SUBJECT: UDC Text Amendment 2015 and Design Manual Revamp — Narrative

Mayor Tammy de Weerd

Keith Bird Joe Borton
Luke Cavener Genesis Milam
Charlie Rountree David Zaremba
In accord with Meridian City Code 11-5, the Planning Division of the Meridian Community Development
Department respectfully submits a zoning text amendment application to 1) update certain sections of the Unified
Development Code (UDC) and 2) revamp the City of Meridian Design Manual (DM).
Part one of the subject application proposes modifications to the following UDC sections: definitions, residential
dimensional standards, fencing, structure and site and multi -family design standards, common open space and site
amenities requirements, specific use standards for drinking establishments, flex spaces and home occupations,
timelines for signatures on development agreements, subdivision design and improvement standards and various
other miscellaneous sections.
Part two proposes revisions to the Meridian Design Manual. Since its inception in 2009, this document has seen
very few modifications. The changes are proposed in effort to streamline the process and develop guidelines that
are more expressive. The document name is also changing from the City of Meridian Design Manual, to the City
of Meridian Architectural Standards Manual.
All of the proposed changes to the UDC and Design Manual including the support documents are attached for
your review in PDF format. Further, Staff has vetted a majority of the proposed changes with various design
professionals and outside organizations with the hope of obtaining more transparency as the City embarks on
changes to the development review process.
In summary, the changes proposed in this application represent changes that City Staff believes will make the
implementation and use of the UDC and the Meridian Design Manual more understandable and enforceable.
Sincerely,
Bill Parsons, AICP
Planning Supervisor
