2023-12-12 Ken Freeze City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan
The City of Meridian adopted the plan during a council meeting in December 2019.
Plan Highlights
The goal of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan is to create an effective vision and source document that the
general public, developers, and decision-makers can reference and utilize to ensure Meridian is a
premier place to live, work, and raise a family.
One of the primary uses of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide direction for land use regulations,
including zoning, as well as strategic plans, municipal budget and capital projects, and other
implementation actions. Idaho Code § 67-6511 requires: "The zoning districts shall be in accordance
with the adopted plans"
This Plan applies to all geographic areas within Meridian's jurisdiction, including its surrounding Area of
City Impact. Plan goals, objectives, and action items are designed to address a 20-year planning horizon.
Future Land Use Map
Mapping future land uses is a key component of the Comprehensive Plan, so that development occurs in
the direction and manner most desired by the community.
The Future Land Use element emphasizes the importance of thoughtful and responsible land use planning,
cooperation,and collaboration among the various jurisdictions and agencies in the area,and preservation
and enhancements of the high quality of life that currently
exists in Meridian. The policies in this section are graphically Meridian Future Land Use Map
represented in the Future Land Use Map.

To Meridian City Planning Department
I understand that the planning department is allowing the plans for seven units on the lot at 200 Rosalyn Dr to proceed.
Allowing seven units on that lot is directly counter to Meridian’s own Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the city in 2019.
The following are some excerpts taken directly from the Plan.
