RE: First Amendment to the Meridian Revitalization Plan Urban Renewal Project
Dear President May:
Enclosed is a copy of a formal notice that will be published in the Meridian Press on
April 24 and May 8, 2020, advising that the Meridian City Council will hold a public hearing at
the Meridian City Hall, 33 E. Broadway Avenue, Meridian, Idaho, on Tuesday, June 2, 2020, at
6:00 p.m., to consider adoption of the First Amendment to the Meridian Revitalization Plan
Urban Renewal Project (the "First Amendment"), concerning the deannexation of certain
parcels from the existing Meridian Revitalization Plan Project Area (also referred to as the
"Downtown District") of the Urban Renewal Agency of Meridian, Idaho, also known as Meridian
Development Corporation ("MDC"). At that time the City Council will consider the second
reading of an Ordinance adopting the First Amendment.
This letter also serves as notice to you, in compliance with Idaho Code § 50-2906, that the
First Amendment amends an existing plan that contains a revenue allocation provision and MDC
recommends approval of the First Amendment. This letter also serves as formal submission of
the First Amendment for your review and comment under Idaho Code § 40-1415(3). Please
provide your written comments within thirty (30) days.
As noted above, the major purpose of this First Amendment is to deannex certain parcels
from the Meridian Revitalization Plan Project Area. A map identifying the boundary of the
parcels to be deannexed is included together with the corresponding legal description.
A copy of the First Amendment and MDC Resolution No. 20-008 adopted by the MDC
Board on Wednesday, March 25, 2020, are also enclosed along with the deannexation map and
legal description (if you are receiving this letter via email, copies of all of the referenced
documents can be located at https://bit.ly/UnionDistrict). A copy of the Meridian
Revitalization Plan is available at City Hall and on MDC's website
(meridiandevelopmentcorp.com) for your review. You are encouraged to provide your
comments, either in writing or at the public hearing.
