the recommendation" meant approve or deny the recommendation. Mr. Gerber explained that he would redraft the ordinance to reflect the changes approved by the Committee and draft a notice of public hearing. The ordinance, resolutions, map and hearing notice would-be submitted to the Prosecuting Attorney's Office for review before the notice of hearing would be published in the paper. Mr. Gerber stated that he would forward a copy. of all of the above mentioned documents to Meridian as soon as he had completed them. An.InURNMFNT The meeting adjourned at approximately 4:30 P.M.

MINUTES APPROVAL MOTION: Commissioner Bill Gratton moved that the minutes of November 28, 1983, be approved. Terry Smith seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. OLD BUSINESS 1. Meridian Area of City Impact Map Mr. Gerber described the two maps that were mailed to the committee. The first was orginally prepared by the committee in October 1983. The second map showed the additional area that Meridian was now considering as an amendment to it's Urban Service Planning Area. (The amendment area can generally be described as lying between the old Urban Service Planning Area boundry of Meridian, and the Boise Area of Impact, a line one quarter mile west of Cloverdale Rd.) Mr -Crookston pointed out that the new Urban Service Planning Area boundry on the north was not the South Slough but was a line one quarter mile south of Ustick Rd. Mayor Grant Kingsford, Mr. Gerber, and Mr. Gross, described the meeting that they had had in February to discuss Meridians proposed new Urban Service Planning Area. As a result of that discussion, Mayor Kingsford has suggested that Meridian's Comprehensive Plan would only apply in the city limits of Meridian, and that all of the unincorporated area in Meridian's Area of City Impact should be governed by the County's Rural Area policies. -2 - Bill Brewer entered the meeting at 3:50 p.m. There was a great deal of discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of the County using the new larger Urban Service Planning Area. Even though the County would be using Meridian's Plan, it still would make the final decision on whether an application was or was not in compliance with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Any decision by the County Commissioners may or may not be consistant with Meridians interpretation of it's Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Gerber indicated that the idea of Meridian using the larger Urban Service Planning Area and the County applying Rural Area policies to all of the Area of City Impact, would have to be explored more fully by legal coun- cil. Wayne Crookston indicated that he did not see any problem with the City using one set of policies and the County using another set of policies. He knew of nothing in the Local Planning Act nor of any case law which would prohibit such an agreement. The committee discussed how Industry could be encouraged to come in to the Meridian area. Mayor Kingsford stated that good industries would want to be annexed and become part of the city. On the other hand the County may be asked to approve fly-by-night development which Meridian might not want to locate within it's Area of City Impact. Terry Smith and Bob Spencer stated that industry might be discouraged from coming to Meridian, if all new development had annex to the City. This would be especially true if the property could not be annexed to Meridian and the County could only review the development.under the County's Rural Area policies. The County Commissioners asked the Mayor and members of the City Council what they wanted for the City. MOTION: Mayor Kingsford moved that the Committee approve the new Meridian Urban Service Planning Area to apply within the City of Meridian and the County Comprehensive Plan Rural Area policies to apply to the unin- corporated parts of the Meridian Area of City Impact. David Davenport seconded the motion and it passed with Terry Smith and Bob Spencer opposing it. MOTION: Councilman Brewer moved that the Committee approve the Meridian Area of City Impact Map including the referal areas. Mayor Kingsford seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. ,3 - The Committee directed Sheldon Gerber and Wayne Crookston to redraft the written part of the Area of City Impact Ordinances reflecting the map that as approved by the Committee. The Committee would meet again after the ordinances had been redrafted.

Meridian Area of City Impact Map Chairman Spencer asked if there were any comments about the map. Commissioner Gratton stated that with the addition of the referral area to the northeast of Meridian, the map appeared to be okay. 2. Meridian Area of Impact Ordinance Text Wayne Crookston indicated that he had met with Scott Campbell and Sheldon Gerber to discuss Meridian's proposal to remove the Urban Service Planning Area boundary from the Comprehensive Plan and adopt a separate Urban Service Planning Area ordinance which would be cross-referenced within the Comprehensive Plan and within the Area of City Impact ordinance. Mr. Crookston stated that there did not appear to be any requirements in state law about either including or excluding references to an Urban Service Planning Area. However, it was the County's Intent to have some type of line drawn In the Area of Impact Agreement which identified where Meridian's Comprehensive Plan policies would be applied and where the County's Rural Area Policies would be applied. It was not necessary this line be called "an Urban Service Planning Area boundary. It could, for example, be called an "Immediate Area of City Impact". Minutes - MACI November 28, 1983 Page 2 Mr. Crookston also suggested the possibility of defining Meridian's Urban Service Planning Area as only Including the city limits. For the land surrounding the city limits but inside the Immediate Area of City Impact, the County would use Meridian's Comprehensive Plan policies. Commissioner Riddle entered the meeting at 3:52 p.m. Meridian believed that use of the term Urban Service Planning Area implied that the City had an obligation to provide services to an area upon request. Since Meridian only had intentions of .providing services to its immediate corporated limits, it would then seem appropriate to limit the Urban Service Planning Area boundary to the city limits. Scott Campbell agreed that there was no prohibition in the Local Planning Act from doing what was suggested by Meridian. However, the County would be establishing a new precedent in adopting such an Area of City Impact agreement. All the previous Area of Impact Agreements had identified an Urban Service Planning Area where the City's Comprehensive Plan policies would apply. If the County departed from past policy, the other cities could also request various alternative boundaries to an Urban Service Planning area to be included within their Area of City Impact ordinances. Commissioner Gratton indicated that it would be a burden upon the County Zoning staff to have to implement different sets of ordinances for each of the five cities of Ada County. Mr. Gerber quoted Section 67-6526 (Paragraph d) of the Local Planning Act "Areas of City Impact Plan and ordinance requirements shall remain fixed until both governing boards agree to renegotiate". In other words, an Urban Service Planning Area (USPA) ordinance cross-referenced in an Area of Impact ordinance remains fixed until the Area of Impact Ordinance is changed. Even though the USPA Ordinance may be amended, this is not recognized automati- cally in the Area of City Impact Ordinance. Councilman Kingsford stated that it was Meridian's intent to have a smaller USPA boundary, maybe even as small as the city limits. On the other hand, there would be a larger Immediate Area of Impact where Meridian's Comprehensive Plan applied. If this Immediate Area of Impact boundary is large enough, it will not have to be amended within the Area of Impact Ordinance every time Meridian decides to extend services to new industry. Since the Urban Service Planning Area would be small, then Meridian would not be making an commitment to provide services to new development upon demand. Scott Campbell indicated that if the City changes its USPA boundary or any of the terms of the Area of Impact Ordinance, the Area of Impact Ordinance has to be renegotiated. The County can only implement Meridian's policies If they are recognized in the Area of Impact Ordinance and the City cannot change the rules of the game without renegotiating the Area of Impact Ordinance as is required in State Code. Minutes - MACI November 28, 1983 Page 3 Chairman Spencer emphasized Meridian's concern that designating a large Urban Service Planning Area on a map would obligate the City to provide services to any and all development. Meridian did not want to mislead individuals and promise services which they may not be able to deliver now. Someday in the future Meridian may want to provide services to these areas, however. Scott Campbell asked how long it would take developers to see that the City and County were only changing the name of the Urban Service. Planning Area but that the game was the same since Meridian's Comprehensive Plan policies still applied. As long as Meridian's Comprehensive Plan policies apply, there was some sort of commitment.to providing services at some point in the future. It is not possible for the County to allow one use because it is a desirable development and deny another use because it is an undesirable development if both developments areas are within the same service area and are being looked at under the same policies. Commissioner Gratton indicated that he could not support adopting an Area of Impact Ordinance which encouraged the County to make arbitrary and capri- cious decisions. He also stated that he could not support an Area of Impact Ordinance which put an unreasonable administrative burden on the County Zoning staff. He felt very strongly that the County must follow the con- cepts of an Urban Service Planning Area and that the County's rural area ordinances apply outside of the Urban Service Planning Area. Bill Brewer stated that it might be unreasonable for the City to ask the County to do away with Urban Service Planning Area policies. This would be breaking past County policy with the other cities and may not be practical for the County to implement. David Davenport stated that if the Area of Impact policies were too flexible, then it may only encourage marginal development to occur which can't afford to extend services. These marginal industries might prosper in good times and go bankrupt in bad economic times, leaving the City holding the bag for the cost of services. Bill Brewer indicated that he thought most large desirable industries did a lot of advance research and gave advance notice to City officials before they made their decisions to locate in a given area. Terry Smith stated that he did not want to discourage growth that may want to locate outside of an Urban Service Planning area. It may be desirable to have a larger Urban Service Planning Area and instead rely upon the policies of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan to give Meridian and the County control over the situation. Commissioner Gratton stated that it was still possible to amend the City Comprehensive Plan every six months to take into consideration new develop- ments as they might occur. Minutes - MACI November 28, 1983 Page 4 Councilman Brewer stated that the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission members would have to meet to see where they wanted to put their Urban Service Planning Area boundaries. He thought it was desirable for the City to stick to using the Urban Service Planning area concept in the Comprehensive Plan and within the Area of City Impact Ordinance. Wayne Crookston indicated that the City would have to readvertise for the public hearing to amend the Comprehensive Plan to enlarge the USPA boundary to include the Upland Annexation. Originally, the December 5, 1983 hearing was advertised to remove the USPA designation from the Comprehensive Plan. SET NEXT AGENDA The Committee decided to have its next meeting on January 9, 1984.

BERT MYERS ROBERT GIESLER MAX YERRINGTON Chairman Zoning & Planning JIM JOHNSON The members of the City Council and the Planning & Zoning Commission recently had a joint meeting to discuss several issues that have come up, including the Meridian/Boise Area of Impact Boundary. The members of the Council and Commission feel strongly that the Boise Area of Impact should not extend West of Eagle Road. It was their consensus that a state highway such as Eagle Road would provide an excellent place to end a Area of Impact Boundary. The State Highway Department would not allow the sewer and water lines to go down the center of the road, therefore it would be very expensive to serve both sides of the state highway. When we met back in November, your staff talked about the building of a additional Fire Station out in the Centennial Area and advised this would serve a circular area, it seems by going across Eagle Road this defeats that theory. 1 would have to agree with the members of the Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission that the Boise City Area of Impact should end at Eagle Road.

Idaho Avenue Meridian, Idaho 83642 RE: Boise Meridian Area of Impact Boundary Dear Grant: 0",4K I have reviewed your concern with the proposed Boise City Area of ���® Impact boundary and discussed it with several city and county / representatives. We are all surprised that you were surprised. As you recall, several of us from Boise City met with you and other City of Meridian representatives on November 13, 1990 to discuss impact area boundaries in the subject area. It was clear to the City contingent that you wanted the Meridian boundary extended northward to the quarter section line south of McMillan Road. I do not recall that you had any concern with Boise City extending the impact area westward as long as it was north of Meridian's east/ west boundary along the quarter section line south of McMillan. The developer of the Boise Research Center has acquired property from the west boundary of that development all the way to Eagle Road. This developer has requested that the Boise City Area of Impact be extended to Eagle Road to allow the expansion of the Research Center to occur within Boise City. It is my understanding that the Boise Research Center plans on submitting an annexation request for this expansion as soon as the Area of Impact boundary changes are resolved. Our experience indicates it is not very efficient or even feasible to place Area of Impact boundaries along major roadways. As the area develops, the west side of Eagle Road will also request services. It is difficult to justify the installation of sewer lines and other utilities if services are limited to one side of the street. CITY HALL • 150 NORTH CAPITOL BOULEVARD • P.O.
