Re: Weiss Property - Eagle Road s/o Ustick
Dear Mr. Unger:
The City Council of Meridian heard a presentation by Robert Montgomery regarding the above -
referenced property on May 16, 1995. The Meridian City Council voted to write a letter of
favorable recommendation to Ada County with conditions that there be adequate screening
(landscaping) and that provision for a future easement for the South Slough sewer extension be
made. It should also be noted that our Comprehensive Plan designates the South Slough as a
future pathway and that a school and park site are needed in this section. This approval does
not, however, include hookup to any Boise City services.
Minutes of the meeting are attached for your information. Please do not hesitate to contact me
if you have any questions.

ITEM #19: ROBERT MONTGOMERY: PRESENTATION OF PROPOSED STORAGE
FACILITY WITHIN MERIDIAN CITY AREA OF IMPACT:
Montgomery: It has been a long evening so I will be very brief, I am here, my name is Bob
Montgomery and I am here on behalf of Steve and Lavon White (End of Tape) Mr. Bob
Unger and he indicated to us before Ada County would with the review of the project that
they needed some indication from the City of Meridian as to their feelings about this
because the Comprehensive Plan at the site of their property I believe calls for a single
family residences. So, Mr. Unger suggested that we visit with the Council and get some
indication from them or at least an indication that they didn't object to a review by Ada
County to proceed onward with the project. So, Mr. Steve Wiess is here and he would like
to explain very briefly what the project is and what they are planning.
Weirs: I will try to make this as brief as I possibly can. On your Comprehensive Plan you
will notice on the right hand side up near the outer border,there is a red mark next to one
of your I believe it is a proposed park. That is our property, it is located at 2500 North
Eagle Road. It consists of 12 adzes. it is a very irregular shape and we are severely limited
by the slough on the north side and an irrigation lateral on the south side regarding
Meridian City Council
May 16, 1995
Page 68
ingress/egress. We would not be accessible to the properties on either side -of behind us
because they are literally the first spot from the division of the slough to an irrigation
lateral. And it is very narrow at the back of the property and very wide towards the front.
The second page is the aerial photograph taken by the Idaho Transportation Department
in March 1994, again outlining the property boundaries that we currently have. You can
see the development in the area. What we want to do is provide a service for the
continuing growth of the Meridian area and allow people to meet with the covenants of the
subdivisions and such of the single family dwellings around us to have a place to park
there excess vehicles, motor homes, boats. It is excess storage units instead of filling their
garage and parking on the street they would have another place to locate those extra
items. The third page if you unfold it is a preliminary landscape. Shari indicated that there
would need to be some extensive landscaping. Idaho Transportation Department does
have plans in fiscal year 1996 to widen that section of highway. They have already
purchased 70 feet from us for the entire length of our frontage which is I believe 212 feet,
nearly 213. Idaho Power, unbeknownst to Ada County was quite surprised and somewhat
dismayed over the fact that they are running a major transmission line down that section
of road. They evidently, indicated they thought it was possibly going to be a buried line.
Anyway we are limited on the constraints of the irrigation canals, the slough, the progress
that is coming our direction as to what we can do with that property. Being as it is such a
small parcel of ground single family dwellings after we put in street and curb and gutter
and utilities and what not wouldn't be a viable option for us.
Kingsford: Roughly how many acres are you looking at there?
Weirs: The entire parcel that we own is 12 acres, what we are looking at doing is
developing 7 acres in possibly 2 different stages. We would put in an entirety of 600
storage individual storage units along that, that includes RV -and outside covered storage
for different vehicles and what not.
Kingsford: That is your intended use for the whole parcel?
Weirs: Yes, right now We have a plan of doing the 7 acres in possibly within the next, 5
to 10 years, we would go ahead and extend it on back. Currently we have a residence on
that property, 3000 square foot house with a tote car garage and the remaining 5 acres
until such time as they are ready to develop the rest of it would remain a rural setting we
might put one steer out there on grass or something like that. i do have a preliminary, it
didn't get into your little thing here but i do have a preliminary outline of what the entire
land would be consumed of if you would like to see that?
Kingsford: Go ahead.

Weirs: This is the entire piece of ground, the boundary lines, the slough and this is how
much of it we would be developing right away. The remainder of the residence and the
pasture back here (inaudible).
Morrow. Type°of construction of the buildings? If we looked around Ada County and the
cities in Ada County what would this project most look like in terms of building
construction?
Weirs: Most of the storage facilities in Ada County are a frame with a metal covering, we
are looking at doing it out of block or concrete (inaudible) so that it is a more permanent
more pleasing, easier to design as far as making it easy on the eye and what not for
people to come by and to rent and what not.
Morrow. Based on what you are saying these would be very similar to the ones that are
being built currently on State Street?
Weirs: Yes, very much so, the buildings of course would be much longer and what not
because we do have more room to work with but yes they would be very up class.
Morrow. Just east of Coilister7
Weirs: Yes, they would all be surrounded with a cyclops security fence, we would go
ahead with that all the way around our property line. Problems we have right now with
other types of developments that we have considered you know we owned this property
since 1969, 1 grew up ori ,it, I used to hunt and fish around it, you can't do that any more.
Livestock is a problem because Eagle Road is going to become such a busy thoroughfare
that if we did have an animal get out onto the highway the liability would be atrocious. The
surrounding neighborhoods have got dogs and what not that come in and attack young
calves in the spring. I don't know if I should say this but I have shot several dogs in the
years past before there were many homes around. As far as growing a crop it is a very
small parcel of ground, (inaudible) farmers are hard to come by. Things are changing we
can't put in a sewer system we can't put in water because it is not available and this would
be the way for the property to help pay for itself, increase the Meridian City's tax base in
the years ahead and a benefit to the future development of the area.
Corrie: Have you run this by the Fire department yet?
Weirs: I talked to Mr. Voss about it because I needed to talk to him about what type of fire
protection, fire suppression would need to be detailed into the plans as we go along. He
indicated that internal sprinkler system would not be necessary. That there would need to
be fire hydrants with a minimum of 1500 gallons per minute for the fire trucks in case of
Meridian City Council
May 16, 1995
Page 70
some sort of horrendous disaster. But he did indicated also that if we discussed it with the
fire department overseeing Council or whatever it.was that he was talking about at the time
there could be`a possibility they could waive it until such time as the City water did come
our way. Now if you look in your Comprehensive Plan half mile north of us on the south
west comer, well actually I guess it would be the northeast corner of Eagle and Ustick
Road you do have a proposed well to go in there for City water. He kind of indicated they
might be able to work something out if we get your approval, if Ada County is willing to
work with us that we could go ahead an stem in all the systems and everything and then
when the water came by we could just hook up to it.
Kingsford: Either of those ditches that are adjacent to you are they live ditches year
round?
Weirs: The Slough on the north side had been a live ditch for years, the last 3 years it is
dry from before Thanksgiving until May. I don't know if it is because the water table has
dropped, I actually had Health and Welfare tell me that at one time the water table out
there was 2 feet deep and our house sits 4 feet in the ground and I said I don't think so.
It has been live in the past and we used to water' livestock out of it and it has been dry in
the last 3 years in the winter time.
Corrie: You will probably have to run that by Rural fire and I don't know what they will tell
you.
Kingsford: Of course that is one of the things that Ada County gives them approval that
they will have to meet.
Weirs: An option we may have is to drill a well that will pump whatever required water.
Basically what we are asking for right now is a preliminary (inaudible) from the Council that
would indicate in a letter form to Ada County Planning and Zoning that you wouldn't
necessarily stand in the way for us to go ahead with this project.
Kingsford: Any further questions of the Council? Is there a motion?
Smith: Mr. Mayor, 1 would just like to make a comment that the South Slough is one of our
designated locations for a trunk sewer. We don't at this point know where that sewer is
going to be exactly other than the Comprehensive Plan shows the trunk sewer route.
Whether it is on this gentleman's property or on the other side of the slough I don't know.
But in terms of locating your buildings I would request that you give consideration to
enough space so that a sewer line could go through if necessary. At least the option is
available to be located there. Typically we try to stay within the easement that has been
designated by Nampa Meridian Irrigation District who maintains that ditch, I don't know
Meridian City Council
May 16, 1995
Page 71
what that width is at that point, it varies up and down the ditches.
Weirs: On the Slough Meridian I don't believe has an easement they just asked if they
could enter our property to cut the trees and to drudge out the area that is plugged. On the.
south side of our property where the irrigation lateral is there is a lane that goes down on
our property that they do maintain. That is another problem with the progress of the area
as we have a lot of people running their dogs and riding their horses and riding bicycles
and motorcycles up and down that lane and again we have a liability problem there if they
trip and fall through a gofer hole and break their leg they are going to sue me not Ada
County or Nampa Meridian Irrigation. So again this would fence this material, it would no
longer be irrigated on that front portion that i showed you here on this map. The remaining
back portion would still be accessible to Nampa Meridian for maintenance on those
surfaces.
Kingsford: I think Gary's point is we would like to have access and be able to put a sewer
line there.
Weirs: At this point in time we are looking at possibly having a driveway back to the home
that is there right now. if we go ahead with possible purchase of another piece of property
adjacent to us if they are willing there will be a 25 foot driveway down the side there that
will be paved and you can put your sewer line in under that. When we develop on it will
not be a problem.
Corrie: What minor change is required (inaudible).
Weirs: You have single dwelling homes in that area and we are going to commercial. i
am assuming it is a commercial set up. You have on your comprehensive plan you have
mixed use and commercial within possibly a 1000 feet -of us on the north and the south.
It is just again a small parcel of ground that if somebody were to buy it and try to develop
it and put homes on it, it wouldn't pay.
Kingsford: I don't know so long as it is green I don't know that it necessarily would be a
violation of our comprehensive plan. The request is for a letter from the Council to Ada
County P & Z, is there a motion?
Morrow: Mr. Mayor, I would move that we send a letter to the Ada County P & Z with a
favorable recommendation subject to a couple of conditions. The one of course being the
completion of the screening and secondly that Ada County P & Z as a condition of
approval stipulate some future easement area for sewer line access as per Mr. Smith's
recommendations. That is a decision that he needs to make.

ITEM #20: TERRY ADAMS:
Kingsford: Mr. Adams is the current •ho.lder of the Foreign Trade Zone in Meridian. We
have had some discussion with Port of Lewiston and he wants to make a presentation to
Council with regard to granting that transfer to, Port of Lewiston for use of the Foreign
Trade Zone. I will let him speak to that issue.
Adams: Thank you, first I thought it would be in .order to do a quick review of the Foreign
Trade Zone. One, the goal is to assist existing international business by providing an area
outside of the US jurisdiction so that any raw products that are imported in the United
States are not assessed a duty so long as those goods are used in the manufacture of a
finished good which is then being exported. Second, there was an assumption that the
real potential in this area lay in the ability to provide this capability to existing businesses
that their existing location not expecting them to build a new facility just to come inside of
this zone so to speak. And that we would do so by granting special purpose sub -zone
licenses fo those existing businesses. There was a further assumption that any facility that
was physically placed within the Treasure Valley Business Park which is designated in the
original application as the geographical boundary that any facility would most likely be in
the form or an administration building only. It was a further assumption made that
believed that we did not see that just because this was zone was granted that we would
see an immediate rush to participate in that. I think that last assumption has proven very
much true. Currently I have been approached by the Port of Lewiston and also Inland 465.
Inland 465 is a warehousing venture a limited partnership comprised of Phost Maritime
which operates the barges from Lewiston to Portland. Lewiston Grain Growers and Ken
Cook who is alias manager of West Best Trucking based in Lewiston. The Port of Lewiston
is serviced by Union Pacific and the Burlington Northern. Terminal #2 of which the
warehouse is a part is 150 acres consisting of barge docks, container transload facilities,
there are 10 truck lines and 11 international container companies represented there. The
warehousing facility is 150,000 square feet of multi -module warehousing. Both Inland 465
and the Port of Lewiston are interested in obtaining the Foreign Trade Zone status. The
granteeship of an FTZ I think needs to be understood is really not a commodity this isn't
something that is sold such as real estate. It appears we have some options here, one

Weirs: l talked to Mr. Voss about it because I needed to talk to him about what type of fire
protection, fire suppression would need to be detailed into the plans as we go along. He
indicated that internal sprinkler system would not be necessary. That there would need to
be ire hydrants with a minimum of 1500 gallons per minute for the fire trucks in case of

some sort of horrendous disaster. But he did indicated also that if we discussed it with the
fire department overseeing Council or whatever it was that he was talking about at the time
there could be a possibility they could waive it until such time as the City water did come
our way. Now if you look in your Comprehensive Plan half mile north of us on the south
west comer,* well actually I guess it would be the northeast corner of Eagle and Ustick
Road you do have a proposed,well to go in there€or City water. He kind of indicated they
might be able to work something out if we get your approval, if Ada County is willing to
work with us that_we could go ahead.an stem,,in all the systems and everything and then
when the water came by wecouldjust hook up to it.
Kingsford: Either .of those ditches ,that are adjacent to you are they live ditches year
round? _
Weirs: The Slough on the north side had been,a..live ditch,for years, the last 3,years it is_
dry from before Thanksgiving until May. I don't know if it is because the water table has
dropped, i actually had Health and Welfare tell me, that ai 'one f time the water table out
there was 2 feet deep and our house sits 4 feet.in the, ground' and I said I don't think so.
It has Ibeen live in the past and we used to water livestock out of it and it has been dry in
the last 3 years in the winter time.
a
a
Corrie:. You will probably have to run that by Rural fire and i don't know what they will tell
you.
Kingsford: Of course that is one of the things that Ada Cdunty, gives them approval `that
they will have to meet
Weirs: An option we may have is to drilla well that will pump whatever required water.
Basically what we are asking for right now is a preliminary (inaudible) from the Council that
would indicate in a letter form to Ada County Planning and Zoning that you wouldn't
necessarily stand in the way for us to go ahead with this project.
Kingsford: Any.further questions of the Council? is there a motion?.
Smith: Mr..Mayor; i would just like to make a,comment that the.South Slough is one of our,
designated ,locations for a trunk sewer. We don't at this point know where that sewer is
going to be exactly other than the Comprehensive Plan shows the trunk sewer route.
Whether;it is on this gentleman's property,or on the other side of the slough'] don't know.
But in terms of locating your buildings I would request that you give, consideration. to
enough space so that- a sewer line could go through if necessary. At least the option is
avaiiable to be located there. Typically we try to stay within the easement that has been
designated by Nampa Meridian Irrigation District who maintains that ditch, i don't know,
4
Meridian City Council
May 16, 1995
Page 71
what that width is at that point, it varies up and down the ditches.
Weirs: On the Slough Meridian I don't believe has an easement they just asked if they
could enter our property to cut the trees and to drudge out the area that is plugged. On the
south side of our property where the irrigation lateral is there is a lane that goes down on
our property that they do maintain. That is another problem with the progress of the area
as we have a lot of people running their dogs and riding their horses and riding bicycles
and motorcycles up and down that lane and again we have a liability problem there if they
trip and fall through a gofer hole and break their leg they are going to sue me not Ada
County or Nampa Meridian Irrigation. So again this would fence this material, it would no
longer be irrigated on that front portion that I showed you here on this map. The remaining
back portion would still be accessible to Nampa Meridian for maintenance on those
surfaces.
Kingsford: I think Gary's point is we would like to have access and be able to put a sewer
line there.
Weirs: At this point in time we are looking at possibly having a driveway back to the home
that is there right now. if we go ahead with possible purchase of another piece of property
adjacent to us if they are willing there will be a 25 foot driveway down the side there that
will be paved and you can put your sewer line in under that. When we develop on it will
not be a problem.
Corrie: What minor change is required (inaudible).
Weirs: You have single dwelling homes in that area and we are going to commercial. i
am assuming it is a commercial set up. You have on your comprehensive plan you have
mixed use and commercial within possibly a 1000 feet -of us on the north and the south.
It is just again a small parcel of ground that if somebody were to buy it and try to develop
it and put homes on it, it wouldn't pay.
Kingsford: I don't know so long as it is green i don't know that it necessarily would be a
violation of our comprehensive plan. The request is for a letter from the Council to Ada
County P & Z, is there a motion?
Morrow. Mr. Mayor, i would move that we send a letter to the Ada County P & Z with a
favorable recommendation subject to a couple of conditions. The one of course being the
completion of the screening and secondly that Ada County P & Z as a condition of
approval stipulate some future easement area for sewer line access as per Mr. Smith's
recommendations. That is a decision that he needs to make.

Kingsford: Moved by Walt, second by Ron to approve or to write a letter of favorable
recommendation to Ada County Planning and Zoning with 2 stipulations one that have
adequate screening and two that there be provided future easement on South Slough for
sewer extension, all those in favor? Opposed?
MOTION CARRIED: All Yea
ITEM #20: TERRY ADAMS:
Kingsford: Mr. Adams is the current holder of the Foreign Trade Zone in Meridian. We
have had some discussion with Port of Lewiston and he wants to make a presentation to
Council with regard to granting that transfer to Port of Lewiston for use of the Foreign
Trade Zone. I will let him speak.to that issue.
Adams: Thank -you, first I thought it would be in .order to do a quick review of the Foreign
Trade Zone. One, the goal is to assist existing international business by providing an area
outside of the US jurisdiction so that any raw products that are imported in the United
States are not assessed a duty so long as those goods are used in the manufacture of a
finished good which is then being exported. Second, there was an assumption that the
real potential in this area lay in the ability to provide this capability to existing businesses
that their existing location not expecting them to build a new facility just to come inside of
this zone so to speak. And that we would do so by granting special purpose sub -zone
licenses fo those existing businesses. There was a further assumption that any facility that
was physically placed within the Treasure Valley Business Park which is designated in the
original application as the geographical boundary that any facility would most likely be in
the form or an administration building only. It was a further assumption made that 1.
believed that we did not see that just because this was zone was granted that we would
see an immediate rash to participate in that. I think that last assumption has proven very
much true. Currently I have been approached by the Port of Lewiston and also Inland 465.
Inland 465 is a warehousing venture a limited partnership comprised of Phost Maritime
which operates the barges from Lewiston to Portland. Lewiston Grain Growers and Ken
Cook who is alias manager of West Best Trucking based in Lewiston. The Port of Lewiston
is serviced by Union Pacific and the Burlington Northern. Terminal #2 of which the
warehouse is a part is 150 acres consisting of barge docks, container transload facilities,
there are 10 truck lines and 11 international container companies represented there. The
warehousing facility its 150,000 square feet of multi -module warehousing. Both Inland 465
and the Port of Lewiston are interested in obtaining the Foreign Trade Zone status. The
granteeship of an FTZ I think needs to be understood is really not a commodity this isn't
something that is sold such as real estate. it appears we have some options here, one

The Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District has reviewed the pians for the above-mentioned
project. The pians indicate that all drainage will be retained on site and this is acceptable to the
District, however the plans also indicate that you are encroaching within the District's easement
area of the Eightmile Lateral for a parking area and this will require a License Agreement.
Please contact -the` District's attorney, Mr. Bryce Farris at 3424.591 and ask that he prepare a
License Agreement for eiicroachmen .'- Once this document has been signed it will be presented
to the District s`Bodid` of'Direetors for their consideration at the next available board meeting.
Once the board of Directors has approved the License Agreement, construction may begin.
Please feel free to contact me if you feel filrther discussion is required.

Bentley: Thank you;,
Corrie: Okay, any other questions for staff. Since Mr. Hickey is not here, can't talk to
him. Now I'll entertain a motion on the final plat of Oliason Park Subdivision.
Bentley: Mr. Mayor, move we approve the final plat for Oliason Park Subdivision by
Tony Hickey.
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded that we approve the final plat for"Oliason Park
Subdivision by Tony Hickey, any further discussion. Hearing none, all those in favor of
the motion say aye.,
MOTION CARRIED;: All ayes.
ITEM NO. 23: APPEAL OF PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION'S DENIAL OF
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT BY PINNACLE ENGINEERS:
Corrie: Since they are not here, I recommend`that we table that.
-
Bird: I move that we table the appeal of Planning and Zoning Commission denial of
Comprehensive Plan Amendment by Pinnacle Engineers till April 20, 1999.
Corrie: I've got a motion, do I hear a second?
Bentley: Second.
Corrie: Motion made and seconded that we table Item No. 23 till 4=20-99. Any further
discussion?
Rountree: Mr. Mayor, I would assume that these folks knew this was going on, if they
are not here, I don't see any reason why we can't take action on this unless there is
great amount of discussion on the part of the council. My recommendation would be to
take action on it this evening and get -it over with, unlesswe need some more input, it
seems pretty clear in here what has gone on. We've got a (Inaudible) conclusion from
out city attorney and a basis for the denial.
Bentley: I agree.
s.
Bird: I'll go with that.
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING

Rountree: Mr. Counselor can we do that?
r ,
Gigray: Mayor and members of the council, I assume tonight they were given notice
that tonight was the night set for hearing of the appeal and they have the duty of
prosecuting that appeal if they requested a continuance and there had been approval
that such continuance would be given then I would say continue it. Otherwise, I think
you could move forward with it.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor, the City Clerk has indicated that he's made a telephone call to
Mr. Unger=on the 5th, of April. I guess the question for the city clerk is was a message
left or was there contact made?
Berg:. Mr. Mayor and member of the council, the staff calls each applicant when their
packet is ready and either (eaves a message or talks to them personally saying the
packet is ready for a certain meeting, so I'm sure Mr. Unger was left either a message
or he was talked to in person, I don't have that indicated on my report, but he does work
for Pinnacle Engineering so I'm sure there was something left on the 5th (Inaudible) this
was ready to be brought before the City Council tonight.
Corrie: Okay, does that change your mind Mr. Gigray at all?
Gigray: No.
Corrie: Rather than going through the table of motion, if you would like to (Inaudible).
Bird: I never had a second.
Corrie: Yeah we did.
Bird: Oh we did? I'll withdraw my motion.
i
Bentley: I'll withdraw the second.
Corrie: Okay, I'll entertain another motion to appeal to the Planning and Zoning
Commission's denial of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment by Pinnacle Engineers.
Bentley: I move that we deny the'appeal of the Planning and Zoning Commission's
denial of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment by Pinnacle Engineers.
Bird: I'll second that.
Corrie: Motion made that we denial the appeal denial. Any further discussion? Hearing
none, all those in favor of the motion to refuse the appeal say aye.
MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING

MOTION CARRIED: All ayes.
Bentley: Mr. Mayor, question for the clerk, would it be possible when you notify these
people to put a footnote on the coversheet the date they were notified.
Berg: Mr. -Mayor, Councilman Bentley, on the copy—the original copy that I have after
we have made the packets and distributed them to thecouncilmen, we, write down that
we made the phone call and when we made the phone call on our original sheet,
because we sometimes can't do that until Monday morning after the packets are
sometimes down late Friday.
Bentley: So was that noted on yours?
Berg: Yes it is
Bentley: All right, that's all I wanted to know.
Berg: That's how communicate that. So we do it on the original packet, unfortunately
it's not copied on yours.
Bentley: Just so we have a record somewhere.
Gigray Mr. Mayor and members of the council,
on this appeal for your signature.
i
ITEM'NO. 24: AMENDED ORDINANCE #
Bird: I'll bet it's #820.
Corrie: I'll bet it is too. Do we have it?
I'll prepare appropriate order of denial
--ADD ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF:
Bentley: Well, we've got a blank assistant chief.
Corrie: All right, Kenny?
Bowers: Mayor Corrie and City Council this ordinance stated that members of the
Meridian Fire Department was the Fire Chief, full time firefighters, and the volunteer pay
call people. We have changed that and we are going to hire an assistant chief, so we
need, to get the assistant chief in there and also the fire marshal, we need to get him in
there as members of the fire department. Also, this ordinance stated that we would only
hire within our volunteer ranks when we hired full time firefighters and possibly this next
time around we might have to hire nine firefighters at one time so we are going to have
to go and open this up to outsiders also. Also this ordinance we wanted to make sure
we get in the readings and the language Human Resource Officer irrthe ordinance,. we
did not have her inthere and that's probably most of the changes.

3. 'The condition or situation which warrants a change being made in the Plan.
z
With the current Comprehensive Plan designation. of Single Family Residential on these
properties adjacent to Eagle Road, the development of these properties will be `severely
limited due to the traffic volumes creating noise and safety issues.
4. The public need for and benefit from such a change in the Plan.
The proposed change to the Mixed/PUD designation would allow a variety of development
.within this area through the Planned Development process requiring approval of a
conditional use. As defined within Section 2-408 B 17 of the Meridian Zoning and
Development Ordinance the (MUR) Mixed Use Review Areas are those areas which,
because of their unique location and varied potential need to be planned as a whole, have
been designated in the Meridian Comprehensive Plan as Mixed Use Review Areas. These
areas shall be developed as Planned Development General (PDG); and must be approved as a
conditional use. By granting this amendment, development in this corridor and in the general
area will provide general commercial services along Eagle Road including the extension of
public utilities such as sewer and water at no cost to the local taxpayers.
5. Documentation that no other solutions to the problem are presented by the current policy
of the Plan are possible or reasonable.
The current policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Map allow for single family residential
only in this area. Any proposed mixed use within this area would not be permitted due to
non-compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
6. Development intentions for any land involved.
We are contemplating the installation of a private indoor and outdoor storage facility on the
east side of Eagle Road approximately 1/2 mile north of Fairview Avenue. The Meridian
City Council supported this project in June 1995. We have initiated an Ada County Zoning
Ordinance Amendment to allow such a facility within the C2 zone of the County but are now
being told that a zone change to C-2 would not be in compliance with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan.
7. Any other data and information needed by the Planning and Zoning Commission in
evaluating the proposal, such as who does it help, who,does it hurt, how much is it going
to cost and who is going to pay for it.
This amendment will allow controlled development that is public service oriented along the
Eagle corridor. In addition, a mix of affordable housing and limited offices could be
provided through the PUD process. Since the property along this corridor is primarily vacant
Based upon the information provided above, we believe that this amendment is of benefit to
! •.
PROPOSED MERIDIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
TEXT AMENDMENT '
5. MIXED -PLANNED USE DEVELOPMENT
The Comprehensive Plan identifies"the following Mixed -Planned Use Development:
Old Town: As.the original townsite of the City of Meridian, it includes the area
E
south of Carlton Avenue, north of Franklin Road, and the areas that are immediately
contiguous to Meridian and East First Street, as defined by the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
Old Town should continue to serve as a shopping, as well as a governmental and
public activity center. In recognition that its shape and character will increase with
additional population growth -and development, the Comprehensive Plan sets the stage for
the re -development of Old Town to reflect market and economic trends. Probable mixed -
uses for Old Town include specialty commercial, higher density residential, offices, medical
facilities and public and semi-public facilities.
OLD TOWN POLICIES
5.1 The City of Meridian shall encourage existing business and commercial enterprises
to remain in Old Town.
5.2 Detailed market studies should be undertaken to explore and clarify issues related to
mixed-use development within Old Town.
t
5.3 The development of a variety of compatible land uses should be provided in plans
and proposals for the future development of Old Town.
5.4 Special analysis should be undertaken concerning existing uses within Old Town so
that specific recommendations can be made for the development of transitional uses
which will enhance the area and prevent future deterioration.
Y
5.5 Public parking development is a priority in Old Town.
Mixed -Use Areas Adjacent to I-84, Overland Road and Franklin Road
These areas are unique in that they are surrounded by arterials, immediately adjacent
to the freeway (I-84), are relatively level in topography, have a"distinct linear shape, and are
greatly affected by contiguous industrial, residential and commercial land uses. , In order
that compatible land uses and efficient use of the land might occur, this corridor. is
anticipated for a variety of planned, compatible mixed uses. Probable mixed uses for the
areas could be commercial, combined medium -to -high density residential, open space uses
(as a means to buffer highway noise), tourist lodging, industrial, office, medical, and related
land uses.
Franklin, Overland/I-84 Mixed Use Policies
5.6 The development of a variety of compatible land uses should be provide&in specific
plans and proposals for future development.
5.7 Detailed market studies should be undertaken to explore and clarify the issues that
are related to mixed-use development in these areas.
i
5.8 Development in these areas should be based on functional plans and proposals in
order to ensure that the proposed uses conform to the Comprehensive Plan policies
and are compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods.
5.9 The integrity and identity of any adjoining residential neighborhood should be
preserved through the use of buffering techniques, including screen plantings, open
space and other landscaping techniques.
5.10 Development should be conducted under Planned Unit Development procedures and
as conditional uses, especially when two or more differing uses are proposed.
5.11 The character, site improvements, and type of development should be harmonized
with previously -developed land in the area, and where located adjacent to or near
any existing residence or residential area, shall be harmonized with residential uses,
and all reasonable efforts shall be made to reduce the environmental impact on
residential area, including noise and traffic reduction.
5.12 Strip development within this mixed-use area is not in compliance with the goals and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
5.13 Clustering of uses and controlled access points along arterials and collector streets
will be required.
.5.14 Because these areas I are near I-84, Franklin and Overland Roads, high-quality visual
appearance is essential. All development proposals in this area will be subject to
development review guidelines and conditional use permitting procedures.
5.15 The mixed-use area in the vicinity of the Overland Road/Franklin Road/Eagle
Road/1-84 interchange is a priority development area.
Mixed -Use Area at Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue plus the Eagle Road Corridor North of
Fairview Avenue
These areas are within Ada County, but are rapidly becoming contiguous to the City Limits
of the City of Meridian. The area is characterized by large rural lots, and sparse
z
development pattern. In order that compatible land uses and efficient use of the land might
occur, this corridor is anticipated for a variety of planned, compatible mixed uses. Probable
_mixed uses for the areas could be highway commercial, combined low -to -high density
residential, open space uses, office, medical, and related land uses.: In order to stimulate
planned development in these areas, the following policies apply:
5.16 All development requests will be subjeci to development review and conditional use
permit processing to ensure neighborhood compatibility.
5.17 A variety of coordinated, planned and compatible land uses are desirable for this
area; including low -to -high density residential, office, and commercial land uses.
5.18 Existing residential properties will be protected from incompatible land -use
development in this area. Screening and buffers will be incorporated into all
development requests in this area.
5.19 A planned community shopping center is anticipated near the Eagle Road/Fairview
Avenue intersection.
Mixed -Use Area at Locust Grove Road and Fairview Avenue plus areas North of Fairview
Avenue
E
These areas are within Ada County but nearly surrounded by -the City of Meridian.
The area is characterized by large rural lots and a sparse development pattern. In order to
stimulate planned development in these areas, the following policies apply:
5,145.20 All development requests will be subject to development review and conditional
use permit processing to ensure neighborhood compatibility.

r
forth in the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan and Idaho Code § 67-6509.
3. The property which is the subject of the application for amendment is
described in said application and by this reference is incorporated herein as if set
forth in full.
4. The Applicant is Pinnacle Engineers, Inc., of 870 North Linder Road,
Suite B, Meridian, Idaho. The Applicant filed a written Comprehensive Plan
amendment application.
5. Pursuant to the application, the affected property is generally described
as a 2,900'x 800' corridor on either side of Eagle Road from the existing
Mixed/Planned Unit Development (PUD) designation at the intersections of Fairview
Avenue and Eagle Road and Usiicic Road and Eagle Road; the majority of the affected
property located in the proposed corridor is designated as Single Family Residential;

Comprehensive Plan of the City of Meridian, adopted December 21, 1993, Ord. No.
629-Jan.4, 1`994 and Maps and Ordinance establishing the Impact Area Boundary.
7. The Applicant requested the Comprehensive Plan amendment and the
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION AND
RECOMMENDATION COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT -
PINNACLE ENGINEERING, INC., - EAGLE ROAD CORRIDOR - 2
k t
application was not initiated at the request of the City of Meridian.
8. The proposed application requests a Comprehensive Plan amendment to
change the designation of the subject property from Single Family Residential to
Mixed/Planned Use Development. The designation change requires.an amendment
to the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Meridian as requested by the Applicant.
(City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan, pg. 78-79).
9. The Applicant testified at the public hearing that the particular
4 .
characteristics of the affected property make the amendment desirable. The
Applicant further testified that it would be appropriate to follow the Mixed Use
Designation at the intersections of Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue and Eagle Road
and Ustick Road, and connect that designation all the way between Fairview Avenue
and Ustick Road, going out approximately 800' from Eagle Road.,
10. The Assistant to the City Engineer, Bruce Freddeton, land the Meridian

through a Memorandum dated January 8, 1999, and by and through testimony
during the January 12, 1999, public hearing on this matter. Such report and
comments are hereby incorporated herein, as follows:
10.1. The Meridian Comprehensive Plan currently designates this area
as Single -Family Residential. The City will be contracting with a
private consultant early in !1999 to begin the process of updating
the Comprehensive Plan. More detailed 'policies need to be
adoptedregarding the Mixed/Planned Use Development areas, as
the designation has seemed to foster an "anything goes"
sentiment among developers. These areas should be developed as

RECOMMENDATION COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
PINNACLE ENGINEERING, INC., - EAGLE ROAD CORRIIDOR - 3
0
true mixed/planned use development areas, and not in a manner
that encourages strip development.
10.2. The South Slough Sewer Trunk line is proposed "to be constructed
through this area. Provision for a future easement for sewer
extension needs to be made. Also, the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan indicates that a school and park site are needed in this area.
10.3. Eagle Road is designated as a limited access corridor by the Idaho
Transportation Department. Extensive coordination among
} agencies needs to occur to study appropriate accesses and uses. A
proposed elementary school site is being annexed directly west of
the proposed storage facility site, and no access is approved to
Eagle Road as part of that development.
10.4. Sewer and water service would need to be extended to any
proposed development. At the present time, no City of Meridian
services are available to the site, and use of Boise City services
would not be permitted by the City of Meridian. Also; as Eagle
Road has just recently been constructed, there is a moratorium on
the cutting of any streets for utility extensions.
11. The Meridian dCity Water Department's recommendations are hereby
incorporated as follows:
11.1 The City should have another water source on-line to the affected
area prior to any more development.
12. The City of Meridian Fire Department's. recommendations are hereby
incorporated as follows:
12.1 All fire codes and requirements would have to be complied with.
12.2 A water system and hydrants would need to be installed in the
fi
affected area.
13. The proposed designation change within the subject application would,
in fact, require an amendment to .the Comprehensive Plan as determined by City

policy.
