TRANSMITTAL MEMO FOR PZ-04, PZ-05, PZ-06
TO: Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
DATE: October 7, 2021
FROM: Ted Baird, Deputy City Attorney
Kurt Starman, Deputy City Attorney
RE: Resolutions for October 7, 2021 Agenda
On your agenda there are three resolutions for your consideration. The task before the commission is
to consider whether the proposed Urban Renewal Projects are consistent with Meridian's
Comprehensive Plan.
AGENDA Items 3 & 4:
The first two Resolutions (PZ-21-04 and PZ-21-05)both relate to the Northern Gateway District Urban
Renewal Project. The only difference is that Option A includes a large 17-acre parcel north and west
of the corner of Meridian Road and Cherry Lane (the "McFadden Property"). Option B does not
include the McFadden Property. The analysis is similar for both Options A & B—in fact the
Memorandum attached as Exhibit A to each of these two Resolutions is identical, and the differences
between the Options A &B are discussed in the Memorandum.
By the time this matter gets to the City Council for consideration, one of the options will become the
clear choice for moving forward, but in order to comply with Idaho Code Section 50-2008(b) and to
move this matter forward, the Planning and Zoning Commission will review both Option A and Option
B for conformity with the Comprehensive Plan tonight.
Staff is recommending that the Commission move to approve the Resolutions associated with BOTH
Options A and B, identifying the proposed Gateway Plans as conforming to the City of Meridian's
Comprehensive Plan.
AGENDA item#5
Resolution PZ-21-06 pertains to the proposed annexation of 1.46 acres to the existing Union District
Urban Renewal Project. Staff recommends that the Commission move to approve the associated
Resolution identifying the proposed First Amendment to the Union District Urban Renewal Project as
conforming to the City of Meridian's Comprehensive Plan.
For additional information and analysis,please refer to the September 30, 2021 Planning Division
Memoranda, which are identified as exhibits to the Resolutions.

FROM: Brian McClure, Comprehensive Associate Planner
RE: First Amendment to the Urban Renewal Plan for the Union District Urban
Renewal Project
This memo is intended to confirm consistency of the City's Comprehensive Plan with the
proposed amendment to the Union District Urban Renewal Plan. The proposed Union District
plan amendment(Plan Amendment) is to annex an additional 1.46 acres into the existing Union
District boundary. The amendment language indicates that there are no substantive changes to
the Union District(District), other than to generally update facts and figures based on or derived
from the new total District physical area.
This memo assumes that Comprehensive Plan analysis in 2020, for the original District, is still
applicable and current for the following reasons:
• no vertical construction has occurred within the Union District(District);
• no appreciable changes to taxable revenue as a result of development have occurred;

Phone 208-884-5533 - Fax 208-888-6854 . www.meridiancity.org
Item 5. F338]
• no new projects types outside of the original District plan are proposed in the Plan
Amendment;
• the originally described activities and projects are still valid and may support efforts to
reach the desired vision of the Comprehensive Plan; and
• no amendments to the Comprehensive Plan have been approved which influence land use
decisions or development review.
Additionally, the proposed annexation is relatively small at 1.46 acres. The Plan Amendment
area includes 11 parcels, two of which are extraordinarily narrow strips (totaling 0.005 acres or
217 square-feet), and three of which are vacant(0.250 acres). Additionally, 0.407 acres are
public right-of-way which include a portion of Idaho Ave and the east-west mid-block alley. Of
the 11 parcels (9 functional), there are 5 primary owners. There are 4 primary owners of existing
buildings, some of which are divided into smaller tenant spaces.
Recommendation
Based on the activities in the original Union District and limited scope of the annexation, Staff
believes establishing this annexation may be an effective tool in implementing the City of
Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Accordingly, Staff recommends that the Commission move to
approve the associated Resolution identifying the proposed First Amendment to the Urban
Renewal Plan for the Union District Urban Renewal Project, as conforming to the City of
Meridian's Comprehensive Plan.
General Comprehensive Plan Analysis
While the Union District annexation is limited in scope, the following text describes general
applicable policies that should be considered with future activities and development. This
analysis is in consideration of future needs, concerns, and activities, and how the annexed area of
the Union District may fit within a broader context, but not of the proposed amendment and
annexation itself. The following analysis is narrowed to the amendment only, and not the broader
Union District. For context, the Union District amended description of principles states,
The First Amendment embraces the principles set forth in the Plan and proposes
improvements to public infrastructure and other publicly owned assets throughout the
expansion area, creating the framework for the development of mixed-use, residential,
commercial, and retail areas, improvements to other public facilities, including, but not
limited to, streets, streetscapes, water and sewer improvements, environmental
remediation/site preparation,public parking, community facilities, and pedestrian/bike
amenities. The expansion area is underdeveloped and is not being used to its highest and
best use due to age and obsolescence, as well as faulty lot layout and diversity of
ownership.
The Plan Amendment includes other updates to text and attachments of the original Plan. Where
the original Union District was clearly intended to make use of tax increment financing (TIF) to
address new and well-defined opportunities, such as development of the former Union Pacific
property, this annexation is less clear. The stated amendment principles are admirable, but it is
not clear why the original downtown Urban Renewal District did not previously address the
2
Item 5. F339]
same identified short-comings prior to de-annexation. Further, it is unclear what circumstances
have changed in the context of the described issues, or what specific public participation may be
necessary to address identified short-comings in the context of new opportunities. While the area
proposed for inclusion in the Union District is small in geographic area, the purpose for inclusion
is not evident. Regardless, no specific development is proposed and the general list of principles
and activities are generally desired by the Comprehensive Plan. This annexation into the Union
District is a new opportunity to correct historical deficiencies within a defining block of
Downtown.
Plan Text
The Evolving Community section(Chapter 3) of the Comprehensive Plan, defines future land
use typologies. The only land use designation in this area is Old Town:
This designation includes the historic downtown and the true community center. The
boundary of the Old Town district predominantly follows Meridian's historic plat
boundaries. In several areas, both sides of a street were incorporated into the boundary
to encourage similar uses and complimentary design of the facing houses and buildings.
Sample uses include offices, retail and lodging, theatres, restaurants, and service retail
for surrounding residents and visitors. A variety of residential uses are also envisioned
and could include reuse of existing buildings, new construction of multi family residential
over ground floor retail or office uses.
The City has developed specific architectural standards for Old Town and other
traditional neighborhood areas. Pedestrian amenities are emphasized in Old Town via
streetscape standards. Additional public and quasi public amenities and outdoor
gathering area are encouraged. Future planning in Old Town will be reviewed in
accordance with Destination Downtown, a visioning document for redevelopment in
Downtown Meridian. Please see Chapter 2 Premier Community for more information on
Destination Downtown. Sample zoning include O-T.
The Old Town future land use is the most diverse designation in the City's land use portfolio. It
has the greatest combined range of residential and non-residential uses and no caps on density or
intensity of developed uses. Further, the City's complimentary zoning, also named Old Town(O-
T), has zero setbacks for structures, reduced parking requirements, and reduced landscape
setbacks aside from pedestrian streetscape infrastructure. All parcels in the proposed amendment
boundary are already zoned O-T.
Plan Policies
The following text reference policies that are applicable to the proposed Plan Amendment text.
The first number of a policy ID references the Chapter.
• 2.02.02C, Support infill development that does not negatively impact the abutting, existing
development. Infill projects in Downtown should develop at higher densities, irrespective of
existing development.
Neither the original District plan or this Plan Amendment are clear in how redevelopment
may be respectful of existing development. Public participation may however be able to
3
Item 5. ■
greatly mitigate private development impacts. The Plan Amendment describes a thorough list
of public improvements that may help to offset costly redevelopment, and both the Plan
Amendment and the original District plan indicate opportunities for the Meridian
Development Corporation to negotiate additional standards along with public participation.
• 2.09.01B, Establish incentives to develop gathering spaces and civic facilities within
Downtown.
The Plan Amendment lists a number of public improvements that could improve public
spaces, including community facilities and streetscape enhancements. These types of
improvements would likely require public private projects due to the cost, size, and location
within public right-of-way and given the limited size of the Plan Amendment area.
• 2.09.02A, Actively implement action items in the Destination Downtown Plan.
Destination Downtown was created by the Meridian Development Corporation for the
original downtown Urban Renewal District (URD), and adopted by the City. This plan was
extremely broad in land use diversity, area, and scope. Within Destination Downtown, the
relevant area in the Plan Amendment is entirely within the Traditional City Core area. This
area is focused on traditional architecture themes, construction between 2 and 4 stories,
continuous urban edge, vertical integration, and diversity of uses. With the existing
downtown URD set to expire in the coming years, the Plan amendment is an opportunity for
more renewed and focused efforts, both geographically and in implementation activities.
• 2.09.02B, Pursue grants and public-private partnerships to enhance Downtown.
Continuation of TIF funding could both provide grants and make more competitive
applications for grants, by utilizing a dedicated funding source.
• 2.09.02G, Implement the City of Meridian Design Standards and City of Meridian
Architectural Standards Manual to ensure that Downtown remains the historic center for
mixed-use tourism,business, retail, residential, and governmental activities.
This policy is not directly related to the Plan Amendment, but warrants re-review due to
recent decisions and concerns elsewhere in the Union District and larger Downtown area.
The City has land use authority over the project area and implementation of design and
architectural standards must be met. However, these standards while allowing for the full
range of uses described within the original District plan, does not necessarily cater to or
encourage them in a context or towards any purpose. Neither the original District plan or the
Plan Amendment describe historical context as something to preserve or build upon, but it is
central to the Destination Downtown plan, and more specifically the Traditional City Core.
Additional work is necessary if downtown specific and historical context are desired.
• 3.03.01E, Encourage infill development.
The unstated purpose of both the original District plan and the Plan Amendment, through
virtually all of the goals,principles, and implementation strategies, is to encourage infill and
greater density through redevelopment.
• 3.03.03G, Require urban infrastructure be provided for all new developments, including curb
and gutter, sidewalks, water and sewer utilities.
The City has land use authority over the project area and urban infrastructure will be
required with all redevelopment. Further, the Plan Amendment calls out specific
4
Item 5. E
implementation strategies including road, curb, gutter, streetscape, lighting, stormwater, and
others.
• 5.02.01A, Maintain and implement design and building standards for historically significant
buildings and resources in Old Town.
As noted in policy 2.09.02G, the Plan Amendment does not emphasize consideration for the
historic character and quality of the overall Downtown area. If this element is important,
then standards are needed to protect and/or enhance the general area character. Currently,
the City cannot enforce consideration of historic elements or general thematic qualities
with administrative level approvals. In Old-Town, this includes multi family permits and
multi-story buildings.
Referenced Plans
The following plans are adopted by reference in the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan, and
are relevant material to the proposed Plan Amendment.
• Downtown Meridian Street Cross-section Master Plan
The Cross-section most specific for the Plan Amendment is Idaho Ave, where half of the
street is included in the annexation area. Other bordering streets including Main, 2-112, and
Broadway, and are either already in the Union District, or excluded. The applicable cross-
sections are included as Attachment B. Because the Plan Amendment area does not take in
the entire right-of-way of Idaho Ave, it is likely that a public public partnership will be
required to make improvements. Alternatively, improvements could wait until after the road
is resurfaced by ACHD (reducing the crown and correcting drainage), or to constrain
improvements to behind the existing curb. A significant number of stakeholders have
changed since the original cross-section was adopted. Regardless of the final cross-section,
an innovative design may be desired to increase placemaking opportunities and awareness of
the block.
• Historic Preservation Plan
The Historic Preservation Commission and City adopted the Historic Preservation Plan in
2014. Several goals from the plan are relevant to the Union District Plan, including:
o Goal I Preserve and enhance Meridian's historical, cultural and agricultural
heritage.
o Goal 3 Heighten public awareness of historic preservation in the community and
improve preservation education efforts for various audiences.
o Goal 4 Maintain and strengthen support for historic preservation from individuals,
commercial property owners, local organizations and neighborhood groups.
These goals for the Commission (and City) are not just about preserving, but also enhancing
and generating awareness ofMeridian's history. Additional objectives for these goals are
described within the plan. Since areas of the Plan Amendment are near to historic
structures and sites, awareness and care of both public and private efforts is important.
These plans are available on the City's Comprehensive Plan website at:

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE URBAN RENEWAL
PLAN FOR THE UNION DISTRICT URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT- 1
Item 5. F346]
BACKGROUND
This First Amendment ("First Amendment") to the Urban Renewal Plan for the Union
District Urban Renewal Project (the "Plan") amends the Plan for the following purpose: to add
approximately 1.46 acres (including rights-of-way) of land contiguous to the northwestern
boundary of the Union District Project Area and generally bounded by E. Idaho Avenue on the
north, NE 2nd Street on the east, a portion of Broadway Avenue on the south, and E. Main Street
on the west, an area referred to as the"Idaho Block." The scope of this First Amendment is limited
to addressing the addition of the Idaho Block to the Union District Project Area. It is important to
note this First Amendment to the Plan does not extend the Plan's duration. The Plan terminates on
December 31, 2040; however, revenue allocation proceeds will be received in 2041 pursuant to
Idaho Code Section 50-2905(7).
This First Amendment to the Plan, seeking to add the Idaho Block to the Union District
Project Area pursuant to Idaho Code Section 50-2033, is not deemed to be a modification under
Idaho Code Section 50-2903A. "Modification shall not be deemed to have occurred when: . . . (ii)
There is a plan amendment to accommodate an increase in the revenue allocation area boundary
as permitted in section 50-2033, Idaho Code..." Idaho Code Section 50-2903A(1)(a)(ii).
Idaho Code Section 50-2033 permits an urban renewal agency, after July 1, 2011, to add
area to an existing revenue allocation area one (1)time"so long as the total area to be added is not
greater than ten percent (10%) of the existing revenue allocation area and the area to be added is
contiguous to the existing revenue allocation area . . . ."Idaho Code § 50-2033. Contiguity cannot
be established solely by a shoestring or public railroad right-of-way. See Idaho Code § 50-2033.
The geographic area to be added to the Union District Project Area is contiguous to the existing
Union District Project Area and is less than ten percent (10%) of the existing revenue allocation
area, which is 15.86 acres.
A separate base assessment value will be established for the area to be added to the Union
District Project Area, effective retroactive to January 1, 2021. The Agency will receive an
allocation of revenues from the added area from any increases in value above the base value
through the remaining years of the Plan. The base values for the original Union District Project
Area will continue to be retroactive to January 1, 2020.
The area to be added to the Union District Project Area was deemed to be a deteriorated
area and/or a deteriorating area under the Law and Act and, therefore, eligible for inclusion into
the existing revenue allocation area pursuant to the Idaho Block Annexation to Union District
(Proposed) Eligibility Report,prepared by Kushlan I Associates, dated June 2021 (the "Eligibility
Report"). The Eligibility Report was submitted to the Agency, which by adoption of Resolution
No. 21-027 on June 9, 2021, found the additional area to be eligible and authorized the
transmission of the Eligibility Report and Resolution to the Meridian City Council, together with
the Agency's recommendation that the area be designated as appropriate for an urban renewal
project, and seeking direction from the City Council to proceed with urban renewal plan
amendment. The Meridian City Council, by adoption of Resolution No. 21-2274 on July 6, 2021,
found the area under consideration to be a deteriorating area or a deteriorated area in the City, as
defined by the Law and the Act, and authorized preparation of a plan amendment.

4. Amendment to Section 100 of the Plan. Section 100 is amended by deleting the last
sentence of the first paragraph and replacing it as follows:
Attachments 1 through 5, as supplemented by Attachments IA, 2A,
4A and 5A, attached hereto (collectively, the "Plan Attachments, as

5. Amendment to Section 102 of the Plan. Section 102 entitled"Procedures Necessary
to Meet State and Local Requirements: Conformance with Idaho Code Sections 50-2008 and 50-
2906" is amended by adding new paragraphs to the end of the existing language as follows:
Subsequent to the adoption of this Plan in 2020,in 2021,the Agency
retained a third-party consultant to review approximately 1.46 acres of land
adjacent and contiguous to the Project Area for an eligibility determination
for an urban renewal project. The area reviewed included land contiguous
to the northwestern boundary of the Union District Project Area and
generally bounded by E. Idaho Avenue on the north, NE 2nd Street on the
east, a portion of Broadway Avenue on the south, and E. Main Street on the
west(the "Idaho Block").
The Idaho Block was reviewed and determined to be a deteriorated
area and/or a deteriorating area under the Law and the Act and, therefore,
eligible for inclusion into the existing revenue allocation area pursuant to
the Idaho Block Annexation to Union District Eligibility Report(proposed),
prepared by Kushlan I Associates, dated June 2021 (the "Eligibility
Report"). The Eligibility Report was submitted to the Agency, which by
adoption of Resolution No. 21-027 on June 9, 2021, found the additional
area to be eligible and authorized the transmission of the Eligibility Report
and Resolution to the City Council, together with the Agency's
recommendation that the area be designated as appropriate for an urban
renewal plan amendment. The City Council by adoption of Resolution No.
21-2274 on July 6, 2021, found the area under consideration to be a
deteriorating area or a deteriorated area in the City, as defined by the Law
and the Act, and authorized preparation of a plan amendment. The 1.46
acres being added to the Project Area hereby creates the "Amended Project
Area" as further described and shown in Attachments 1, 1A, 2, and 2A.
This First Amendment to the Plan (the "First Amendment") adds
certain parcels that were deannexed from the Downtown District Plan and
Project Area in 2021 pursuant to the Second Amendment to the Meridian
Revitalization Plan.
This First Amendment was prepared and submitted to the Agency
for its review and approval. The Agency approved the First Amendment by
the adoption of Resolution No. on , 2021 and
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE URBAN RENEWAL
PLAN FOR THE UNION DISTRICT URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT-4
Item 5. F349]
submitted the First Amendment to the City Council with its
recommendation for adoption.
In accordance with the Law,this First Amendment was submitted to
the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City. After consideration of
the First Amendment, the Commission filed Resolution dated
, 2021, with the City Council stating that the First Amendment is in
conformity with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Pursuant to the Law and Act,the City Council,having published due
notice thereof,held a public hearing on the First Amendment. Notice of the
hearing was duly published in the Idaho Press, a newspaper having general
circulation in the City. The City Council adopted the First Amendment on
2021, pursuant to Ordinance No.
6. Amendment to Section 103 of the Plan. In Section 103, the term "Project Area" is
now replaced with the term"Amended Project Area."
7. Amendment to Section 103 of the Plan. Section 103 of the Plan is amended by the
addition of new Section 103.1 entitled"History and Current Conditions of the Expansion Area" as
follows:
During 2021, the City, Agency, and other interested parties began to
examine the need to expand the Project Area to include additional area
adjacent and contiguous to the Project Area that continued to be
underdeveloped.
The approximately 1.46 acres to be added to the Project Area
includes eleven(11)tax parcels with an Old Town(OT)zoning designation
and are located within the older developed area within the community.
None of the parcels appear to be owner-occupied residences. Only the south
half of Idaho Avenue between Main Street and NE 2nd Street is included.
The area reviewed exhibited deteriorated conditions due to the age or
obsolescence of the structures. The area is transitioning to a modern
commercial center and the configuration of small lots does not
accommodate modern commercial development rendering redevelopment
economically infeasible. Similarly, the eleven (11) parcels range in size
with the majority of lots under 5,000 square feet, which is an insufficient
size to accommodate economical economic development. Diversity of
ownership is also present, which makes land assemblage challenging.
These above conditions result in economic underdevelopment of the area
and are conditions that substantially impair and arrest the sound growth of
the City.
The First Amendment embraces the principles set forth in the Plan
and proposes improvements to public infrastructure and other publicly
owned assets throughout the expansion area, creating the framework for the
development of mixed-use, retail, office, commercial, and residential,
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE URBAN RENEWAL
PLAN FOR THE UNION DISTRICT URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT- 5
Item 5. F350]
projects, as well as, fagade improvements,planning studies and installation
and improvements to other public facilities, including, but not limited to,
streets, streetscapes, water and sewer improvements, environmental and
floodplain remediation/site preparation, public parking, other community
facilities, parks, plazas, open space, and pedestrian/bike amenities. The
expansion area is underdeveloped and is not being used to its highest and
best use due to age and obsolescence, as well as faulty lot layout in relation
to size, adequacy, accessibility or usefulness, obsolete platting, and
diversity of ownership. The foregoing conditions have resulted in economic
underdevelopment of the expansion area and has arrested or impaired
growth in the expansion area.
The preparation and approval of an urban renewal plan amendment
including a revenue allocation financing provision,gives the City additional
resources to solve the public infrastructure problems in this area. Revenue
allocation financing should help to improve the situation. In effect,property
taxes generated by new developments within the Amended Project Area
may be used by the Agency to finance a variety of needed public
improvements and facilities. Finally, some of the new developments may
also generate new jobs in the community that would, in turn, benefit area
residents.
It is unlikely individual developers will take on the prohibitive costs
of constructing the necessary infrastructure in the expansion area without
the ability of revenue allocation to help offset at least some of these costs.
But for urban renewal and revenue allocation financing, the proposed
commercial, office, residential and related public improvements would not
occur.
8. Amendment to Section 200 of the Plan.
a. Section 200 entitled "DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT AREA" is
deleted and replaced as follows:
DESCRIPTION OF THE AMENDED PROJECT AREA
The boundaries of the Project Area and of the Revenue Allocation
Area are shown on Attachment 1, Boundary Map of Union District Urban
Renewal Project Area and Revenue Allocation Area, and are described in
Attachment 2, Legal Description of Union District Urban Renewal Project
Area and Revenue Allocation Area.
The boundaries of the area added to the Project Area,pursuant to the
First Amendment, are shown on Attachment IA, Boundary Map of the
Additional Area, and are described in Attachment 2A, Legal Description of
the Boundary of the Additional Area. Collectively, the Project Area, as
amended, may be referred to as the "Amended Project Area."
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE URBAN RENEWAL

incorporated herein by reference.
9. Amendment to Section 301 of the Plan. Section 301 is amended as follows:
a. Section 301 is amended by deleting subsection (t) and replacing it as
follows:
t. The construction and financial support of cultural facilities
and the enhancement,installation and/or construction of parks,open spaces,
plazas, and public recreational facilities;
b. Section 301 is amended by adding a new subsection (x) as follows:
X. The provision of financial and other assistance to encourage
and support the Agency's fagade improvement program
C. Section 301 is amended by adding a new subsection(y) as follows:
Y. The funding in whole, or in part,any planning studies within
the Amended Project Area.
10. Amendment to Section 302 of the Plan. Section 302 is amended by deleting the first
paragraph and replacing it as follows:
Urban renewal activity is necessary in the Amended Project Area to
combat problems of physical deterioration or deteriorating conditions. As
set forth in greater detail in Sections 103 and 103.1, the Amended Project
Area has a history of stagnant growth and development compared to the
greater downtown area of the City based on deteriorated or deteriorating
conditions that have arrested or impaired growth in the Amended Project
Area primarily attributed to: underdeveloped properties; inadequate
pedestrian and bicycle connectivity and mobility; the presence of a
substantial number of deteriorating structures; deterioration of site; age and
obsolescence; a predominance of defective or inadequate street layout;
faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility or usefulness;
unsanitary or unsafe conditions; diversity of ownership; and defective or
very unusual conditions of title. The Plan for the Amended Project Area is
a proposal to work in partnership with public and private entities to improve,
develop, and grow the economy within the Amended Project Area by the
implementation of a strategy and program set forth in Section 301, as
amended.

11. Amendment to Section 502 of the Plan.
a. Section 502 is amended by deleting the first sentence of the first paragraph
and replacing it as follows: The Agency hereby adopts revenue allocation financing provisions as
authorized by the Act, effective retroactively to January 1, 2020, for the original Project Area and
effective retroactively to January 1, 2021, for the area added to the Project Area by the First
Amendment.
b. Section 502 is amended by deleting the first and second sentences of the
fifth paragraph and replacing them as follows: A statement listing proposed public improvements
and facilities, an economic feasibility study, estimated project costs, fiscal impact upon other
taxing districts, and methods of financing project costs required by Idaho Code Section 50-2905
is included in Attachment 5 for the Project Area, and as supplemented in Attachment 5A for the
area added by the First Amendment. The information contained in Attachment 5 incorporated
estimates and projections based on the Agency's and the consultants' knowledge and expectations
at that time. The information contained in Attachment 5A necessarily incorporates estimates and
projections based on the Agency's present knowledge and expectations and includes analysis and
assessment based on the additional 1.461 acres added to the Project Area.'
12. Amendment to Section 502.1 of the Plan. Section 502.1 is amended by deleting
Section 502.1 and replacing it as follows:
Attachment 5 consists of the Economic Feasibility Study for the
Union District Urban Renewal Area prepared by Kushlan I Associates and
SMR Development, LLC for the original Project Area. Attachment 5A
consists of the Economic Feasibility Study for the area added to the Project
Area by the First Amendment prepared by Kushlan I Associates. Portions
of the data from Attachment 5 are restated in Attachment 5A to the extent
additional information was available related to the timing of projects
impacting revenue generation and project funding in the expansion area
(collectively, Attachments 5 and 5A are referred to as the "Study"). The
Study constitutes the financial analysis required by the Act.
13. Amendment to Section 502.3 of the Plan. Section 502.3 of the Plan is amended by
the addition of new Section 502.3.1 entitled "Updated Ten Percent Value Limitation and the Ten
Percent Geographic Limitation" as follows:
Under the Act,the base assessed valuation for all revenue allocation
areas cannot exceed gross/net ten percent (10%) of the current assessed
taxable value for the entire City. According to the Ada County Assessor,
the assessed taxable value for the City as of January 1, 20202 less
' See also Section 301 to the Plan,as amended.
2 Due to the timing of the assessment process and creation of this Plan,the 2020 values have been
used to establish compliance with the 10%limitation.Using the 2020 values,the total adjusted base value of the
existing and proposed revenue allocation areas combined with the value of this annexation into the Project Area are
less than 2.62%of
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE URBAN RENEWAL
PLAN FOR THE UNION DISTRICT URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT- 8
Item 5. F353]
homeowners' exemption is $10,375,837,804. Therefore, the 10% limit is
$1,037,583,780.
The adjusted base assessed value of each of the existing revenue
allocation areas, plus the expansion area and the proposed revenue
allocation areas, as of January 1, 2020, is as follows:
Downtown District3 $146,334,050
Ten Mile District $39,539,125
Union District $2,144,360
Proposed Union District Project Area Amendment $3,414,100
Proposed Northern Gateway District $68,832,974
Proposed Linder District4 $11,978,500
TOTAL: $272,243,109
The adjusted base values for the combined revenue allocation areas
total$272,243,109,which is less than 10%of the City's 2020 taxable value.
Further, Idaho Code Section 50-2033 provides that after July 1,
2011: "[a]n urban renewal plan that includes a revenue allocation area may
be extended only one (1) time to extend the boundary of the revenue
allocation area so long as the total are to be added is not greater than ten
percent (10%) of the existing revenue allocation area and the area to be
added is contiguous to the existing revenue allocation area but such
contiguity cannot be established solely by a shoestring or strip of land which
comprises a railroad or public right-of-way." The Project Area consists of
approximately 15.86 acres; therefore, the 10% geographic limit is
approximately 1.59 acres. The area to be added to the Project Area, which
is adjacent and contiguous to the Project Area, consists of approximately
1.461 acres, which is less than 10% of the acreage included in the Project
Area.
14. Amendment to Section 502.7 of the Plan.
a. Section 502.7 is amended by adding a new sentence at the end of the second
sentence of the second paragraph as follows: The addition of the geographic area to the Project
Area pursuant to the First Amendment does not reset the bases; however, for the area added, the
base value is the assessed value as of January 1 of the year in which the municipality approved the
expansion or, in this instance, January 1, 2021.
the total taxable value of the City. Even assuming an increase in values for 2022,the combined adjusted base values
of the revenue allocation areas would not exceed 10%of the current assessed taxable value for the entire City.
3 Less area deannexed by the First Amendment to the Meridian Revitalization Plan Urban Renewal Project,and the

Item 5. F354]
b. Section 502.7 is amended by adding a new footnote following the fourth
sentence of the second paragraph as follows: House Bill 389 passed during the 2021 Legislative
Session, effective in significant part as of January 1, 2021, further limits a taxing entity's ability
to increase the property tax portion of its budget. The Supplement to the Economic Feasibility
Study: Financial Analysis Related to the 2021 Annexation, included as Attachment 5A, has
considered the impact of House Bill 389 on the Project's overall feasibility.
C. Section 502.7 is amended by adding a new footnote following the first
sentence of the fifth paragraph as follows: House Bill 389 amended Idaho Code Sections 63-802
and 63-301A limiting the value placed on the new construction roll and available to a taxing district
for a budget capacity increase. This could result in lower levy rates over time.
d. Section 502.7 is amended by deleting the last sentence of the fifth paragraph
and replacing it as follows: Upon termination of this Plan, as amended by the First Amendment,
and the Amended Project Area, the taxing entities will be able to include a percentage of the
accumulated new construction roll value in setting the following year's budget (subject to any
applicable cap)pursuant to Idaho Code Sections 63-802 and 63-301A.
e. Section 502.7 is amended by adding new paragraphs following the end of
the seventh paragraph as follows:
Pursuant to the First Amendment and Attachment 5A concerning the
expansion, as 2021 certified levy rates are not determined until late
September 2021,the 2020 certified levy rates have been used in Attachment
5A for purposes of the analysis.7 Those taxing districts and rates are as
follows:

6 Pursuant to House Bill 389,80%of the total eligible increment value is added to the new construction roll.
7 Due to the timing of the taxing districts'budget and levy setting process,certification of the 2021 levy rates did
not occur until this First Amendment had been prepared and considered by the Agency.In order to provide a basis to
analyze the impact on the taxing entities,the 2020 levy rates are used.Use of the 2020 levy rates provides a more
accurate base than estimating the 2021 levy rates.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE URBAN RENEWAL
PLAN FOR THE UNION DISTRICT URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT- 10
Item 5. F355]
House Bill 587, as amended in the Senate, effective July 1, 2020,
amends Idaho Code Section 50-2908 altering the allocation of revenue
allocation funds to the Agency from the Ada County Highway District
levy9.This amendment will apply to the expansion area10 added by this First
Amendment and provides: "[i]n the case of a revenue allocation area first
formed or expanded to include the property on or after July 1,2020,all taxes
levied by any highway district,unless the local governing body that created
the revenue allocation area has responsibility for the maintenance of roads
or highways" will be allocated to the applicable highway district, which in
this case is the Ada County Highway District.
However, amended Idaho Code Section 50-2908 further provides
the highway district and Agency may enter into an agreement for a different
allocation.A copy of any agreement is required to be submitted to the Idaho
State Tax Commission and to the Ada County Clerk by the Ada County
Highway District as soon as practicable after the parties have entered into
the agreement and by no later than September 1 of the year in which the
agreement takes effect. The Agency intends to work with the Ada County
Highway District to enter into an agreement allowing the Agency to retain
the revenues from the highway district levies for the expansion area. No
agreement is required for the original Project Area.
The Study has made certain assumptions concerning the levy rate.
The levy rate is estimated to be 10%lower than the combined 2020 certified
levy rate to adjust for the impact of House Bill 389, as well as considering
the rapidly increasing property values. The levy rate is anticipated to remain
level for the life of the Project Area. As the actual impact of the property
value fluctuations on the levy rate is unknown, the Study has assumed a
combined conservative levy rate of .0053. Land values are estimated to
inflate at 8%/year for five (5)years and then inflate at a rate of 4%/year for
the remaining duration of the Project Area. Improvement values are
estimated to inflate at a rate of 10%/year for five (5) years, and thereafter
are estimated to inflate at a rate of 5%/year for the duration of the Project
Area. Estimated new development is anticipated occur annually and be
fully on the tax rolls from year 2025 through 2029. If the overall levy rate
is less than projected,or if expected development fails to occur as estimated,
the Agency shall receive fewer funds from revenue allocation. The Study
has also considered the timing of the original projects identified in the Plan
and pushed back the completion timeline where necessary to account for
current market conditions.
9 Senate Bill 1107,as amended in the Senate,effective July 1,2021,made a corresponding amendment to Idaho
Code Section 40-1415(3)to address the responsibility for funding certain urban renewal projects.

ATTACHMENT 5.1A
Public Improvements within the Revenue Allocation Area
This attachment includes a projected list of proposed public works or improvements within
the Union District Project Area, as amended by the First Amendment to the Urban Renewal
Plan for the Union District Urban Renewal Project (the "First Amendment"),which added
approximately 1.46 acres to the Union District Project Area pursuant to Idaho Code
Sections 50-2903A(1)(a)(ii) and 50-2033 (the "Amended Project Area"). This Attachment
5A,the Supplement to the Economic Feasibility Study: Financial Analysis Related to the
2021 Annexation, is intended to address the scope of projects related to the expansion
area; however, portions of the Economic Feasibility Study may be restated if additional
information is available related to the timing of projects impacting revenue generation and
project funding in the expansion area. The proposed improvements within the Amended
Project Area include improvements to streets, utilities, and other public rights-of-way
amenities as well as construction and/or improvements to parks, plazas and open space, a
community center, facade improvements, public parking (structured and surface parking),
property acquisition to support development and/or redevelopment goals, and brownfield
and/or environmental clean-up.
The Union District Improvement List set forth below identifies needed investments to
support private investment in capital facilities. Capital facilities generally have long useful
lives and significant costs. The overall project and the infrastructure to support it are all
consistent with the vision articulated in the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan,
Destination: Downtown Plan,the future land use map and as required in City development
regulations. The cost estimates provided by owner/developers and the City are based
upon prices for similar construction in the area.
Estimated costs expected to be incurred in implementing the Urban Renewal Plan for the
Union District Urban Renewal Project (the "Plan") as amended by the First Amendment are
as follows:
Union District Improvement List
Community Center Construction $6,450,000
Net District Cost Construction $6,450,000
Community Center Site Improvements $1,615,000
Structured Public Parking $4,250,000
Sub-Total $5,865,000
Total Community Center Cost $12,315,000

Proposed Public Infrastructure, including Engineering, Design, Installation,
Construction, and/or Reconstruction of:
Improvements to 3rd Street
Improvements to Broadway Avenue
Intersection Improvements and Rail Crossing Safety Enhancements
Pedestrian improvements
Streetscape Improvements
Sewer Infrastructure Improvements
Water Infrastructure Improvements
Electrical Distribution Improvements
Right-of-Way Landscaping Improvements
Utility Relocations
Lateral Relocation and Improvements
Irrigation and Drainage Improvements
Public Improvements Sub-total $1,215,000
Additional Public Parking $3,810,000
Other Eligible Public Infrastructure Improvements
Facade Improvements $750,000
Property Acquisition $3,500,000
Public Plazas, Parks &Open Space $3,000,000
Environmental Remediation $2,250,000
Idaho Avenue Improvements $1,000,000
Planning Studies $259,000
Grand Total $28,099,000
The projects and estimated costs have been derived from Galena Opportunity Fund and
updated by the City and the Meridian Development Corporation (MDC) based upon similar
works being carried out in the broader community and existing market conditions. The
costs related to the expansion area improvements are estimated in 2021 dollars and are
not inflated. Costs will likely vary from the costs detailed here, as they will be subject to
inflation and further project refinement and timing. The cost estimates used in this
analysis are considered estimates for the purpose of financial planning.
The Amended Project Area is estimated to generate $25,389,904 in tax increment revenue
between 2020 and 20401 in addition to the initial $100,000 loan from the MDC to activate
the program.Additional potential sources of funding for the identified projects may include
funding in the amount of$3,800,000 from the City to support the Community Center

would occur through the City's appropriations/budget process. Further funding may be
available through grants.
The total from all sources is estimated to be $29,289,904. There are presently$28,099,000
of project costs identified in the Union District Improvement List provided by developers,
property owners and the City. The fiscal analysis generally assumes projects will be
implemented by developers as part of certain private developments within the Union
District Project Area, as amended, specifically related to the Meridian Station Project and
the Civic Block Project as contemplated in the original Plan, and the Idaho Block project in
the expansion area. It is assumed that the developers will be reimbursed through Owner
Participation Agreements (OPA) from resources derived from the Amended Revenue
Allocation Area established by the Union District Project Area, as amended by the First
Amendment. Projects are also anticipated to occur on a pay-as-you-go basis, in addition to
funding from other public entities, if available, and any available grant funding.
Administrative costs over the 20-year life of the district are estimated at$920,000 or
approximately 3.16% of total estimated revenue. The initial inter-district loan to support
startup costs is assumed to be repaid at 5% simple interest for a total obligation of
$115,0002.
The total estimated expenditures equal $29,134,000, leaving a $155,903 positive program
balance of at the end of the 20-year term. See attached cash flow analysis for detailed
estimates.
The Plan, as amended by the First Amendment, provides for the Plan and Amended Project
Area to extend through its maximum term of 20 years. This First Amendment will
constitute the one-time annexation to the Union District Project Area as permitted in Idaho
Code 50-2033.
Secure funding includes revenue allocation funds and is money MDC is highly likely to
receive. The funds may not be in MDC's possession at the beginning of the Plan period, but
it is virtually certain that MDC will receive the funds. MDC may need to take specific
actions to generate the funding,but those actions are within its powers. Despite the high
probability of secure funding, no project can proceed until a specific, enforceable funding
plan is in place.
Potential funding is money that might be received by MDC. In every case MDC is eligible for
the funding, and the source of funding exists under current law. However, each potential
funding source requires one or more additional steps or decisions before MDC can obtain
the resources, and the ultimate decision is outside of MDC's independent control. The
City's potential capital contribution and grant funds are an example of potential funding.
Thus, potential funding is not assumed in determining financial feasibility.
z The amount of revenue allocation proceeds dedicated to the administration of the Union District, as amended
[$80Z183 shown in Forecast]is supplemented by the Inter-district loan to produce the full amount over the life of
the District.
Item 5. F369]
Unfunded projects, or portions of projects lack secure or potential funding. At this time, all
projects are anticipated to be funded.
The amount of tax increment contributed to the project will vary depending upon the
actual cost of infrastructure.
The Plan, as amended by the First Amendment, proposes certain public improvements that
will facilitate development in the Amended Project Area. The overall investment package
could be funded from a variety of financing methods and sources. The primary method of
financing MDC's obligation will be through the use of tax increment revenue (i.e.,
incremental property taxes from the revenue allocation area). This Plan, as amended by
the First Amendment, anticipates that at least a portion of the tax increment revenue will
be used to reimburse an owner/developer through a negotiated agreement for some or all
of the eligible improvement costs or through direct investment by MDC.
Other sources of funding for project may include, but are not limited to:
• Local Improvement District (LID)
• Business Improvement District (BID)
• Development Impact Fees
• Franchise Fees
• Grants from federal, state, local, regional agencies and/or private entities
• Other bonds, notes and/or loans
• Improvements and/or payments by developers
The total project costs and the amount of tax increment are estimates. The estimated
project costs and revenues are based on MDC's present knowledge and expectations
supported by detailed information from property owners, developers, City and MDC staff
and MDC's consultants based in part upon current construction projects in the broader
community.
Summary of Projects
Based on the Union District Improvement List, as amended by the First Amendment, set
forth above,the estimated total costs for the public improvements are $28,099,000.

ATTACHMENT 5.2A
Economic Feasibility Study
The Plan, as amended by the First Amendment, is economically feasible because the
proposed development is sufficient to fully cover the anticipated cost of the redevelopment
program.
The economic feasibility of the Plan, as amended by the First Amendment, is based on the
following factors:
• The amount of development anticipated in the Amended Project Area
• The timing of the proposed taxable development
• The nature of the proposed development
• The amount of tax revenue to be generated by the proposed development
• The cost of public improvement projects.
• If revenue equals or exceeds project costs, the Plan is economically feasible.
The following is a summary of the analysis and estimates of the factors used to determine
the economic feasibility of the Plan, as amended by the First Amendment.
The Economic Feasibility Analysis
Summary:
Over the course of the Plan and the Union District Project Area, as amended by the First
Amendment, $25,389,904 of Tax Increment Revenue is estimated to be generated using the
development scenarios proposed by property owners/developers within the Union District
Project Area, as amended by the First Amendment, the City and MDC, in consultation with
its consultants. The Economic Feasibility Study assumes 10% of annual revenue allocation
area proceeds, or TIF revenue, will be used for administration of the Union District Project
Area, as amended by the First Amendment,with that amount capped at$50,000 per year,
for a total of$920,000 for administration costs over the 20-year lifespan of the District.
The attached spreadsheets entitled "Union District Revenue Model, as amended by the First
Amendment" and "Union District, as amended by the First Amendment, Cash Flow
Analysis" gives a more detailed outlook on the revenues and expenses of the development
scenario.
The following assumptions were made in the formulation of the Financial Feasibility
Analysis:
o Land Value Increase @ 8%/Year for 5 years then 4%/year through the
remainder of the term
o Improvement Value Increase @ 10%/Year then 5%/year through the
remainder of the term,
Item 5. F372]
o Tax Rate reduced by 10% and then held constant through the life of the Plan
o Total Cost of Improvements over the life of the project: $28,099,000
o Tax rate does not include levies excluded pursuant to Idaho Code 50-2908,
such as voter approved bonds/levies after 2007,judgment levies or the
School District Plant or supplemental levies excluded by law.
The Economic Feasibility Analysis shows that the project will generate adequate funds
within the Amended Project Area to fund the necessary capital improvements.
