Meridian Planning & Zoning 2. June 11, 1984
Item
3 Imput on Restaurant & Motel Development - High Company of Idaho
Mr. Kenneth Redenius - High Company of Idaho was present. Mr. Redenius
told the Commission that he was requesting their imput on the possibility
of a Restaurant & Motel Development on the property South of Johnson Rental .
Redenius said that the Motel would be a 100 room complex, with a 300 seat
meeting room. The restaurant would be a steak house style.
The property is currently not in the City.
Redenius said that High Company is prepared to bring in the sewer from
10 mile and bring in the water. They are also prepared to make improvement&
needed to Waltman Lane to bring it up to standards .
Spencer commented that he felt the biggest hurdle was that the Comp . Plan
states that Waltman Lane is the break between Residential and mixed use.
Crookston said that there really are no guideline, the plan was designed
to be flexible. That the Commission and Council could decide what was
reasonable.
The general concensus of the Commission was that this would be an ideal
location and just what Meridian needed.
Item
4 Consider Proposed Amendment to Comprehensive Plan
7 Lloyd Howe, Upland Industries , was present requesting imput from the
Commission.
Howe told the Commission that they are requesting that the Eastern Section
be designated fora regional Shopping Center.
Howe said that there are two potential developers interested in the site,
r:nd that both have submitted proposals contingent upon the Comp . Plan being
amended.
The general concensus of the Commission was that if the Comp. Plan was
amended to allow other areas to be designated for regional shopping centers ,
that a time frame of a year should be placed on those developments after
being approved by the Council .
Howe said that he agreed and this would be fair and acceptable.
The Motion was made by Morrow and seconded by Alidjani to set a special
meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission for July 5 , 1984 at 7 : 30 p .m. ,
to hold a work session on July 9 , 1984 at 6 :00 p.m. , and rule on if the
porposed amendment warrants further study at the regular meeting July 9 ,
1984 at 7: 30 p.m.
Motion Carried: Morrow, yea; Johnson, yea; Alidjani, yea;

BEFORE THE MERIDIAN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
i
UPLAND INDUSTRIES APPLICATION
TO AMEND THE MERIDIAN -
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
The above entitled application to amend the Meridian Comprehen-
sive Plan having come on for public hearing and the Planning and
Zoning Commission having held a workshop on said application, and
1 the Commission having heard any and all testimony that was submitte
and having duly considered the evidence and its own opinions and
the matter, the Planning and Zoning Commission makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1 . That notice of the public hearing on the application was
published for two (2) consecutive weeks prior to the said public
hearing scheduled for July 5 , 1984, the first publication of which
was fifteen (15) days prior to said hearing; that the matter was
duly considered at the July 5 , 1984 , hearing and was duly considere
by the Planning and Zoning Commission at its workshop held July 9 ,
1984, at 6 : 30 o' clock p.m. , which was a special meeting duly
noticed and announced publicly at the public hearing held July 5,
1984 ; that copies of all notices were available to newspapers,
Iand radio and television stations.
2 . That the property included in the application and the
AMBROSE.
‘ITZGERALD exact nature of the application is set forth in the application and

i
•
by this reference is incorporated herein as if set forth in full; _
that the property lies generally in the Southeast quadrant of the
intersection of Fairview Avenue and Eagle Road; that, in summary,
the application is to designate the site as a regional shopping
center site and to remove the residential reserve designation as
presently contained in the Comprehensive Plan.
3. That the land concerned in the application is contained
within the City limits ; that it is presently zoned industrial and
not commercial; that the Comprehensive Plan presently designates
the area within which the land is contained as the "Eastern
Industrial Review Area. "
4 . That at the public hearing held July 5 , 1984 , at 7: 30
o' clock p.m. , there was no public comment, either oral or written,
on the application.
' 5 . That the petitioner sets forth as reasons why the
Comprehensive Plan should be amended as set forth in its applica-
tion the following:
1. The condition and situation which warrants the change
being made in the Plan is that the City of Meridian
and its surrounding area are not served by a Regional
Shopping Center and that the property belonging to the
Petitioner is amenable to development of a Regional
Shopping Center with outstanding representation by
major department stores , specialty stores and services
j; for the residents of the City of Meridian and the
surrounding region. The land in question has heretofore
been annexed into the City of Meridian.

b CROOKSTON

P.O.Box 427

Telephone 888-4481
•
•
2. The public need for and benefit from such a change in
the Comprehensive Plan would generally be to:
(A) Provide for the orderly growth of the City of _
Meridian and its environs ;
(B) Make readily available to the residents of the .
City of Meridian a wide range of store and shopping
facilities and services that can only be furnished
by a Regional Shopping Center;
(C) To attract to the City of Meridian and generate
within the City a large volume of business that
would result from the location within the City of
a Regional Shopping Center of adequate size to
serve the entire Treasure Valley and metropolitan
market;
(D) The current designation of a single site for a
proposed regional shopping center within the City
of Meridian has been in effect for several years.
The property though designated has not proven
adequate to attract the major retailers necessary
to support the development of a regional shopping
center. It is probable that the northern Ada
County area in which the City of Meridian is
situate is one of the largest metropolitan markets
in the entire nation not presently served by a
Regional Shopping Center. The size of the
population within the metropolitan area and the
trade area would indicate that given a suitable
location for a Regional Shopping Center, the major
retail stores necessary to make up the development
of such Regional Shopping Center would hasten to
enter the market. Upland Industries Corporation
submits that the site at the intersection of
Fairview Avenue and Eagle Road will be able to
attract these major retail stores and that the
Regional Shopping Center can equally become a
reality. It is apparent by reason of the inability
of the presently designated sites and of the
Boise Re-Development Administration to attract
establishment of a Regional Shopping Center either
at these other sites or in the downtown Boise area,
that the major retail firms have not found those
other locations to be adequate for their needs .
AMBROSE, 6 . That the application addresses the requirements, time-
MZGERALD
8CROOKSTON tables and procedures to amend the Comprehensive Plan.
Attorneys and
Counselors
P.O.Box 427
Meridian,Idaho
83642
Telephone 888-4461
7. That there is no regional shopping center actually in
existence in the City of Meridian, Ada County, or the Treasure
Valley.
CONCLUSIONS
1. That the City has authority to amend its Comprehensive
. Plan pursuant to Title 67, Chapter 65 , Idaho Code, and pursuant
to the Amendment Provisions and Procedures of the Comprehensive
Plan of Meridian, as amended April 2, 1984 .
2. That all notices and hearing requirements set forth in
Title 67, Chapter 65 , Idaho Code, the Ordinances of the City of
Meridian, and the Comprehensive Plan have been complied with.
3. That the application itself meets the requirements of
an application to amend the Comprehensive Plan; that is, it contains
the statements required by Paragraph 6 under the Amendment Provi-
sions and Procedures, beginning on Page 54 of the Plan.
4 . That the Commission may take judicial notice of govern-
mental statutes , ordinances, and policies , and of actual conditions
i
existing within the City, County, and State.
5 . That the Planning and Zoning Commission' s purpose at this
stage of the proceedings in processing and deciding a Comprehensive
Plan Amendment is to determine whether the proposed amendment
merits further study.
6. That since there is no regional shopping center in
AMBROSE,
ITZGERALD actual existence in Meridian, Ada County, or Treasure Valley, and

• � i
since there was no evidence submitted as to why the Plan should not
be amended, it is concluded that the application of Upland Indus-
tries to amend the Meridian Comprehensive Plan merits further study.
7. That the above conclusion that the application merits
further study is just that; it is not a decision that the Plan
should be amended as set forth in the application, nor is the con-
clusion to be construed in any fashion to indicate development as
proposed should occur at that location.

and approves these Findings of Fact and Conclusions .

ATTU: Mr. R. C. Spencer, Chairman
FROM: Howaru R. Foley and Alan G. Lance
SUBJECT: Public Hearing on Future Planning & Zoning Agenda
FOR: Meeting of July 5 , 1984
The purpose of this document is to provide, in written form,
our testimony regarding one portion of the Planning and Zoning
meeting scheduled for July 5 , 1984. It is my understanding that
Planning & Zoning will consider the establishment of future public
hearing dates at which time consideration of the tentative
Impact/Urban Service Area Agreement between the City of Meridian
anu Ada County will occur.
We most strongly protest any further move, hearing or
6iscussion of this tentative Agreement in its present form in the
following particular and for the following reasons. Our reading
and understanding of the proposed Agreement conceeds to Ada County
oruinances and thereby complete jurisdictional control over, not
only Meridian' s impact area, but -- and the point of our protest
-- Meridian's Urban Service Planning Area.
Such an abrogration of control (the purpose of the Agreement)
is inappropriate and unsupportable, in our opinion. If the
counterargument be that Meridian, by virtue of its annexing
powers, still has final control and that it is because of a too
liberal exercise of its annexing power that necessitates this
abrogation of control , the argument is short sighted anu
absolutely inconsistent with the envisioned statutory and
constitutional division of powers. It appears to me that Ada
County was able -- in the negotiation process -- to convince the
Mericiian delegation tnat the past lawful exercise of tne City's
power to annex was inappropriate and, in essence, extende6
Meridian's boundaries beyond appropriate limits. That conclusion,
however, ignors present population and expansion projections for
tne City and further substitutes Aua County's present judgment of
what growth is reasonable anu appropriate for Meridian for that of
a. -
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission

our past ano presently elected officials. The appropriate
beginning point, in our judgment, is not to second-guess
Meridian's boundaries, but to acknowledge the status quo and
negotiate, in good faith, a reasonable and standard Agreement.
All other such Agreements conceeu (and properly so) control and
jurisdiction to the affected City's (e.g. Eagle, 1.una, Boise)
Urban Services Planning Area. Our Agreement should also.
For this reason, no future agenda hearings should be held,
and a new effort to negotiate a reasonable agreeme t should be
had.

PETITION FOR AMENDMENT OF MERIDIAN
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE CITY OF
MERIDIAN, IDAHO
TO: THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, CITY OF MERIDIAN
1. UPLAND INDUSTRIES CORPORATION, a Nebraska
corporation, whose address is 110 North Fourteenth Street,
Suite 1000 , Omaha, Nebraska 68102 (hereafter sometimes
called "Petitioner") , hereby respectfully petitions the
Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Meridian,
Idaho, and the City Council of the City of Meridian,
Idaho, to amend the Meridian Comprehensive Plan as adopted
September 18 , 1978 , and as amended April 2 , 1984 , as follows:
(A) To provide that the entire Northwest
Quarter of Section 9 , Township 3 North,
Range 1 East of the Boise Meridian, be
designated in the Comprehensive Plan as
a site for a Regional Shopping Center.
(B) To remove the North Curve "Rural
Residential Reserve" designation from
the entire Northeast Quarter of Section
8 , Township 3 North, Range 1 East of the
Boise Meridian, Ada County, Idaho.
2. The precise amendments to be made to the
Comprehensive Plan to accomplish this are set out in de-
tail in Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
3. For ease in identification, the properties
for which the amendments are requested are the two (2)
/'1
- 2 -
quarter sections (Northeast Quarter of Section 8 , Township
3 North, Range 1 East and the Northwest Quarter of Section
9 , Township 3 North, Range 1 East of the Boise Meridian,
Ada County, Idaho) lying on either side of Eagle Road and
immediately south of Fairview Avenue in the City of Meridian.
(A) The property in Section 9 requested to
be designated for a Regional Shopping
Center consists of approximately 160
acres and is owned or controlled by the
Petitioner , Upland Industries
Corporation. The property is presently
designated on the Comprehensive Plan as
being within an Eastern Industrial Review
area. It is presently zoned I .L. under
the Zoning and Development Ordinance of
the City of Meridian as passed April 2 ,
1984.
(B) The property in Section 8 to be removed
from Rural Residential Reserve designa-
tion consists of approximately 160 acres
and has heretofore been annexed into the
City of Meridian. It is zoned as
"Industrial Light" , and is the site of
the proposed Treasure Valley Business
Center , Phase I , an industrial park sub-
division. The final plat for approval
and filing of TVBC-I will have been sub-
mitted to the Planning and Zoning
/"\
- 3 -
Commission for approval and filing
prior to hearing on this petition.
4. The condition and situation which warrants
the change being made in the Plan is that the City of
Meridian and its surrounding area are not served by a
Regional Shopping Center and that the property belonging
to the Petitioner , is amenable to development of a Regional
Shopping Center with outstanding representation by major
department stores, specialty stores and services for the
residents of the City of Meridian and the surrounding re-
gion. The land in question has heretofore been annexed
into the City of Meridian.
5. At the time the Comprehensive Plan was
amended on April 2 , 1984 , there was inadequate time to
present to the Planning and Zoning Commission and to the
City Council the proposal that the designated regional
shopping center sites under the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan be expanded to include the property belonging to
Upland Industries Corporation.
6. The public need for and benefit from such
a change in the Comprehensive Plan would generally be to:
(A) Provide for the orderly growth of the
City of Meridian and its environs;
(B) Make readily available to the residents
of the City of Meridian a wide range of
store and shopping facilities and services
- 4 -
that can only be furnished by a Regional
Shopping Center;
(C) To attract to the City of Meridian and
generate within the City a large volume
of business that would result from the
location within the City of a regional
shopping center of adequate size to serve
the entire Treasure Valley and metropol-
itan market;
(D) The current designation of a single site
for a proposed regional shopping center
within the City of Meridian has been in
effect for several years. The property
though designated, has not proven adequate
to attract the major retailers necessary
to support the development of a regional
shopping center. It is probable that
the northern Ada County area in which
the City of Meridian is situate is one
of the largest metropolitan markets in
the entire nation not presently served
by a Regional Shopping Center. The size
of the population within the metropolitan
area and the trade area would indicate
that given a suitable location for a
Regional Shopping Center , the major re-
tail stores necessary to make up the de-
velopment of such Regional Shopping Center
would hasten to enter the market. Upland
Industries Corporation submits that the
- 5 -
site at the intersection of Fairview
Avenue and Eagle Road will be able to
attract these major retail stores and
that the Regional Shopping Center can
equally become a reality. It is appar-
ent by reason of the inability of the
presently designated sites and of the
Boise Re-Development Administration to
attract establishment of a Regional
Shopping Center either at these other
sites or in the downtown Boise area,
that the major retail firms have not
found those other locations to be ade-
quate for their needs.
7. It is respectfully submitted that the suit-
ability of this location at the intersection of Eagle Road
and Fairview Avenue in the City of Meridian will be amply
demonstrated by the testimony and exhibits to be introduced
at the hearings on this cause, which will consist generally
of reference to the suitability of the site itself for
development, transportation access to and from the site,
demographic study of trends for the growth of the City of
Meridian and northern Ada County, the Air Quality Improvement
Plan for northern Ada County and the Transportation Plan
for Northern Ada County, together with your Petitioner ' s
proposed improvements to be made to the property.
8. The development intentions of your Petitioner
for the land involved are as follows:
Upon the amendment of the Comprehensive
Plan your Petitioner will request that the
- 6 -
zoning on the affected land be changed from
presently designated to I .L. to C.G. to allow
the development of a regional shopping center .
The Petitioner will make available to the land
involved, extension of water and sewer service
without cost to the City of Meridian and make
available all necessary easements for the pur-
pose of furnishing such utilities. Petitioner
has prepared plans and drawings for furnishing
utility services to the property which consist
of:
(A) Culinary water to be furnished to the
land by extension of 10" mains from the
existing Meridian system on Fairview
Avenue and the future Pine Avenue
Extension. All internal development
distribution lines are proposed to be
12" to facilitate fire flows. Additional
water supply will be constructed on site
as needed, in the form of deep well (s) .
These features will satisfy the needs
of a Regional Shopping Center located
within the area affected.
(B) Sanitary sewer capacity for the project
will be furnished via a 15" diameter sewer
outfall line extending west from the west
line of the property along the future
and present Pine Avenue alignment con-
necting to the 21" existing trunk line
which crosses Pine Avenue. Collection
- 7 -
lines of 8" , 10" and 12" in diameter will
serve the various portions of the proposed
development. Preliminary design has been
completed for the entire property. This
design will accommodate the anticipated
loads of a Regional Shopping Center in
the southeast quadrant of the Eagle Road/
Fairview Avenue intersection in addition
to the industrial development proposed
at Treasure Valley Business Center to
the west of the property affected herein.
(C) Drainage of the land within the proposed
Regional Shopping Center designation is
proposed to be accomplished by conveying
the historic run-off (that amount gener-
ated by the land as currently used) via
open swales to a discharge point in the
Settlers Canal. Run-off in excess of
the historic amount, generated due to
development, will be detained on individ-
ual lots or parcels by means of parking
lot storage, roof storage, underground
storage, basin storage or similar methods.
Drainage design to accommodate a regional
shopping center location on the east side
of Eagle Road will proceed in connection
with the design for the industrial park
on the land west of Eagle Road.
9. It should be noted that your Petitioner has
been actively involved in the development of the Treasure
1'1 /'1
- 8 -
Valley Business Center , Phase I , a proposed business and
light industrial park on land belonging to the Petitioner
lying west of Eagle Road and south of Fairview Avenue.
It is anticiapted that prior to public hearing on this
petition, the final plat for that development will have
been submitted to the City of Meridian in accordance with
the Subdivision Ordinance of the City of Meridian.
10. Upland Industries Corporation respectfully
submits that with the concurrent development of the Treasure
Valley Business Center on Upland ' s property west of Eagle
Road together with proposed regional shopping center east of
Eagle Road, the City and surrounding area will be benefited
by a broad based mix of business and light industry which
will enhance the entire community economy and environment.
There will be filed with the Petition herein or
at the time of Planning and Zoning Commission review, ap-
propriate exhibits and documents in support of this Petition.
Respectfully submitted this day of June,

UPLAND INDUSTRIES CORPORATION
By
PETITION OF UPLAND INDUSTRIES CORPORATION
FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CHANGE IN THE
CITY OF MERIDIAN, IDAHO
EXHIBIT 'A'
In order to accomplish the amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan of the City of Meridian as amended
April 2 , 1984 , as requested in the Petition of Upland
Industries Corporation, to which this Exhibit A is at-
tached, the following line item changes to the ordinance
appear to be appropriate:
1. (Page 7) AMENDMENT OF POLICY DIAGRAM.
Though the Policy Diagram is defined on page 6
to be a "general guide for land use decision making---not
as a legalistic , literal and definitive map, " and is---
"not intended to be used as the sole, authoritative means
for decision-making , " it appears the following changes
are appropriate to the Meridian Policy Diagram:
(a) Delete the "Rural Residential Reserve"
designation and Neighborhood designation
as shown at the North Curve area south
of Fairview Avenue.
(b) Designate the southeast quadrant of the
Fairview Avenue/Eagle Road intersection
as a Regional Shopping Center location
(including , without limitation, the entire
Northwest Quarter of Section 9 , Township
- 2 -
3 North, Range 1 East of the Boise Meridian,
Ada County, Idaho) .
(c) Indicate on the legend to the Meridian
Policy Diagram that the "E" is an indus-
trial review area as are the "T" and "W"
areas.
2. (Page 12) III--POPULATION GROWTH.
Change the third line in the fifth paragraph
in this section to designate more than a singular regional
shopping center site as follows: "or when a proposed re-
gional shopping center becomes a reality, or as industry
locates within the area. " (underscored portion is the
suggested addition. )
3. (Page 15) INTERCHANGE DEVELOPMENT.
Add an additional sentence to the end of that
paragraph to read as follows:
"Although the Fairview Avenue/Eagle Road
intersection is not presently an interchange
located on the I-84 interstate highway, com-
mercial and industrial development is encour-
aged at that location in that it is, and will
be with the completion of the Eagle Road in-
terchange as announced by the Idaho Department
of Transportation, a major intersection in-
terchange involving principal highways of Ada
County and the State. "
- 3 -
4. (Page 18) EASTERN INDUSTRIAL REVIEW AREA.
POLICIES
Subsection 3 of the above section should be amended
to read as follows: "---bench) , the contiguous residential
area to the north, and the proposed site of a regional
shopping center in the southeast quadrant of the inter-
section of Fairview Avenue and Eagle Road. " (emphasis
added to proposed change) .
5 . (Page 19) COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY CENTERS.
Regional Shopping Center.
The text of this subheading should be amended
to read as follows:
"As the largest designation of the
Commercial Activity Center designations, a
regional shopping center is designed to serve
Ada County and the surrounding counties which
make up the Treasure Valley. Sites for pos-
sible regional shopping centers have been des-
ignated in the northeast quadrant of the I-84/
Kuna-Meridian interchange and in the southeast
quadrant of the Eagle Road/Fairview Avenue
intersection. " (emphasis added to proposed
change) .
6. (Page 20) REGIONAL SHOPPING CENTER.
We would suggest that this policy section be
amended to read as follows:
"Meridian is encouraging, and has in the
past encouraged, the development of a regional
^ ^
- 4 -
"shopping center. As the geographic center
of Treasure Valley, Meridian possesses ideal
locations for such a center. Such a regional
shopping center would have a significant impact
upon the economy and environment in Meridian
and could potentially become a new central
business district. Such a shopping center
would provide a wide variety of retail enter-
prises and supporting commercial uses such
as office complexes, medical clinics, motels,
and entertainment facilities. Therefore,
Meridian is encouraging the development of
a regional shopping center near the Meridian/
Kuna Road freeway interchange or in the south-
east quadrant of the Eagle Road/Fairview Avenue
intersection, or at both such locations. "
In addition, we submit that Policies under this
heading be amended, at least in part, and it is suggested
that Policy No. 1 be amended to read as follows:
"1. It is the policy of the City of
Meridian to encourage and support the devel-
opment of a Regional Shopping Center at either
or both sites listed above. Either site could
become a core commercial activity center within
Meridian' s Urban Service Planning Area, as
well as the Treasure Valley. " ;
and Policy No. 2 might appropriately be amended to read
as follows:
"2 . The evaluation of a regional shopping
center development shall be primarily based
upon its consistency with the land use poli-
cies of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, as
well as the future Air Quality Plan of Northern
Ada County. "
/''N /.\
- 5 -
7. (Page 20) COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL CENTERS.
Designated POLICY under this section might ap-
propriately be amended to read as follows:
"Application for Community Shopping
Centers, as well as expansions of existing
community shopping centers, shall be reviewed
for possible adverse impacts upon the devel-
opment of a regional shopping center. "
8. (Page 22) MIXED-USE REVIEW AREAS.
THE AREA WEST OF KUNA-MERIDIAN ROAD, NORTH OF
I-84N, AND SOUTH OF WALTMAN LANE, AND CONTIGUOUS TO THE
FRONTAGE ROAD should be amended to read as follows:
"This area is located in proximity to
a regional shopping center location, is re-
latively level in topography and will have
excellent access to the freeway interchange
upon completion of the proposed frontage road
west of Kuna-Meridian Road. As a site for
warehousing, light industry, and related com-
mercial activities , this mixed-use area will
provide an excellent location for support ser-
vices to a regional shopping center if one is
developed at the Kuna-Meridian/I-84 interchange. "
9. (Page 31) POLICIES.
Sub-paragraph number 4 should be amended to read
as follows:
"4 . In order to preserve the integrity
of residential neighborhoods and at the same
time better serve regional shopping center
locations, industrial review areas , community
shopping center , and Old Town, the Policy
- 6 -
"Diagram identifies circular and perimeter
arterial traffic patterns which intend to
enhance, serve, unify and give shape to
Meridian' s Urban Service Planning Area. "
10 . (Page 32) ARTERIAL TRANSPORTATION CONCEPT
PLAN.
A large asterisk should be added in the southeast
quadrant of the Eagle Road/Fairview intersection and the
legend needs to be amended to read "Regional Shopping
Center Locations" . The portion of the North Curve residen-
tial area which lies south of Fairview Avenue within the
Northeast Quarter of Section 8 , Township 3 North, Range
1 East of the Boise Meridian, Ada County, Idaho, should
be deleted.
11. (Page 34) REGIONAL SHOPPING CENTER.
The heading here should be changed to read
"REGIONAL SHOPPING CENTERS" , the paragraph directly below
should be numbered "a" , and should read as follows:
"a. The proposed Regional Shopping Center
location northeast of the I-84/Kuna-Meridian
Road interchange, should include two frontage
roads; "
The next two sub-paragraphs thereunder should be renumbered
to 1 and 2 , and a new paragraph numbered "b" should be
added as follows:
"b. The proposed regional shopping center
location in the southeast quadrant of the Eagle
Road and Fairview Avenue intersection should be
adequately served by existing arterials, Eagle
- 7 -
"Road on the west and Fairview Avenue on the
north. When developed, however , the location
and number of curb cuts and private access
roads to the regional shopping center property
should be carefully reviewed by the Planning
and Zoning Commission and City Engineering
staff to provide for orderly traffic movement
into and out of the regional shopping center. "
12 . (Page 35) RURAL AREAS.
It is suggested that the definition section under
Rural Areas recognize that lands that have historically
been in agricultural activity go through a transitional
stage where they still retain some agricultural character
but are not utilized for intensive highly developed agri-
culture. We would suggest therefore that the last sentence
be amended to suggest as follows:
"It is intended these lands be kept in
agricultural production as long as economi-
cally feasible, however , where community
growth needs and increased traffic at access
creates pressure for new industrial or com-
mercial development, it must be recognized
that such land can no longer economically con-
tinue to be identified or used as agricultural
land to the exclusion of orderly growth and
development. "
13 . (Page 52) CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM (CIP) .
2. Transportation Improvement Program. Second
designated item under this subheading should be amended
to read as follows:
"Frontage Road from Eagle Road west to
Kuna/Meridian Road (to service a possible
Regional Shopping Center location) . "
- 8 -
14 . (Page 53) OTHER PROJECTS.
2. Support and encourage development of.
Commercial Activity Centers. The first subject therein
should change to read as follows:
"A Regional Shopping Center at either
location referred to in the Plan. "
The Planning and Zoning Commission and the City
Council of the City of Meridian may feel there are other
changes to be made to accomplish the purposes contained
in the Petition of Upland Industries Corporation. In con-
nection with the concurrent request in the Petition to
remove the Rural Residential Reserve designation on the
policy diagram of the Comprehensive Plan from the area
in the southwest quadrant of the Eagle Road/Fairview
Avenue Intersection, it may be desirable to make other
specific amendments or changes to the Plan in order to
allow business and industrial development in the subject
neighborhoods adjacent to Eagle Road/Fairview Avenue.
In the event the Planning and Zoning Commission and the
City Council of the City of Meridian for any reason deny
the Petition of Upland to designate the Northwest Quarter
of Section 9 described above as a Regional Shopping Center
location, then Petitioner , in the alternative, requests
that the necessary amendments be made in the Comprehensive
Plan to conform its provisions to permit the previously
established light industrial zoning for this property.
z ORIGINAL
PETITION FOR AMENDMENT OF MERIDIAN
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE CITY OF
MERIDIAN, IDAHO
TO: THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, CITY OF MERIDIAN
1. UPLAND INDUSTRIES CORPORATION, a Nebraska
corporation, whose address is 110 North Fourteenth Street,
Suite 1000 , Omaha, Nebraska 68102 (hereafter sometimes
called "Petitioner") , hereby respectfully petitions the
Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Meridian,
Idaho, and the City Council of the City of Meridian,
Idaho, to amend the Meridian Comprehensive Plan as adopted
September 18 , 1978, and as amended April 2, 1984, as follows:
(A) To provide that the entire Northwest
- Quarter of Section 9 , Township 3 North,
Range 1 East of the Boise Meridian, be
designated in the Comprehensive Plan as
a site for a Regional Shopping Center.
(B) To remove the North Curve "Rural
Residential Reserve" designation from
the entire Northeast Quarter of Section
8, Township 3 North, Range 1 East of the
Boise Meridian, Ada County, Idaho.
2. The precise amendments to be made to the
Comprehensive Plan to accomplish this are set out in de-
tail in Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
3. For ease in identification, the properties
for which the amendments are requested are the two (2)
- 2
quarter sections (Northeast Quarter of Section 8, Township
3 North, Range 1 East and the Northwest Quarter of Section
9 , Township 3 North, Range 1 East of the Boise Meridian,
Ada County, Idaho) lying on either side of Eagle Road and
immediately south of Fairview Avenue in the City of Meridian.
(A) The property in Section 9 requested to
be designated for a Regional Shopping
Center consists of approximately 160
acres and is owned or controlled by the
Petitioner, Upland Industries
Corporation. The property is presently
designated on the Comprehensive Plan as
being within an Eastern Industrial Review
area. It is presently zoned I .L. under
the Zoning and Development Ordinance of
the City of Meridian as passed April 2,
1984.
(B) The property in Section 8 to be removed
from Rural Residential Reserve designa-
tion consists of approximately 160 acres
and has heretofore been annexed into the
City of Meridian. It is zoned as
"Industrial Light" , and is the site of
the proposed Treasure Valley Business
Center, Phase I , an industrial park sub-
division. The final plat for approval
and filing of TVBC-I will have been sub-
mitted to the Planning and Zoning
- 3 -
Commission for approval and filing
prior to hearing on this petition.
4. The condition and situation which warrants
the change being made in the Plan is that the City of
Meridian and its surrounding area are not served by a
Regional Shopping Center and that the property belonging
to the Petitioner is amenable to development of a Regional
Shopping Center with outstanding representation by major
department stores, specialty stores and services for the
residents of the City of Meridian and the surrounding re-
gion. The land in question has heretofore been annexed
into the City of Meridian.
5. At the time the Comprehensive Plan was
amended on April 2 , 1984 , there was inadequate time to
present to the Planning and Zoning Commission and to the
City Council the proposal that the designated regional
shopping center sites under the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan be expanded to include the property belonging to
Upland Industries Corporation.
6. The public need for and benefit from such
a change in the Comprehensive Plan would generally be to:
(A) Provide for the orderly growth of the
City of Meridian and its environs;
(B) Make readily available to the residents
of the City of Meridian a wide range of
store and shopping facilities and services
- 4 -
that can only be furnished by a Regional
Shopping Center;
(C) To attract to the City of Meridian and
generate within the City a large volume
of business that would result from the
location within the City of a regional
shopping center of adequate size to serve
the entire Treasure Valley and metropol-
itan market;
(D) The current designation of a single site
for a proposed regional shopping center
within the City of Meridian has been in
effect for several years. The property
though designated, has not proven adequate
to attract the major retailers necessary
to support the development of a regional
shopping center. It is probable that
the northern Ada County area in which
the City of Meridian is situate is one
of the largest metropolitan markets in
the entire nation not presently served
by a Regional Shopping Center. The size
of the population within the metropolitan
area and the trade area would indicate
that given a suitable location for a
Regional Shopping Center, the major re-
tail stores necessary to make up the de-
velopment of such Regional Shopping Center
would hasten to enter the market. Upland
Industries Corporation submits that the
Pss
- 5 -
site at the intersection of Fairview
Avenue and Eagle Road will be able to
attract these major retail stores and
that the Regional Shopping Center can
equally become a reality. It is appar-
ent by reason of the inability of the
presently designated sites and of the
Boise Re-Development Administration to
attract establishment of a Regional
Shopping Center either at these other
sites or in the downtown Boise area,
that the major retail firms have not
found those other locations to be ade-
quate for their needs.
7. It is respectfully submitted that the suit-
ability of this location at the intersection of Eagle Road
and Fairview Avenue in the City of Meridian will be amply
demonstrated by the testimony and exhibits to be introduced
at the hearings On this cause, which will consist generally
of reference to the suitability of the site itself for
development, transportation access to and from the site,
demographic study of trends for the growth of the City of
Meridian and northern Ada County, the Air Quality Improvement
Plan for northern Ada County and the Transportation Plan
for Northern Ada County, together with your Petitioner ' s
proposed improvements to be made to the property.
8. The development intentions of your Petitioner
for the land involved are as follows:
Upon the amendment of the Comprehensive
Plan your Petitioner will request that the
- 6 -
zoning on the affected land be changed from
presently designated to I.L. to C.G. to allow
the development of a regional shopping center.
The Petitioner will make available to the land
involved, extension of water and sewer service
without cost to the City of Meridian and make
available all necessary easements for the pur-
pose of furnishing such utilities. Petitioner
has prepared plans and drawings for furnishing
utility services to the property which consist
of:
(A) Culinary water to be furnished to the
land by extension of 10" mains from the
existing Meridian system on Fairview
Avenue and the future Pine Avenue
Extension. All internal development
distribution lines are proposed to be
12" to facilitate fire flows. Additional
water supply will be constructed on site
as needed, in the form of deep well (s) .
These features will satisfy the needs
of a Regional Shopping Center located
within the area affected.
(B) Sanitary sewer capacity for the project
will be furnished via a 15" diameter sewer
outfall line extending west from the west
line of the property along the future
and present Pine Avenue alignment con-
necting to the 21" existing trunk line
which crosses Pine Avenue. Collection
?'\
- 7
lines of 8" , 10" and 12" in diameter will
serve the various portions of the proposed
development. Preliminary design has been
completed for the entire property. This
design will accommodate the anticipated
loads of a Regional Shopping Center in
the southeast quadrant of the Eagle Road/
Fairview Avenue intersection in addition
to the industrial development proposed
at Treasure Valley Business Center to
the west of the property affected herein.
(C) Drainage of the land within the proposed
Regional Shopping Center designation is
proposed to be accomplished by conveying
the historic run-off (that amount gener-
ated by the land as currently used) via
open swales to a discharge point in the
Settlers Canal. Run-off in excess of
the historic amount, generated due to
development, will be detained on individ-
ual lots or parcels by means of parking
lot storage, roof storage, underground
storage, basin storage or similar methods.
Drainage design to accommodate a regional
shopping center location on the east side
of Eagle Road will proceed in connection
with the design for the industrial park
on the land west of Eagle Road.
9. It should be noted that your Petitioner has
been actively involved in the development of the Treasure
8 _
Valley Business Center, Phase I, a proposed business and
light industrial park on land belonging to the Petitioner
lying west of Eagle Road and south of Fairview Avenue.
It is anticiapted that prior to public hearing on this
petition, the final plat for that development will have
been submitted to the City of Meridian in accordance with
the Subdivision Ordinance of the City of Meridian.
10. Upland Industries Corporation respectfully
submits that with the concurrent development of the Treasure
Valley Business Center on Upland' s property west of Eagle
Road together with proposed regional shopping center east of
Eagle Road, the City and surrounding area will be benefited
by a broad based mix of business and light industry which
will enhance the entire community economy and environment.
There will be filed with the Petition herein or
at the time of Planning and Zoning Commission review, ap-
propriate exhibits and documents in support of this Petition.
Respectfully submitted this CC day of June,
1984.

PETITION OF UPLAND INDUSTRIES CORPORATION
FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CHANGE IN THE
CITY OF MERIDIAN, IDAHO
EXHIBIT "A"
In order to accomplish the amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan of the City of Meridian as amended
April 2, 1984 , as requested in the Petition of Upland
Industries Corporation, to which this Exhibit A is at-
tached, the following line item changes to the ordinance
appear to be appropriate:
1. (Page 7) AMENDMENT OF POLICY DIAGRAM.
Though the Policy Diagram is defined on page 6
to be a "general guide for land use decision making---not
as a legalistic, literal and definitive map, " and is---
"not intended to be used as the sole, authoritative means
for decision-making, " it appears the following changes
are appropriate to the Meridian Policy Diagram:
(a) Delete the "Rural Residential Reserve"
designation and Neighborhood designation
as shown at the North Curve area south
of Fairview Avenue.
(b) Designate the southeast quadrant of the
Fairview Avenue/Eagle Road intersection
as a Regional Shopping Center location
(including, without limitation, the entire
Northwest Quarter of Section 9 , Township
1
- 2 -
3 North, Range 1 East of the Boise Meridian,
Ada County, Idaho) .
(c) Indicate on the legend to the Meridian
Policy Diagram that the "E" is an indus-
trial review area as are the "T" and "W"
areas.
2. (Page 12) III--POPULATION GROWTH.
Change the third line in the fifth paragraph
in this section to designate more than a singular regional
shopping center site as follows: "or when a proposed re-
gional shopping center becomes a reality, or as industry
locates within the area. " (underscored portion is the
suggested addition. )
3. (Page 15) INTERCHANGE DEVELOPMENT.
Add an additional sentence to the end of that
paragraph to read as follows:
"Although the Fairview Avenue/Eagle Road
intersection is not presently an interchange
located on the I-84 interstate highway, com-
mercial and industrial development is encour-
aged at that location in that it is, and will
be with the completion of the Eagle Road in-
terchange as announced by the Idaho Department
of Transportation, a major intersection in-
terchange involving principal highways of Ada
County and the State. "

4. (Page 18) EASTERN INDUSTRIAL REVIEW AREA.
POLICIES
Subsection 3 of the above section should be amended
to read as follows: "---bench) , the contiguous residential
area to the north, and the proposed site of a regional
shopping center in the southeast quadrant of the inter-
section of Fairview Avenue and Eagle Road. " (emphasis
added to proposed change) .
5. (Page 19) COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY CENTERS.
Regional Shopping Center.
The text of this subheading should be amended
to read as follows:
"As the largest designation of the
Commercial Activity Center designations, a
regional shopping center is designed to serve
Ada County and the surrounding counties which
make up the Treasure Valley. Sites for pos-
sible regional shopping centers have been des-
ignated in the northeast quadrant of the I-84/
Kuna-Meridian interchange and in the southeast
quadrant of the Eagle Road/Fairview Avenue
intersection. " (emphasis added to proposed
change) .
6. (Page 20) REGIONAL SHOPPING CENTER.
We would suggest that this policy section be
amended to read as follows:
"Meridian is encouraging, and has in the
past encouraged, the development of a regional
/ /'1
- 4 -
"shopping center. As the geographic center
of Treasure Valley, Meridian possesses ideal
locations for such a center. Such a regional
shopping center would have a significant impact
upon the economy and environment in Meridian
and could potentially become a new central
business district. Such a shopping center
would provide a wide variety of retail enter-
prises and supporting commercial uses such
as office complexes, medical clinics, motels,
and entertainment facilities. Therefore,
Meridian is encouraging the development of
a regional shopping center near the Meridian/
Kuna Road freeway interchange or in the south-
east quadrant of the Eagle Road/Fairview Avenue
intersection, or at both such locations. "
In addition, we submit that Policies under this
heading be amended, at least in part, and it is suggested
that Policy No. 1 be amended to read as follows:
"1. It is the policy of the City of
Meridian to encourage and support the devel-
opment of a Regional Shopping Center at either
or both sites listed above. Either site could
become a core commercial activity center within
Meridian' s Urban Service Planning Area, as
well as the Treasure Valley. " ;
and Policy No. 2 might appropriately be amended to read
as follows:
"2. The evaluation of a regional shopping
center development shall be primarily based
upon its consistency with the land use poli-
cies of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, as
well as the future Air Quality Plan of Northern
Ada County. "
• - 5 -
7. (Page 20) COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL CENTERS.
Designated POLICY under this section might ap-
propriately be amended to read as follows:
"Application for Community Shopping
Centers, as well as expansions of existing
community shopping centers, shall be reviewed
for possible adverse impacts upon the devel-
opment of a regional shopping center. "
8. (Page 22) MIXED-USE REVIEW AREAS.
THE AREA WEST OF KUNA-MERIDIAN ROAD, NORTH OF
I-84N, AND SOUTH OF WALTMAN LANE, AND CONTIGUOUS TO THE
FRONTAGE ROAD should be amended to read as follows:
"This area is located in proximity to
a regional shopping center location, is re-
latively level in topography and will have
excellent access to the freeway interchange
upon completion of the proposed frontage road
west of Kuna-Meridian Road. As a site for
warehousing, light industry, and related com-
mercial activities, this mixed-use area will
provide an excellent location for support ser-
vices to a regional shopping center if one is
developed at the Kuna-Meridian/I-84 interchange. "
9. (Page 31) POLICIES.
Sub-paragraph number 4 should be amended to read
as follows:
"4. In order to preserve the integrity
of residential neighborhoods and at the same
time better serve regional shopping center
locations, industrial review areas, community
shopping center, and Old Town, the Policy

- 6 -
"Diagram identifies circular and perimeter
arterial traffic patterns which intend to
enhance, serve, unify and give shape to
Meridian' s Urban Service Planning Area. "
10. (Page 32) ARTERIAL TRANSPORTATION CONCEPT
PLAN.
A large asterisk should be added in the southeast
quadrant of the Eagle Road/Fairview intersection and the
legend needs to be amended to read "Regional Shopping
Center Locations". The portion of the North Curve residen-
tial area which lies south of Fairview Avenue within the
Northeast Quarter of Section 8, Township 3 North, Range
1 East of the Boise Meridian, Ada County, Idaho, should
be deleted.
11. (Page 34) REGIONAL SHOPPING CENTER.
The heading here should be changed to read
"REGIONAL SHOPPING CENTERS" , the paragraph directly below
should be numbered "a" , and should read as follows:
"a. The proposed Regional Shopping Center
location northeast of the I-84/Kuna-Meridian
Road interchange, should include two frontage
roads; "
The next two sub-paragraphs thereunder should be renumbered
to 1 and 2 , and a new paragraph numbered "b" should be
added as follows:
"b. The proposed regional shopping center
location in the southeast quadrant of the Eagle
Road and Fairview Avenue intersection should be
adequately served by existing arterials, Eagle
s /'1
- 7 -
"Road on the west and Fairview Avenue on the
north. When developed, however, the location
and number of curb cuts and private access
roads to the regional shopping center property
should be carefully reviewed by the Planning
and Zoning Commission and City Engineering
staff to provide for orderly traffic movement
into and out of the regional shopping center. "
12. (Page 35) RURAL AREAS.
It is suggested that the definition section under
Rural Areas recognize that lands that have historically
been in agricultural activity go through a transitional
stage where they still retain some agricultural character
but are not utilized for intensive highly developed agri-
culture. We would suggest therefore that the last sentence
be amended to suggest as follows:
"It is intended these lands be kept in
agricultural production as long as economi-
cally feasible, however, where community
growth needs and increased traffic at access
creates pressure for new industrial or com-
mercial development, it must be recognized
that such land can no longer economically con-
tinue to be identified or used as agricultural
land to the exclusion of orderly growth and
development. "
13. (Page 52) CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM (CIP) .
2. Transportation Improvement Program. Second
designated item under this subheading should be amended
to read as follows:
"Frontage Road from Eagle Road west to
Kuna/Meridian Road (to service a possible
Regional Shopping Center location) . "
8
14. (Page 53) OTHER PROJECTS.
2. Support and encourage development of
Commercial Activity Centers. The first subject therein
should change to read as follows:
"A Regional Shopping Center at either
location referred to in the Plan. "
The Planning and Zoning Commission and the City
Council of the City of Meridian may feel there are other
changes to be made to accomplish the purposes contained
in the Petition of Upland Industries Corporation. In con-
nection with the concurrent request in the Petition to
remove the Rural Residential Reserve designation on the
policy diagram of the Comprehensive Plan from the area
in the southwest quadrant of the Eagle Road/Fairview
Avenue Intersection, it may be desirable to make other
specific amendments or changes to the Plan in order to
allow business and industrial development in the subject
neighborhoods adjacent to Eagle Road/Fairview Avenue.
In the event the Planning and Zoning Commission and the
City Council of the City of Meridian for any reason deny
the Petition of Upland to designate the Northwest Quarter
of Section 9 described above as a Regional Shopping Center
location, then Petitioner, in the alternative, requests
that the necessary amendments be made in the Comprehensive
Plan to conform its provisions to permit the previously
established light industrial zoning for this property.
