Impact Boundaries
BASED ON:
1. Geographic- Rims, 1latersheds, Drainages.
2. Health, welfare and Safety within this area.
3. Schools, Postal Service, Utilities.
4. Transportation Systems.
ALL HAVING A DIRECT IMPACT ON MERIDIAN.
~~>~r 7- ~~17y
PURPOSE:
To define an Area of Impact surrounding the City Limits for
which Land Use and other policies are critical to the efficient and
successful implementation of both Meridian City and Ada County and
the State of Idaho. This identification of land which may be develop-
ed at a future time and for which specific development controls or
limitations are or may be required to prevent unacceptable impacts
on the City of D'Ieridian and to encompass Airport flight zones and
areas, Ydatersheds, Floocl plains, Drainages, etc., as required by the
1975 Local Planning Act, State of Idaho, and in conjunction with the
Ada County Comprehensive Plan, adopted June 22, 1977 with reference
at this time to Section 5.0. and Resolution Adoption Comprehensive P1an_
GOAL:
Promote an Area of Impact for the City of Meridian and assure
necessarey coordination of Land Use through zoning, and service
provisions and to allow and develop a specific procedural Comprehensive
Plan for assuring said coordination and Impact Area compliance to
accommodate and protect the growth goal of the City of Dleridian in
due course. Implementation of these boundaries, goals, and Area of
Impact are of prime importance and requirec~rior to their being
consolidated within a Aleridian Comprehensive Plan necessary for Pleric'ian
use for complete urban e~cpansion. Therefore, with the support of
the County to support the intention of Meridian to develop Meridian
growth areas, the Area of Impact for Meridian is submitted along with
adequate justification for the boundaries currently being asked for
by the City of Meridian.

City of Meridian
Impact Boundaries
Described as Follows: The north boundary line shall begin
at the Canyon-Ada County line at the bluff south of the boise River;
thence along said bluff easterly to Cloverdale Road; thence along
the west side of Cloverdale Road southerly to the intersection of
Cloverdale Road to Interstate 80; thence easterly to include all
c~ainage into Five Mile Creek to the intersection with Five Mile
meek and the New York Canal; thence southwesterly along the New
]brk Canal to Rawson Canai to the county line; thence northerly
along the county line to the place of beginning.
More adequately described as follows: The northern bound-
ary is a natural geographical and logical Boundary of Impact. By
having the meandering rim of the bluff south of the Boise River
vhich the City can effectively utilize and is of prime importance
to Meridian's northward grow ?`h ,
The northeast point of the meandering rim of the bluff
connecting at Cloverdale Road north of highway 20 and running
die south to the Interstate 80. This boundary is served by Dier-
idian School, by the Meridain Postal Service and is an important
area of grow,7°f~ to the City of Meridian.
The point where Cloverdale Road and Interstate 80 meet;
thence easterly to include all drainage into Five Mile Creek and
continuing to the point where to Five Mile Creek and the New York
C3na1 intersects. This drainage and its impact upon the City of
rbridian is of utmost importance. Y.he drainage affects
irrigation and sewage systems flow and follows to and through the
City of Meridian. Geographically with the Health and Safety of
the area residents within this drainageyjustify this area as well
a; watershed effects on Meridian area are of concern and respon-
sibility to its residents.
From the southeast point wherein the New York Canal and Five
Mile Creek join; thence moving southwesterly to the Rawson Canal
and thence westerly along Rawson Canal to the Canyon County line.
At this point where the Rawson Canal and Canyon County line meet;
thence north on the Ada County anc' Canyon County line to the point
of beginning.
The above described boundaries cover not only the drainage
geographically and naturally but the irrigation importance to the
Meridian Area of Impact agricultural grow~`N and Water Quality.
Riey promote the continuation of the Boise River Greenbelt through-
out Ada County to the north and protect our drainage and water
quality along the southeasterly and westerly boundaries which are
important to adequately plan °- Comprehensive Plan to promote dev-
elopement in an orderly, healthy and safe manner for present and
fiiture grow~fz They are within our service and utility areas, as
-_ ---
well as political areas.
It is recommended that the above area of impact be adopted
by the Dieridian Planning and Zoning, presented to the Meridian
City Council and be sent to Ada County for implementation and
consideration by the date required by the Idaho 1975 Local Planning
Act and changes and additions thereto.
