area is resolved.
The meeting on October 23, 1978 in reference to the Comprehensive Plan Impact Area
was discussed.
Gross stated that his understanding was that the Meridian priority was the drafting
of Ordinances far the Comprehensive Plan. It is a major project but now allocation
is significant for the project of developing ordinances to fit Meridian needs.
APA will request staff to meet with Planning and Zoning and approach the development
by asking where the ordinances are lacking. The approach used will incorporate
some of the Model Ordinances from the Land Use Planning Act and standardization
techniques. The text of the Ordinances should go quickly but mapping will take
more time because of reclassifications of zones. APA services will primarily be
that of Ordinance development if there are not many brush fires. ~
