PROCLAMATIONS [Action Item]
1. Denim Day for Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Simison: Okay. Then with that we will move on to Item 1, which is proclamation for Denim
Day for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. If Drew and Dara could join me at the podium
and anyone else that may be here from the WCA. So, Council and community, we are
here today with the WCA. I have really appreciated the relationship and partnership and
engagement a little bit with me, but it's really more with our Police Department, which is
really where that strong relationship which exists and, unfortunately, I'm not the best
representative, because I -- I don't own a pair of jeans that would pass our dress policy
for the city, so I'm going to have to work on that. But for -- but for today we are going to
do a proclamation and I know we will be participating with a photo tomorrow from that
standpoint. So, whereas the United States government has declared April as Sexual
Assault Awareness Month and the Women and Children's Alliance has declared April
27th, 2022, as Denim Day and whereas both events are intended to draw attention --
attention to the fact that rape and sexual assault remain a serious issue in our society
and whereas Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Denim Day were also instituted to
call attention to misconceptions and misinformation about rape and sexual assault and
the problem that many in society remain disturbingly uninformed with respect to issues of
assault and forcible rape and whereas with proper education on the matter there is
compelling evidence that we can successfully reduce incidence of this alarming and
psychologically damaging crime and whereas the City of Meridian is an important partner
in the Women and Children's Alliance efforts to educate our community about the true
impact of rape and sexual assault. Therefore, I, Mayor Robert E. Simison, do hereby
proclaim April 27th, 2022, as Denim Day for Sexual Assault Awareness Month in the City
Page 72
Meridian City Council
Item#4. April 26,2022

of Meridian and encourage all citizens to speak out against sexual assault and support
local efforts to provide help and healing to victims of these crimes. So, with that I will
present this proclamation, but if you want to make any comments first.
Piccola: I just want to thank everybody for being here today. Denim Day is a really
important thing for us at the WCA. We are here to educate the community about
awareness of sexual assault and domestic violence. It's a huge huge thing that is
happening, so we are -- we are here to support. So, I thank you very much.
Simison: Thank you, Drew.
Piccola: Appreciate it.
Hoaglun: And, Mr. Mayor, as you are headed back up --
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: -- I just want to take this as a point of personal privilege. You know, we do
proclamations quite often in this body and -- and this one is particularly important. You
know, if you listen carefully the proclamation as citizens of Meridian to speak out against
sexual assault and to support efforts to help and -- to provide help and healing to victims
of these crimes and -- and, you know, our citizens of Meridian may wonder what -- what
--what can --what can they do, you know. Well, I -- I have a suggestion. Primary election
is May 17th. It's coming up and if you pay attention there is a statewide -- a candidate for
statewide office who revealed personal details about someone who reported a sexual
assault and they later lied about that under oath. That court case began today and it's
going to determine whether the allegations are true or not, but that's our process. That's
how we go about things. It just -- the actions of that state legislator who published those
personal details I think has a chilling effect on people who need to report a sexual assault
and I believe if we want to support -- as citizens of this community want to support those
who speak out against sexual assault and provide that healing to victims, as we are asking
our citizens to do today, I -- I suggest that they not elect this person to any public office
based on their despicable actions. It has led to intimidation and humiliation of that victim
and I -- I really truly feel morally repugnant by that action and so I just call on the citizens
of Meridian to make your voice heard and I'm not telling you who to vote for, but I'm asking
you on May 17th -- I hope you don't vote for that person. It was wrong. Thank you.
ACTION ITEMS
2. Public Hearing for Ruger Gardens Subdivision (SHP-2022-0006) by KM
Engineering, LLP, Located at 6241 N. Linder Rd., Near the Northeast
Corner of Linder Rd. and Chinden Blvd.
A. Request: To Short Plat Lot 7 of the Knighthill Center Subdivision No.
2 for two (2) commercial building lots.
Page 73
Meridian City Council
Item#4. April 26,2022
Page 4 of 19
Simison: Thank you. With that we will move on our -- rest of our agenda for this evening.
Item 2 is a public hearing for Ruger Gardens Subdivision, SHP-2022-0006. We will open
this public hearing with staff comments.
Dodson: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Hopefully this is a simple one for me for once, so -- let's
hope for that. As noted this is for Ruger Gardens. It is a short plat. The existing site
consists of 1.85 acres of land, currently zoned C-G. Been zoned C-G since 2013. Well,
probably before that actually. Located at 6241 North Linder. It's actually in the southwest
corner of Linder and Chinden. The request before you is too short plat Lot 7 within the
Knighthill Center Subdivision No. 2 into two commercial building lots. The proposed short
plat is for an existing lot. So, again, I kind of outlined it here for you. This larger lot, 1.85
acres, proposing to just basically split it in half for ownership purposes. The proposed
lots are internal to the overall development as seen here and they have no public road
frontage. All of the existing commercial buildings have an existing cross-parking and
cross-access agreement for the overall development and these lots will be subject to that
and staff has included a condition of approval to note that and require that on the plat.
Future building sites will be reviewed through the certificate of zoning compliance and
design review process for code compliance. The submitted landscape plan -- this is the
short plat. The submitted landscape plans reference the original subdivision, which
includes the buffer along the southern boundary. This buffer has not been completed,
because that lot has not yet developed. This is that original landscape plan. So, this
landscape buffer has not been completed. Staff has reviewed the proposed short plat for
substantial compliance with the criteria within the UDC and the required zoning
regulations within the C-G zoning district, as well as the regulations outlined in the existing
development agreement and the short plat is in substantial -- substantial compliance with
all of those. After that I will stand for any questions.
Simison: Thank you, Joe. Council, any questions for staff? Okay. Is the applicant here?
If you would state your name and -- either one. State your name and address for the
record and be recognized for 15 minutes.
Mansfield: Great. Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Council Members. Thanks for having me. My
name is Ethan Mansfield. I work for Hawkins Companies. 855 West Broad Street in
Boise, Idaho. We are the developer on the project. We are pleased to present the short
plat, SHP-2020-0006. It's a two lot short plat on a 1.85 acre parcel located at 6241 North
Linder on the southwest corner of Chinden and Linder. Joe covered pretty much
everything. So, thank you, Joe, for the presentation. I will just, you know, kind of just go
over some of the high points that I think are interesting. As Joe said, it's zoned C-G,
general commercial, and is located within a commercial subdivision, the Knighthill Center
Subdivision. Hawkins is purchasing the north one acre lot from the developer of the
existing center and, of course, when a user for this parcel is identified, as Joe mentioned,
we will pursue the site plan review or any other entitlements that might be necessary at
that time. We agree to the condition to maintain cross-access and cross-parking and
utilities are right there next to the site. So, thanks for your consideration this evening and
I will stand for any questions. Thank you.

Simison: Council, any questions?
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: Thank you. Thanks, Mr. Mansfield. Do you have an idea of who a user is or
what type of user you are expecting. I guess I -- a little more detail on what is envisioned
would be helpful.
Mansfield: Sure. Yeah. We -- it's -- it's a -- it's a little difficult to say exactly who we are
envisioning, because we have got several interested groups. A daycare user is kind of
our -- our top option at this time, but, yeah, there is no really definitive answer for you.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: So, would it be fair to characterize it as like a neighborhood retail type use then?
Are there restaurant type uses? I just want to make sure -- kind of have an idea of the
possibilities.
Mansfield: Yeah. This would certainly be kind of a neighborhood oriented use kind of to
serve the surrounding neighborhood.
Strader: Thank you.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Mr. Mansfield, just a request and, granted, this may have already been
resolved. I was over in that area about three, four weeks ago and noticed there is a lot
of waste and refuse, it's kind of become a little bit of a dirty lot. Again, it's not right off the
-- the regular street and so maybe not -- our code enforcement hasn't seen it, but maybe
a request that you or your team maybe do a site visit and take care of the -- some pretty
significant trash. I think there was a broken shopping cart that looked like from the Fred
Meyer that had found its way over there. So, I think maybe a -- a quick review and getting
that lot cleaned up would be appreciated.
Mansfield: Mr. Mayor, Council Member Cavener, we -- yeah. Noted. We can certainly
do that.
Cavener: Thanks.
Simison: Council, any additional questions for the applicant? Okay. Thank you. Mr.

Clerk, do we have anyone signed up to provide testimony on this item?
Johnson: Mr. Mayor, only the applicant signed up in advance.
Simison: Okay. Well, if there is anybody that would like to provide testimony if you -- if
you would like to come forward. You can go and have a seat and -- come -- go ahead
and come on up and you will be recognized for three minutes. Just state your name and
address for the record, please.
Sevoy: I'm Paul Sevoy and I run the Sevoy Gallery down the street and I support
Meridian, Idaho, a lot and, in fact, your job is a tough one.
Simison: Mr. Savoy, can you speak in the mic.
Sevoy: Yeah. The question I have is there any zoning change request involved in this
request?
Simison: I will just let staff answer.
Dodson: Mr. Mayor, no. Just to split the lot in two. That's it.
Sevoy: That's the only question I had.
Simison: Okay.
Sevoy: Thank you.
Simison: Thank you. Is there anybody else that would like to provide testimony on this
item, either in the room or online? If you are online you can use the raise your hand
feature. Seeing no one in either place, would the applicant like any final words? Okay.
Applicant has waived. Council, I will turn this over to you.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: I move that we close -- close the public hearing on SHP-2022-0006.
Cavener: Second.
Simison: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing. Is there any
discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed nay? The ayes have it
and the public hearing is closed.
MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT.

MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. TWO ABSENT.
3. Public Hearing for Katsura Subdivision (SHP-2022-0005) by Kent
Brown, Located at Lot 2, Block 2 of the Medimont Subdivision No. 1
and 225 and 335 S. Locust Grove Rd.
A. Request: Short Plat consisting of 1 buildable lot and 2 common lots
on 3.8 acres of land in the I-L zoning district.
Simison: Next item up is a public hearing for Katsura Subdivision, SHP-2022-0005. We
will open this public hearing with staff comments from Alan.
Tiefenbach: Greetings, Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. This is a short plat. The site
consists of 3.8 acres of land. It's zoned I-L. It's located on the west side of South Locust
Grove Road, north of East Water Tower. You probably remember this. This came to you
in 2021. This was an annexation for three and a half acres of property. So, this property
here. This is an annexation for this to construct a 67,000 square foot warehouse as an
expansion of the existing Intermountain Wood Products building. I'm just going to put
these up just for your reference, because it's -- it's very simple, but it's confusing. So, the
existing Intermountain Wood projects are within what's called the Medimont Subdivision.
This is the first plat, the Medimont plat one. This was approved in 1997 and along with
this came a development agreement and the development agreement required this
permanent 20 foot landscape strip, which hopefully you can see the pointer on my cursor
here. This was actually platted into this plat. The purpose of that was to provide a
landscape buffer and the reason why is that at the time this happened all of these
properties here were residential properties. This was subsequently platted into the
Medimont plat two, which you can't see here, but is over here. So, this is the bottom
section of that and the Intermountain Wood building, those were subsequently
constructed on these lots here. Oh, sorry. Yeah. The existing buildings were constructed
Page 77
Meridian City Council
Item#4. April 26,2022
Page 8 1 -
on these lots here. Then in November the annexation came in before you to annex
additional property to build a warehouse and that warehouse was over here. When we
were originally going through all the early planning for this warehouse the Stonebridge
Property Owners Association sold the applicant this little sliver of land and, then, the
applicant chopped down all the trees. Again, you probably remember all this from the
annexation. Staff said wait -- you need to stop on this, there is a development agreement
that says you have to have all these trees, et cetera, et cetera. Came in front of you, you
approved a development agreement modification, so the applicant did not have to provide
those trees with the requirement that the amount of trees that they chopped down, that
caliper inches has to planted somewhere else on the property. A condition of approval of
this plat was that they come in now and do a formal sub -- a formal short plat to merge
and that's what sort of I believe we are here to try to make this easier for you. So, this is
the short plat. The existing business is here. This is the warehouse lot that you recently
approved for annexation. This is the piece of property that is being merged. It will now
--there is now a new common lot parcel here, which is what was left over from that. There
is a new common lot property that is here that is left over. Both of those are still
maintained by the property owners association and, then, what you see here is being
merged into the property and so, again, on the left-hand side is now the short plat. What
you see on the right-hand side that the applicant has subsequently already finished their
certificate -- certificate of zoning compliance for the entire warehouse. The design --
everything is done and the last condition of approval of this CZC is approval of this short
plat. Hopefully I explained that well, because there is a lot happening there.
Simison: Thank you, Alan. Council, any questions? Okay. Mr. Applicant. Mr. Brown,
nice to see you.
Brown: For the record Kent Brown. 3161 East Springwood. Alan, could have made it
really simple. We were in for an annexation, required this short plat, and we are here
tonight with the short plat. In looking things over there is a couple of conditions I saw that
kind of caused me concern. Condition B-1 under Public Works site specific, it's asking
us to put streetlights on Ten -- South Ten Mile Road. I don't think that that's probably
correct. It's probably a little closer to home I would think. And, then, everything else was
kind of covered in the development agreement, but there is a Condition 12 under general
that asks for us to get our mailboxes approved. Well, we only had one buildable lot and
it will be a commercial building and in every subdivision we do right now we do this
mailbox letter with -- with the post office. When it first came about it was because the
development community was still allowing people to have mailboxes out in front of their
houses and the post office wanted to go to cluster boxes and now it's just kind of become
habitual that every subdivision comes in, thoughtless of what this is, and it's probably one
of the hardest conditions for me to comply with. I have spent at times three months trying
to get a letter from the post office to approve a mailbox and I would ask that this one get
removed, because we are going to have a mailbox with the warehouse. There is -- there
is no cluster boxes that are involved. I would like a bunch of them removed, but I have a
final plat that is built and I'm trying to get it in and I have submitted -- I'm a month and a
half now trying to get the post office -- and -- and they are busier and -- and she's always
been really good at the post office, the postmaster, in kicking them out, but it's just gotten
Page 78
Meridian City Council
Item#4. April 26,2022
Page 9 of 19
slower and slower and I have to become pretty obnoxious and I can't even go in and have
her sign something, she has to e-mail it and send it with the letterhead. So I would ask
that that condition be removed.
Simison: So, just to be clear, Kent, you guys don't want to post -- delivery to this -- you
want to go to the rest of the building where it already has the post office?
Brown: Most likely, yes. They could have one for this building also, but there is -- there
is not a need to go find out for the postmaster -- I mean it's where am I going to put it?
Well, it's going to be on the building someplace. It's -- it's not going to be out on the street.
It's not going to be -- it's going to be an individual delivery like any other commercial
business that takes place.
Simison: Council, any questions for the applicant or staff, clarification on those two items?
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Alan, I don't think we have ever received a request about post office
coordination. I don't think I have ever had anybody push back on that condition. So, I'm
curious about staff's response, if you have got any feelings. I mean can we -- can we
modify this for -- to not have any type of postal service? Is -- is that allowed? I mean --
I'm kind of shooting in the dark on this one, Alan. So, I'm hoping you, as the subject
matter expert, might have some advice or direction for Council.
Tiefenbach: Alan Tiefenbach, associate planner. I'm caught off guard. This is actually
the first time I have heard this issue. That's a standard subdivision comment usually
intended for subdivisions. In this particular case this warehouse is part of a larger
business. I would leave it to the applicant whether they see that -- whether they think that
there is going to be additional mail sent to that address. I don't have any significant
comments one way or the other about that. As far as Public Works, should have noticed
that Public Works didn't delete their comment in their general comments. That might not
have been a very good answer, but I'm not sure what to tell you.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: So, Kent --
Brown: So, we are asking that we will have postal delivery. I'm not asking that we don't.
It's just getting the -- the exact location. But what I give her is a map and put an X on it
and this is where the -- and I have never had -- well, you need to move that someplace
else from the Meridian postmaster. I -- I think it's really interesting, because this is red
tape that I created when I was at Boise City in the '90s and, actually, we got a promise
Page 79
Meridian City Council
Item#4. April 26,2022
Page 10 of —
from the postmaster for the -- the area that he would have these turned around within 24
hours. I'm doing a large development in southeast Boise -- southwest Boise and we spent
six months, because it-- it kind of freaked him out about seeing the --the --the big picture.
It's -- I know that you guys are familiar with The Oaks from stuff that's been going on. It's
like locating all the post office boxes -- if I got to do this pain and I view that it's easier for
the postmistress if I get it all at one time and so, then, I can do a project and not have to
go to her with every single phase, I try to do it that way and I have never had Meridian
come back and say move it. I have had other jurisdictions say it would be a little safer for
our delivery person if they are not standing out in traffic at this location. But that's -- that's
the only comments I have ever gotten in the hundreds of these that I have done.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Kent, because this is a -- at least a foreign request for me, I -- I will -- I will be
honest, I'm -- I'm not supportive of your request tonight, because I would like to get some
insight from the postal service kind of about this and so from -- from your perspective are
you supportive of a continuance to allow us some time to engage with the postal service
or you would rather take the conditions as is?
Brown: I -- I'm in the process of having the highway district sign this plat as -- as we are
right now and with this approval tonight I will have the -- the health department sign in a
couple of weeks and I can start sending a request to the postmistress to get a mailbox
approved on this building and I will do that.
Cavener: Thanks, Kent.
Simison: Mr. Dolsby, do you have any comment on the lights on Ten Mile comment?
Dolsby: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, that comment -- obviously, the Ten Mile is
-- I'm guessing a mistake in the comments. It was meant to be lights on Locust Grove
and not on Ten Mile, if there is lights required on there.
Brown: We have already done the zoning certificate. I didn't see any requests for lights
on that application, but that site plan -- couldn't see any lights -- yes. Thank you. I looked
at the zoning certificate approval. I didn't see any lights shown on that plan, which staff
and the -- and the architect have worked out, but that could be a mistake, too. The reason
the short plat ends up being kind of interesting in this -- this mechanism is that I don't
have construction drawings. I mean we have a sewer stub. We have a water stub. We
connect to it. We put in a fire hydrant. It is a different animal in the subdivision world
where someone's reviewing a construction drawing. There is existing sidewalk out on
Locust Grove. We are not -- you know, we put in a curb approach and close the curb
approach. Two curb approaches. This is what we are going to close. So, it's a pretty
simple part of the process.
Page 80

Cavener: Thanks, Kent.
Brown: But we are not opposed to doing lights if somebody asks us, but I don't -- I don't
know that we have a light requirement. Hopefully not on Ten Mile.
Simison: Council, any additional questions for the applicant?
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: So, Kent, to that condition, you know, it says a streetlight plan has not been
submitted or approved. If streetlights are required on Locust Grove, the applicant would
-- would comply, so --
Brown: Yeah.
Hoaglun: -- like that would work?
Brown: Yes.
Hoaglun: And just change that to Locust Grove. Okay.
Brown: Anything else?
Simison: Mr. Clerk, did we have anyone signed up on this item?
Johnson: Mr. Mayor, we did not.
Simison: Okay. Is there anyone in the audience or online that would like to provide
testimony on this item? If so come forward now or use the raise your hand feature.
Seeing no one, would the applicant like any final comments?
Brown: No.
Simison: Okay. Thank you very much.
Brown: Thank you. Thank you for listening on the -- the mailboxes. I have been bringing
it up with staff. It is something that -- there was a purpose in it. That purpose is gone for
the most part anymore. Anyway, thank you.
Cavener: Thanks, Kent.
Simison: Thank you.

4. Public Hearing Continued from March 1, 2022 for Black Cat Industrial
Project (H-2021-0064) by Will Goede of Sawtooth Development Group,
LLC, Located at 350, 745, 935, and 955 S. Black Cat Rd. and Parcel
S1216131860.
A. Request: Annexation of 130.19 acres of land with R-15 and I-L
zoning districts.
Simison: Next item is Item 4, which is a public hearing continued from March 1 st, 2022,
for Black Cat Industrial Project, H-2021-0064. Would the staff like to make any
comments?
Tiefenbach: Sure. Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, if -- if you recall this has been
Page 82
Meridian City Council
Item#4. April 26,2022
Page 13 of —
continued a few times. Most recently it was continued on March 1 st. The reason why it
was continued is that the applicant is continuing to work with ACHD to try to address the
concerns of the Council in regard to infrastructure and timing of road improvements.
When they came to you in March they had scenario A, B and C, which didn't go over well
with the Council. This was continued to today. The applicant e-mailed me today and said
we are just not there with ACHD yet. We -- there is some -- some legislation going on,
there is some funding they are discussing, they really want to try to come to you with a
more definitive answer in regard to improvements. That is why the applicant's
representative is requesting this be continued for a more substantial amount of time to
July 12th.
Simison: Thank you. Council, any questions?
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: One question regarding continuance to July 12th. Are we going to have to
renotice this hearing?
Tiefenbach: I will turn that to Mr. Nary. I believe it's a date certain, but --
Nary: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, it has been the -- the practice of the Council
to require renoticing when there is that extended date out and normally the Council would,
then, require the applicant to pay for it. It is in our code that can be directed towards the
applicant since it's their request.
Cavener: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Cavener.
Cavener: Before maybe any motions are made, just want to make the Council aware, I
will be absent on July 12th. Not saying that we need to continue it to a different date or
absolutely have it that date, just wanted -- those of you to be aware -- I won't be making
the motion, since I'm not here -- I'm not going to be here for it, but I just wanted Council
to be aware of that.
Strader: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Council Woman Strader.
Strader: I may -- I may not be here July 12th. I am not as organized as Councilman
Cavener. My kids will be attending something, so it's possible that I will be absent that
day as well. I just don't know yet. Just FYI.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Page 83

Page 14 of —
Simison: Might you also be absent on that --
Hoaglun: I have no idea. I have no plans.
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Ask our clerk. What would the following week, the 17th -- the 19th look like?
Simison: I assume we have nothing on the calendar --
Johnson: Yeah. Mr. Mayor, Council, I'm double checking. I don't believe we have
anything noticed that far. We do, however, have a hearing rescheduled to -- or continued
to July 12th for another application already.
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Yeah. That's -- that's a consideration. They have requested to July 12th. They
are not here to represent themselves.
Johnson: The applicant is online, Mr. Mayor.
Hoaglun: Oh.
Simison: Okay. And they are raising their hand, so -- yeah. Yes. Would the applicant
like to unmute themselves. Can they unmute?
Nelson: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, can you hear me?
Simison: Very low.
Nelson: How is this? Is this better?
Simison: Yes.
Nelson: Thank you for the opportunity to weigh in. July 19th works just fine.
Simison: Okay. And just for the record if you can state your name and address.
Nelson: Yes. Deborah Nelson. 601 West Bannock Street in Boise.
Simison: Thank you. Okay. Mr. Cavener, how does your calendar look on that day?
Cavener: Mr. Mayor, while I -- while I do have some other scheduling conflicts for that --
that day, I still feel comfortable the 19th is the better day and I will be here for that meeting.
Page 84
Meridian City Council
Item#4. April 26,2022
Page 15 of 19
Maybe a request for our clerk that we maybe could limit the other application items --
other items on the 19th, maybe just holding this one particular item would be helpful,
though.
Strader: Yeah. I will definitely be here.
Simison: Okay. All right. Then with that do we have a motion?
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: I move that we continue the public hearing for Black Cat Industrial Project, H-
2021-0064 to July 19th, 2022, and with the condition that the applicant is required to
renotice this public hearing.
Cavener: Second the motion.
Simison: I have a motion and a second. Is there discussion? No. Sorry, but -- we will
go back to take public comment from the public on this item. Okay. Sir, if you would like
to come forward. Just state your name and address for the record, please.
Sevoy: I'm Paul Sevoy. Yeah. Paul Sevoy. Of course I am a Meridian resident. I have
property on Overland Road, which is in the area that he wants to make a change to the
zoning, which is Black Cat. Now, this has come up before and it's been delayed again
and to me as an investor, it's a pure speculation. This is not a request for permission to
build something or to provide a service, it's just to rezone a piece of land and that piece
of land -- I would be bidding on it also. If you are going to take a piece of agricultural land
and make some sort of commercial idea of it, you are in a -- a wonderful area of Meridian,
which is -- so far has been not developed and it is a pretty area of Meridian. I would hate
to see that area become commercial when there is good housing in that area and is
already commercial availability of space. This to me is a pure speculation and I don't like
the idea of that at all and this has been delayed more than once, so I don't understand
why the party can't get their act together. Any questions for me?
Simison: Council, any questions?
Hoaglun: Mr. Mayor, no -- no question for Mr. Sevoy. Just -- just a comment. It -- it is
already zoned -- it has a commercial designation, but -- already has a commercial
designation. This request is to change -- to annex it based on that commercial
designation, but they want to change that to I-L, instead of the other commercial Ten Mile
specific designation.
Sevoy: Unless I'm looking at the wrong property, because the notice of this hearing is --
is on Black Cat Road and that area there is residential, so I don't understand it. I'm not
against any particular zoning that's correct, but the way the signs are posted they are
Page 85
Meridian City Council
Item#4. April 26,2022
Page 16 of —
posted in an agricultural area or residential area. They are not posting anything
commercial, because I know the area.
Hoaglun: And Mr. Mayor and Mr. Sevoy, I think on the east side it is a residential. West
side of Black Cat is a commercial Ten Mile designation.
Sevoy: I understand now. He must be straddling it then.
Hoaglun: And they do have an application for residential on one side.
Sevoy: I have no problem --
Hoaglun: The east side. And, then, on the west side they want to change that commercial
designation to I-L. Industrial.
Sevoy: I don't think that's a good idea in that area. If you look at that area it's a very
pretty area. If you are going to have commercial, you look at what is happening with
Amazon and all of the -- they -- they have bunched their area there and it's well done and
there is lots of areas that can contribute to the commercial development of property in the
area. Doesn't have to be in some of the choice areas. In fact, on my street are the best
trees that are existing still today from 90 to 100 years ago and we would like to keep that
thing going and I have property right on the hill there that's residential, about ten acres.
I'm not going to sell that property. I want to keep it like that for a long time. But if I get
pressed in there and -- I will just sell it and go somewhere else. I just think that's a horrible
thing to do to take a beautiful area like that and -- and hem it with something that is
potentially commercial.
Hoaglun: And Mr. Mayor?
Simison: Councilman Hoaglun.
Hoaglun: Follow up, Mr. Sevoy. And this is down at -- at Black Cat -- Black Cat and
Franklin Road.
Sevoy: Right.
Hoaglun: Right. So, what I would ask you is to come back on July 19th. We will be taking
testimony to that --
Sevoy: That would fine.
Hoaglun: -- so that would be great to have your comments on the record there during
that time.
Sevoy: Absolutely.

Industrial Project, H-2021-0064, to July 19th, 2022, and with the condition that the
applicant is required to renotice the -- the hearing.

Item #4: Black Cat Industrial Development - H-2021-0064
Application(s):
Annexation and zoning
Size of property, existing zoning, and location: This site consists of 126.57 acres of land, presently zoned RUT, located with
125.59 acres west of S. Black Cat Rd and .98 acres on the east side of S. Black Cat Rd.
Summary:
This is a proposal to annex 126.57 acres of land with the I-L zoning district to allow an industrial development of more than 2 million
square feet, and annex a .98 acre property with the R-15 zoning district to achieve contiguity to be eligible for annexation.
At the March 1, 2022 City Council Meeting, the Council continued this case to April 26, 2022 for the applicant to continue to address
traffic and infrastructure improvements and to propose conditions of approval for the development.
The applicant submitted proposed conditions of approval and findings prepared by the applicant’s development team. The summary of
these conditions are as follows:
1. The applicant proposes I-L zoning on the site, with all uses and dimensional standards allowed with the exception of a
prohibition on self-storage as a primary use.
2. Minimum design requirements are only required for building frontages facing S. Black Cat Rd., I-84, and the E-W Collector
bisecting the site.
3. The conditions contain a template for the E-W collector rather than the collector being required to meet Street Section C as
described in the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan.
4. Requirement that certificates of zoning compliance cannot be submitted until ACHD accepts the traffic study.
5. Standard public works conditions of approval.
Since the last Council meeting, the development area has been reduced. This is due to the property owner of 935 S. Black Cat Rd.
declining to extend their contract with the applicant. This has reduced the property by approximately 3.62 acres. Also, the applicant has
removed the fire station originally proposed at the northeast corner as the City does not credit land dedications toward impact fee
reductions.
Staff has not received any further correspondence from ACHD other than the Integrated Five Year Work Plan based on Meridian’s
priorities was adopted in January, and ACHD is unable to move up or prioritize projects in Meridian that are not in the IFWYP.
ACHD also noted the applicant does not have the ability to obtain the necessary right-of-way to make full roadway improvements to
Franklin Road or Black Cat Road, or intersections along those roadways. The applicant will be required to construct center turn lanes
and deceleration lanes where warranted and feasible.
Written Testimony: None
Notes:
Possible Motions:
Approval
After considering all staff, applicant and public testimony, I move to approve File Number H-2021-0064, as presented in the staff
report for the hearing date of December 21, 2021: (Add any proposed modifications to conditions)

Changes to Agenda:
Item #3: Katsura Subdivision (SHP-2022-0005)
Application(s):
Short Plat
Size of property, existing zoning, and location: This site consists of 3.8 acres of land, zoned I-L, located on the west side of S.
Locust Grove Rd north of E. Watertower Rd.
Summary:
In November of 2021, the City Council approved the annexation of 3.5 acres of unplatted property with the I-L zoning district. The
purpose of this annexation was for the construction of a 67,000 sq. ft. warehouse as an expansion of the existing Intermountain Wood
Products business at 300 and 330 S. Adkins Way (directly to the west).
The existing Intermountain Wood Products buildings are within the Medimont Subdivision Development Agreement, which was
approved in 1997. This DA requires a permanent 20-foot-wide landscaped planting strip along the east boundary landscaped with 6-8-
foot-high scotch pines at a maximum distance of 15 ft. each. This was to provide a screen for the adjacent residential properties. The
landscape buffer was platted into Common Lot 2, Block 2 of the Medimont Subdivision No 1 and is owned and maintained by the
Stonebridge Owners Association.
In February of 2021, the portion of the common lot between the existing business and the parcels that were to be annexed were
deeded to the applicant, and the applicant removed all the required trees within this area in anticipation of the expansion. After being
informed this was not in compliance with the approved DA, the applicant requested a modification to the development agreement to
allow the merging of this portion of the landscape buffer into the warehouse property. The Council approved the DA Mod with a
condition of approval that required replacement of the trees that were removed as part of the subsequent warehouse CZC. A short plat
to complete this merger was a condition of approval of the annexation. This will result in one buildable lot, and two remaining portions
of the common lot still owned by the Stonebridge Owners Association for a buffer between the remaining properties. The Certificate of
Zoning Compliance was recently completed and an updated landscape plan was addressed as part of the CZC.
Written Testimony: None
Notes:
Possible Motions:

IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed short plat will split an existing commercial lot in the Knighthill Center Subdivision into
two (2) commercial building lots for ownership purposes. The proposed lots are internal to the overall
Knighthill Subdivision and therefore have no public road frontage; furthermore,the adjacent public
roads(Chinden and Linder)are constructed at their anticipated widths. Access to the subject lots
would be from existing drive aisles on each side of the existing site. Future commercial building sites
will be reviewed through the CZC and DES application process for code compliance against
development regulations(i.e.pedestrian connectivity,parking,parking lot landscaping, etc.). There is
an existing cross-parking and cross-access agreement for the Knighthill Subdivision which these
subject sites should also be bound by—staff has included a condition of approval consistent with this.
The submitted landscape plans reference the original subdivision landscaping which includes the
buffer along the southern boundary—this buffer landscaping adjacent to this site only has not been
completed because this lot has yet to be developed. Despite this landscape buffer being previously
required to be constructed,there is no commercial development along this area of the plat so Staff
finds it acceptable to maintain that until such time the lot closest to this buffer develops. Staff has
included the previously approved landscape plan for reference and has proposed a condition of
approval noting the expected timeline of construction for this landscape buffer.
Staff has reviewed the proposed short plat for substantial compliance with the criteria set forth in
UDC 11-6B-5A.2 and the required zoning regulations of the C-G zoning district and deems the short
plat to be in substantial compliance with said requirements.
V. DECISION
Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed short plat with the conditions noted in Section VII of this
report and in accord with the findings in Section VIII.

IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
In November of 2021,the City Council approved the annexation of 3.5 acres of unplatted property
with the I-L zoning district. The purpose of this annexation was for the construction of a 67,000 sq. ft.
warehouse as an expansion of the existing Intermountain Wood Products business at 300 and 330 S.
Adkins Way(directly to the west).
The existing Intermountain Wood Products buildings are within the Medimont Subdivision
Development Agreement,which was approved in 1997 (Inst. 97072405). Provision 4d requires a
permanent 20-foot-wide landscaped planting strip along the east boundary landscaped with 6-8-foot-
high scotch pines at a maximum distance of 15 ft. each. This was to provide a screen for the adjacent
residential properties. The landscape buffer was platted into Common Lot 2,Block 2 of the Medimont
Subdivision No I and is owned and maintained by the Stonebridge Owners Association.
In February of 2021,the portion of the common lot between the existing business and the parcels that
were to be annexed were deeded to the applicant, and the applicant removed all the required trees
within this area in anticipation of the expansion. After being informed this was not in compliance
with the approved DA,the applicant requested a modification to the development agreement to allow
the merging of this portion of the landscape buffer into the warehouse property. The Council
approved the DA Mod with a condition of approval that required replacement of the trees that were
removed as part of the subsequent warehouse CZC. A short plat to complete this merger was a
condition of approval of the annexation. This will result in one buildable lot, and two remaining
portions of the common lot still owned by the Stonebridge Owners Association for a buffer between
the remaining properties. The Certificate of Zoning Compliance was recently completed(CZC A-
2022-0040) and an updated landscape plan was addressed as part of the CZC.
Staff has reviewed the requested short plat proposal and has determined that it meets the criteria for
approval per UDC 11-6B-5.
V. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed short plat with the conditions noted in Section VII of
this report.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tiefenbach, Associate City Planner
RE: Black Cat Industrial Development-H-2021-0064
At the March 1, 2022 City Council Meeting, the Council continued this case to April 26,
2022 for the applicant to continue to address traffic and infrastructure improvements and
to propose conditions of approval for the development.
Attached are proposed conditions of approval and findings prepared by the applicant's
development team. The summary of these conditions are as follows:
1. The applicant proposes I-L zoning on the site, with all uses and dimensional standards
allowed with the exception of a prohibition on self-storage as a primary use.
2. Minimum design requirements are only required for building frontages facing S.
Black Cat Rd., I-84, and the E-W Collector bisecting the site.
3. The conditions contain a template for the E-W collector rather than the collector
being required to meet Street Section C as described in the Ten Mile Interchange
Specific Area Plan.
4. Requirement that certificates of zoning compliance cannot be submitted until ACHD
accepts the traffic study.
5. Standard public works conditions of approval.
Since the last Council meeting, the development area has been reduced. This is due to the
property owner of 935 S. Black Cat Rd. declining to extend their contract with the
applicant. This has reduced the property by approximately 3.62 acres. Also, the applicant
has removed the fire station originally proposed at the northeast corner as the City does
not credit land dedications toward impact fee reductions.

A. ANNEXATION AND REZONE
1. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the
comprehensive plan;
The City Council finds that the I-L zoning district and proposed light industrial use is
consistent with the existing Mixed Employment FL UM and TMISAP designations for this
site and is compatible with existing and planned future uses in the area. The TMISAP
provides that Mixed Employment areas should provide a variety of flexible sites for small
Page 37
item#4. Page 7
businesses as well as large national or regional enterprises. (3-11). The proposed
industrial development provides flex and light industrial uses in a variety of building
sizes, each of which is demiseable into smaller spaces to serve a variety of business sizes.
TMISAP also seeks to `provide for industrial opportunities in consideration of future
improvements to Highway 16" (3-3). The site provides an ideal location for local and
regional light industrial businesses to access Highway 16,providing jobs close to home
for Meridian residents.
The City Council finds that the proposed initial zoning ofR-15 for the approximately 1-
acre residential property on the east side of Black Cat Road is consistent with the
existing Medium High Density Residential designation for this site and is compatible with
existing and planned future uses in the area.
2. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed
district, specifically the purpose statement;
The City Council finds the proposed I-L zoning district and proposed use is consistent
with the regulations and purpose statements of the I-L district, which is to provide for
convenient employment centers of light manufacturing, research and development,
warehousing and distributing.
The City Council finds the proposed R-15 zoning district is consistent with the
regulations and purpose statement of the R-15 district.
3. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health,
safety, and welfare;
The City Council finds the proposed zoning map amendment will not be detrimental to
the public health, safety and welfare. The development will build new roads and
pathways consistent with TMISAP design standards to provide safe vehicular and non-
vehicular connections for employees and area residents.
4. The map amendment shall not result in an adverse impact upon the delivery of
services by any political subdivision providing public services within the city
including, but not limited to, school districts; and
The City Council finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not result in any adverse
impact upon the delivery of services by any political subdivision providing services to
this site. The proposed industrial development will not impact school capacities.
5. The annexation (as applicable)is in the best interest of city.
The City Council finds that the annexation is in the best interest of the City. The proposed
industrial use will provide needed industrial business space to support and complement
the commercial and residential uses planned within the TMISAP area.

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Annexation of 129.21 acres of land with the I-L zoning districts to allow industrial development. This
application also includes a proposal to annex a 0.98-acre property with the R-15 zone district to
provide the required annexation path.
NOTE:Staff has met with the applicant numerous times to discuss this project.Staff has expressed
many concerns including the lack of compliance with the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan
(TMISAP) in both use and design,potential traffic impacts,probability of low job generation, and
whether the timing is right for a development of this magnitude in this location when other
properties on the east side of N. Black Cat Road have not fully built out as approved.

IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
This is a proposal for annexation of 129.21 acres of land with the I-L zoning districts to allow an
industrial development including 9 buildings ranging in size from 131,000 to 342,160 sq. ft.
(Buildings A-J) and 7 smaller commercial buildings ranging in size between 6,800 to 33,600 sq.
ft. (Buildings K1-MI). This application also proposes to annex an 0.98-acre property with the R-
15 zoning district for the sole purpose of making this property contiguous with City limits in
order to request annexation.
A. Annexation and Zoning
The applicant proposes to annex the 0.98-acre parcel with the R-15 zoning district in order to
achieve the contiguity to be eligible to annex the 129.21 acres of property on the west side of S.
Black Cat Rd. The applicant proposes to rezone the remaining 129.21 acres west of S. Black Cat
Rd.to I-L(Light-Industrial).As is discussed below, staff does not support rezoning to I-L and
finds M-E would be the appropriate zoning as indicated in the TMISAP. Staff does find the Plan
supports rezoning the 0.98-acre parcel to R-15, although the applicant has not offered any
additional details regarding future use of this property other than the existing residence will
remain.
B. Future Land Use Map Designation(https://www.meridiancity.or /�comQplan)
The subject properties are within the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan (TMISAP). The
Plan designates 745 S. Black Cat Road and the eastern half of Parcel#S 1216131860 for Low
Density Employment(Buildings K1-M1). The Plan designates the western half of Parcel
#51216131860, 935 S. Black Cat Rd and all of Parcel#51216417365 for Mixed Employment
(Buildings A-J). The property at 350 S. Black Cat Rd(east side of N. Black Cat Rd) is designated
for High Density Residential(density range of 8 to 15 dwellings/acre).
i. Low Density Employment
This use is defined by the TMISAP as low-rise office and specialized employment areas.
Low Density Employment areas should provide a variety of flexible sites for professional
offices and similar businesses. Low Density Employment areas should be designed with
elements of Traditional Neighborhood Design. Design and development standards such
as landscaping,pedestrian circulation and connection to open spaces, are recommended
to help make developments more attractive, engaging and accessible places. Appropriate
land uses include corporate and business offices as well as research facilities and
laboratories.
ii. Mixed Employ
This use is described by the TMISAP as an area to encourage a diversity of compatible
land uses that may include a mixture of office,research and specialized employment

areas,light industrial including manufacturing and assembly,and other miscellaneous
uses.Mixed Employment areas should provide a variety of flexible sites for small,local
or start-up businesses, as well as sites for large national or regional enterprises.Mixed
density employment will accommodate a wide variety of employers and serve as a
primary gateway to Meridian and Meridian's prosperity.

• Empl � A
Applicant's proposal:
The applicant requests to annex and zone the 129.21 acres of property west of S. Black Cat Rd to
I-L. The applicant requests to annex and zone the 0.98-acre parcel at 350 S. Black Cat Rd to R-
15. The applicant's narrative states their proposal meets the TMISAP intent of low-density
employment and mixed employment areas as it would provide a variety of flexible sites and allow
the larger double and single loaded light-industrial buildings to be divided into spaces as small as
18,000 square feet. The narrative states the Black Cat Business center would provide in-demand
manufacturing,heavier office build-out, flex industrial and accessory retail,warehousing and
distributing facilities in this region. It mentions the Mixed Employment designation in the
TMISAP does list light industrial as one of the appropriate uses. Finally,the narrative notes the
City of Meridian has less than a 1 percent vacancy rate for industrial business uses,and the
Treasure Valley as a whole lags behind its peer markets.
The concept plan submitted by the applicant indicates 7 buildings ranging in size between 6,800
to 33,600 sq. ft directly adjacent to the west side of S.Black Cat Rd(Buildings K1-M1). The
applicant's narrative states that in this area the project includes flex incubator buildings which
could be divided into spaces as small as 2,500 square feet. The applicant also proposes to set-
aside an approximately 18,000 sq. ft. lot for a potential 10,000 sq. ft. fire/emergency services
station.
On the remainder of the subject properties to the west,the concept plan reflects 9 very large
buildings ranging in size from between 131,820 sq. ft.to 293,280 sq. ft. to a total of 1,897,480 sq.
ft. (Buildings A-J). These buildings are oriented with one row north of a new collector and one
row south of the new collector. The concept plan shows multiple loading bays on all buildings
and a wide collector street to accommodate large truck traffic.

Page 46
Item#4.
Staff Response:
Staff does not support annexation and zoning to I-L as I-L would allow uses not supported by the
Plan in this area. Staff s response to the applicant has been that the TMISAP vision for the area
adjacent to I-84 is an employment district that will support the creation of more than 20,000 jobs
offered by a wide variety of employers. It should serve as a primary gateway to Meridian and
Meridian's prosperity, and provide local employment to the large amount of new residential
across S. Black Cat Rd to the east and W. Franklin Rd to the north and east. Staff notes the
TMISAP states"the City knows that this is one of the last remaining large, contiguous areas of
highly visible,easily accessible, and developable land within the City of Meridian's Area of
Impact."
The applicant's narrative mentions light industrial is listed as one of the appropriate uses in the
Mixed Employment Plan Area. This is correct,but the TMISAP refers to light industrial as
manufacturing and assembly,which is consistent with the definition of light industrial per UDC
11-1A-1. Although the I-L Zoning District could allow numerous primary jobs,it also
allows uses by right that would not be consistent with the goal for Mixed Employment per
the TMISAP.This includes warehousing, distribution and self-storage,which typically does
not produce a large number of primary jobs. Other uses allowed by right which staff believes
are not consistent with the Plan include contractor's yards, equipment rental and sales,vehicle
repair, and car dealerships. The plan designates these types of industrial uses to occur adjacent to
W. McDermott Rd, further west of the subject property, away from the residential that is intended
to develop across S. Black Cat Rd to the east.
Based on the concept plan that has been provided by the applicant,the majority of the plan
suggests a warehouse and distribution/storage development. This is in contrast to the TMISAP
vision for sense of place,traditional neighborhood design, streets designed to serve all users, and
multi-story construction(although the smaller Buildings K1-M1 directly adjacent to S. Black Cat
Rd,would be closer to the TMISAP vision).
Staff has recommended the applicant apply to rezone to Mixed Employment(M-E),which allows
the mixture of office,research, specialized employment areas and the type of light industrial
(manufacturing and assembly)which is intended for this area by the Plan. The applicant has
elected to proceed with I-L zoning.
Staff agrees there may be a strong market demand for industrial uses,but the Plan specifically
says the intent of the TMISAP is to create a place that will add to the long-term economic
stability of the City of Meridian,not just respond to immediate market forces and trends(page 3-
3).
C. Comprehensive Plan Policies(https:llwww.meridianciU.or /g compplan):
• Focus on developing industries that exceed the living wage, such as technology,healthcare
and other similar industries. (2.06.01E)
The TMISAP designates the subject property (except for 0.98-acre 350 S. Black Cat Rd)for
low density and mixed employment. These areas are intended to capture full economic
advantage of the Ten Mile interchange to enhance the long-term fiscal health of the City of
Meridian and the Treasure Valley.Although annexing and zoning this area to I-L could
create primary jobs as anticipated by the Plan, it could also allow uses such as distribution,
warehousing and self-storage that would not create a significant amount ofprimary-wage
jobs.
• Ensure that regulations and plans support and encourage desired development and land use
patterns within the Area of City Impact. (3.01.01 C)
Page 7
Page 47
Item#4.
The TMISAP specifically targets the subject property to accommodate a wide variety of
employers and serve as a primary gateway to Meridian and Meridian's prosperity. There are
additional design guidelines to create an environment that has a significant degree of
coherence and continuity. The annexation of the subject property for the industrial uses
described by the narrative and depicted on the concept plan do not meet the intent of the
Plan in both use and design.Also, the Community Planning Association of Southwest
Idaho (COMPASS) has submitted a development review letter. The summary of the letter
indicates that COMPASS finds the level of stress on the roads would be "R"
(unsatisfactory), it would lead to further decrease in the jobs/housing balance, and is not
within the%mile walkable distance preferred for transit and goods and services.
• Evaluate development proposals based on consistency with the vison as well as physical,
social,economic, environmental, and aesthetic criteria. (3.01.01D)
The TMISAP vision for this area is an employment-generating center that buffers the
community from I-84 and the future extension of Highway 16, and serves the employment
areas with easy access to markets, high-speed transportation facilities, and employees across
the Treasure Valley. The TMISAP contains additional design standards for this area to create
a sense of place and a unique identity. The proposed annexation and zoning to I-L to allow
an industrial development of large distribution-style warehouses bisected by a wide collector
road to facilitate freight traffic is not consistent with the Plan vision or the design for this
area.
• Promote Ten Mile,Downtown, and The Village as centers of activity and growth. (2.09.0313)
As already mentioned, the TMISAP designates this area for an employment center for the
local population in close proximity to nearby residences. Rezoning to I-L to allow a
distribution and warehousing development would provide growth, but not the type
anticipated by the Plan.
Establish distinct, engaging identities within commercial and mixed-use centers through
design standards. (2.09.03A)
The Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan focuses on developing an area that has an
identity of its own, but which links to the nearby development. The current application could
allow numerous uses not desired by the Plan, with monotonous architecture and design not
consistent with the design guidelines. This does not further the intent of the Plan to create a
unique sense ofplace.
• Slow the outward progression of the City's limits by discouraging fringe area development;
encourage development of vacant or underutilized parcels currently within City limits.
(4.05.03B)
This applicant proposes to annex 129 acres of undeveloped property which is surrounded by
unincorporated land on all sides except at the northeast corner, in which the 0.98-acre parcel
is being annexed in order to achieve the required contiguity. Further, much of the property to
the east is not annexed or annexed with development agreements, but not built-out to their
full capacity,further exacerbating the strain on the transportation network in the area. Full
impacts on the transportation system will not be known with this development until the
applicant completes a traffic study for ACHD to review and approve. There are no
anticipated improvements to S. Black Cat Rd and W. Franklin Rd in the short term, and
the closest water and sewer connection is approximately 340 feet to the north of the
property. This would be considered unorderly and fringe development.
Page 8
Page 48
Item#4.
D. Existing Structures/Site Improvements:
The majority of the property is vacant, except there is single family and agricultural development
located at 935 and 745 S. Black Cat Rd. If these properties were rezoned to I-L,the residential
and agricultural buildings should be removed.
E. Proposed Use Analysis:
The applicant proposes to zone to I-L. As mentioned above, staff believes the I-L district allows
uses by-right which are not consistent with the high employment-generating uses intended for this
area by the Plan, and the concept plan suggests a distribution and warehousing(or self-storage)
development. Staff finds Mixed Employment(M-E)is the zone district which is more
consistent with the TMISAP for this area.
Staff believes the proposal to annex and zone 350 S. Black Cat Rd to R-15 would generally be
consistent with the Medium High-Density Residential designation of the TMISAP. The applicant
has not submitted any additional information for this property other than annexation of this
property is necessary for the remaining 129.21 acres to be eligible for annexation. If the subject
annexation is approved,the existing residence would need to connect to City services.
F. Specific Use Standards(UDC 11-4-3):
UDC 11-4-3-25 (Industry, light and heavy)requires all shipping and delivery and outdoor activity
areas to be at least 300 ft. from any abutting residential district.Applications should identify how
proposed use will address impacts of noise and other emissions on residential districts.
The concept plan shows the outdoor loading and activity areas are at least 300 ft. from the
adjacent residential district to the east. The applicant does not provide an explanation regarding
potential impacts and/or how they would be mitigated.
G. Dimensional Standards(UDC 11-2):
The I-L zoning district requires a 35' street setback,20' landscape buffer along collector streets,
25' wide buffer along arterial streets, and allows height up to 50'. The concept plan and
elevations submitted appear to meet these requirements.
The TMISAP introduces basic rules of good design. This includes buildings built to public rights-
of-way, easy pedestrian access,narrow streets to slow traffic,and the facades of larger
commercial buildings being broken down into short frontages with"big boxes"being wrapped in
smaller commercial,residential,and office uses.
With some revisions, staff believes Buildings K1-MI as shown on the concept plan could mostly
reflect these principles, although the buildings are oriented around a central parking lot rather
than a courtyard. Also,the TMISAP mentions building frontages,rather than surface parking lots
and landscaped areas,should"hold the corners"by framing sidewalks or public spaces whereas
the entrance of this development from S. Black Cat Rd consists of landscaping and parking lots
with building maintaining larger setbacks.
The larger buildings A-J are oriented to a wide collector street,have larger front setbacks,have
single building frontages between 180 ft. and 470 ft. in length, and are not broken down or
wrapped with smaller buildings. Staff does not believe this encapsulates the TMISAP principals
for design envisioned for this area and is skeptical the concept plan could be designed to meet
these principles for the use as proposed. The City Council should decide whether this type of
industrial use is appropriate in this area.
Page 9
Page 49
Item#4.
H. Access(UDC 11-3A-3, 11-3H-4):
W.Franklin Rd west of the subject property is presently 2 lanes with no curb, gutter or sidewalk,
and narrows to one lane west of S. Black Cat Rd. S. Black Cat Rd. is presently 2 lanes with no
curb, gutter or sidewalk. The ACHD Capital Improvements Integrated Five Year Work Plan
(IFYWP) shows the intersection of Franklin Road and McDermott Road to be constructed as a
multi-lane roundabout sometime after 2026. Black Cat Rd is listed to be widened to 5 lanes
between W. Overland Rd.to W. Franklin Road in 2036 to 2040. W. Franklin Rd. is planned to be
widened to 5 lanes between W. McDermott Rd and S. Black Cat Rd from 2026 to 2030. W.
Franklin Rd is eventually intended to connect to SH 16 by a signalized intersection.
The TMISAP Transportation System Map shows a new collector street bisecting the property east
to west and a new north-south collector street at the western property line(page 3-18). The
TMISAP notes the primary purpose of the collector is to serve short length neighborhood trips
and to channel traffic from local streets and abutting properties to minor and principal arterials
(page 3-19).

The TMISAP Street Section Map designates new collectors in this area to be Street Section C
(page 3-20). Section C represents the major collector streets to provide access from adjacent
arterial streets into the employment areas. Street Section C(below)includes 11 ft.wide travel
lanes, 6 ft. wide bike lanes, 8 ft. wide carriage strips, 6 ft.wide sidewalks and approximately 10
ft. setback from the back of detached sidewalks to the building wall (to a total width of 68'). This
is consistent with the"complete street"concept discussed by the TMISAP to provide a street that
works for motorists,bus riders,bicyclists, and pedestrians, including people with disabilities and
to provide traffic calming.

The concept plan provided by the applicant reflects the east-west collector bisecting the site to be
60' wide with all of this being travel lanes, and detached pathways and landscaping outside of the
60' of travel lanes. Rather than on-street parking,there are several rows of parking between
building fronts and the road. Page 7 of the narrative states that the"new collector road bisecting

Item#4.
the development site will"provide easy freight access to the project"which is indicative of a
typical industrial development. This is not consistent with the mixed employment area and with
the street design principals on Page 3-20 of the TMISAP which state that"streets should be
designed and sized to optimize pedestrian comfort and to facilitate slow-moving vehicular
traffic."

- - Concept Plan street layout -
In addition to the collectors shown on the TMISAP Transportation System Map,the TMISAP
Land Use Map(Page 3-16) shows a desired local street bisecting the site north to south. Also,
ACHD has commented a third collector street is required along the Rosenlof Drain, at the
northern perimeter of the property(the local street would connect the two east-west collectors).
Although staff has mentioned to the applicant to provide this north-south local street,this
connectivity is not provided on the concept plan. The northernmost collector as required by
ACHD is also not shown.
A traffic impact study is not a required item for an annexation application. However, staff notes
this application proposes almost 2 million sq. ft. of new commercial or industrial square footage.
Although the immediate area is mostly undeveloped,there is a significant amount of development
in the vicinity which can be or has already been built,has been approved, or is in the development
application stage. This includes 330 single family lots and 240 apartments in the Braya
Subdivision across S. Black Cat Rd. to the east, and the large amount of commercial and
residential development occurring at the 10 at Meridian,Vanguard Village, Ten Mile Crossing
and TM Creek Crossing developments on both sides of N. Ten Mile Rd. south of W. Franklin Rd.
Staff has mentioned to the applicant that the traffic impacts of nearby development already
entitled have yet to be realized,there are no anticipated road improvements to W.Franklin Rd
and S. Ten Mile Rd. in this area in the short term, and has expressed concerns regarding how the
impacts of 2 million square footage of new industrial would affect the road network. The
applicant has not provided any additional analysis.
1. Parking(UDC 11-3C):
UDC 11-3C-6 requires one space for every two thousand sq. ft. of gross floor area in industrial
districts.With Buildings A-J listed on the concept plan as comprising 1,900,000 sq. ft. +/-,this
amounts to 950 parking spaces,whereas based on the numbers given on the concept plan,the
number of parking spaces provided well exceeds this requirement. Future planning land use
applications will determine the required number of parking spaces for all uses.
The TMISAP encourages on-street parking throughout the Ten Mile Interchange Area where
appropriate.Not only does on-street parking significantly add to the supply of needed parking
Page 11
Page 51
Item#4.
spaces, it provides an additional layer of physical and psychological separation between cars
moving along the street and pedestrians, shoppers, diners and others on the sidewalks. Parking
lots should not dominate the frontage of pedestrian-oriented streets or interrupt key pedestrian
routes. Ideally,parking lots should be located behind or underneath buildings or within the
interior of blocks. Less ideally, lots can be located beside the structures they serve. All parking
lots visible from public thoroughfares should be screened by plantings or walls or a combination
of the two. (page 3-26).
As mentioned in the access section above,the concept plan reflects a wide collector street
designed for truck traffic with no on-street parking. The majority of parking is provided to the
side of Buildings A-J,but there are two rows of parking between Buildings G,H and the collector
street. There is also a parking lot directly adjacent to S. Black Cat Rd south of Building M1, and
Buildings L2 and L3 are oriented around a central parking lot which is adjacent to S. Black Cat
Rd and parking. This is not consistent with the Traditional Neighborhood Design principles of the
TMISAP which would support buildings oriented around a plaza, open space or courtyard and
buildings rather than landscaping or parking"holding the corners."
J. Pathways ( UDC 11-3A-8):
The Pathways Master Plan(PMP)reflects a 10 ft. wide multiuse pathway aligned east-west at the
southern perimeter of the site, adjacent to I-84. The concept plan indicates a 10' wide pathway
along the southern perimeter of the site in the general location of the alignment shown on the
PMP. It does appear the required 5 ft. wide landscape strip is provided along both sides of the
pathway except near the southwest portion of the site.
K. Sidewalks(UDC 11-3A-17):
The concept plan indicates detached sidewalks of an unspecified width paralleling the new
collector street on both sides,along S. Black Cat Rd.,along the western property line,and along
landscaped islands running north-south between Buildings K1-M1 and Buildings A-J.
Landscaping and/or parkways of an unspecified width are provided on both sides of the
detached sidewalks. The sidewalks do provide connectivity throughout the development and to
adjacent properties to the north and south. As mentioned in the access section above,the
sidewalks are not consistent with Street Section C as it is reflected in the TMISAP. Instead of
being components of a walkable street section,they run along a series of parking lots and drive
aisles,consistent with what would be expected in a large industrial development.
L. Parkways (UDC 11-3A-17):
UDC 11-3A-17 requires parkways of a minimum width of 8 feet. It does appear parkways are
incorporated into both sides of all detached sidewalks, although the width of these parkways is
not provided.
M. Landscaping(UDC 11-3B):
A 50 ft.buffer is required along 1-84, a 20-foot wide landscape buffer is required adjacent to
collector streets,and a 25-foot wide buffer required adjacent to arterial streets(S. Black Cat Rd).
UDC 11-313-8 has landscape requirements for parking lots including 5 ft.perimeter streets and
islands of at least 50 sq. ft.per every 12 parking spaces. The concept plan as submitted does
appear to show the minimum landscape requirements are met,although as mentioned in the
access section,the proposed collector streets do not appear to meet the Street Section C
requirements as mentioned in the access section above. Landscaping requirements would be
analyzed with future development.
Page 12
Page 52
Item#4.
N. Qualified Open Space (UDC 11-3G):
As the development is proposed to be an industrial development,it is not subject to the qualified
open space requirements of UDC 11-3G. However,the concept plan does indicate small parks on
either side of the collector at the entrance of the development near where it connects to S. Black
Cat Rd. Staff does believe this is a nice amenity, although the TMISAP notes that care must be
taken to ensure that the programming and use of the space is not disrupted by vehicular traffic
(page 3-43).
O. Utilities
Connection to City water and sewer services is required in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. Water
and sewer are available in S. Black Cat approximately 340 feet north of the property. The
applicant will be required to extend the sewer main and provide a connection for the properties
across S. Black Cat to the east and south. The applicant will be required to extend the water main,
stub the water line at the west property line and loop the line to the north to W. Franklin Rd.
Street lighting is required to be installed in accord with the City's adopted standards,
specifications and ordinances and the TMISAP. See Section VIII.B below for Public Works
comments/conditions.
P. Architecture(UDC 11-3A-19 I Architectural Standards Manual):
The Architectural Standards Manual(ASM)has specific requirements for industrial
developments. Building design should address scale,mass, form, and use a variety of materials
and architectural features to ensure an aesthetic contribution compatible with surrounding
buildings. There should be modulation in surface plane at no less than 50 ft. intervals.
Developments should consider the scale of surrounding buildings. There should be at least 2
pedestrian-scale architectural features,physical distinctions to anchor the building. There should
be at least two different field materials,with at least one accent material.
The Design Section of the TMISAP is intended to serve as the basic framework on any given
project within the Ten Mile Interchange Area and the basis for development of future design
guidelines. Guidelines include the primary facades always including entries into buildings,being
faced toward the streets,and entries being located so as to provide direct access from adjacent
public spaces,primary streets and activity areas. In the low-density employment and mixed
employment areas, low rise buildings of 2-4 stories with shallow setbacks are recommended over
much of the area(page 3-38). At least 40%of the linear dimension of the street level frontages
shall be in windows or doorways, and buildings should have three separate components—base,
body and top. Page 1-3 of the TMISAP contains photographs and design graphics to illustrate the
architectural character desired in the Low Density and Mixed Employment Areas.

The concept elevations provided by the applicant reflect large one-story industrial buildings(with
higher ceilings and upper windows to appear as two-story)comprised of tilt-up concrete, CMU,
moderate to large setbacks from the street, and frontages with less than the 20%required
windows along the streets. Primary entrances are oriented inward toward the parking lots rather
than toward the street. The applicant's narrative states that due to security and visibility concerns,
the light industrial use of the buildings does not support windows across the entire frontage. As
an alternative,they propose enhanced glazing at corner entry elements as shown in the
renderings.
Page 14
Page 54
Item#4.
Staff notes design can be addressed during the time of the Certificate of Zoning Compliance
(CZC). However, due to the proposed use it is unlikely the applicant's proposal as submitted
could meet all the design requirements of TMISAP for Low Density and Mixed Employment in
this area(such as variation in building height, orientation of primary frontages and massing and
ground floor transparency). This proposal is for a large industrial complex with a concept plan
suggesting warehousing, storage and/or distribution which would be challenging to design as the
TMISAP discusses. The Planning Commission and City Council should discuss whether the
I-L zone district,and the uses that would be allowed,is appropriate in this location.
V. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends DENIAL of the requested annexation and zoning to I-L and R-15 based on the
Findings in section IX.
B. The Meridian Planning&Zoning Commission heard this item on November 18,2021. At the

VIII. FINDINGS
Required Findings: Upon recommendation from the commission,the council shall make a full
investigation and shall, at the public hearing,review the application. In order to grant an annexation
and/or rezone,the council shall make the following findings:
A. ANNEXATION AND REZONE
1. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan;
Commission finds the proposed development is not consistent with the TMISAP designations of
Low Density and Mixed Employment which are intended to provide a variety of flexible sites for
professional offices, small, local or start-up businesses, as well as sites for large national or
regional enterprises.Although the I-L zoning district does allow some of these uses, it also allows
uses which provide a low number of primary employment and could also allow uses contrary to the
Plan in this area including warehousing, distribution and outdoor storage.
2. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district,
specifically the purpose statement;
Commission finds the proposed map amendment to I-L and the proposed industrial use generally
complies with the purpose statement of the industrial area, but the type of industrial uses
proposed for this area are not supported in this area by the TMISAP.
3. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health,safety,and
welfare;
This application proposes to annex 129.21 acres of property designated as an employment center
with the I-L zoning district to allow a "modern industrial business"center with a concept plan
that resembles a warehousing and distribution uses. The potential for loss of significant
employment generating uses, use and design contrary to the TMISAP, and the potential
significant traffic impacts on the existing road network which have yet to be analyzed, could be
materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare.
4. The map amendment shall not result in an adverse impact upon the delivery of services by
any political subdivision providing public services within the city including,but not limited
to, school districts; and
Commission finds that the proposed zoning amendment will not result in any adverse impact
upon the delivery of services by any political subdivision providing services to this site.
5. The annexation(as applicable)is in the best interest of city.
The application proposes to annex and zone an area to I-L whereas M-E zoning would be more
consistent with the Plan. The applicant also proposes to annex a 0.98-acre lot with the R-1 S
zoning district to achieve the contiguity to be eligible for annexation. There is the potential for
significant loss of high employment generating activity, monotonous architecture, and building
mass and street design which is not consistent with the TMISAP. In addition, the traffic impacts
of nearly 2 million square feet of new commercial on the local network have not been analyzed.
The TMISAP states: "The City knows that this is one of the last remaining large, contiguous
areas of highly visible, easily accessible, and developable land within the City ofMeridian's Area
of Impact"and Commission does not support development of this area that is contrary to the
vision of the Plan. Commission finds this annexation is not in the best interest of the City.
