Issue #1 Discussion concerning Comprehensive Plan update,
procedure and process
Bird: Anyway, we'll open it up and we're going to discuss the comp plan, the new
Comprehensive Plan. Shari Stiles, do you want to take that over? Are you the
one that's going to do it?
Corrie: Mr. President, if I may. A point of order. Would you tell us what you're
(inaudible)?
Stiles: I didn't. The Powder River, did you talk to (inaudible)?
De Weerd: Well, I can give an update on Powder River if you want me to. We're
going to have on our agenda next week the memo that the City is going to send
regarding Powder River so that Council and the Mayor can all be on the same
page with it. Once we have our comments or add anything to it, the Mayor and
Shari can send that out within a day or finro of next week's meeting so that they

can get it into their information packet. That's kind of what Scott and I have talked
about as far as timetable.
Cowie: It has been tabled -
De Weerd: Until the 20"'.
Stiles: I just wanted to get an update on actually what happened.
Cowie: Okay.
Stiles: Whether we have any testimony at all.
De Weerd: He told me he wasn't going to allow testimony.
Stiles: We did fax Brad and Gary's letter to them right before the meeting.
Bird: That's the one we've got fight here.
Stites: We just wanted to make sure they had something in front of them so that
they wouldn't get up and say well the city hasn't even responded.
Bird: Any more updates or should we go on with our comp plan?
Stiles: The comp plan, today was my 30-day deadline to get it into the county.
It's going to be 1 or 2 days late. We're working on final staff report and the actual
modifications to the plan. We do have a new draft of the land use plan that, this is
the only copy I have right now or I'd give you one. We have a few tweaks left to
do to it. This is what Steve did if you want to look at it. Steve did a really good job
on that. He was very thorough in it. For the public Hearing we wanted to know
where you want to meet or where some possible locations are, schools don't
have any Idea how many people are going to be there. I think there's, more than
likely it would fill up this room. We could go to the convention center, try one of
the schools. Any ideas?
Bird: How about the middle school's auditorium?
That's so big. It would be huge.
De Weerd: The high school has a smaller one we did a crime prevention one in.
They have a stage. The sound effects, You get an echo in the room.

De Weerd: About a quarter of the size.
Stiles: Probably holds about 1300 or so.
Cowie: Oh, well then we should probably get the high school.

Stites: So, (inaudible) the high school. As we learned during the open houses,
most of the people that are going to be commenting are concerned about their
own little half-acre or whatever it is throughout the city. They're not real big
picture people. They just want their comer 2 acres to be commercial or whatever
it is. That's was the extent of their concerns. We'll be hearing from a lot of those
people about their own property. Or some of them might be upset about the
designation of property even within 1 to 2 miles of theirs because of the potential
for traffic problems or. We'll probably hear from Valerie Heights neighborhood
quite a bit more t'm sure because we have designated that, you know its already
zoned now as (inaudible). One thing that we had talked about is we want to deal
with the geographical areas as part of this testimony. We want to say here's Old
Town, all the people from Old Town that want to get up and testify. I'm just not
real sure how to try and keep it a little more focused so it's not just everywhere. If
we could maybe have the southwest quadrant or you know set up designated
areas of the city that people could sign up. Then if there's general sign up for you
know like the urban service planning area. There's going to be a lot of testimony
on that.
Cowie: You'd think we'd want some kind of continuity. People to sign up for
different sections of town. Some people don't care about some sections. They
should but they won't. (inaudible)
Stiles: Do you think we should have sign up sheets that say you know, if you
live in southwest Meridian. Maybe even have a map up there that if they're in this
area and they'd want to comment on something in that sign up on this sheet?
Cowie: That would be a good idea.
Bird: That would be a good idea, Shari. If you'd make a big map and zone it off
and call it zone 1, 2 and 3, however many zones.
Cowie: Otherwise, we're going to get hit from all sides and they're not going to
be able to keep them all together. They might.
Norton: (inaudible) for Planning and Zoning Public Hearing, not City Council?
Stiles: If it were sweetie, you'd hear (inaudible).
Norton: It looks like June the 2g~' is the first Public Hearing, is that right?
Stiles: Yes. If that works for
Norton: And Bill's not going to be here for that one but the rest of us wiA.
Stiles: Does that concern you?

Norton: No. It would be nice to have Bill in on that but you know the summer,
we're all taking vacation and it's hard to get everybody. What you said I think
makes a lot of since. If we could have (inaudible) We need somebody (inaudible)

Smith: Somebody that's rude and bold.
Anderson: Couldn't you ask someone from the city cleric's ofFce?
Norton: Oh, l could ask.
(inaudible discussion)
Norton: One minute sign and then.
Shreeve: Then, you make an example of the first 2, the rest will get the picture.
Stiles: (inaudible) embarrass (inaudible). There's going to be several attorneys
I'm sure that'll be testifying and probably saying they're representing -

Stiles: -half the planet so.
Cowie: If they're there and they're representing somebody give them 6 minutes.
Norton: Six minutes?
Nichols: And no more.
Bird: And no more.
(inaudible discussion)
Cowie: Then you're going to have more than one workshop, are you not? Just
have one for them and for us.
Bird: You just have one Public Hearing, don't you?
Stiles: Well, there's another -

Stiles: This was intended as just kind of an opening discussion on it. June 7~',

Stiles: At 6:00 P.M. prior to the regular meeting. Is that what you've decided on?
IS that what you want to do?
Shreeve: I didn't get to my box. Thank you.
Nichols: Shari, do you have in there? The comp plan has got some general
policies in ~, some definitions and those sorts of things. The thing where you're
talking about specific testimony, it only really relates to the (inaudible)
~ Stiles: No. It's policies, objectives, action items.
Nichols: Because I can see where somebody might have some. Maybe you do
have somebody that'll be big picture (inaudible). They don't have a specific
interest (inaudible).
Stiles: Well, that's why I said there would have to be a general overall because
some of them might just want to talk about the urban service planning area.
That's not related to any specific quadrant so we do have to have general
comments on the plan to the people that wanted to comment on that. Of course
some people might sign up for very sec~on.
(inaudible discussion)
McCandless: Whatever makes you think that?
Anderson: (inaudible) The developers are going to be looking at generalized so
there's going to be overall throughout the city.
Bird: Can't you have one of your sections just as overall? Bill can't you do
something like that and then zone it?
Nichols: Yeah. I guess that's what I was wondering about. in terms of how to
structure the hearing. Somebody that's got general comments that does not own
this specific piece of property or doesn't have comments with regards to a
specific piece of property maybe (inaudible).
Stiles: You mean, general comments first?
Nichols: You might try it. Think through it though because a lot of people have
both.

Nichols: So, they get up and start talking about general policies and then they'll
lapse into something that has to do with their particular piece of properly. There
need to be some pretty clear instructions at the beginning of the hearing about
how that will ga. Maybe even a sign up sheet for the general (inaudible). Please
agreement not to address a specific, treatment of a specific piece property unless
they're also signed up some place else.
De Weerd: On specific pieces, could you not (inaudible)? (inaudible) enter it
into the record. Then they're submitting the right comment. (inaudible)
(inaudible discussion)
Corrie: You're going to have to set the ground rules. (inaudible) Publicize it too
that they can do it in writing like she said. Then submit that and it would be read

Stiles: If they want a copy of the draft plan. We're not redoing the plan at all. I
mean as far as,1 will have, -- !need to get Sonya to rewrite my comments in
here. But, we'll have one copy incorporating all the changes only at the Planning
and ,Zoning pepartment because it has even little things. You know little typo
things, everything in there. A lot of the census data says it wasn't available when
this was done. I mean we're not going to really address specific census data.
We'll have this and that'll probably be the first of next week before we get the
redone version. Then we'll have a staff report and it's kind of an overview of
where we've come from and what we've been doing. (inaudible). It's about a 3-
page memo. Following that, will be a detachment which will be, 1 of the
attachments will be a summary of all the written comments we've received so
you can look at that We'll have the full set, the actual comments and letters. If
you want to look at those we can get everything to you or just ask for a specific
letter. We just tried to summarize kind of the gist of what their letter was about.
That will be one attachment. The other attachment will be fihe actual, a page by
page of major issues. We're not going to have the glossary done. We're not
going to have the list of acronyms done. We'll do that just before it goes to City
Council. Do you see a problem with that, not having that cx~mplete?
Nichols: Are the glossaries more important than the acronyms. I think you're
going to have to have the definitions even if you've just got a draft. Then add
some to it before you give it to Council. Take what you can do and have it.
Stiles: Ada County Association of Realtors was the one that wanted the
definition. It was a good idea. l was hoping they wouldn't - I got a listing before
now. Because I told them, you know, if there's things in there that -because to
me it's jusfi, oh, okay everyone knows what that is. I thought if he'd give me a list
to help me know just what the troublesome phrases were and we could do that. 1

can add to it.

Stiles: Yeah. I don't have -
De Weerd: Maybe you can call Mark and ask him by what date (inaudible).

Stiles: It won't have street names. It won't have parcel numbers. It's a general
plan. It's the intent of it so people don't go and pick out their piece of property

(inaudible discussion)
Stiles: So, we wi11 go by geographic areas. Another suggestion that Brad had
was to take testimony on each chapter. I'm not sure how useful that would be
because a lot of, like the first three chapters are just information. It's not really,
doesn't have the goats and objectives and the action items that the rest of it has.
We might, the neighborhood general concept, I don't know how controversial that
will be. The plan (inaudible) but in this new map and what we've added to this
draft plan based on the input we got from people because in the draft plan all of
this was shown as pretty much single family residential, everywhere. Just like
this. A lot of the comment that we got was that there needs to be some services
available for those people. We (inaudible). It was (inaudible). We like the overall
concept of having the neighborhood centers but they want to make sure that we
have some plan to implement them soon. You know, get an ordinance (inaudible)
to actually be able to implement those because otherwise we just may have
intersections. Every comer's going to try to be commercial. So, there may be
some commen# on that. This was in response to public testimony and the letters
that we received that they want to see some kind of services out to compliment
those residential areas.. There might be testimony on that. We all know that the
urban service planning area, I think everybody knows. The urban service area is
going to be the biggest issue for people. To give you a little a bit of history on
pulling that urban service planning area back. It was actually suggested by Ada
County stafF that, that would help them to be able to deny projects. What it's done
in the year since the draft came out is showing that the urban service planning
area has had a glut of applications submitted to the county. In what would be
outside of our urban service planning area, still in our area of impact because
they think they have to get in there now so they can get something approved.
They think that the way this is drawn is going to prevent them from ever
developing. Even though we've explained to them, it's not to prevent you from
developing. It's just trying to grow from the inside out and try to prioritize the
growth areas. That was the intent. IYs not that we never intend to serve that area.
That is probably 80 percent of what people are going to be upset about.
De Weerd: Are there any questions about that? Does everyone understand
what Shari is referring to?
Stiles: The original urban service planning area (inaudible) everything that was
in the area of impact was also in the urban service planning area. It went clear up
to Chinden and clear down to (inaudible) past Amity. You know it took in the
whole entire area of impact. What they've done on the draft, is bring the urban
service planning area back down to McMillan and just. You know, we're going to
be pret#y busy just working on that white drain and the south slough area.
De Weerd: Pretty much following the priorities that Council set a year ago.

Stiles: It does. It goes up so we can serve that area -
Bird: We already have -
(inaudible discussion)
Bird: we've already got it in there.
(inaudible discussion)
Stiles: It is hard because it overlaps there. Yeah, because Council said that they
would let that flow into that white drain once that was constructed. So, maybe we
could put that in there (inaudible). We did from the draft, 2000 plan, we didn't like
the way the map looked. For one it didn't look very professional and it looked like
everybody just came out and pointed to #heir piece and said I want that colored
red.
De Weerd: Which they did.
(inaudible discussion)
Stiles: We'd get comments like, we'd get a letter, oh we see that you've shown
our parcel as office, please reaone immediately. That was our whole thing.
(inaudible discussion)
Stiles: We're seeing such a huge amount of commercial out along Eagle. We
really didn't like that. Not just for the aesthetics of the plan but, just to think if that
much commercial and all tied up along Eagle Road we just cringed. We have
shown a lot of those commercial areas back into a mixed use areas in trying to
set some policy that we require more than one use. So you"re not stuck with -
Unidentified: Mixed use, like office and commercial?
~ (inaudible discussion)
Stiles: Both.

De Weerd: There's going to be 2 different types of mixed use. You can have kind
of a mixed use with single family and neighborhood typo of services and a mixed
use with multi family and maybe industrial and commercial use. So that we don't
just have a single use there. There can be a little bit of diversity (inaudible). Now

{inaudible). That kind of helped educate the people. You know, for one it's
(inaudible). That's the best way to introduce that. You know, maybe Shari on the
best way to present it would be by area that you think that you will get the most
comments in. ieighborhood centers, urban services area. and mixed use.
{inaudible discussion)
Stiles: So, we should get a presentation maybe, you think? (inaudible)
De Weerd: 1 know even with the mill levy thing, you know, 1 guess it's first to
get an educational overview and try and anticipate what questions or comments
might be and try and address them in that presentation. Maybe in our publicity
about the next Public Hearing, say the frst 45 minutes will be a overview
presentation on the comp plan. Focussing on these areas.
(Vary: That was actually the intent of the June 7~' and June 21~ i thought. When
we talked about it was that for that exact thing. That overview because we did
feel that, to try to have a hearing the same time you have that, it ends up putting
the hearing at 3:00 in the morning. That overview not only helped us to grasp
what all the different things staff thought was very important. It also did educate
the public on what was important and what staff wanted to talk about. I meant
they have, everybody has their ovm issues but that did at least give that type of
information out. That's really what (inaudible) is to give use that opportunity.
That's why we're going to start the meeting early is for us to have that overview
opportunity involved. At least if they want to be and giving them that information.
We're taking testimony (inaudible).
De Weerd: You may even want to separate land use out and put that. Have
June 7~', everything but land use. Then the land use map, have on the 21~.
Stiles: Why do you say everything but?
De Weerd: That would be -
(inaudible discussion)
De Weerd: (inaudible) about your neighborhood centers. That kind of urban
service areas. I know but it's not the specifrc (inaudible).
Anderson: I think you ought to even back up even further than that. You ought
to first explain fio people what a Comprehensive Plan is. How it's used by
Planning and Zoning Commission and the city. How the process is developed.
How the comp plan gets put together before you ever get into any of the
specifics. Give them a history. Give them another (inaudible} Just as if you
walked in there and didn't know what a comp plan was. I think you could spend

probably at least 30 minutes to an hour just on educational background about
how you got to that point.
Nary: 1 think that would be beneficial. I mean although (inaudible). I think it's a
(inaudible). if the message to them is (inaudible) they may or may not. I mean,
we're trying to provide them a service. (inaudible). I think that's very good
information that probably should start off our meeting (inaudible).
(inaudible discussion)
Nary: I think they do need- to know this really matters and it's important.
Realistically, I'm certainly not speaking for everybody ellse on the commission but
I think that's the one most people are going to show up at.
(inaudible discussion)
Nary: The other one's more informational and some will be there who're
interested and follow it all along. I think that's exactly what the public showed
lead off (inaudible). This is very important.
(inaudible discussion)
Norton: My only comment is that when we went through the sign and f think it
was the landscape, it was an hour and a half presentation. That was too long.
Then we had public testimony after that. So, carefully (inaudible) informational
session that we could keep the meeting to (inaudible). It has to be very carefully
scripted so you (inaudible). Again going back what is a comp plan and what it's
used for. Then the highlights of it. (inaudible) I can see this Public Hearing
(inaudible). I know there's no time on the (inaudible). W-e usually start at 7:00. If
we start at 7:00 have ydu know a half hour, 45 minutes education. Then start the
Public Hearing. That would be the way to do it.
Stiles: VNe can start it anytime you want.
(inaudible discussion)
Nary: We can set a timeline and say you know we're not going to take any more
testimony after 90:00. Just understand when you sign up if we get up to number
25 -
Norton: (inaudible} I know at legislative committee meetings you can have the
secretary sign you up to testify before you get there. That means then that you
make sure you're on the list.
Nichols: Then the chairman would say, those out of town get to speak first.

(inaudible discussion)
Nary: This is more than one meeting. I think you know there'll be plenty of
opportunity to comment. If people didn't get frustrated. I think that part of the
chair's responsibility is going to make sure that people understand that they
have. You know if we only get to 25 on the list tonight in the 3 or 4 hours or
whatever #hat we're doing, We are going to have another one (inaudible). We just
don't want the same people coming and saying the same thing both times. Then
somebody else doesn't get a chance (inaudible). That's what would be helpful
and you can use the list. Then people who sign up (inaudible). You can also have
a new one each meeting.
Bird: Just like all the other public testimony. Everything you hear, we'N hear
identical.
(inaudible discussion)
De Weerd: On June 21~, though it (inaudible) be advantageous to have an
orientation or discussion on the land use map. You know, before the Public
Hearing, informational to discuss what the mixed use is, the urban service area
even the pathways and the parks and the schools. A lot of the stuff that`s
integrated into that, that landowners might have (inaudible). Okay, well I did
notice mine's a mixed use, maybe if I knew what mixed use was 1'd feel a little bit
better about it and I won't go there to testify. Or, I felt very comfortable just writing
my comments and submitting them. You cyan even go through the (inaudible) and
explain what the written testimony can be used (inaudible).
be Weerd: t don't know. I think that anything that can help reduce your Public
Hearing and the amoun# of testimony is good for. (inaudible}.
Stiles: We'll be able to tell by the audience at those 2 meetings (inaudible).
Maybe there won't be a need to address (inaudible). When you get my memo
that accompanies the modifications, it is just kind of a summary of the process. tf
you want me to elaborate on some of that as part of your workshop let me know
and I can make sure that (inaudible) if you see something else that you want me
to talk about because I'll be at both of those meetings and probably have either
Brad or Steve with me.

Stiles: Oh, your not? Well maybe you need a private meeting at our office to go
over some things.
Norton: Maybe I do. Yeah. That would probably be good because I will be there
the (inaudible). I'm (inaudible)
Stiles: Yeah. Why don't you do that. We want everybody to be as informed as
they can be. I know a lot of you are fairly new. (inaudible) I mean just new to the
process anyway.
Nary: I think to echo what Sally said earlier, You know (inaudible). If the
presentation (inaudible) tries to incorporate the highlights of what we're talking
about. Maybe the 21st talk about (inaudible) the land use map. That (inaudible)
the opportunity for questions. That's 2 hours. I don't know if that's too long or too
short. That's about 2 hours to try to comfort those things. That might help it along
and at least give us some sense of presentation on how you want to structure it.
That way on the 21st, we can really hold back on questions and really just ask
them on the 21st and concentrate on this. I think this is good because I think that
we do want to hear that. It may help with some folks with a feeling like I don't
really need to come or 1 just need to come and watch. I don't have any come and
participate.l'm comfortable with where this is at or what that looks like.
(inaudible)
Stiles: These will be available. We're not going to charge anybody for these.
We'll just have a bunch of them made just like we did draft plans. They'll be
available for anybody to pick up. Also, the report that I'm doing for you will be
available. At first we'll (inaudible) to pass those out. We've got such a huge
mailing {ist now and it's getting to be kind of a big document of changes #hat
we're probably not going to mail all of those out to everybody. Let them know that
it's available if they want it.
Norton: So, they'll be ready before the (inaudible)?
Stiles: Yes. That report to you, you should have in your boxes by Thursday.
Norton: Okay.
Stiles: What else did I have?
Nichols: Is there any possibility this stuff would be pu# in the (inaudible)?
Stiles: There is. I don't know how that would translate into a website.

Cowie: Shorter would be good. A lot of people that came really are thinking
about what they're going to say and what they want to get across not what you're
telling them.

Stiles: The glossary and the definitions and stuff. It depends on their comfort
after they see the staff report. If they think we reaAy need to work these over and
these policies aren't quite working for us, or need some more action items to
really back up this neighborhood center concept.
Nichols: Part of Brad's comment (inaudible) as part of the state statute.
Stiles: Or the recommendations.
Nichols: IT talks about the recommendation for the commission (inaudible) and if
the governing body coordinates a material change in the recommenda#ion or
alternative options contained in the recommendation then there has to be a
Public Hearing. (inaudible) What comes to the Council swill most likely will be with
material change or something that could be argued was a material change which
would require a second hearing. That's (inaudible) 67, 65 on 9 subparagraph B.
Stiles: That's going to be kind of impossible to determine though.
Cortie: I don't think (inaudible) get 100 percent. That would be great if ypu did.
(inaudible)
Stiles: When it goes to the City Council, they're holding a Public Hearing.
Bird: Yes.
Stiles: Doesn't that count as -
Nichols: No. It says further notice of hearing shall be provided (inaudible).

change, that presupposes that they've had a hearing and they've decided to
make a change. Then they can't adopt that change without further notice. You
have your hearing, then the Council say, yes the commission recommended x
but we're going to do y. Then they need to have another hearing and I would
think you're probably limited to adopting y instead of x. Just a narrow focus area

Stiles: So, the Planning and Zoning Commission is really going to have to come
up with a pretty definitive recommendation or give them a list of options to
choose from?
(inaudible discussion)
Berg: It kind of depends (inaudible).
De Weerd: (inaudible) he thinks it is.
(inaudible discussion)
Nichols: The easy thing is if you just schedule another Public Hearing, you've
precluded an itam for attack. (inaudible) will cure it by having a hearing.
Stiles: So, you're not (inaudible) right? Will you be able to get some feed back
to us? (inaudible)
(inaudible discussion)
Nary: (inaudible) probably going to have more.
Stiles: I would be really surprised if we got through with the Public Hearing on
the 28"'.

be done. (inaudible)

times. Should it be the 28~', 29~', 30~'? We might be thinking about some other
good dates.

Stiles: Then we can continue it without giving notice though. (inaudible). That's
about all we had.

Shreeve: I have a question. This is probably totally an ignorance question. Just
kind of being new and the whole thing. ACRD, of course I understand their
authority, the roads and everything like that. What authority or influence do
(inaudible) recommendations
Bird: Don't get me started.
(inaudible discussion)
Shreeve: Just in my short time - I'm a civil engineer as well. I've got a project
being done in the county and I just came from dealing with ACHD totally
frustrated.
Norton: Hopefully it wasn't in our area of impact.
Shreeve: No. k was in Boise.
(inaudible discussion)
Bird: We really don't have much power at all.
Coate: No. We just make recommendations and they just either accept it
(inaudible).
Shreeve: In my personal opinion, there've been a couple of developers came
along. t can't be a traffic engineer by any stretch of the imagination but I haven't
agreed with some of the things. Quite frankly 1 think GCHQ is taking the easy way
out and really hasn't evaluated the situation tb my satisfaction anyway. Of course
I denied the project based on that. I mean there were a couple of other things but
that was one of them. I was pretty concerned about a particular intersection. I just
(inaudible) ACRD really looked at it. I don't know if that's grounds forme to vote
against it. If that's just out of my control or our control.
Bird: ACRD, like the Mayor said, we can recommend something. I don't know
they just don't seem to look at the impact fees we've paid and see what projects
we've got in the city of Meridian. This is my personal saying, the tail don't wag
the dog. The dog wags the tail. They're the dog in Ada County. ACRD in
Meridian or Kuna or Eagle.

Shreeve: I could give a specific but yeah. They basically, and "tt was just. I guess
that point that I took was I just wasn't convinced that it was the best option
(inaudible). I guess not to be specific but I guess I'm just speaking generally.
Generally speaking, 1 guess it's just up to ACRD. They're human. They're
engineers. You know nobody's perfect and sometimes I think that they could
(inaudible discussion)
Shreeve: -that's right. Don't ge# personal. Brad will sick you right?
De Weerd: That's who I was looking at.
Shreeve: Sometimes I don't think potentially in the future and it sounds like it's
happened in the past that they just really haven't taken our issue to concern like
they should. I just (inaudible) any weight (inaudible). Apparently not.
Cowie: In all areas, even Boise gets frustrated with ACRD. I know we
(inaudible)
De Weerd: Mr. President.
Bird: Yes.
De Weerd: You know I think there are certain things that ACRD cannot ask for. If
they're not asking for things that the city feels strongly should be asked that
there's nothing wrong with the city asking it. Of course then it has to go back to
them and they have to approve i#. If they don't you have to leave clear
instructions on if that doesn't happen that is a condition. Therefor it would be
denied at that phase. I think that if you feel strongly about something and the rest
of the commission does, that recommendation should come forvvard to Council
as such. I like you guys have gotten a lot more specific in your conditions and
attached to that you know that this is something that specifically the city Council
should visit and really highlight that. I don't think there's anything wrong with
finding it out and putting it in your recommendations and leaving it up to Council
for that final recommendation that based on your position, if it's not agreed upon
by ACHD this project will be denied. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Anderson: I have a question for Bill. You know with that last meeting with ACRD
or anything tike that. As we're approving projects and the project is on a major
arterial or a collector road and we know that that road is going to be widened
someday to 4 lanes, 5 lanes or whatever. If we require them to give us an
easement, why can't we, or could we start requiring the right-of-way too. I guess
I'm a little bit unclear on the State Statute and the taking of law. When you
consider that a taking. It just seems silly to me to turn around and grant this
project, make him do the easement. Then we've got to turn around in a few years

Pie 20
`` That's part of what holds up some of the roads that we
and buy fight-of-way
.
want to build and widen is because we don't have the money to buy the right-of-
way back or it takes longer to save up the money to buy that right-of-way. It
would seem easier to go ahead and ask for the right of-way to be donated at the
f;`~ time when we're approving these projects.
~;E t
r ~, ~~: Nichols: The difference has to do with what is the road. If it's an arterial,
(inaudible) should serve more than just that particular project. If it's a collector, if
_ `~ :; the need for the collector is generated by the project then requiring the right-of-
`~ ~: way donation in connection with that project is not really a taking because it's
directly related. It's (inaudible). If it's an arterial on the other hand, maybe it's an
80-acre easement (inaudible) subdivision but it's on Ustick Road so we want to
:J
} ~~' have enough right-of-way. We want to have that 96-fit wide right 4f-way in that
section. It's not that this project by itself requires an arterial It's this project and
µ ~ .~,~ several others that would make the need for an arterial. That's why in most
- cases, ACRD is buying that extra right-of-way along there because it's an arterial
~-~ nofi a collector (inaudible). That's when you get into (inaudible). We have taken
the position that, on annexation and zoning, we can have a whole bunch of
conditions that go beyond just the rough proportionality. The carrot that we've
~~ had is City water and sewer. You have to be annexed if you want it. In order to
~= be annexed you have to keep us happy. If you want to keep us happy, you have
to meet our conditions. i think when you get to the right of--way for an arterial then
'~ ~~' ~ you're really pushing it because it's not so much related to the specific
;.r
development as it is to overall things in the city.
"= ~ Anderson: Then should we have something in a policy that says on these
- projects that are on these collector roads that we ask for that. I know there's
been projects on collector roads that we don't ask for it.
~,
,«~
Stiles: Can you think of one in specific.
~~_
`'=~ Anderson: 1 can't think of one right now.
Nichols: I thought we'd been pretty good about asking. The key is for ACRD to
' -~ figure out what they need to pay for and what no# to. (inaudible) See how we can
~~ (inaudible) through the conditions of the annexation process. Require aright-of-
~~~~ way without having to give them credits or purchase (inaudible).
n

-
Anderson: I talked to some people from both Idaho Fails and Twin Falls and
they said they've never bought right of-ways yet. That they ask the developers

Nichols: Still the same concept.
(inaudible discussion)
Bird: Yeah, but you can do a tot more (inaudible). I think you can look at Canyon
County and Caldwell anymore. When they want to do something with their
streets, they get it done. They (inaudible) they want to do. When you're
countywide you don't have that say. You get in line and wait.
Nichols: Gary, is Gary still here? Didn't we run into a situation with ACHD? They
weren't doing their own traffic studies. They were relying on the developer's
traffic studies?
Stiles: They still are.
Nichols: And that's one of the things, Keven that I think. I don't know the city will
have an influence over that but if ACHD will increase their application fees so
that #hey (inaudible) the payment and reimbursement of ACHD traffic study. That
might be one way of gefiting the information the planning commission and Council
need to make a decision. When the developer wants a traffic study that shows a
low traffic count, we know who's signature is on that (inaudible).
Sfiles: They also have a policy that has driven us insane about the collectors. If
they get a traffic study and if the Highway District agrees that it's a collector.
Then their policy is that they have to also share in the cost of building that road
because it's going to collect so much traffic. Weld, what their staff was instructed
to do, and I've learned this form staff that no longer works there, was that they
were told to designate them residential collectors. Thereby negating the Highway
Distric#'s need to contribute any money towards it. That's why they came up with
this new term residential collector. Even though it has the traffic of a full-blown
collector, they're calling it a residential collector so they don't have to pay for it.
What we've asked the Highway District to do, they said if you've got a thousand
homes coming into a square mile make them build a collector. It's their project
that's requiring that to be built. A good example is through Woodbridge
Subdivision off of Locust Grove. That is eventually connect to Eagle road out
there through where the Chevron. It wiH be a collector. There's no way anybody
can tell me that's going to have less traffic.
Shreeve: So, it's just not done because they don't want to put money into it?
Stiles; Right.
Shreeve: Can't they, somehow through the impact fees, get that. I mean isn't
there - or are they just electing not to do it?

Stiles: Apparently their policy is to cause them to pay for the additional width of
the roadway. Isn't that right Gary? They have to pay for the additional width and
the construction of that additional width. That's their current policy.
Bird: Don't their impact fees pay for that?
Stiles: (inaudible} it doesn't.
(inaudible discussion)
Bird: 1 beg your pardon, Gary?
Smith: 1 believe their impact fees are for widening (inaudible).
Stiles: To add capacity.
Shreeve: Well, see that's just another example of, in my opinion, ACRD has the
authority. Clearly they have 1 guess, it's not right.
(inaudible discussion)
Corrie: (inaudible) Would that not give the city the authority to say you will have
to be part of this cost?
Nichols: 1 think that's what we need to explore with fihem. Their nervous about
(inaudible) and they were proposing some increases in their impact fees. They
had to sole them back because of assault by developers. I mean we can -It's
kind of easy for us to say well we're going to do this. You're the one that
(inaudible) it's you that could get stuck with the violations of the constitutional and
all that stuff. (inaudible). If we can use the, what we have done with annexation is
some how help them out. (inaudible)
De Weerd: So. Bill are you going to explore how these other municipalities get
their right-of-way donated, not just dedicated?
Stiles: They don't have Highway Districts.
Nichols: Even so, the concept is the same Shari.
De Weerd: Yeah. It's still the same and it's something that we could do, that
ACHD can't because of their policies. What we can do and not be considered a
taking. Then we should be considering doing that. Then I guess at our next
meeting with ACHD, I think that's in July, is that when the next one is?
Corrie: June the, when is Will, the next meeting with ACHD? It's on the
calendar.

(inaudible) let alone (inaudible). They don't even have it in their budget to even
acquire the right-of-way let alone expand the roadway system. Did they ever get
back to you, Keith after you asked them point blank about the impact fees and
stuff? Did they get a come back with a report to you on that? They were saying,
at fiirst they tried to tail us that they were spending more in Meridian than they
collected. I mean, they're not even taking into account haw they're spending their
discretionary funds. What are they doing with all the Mures they get?
Bird: They give us the 5-year thing. You know they have stuff tike north Locust
Grove on the 5-year thing that hasn't even been touched. That's been on the 10-
year thing. It's like anything, like any accountant will tell you, they can take
numbers. You can do with numbers however you want them to tum aut. It's really
frustrating to me though. (inaudible). I think 1999, our one project was the overlay
on Ten Mile from Cheny Lane to Ustick. I'm not joking. That's the truth.
(inaudible discussion)
De Weerd: That's because that's the only thing they've done out here. The
only thing they can talk about.
Shreeve: So, I take it I'm the only one with the problem with ACRD, right?
i
(inaudible discussion)
Bird: They've got their hands tied a lot like ali people do, like you guys do.
(inaudible)
De Weerd: Yeah they have their requirements (inaudible).

Shreeve: Simply because a development comes in and whatever reason my
opinion is that cooks a little fishy. But if they see Steve says they approve it.
(inaudible)
Bird: Yeah. You know, who are we to argue with them? They're the experts on
the roads.
De Weerd: I don't see there's any reason why we cannot (inaudible)
(inaudible discussion)
Shreeve: Of curse that's my opinion, totally unfounded (inaudible).
Bird: Have you got any other questions concerning Planning and Zoning?
{inaudible discussion)
Nary: I just (inaudible) you know feedback for us. There's a lot of project suppose
to be approved and denied. We don't always have (inaudible). Denials are
always I guess the ones #hat 1 would like some feedback on. Is there something
that we didn't cover that we could cover better so that you have better
information? Is it something unrelated to our process? That's. what I (inaudible).
Something I guess I was just thinking of. VVe see projects and (inaudible) see
where it went one way or the other. I'm always curious.
Norton: Is there a way that we can get feedback on projects (inaudible)? Onoe
we send them on that's it. (inaudible)
Bird: All you have to do is get our agenda and Will writes passed or -
Nary: I was just curious on a feedback level as to what things process wise that
we do that would be either isn't helpful or things that we do that are helpful in
whatever your decision that you folks make. We don't hear that part, even if we
get a deasion back that says approved or denied. The hotel was a good
example, the Ameritel. We had recommended, (inaudible) you folks had also
denied it as well. It got a lot of press so that's how we found out what the result
was. Just getting the results sometimes doesn't give us any feedback on how we
could either improve our process wise. Having shorter meetings would be a
number one improvement to our process. Also how the information's gathered.
How the information gets transferred. What would be helpful to you in what we do
and then maybe we can try to at least make (inaudible}.
Anderson: I think the process works fine. I think as a genera; rule, the Council
tries to be supportive of the decisions that are made by the P8~. I think
occasionally there'll be new information or a different twist or something that
might be presented on a particular project when it comes to Council. We may just

take a different path than what you guys did.1 think you guys are doing a fine job
for the most part. We agree with a majority of your decisions. Occasionally
there'll be something that we don't. We're just like you guys, we're human and
we're going to make errors and we're occasionally have a little different slant on
things than you might. I think aA and all the process works pretty good.
Come: Generally speaking, you do great. I think what really hangs the Council
is that they get different information than you got. They'll bring something else in.
Sometimes we sit there and we say, what's this? Probably, a number of times,
we should have just sent it right back to you. They try to save time and time is
money to (inaudible). A lot of the things they hear differently than (inaudible).
Normally if it's about the same thing, (inaudible) that needs to be done.
(inaudible).
Anderson: (inaudible) like the Mayor says too. Especially when ifi s denied. They
look at the reasons why you denied it. Then they come in loaded with all of their
arguments for that particular issue. Sometimes we hear that completely different
than what you heard it.
Bird: We can tell who walks in here to make a presentation how you guys treated
him. If it's a certain lawyer or a certain engineer, we know you weren't too nice.
De Weerd: Mr. President
Bird: Yes.
De Weerd: 1 think you have a good point though Bill. I have heard comments
staff said that there's questions as to whether City Council and P&2 are on the
same page with things. 1 know that P&Z has gotten a lot better at saying this is
not a decision that we can mak®. It needs to be made at Council. That clarity has
helped, There are some areas that we set growth priority areas and we are
sticking to it. Springdale was probably one. I think you guys passed it and we
denied it. It was not in our growth area. You know we just are trying to stick to
that plan. That's probably one of the few places we really do not follow the
recommendations.
(inaudible discussion)
Stiles: Maybe you and Ron can fill them in maybe on more the philosophy
maybe where you're coming from. I think that Council is sick of seeing 8500 lots
everywhere. They want (inaudible) diversity. Somebody comes in (inaudible)
80.00 by 100.00 lots, every lot you can stick them. I think they're just sick of that.
De Weerd: I think they are #oo.

Y. ®e Weerd; One thing that really stands out is with Stanton Island and the one
~~ ~ ~~ on Lpcust Grove. They have their 5 percent open space as a pathway along the
~ ~~'~~~ canal that wasn't going to connect to anything. It was just, kind of their open
space stuck in the very back. Then it's like, how usable is that? I mean, it just did
_ not fit (inaudible) idea of why you have the open space. (inaudible)
Shreeve: I would agree. l think it would be helpful because we are, I guess I see
y~ that part of our role is that citizen oversight. I think it would be more helpful to
have some recommendations from staff. A lot of times there isn't really a
`~~ recommendation. It says it meets the requirement. If it meets the requirement I
'" ~~ ~~ ~' have a hard time denying it because that's what the ordinance requires. If the
r ~ staff says it isn't usable space and they aren't recommending it. That would be
more helpful. That would give us the ability to tell the developer that doesn't work
_ for us (inaudible).
~~~~ De Weerd: The staff did tha#. I reaAy like in the Packard Estates (inaudible).
~~~ You know they had some questions on the parking. They had some questions on
~ ~ ~ _ the hours of opera#ion and you sent some of those into us and some of those
questions still carried forward and the findings that those were issues that
(inaudible). Those recommendations went up too. I like that. I like to see what
you don't agree with staff on and that you would like to have that specifically
discussed. I don't think City Council should have to rehash everything you've
r.,
`` already hear. You guys do a good job of getting the technical and all of that stuff
settles. The only things t believe should come up to us are the items that area
~` ~ There's either a conflict with your opinion and the developer's or
still unresolved
s.~~~4
~

your opinion and staff or what have you. I would like to see more that be the
,
. .
focus of our hearings. Then we don't get (inaudible) as much as (inaudible). It's
just a waste of time. You guys have already done all that. There's no reason why
we should do it too. I like that idea if staff could do that. 1 don't see that there
should be any reason why staff (inaudible).
;;*;:
;~`
Stiles: VNell, (inaudible) we're feeling like we're going to get backed up more by
,~~,
~~
Council too because when you're dealing with annexations it's a whole different
~ ~ ~~~~. ballgame than somebody coming in. They've got the property annexed. it's
zoned. They come in and they meet the ordinance. They come in and ask for
annexation. Well, is it in the best interest of the City of Meridian? That could
-= ~ ~ include a whole lot of other things besides, are their lots 5,000 square foot
` minimum? Are they meeting some of the goats of the Comprehensive Plan by
,;~ ~~ providing diversity? I guess that's where it comes in. The people come in and say
~ well, you've got to approve it because we meet the comp plan and we meet the
~_ ordinances. They can't use that as an excuse because if the city doesn't want it,
~ ~°~ it doesn't matter, we don't annex it.
Wichols; Which is why the urban density subdivisions in the county in the area of
~~' -~ impact represent such a threat to our ability (inaudible). It's in those (inaudible).

Try to get that plan (inaudible) would really just say no to (inaudible). One thing
that I'd point out is P&Z Commission and the City Council will get enough
information to make the decision. The recommendation (inaudible) to the
Council. (inaudible) The city is successful (inaudible) All of those things the
has been able to show that there was substantial evidence in the record to
support the decision. That's (inaudible) The things that you do (inaudible).
Anderson: I have kind of a little different slant. I mean 1 look at a project and I
say well it may meet all of the city's ordinances but I still don't particularly care for
this design. I look at design as kind of more kind of like art. What's appeasing to
one person may not be to another. I try to be really flexible with that part as far
as, just like the open space and where it's located. I'm kind of like Tammy if that
think looks tike there's absolutely no use for it. I mean, you have to somewhat
use your own judgement there on those kind of cases. I've denied some that
even though they meet atl of our ordinances I just don't like the design of them or
the layout or 1 think they could do a better job. That's tough because at that point
you're thinking these poor guys, really all they need to do is just tweak a few
things but if I deny them, they're going to have to go back through this process
again. If you guys would do some of that a little bit more and maybe tweak some
of those things. Then they wouldn't even be any problems when they get to us
and they wouldn't have to go back through that whole process. 1 guess I'm, 1
differ a IittJe bit with Tammy on the fact that the developer disagrees that he's
denied. Then he can come to us and present different arguments. I want to see
the developer. I would like to have the majority of the issues ironed out by the
time that it gets to the City Council. IF you guys have issues with the project, then
i think that developer ought to be in there working with staff to try to get those
issues resolved. Then if it's just aclear-cut thing that it won't work. We need a
variance for this or that. Not just because they got denied with you guys, oh I'll
just fake it to the council and I'll see if I can smooze (sic) them over or something.
I'd like to see them work out all those issues.
(inaudible discussion)
Bird: I was going to say I don't think Planning and Zoning
(inaudible discussion)
Nary: I agree with what you're saying (inaudible). I don't (inaudible) have enough
in them to face that.
(inaudible discussion)
Nary: That might be something in the long range to took at I do think i#'s very
important. That type of clutter is the thing, at least I see the public has the biggest
heartburn with. The first thing they don't like is compacted commercial. How
many times do we hear I don't want another Fairview Avenue? The next thing

that they have (inaudible) the ugly gray buildings. That might be something that
Shari's department could work, design districts.
De Weerd; I think that Stanton Island or Stanton Park and the Locust Grove
one Englewood. With Stanton Park it was (inaudible). Maybe the lot sixes are
smaller in Ashford Greens. They were keeping the same lot sizes and having
small houses and lower scale. That was complimenting that. In Englewood, they
were almost limiting the properly owner next door. What they could really do with
their property. (inaudible) There were also other things in addition to that.
(inaudible discussion)
Nary: I guess the point I hear from developers in all of this right now, there's not a
not a tremendous amount of growth in Mer+dian. They've denied a whole lot of
them. (inaudible) Anyway, has there been any thought from the Council on the
moratorium statute that allows that (inaudible)? The statutory method and to put
the developers pff and to allow you the time to get -. I think that's part of the
reason that some of these cpncems are out there that the folks have said. I think
that (inaudible) there's a statutory method to do that. To hold them off and it's not
like their not going to complain but at least you've got the authority to do it. Is that
something that you would maybe want to think about. At least save some
complaining because it puts everybody on notice, here's the rules. We're going to
get this plan passed if it takes us 6 months (inaudible). They're not going to have
to pay their fees and get sent back like you were saying and start over again if
you deny them. That way you can get on with (inaudible).
Nichols: Moratorium is, Bill I can't remember the length of time -
Stiles: 180 days.
Nary: Not if there's a plan. There's an indefinite period of time if there's a plan.
It's a moratorium from development of application that you have 120 days
(inaudible) The other code section (inaudible). The legislature assumes that
you're going to have a number of hearings in the development of your
Comprehensive Plan. It's not the (inaudible). It's an open ended time period. It
gives you that authority when you, especially when you develop (inaudible). We
may have 4 or 5 Public Hearing on the comp plan. Maybe more maybe less. You
folks may have as many or more. So, it might be 6 or 8 months until you get a
comp plan you're comfortable with. I think (inaudible). It just makes them angry.
That gives you the statutory mechanism in which to do that. Say look we're going
to just make you wait. That way, you're not sending them back after their
(inaudible) and all this hassle because you really want to make (Inaudible).
Anyway, it's just something to think about.
Stiles: Well, can Council decide to do that one night. The next morning that it's -

Nary: They can decide to do that one night at a hearing and decide if there's
enough -
Bird: There'$ so many days -
Nary: There's still emergency language in the statute that requires that. We
looked at that a few months back and some other issues that we had. It's a
mechanism to at least look at. There may not be enough information. (inaudible)
At least it's an option that would give you the ability to say we're going to hold off
on this development. (inaudible}
(inaudible discussion)
Bird: Any other topics? Anybody else have any other questions?
Nary: You guys are looking at the clock. We're used to going late.

(inaudible discussion)
Norton: (inaudible) this laundry list (inaudible). We haven't gotten to them at all. I
thought maybe that's why we're going to 2 meetings a month is so we can have
some time to {inaudible). Is there anyway that we can (inaudible). So that we can
have time (inaudible).
(inaudible discussion)
Bird: That's kind of (inaudible) beyond the call of duly.
(inaudible discussion)
Bird: Yeah. We were hoping the 2 meetings would do that.
Stiles: We got kind of fouled up in January because those meetings weren't
noticxd. Then we had a big flood of them on the next meeting. That kind of
snowballed. Now we're only taking 6 new PubNc Hearings per meeting. If we
have a little bit of overflow, we might have 1 or 2 on the second meeting.
Hopefully that's going to ease off a tittle bit.
Norton: We're still going 13 or 14 Public Hearings per meeting.
Stiles: Not new ones. They're continued.

You can say, we're going to do Public Hearings from 7 to 9:00. Then we're going

have to take the whole meeting and do Public Hearings.

You have to notice it properly

because you'll get people up there and you'll have 5 of them run up there for 15
minutes a piece or you allow. We are bad on that. We allow guys to get back up.
Then we spend and hour and 15 minutes listening to something we've heard 2
weeks before from a developer. That's our fault.

simple.

set a time and they bang through like that.

Subject: Comp Plan Dates
At last night's P8Z meeting (5-1~, the Commissioners decided on the
following dates ngarding the Comp Plan amendment process. I've elaborated
on the topics of each meeting a bit, based on the Commission's initial
discussion in March.
.,-~-.
May 29 -Discuss the overall Comp Plan hearing process with City Council
at their joint meeting. This will include such issues as:
* Hearing location (Cornention Center?, school?)
* How public testimony should be received and "managed" (i.e. amount of
time allowed per testimony, focusing testimony into geographic areas to r' ,.~
~~~~
keep it focused, how written testimony will be reviewedCncorporated, ~- ~ f
etc.)
* Level of presentation detail the Commission and Council expect from 4
Staff at the hearing t
* Designated media corrtad person throughout the Comp Plan hearing process
* Level of "finality" the draft plan should have before P8Z Commission
fon+vards their final recommendation to City Council
June 7 -Begin the meeting at 6:OOpm. The first hour (6:00 - 7:00) will be
a Comprehensive Plan Workshop for Staff to do an initial overview of the
draft and introduce the neighborhood center concept and other significant
changes from the June 2000 version of the Plan to the Commission. This
workshop will be publicly noticed but no public testiimony will ~
received.
June 21 -Begin the meeting at 6:OOpm, if necessary, for another Workshop.
Depending on the Commission's level of comfort after the June 7 meeting,
this meeting may be necessary to continue an overview of the Plan and
allow for more exchange between Staff, SAIC and the Commission. Notice the
same as June 7.
June 28 -First public hearing on the Comp Plan. Notices for this meeting
will, of course, need to include the location, assuming it will not be
held at City Hall. (Bill Nary will not be available for this first
hearing.)
I think that about covers it. Keith or Shelby, please correct me if I got
any of these times/dateswrong from last night's meeting.

STATE GOVERNMENT AND STATE AFFAIRS
CHAPTER 65
LOCAL LAND USE PLANNING
67-6508. PLANNING DUTIES. It shall be the duty of the planning or
planning and zoning commission to conduct a comprehensive planning process
designed to prepare, implement, and review and update a comprehensive plan,
hereafter referred to as the plan. The plan shall include all land within
the jurisdiction of the governing board. The plan shall consider previous
and existing conditions, trends, desirable goals and objectives, or
desirable future situations for each planning component. The plan with
maps, charts, and reports shall be based on the following components as
they may apply to land use regulations and actions unless the plan
specifies reasons why a particular component is unneeded.
(a) Property Rights -- An analysis of provisions which may be necessary
to insure that land use policies, restrictions, conditions and fees do not
violate private property rights, adversely impact property values or create
unnecessary technical limitations on the use of property and analysis as
prescribed under the declarations of purpose in chapter 80, title 67, Idaho
Code.
(b) Population -- A population analysis of past, present, and future
trends in population including such characteristics as total population,
age, sex, and income.
(c) School Facilities and Transportation -- An analysis of public school
capacity and transportation considerations associated with future
development.
(d) Economic Development -- An analysis of the economic base of the area
including employment, industries, economies, jobs, and income levels.
(e) Land Use -- An analysis of natural land types, existing land covers
and uses, and the intrinsic suitability of lands for uses such as
