RE: First Amendment to the Meridian Revitalization Plan Urban Renewal Project
Dear President May:
The attached document is a letter sent to your agency by USPS on April 24, 2020. For your
convenience, this email includes a link to electronic versions of the documents that were sent to you in paper
form.
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.

In the event you would like to schedule a separate meeting to discuss the First Amendment,
representatives of the City will make themselves available to explain the First Amendment.
Sincerely,
