a. p.14 INDUSTRIAL REVIEW AREAS
"The Industrial Review Areas are an
essential element of the Meridian Comp-
prehensive Plan. Special uses of land must
be recognized as having special needs and
diverse impacts. Designating certain areas
for business uses, as a method of guiding
business expansion, is an appropriate
approach to Meridian's economic future
and provides for the essential difference
between the City's business land market and
the residential land market. The Compre-
hensive Plan intends to prepare for
Meridian's business and employment future
by reserving land for industrial, retail,
commercial and office uses and so removing
them from the categories of land on which
residential development can be proposed. In
all review areas, detailed economic
analysis is essential, so that the
specifics of industrial plans, designs and
development will be known,

Each Industrial Review Area is recognized
as possessing unique physical and
locational characteristics, both natural
and man-made, which make it a desireable
business environment. These characteristics
are relatively level topography,
potentially good access to rail and freeway
facilities, and being relatively free from
environmental hazards. A specific set of
policies has been prepared for the
development of each of the Review Areas and
is discussed in a later section of the plan
document."
b. p.15 ECONOMIC POLICIES
1: "The City of Meridian shall make every
effort to create a positive atmosphere
which encourages industrial and commerical
enterprises to locate in Meridian.
2: It is the policy of the City of Meridian to
set aside areas where commercial and
industrial interest and activities are to
dominate.
3: The character, site improvements and type
of new commercial or industrial develop-
ments should be harmonized with the natural
environment and respect the unique needs
and features of each area."
C. p.16 INDUSTRIAL POLICIES
1: "The development considerations for each
of the Industrial Review Areas should be
phased and prioritized to provide for
orderly growth and development, minimize
the cost of providing utilities and trans-
portation services and promote unified
development within the Urban Service
Planning Area.

in conjunction with the development for
each Industrial Review Area.
6: Industrial uses adjacent to residential
areas should not create noise, odor, air
pollution and visual pollution greater
than levels normally associated with
surrounding residential activities.
9: .Industrial development should be encouraged
to locate adjacent to existing industrial
uses.
10: Industrial areas should be located within
proximity to major utility, transportation
and service facilities.
14: Industrial areas should be located where
adequate water supply and water pressure
are available for fire protection.
15: Zoning and development within each of the
Industrial Review Areas should be analyzed
to ascertain if there are potential
problems or conflicts which would hinder
the development of these areas by private
industrial and business interests.
16: All industrial proposals that pertain to
the Industrial Review Areas shall be re-
viewed and monitored so that approved uses
are compatible with surrouding planned uses
and preserve the integrity of the Review
Areas.

2: It is the policy of the City of Meridian to
encourage and promote the development of an
overpass, if an interchange is not feasible
at the intersection of Locust Grove Road
and I-84 by the Idaho Department of Trans-
portation.
3: The character, site improvements and type
of industrial developments should be
harmonized with the residential area to
the south (on .the upper bench), the con-
tiguous residential area to the east and
north, and a proposed site of a regional
shopping center in the northeast quadrant
of the intersection of Interstate 84 and
Eagle Road.
4: The utilization of the linear open space
corridor of Five Mile Creek, which passes
through the Eastern Industrial Review Area,
should be maintained as a natural resource
for both aesthetic and environmental
reasons.
That the following provisions of the Zoning Ordinance
of the City of Meridian are noted:
11-2-408 B 12 (I-L) LIGHT INDUSTRIAL
The purpose of the (I-L) Light Industrial
District is to provide for light industrial
development and opportunities for employ-
ment of Meridian citizens and area res-
idents and reduce the need to commute to
neighboring cities; to encourage the
development of manufacturing and wholesale
establishments which are clean, quiet and
free of hazardous or objectionable
elements, such as noise, odor, dust, smoke
or glare and that are operated entirely or
almost entirely within enclosed structures;
to delineate areas best suited for
industrial development because of location,
topography, exisiting facilities and
relationship to other land uses. This
district must also be in such proximity to
insure connection to the Municipal Water
and Sewer systems of the City of Meridian.
Uses incompatible with light industry are
not permitted, and strip development is
prohibited.
