Ustick Road Request: Annexation and Zoning of 5.04 Acres of Land with a C -C Zoning District C. Public Hearing: SHP 14-001 Sugarman Subdivision by George Sugarman Located 1450 W. Ustick Road Request: Short Plat Approval Consisting of Four (4) Building Lots on 3.99 Acres of Land in a Proposed C -C Zoning District De Weerd: Item 7-B and C are public hearings on AZ 14-007 and SHP 14-001. 1 will open these two public hearings with staff comments. Chatterton: Madam Mayor and Council Members, this is, as you mentioned, an annexation and zoning. It's a short plat for the Sugarman Subdivision. The site consists of 3.99 acres of land. It is currently zoned RUT. Is located at 1450 West Ustick and that's the northeast corner of Linder and Ustick. The applicant requests annexation and zoning of just over five acres with a C -C zoning district and a short plat is also proposed, consisting of four building lots on 3.99 acres. A conceptual development plan is proposed that shows a 3,600 square foot gas station, 12,500 square foot retail commercial multi -tenant building and a 5,000 square foot bank with a drive-thru. Because the drive-thru is shown at the east boundary of the site adjacent to property that's designated for residential, staff recommends the concept plan be revised to relocate the drive-thru internally within the site. Access is shown on the concept plan via Linder and Ustick, with cross -access to the north. Staff recommends a right -in, right -out access via Linder and access to Ustick to be determined by ACHD. The P&Z's recommendation was to approve with the development agreement and those provisions are in Exhibit B of your staff report. At the Commission in favor Laren Bailey testified. No opposition. And the only written testimony has also been submitted by Laren Bailey in favor of the application. There are no outstanding issues from either P&Z or staff for you tonight. Happy to answer any questions. De Weerd: Thank you, Bruce. Council, any questions? Milam: I have none. Rountree: I have none at this time. Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 6 of 28 Bird: I have none. De Weerd: Okay. Is the applicant here? Thank you. Good evening. If you will, please, state your name and address for the record. Sherrow: My name is Scott Sherrow. I'm with LEI Engineers and Surveyors. I'm standing in for Laren Bailey tonight. My address is 3032 East Copperpoint Drive, Meridian. De Weerd: Thank you. Sherrow: By the way, happy birthday. De Weerd: Thank you. Sherrow: We agree with the staff report. The only comment that we would like to make -- or request we would like to make is under the Site Specific Conditions of Approval, Section 2.11. We agree that it's our responsibility to construct the sewer and water through the site. What we do request is that we'd like to defer its construction until after a user is identified and construct the improvements at the time of the building permit. There are currently two eight inch stubs and two sewer services to the site. It's our belief that if a larger user comes through and utilizes more than one of the four lots proposed, that the additional services through the site will not be needed or may be -- need to be reconfigured. So, it's our request that we try to come to an understanding of that need at the time of building permit and, again, we do understand it's our responsibility to put in those improvements at the time, but we'd like to have it deferred until we better understand it. Short of that I'm here to answer any questions that I can. And thank you for hearing this tonight. De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions? Bird: I have none. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: I have a question for Kyle on the request of the applicant with respect to sewer and water. And it looks like he's studying that right now. Radek: Yeah. Councilman Rountree, I was not prepared for that question and that -- we have -- we have site specific conditions of approval that say the applicant shall be responsible for constructing that and, I apologize, I -- sir, could you repeat your -- your argument for not constructing it? Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 7 of 28 Sherrow: Well, it's not that we are -- won't construct it. We do understand it's our responsibility, but what we'd like to do is defer it until we can better understand where those utilities would be best located. Right now I think there is a proposal out there to kind of loop the water through the site. If we have one or two major users on that particular piece of property -- Nary: Sir, could you speak into the mike. It's hard for him to pick it up. Sherrow: Excuse me. We may want to reroute those utilities in a different configuration. Radek: Yeah. This is just an annexation and zoning and as long as -- I'm not sure this is -- oh, there we go. As long as the -- we doing annexation and zoning first. De Weerd: And the short plat. Radek: And the short plat, which I'm not really familiar short plats. Same rules for a short plat as far as Warren signing it as -- Nary: Yes. Radek: Because we will want that infrastructure built before Warren signs the short plat. Chatterton: Madam Mayor and Council Members, I apologize, I wasn't aware of any outstanding issues here, so we are really not prepared for this. I don't see a problem with -- with granting the applicant's desire here, if engineering doesn't. Radek: No. As long as we get the infrastructure where we want it at the end of the platting process and we are going to -- we have controls to make sure that happens, but that's okay with me and Public Works, I should say. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: Bruce, really with a short plat all he's asking is not to put it in until we definitely know where it's at. So, I believe we have done this before on a short plat. Now, with a preliminary plat, then, we -- he would have to do it, but until you know exactly on a short plat where it's going to be, I believe we have allowed this before and as long as he knows that he's got to get it through -- to and through his property. Chatterton: Madam Mayor and Council Member Bird, I'm comfortable with the request. Bird: Comfortable with that? Okay. Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 8 of 28 De Weerd: Okay. Zaremba: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: We do respond to staff's suggestion that the back building be refigured to move the drive -up window away from the residential. Sherrow: That site plan that was provided was in concept only. We are not asking for the building placement approval at this time, that was just for concept for an idea of what may occur. If a bank or drive-thru does come into play on one of those parcels, we would be happy to talk about the configuration that best meets the community's needs. By no means what we have shown you today is what we are looking for approval. It was concept only. Zaremba: Thank you. De Weerd: Okay. Any further questions? Bird: I have none, Mayor. De Weerd: Okay. Thank you so much. Sherrow: Thank you. De Weerd: This is a public hearing. Is there anyone who would like to offer testimony on either of these two items? Seeing none, Council, any further questions for staff or the applicant at this time? Bird: I have none. De Weerd: If not, I would entertain a motion to close these two public hearings. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we close the public hearings on AZ 14-007 and SHP 14-001. Zaremba: Second. Milam: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing on Items 7-B and C. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carried. Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 9 of 28 MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we approve AZ 14-007 and to include all staff and applicant comments. Milam: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item 7-B. Any discussion from Council? Madam Clerk. De Weerd: All ayes. Motion carried. Roll Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, absent; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Bird. Bird: I move we approve SHP 14-001 and to include all staff and applicant comments and this is the part that has -- takes the sewer line to and through, which the -- when we get to the preliminary plat the determination of location will be at that time. Milam: Second. Zaremba: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: This is the preliminary plat. So, it will be -- Bird: No. This is a short plat. De Weerd: So, it will be -- this is a short plat. So, it is a plat. But it would be upon building permit. I believe that was the request. Bird: Yeah. Preliminary. De Weerd: Okay. So, does motion and second agree with that? Bird: Yeah. Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 10 of 28 Milam: Second agrees. De Weerd: Okay. Any discussion? Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: Madam Mayor, would the maker of the motion clarify that the applicant has stated that this is concept and this is not an approval of the drive-thru on the residential side on the east. Bird: Yes. His comments stated that and that was my motion to accept his comments. Milam: Second concurs. De Weerd: Okay. Okay. That's noted in the motion. If there is no further discussion, Madam Clerk. Roll Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, absent; Milam, yea; Cavener, yea. De Weerd: All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. D. Public Hearing: Southern Highlands Real Property Exchange De Weerd: Item 7-D is a public hearing on the Southern Highlands real property exchange. I'm not sure who is taking this. Mr. Nary? Nary: Madam Mayor, I don't know if Public Works has any input on this particular item. This is a property exchange. It's been properly noticed. We have a parcel of ground in the Southern Highlands development that is for a lift station. There was originally going to be a small public park that was going to be in this area that was decided they were going to make it a private park, so they didn't need as much ground for that and a different location. Eventually there will be sewer, obviously, to this parcel, as the lift station can go away. So, what they have offered to do is the city has a well lot site already in this parcel -- and if I'm getting this wrong Kyle probably knows more specifics. But, anyway, what they are willing to do is, essentially, move the equivalent amount of ground that the lift station lot currently occupies when the lift station is -- can go away, they will add that ground to the city's well site, which will allow us a little bit more of a use of that site for a future water development in that southern area. So, they are, essentially, exchanging the land that's currently being used for a lift station to adding that to the well site that we already have and that's what the land exchange is in regards to. And if I messed any of that up, Kyle, please correct me, but -- so, all we are doing is, essentially, moving that. But we are going to be continuing to use that well -- or that lift station lot for a period of time until the sewer connection is completed, which I don't know what the date of that is, but we will have a short window of using that lift station and actually leasing it back. That was on -- that was the item on your Consent Agenda Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 11 of 28 that was moved off, we had to clarify a few things with that first. So, anyway, that's the public hearing part. I don't know if anyone else is here from the public to talk about it. De Weerd: Okay. Kyle, did you have anything you wanted to add? Is anyone here to make comment on this? Council, any questions for staff? Rountree: I have none. Bird: I have none. Nary: Oh, Madam Mayor, one last thing. And so on your -- Council, on your ordinance in Section 9 -- so, when that comes up that ordinance just will finalize this exchange, so that's the purpose of that. De Weerd: I did have two people signed up in favor of this property exchange. But if they don't want to make any comment, we will just include that in the record. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: Seeing that, I move that we close the public hearing on Item 7-D. Bird: Second. De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to close the public hearing on Item 7-D. All those in favor say aye. All ayes. MOTION CARRIED: FIVE AYES. ONE ABSENT. Rountree: Accept 9-A, then, to finalize this. Bird: That, yeah, just goes to the ordinance on it. De Weerd: Yes. We will wait until the ordinance. Okay? Item 8: Department Reports A. Pegasus Planning and Development— Economic Development and Fields District Recommendations and Findings De Weerd: Okay. So, we will move into our Department Reports. Council, I'm pleased to introduce you to this next item. Pegasus is coming back to report on their findings and I guess I would just like to give a little bit of an overview. As the report really demonstrates, there has been a lot of work done in this community leading up to their report and putting together a plan on how best to move forward as a community. We Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 12 of 28 have placed a lot of the building blocks to get us to this point and we have seen a lot of residential, office, retail and healthcare grow in our community and certainly a lot of that was in the healthcare sector. We have seen a lot of activity and result from a real focus on what the CORE put together and looking at health sciences and technology and certainly the addition of Idaho State University was -- was kind of the completion -- that final piece that really brought all of that together. We have consolidated our Building and Planning Departments, we have looked at our permitting processes, our Planning Department has put together a small business concierge program to help those one time only users through the bureaucracy sometimes of permitting and the unknown -- I guess atmosphere or terrain of that. So, this was the logical next step in hiring a consultant to -- to look at where we are, looking at a comprehensive economic development program. They -- when we first hired Pegasus we hired them to take a look at the Fields District and the Fields District we had prepared a white paper that contemplated another industry cluster that was similar to our health science and technology corridor, but what made it different is that the CORE was developed by a free market. They really started putting that with Blue Cross, with St. Luke's, with ISU and a number of the healthcare providers in that area. The Fields Districts are a little bit different. It's open space, it's -- it's not developed and it has a lot of questions in addition to what we did with the white paper. So, we have the concept, we have the -- a branding effort and the naming of it and Pegasus has really taken it to that next step. The first step was a go or a no go. Did it merit enough consideration to, then, take it to the next level and further flushing out the viability of an economic development cluster in that area and in the meantime we also embarked on an economic development strategy that I have been really impressed and pleased with the consultants in how they have pulled in a number of stakeholders in the conversation. By doing so, they have created ownership and some buy -in to the process and into the conversations that have surrounded all of this and I can tell you that there has been quite a buzz that has been created and a great deal of the excitement about what role we all play in moving forward in becoming -- in rolling out the strategy, but also creating that synergy that will net new upstarts and what we hope are family wage jobs and seeing our existing businesses thrive in our community. We need to put more arrows in our economic development quiver and so today we certainly welcome our consultants back to make their presentation on their findings and steps to move forward. So, I will turn this over -- I believe to Sean and welcome you and your team back to City Council Chambers. Garretson: Thank you, Mayor and Council. I have a couple of brochures and I'm not sure -- Bruce, have they received this before? To be honest with you, what I think I'd like to do is hand one out to you all, because I primarily brought them for the public and if you can share those. I think you received one yesterday also. But we will make sure that you get some copies. Some of you in the audience have seen these before, too, but I'm just going to hand out a couple and you can share. Okay. De Weerd: Now, Sean, if you will, please, state your name and address for the record first. Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 13 of 28 Garretson: Yes. Sean Garretson. Austin, Texas. U.S.A. So, Mayor, thank you very much for that -- those opening remarks. It really -- I love hearing that, especially the part about buy in. You know, that is part of our process. We have found that the more you involve people, the more they are bought in, and the more effective you are going to be at implementation. So, you know, we have spent -- Steven and I -- Steven Spaulding with Point A Consulting, we were talking today and we first started with you in September, so, you know, we have come a long way and we have really enjoyed our time here. I want to just point out this logo on the top here. Meridian Rising. The Mayor's initial comments, actually, were the origin for us putting this together, where Meridian is where agriculture meets technology. So, my project manager Jillian, she -- she's a great project manager, but she's also starting a brewery on the side. So, I questioned her if that was a hops, but she assures me it's wheat. You guys might be able to decipher that better than 1. But I think this is a very exciting time for you guys and what I would like to do is not really go into a lot of the detail of the audit, you heard a lot of that. So, really, kind of hit the broad brush strategies, knowing that there is a lot more detail in the strategic plan. So, this is the agenda that we are going to cover, but this -- this theme really is the overall vision for this economic development strategy, diversify the economy by cultivating talent, developing an innovation eco system and continuing to improve quality of place to keep and attract talent. That's a theme throughout this project. There we go. So, just a little bit of background. Some redundancy with what the Mayor was saying. So, the go, no go, was phase one of that Fields District and we finished that before Christmas and, then, you engaged us to develop phase two, which is to put together a plan for implementing the Fields District and, then, at the same time you also hired us to do an economic audit and, then, a strategy based on that audit. So, all of those elements of that economic audit went into that and we are going to go through the recommendations tonight. I'm having a hard time advancing this. Oh, did you do that for me? Chatterton: Yeah. Garretson: Thanks. So, what goes into this secret sauce of the economic development strategy, which is a five year plan. You know, it really is a lot about the -- the quantitative part that you have seen before. All these fancy pens aren't working for me either. So, the quantitative input and, then, qualitative input all goes into the five year plan and I'm curious if we can just get a show of hands of anybody that has been in any of our interviews, focus groups and you won't mind just raising your hand. Love seeing that. Love seeing that. So, we have put a lot into this. One of the things that you will see a little bit later is one of the charts that we have from the business survey that we did, an online business survey. Their top three priorities, small business assistance, business expansion, downtown improvements and business recruitment is right behind. Mind advancing that again? Chatterton: Sean, try it again. And we think we might have gotten the so-called smart board working again. Are you able to draw on there? No luck, uh? Okay. I will -- just let me know when you want it advanced. Please go ahead. Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 14 of 28 Garretson: So, just the executive summary. So, first of all, you have two deliverables now. You have the economic audit and strategy with an appendix that has all of the data that we have been collecting, which is pretty extensive and I think for Brenda and Bruce and the Mayor I think you're going to find a lot of that data helpful in your business development efforts. And then -- but the real crux of this whole strategy -- it's about fostering a culture of innovation, having predictable growth, economic diversification, talent development and quality of place. So, some of our key findings. I first -- you know, when you do an audit you look at the good and you look at the -- the areas where you can improve upon and I want to just say, first off, that you guys have done an excellent job of putting those building blocks in place that has lead you to the success you have seen in office, retail, healthcare, especially with the CORE initiative. Economic diversification is necessary. It's necessary for a lot of reasons, as you probably know. One, just job opportunities. When you have a recession disposable income, you know, really is not spent, so your retail suffers. So, there is a need for that. We also have definitely noticed there is -- there is insufficient collaboration among the business and workforce groups. Lack of tourism assets. I think what is going on in your downtown I think is great, but I think that our recommendation is going to help you build upon that. Also insufficient small business support resources I think the efforts that the city has made in having the business concierges I think is a great step, but in terms of technical assistance for small business, that's an area needed. And, then, you have also had a significant loss of farmland and the missing key demographics, particularly the millennial demographic, that 25 to 35 year old demographic. Next slide, please. So, I wanted to point this out. First of all, why are the millennials important? First, it is one, if not the second largest demographic in the United States. Fifty-five million 25 to 35 and they spend money. They like to spend money. I have an 18 year old and she spends money. I know she's going to be a spender as well. But what's really telling and very important for you guys to understand is that while your population growth has really just kicked off, especially since 2010, your millennial growth declined during that same period. In Boise that millennial growth increased during that same time frame. Downtown Boise has a lot of those assets that millennials seek. You know, if you go downtown you see -- you see that. And I think you know kind of what I mean. So, there is several themes that really form the basis for all these economic development strategies. One, this is not an -- this is not a project that should be implemented by one person or one department. Every city department and its economic development partners have a role in its implementation. Secondly, future land, utility extension, and your capital improvements plan has to be predictable and that's -- that's very important for economic development growth and for sustainability fiscally for the city. Making education, business, and workforce partnerships number one priority. Investing in the downtown and the quality of place improvements. That's going to attract talent, it's going to keep people here. It's going to make your city better than it already is. Again, attractive demographics that Meridian is missing. Breed that culture of innovation and build on your ag historic strengths. And, lastly, I just want to say economic development is a marathon, not a sprint and what do I mean by that is, you know, another analogy -- there is no silver bullet in economic development. It takes the building blocks that you put in place and it takes a sophisticated and long-term effort to be successful. Next slide, please. So, we did a lot of target industry analysis. All of that analysis is in the Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 15 of 28 appendix and in the report and there is a lot more specificity to those industries. But we also did occupational analysis to understand which of these industries makes the most sense for the region and, you know, obviously, we looked at what the state is looking at, as well as BVEP, who I think is represented here tonight. Those last three target industries are very much related to healthcare and the CORE initiative, but just know that, again, the economic development strategy is built upon the input that we have received, the quantitative input on the target industry analysis as well. So, let me slide into the economic development strategy and talk about that. Next slide, please. So, the components of the overall strategy -- of course the Fields District -- we have two reports, but all the strategy in the Fields District have been folded into the economic development strategy. So, you have one economic development plan now that can be implemented. You have eight target industries. You have five catalyst projects and, then, you have six strategies -- all of those catalyst projects within those strategies. And I will explain that in just a second. So, these catalyst projects, they are not always necessarily brick and mortar projects, but several of them are, including the Venture Meridian start up center and the downtown conference center and what we -- we are going to talk about the catalyst projects first, but just, again, know that each of these projects is folded within the strategies. Next slide. So, I'm going to let Steven come up and talk about three of these catalyst projects and, then, I'm going to hop back up. Spaulding: Thank you. I'm Steven Spaulding with Point A Consulting based in Louisville, Kentucky, and part of the team with Pegasus Planning. We are delighted to be back with you again and we are bringing to closure this great amount of work in the form that you see it here. I just have to comment back on -- there was one of the earlier slides that Sean showed that had the secret sauce and everything and you might have thought that was a martini glass. It was not. It was a funnel and the point of the funnel is that everything is coming together to a point of common -- of common importance to us. The other things I think -- the Mayor teed up excellently were this first catalyst project comes from in the sense that this desire to parallel the experience that had been achieved with the CORE. In developing this other cluster, which was self evident that agriculture was this basic strength of the region, the historic strength of the region and you have seen that in all of the previous slides that lead up to this, whether it's target industries and the themes and so forth, but as the Mayor also pointed out in developing this cluster, is that it's scattered over the wide region. In fact, the assets that are part of the cluster are scattered as far as Moscow -- to be obvious for the College of Agriculture, but they are even in other states and they are in Idaho Falls and in Twin Falls and so forth. So, we really got close to the stakeholder group here and the issue for us was what is it the stakeholders are really looking for. And as we originally started with the theme of research, which, again, was part of what the Mayor and the city was asking us to look at, we really found that behind that came the question of innovation and what is the innovation system that delivers the talent that the businesses need. The businesses are here and they are conducting many different kinds of research and, you know, ranging from the classic fuel research to the classic laboratory research and new varieties and new food processes and so forth. But as we came to that conclusion, then, it shifted the focus from the research itself to the people who are the foundations for this industry sector and so we called this our talent and innovation center and as you Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 16 of 28 will see we are going to go forward -- also this will be wrapped into a strategy as well. I will let you advance the slides for me. The diagram on the right shows sort of the concept of the strategy already that if you focus on workforce or the CORE and you develop that -- that critical mass and competitive advantage, that you have the ability, then, to fuel entrepreneurship, to build industry partnerships and to ultimately research and through collaborations is part of what can come about through that. It's really self- evident that every university -- every one of the major success communities that we think of automatically, Research Triangle Park or the San Francisco Bay area or any others, and many smaller communities, it is based on the back of the universities, the community colleges and all those workforce developments are centered. So, the recommendations here really build on what we have already started in the dialogue with all of the educational institutions in your region, including your community colleges and including the public schools. This is very important to emphasize that it's that entire continuum of K through 12. Each of them interestingly do have the industry partnerships, but they are themselves somewhat finalized and there hasn't been a cluster wide strategy among them to say given what we do with K through 12, given what we do in community college, given what we do in higher education and looking at the full range of things, the higher education does not just think that you think of as agriculture research, but now all these applied areas of research -- like in nano technology and precision agriculture and computer science that -- things that are going on at Boise State, how do you bring all that together to support the ag -- the industry. And so the idea of a campus as a place to do that is -- builds on actually the precedence that you have with Idaho State and the school board or with College of Western Idaho and it's other partnerships with industries and that the public schools have already done. So, we believe that by building this together, creating a business plan on how to do that and, then, above all I think this 1-D, creating the leadership structure for this initiative. The key is going to get that group to coalesce and see themselves as having a common agenda and a common initiative to drive this forward. Next slide, please. This was just an example project that we know exists, so, you know, we are not making this up that this kind of thing could be done and this reflects two different projects that were really impressive, one of which is in Illinois in Richland Community College, which has its own campus that includes all of these different features from trade shows to classic research and industry partnership space, but also in the lower box the local traits, the agri-science farm in Lexington, Kentucky, which has its own farm and this is the key thing about this. This is a high school, very similar to what you have at the Meridian technical school, the professional center, but it's actually located on an 80 acre farm and we have other examples like this around the country where these blends of activity can occur. Next slide. The second area -- we have talked so much about agri-tourism and it's really indicative -- and Sean and I have had this experience coming to the community. I actually brought my wife on this trip. It was a chance for us to do this. And to say what is it we can do in our spare time and beyond, obviously, going to the mountains, the question is how would you access all the things that are related to agriculture if you're wanting to access them and, in fact, there are a lot of ag heritage and agricultural related tourism bits and pieces and we have confirmed, actually, even in our conversations with the state Department of Agriculture, that they are keeping an inventory of them, but it is bits and pieces. It's this winery and Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 17 of 28 that winery and this dairy experience and something else going on over here and there is no place we found, whether it's at the Boise airport or whether it's anywhere in the region, that you can kind of get a sense of what is the gateway to get to all of this. So, the strategy here is to build a comprehensive approach. This is a case where you can say, well, why Meridian. It's a matter sometimes of who steps forward and leads and I think that by stepping forward and leading and beginning to build the platform where these kinds of activities are already in place can come together. You will see that there is an unmet need here that can be filed in this community. Next slide, please. We think a way to do this is to build on experiences that, again, we have seen in other places, something that we call an agricultural experience center, but it's -- and this requires a specific site, it's going to require some significant investment of capital, public-private partnerships and so forth and it really needs to bring the industry together to support it. But I would dare say that if this existed, this is the type of thing that somebody coming up here to do some fly fishing in the region, somebody coming to see some wineries, somebody coming into the airport and sees, oh, there is a place where we can go and from this we can access everything that's going on. We have made some suggestions that the Highway 16 area, because of the development that's going on there, could be a place. But, again, it's going to require leadership of convening the stakeholders, bringing them together on a consensus vision and a business plan to show how it would operate. Next slide, please. And, finally, you have seen this other theme of innovation and all of these pieces connect so beautifully. We know that there have been already efforts to create a center for entrepreneurship in Meridian and there are also activities going on throughout the region and Nampa has an incubator and there is other -- there is a water cooler downtown Boise and there are programs that are statewide. They haven't necessarily been brought together with all of their greatest strengths here and so the question here is can we support the innovation, can we support the tourism, all of this by maximizing the resources and the focus on an incubator and this is the piece that could be a low hanging fruit, because you actually already have a city -- a city - owned facility, the question is are the programming and the support for it robust and our point is it isn't robust now, but it could be and it wouldn't take that much to bring it to the next level. If you go forward. And these were just sort of examples, again, showcasing the existing facility you have. There is no one organization that has a monopoly on this space and clearly you're going to have private equity investors and angels in the region that can be brought together. We think that that's part of the secret sauce for this particular piece. Sean. Garretson: Thank you, Steven. So, the last two catalyst projects and, then, I will talk briefly about the strategy. We were told we had two hours; is that accurate? Now, we are going to try to wrap up -- De Weerd: Sean, it's my birthday. Garretson: I know. I know. De Weerd: And as much I love this community, I don't really need to spend my whole evening here. Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 18 of 28 Garretson: Exactly. So, the fourth one is the ag focus real estate development project, which we -- which we have talked a lot about before and this was, you know, a lot of -- this was a result of our first analysis in the Fields District where we noticed how much ag land was being lost in this whole region. Next slide. I think you have seen this model before of what goes into an ag focus real estate development project. Again, we are not making this up. They have several hundred of these across the country. But you have a small almost organic sort of CSA -- community gardens, put a garden in the middle with development around that. Next slide. So, you can see some of the recommendations here. I will talk later about the fiscal impact modeling. We actually worked with a group during this project that did a fiscal analysis of a typical land development and an ag-based development, so that's a teaser for what I will show you a little bit later. But I think that this is something that the city is going to need work on to develop a mode for how that is fostered in terms of the codes and, then, trying to work with a couple of developers that would have interest in that. Next slide. And, then, the last one is a downtown conference center. Creating that space downtown, bringing people downtown, having entertainment options there, training facilities, meeting facilities, as well as theater and performing arts facilities all downtown and I'm stressing that downtown. Invest in your downtown for that, not out on the interstate. Next slide. So, we don't recommend that the city take the lead and do this on your own. The most successful ones I have seen are public-private partnerships. That would be the way to go. First item of business there would be to conduct a feasibility to identify what exactly is the space and demand and use needs before you start planning that. Next slide. So, let me get more into the strategies. Next slide, please. For the first ones Steven talked a lot about -- he said K through 12, but I know he meant K through 20 collaboration. This is, again, the catalyst projects of Venture Meridian Center, the innovation campus are part of this strategy. Next slide. I'm not going to go through all of those, just know that they are each within -- within each one of those, like 1-A, there is about ten different bullets of specific actions that -- that we are recommending need to happen. But, again, this is about developing an innovation system, cultivating entrepreneurship in your downtown through the -- the ag innovation center and elsewhere. Next slide. So, business expansion recommendations. This is a snapshot from the online business survey that we had and what's interesting when asked what should the main focus area for economic development in Meridian be, overwhelmingly keeping and expanding existing businesses was number one. Strengthening downtown was number two. Small business support was number three and, then, attracting business number four. So, I think those are very good. We had about 115 survey responses on that. Next slide. So, on business expansion, again, you know, the catalyst projects related to the innovation campus, Venture Meridian, and conference center, but you already do a great job with your business retention -expansion. I think, you know, Brenda and the Mayor doing that, I think it's been effective. I do think, though, you need to increase your resources for that. I think the business ready team that you have created has been great. I know you have been meeting with them a lot. I think the chamber needs to take the lead on this -- and this is our recommendation -- on the small business services support programs and the technical assistance and, then, also developing and implement a Made in Meridian campaign. Next slide. So, on through the development. Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 19 of 28 You know, I don't want to repeat too much of what Steven said, but I did mention to the Mayor yesterday during one of our meetings that I also got here -- I took a couple days of R&R and had a friend in Idaho and we got to tour. We went up to McCall and went to Burgdorff -- although we couldn't find -- we actually went for Crystal -- anyway, we went all the way over to the Sawtooth mountains, down to Sun Valley, down the Shoshone, and all the way through. So what's great about that is I really did experience how Meridian is the center for experiencing this region's tourism and you need to own that space. Geographically you're in a great place for it, but as Steven said, the first one out of the gate that really develops that and owns that, you're going to be successful with it. I think -- next slide, please. So, you know, I think first off, you know, a lot of it is about partnering with the chamber, developing a tourism strategy, implementing some of those catalyst projects. You know, you can see we have taken some liberties in -- looking at the scenic byways map and putting Meridian right in the middle. Highway 16 happens to be that connector between your -- between the scenic byways that you have right here. Next slide. Next slide, please. Okay. So, the next strategy, land use transportation and infrastructure. This is an interesting one. We put -- your Public Works director, I'm glad he's here. He will be happy to see the amount of detail that we put into this. So, this is really about integrating sustainable land use practices with transportation improvements and infrastructure investment. One of the things that's -- of course, you know, when we left Boise to come out here we left a little bit late. We probably should have left a little bit earlier and we were stuck in traffic and I said to Steven, well, you know what, maybe it might be a good thing we are late, we can -- it will underline our point about really focusing on the connectivity throughout the region and definitely within the city. One of the things that was really interesting for us was looking at your water reclamation program. The byproducts that are coming from that, the amount -- the ability for the city to provide free water in the Ten Mile area, that is an economic tool that needs to be better utilized. Next slide. As I mentioned, we did -- we worked with Anne Westcott and Idaho Smart Growth, who I believe had done some work here for -- she did a specific analysis of looking at a 500 acre ag-based development and a traditional development. All of that analysis is in the report and in the appendix. But you can see the differences and the net impact is, you know, the ag- based development project is more sustainable and fiscally better for the city and for the developers. Next slide. So, with that being said, you know, of course, in our recommendations we are recommending, you know, implementing the catalyst projects, but, then, also conduct a fiscal impact analysis to assess the whole city, to assess the implications of the current development pattern. We have worked in a lot of cities. Our hunch is that fiscally it is not sustainable, the kind of growth patterns that you're having. We recommend doing that fiscal analysis right up front. We also recommend looking at the capital improvements plan, basing it on some of that analysis. At a hearing to the city's ten year and, then, annual CIP and, then, establishing an approval permit and utility system that maintains to the city's Comprehensive Plan and capital improvement plan. The last thing, just under related findings, is that last little bullet. Our recommendation is don't worry about providing the utility infrastructure and beating your neighbor to the south and providing that utility infrastructure. Let it remain rural. Focus and be strategic with your utility infrastructure and put it where you really want to grow your community. Next slide. There are a lot more -- as I mentioned, Tom, you would be Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 20 of 28 happy, there is probably more recommendations in this than any of the other areas, but I really do think that marketing Meridian as green and sustainable, including your Fields initiatives, water recommendation, is a very good strategy for you from an economic development perspective. Really improve the connectivity on the bicycle and the other -- on transportation projects and, of course, regional rail and, then, complete that Highway 16 and, then, 20/26 improvements. Next slide. So, downtown. You know, downtown should be the heart of the city. I think it is. It used to be and I think the efforts of Meridian Development Corporation and the downtown business owners association, along with the city, have been great. Yesterday we had the pleasure, actually, and opportunity -- MDC asked us, just kind of on our dime, since we were going to be out here, to facilitate a discussion about what -- among the downtown economic development partners. So, yesterday here in City Hall we had probably about 35 people and several of the folks, including the Mayor and Council Member Zaremba were there as well, but -- so, of all the projects everybody went through and identified -- we asked them to write in on a piece of paper the top three projects and, then, we asked every one of them to tell us what those were and, then, they had those sticky dots and they scored them. So, it was -- it was pretty clear these five projects -- these top five projects of all of those economic development partners and they reached some consensus on that. Top one is downtown amenities. So, entertainment options. You know, brew pubs. More things for family. More things for -- what we call third places for millennials and others where they can go have a cup of coffee, et cetera. And, then, of course, a conference center. Housing diversity. And that is, you know, housing -- affordable housing, market rate housing, high end housing, apartments, condos, some for the 55 year olds and above, some for the millennials. And, then, transportation connectivity and, of course, redevelopment of UP land. Next slide. So, you can see the recommendations there. One -- and we definitely talked about this yesterday -- is MDC expanding its role in economic development. Not only just within the downtown, but we are recommending that, you know, they have by -- by authority with the state to be able to expand their existing boundaries by ten percent. They should do that. And, then, also they do have the ability to develop new urban renewal areas and we recommend that just as Twin Falls has done that and become very successful, Meridian do the same thing and Meridian Development Corporation do the same thing. I want to just mention on the bottom there. This is what a lot of people were actually looking at yesterday, the mixed use kind of development, ground floor commercial, a couple of levels of residential. I happen to be developing this project in Austin. This building, plus two others side by side. It's about a 12 million dollar project. It's called the Chicon. In an area that used to be, you know, the heart of darkness, really, it was a bad area. But all of that, building 43 units, 9,000 square feet of commercial space. Of the 43 units 33 are affordable to those making 80 percent of median family income and, then, the rest are market rate. It's going to be very successful. What we did is we identified what the demographic demand is and we definitely found the millennials and the 55 and over, those are the two biggest demographics. I will guarantee you that is the case here as well. Next slide. And, then, the last strategy it is quality of place. Promoting that quality of place through arts, entertainment options, way finding and signage, streetscape improvements. You know, I'm very impressed with the historical tour that MDC just put together with the logos on the ground and the walking program, I think that's great. Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 21 of 28 Next slide. So, you can see from our recommendations -- definitely feel like you need to implement an art in public places project. You have seen to the right there all over downtown Boise, you know, you had a great example of that right in your downtown where that giant silver box is that houses the filtration system, paint it. Make it pretty. Do something with that. De Weerd: We are doing a mural. Garretson: Excellent. Good. So, you can see some of the other recommendations -- and I'm not going to move into those. Next slide, please. So, at the end of the strategy we have an implementation table for that -- we are going to help the city and all of its partners. We have put all the major recommendations in there. When? We are recommending that those start and stop, etcetera. Next slide. And, then, the next steps. You know, you kind of are at that intersection of planning and implementation right now. You know, the next steps are adopting the Fields strategy and the economic development strategy. Aggressively pursuing implementation. Don't let this sit on the shelf. As the Mayor said, you have a lot of buy -in right now, people that are ready to kind of get this going. They already are moving forward on a lot of initiatives as well. For example, Venture Meridian, I know that the city has been working very aggressively behind the scenes to move that forward. Establish, you know, an organizational leadership framework or frameworks -- for example, with the innovation -- excuse me -- the ag innovation center. There is a lot of organizations, they are -- all of which -- all of them are ready to participate, but there needs to be an organizational framework and business plan set up for that. Engage all your city departments. That's one of the big recommendations. We put a lot of detail in there about having some presentations, educating all the city departments and their heads about their potential role in this economic development effort. Again, MDC becoming more aggressive in its economic development role, as well as understanding other -- the Chamber of Commerce and other partners. Integrate the fiscal analysis CIP. Develop detailed business plans where appropriate. And, of course, increase your resources for economic development. I know you have a gentleman from BVEP this evening to talk about a project I think and I'm very familiar with the state incentive program. That's a very good example of what I'm talking about in terms of increasing those resources. You know, in the name of economic development there is an adage of you got to pay to play and you have a good opportunity in front of you, so I'm curious to see how you move forward on that. Next slide. That is it. You can move to the next slide. And if you have any questions we would be happy to answer. De Weerd: You did that in record time, Sean. That's a lot of information. Council, any questions? Bird: I have none. Milam: Great. Rountree: I'm sure I have some, but I haven't had enough time to digest it. Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 22 of 28 Bird: Digest it Spaulding: Well, we were pleased that we were able to have multiple passes with you and a chance to get acquainted a little bit and peal back the layers of the onion and you will still have that with the written documents that we can address questions by e-mail and on the web, you know, to get to the heart of the matter. Rountree: Very good. Garretson: And I will say also that, you know, as we said to Bruce, we are committed -- you know, our contract is pretty much done after this evening, but we are committed to continue to make, you know, minor edits, et cetera, should you -- once you have an opportunity to kind of review and I know Tom as well, so thank you very much. Oh. Sorry. Chatterton: Mayor and Council Members, a couple points. As far as the energy behind this, we had aspects that says -- as Sean mentioned -- to come up with really not so much time a branding for this effort, but a name, a moniker, and that's what we have. We have a number of folks in the room tonight that are also going to be meeting at 7:30 tomorrow morning over at -- is it Heritage building? Heritage Insurance Building. To talk about -- De Weerd: What next. Chatterton: -- the ready team and also the recommendations as well and so you will be putting some structure and movement. Sean talked about the collaboration between the chamber, between the business community at large, between folks like the city. BVEP. The Department of Commerce. We really want -- we are very serious about that. So, trying to promote this energy. One of the things that's not cued up tonight -- oh, and I should also mention that Scott Oliver with Idaho Smart Growth is here. The model and Anne Westcott's services were provided through the auspices of Idaho Smart Growth and we also want to -- when Sean was talking about the long-term sustainability of our land use pattern, we wanted to be able to take a wider look at the entire city and see, really, the path that we are on, make adjustments as necessary to become fiscally sustainable if we are not, indeed, sustainable right now. So, all that's to say that we want this to have energy and to make some real lasting changes in the community around this and I think that Steven said several times during this process that a plan really is a series of conversations, so we need to keep the conversations going and have actions around those conversations as well. We had prepared -- actually, Pegasus had prepared a draft resolution, so that you could, if you wish, actually adopt the findings, so the Fields District and the economic strategy we -- that's not cued up for this meeting, but if it's your pleasure we can bring that back and have discussion around -- around that resolution. The idea of giving it the blessing and the resources of the city, but I think it also acknowledges all the efforts of the various stakeholders, some of who are here tonight. Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 23 of 28 De Weerd: I think that would be perfect and I would -- I know we do have a group meeting tomorrow morning at 7:30 -- after my birthday is not really my idea of great timing, but I would like to maybe when we put that on the agenda for resolution to adopt the study that we have this group kind of give an overview of what the ownership is and what the rolls and responsibility will be of each of the stakeholders. Because, really, what we envisioned is this would be a community -- a community -owned report and effort, because all of us play a role in it, which has been so nicely laid out in that report. So, I'm excited to see that. I was very excited to see that there is an emphasis and certainly in the survey that you did on that priority of keeping our existing businesses in the forefront. Certainly we want to see our primary employers thrive, because their vitality -- you know where rising tides float all boats, they are going to support the other -- the other business community, achieving realistic opportunities and building on our CORE competencies and looking at how to grow our own, but also attract others, because of the CORE competencies that we have in place, instead of recreating something that -- that is not who we are, understanding and defining who we are and exactly what direction that we want to go and certainly, as you stated, growing our talents, continuing to focus on the quality of place and being able to communicate that quality of place and what it means in business attraction, business retention, and how it benefits the entire community as a whole, is very exciting and, finally, putting strategies behind fostering innovation and seeing how we can capture the talent, instead of losing that talent, but capture the talent and see it grow, that economic -- or that organic, economic gardening type of thing. So, your work has been very exciting. It's great to see the -- again, the energy that you have created, the excitement that you have stirred within our community and a lot of the key players are sitting out in the audience behind you ready to pick up where you just left off and I think we are going to start seeing some great wins and we appreciate the impetus, the fuel that you have given to launch this effort. Garretson: Well, I just -- on behalf of our consulting team I want to thank all of you, as well as everybody else who has provided us a lot of resources and we put a lot of demands on your time and their time and staff time, so thank you very much. Bird: Thank you. De Weerd: Thank you. B. Public Works: Public Works Week Update De Weerd: Okay. Well, Item 8-B is under our Public Works Department. We will get an overview and an update of Public Works Week. Barry: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. It's my pleasure to share with you tonight an update from the Public Works Week celebration that we just really had a couple weeks back. As you know this is our sixth annual Public Works Week celebration. What better way to show you what happened than through a video. So, we Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 24 of 28 are just going to -- put a short little video slide show together, it's about five minutes or so, and hope that you enjoy it and it covers most of the activities that were covered through the week, so -- (Video played.) Barry: Thank you. That's just a quick slide show of some of the events that we held. As you know we had the proclamation Tuesday of that week, then, we had the expo. We also held a Go With The Flow tour and we had a golf scramble and, then, finally, the poop scoot. So, it's a really great week for us. The events continue to grow in size and interest. We continue to reach out to more and more people. We have estimated this year that we have reached out to about 1,100 to 1,200 folks in total for the whole week, which is great for us. I wanted to give you a couple other statistics here. About 80 organizations contributed either money or prizes or in kind assistance. Eighty different organizations, which is phenomenal. We had 21 major sponsors donate each over 200 dollars to this event and these activities, of course, ran from June 3rd to June the 7th. This activity -- or week I should say of activities is really not possible without the men and women of my department who work tirelessly to put this event on and I wanted to recognize them now if you don't mind. Give me a few minutes. Certainly Kyle Radek, who is with us tonight, he has been our committee chair almost since the inception of Public Works Week started six years ago and he has been a passionate advocate for the activities and the events and continues to encourage and motivate the staff to think of new things. It was his idea to bring the hydro car to the expo this year and have the kids learn about pressure and water, hydraulics, and go through some engineering analysis there, which was really great and he's been our committee chair for -- for the last several years and this event or series of events would not be possible without his leadership. Also Austin Petersen was our expo chair. David Allison helped us run the expo. Mollie Mangerich was our tour chair. Matt Hoffman also helped on the tour. Deana Smith was our Poop Scoot Fund Run chair. Alex Frietag also helped on the poop scoot. And, then, Joe Meusch was our golf chair, along with Dave Miles and Randy Elliott, who helped with golf. Susie Deardorff was our marketing chair. Diana Russell did the majority of the marketing for the week's activities. And, then, finally Brent Bjornson from the development services team helped coordinate the bird houses and Home Depot, which has been, obviously, a great success for the past couple years and we get great feedback from them as well. A couple other interesting perspectives or points that I'd like to also convey to you, but I think for those I will have Kyle come up and if you wouldn't mind give us a couple more fun facts about the week's events and, then, we'd like to present the proceeds of our week's worth of activities and sponsorship funds to the Meridian Food Bank, who are also with us tonight. Radek: Thanks, Tom. Yeah. Just a -- I think it was on the slides that were up, but we -- we think maybe 800 to 900 people attended the expo infrastructure tour. We had 52 people on the bus. We had 23 teams fill up the golf course for our golf scramble, significant generator of -- of funds for the food bank. And also a great marketing opportunity. The big news, really, is that I didn't win the Poop Scoot Fun Run this year, Austin Petersen won it. Of course he's got like 20 years on me, so if you actually Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 25 of 28 handicapped it I probably really beat him, but -- we had 21 major sponsors -- actually also 410 pounds of food were collected for our entry fees for the fun run as well. So, all in all a pretty successful week of outreach to our community, our customers, our citizens, so I keep thinking we are going to plateau at some point, but it seems to be getting a little bit bigger every year, so it was -- it was another good week to learn about Public Works. So, we want to present a check to the food bank today and so Tom is going to come say a few words about the food bank and, then, we will do that. Barry: Thanks, Kyle. Dan, would mind coming on up and joining us. Thank you, sir. Dan Clark is the -- well, essentially, the chairman and executive director of the food bank for the Meridian Food Bank and, you know, we partnered really with the food bank for a number of years on this series of activities and are proud to support them. They do a phenomenal job in our community supporting those in need in our community. The food bank was founded in 1996 and it's an all volunteer organization, there are no paid personnel at the food bank, which I found interesting. Over a hundred volunteers make the food bank run on a daily basis. They currently serve 21 cities throughout the Treasure Valley with regard to the food pantry, with 76 percent of those clients being within Meridian and adjoining Boise. Eighty-five percent of the clients that they serve are low to very low income levels. Last year they served almost a million pounds of food that was distributed in the food bank, which was astonishing and about 63, 64 thousand people are touched by the Meridian Food Bank at least in 2013. So, it's with our pleasure to present to you a donation of 5,000 dollars on behalf of the representatives, the City of Meridian, and most importantly our sponsors -- and that's not the real check, we will have the real one to you here in just a little bit. And we are firming up our finances, so there might be just a little bit more coming, but we are very pleased -- De Weerd: Tom, you need to speak into the microphone. Barry: I thought I was already fairly vocal. Anyway -- so, I will repeat all of that De Weerd: No, that's all right. Barry: In any event, we did want to thank you for all that you do in the community and let you know how much we support and value your services and it's our pleasure on behalf of the men and women of the Public Works Department -- I'm sure I speak for the City Council and Mayor when we say just how fortunate we are to have you and the dedicated volunteers of the Meridian Food Bank giving so much to our community, so thank you very much. Thank you again. Do you have a few words or -- Clark: I just -- this is just an awesome thing. I love it and I really appreciate what you guys do to support us. I mean you have been behind us for these many years and I really appreciate that. The timing on this is perfect. We have -- this time of year we start to get slight in money and slight in food and so we start looking for ways to gain and this does help a lot. A couple pallets of milk right here. Good deal. Meridian City Council July 1, 2014 Page 26 of 28 De Weerd: God does provide; right? Clark: God does provide. That's right. So, this is awesome. I really thank all of you for just your support and I thank you for -- this has been great. I really appreciate this. Thank you. Barry: Lastly, I would just like to thank the sponsors and there are so many of them to thank, but I think just in general to say if it wasn't for the sponsors of the activities that we provide we would not be able to do this particular series of events. It's been phenomenal to see the support from all over the community, not just for the food bank, but for also promoting and supporting Public Works Week. So, we are just very very pleased and, again, we appreciate your support and the opportunities you provide us each and every day in our work and just want to thank you for that and I will stand for any questions you might have. De Weerd: Tom, that's awesome. Good job. Thank you, Kyle, being chair again Barry: Thank you. De Weerd: Thank you. Outstanding. Item 9: Ordinances A.

Ustick Road at the NEC of N. Linder & W. Ustick Roads. Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation: MU -C (Mixed Use — Community) Summary of Request: The applicant requests annexation & zoning of 5.04 acres of land with a C -C zoning district consistent with the MU -C future land use map designation for this site. A short plat is also proposed consisting of 4 building lots on 3.99 acres. A conceptual development plan is proposed that depicts a 3,600 s.f. gas station, a 12,500 s.f. retail/commercial multi -tenant building and a 5,000 s.f. bank with a drive-thru. Because the drive-thru is depicted at the east boundary of the site adjacent to property that is designated for residential use, staff recommends the concept plan is revised to relocate the drive-thru intemally within the site. Access is depicted on the concept plan via Linder & Ustick Roads with cross -access to the north. Staff recommends a right-in/right-out access via Linder & access to Ustick to be determined by ACHD. ACHD's draft report restricts access to Linder to right-in/right-out & access to Ustick as a temporary full access that will be restricted in the future to right-in/right-out. No additional street improvements or ROW dedication is required for Ustick or Linder Roads.

LAND USE A. Existing Land Use(s) and Zoning: Commercial sand and gravel mining and crushing has been operating on this property up until April 4, 2014. Since that time, the applicant has been hauling processed material from the site. The property is zoned R-2, R-4 and R-8. B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: North: Overland Road & vacant land in the development process, zoned R-4, R-8, TN -R. South: Rural residential properties in Val Vista & Aspen Cove Subdivisions, zoned RUT and R respectively, in Ada County East: Vacant land, zoned R-4 & R-8 West: Rural residential properties, zoned RUT in Ada County; S. Ten Mile Road and vacant land in the development process, zoned R-8 C. History of Previous Actions & Background Information: • This property was annexed (AZ -06-031) in 2007 with a development agreement (Instrument #107074205) and preliminary platted (PP -06-031) as part of Southridge Subdivision. • A time extension (TE -09-009) to obtain the City Engineer's signature on a final plat was approved by the Director on February 20, 2009, which extended the preliminary plat until April 6, 2010. • A second time extension (TE -10-018) to obtain the City Engineer's signature on a final plat was approved by City Council on September 7, 2010, which extended the preliminary plat until February 6, 2012. The first final plat received City Engineer signature on December 22, 2011. In order for the preliminary plat to remain valid, the second phase final plat was required to be signed by the City Engineer within 2 years. The second phase final plat nor a time extension was submitted- therefore, the prelinsinary plat expired on December 22, 2013. • A conditional use permit (CUP -10-015) was approved on February 3, 2011 for construction sand and gravel mining and crushing of material on approximately 76 acres of land in the R- 2, R-4, and R-8 zoning districts. The purpose of the use was to conduct mass grading of the Southridge Gravel Mining MCU -14-001 PAGE 3 EXHIBIT A property to achieve a gentler overall landform to facilitate the planned residential subdivision. The use was approved for 18 months and expired on August 3, 2012. The applicant originally requested a time period of three (3) years in which to complete the grading, crushing and removal of material necessary to prepare the site for the approved residential development and reclaim the site. Because of the proximity of residential properties in relation to the project site and impacts from the proposed use, the Commission approved a lesser period of 18 months with the understanding that a modification to the CUP could be requested to extend the time if needed. • A modification to the conditional use permit (MCU -11-001) was requested by the applicant to allow the use of backup warning signals on construction vehicles within the site. The Director denied the applicant's request on April 27, 2011. A request for City Council review (AP -11-001) of the Director's decision was approved by City Council on June 7, 2011 that granted approval to use audible backup warning signals on construction vehicles within the site with the stipulation that the devices be turned to the lowest level allowed by OSHA. Additionally, the applicant was required to make reasonable efforts to reduce noise impacts on surrounding residents by providing a buffer of solid material (e.g. earthen berm) between the residences and the operation and/or orienting operations in such a way as to deflect noise away from the residences. • On July 23, 2012, a request for a modification to the CUP (MCU -12-003) was submitted for an 18 month time extension of the sand and gravel mining and crushing use. Because no one testified at the public hearing or submitted written testimony in opposition, the Commission approved the request to allow the operation to continue for an additional 18 months until April 4, 2014. At such time, the site was required to be graded per the reclamation plan; or, a modification to the CUP was allowed to be requested to extend the use. No one filed a requestfor City Council review of the Commission's decision. During the three years of the ruining and crushing operation on this site, the City has received a few complaints from adjacent neighbors pertaining mostly to dust and noise resulting from the operation. To address these concerns, the applicant has paved the main haul road (800+1 -feet) into and out of the site and has a water truck that they state regularly circles the site to control the dust; vegetated berms have been constructed along -portions of the southern boundary of the site; a paper mulch product has been applied over Hutch of the site to the surface of exposed dirt areas in an attempt to prevent dust, the volume of the back-up beepers on construction equipment has been turned down to the lowest level allowed by OSHA; and the applicant has oriented crushing and loading operations so that the stockpile of material serves as a barrier between those operations and the neighbors to deflect noise and dust from the site.

Southridge Gravel Mining MCU -14-001 PAGE 4 W4 : :1 3. Flood Plain: This property is not within a flood plain or flood way. F. Access: Access for this site is depicted on the site plan in Exhibit A.2 via an existing curb cut to/from W. Overland Road. VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS This site is designated "Low Density Residential (LDR)," "Medium Density Residential (MDR)," and "Civic" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map with the majority of the site being designated MDR. Per the Comprehensive Plan (page 99), LDR designated areas, "allow for the development of single- family homes on large lots where urban services are provided. Uses may include single-family homes at densities of three dwelling units or less per acre." MDR designated areas, "allow smaller lots for residential purposes within city limits. Uses may include single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units per acre." Civic areas, "are designated to preserve and protect existing and planned, municipal, state, and federal lands for area residents and visitors. This category includes, public lands, law enforcement facilities, post offices, fire stations, cemeteries, public utility sites (excluding ACED), parks, public schools, and other government owned sites within the Area of Impact." This site is zoned R-2, R-4, and R-8 which is consistent with the LDR, MDR, and Civic land use designations. The proposed construction sand and gravel mining use is listed in UDC Table 11-2A-2 as a conditional use. Single-family residential homes are planned to ultimately be constructed on this site. When the Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2002, the type of use proposed was not anticipated and therefore not included in the Plan. Additionally, the proposed use is an interim use and not the approved end use for the property. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policy to be applicable to this property and apply to the proposed use (staff analysis in italics): • "Minimize noise, odor, air pollution, and visual pollution in industrial and commercial development adjacent to residential areas." (3.06.01 B) The applicant is required to minimize air and noise pollution as much as possible by the means specified in Exhibit B of this report. • "Protect public health by reducing ozone, fine particulate matter and other greenhouse gases and toxics in the air." (5.03.01) The applicant is responsible to water the site and apply mulch to contain material on the site as often as necessary to reduce the amount offine particulate matter from traveling through the air to adjacent residential properties. • "Require industrial development to conform to Federal and State air, water, and noise pollution standards, and local landscaping, traffic, noise, and environment standards." (3.06.01D) The applicant is required to comply with all Federal and State standards applicable to the proposed use. VHL UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC) A. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the residential districts is to provide for a range of housing opportunities consistent with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Connection to the City Southridge Gravel Mining MCU -14-001 PAGE 5 EXHIBIT A of Meridian water and sewer systems is a requirement for all residential districts. Residential districts are distinguished by the allowable density of dwelling units per acre and corresponding housing types that can be accommodated within the density range. The subjectproperty is located in the R-2, R-4, and R-8 zoning districts and is planned to ultimately develop with single-family residences. B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) 11-2A-2 lists the principal permitted, accessory, conditional, and prohibited uses in the R-2, R-4, and R-8 zoning districts. The proposed construction sand and gravel mining use is listed as a conditional use in all of the aforementioned districts; crushing of material is prohibited. C. Dimensional Standards: The dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11 -2A -4,11-2A-5, and 11-2A-6 for the R-2, R-4, and R-8 zoning districts apply to development of this site. D. Landscaping Standards (UDC 11-313): NA E. Off -Street Parking: NA IX. ANALYSIS A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT MODIFICATION (MCU) Request: The applicant has submitted a request to modify the existing conditional use permit (MCU -12-003) by extending the period of time in which they can operate the previously approved use for an additional 18 months; 60 days of which would be used to extract/mine the remaining approximate 10% of material from the ground and crush that material. Within this time period, the existing 200,000+/- tons (or 110,000+/- cubic yards) of already processed material and additional processed material proposed to be mined will be hauled off as the market demands and the site will be reclaimed in accord with the approved grading and reclamation plan. The final grading of the site would be complete by the end of the 18 month period and the site would be ready for residential development. The 60 days requested to excavate/mine and crush the remaining material could commence upon approval of the subject MCU or during the winter or spring months when the soil is damp so as to create less dust. Either way, the 60 days would be consecutive once commenced. The applicant further requests that if the City does not allow the crushing of material on the site that they still be allowed to excavate/mine the remaining material from the ground and have it crushed elsewhere off the site. The applicant does not propose any other changes to the previous conditions of approval. Staff has carefully reviewed the applicant's request and, based on the facts and analysis described in more detail below, does not support several of the applicant's requested provisions. Mining Defined: The previous and proposed use of the site is classified in Idaho State Code (§47-1503) as a "surface mining operation" and is defined as follows, "the activities performed on a surface mine in the extraction of minerals from the ground, including the excavating of pits, removal of minerals, disposal of overburden, and the construction of haulage roads, exclusive of exploration operations ... " The UDC (I 1-1A-1) defines "construction sand and gravel mining" as follows, "The use of a site for one or more of the following activities: a) operating commercial grade (i.e. construction) sand and gravel pits; b) dredging for commercial grade sand and gravel; and Southridge Gravel Mining MCU -14-001 PAGE 6 EXHIBIT A c) washing, screening, or otherwise preparing commercial grade sand and gravel (excluding crushing operations)." For clarification and further definition of what operating a commercial grade sand and gravel pit/surface mining operation includes, the following activities will also be addressed in this report: • extracting/digging/removing material from the ground with the intent to process said material into a saleable product and/or; • the existence of a portable scale, scale house/office and/or other temporary structure(s), conveyors, screens, crushing equipment, etc. on the site; • weighing material to be hauled from the site; • sale of material on/froln the site; • hauling of processed/mined material from the site; and, • grading of the pit(s), ridge(s), road(s), etc. resulting from the mining operation and reclamation of the site after mining has been completed. Note: Although the City does deem hauling off ofprocessed material to be part of the mining use, it was allowed to continue after the expiration of MCU -11-001 solely as a means to an end— the material needs to be removed from the site. Staff did not believe a delay during the interim of the request for on extension and decision on the matter would be in the best interest of the City, the neighbors/public, or the applicant. Issues and Analysis: • There are massive stockpiles of processed/crushed material on the site that need to be hauled off as part of the mining operation before reclamation (grading and slope stabilization) of the site can occur. Because this processed material is a product of the mining operation and not merely excess native unprocessed material needing to be removed to achieve a grade level acceptable for development, staff determines the hauling off of the material is part of operating a construction sand and gravel mine and therefore, requires a CUP. • There is considerable grading and reclamation work that needs to be completed on the site by the applicant in order to prepare the site for a residential development. Staff determines this work is directly associated with and resulting frons the mining activity/process on the site and therefore, requires a CUP. • Because the mining use on this site has been and is still proposes to be "market driven," it is taking longer to conclude than would be typical for an operation that simply mines the site, reclaims it and leaves. Because this use is directly adjacent to a residential development rather than an industrial or rural area, the ongoing use may be detritnental to the neighbors. Staff believes the additional 18 months requested by the applicant in which to conclude operations is excessive as operations have already been occurring for 3 years and were anticipated to conclude within that time period- if not market driven, the operation would most likely be complete. • There have been allegations from neighbors of airborne material blowing onto their properties from the site that contain a high amount of silica (87%, based on a private analysis). The neighbors are vety concerned about potential health impacts from this material generated from the mine. While the City is not a regulating authority on air Soulhridge Gravel Mining MCU -I4-001 PAGE 7 EXHIBIT A quality, the City is concerned for the health of the public and any such potential adverse impacts from the proposed use. If the MCU request is denied, the site will be left with a huge amount of processed material and uneven land with pits and ridges and haul roads that will still need to be dealt with in the future in order to develop the site. Staff does not believe ceasing all operations at this would be in the best interest of the City, neighbors, or applicant; it would only delay the inevitable of grading and hauling off of previously process materials. If the MCU application is approved as requested by the applicant, the impact on the neighbors will continue for another 18 months. The applicant originally requested a 3 year period of time in which to mine and reclaim the site; that time is up and the neighbors have been relatively cooperative up until this point believing that it would be over at the end of the 3 years. Staff does not believe approving the MCU with all of the terms requested by the applicant is in the best interest of the City, adjacent residents or the general public. Public Testimony/Impacts: As of April l Os', 34 letters of testimony along with a petition has been submitted to the City. All of the testimony is in opposition of the continuation of the mining use on the site based on what they deem to be excessive noise, dust, truck traffic, visual blight of the site from their properties, perceived decline in property values, and health concerns based on the air quality generated by the mining operation. However, most letters seem to recognize that the existing stockpile of material needs to be removed and the site needs to be reclaimed in order for the mining operation to conclude. Therefore, they're willing to support a modification to the CUP based on the following conditions: 1. No more crushing; 2. Immediate reclamation of all portions of the site except where the stockpile is located; 3. Move the scale house to the north side of the stockpile to minimize dust and noise; 4. Treat stockpiles with magnesium chloride to alleviate dust; water other areas as necessary; 5. Load and haul from the north side of the stockpile leaving the south side as a buffer against noise and dust until the very end; 6. No more extraction of material from the site; 7. That the applicant be responsive to and monitor silica within the adjacent subdivisions and not just the pit; 8. Reclaim the remaining area and vacate the site; 9. Accomplish this within a reasonable time frame (general consensus is 4 months but the minimum time physically possible); 10. Ramifications and Idaho Sand and Gravel signature on an agreement. Governing Agencies for Mining: Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA): MSHA is a division of the U.S. Department of Labor which administers the provisions if the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 to enforce compliance with mandatory safety and health standards as a means to eliminate fatal accidents to reduce the frequency and severity of nonfatal accidents, to Southridge Gravel Mining MCU -14-001 PAGE 8 EXHIBIT A minimize health hazards, and to promote improved safety and health conditions in the nation's mines. MSHA carries out the mandates of the Mine Act at all mining and mineral processing operations in the United States, regardless of size, number of employees, commodity mined, or method of extraction. MSHA has jurisdiction over mines when material is being excavated from the ground and/or when portable crushing equipment is being used. Permits for mines are handled under local and/or state jurisdiction. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ): The DEQ is the department of the Idaho state government responsible for administration of state and federal environmental laws and regulations, including those related to air and water quality. The DEQ issues a "permit by rule" for mobile crushers and related equipment which does not expire. Staff confirmed with Dave Luft, Air Quality Manager at DEQ, that the subcontractor in charge of crushing operations on the site, H &B Crushing, does have the necessary permit for the crushing equipment that has been previously used on the site. On March 21, 2014, a DEQ inspector conducted a complaint based investigation at the gravel pit. At the time of the investigation, operations on the site were deemed to be in compliance with permit requirements and a records review was not conducted. It was determined that DEQ did not have significant concerns regarding the dust impacts on air quality or water quality in the Ridenbaugh Canal. DEQ has visited the site several times since the original complaint and hasn't observed any significant air quality issues. Crushing equipment is typically inspected while in operation every 5 years; no inspections of the equipment had been conducted on this site prior to March 21". State air quality rules require the implementation of reasonable precautions to prevent fugitive dust from leaving property boundaries under normal atmospheric conditions. The Hiles do not require the elimination of all fugitive dust but that reasonable steps are taken to prevent its occurrence such as, watering of haul roads and stockpiles, paving or oiling of haul roads, sweeping up track -out, etc. The inspector determined that the applicant is taking reasonable precautions to prevent fugitive dust emissions from leaving the facility. They were in compliance with the DEQ issued air quality permit operating opacity (amount of site that is obscured by dust) requirements, as well as the state's fugitive dust rules. No permits are required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the operation of gravel pits. Bureau of Reclamation: The Bureau of Reclamation is a federal agency under the U.S. Department of the Interior, which oversees water resource management. The Idaho Surface Mining Act (§47-1506) requires the operator of a surface mine to obtain an approved reclamation plan and bond. The Bureau of Reclamation is holding a surety bond in the amount of $17,221.88 and a reclamation plan (50602904). Additional Information: Biological Evaluation: The applicant submitted a Biological Evaluation prepared by Axiom - Points, LLC, dated May of 2010. The evaluation was prepared to identify and analyze the potential effect to endangered species and special status species as identified by Idaho Fish and Game (IFG) within the project area. Based on reports from 1FG and the U.S. Department of the Interior, Idaho Fish and Wildlife Office, no endangered or special status species were believed to be in the project area; therefore, the evaluation found there would be no effect to endangered or sensitive species. The full report is included in the public record. Southridge Gravel Mining MCU -14-001 PAGE 9 EXHIBIT A Williams Pipeline: The Williams Pipeline crosses the southwest corner of the site as shown on the site plan in Exhibit A.2. No material is proposed to be or has been approved to be removed from within the pipeline easement or on the west side of the easement. Comments have been received on this application from Gordon Hamilton on behalf of the Williams Pipeline. Staff has included a condition in Exhibit B based on his comments (see #1.1.13). Hours of Operation: The previous approved hours of operation on the site for mass grading, gravel extraction, rock crushing, loading and hauling were limited to weekdays (Monday thru Friday) between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The Commission approved extended hours of operation solely for the removal of material from the site on non -holiday weekdays (Monday thru Friday) between the hours of 6 am and 6 pm. The applicant has requested to continue fill -scale sand and gravel raining on the site. Staff does not support the intensity of the operation as proposed. Staff recommends a compromise of saris that would allow a more limited paining operation to continue with a focus on reclaiming the site per the approved grading and reclamation plan and removing the existing stockpiles within a 6 month time period. Further excavation/processing of material from the ground would not be allowed, except for the removal of native unprocessed material necessary to achieve the grade on the approved grading plan. Staff Recommendation: Based on the above -noted issues, analysis, public testimony submitted by adjacent neighbors, and the Findings listed in Exhibit C, staff recommends approval of a modified version of the applicant's request per the conditions included in Exhibit B. Staff believes approving the request under these conditions is in the best interest of the City and neighbors and will ultimately benefit the applicant more than a decision of denial. X. EXHIBITS A.

Southridge Gravel Mining MCU -14-001 PAGE 16 EXHIBIT A C. Required Findings from Unified Development Code (UDC) 1. Conditional Use Permit (UDC 11-513-6E) The Commission shall base its determination on the Conditional Use Permit request upon the following: a. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and meet all the dimensional and development regulations in the district in which the use is located. The City Council finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the proposed use; there is no development proposed, therefore, compliance with dimensional and development regulations are not applicable (see Analysis Section Dt for more information). b. That the proposed use will be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accord with the requirements of this Title. Due to the nature of the proposed use, the City Council finds it will lower the grade level and ultimately prepare the site for future residential development, which is harmonious with the Comprehensive Plan. c. That the design, construction, operation and maintenance will be compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential character of the same area. Because of the site's proximity to regional transportation infrastructure and public and private projects, the material mined from this site has been used in many construction projects within the City and general area and the use has been compatible with these uses. However, the intended character of the site and nearby area is residential. The mining use of the property, although an interim use, has adversely affected the residential character of the area due to dust, noise and visual blight from/of the site. Therefore, the City Council finds the proposed use is not compatible with existing residential uses in the general vicinity of the site. The City Council approves of the MCU only to extend the time period in which they can reclaim the site and conclude the mining operation. d. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity. The City Council finds that if the applicant complies with the conditions outlined in this report, the proposed use should not significantly adversely affect other properties in the area. e. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, schools, parks, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, and sewer. The City Council finds the proposed use will be adequately served by essential public facilities. The mass grading and material transport aspects of the project have limited public facility needs, mainly consisting of access to public streets; the site has direct access to W. Overland Road. Southridge Gravel Mining MCU -14-001 PAGE 17 EXHIBIT A f. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional costs for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. If approved, the applicant will be financing any costs associated with the proposed use. The City Council finds there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare. g. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. The City Council recognizes there may be activities associated with the proposed use (as restricted by staff) such as production of traffic and noise that may impact persons, property or the general welfare. Based on the restrictions of the subject approval, the City Council finds these impacts should not be excessive. h. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance. The City Council is unaware of any natural, scenic or historic features on the site of major importance. Therefore, the City Council finds the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of such features. i. That the duration and intensity of the proposed mining activities are appropriately addressed in the conditions of approval. The City Council finds the conditions of approval contained in Exhibit B of this report limit the term of the proposed use to an additional six (6) months and address the intensity and terns of such use. j. That the environmental impacts of the proposed mining activities are appropriately addressed in the conditions of approval, including but not limited to dust, groundwater safety, stormwater runoff, slope stability, and preservation of natural resources. The City Council included conditions of approval with the original CUP requiring the applicant to submit documentation from applicable agencies that the proposed use is in compliance with all federal and state regulations in regard to air and water quality and site reclamation, which the applicant has done. k. That the noise impacts and hours of operation of the proposed mining activities are appropriately addressed in the conditions of approval; and The City Council finds the conditions of approval in Exhibit B include restricted hours of operation and restrictions on the type of operations that may occur on the site that should reduce noise impacts. 1. That timing and responsible party of implementing approved reclamation plans are appropriately addressed in the conditions of approval. The City Council finds the conditions of approval in Exhibit B address a timeframe in which the site must be reclaimed and tic reclamation to a previously approved grading and reclamation plan.

Existing Land Use(s) and Zoning: This site consists of rural residential properties, zoned R4. B. Character of Surrounding Area and Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: 1. North: Rural and urban (Kentucky Ridge Estates) residential properties, zoned RUT in Ada County and R-4 2. East: Residential properties (Meridian Heights), zoned R-4 3. South: Agricultural property, zoned RUT in Ada County 4. West: Rural residential/agricultural property, zoned RUT in Ada County C. History of Previous Actions: This property was recently annexed with the Victory South application (AZ -13-014, Ordinance No. 14-1594). D. Utilities: 1. Location of sewer: A sanitary sewer main intended to provide service to the subject property is currently under construction through the Hansen property between Meridian Heights and Kentucky Ridge Subdivisions. 2. Location of water: Domestic Water service to the majority of the subject property does not currently exist, and is dependent on the establishment of Pressure Zone #5. This new Pressure Zone will provide service to lands above an approximate elevation of 2700 feet. 3. Issues or concerns: Domestic Water service to the majority of the subject property does not currently exist, and is dependent on the establishment of Pressure Zone #5. This new Pressure Zone will provide service to lands above an approximate elevation of 2700 feet. To establish Pressure Zone #5, two new water sources will be needed, one of which must be a municipal well source, and the other can be from interconnecting pipes to other Pressure Zone #5 piping. The Public Works Department is in the early stages of planning a FY 2016 Biltmore Sub PP -14-004 PAGE 3 EXHIBIT A Capital Improvement Project to construct a pipeline from the existing Pressure Zone #5 west to the vicinity of this development. This developer will be responsible to plan for a connection to this pipeline. Due to the elevation and pressure zone issues, the northeast portion of this proposed preliminary plat is the only area that will be able to be developed without the establishment of Pressure Zone #5. Detailed water modeling analysis will be required of final plat phases in this area to determine how much can be served by the existing Pressure Zone #4. The balance of the proposed development will not be able to be developed until such time that Pressure Zone #5 is established as stated above. E. Physical Features: 1. Canals/Ditches Irrigation: The Sundall Lateral runs off-site along the west boundary of the site; other ditches run north/south and along the northwest portions of the site. 2. Hazards: Staff is not aware of any hazards that exist on this property. 4. Flood Plain: This site does not lie within the Meridian Floodplain Overlay District. VII. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS The subject property is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) (16+/ -acres) and Medium Density Residential (MDR) (40+/- acres) on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) contained in the Comprehensive Plan. The LDR designation allows for the development of single-family homes on large lots where urban services are provided. Uses may include single-family homes at gross densities of three dwelling units or less per acre. The MDR designation allows smaller lots for residential purposes within City limits. Uses may include single-family homes at densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The site is currently zoned R-4 which allows a maximum gross density of 4 dwelling units per acre. The proposed plat depicts an overall gross density of 2.83 dwelling units (d.u.) per acre, with a net density of 3.56 d.u. per acre, consistent with the R-4 zoning and LDR FLUM designation for this site. The proposed gross density is lower than anticipated for the MDR designated area. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this application and apply to the proposed use of this property (staff analysis in italics): • "Support a variety of residential categories (low-, medium-, medium-high and high-density single-family, multi -family, townhouses, duplexes, apartments, condominiums, etc.) for the purpose of providing the City with a range of affordable housing opportunities." (3.07.0113) The proposed low density residential development will contribute to the variety ofhousing options located within the City. • "Require new residential development to meet development standards regarding landscaping, signage, fences and walls, etc." (3.05.02C) Street buffer landscaping is required adjacent to S. Kentucky Way and W. Harris Street, both residential collector streets, in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3B -7C. Separate permits shall be obtained for signage and fencing. Fencing shall comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. Biltmore Sub PP -14-004 PAGE 4 EXHIBIT A • "Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels." (3.06.0117) The proposed low-density residential development should be compatible with existing adjacent residential and agricultural uses. • "Require common area in all subdivisions." (3.07.02F) The proposed plat depicts a total of 5.78 acres of qual f ed open space/common area to be provided on the site in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3G -3B. • "Review new development for appropriate opportunities to connect local roads and collectors to adjacent properties (stub streets). (3.03.020) The proposed plat depicts stub streets to the north, east, south and west for future extension and interconnectivity. The proposed plat also depicts a connection to the existing stub streets, S. Kentucky Way, and W Harris Street. • "Require pedestrian access connectors in all new development to link subdivisions together to promote neighborhood connectivity as part of a community pathway system." (3.03.0313) There are no pedestrian connections proposed to adjacent properties. In order to promote neighborhood connectivity, micro paths should be provided to the north, west, and south. • "Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City." (3.01.0 IF) City sewer service will be available to this site upon completion of the sanitary sewer currently under construction across the Hansen property between Kentucky Ridge Estates and Meridian Heights subdivisions. Domestic Water service to the majority of the subject property does not currently exist, and is dependent on the establishment of Pressure Zone #5. This new Pressure Zone will provide service to lands above an approximate elevation of 2700 feet. To establish Pressure Zone #5, two new water sources will be needed, one of which must be a municipal well source, and the other can be from interconnecting pipes to other Pressure Zone #5 piping. The Public Works Department is in the early stages of planning a FY 2016 Capital Improvement Project to construct a pipeline from the existing Pressure Zone #5 west to the vicinity of this development. This developer will be responsible to plan for a connection to this pipeline. Due to the elevation and pressure zone issues, the northeast portion of this proposed preliminaryplat is the only area that will be able to be developed without the establishment of Pressure Zone #5. Detailed water modeling analysis will be required offinal platphases in this area to determine how much can be served by the existing Pressure Zone #4. The balance of the proposed development will not be able to be developed until such time that Pressure Zone #5 is established as stated above. VIII. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC) A. Purpose Statement of Zone: Per UDC 11-2A-1, the purpose of the residential districts is to provide for a range of housing opportunities consistent with the Meridian comprehensive plan. Residential districts are distinguished by the allowable density of dwelling units per acre and corresponding housing types that can be accommodated within the density range. The medium low-density residential (R-4) district allows a maximum gross density of 4 dwelling units per acre. B. Schedule of Use: Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 11-2A-2 lists the principal permitted (P), accessory (A), conditional (C), and prohibited (-) uses in the R-4 zoning district. Any use not explicitly listed, or listed as a prohibited use is prohibited. The proposed use of the property for Biltmore Sub PP -14-004 PAGE 5 EXHIBIT A single-family dwellings is a principal permitted use in the R-4 zoning district. C. Dimensional Standards: Development of the site should be consistent with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Tables 11-2A-5 for the R-4 zoning district. D. Landscaping: Street buffer landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the standards listed in UDC Tables 11-2A-5 for the R-4 zoning district. E. Off -Street Parking: Off-street parking is required in accord with UDC Table 11-3C-6 for single- family dwellings. IX. ANALYSIS A. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: This property was part of the Victory South annexation that was processed as a "Category B" annexation. One of the provisions of the Declaration of Consent to Annexation is that the property may not develop (or receive development approval) until such time as the property owners and the City execute a Development Agreement (DA). Therefore, in compliance with this provision, staff recommends a DA with the provisions contained in Exhibit B of this report. The DA is required to be approved by City Council and recorded prior to submittal of a final plat application. PRELIMINARY PLAT The proposed preliminary plat consists of 159 single-family residential building lots and 12 common/other lots on 56.19 acres of land in the R-4 (low density residential) zoning district. The minimum lot size proposed in the development is 8,640 square feet (s.f.) with an average lot size of 11,020 s.f; the minimum lot size adjacent to existing lots in Kentucky Ridge Estates is 10,000 s.f. The gross density is 2.83 dwelling units per acre with a net density of 3.56. Existing Structure(s): There are three existing homes and accessory structures on the site that are proposed to be removed. All structures on the site are required to be removed prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer. Dimensional Standards: Staff has reviewed the proposed plat for compliance with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2A-5 for the R-4 district and found the plat in compliance with those standards. Block Length: The maximum block length standard is 750 feet without an intersecting street or alley (UDC 11 -6C -3F). The length of the north block faces of Blocks 4 and 5 measure 822 feet and 867 feet respectively and exceed the maximum block length allowed. Block 3 also exceeds the maximum length; however, there are existing residential lots that abut this block to the north with no street connection to the site. The UDC does allow for the block length to be extended to 1,000 feet when a pedestrian connection is provided in certain circumstances. Therefore, staff recommends a micropath is provided centrally within Blocks 4 and 5 to provide access to the park in Block 7. Access: Access to this site is proposed on the plat from the north via S. Kentucky Way, a collector street in Kentucky Ridge Estates Subdivision; from the east via S. Carbondale Place, a local street in Meridian Heights Subdivision; and from the southeast via W. Harris Street, a collector street. A stub street is proposed to the west and to the north for future extension. To increase emergency access to the site a minimum of two points of access will be required for any portion of the project which serves more than 30 homes, as set forth in International Fire Code Biltmore Sub PP -14-004 PAGE 6 EXHIBIT A Section D107.1. The two entrances should be separated by no less than %a the diagonal measurement of the full development as set forth in International Fire Code Section D 104.3. A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was submitted by the applicant for this development. Comments have not yet been received from ACHD on this application. Utilities: Street lighting is required to be installed within the development in accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. All development is required to connect to the City water and sewer system unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer in accord with UDC 11-3A-21. Williams Gas Pipeline: A 300+/- foot long section of the Williams Pipeline crosses the southwest corner of the site. The Williams Pipeline is a natural gas pipeline that serves as a primary artery for the transmission of natural gas to the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain Region. The proposed plat depicts a 75 -foot wide right-of-way/easement for use by the pipeline company. All development shall comply with the Williams Gas Pipeline Developers' Handbook. An encroachment permit is required for any developmentlimprovements within the pipeline easement. Pressurized Irrigation (PI): An underground PI system is required to be provided to each lot in the subdivision as proposed in accord with UDC 11-3A-15. Storm Drainage: A storm drainage system is required for the development in accord with the City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction shall follow best management practice as adopted by the City in accord with UDC l i -3A -I8. Storm drainage seepage beds are depicted within common areas on the preliminary plat. Landscaping: A landscape plan was submitted with this application for the area proposed to be platted as shown in Exhibit A.3. A minimum 20 -foot wide street buffer is required along S. Kentucky Way and W. Harris Street, both collector streets. Landscaping is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3B -7C; a detailed plan demonstrating compliance with these standards is required to be submitted with the final plat application(s) for this subdivision. The landscape plan depicts several existing trees on the site within future building lots; however, the calculations table lists "NA" for mitigation of existing trees proposed to be removed. The applicant should contact Elroy Huff, City Arborist, at 888-3579 to schedule an appointment to confirm mitigation requirements prior to removal of any trees on the site. Mitigation calculations for existing healthy trees proposed to be removed should be included on the landscape plan submitted with the final plat application(s). Landscaping is required along all pathways on the site in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3B -12C. Open Space & Site Amenities: Based on the area of the preliminary plat (56.19 acres), a minimum of 10% of the site (or 5.61 acres) is required to consist of qualified open space as defined in UDC 11 -3G -3B. The applicant proposes a total of 10.2% (or 5.73 acres) of qualified open space consisting of a 1.5 acre park, a 0.20 acre pocket park, drainage areas, pathways, street buffers along collector streets (W. Harris St. & S. Kentucky Way) and parkways along local and collector streets, in compliance with the required standards. In accord with UDC 11 -3G -3A.2, a minimum of 3 qualified site amenities are required to be provided with this development as set forth in UDC 11 -3G -3C. The applicant proposes a tot lot with a play structure and a %: basketball court as recreational amenities and a segment of the City's regional pathway as a pedestrian/bicycle circulation system amenity in accord with UDC Biltmore Sub PP -14-004 PAGE 7 LW4461130V.1 requirements. A detail of the play structure proposed in the tot lot should be submitted with the final plat application for the phase in which it is located. Sidewalks: Sidewalks are required along all public streets as set forth in UDC 11-3A-17. Minimum 5 -foot wide detached sidewalks are required along S. Kentucky Way and W. Harris Street, both arterial streets. The street sections shown on the preliminary plat depict 5 -foot wide detached sidewalks throughout the development. Pathways: A 10 -foot wide regional pathway is depicted on the landscape plan across the southwest corner of this site within the Williams gas pipeline easement in accord with the Master Pathways Plan. Landscaping should be provided adjacent to the pathway in accord with UDC 1I - 3B -12C. If landscaping is not allowed within the pipeline easement, it should be provided outside of the easement within the adjacent common area. Internal micropath connections are proposed to the park in Block 7 and the regional pathway in Block 8; however, no pathway connections are proposed to future developments (there are no existing pathway stubs to this site from adjacent existing developments). Therefore, staff recommends micropath connections to the west (somewhere in the vicinity of Lots 16-19, Block 9); to the north in the vicinity of Lot 9, Block 9 to connect to a pathway planned in Revolution Ridge Subdivision; through Blocks 4 and 5 to comply with block length standards; and between Lots 18 and 19, Block 2 to provide a pedestrian connection to the sidewalk along W. Harris Street. Landscaping should be provided adjacent to the pathways in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3B -12C. Waterways: The Sundall Lateral lies off-site along the west boundary of the site. Other ditches also cross this site. All ditches on the site are required to be piped unless waived by City Council in accord with UDC I 1 -3A -6A. Floodplain: This site does not lie within the Meridian Floodplain Overlay District. Building Elevations: The applicant has submitted two conceptual building elevations for the future homes in this development, included in Exhibit A.S. Because the sides of homes on lots adjacent to S. Kentucky Way and the rear of homes that back up to W. Harris Street, both collector streets, will be highly visible, staff recommends the rear and/or sides of structures on these lots incorporate articulation through changes in materials, color, modulation, and architectural elements (horizontal and vertical) to break up monotonous wall planes and roof lines. Fencing: There is an existing 6 -Foot tall fence along the east and a portion of the north boundary of the site adjacent to existing residential lots. The landscape plan depicts 4 -foot tall solid vinyl fencing adjacent to interior common areas and 6 -foot tall vinyl fencing along the west boundary and adjacent to portions of the collector streets. All fencing installed on the site should comply with the standards listed in UDC 11 -3A -6B and 11-3A7. Property Boundary Adjustment (PBA): A PBA application was tentatively approved on March 12, 2014 which created the parcel configuration shown on the preliminary plat. Prior to final approval of the PBA application, the existing structures on the site are required to be removed. Prior to submittal of a final plat application for this site, the applicant must obtain final approval of the PBA application. In summary, Staff recommends approval of the proposed preliminaryplat request for this site with a development agreement and the recommended conditions listed in Exhibit B of this report in accord with the findings contained in Exhibit C.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 2.1 Site Specific Conditions of Approval 2.1.1 Domestic Water service to the majority of the subject property does not currently exist, and is dependent on the establishment of Pressure Zone #5. This new Pressure Zone will provide service to lands above an approximate elevation of 2700 feet. To establish Pressure Zone #5, two new water sources will be needed, one of which must be a municipal well source, and the other can be from interconnecting pipes to other Pressure Zone #5 piping. The Public Works Department is in the early stages of planning a FY 2016 Capital Improvement Project to construct -5- EXHIBIT A a pipeline from the existing Pressure Zone #5 west to the vicinity of this development. This developer will be responsible to plan for a connection to this pipeline. Due to the elevation and pressure zone issues, the northeast portion of this proposed preliminary plat is the only area that will be able to be developed without the establishment of Pressure Zone #5. Detailed water modeling analysis will be required of final plat phases in this area to determine how much can be served by the existing Pressure Zone #4. The balance of the proposed development will not be able to be developed until such time that Pressure Zone #5 is established as stated above. 2.1.2 The applicant has offered to donate a site for a new municipal well. The site for the well will need to be coordinated with the Public Works Department, and be a minimum of 140'x140'. If the well site cannot be legally divided off and conveyed to the city at this time, the city can accept a long term lease until such time that the property can legally be conveyed. The timing of the construction of the municipal well can take as much as three -years. Because of the complex nature of water delivery in this area, each phase of the development will require modeling analysis. Results of this modeling may necessitate additional water main connections to ensure fire flow needs are met. 2.1.3 When Pressure Zone 5 is established as noted above, and the developer proceeds with development of property in that area, the developer will be responsible for the installation of Pressure Reducing (PRV) station(s) to separate the Pressure Zones. The applicant shall provide an easement and install a pressure reducing station vault and conduits for the power lines and telemetry cable.

Such notice shall indicate whether the Owner is requesting a conference among the Owner, Contractor and Surety to discuss the Contractor's performance. If the Owner does not request a conference, the Surety may, within five (5) business days after receipt of the Owner's notice, request such a conference. If the Surety timely requests a conference, the Owner shall attend. Unless the Owner agrees otherwise, any conference requested under this Section 3.1 shall be held within ten (10) business days of the Surety's receipt of the Owner's notice. If the Owner, the Contractor and the Surety agree, the Contractor shall be allowed a reasonable time to perform the Construction Contract, but such an agreement shall not waive the Owner's right, if any, subsequently to declare a Contractor Default; .2 the Owner declares a Contractor Default, terminates the Construction Contract and notifies the Surety; and .3 the Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract Price in accordance with the terms of the Construction Contract to the Surety or to a contractor selected to perform the Construction Contract. § 4 Failure on the part of the Owner to comply with the notice requirement in Section 3.1 shall not constitute a failure to comply with a condition precedent to the Surety's obligations, or release the Surety from its obligations, except to the extent the Surety demonstrates actual prejudice. § 5 When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Section 3, the Surety shall promptly and at the Surety's expense take one of the following actions: § 5.1 Arrange for the Contractor, with the consent of the Owner, to perform and complete the Construction Contract; § 5.2 Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract itself, through its agents or independent contractors; § 5.3 Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified contractors acceptable to the Owner for a contract for performance and completion of the Construction Contract, arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution by the Owner and a contractor selected with the Owner's concurrence, to be secured with performance and payment bonds executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction Contract, and pay to the Owner the amount of damages as described in Section 7 in excess of the Balance of the Contract Price incurred by the (hurter as a result of the Contractor Default; or § 5.4 Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for completion, or obtain a new contractor and with reasonable promptness under the circumstances: .1 After investigation, determine the amount for which it may be liable to the Owner and, as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, make payment to the Owner; or .2 Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner, citing the reasons for denial. § 51f the Surety does not proceed as provided in Section 5 with reasonable promptness, the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this Bond seven days after receipt of an additional written notice from the Owner to the Surety demanding that the Surety perform its obligations under this Bond, and the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds as provided in Section 5.4, and the Owner refuses the payment or the Surety has denied liability, in whole or in part, without further notice the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner.

Subject to the commitment by the Owner to pay the Balance of the Contract Price, the Surety is obligated, without duplication, for .1 the responsibilities of the Contractor for correction of defective work and completion of the Construction Contract; .2 additional legal, design professional and delay costs resulting from the Contractor's Default, and resulting from the actions or failure to act of the Surety under Section 5; and .3 liquidated damages, or if no liquidated damages are specified in the Construction Contract, actual damages caused by delayed performance or non-performance of the Contractor. § 8 I the Surety elects to act under Section 5.1, 5.3 or 5.4, the Surety's liability is limited to the amount of this Bond. § 0 The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner or others for obligations of the Contractor that are unrelated to the Construction Contract, and the Balance of the Contract Price shall not be reduced or set off on account of any such unrelated obligations. No right of action shall accrue on this Bond to any person or entity other than the Owner or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. § 10 The Surety hereby waives notice of any change, including changes of time, to the Construction Contract or to related subcontracts, purchase orders and other obligations. § 11 Any proceeding, legal or equitable, under this Bond may be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction in the location in which the work or part of the work is located and shall be instituted within two years after a declaration of Contractor Default or within two years after the Contractor ceased working or within two years after the Surety refuses or fails to perform its obligations under this Bond, whichever occurs first. If the provisions of this Paragraph are void or prohibited by law, the minimum period of limitation available to sureties as a defense in the jurisdiction of the suit shall be applicable. § 12 Notice to the Surety, the Owner or the Contractor shall be mailed or delivered to the address shown on the page on which their signature appears. § 13 When this Bond has been famished to comply with a statutory or other legal requirement in the location where the construction was to be performed, any provision in this Bond conflicting with said statutory or legal requirement shall be deemed deleted herefrom and provisions conforming to such statutory or other legal requirement shall be deemed incorporated herein. When so famished, the intent is that this Bond shall be construed as a statutory bond and not as a common law bond. § 14 Definitions § 14.1 Balance of the Contract Price.

Such notice shall indicate whether the Owner is requesting a conference among the Owner, Contractor and Surety to discuss the Contractor's performance. If the Owner does not request a conference, the Surety may, within five (5) business days after receipt of the Owner's notice, request such a conference. If the Surety timely requests a conference, the Owner shall attend. Unless the Owner agrees otherwise, any conference requested under this Section 3.1 shall be held within ten (10) business days of the Surety's receipt of the Owner's notice. If the Owner, the Contractor and the Surety agree, the Contractor shall be allowed a reasonable time to perform the Construction Contract, but such an agreement shall not waive the Owner's right, if any, subsequently to declare a Contractor Default; .2 the Owner declares a Contractor Default, terminates the Construction Contract and notifies the Surety; and .3 the Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract Price in accordance with the terms of the Construction Contract to the Surety or to a contractor selected to perform the Construction Contract. § 4 Failure on the part of the Owner to comply with the notice requirement in Section 3.1 shall not constitute a failure to comply with a condition precedent to the Surety's obligations, or release the Surety from its obligations, except to the extent the Surety demonstrates actual prejudice. § 5 When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Section 3, the Surety shall promptly and at the Surety's expense take one of the following actions: § 5.1 Arrange for the Contractor, with the consent of the Owner, to perform and complete the Construction Contract; § 5,2 Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract itself, through its agents or independent contractors; § 5.3 Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified contractors acceptable to the Owner for a contract for performance and completion of the Construction Contract, arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution by the Owner and a contractor selected with the Owner's concurrence, to be secured with performance and payment bonds executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction Contract, and pay to the Owner the amount of damages as described in Section 7 in excess of the Balance of the Contract Price incurred by the Owner as a result of the Contractor Default; or § 5.4 Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for completion, or obtain a new contractor and with reasonable promptness under the circumstances: .1 After investigation, determine the amount for which it may be liable to the Owner and, as soon as practicable atter the amount is determined, make payment to the Owner; or .2 Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner, citing the reasons for denial. § 5 If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Section 5 with reasonable promptness, the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this Bond seven days after receipt of an additional written notice from the Owner to the Surety demanding that the Surety perform its obligations under this Bond, and the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds as provided in Section 5.4, and the Owner refuses the payment or the Surety has denied liability, in whole or in part, without further notice the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner.

Introduction Smart Growth is a set of principles that guides development into more compact, interconnected, mixed use patterns. This pattern produces more vibrant communities, healthier land and has proven to be more sustainable. Smart Growth development has been shown to reduce the number of miles that people travel by vehicle every day and it has also proven to use less energy overall than more sprawling communities. Smart Growth provides: • Diverse choices in housing and transportation; • Great places to do business; • Healthy air, water and quality of life; • Efficient use of taxes and lower costs of services; and • Farm, ranch and landscape preservation. Compact development does not mean exclusively high-rise or even uniform high density. It does mean higher average densities from a mix of housing types. Compact development features a mix of land uses, strong population and employment centers, interconnected streets, and design of both structures and public realm at a human scale. Idaho Smart Growth (ISG) is committed to supporting the development and sustainability of lasting, balanced and vibrant Idaho communities. In 2012, ISG received a grant from the Intermountain Funders Network to promote smart growth by helping Idaho cities better understand the costs of different types of growth. The scope of the grant included a partnership with Galena Consulting to model the fiscal impacts of a proposed development for two Idaho cities. As one of the fastest growing cities in the State, the City of Meridian was an obvious choice for participation in this project. Meridian had retained the services of BBC Research & Consulting and Galena Consulting in 2007 to apply a similar model to their Comprehensive Plan at build -out in both a traditional lower -density land use model as well as a higher density transit -oriented land use model. Based on the assumptions of used in the 2007 study, the lower density model was projected to produce a net deficit of $62.8 million, while the higher density model was projected to produce a net surplus of $16.5 million. ISG offered the services of Galena Consulting to update Meridian's 2007 fiscal impact model and apply the model to a development of the City's choice. Concurrently, Meridian had retained the services of Pegasus Planning and Development to provide an economic IW'] PEGASUS Appendix Meridian Fiscal Impact Model development analysis for the City. Among other recommendations in its Fields District Strategy report dated June 2014, Pegasus promotes farming -focused real estate development incorporating a mix of residential, commercial, agricultural and civic uses. The City requested that ISG and Galena Consulting update their fiscal impact model specifically to analyze the potential fiscal impacts of a 500 acre Ag -Based real estate development compared to a more traditional subdivision. The fiscal impact model estimates current marginal costs and marginal revenues for all City General Fund Departments, and applies them to both the Ag -Based Development Model proposal as well as a similarly -sized traditionally developed parcel of land on a per unit or per square foot basis to determine the net fiscal impact to the City. The fiscal impact model is dynamic— assumptions can be adjusted to reflect a range of possible fiscal impacts. HSI PEGASUS Appendix Meridian Fiscal Impact Model SECTION II. Summary of Findings Ag -Based Development Model What does the fiscal impact model suggest about the net fiscal impact of Ag -Based Development Model on the City's General Fund budget? Residential development. At full development, the 500 acre Ag -Based Development is envisioned to include 1,011 residential units as follows': • 450 high density single-family residential units with an estimated present day market value of $150,000; • 250 moderate density single-family residential units with an estimated present day market value of $180,000; • 11 low density single-family residential units with an estimated present day market value of $200,000; • 150 multi -family townhomes with an estimated present day market value of $150,000; and • 150 multi -family apartments with an estimated present day market value of $150,000; Non-residential. The proposed development includes the construction of 80,000 square feet of office development, and 70,000 square feet of retail development. These land uses were valued at $220 per square foot. Farmland. The proposed development includes a 40 acre Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm; a 20 acre incubator farm; and a 100 acre working farm. These land uses were valued at $1,200 per acre based on assessed values of irrigated agricultural land in the area. Exhibit II -1 below reflects the annual net fiscal impacts of each type of land use planned for the proposed Ag -Based Development Model. Fail PEGASUS Appendix Meridian Fiscal Impact Model Exhibit II -1. Fiscal Impact by Type of Land Use - Ag -Based Development Model As indicated in the above exhibit, at the per unit market valuation assumptions used in the model, residential and commercial development would result in the following annual net fiscal impacts: • Residential units would produce an annual surplus of approximately $127-302 per unit; • The office development would produce an annual surplus of approximately $0.16 per square foot; and • Retail development would produce an annual surplus of approximately $0.16 per square foot. In addition, the proposed farms would produce a minimal annual surplus. The model further indicates that the cumulative surplus from all residential development in the development at full build outz would be approximately $840,207. The cumulative surplus of all commercial development (including the farm land) at full build -out would be approximately $123,149, resulting in a net cumulative surplus of approximately $963,366. At present value (PV), this net cumulative surplus is approximately $623,635. Present Value reflects the concept that potential future surpluses for the City should be valued less in today's dollars due to both the potential for inflation over time and uncertainty about twenty years of development projections. This surplus has been calculated based on assumptions about revenue generation and marginal costs. To account for the variability in these assumptions, we have conducted a sensitivity analysis on the model's calculations to identify how anticipated impacts could change if assumptions about revenues, expenditures, or property values were to change.

RA Appendix Meridian Fiscal Impact Mode PEGASUS Based on a 10 -year analysis period, Exhibit II -2 below displays a range of potential fiscal impacts from a high scenario of a $967,273 present value (PV) surplus to a low scenario of a $331,138 PV surplus. It is important to note that these figures represent the cumulative impact to the City over 10 years, not annual impacts. Exhibit II -2.

The "High Performance" increases annual revenues by 10 percent, while "Low Performance" reduces annual revenues by 10 percent. (2) `Baseline Cost Variability" assumes variability of expenditures as calculated in the model. "High Cost Variability" increases annual amount of variable expenditures by 10 percent, while "Low Cost Variability' reduces annual amount of variable expenditures by 10 percent. What factors could lead to the high scenario or a better performing development? These include higher than expected residential and commercial valuations for property tax purposes, higher sales tax collections and lower per unit service delivery costs3. The opposite factors could lead to the low scenario or a less -well performing development: lower than expected valuations, less sales tax and higher per unit costs. Traditional Subdivision Model But how does the fiscal impact of Ag -Based Development Model compare to a more traditional approach to developing the same 500 acre parcel of land? For these purposes, Pegasus Planning and Development identified a Traditional Subdivision Model and Galena Consulting applied the same fiscal impact analysis process to its land uses. The Traditional Subdivision Model consists of moderate and low density residential development, office and retail uses as follows: FIN Appendix Meridian Fiscal Impact Model PEGASUS Residential development. • 400 moderate density single-family residential units with an estimated present day market value of $160,0004; • 230 low density single-family residential units with an estimated present day market value of $180,000; Non-residential. The proposed development includes the construction of 80,000 square feet of office development, and 70,000 square feet of retail development, both valued at $220 per square foot, identical to the Ag -Based Development Model. No farm land was preserved in the Traditional Subdivision Model, no high density single family homes were included, and no high density or multifamily housing was included. Exhibit II -3 below reflects the annual net fiscal impacts of each type of land use identified in the Traditional Subdivision Model. Exhibit II -3. Fiscal Impact by Type of Land Use—Traditional Subdivision Model While office and retail land uses produce the same fiscal impact as the Ag -Based Development Model, the annual net fiscal impacts of the residential units in the Traditional Subdivision Model are $85-$93 lower than those of the Ag -Based Development Model because of the noted assumption of lower market values of these units. In addition, there are 381 fewer housing units in the same number of acres. This lower market value per unit and lower density per acre contributes to a lower surplus to the City at build -out than the Ag -Based Development Model. The cumulative surplus from all residential development in the development at full build out would be approximately $563,745. The cumulative surplus of all commercial development at full build -out would be approximately $134,138, resulting in a net cumulative surplus of approximately $697,883. This is $265,483 less than the net cumulative surplus in the Ag -Based Development Model of $963,366. At present value (PV), the Traditional Subdivision Model's net cumulative surplus is approximately $453,487. Based on a 10 -year analysis period, Exhibit II -4 below displays a range of potential fiscal impacts from a high scenario of a $692,303 present value (PV) surplus to a low scenario of a $249,846 PV surplus. s� Total Total Fiscal Types of Land Use Other Revenue+ Property Tax= Revenue/Unit- Expense/Unit= Impact/Unit Single -Family Moderate Density $383.66 $324.01 $707.67 $576.07 $131.60 Single -Family Low Density $383.66 $409.19 $792.85 $576.07 $216.78 Office $0.09 $0.94 $1.02 $0.86 $0.16 Retail $0.09 $0.94 $1.02 $0.86 $0.16 While office and retail land uses produce the same fiscal impact as the Ag -Based Development Model, the annual net fiscal impacts of the residential units in the Traditional Subdivision Model are $85-$93 lower than those of the Ag -Based Development Model because of the noted assumption of lower market values of these units.

"High Cost Variability" increases annual amount of variable expenditures by 10 percent, while "Low Cost Variability" reduces annual amount of variable expenditures by 10 percent. As these exhibits show, the Ag -Based Development Model "outperforms" the Traditional Subdivision Model from a fiscal impact perspective. When equal residential property values are assumed for both models, the fiscal impact is nearly identical. The Ag -Based Development Model, with its increased number and more diverse types of housing, plus revenue producing farmlands, may have additional non -fiscal benefits for the City as well, as indicated in the Fields District Strategy report from Pegasus Planning and Development. M Appendix Meridian Fiscal Impact Model PEGASUS SECTION III. Methodology and Technical Description This section provides a general overview of the methodology used to develop the fiscal model. The technical description then goes into more detail about the particular assumptions that were used to develop a fiscal impact model of the proposed development. This technical description provides an overview of how the model can be utilized in the future to determine the fiscal impact of a variety of potential development types. General Background The fiscal impact model estimates current marginal costs and marginal revenues — costs and revenues that would change as a result of a proposed development - for the City's General Fund.' After estimating marginal costs and revenues, the model applies them to projected new development on a per unit or per square foot basis, and compares them to estimated net new revenues. Exhibit III -1 below provides a basic outline of the methodology used in this model. Exhibit III -1. Basic Model Methodology Projected new residential Current marginal costs and New City costs and units or non-residential X revenues (per residential unit or = revenue square feet non-residential square foot) Developments that generate ongoing surpluses produce City revenues that exceed the costs of the services they require. These excess revenues could be used to offset deficits from other developments, to augment the City's fund balance, or to improve service standards. Developments that produce ongoing deficits require service costs in excess of the revenues they generate. These deficits could be offset by surpluses from other developments, they could be mitigated out of fund balance, they could be mitigated by the developer, or they could require the Cityto decrease service levels. To the extent that actual revenues and expenditures vary from the estimates provided within these interviews, the results of the model will vary from reality. The model is designed to illustrate the potential fiscal impact of new development, but it is not anticipated that the impacts estimated in the model will precisely mirror those that actually occur. ER PEGASUS Appendix Meridian Fiscal Impact Model Assumptions The calculations in the fiscal model are based on two sets of assumptions: • Assumptions about the size, type and value of the proposed development to be analyzed by the model; and • Assumptions about the service delivery patterns of City functions, including the expenditures that are variable in regards to growth and the types of development that cause increases in those expenditures. The technical description of the model is divided into two sections based on those sets of assumptions. Development Assumptions Two pieces of information are required about a projected development in order to calculate its likely fiscal impact: • The development schedule for each projected residential unit type or non-residential land -use; and, • The property value of each unit type or land -use. The fiscal impact model for the proposed development is designed to assess the four land -use types proposed: residential, office, retail, and farmland development. Exhibit III -2 below summarizes the land -use assumptions for the development which we have used the fiscal model to analyze. This data can be modified to represent changes in land use assumptions in the proposed development, or land uses in any future development under consideration in the City of Meridian. Exhibit III -2. Development Land Use Assumptions Land Use Type Value and Phasing Single Family High Density Residential 450 new units at a cost of $150,000 per unit absorbed equally over 10 years Single Family Moderate Density Residential 250 new units at a cost of $180,000 per unit absorbed equally over 10 years Single Family Low Density Residential 11 new units at a cost of $200,000 per unit absorbed equally over 10 years Multi Family Townhomes 150 new units at a cost of $150,000 per unit absorbed equally over 10 years Multi Family Apartments 150 new units at a cost of $150,000 per mit absorbed equally over 10 years Office 80,000 square feet at a cost of $220 per square foot mit absorbed equally over 10 years Retail 70,000 square feet at a cost of $220 per square foot mit absorbed equally over 10 years CSA Fame 40 acres, valued at $1,200 per acre producing 1,011 CSA shares per year as well as produce to be sold at an on -property farm stand Incubator Farm 20 acres, valued at $1,200 per acre Working Farm 100 acres, valued at $1,200 per acre FA PEGASUS Appendix Meridian Fiscal Impact Model Other data required from the user of the model includes: • Number of years being analyzed • Year project construction begins • Absorption rate of each land use type (specific or equally spaced) • Total number of residential units or non-residential square footage • Market value per unit or square foot • Property tax assessment ratio • General Fund mill levy • Sales tax rate and sales tax realization factor Many of these assumptions are based on estimates based on current market values, land use distribution ratios, etc. All of the assumptions above can be manually adjusted by the user to analyze alternative results. Using the information provided in Exhibit III -2, the model then develops a year -by -year cumulative absorption schedule that is used in the calculation of total costs and revenues. In the case of the proposed Ag -Based Development Model, we have assumed equal absorption over 10 years. Once property values and projected absorption have been defined, the model will calculate the impacts of a particular development based on a number of departmental expenditure assumptions. Departmental Expenditure Assumptions Fiscal impacts of proposed developments are calculated by developing per unit and per square foot revenue and expenditure amounts and applying these to a projected development schedule. Three steps are involved in calculating general fund expenditures required by any development being analyzed by the model. These steps are explained further based on our process analyzing the fiscal impacts of the proposed Ag -Based Development Model. Step 1. Estimating Fixed and Variable Expenditures. For every department, budgeted FY2014 expenditures were split between fixed and variable costs based on interviews with City staff and our past experience. Fixed costs are those that would not increase in order to support new development (i.e., the budget for the City Council would not significantly increase because of new development). Variable costs are those that would need to increase in order to support new development (i.e., the budget for the Police Department would increase by a factor more closely related to the increase in population and new square footage). Step 2. Estimating Residential/Non-Residential Expenditures. A second step involved splitting the total variable costs for each City function into two groups: those sensitive to residential growth and those sensitive to non-residential growth. As with Step 1, these estimates were obtained through interviews with City staff and our past experience. Various theories were used to estimate these PEGASUS Appendix Meridian Fiscal Impact Model allocations, including calls for service, percent of assessed valuation, or "pure plays" (functions that are primarily devoted to one land -use type, such as parks in regards to residential development, or economic development in regards to non-residential development). Step 3. Per Unit/Square Foot Allocation. After developing total variable residential and non-residential expenditures for each City function, these totals were divided by the current total residential units and non-residential square feet in the City. These calculations generated current marginal costs per residential unit or non-residential square foot for each department. Steps 1 through 3 are illustrated in Exhibit III -3 below. Using the Public Works Department as an example, the process for determining per unit/square foot variable expenditures by land use type is demonstrated.6 Highlighted data indicates model inputs developed through discussions with department staff or our past experience. The model can easily be modified by adjusting these inputs. Exhibit III -3.

Appendix Meridian Fiscal Impact Model PEGASUS Property tax revenue. Using the per unit and square foot market values given in Exhibit III -2, a per unit property tax revenue amount was calculated by multiplying the market valuation by the City's General Fund FY14milI levy of 0.004258855. However, the market value for all residential units was first adjusted for the 50% homeowner's exemption (up to $83,920 asset by the State of Idaho). Using a high density residential unit as an example, Exhibit III -5 demonstrates how this calculation resulted in $127 property tax revenues per unit. Exhibit III -5.

Other Revenues. Finally, all other revenues were calculated in a fashion similar to expenditures. All FY14 budgeted revenues sources excluding property tax were allocated among those that were fixed (revenue sources that would not significantly increase due to growth, such as interest) and those that were variable (revenue sources that are directly tied to growth, such as permit fees). Total variable revenues were then allocated based on sensitivity to commercial or residential development. Finally, variable residential and commercial revenues were divided by total existing residential units or non-residential square feet to estimate marginal revenues. Exhibit III -6 below illustrates this calculation. 91 Appendix Exhibit 111-6.

Commercial development would generate approximately $0.09 in other revenue per square foot, in addition to any property tax revenue. Summary Using the various data points presented above, the model calculates the net fiscal impacts on the General Fund from any proposed development. In the example we have used above, marginal expenditures are multiplied by the development projections to generate total project expenditures. Marginal revenues are multiplied by those same projections to produce total project revenues.7 In every year of the analysis, these figures are then compared to estimate net annual and cumulative development impacts. The cumulative net fiscal impact of all residential development proposed within the development is presented in Exhibit III -7 below. WPA Appendix PEGASUS Meridian Fiscal Impact Model Exhibit III -7.

The cumulative surplus of all commercial development (office and retail) would be approximately $123,149, resulting in a net cumulative surplus of approximately $963,366. At present value (PV), the net cumulative surplus is approximately $623,635. This surplus has been calculated based on assumptions about revenue generation and marginal costs. To account for the variability in these assumptions, we have conducted a sensitivity analysis on the model's calculations to identify how anticipated impacts could change if assumptions about revenues, expenditures, or property values were to change. The results of this analysis are shown in Exhibit II -2 of this report. An identical modeling process was conducted on a more traditional subdivision model for the same parcel of land, following each of the steps described above. The results of that analysis are presented in Section II of this report. PEGASUS Appendix Meridian Fiscal Impact Model Endnotes: 1. Assumptions regarding residential and commercial market values were made based on market research and recent analysis provided by the City of Meridian. Assumptions are conservative. Variations in actual market value will produce different net surplus/deficits. 2. For the purpose of modeling, we have assumed a 10 -year equal absorption rate. 3. Infill development, for example, costs less to serve per unit because necessary infrastructure and other resources (i.e., fire stations) are already in place, whereas new development away from existing infrastructure and resources requires additional expense to serve. 4. Market values for the residential units in the Ag -Based Development Model are $20,000 higher than the market values used in the Traditional Model to reflect research showing residential units adjacent to agricultural/open space has a higher property valuation than those not adjacent to these land uses. These assumptions can be revised within the model to test different price points and outcomes. See New York Times article, "Organic Farms as Subdivision Amenities" June 30 2009: http://www.nyti mes.com/2009/07/01/business/energy-environment/0lfarm.html?_r=0 5. Other funds, such as utility funds, have a cost recovery philosophy that ensures that they will break even, and are therefore not addressed in this report. 6. Similar exhibits for all City departments are included in the full fiscal analysis model provided to the City. 7.

Meridian is also home to some of the richest farmland in the country — much of which has been lost over the last 10 years to residential subdivisions. These subdivisions have attracted many families and some single professionals to live in Meridian, thereby helping spur the City's de- velopment as a retail center serving the entire region. The healthcare sector and office development have also grown at correspondingly rapid rates within Meridian during this time. Yet, low-density residential growth coupled only with commercial development is an unbal- anced model that is not sustainable for the long term. City leaders therefore recognize that they must plot a new path to more aggressively promote diversification of Meridian's economy. Meridian is thus at a crossroads in its growth trajectory. One path continues to grow residential, retail, health- care and office development and also continues the loss of agricultural lands to the North and West of current city limits. The other path is one that fosters a purpose- ful growth that is more financially and environmentally sustainable. This second path is the road less travelled by most cities in the United States, but it is a path that Meridian must take in its effort to grow sustainably and diversify its economy. Crisis, change and opportunity bring about a call for ac- tion. Meridian's call for action is driven by the follow- ing issues identified and validated through this project: • Lack of economic diversification • Weak business -education -workforce collaboration • Small share of 25-35 year olds (relative to Boise and Meridian's regional and national competition) • Weak entrepreneurship culture and lack of business innovation infrastructure • Loss of agricultural lands, and • Lack of housing choice/diversity FIELDS DISTRICT REPORT • 7 The recommendations found in this report are strongly aligned with those of the City's formal Economic Devel- opment Strategy. Within the framework of this over- arching Strategy and its focus on various target indus- tries, continued strengthening and development of Meridian's agricultural cluster is viewed as the City's premier economic development opportunity. To drive this forward, three separate but highly complementary signature initiatives are proposed -- designed to solidify and promote Meridian's competitive advantage for agri- cultural economic development: 1. Ag -Innovation Campus —An agricultural -focused "Talent and Industry Partnership Initiative" tied to a physical location that is designed to promote collaboration between agribusinesses, farming and K-20 educational institutions. The campus will help build a pipeline for the next generation of agricultural workforce and serve as a proving ground for ag-innovation and ag-entrepreneurs. 2. Agri -Tourism — A set of initiatives to create new agriculturally -focused tourism assets and to market and position Meridian as an Agr-Tourism destination 3. Ag -based real estate development —An innovative model based on the concept of clustering residential development around a working farm. These initiatives are immediately implementable and can be pursued in a phased and coordinated fashion -- based on a detailed implementation roadmap that is yet to be developed. Projects building on each of these scenarios have been successful in communities across the US, as demonstrated by case studies with this report. As concepts, they have been well received by the many stakeholders involved in this study process over the last year. Outside resources will be required to implement several of these initiatives; however there is support regionally and within the State of Idaho for Meridian to pursue these new pathways to economic competitiveness and prosperity. /A CITY OF MERIDIAN, IDAHO Background .............................................................. In September 2013, The City of Meridian hired the team of Pegasus Planning and Development in collaboration with Point A Consulting, to answer the question, "Can Meridian diversify its economy while building upon its agricultural heritage?" As a point of departure, the consultant team was asked to vet a set of opportunities and assets identified in an existing White Paper that had been internally developed by the City, and that proposed a range of potential agriculturally -focused economic de- velopment strategies for Meridian. After examining this question from the perspectives of data analysis, diverse stakeholder input, and professional knowledge of na- tional best practices and trends, the consultant's answer to this question was a definitive "YES", and possible preliminary directions were identified. At issue then, for further exploration, was "How?" Phase I involved extensive interviews with key stake- holders identified by the City, including education and community leaders, agri-businesses and farmers. It also involved in-depth analysis of city and regional socio-eco- nomic data, and a careful review of previous reports and plans (transportation, land use, downtown and others). Phase I of the study effort was designed to conclude FIELDS DISTRICT REPORT • 9 with a "Go/No-Go" decision -point was set as its objec- tive. The consultants determined from our analysis of data and from initial stakeholder support that a second Phase of study was warranted in order to define more specific strategies and tactics for development of the "Fields District"—the geographic area in northwest Meridian and Ada County targeted for this study. Phase II began in February of 2014 and built on find- ings and the preliminary directions identified in Phase I, with a goal of defining an overarching Strategy for the Fields District. This report represents a culmina- tion of both the Phase I and II study efforts. All of the quantifiable and qualitative analysis is incorporated into this Draft Final Report and its recommended strategies. In parallel the City of Meridian engaged the consultant team to perform an Economic Audit and to recommend an Economic Development Strategy for Meridian. The Fields District strategy and initiatives found herein have therefore been folded into this overall Economic Development Strategy for the City of Meridian. Findings .............................................................. Consultant's Approach in Brief Beginning with the preliminary recommendations devel- oped during the Fields District Phase I study, the con- sultants conducted further qualitative and quantitative analysis to refine and articulate the potential for major agricultural -related economic development initiatives in Meridian. Positioning Meridian at the forefront of advanced agribusiness development was a guiding theme in this research. Stakeholders across the spectrum of agribusiness, academia, land development, and govern- ment contributed their perspectives and feedback to the process. This rich collection of experience and expertise was combined with an investigation of industry employ- ment and growth data. This quantitative research pro- vided a more rigorous test of feasibility, ensuring that a range of specific local industries could be drawn into and benefit from the Fields' recommendations. Qualitative Analysis Overview The consultant findings drew heavily on qualitative analysis to understand the area's strengths and op- portunities in agricultural production, agricultural education and academic research, and within the agribusiness sector generally. Many assets or competi- tive advantages identified through our investigation are geographically dispersed across the state and some even are located in surrounding states. To understand the opportunities for leveraging assets locally, sive interviews were conducted; stakeholders were engaged throughout the study effectivell an informal type of advisory group for the pd 10 ' CITY OF MERIDIAN. IDAHO o Interviews were conducted with key stakeholders and leaders across a range of sectors, including the following: • City Officials: Mayor's office, Community Development (Economic Development, Planning & Zoning, Urban Design), City Finance, Public Works • Economic Development Organizations: Meridian Chamber of Commerce, Meridian Development Corporation (MDC), Boise Valley Economic Partnership (BVEP), The CORE • Academia/School District: University of Idaho College of Agriculture and Life Sciences; Boise State University, Division of Research and Economic Development; Idaho State University, Meridian Health Science Center; College of Western Idaho; Meridian Joint School District No.2 • Business Community: Approximately 20 personal interviews with businesses in Meridian and regional employers in Health Care, Agribusiness, Finance & Insurance, Agricultural Production, Land Development, and Manufacturing. o Focus Groups were held, during which preliminary findings were presented. Stakeholders then had an opportunity to provide further input regarding their level of interest in future collaboration, and gave feedback and refinement on recommendations from the following sectors. Focus Groups conducted included the following main groupings: • Agribusiness • Academia/Workforce Development • Advisory Group/Ready Team (three meetings) • Meridian Chamber of Commerce (Executive Board, Legislative Committee) • Meridian Development Corporation o Site Visits were conducted by the consultants to view major regional economic development assets and facilities and to learn about their capabilities. Among these were: • College of Western Idaho - Micron Center for Professional Technical Education • Meridian / Idaho State University Health Science Center • Meridian High School, Professional and Techical Center • University of Idaho Caine Veterinary Teaching Center • Idaho National Laboratory Qualitative Analysis Overview The quantitative analysis performed in Phase I was comprised of intensive community and economic data analysis and preliminary industry analysis. Due largely to the qualitative findings, the data analysis shifted during Phase II focused on labor analysis and the determination of industry targets (see Appendix). Target Industries were studied at a high level of specificity (4 -digit NAICS codes) to determine those industries that both A) showed core strengths in the Treasure Valley and B) perform favorably in the national market as a whole, based on employment growth and Bureau of Labor Statistics projections.The Treasure Valley as a whole was chosen for analysis as well as Ada County because industry strengths in the whole region represent opportunities for development in Meridian. For the Fields analysis, major attention was given to the agriculture "supercluster." Based on literature review this included an array of industries related to farming, farm machinery, food manufacturing and wholesaling, and advanced research and devices relevant to 21st century agriculture. Additional analysis focused on regional target industries. Initial projections were made regarding occupational profiles of agricultural and other target industries, but these should be refined with further qualitative and quantita- tive analysis [see Next Steps]. College of Western Idaho, Micron Center - home to AgCo Training facility College of Western Idaho's AgCo training facility currently in Nampa. This facility is used extensively by students and industry to train workforce in the repair and use of high-tech machinery. Factors of analysis included the following data: o Regional industry employment and employment growth over a recent five-year study period. o Local competitive advantage revealed by location quotient and shift -share analysis, established techniques for community economic planning. o National industry growth projections. o Relationship of industries to broad sectoral targets determined by the State of Idaho, Boise Valley Economic Partnership (BVEP), and project scope. o Average industry salaries compared to state averages. Summary of Stakeholder Viewpoints Phase I & II Phase I concluded by identifying a list of potential scenarios to promote agricultural economic development of Meridian and the surrounding region. This list was narrowed to three (3) that have been more fully developed through the Phase II process, and that form the basis for the recommendations contained in this report. Through focus groups and one-on-one interviews with key stakeholders, extensive feedback was collected on the relevance and potential for success of these three initiatives within the Meridian, Treasure Valley and Idaho environments. A high level summary of Stakeholder viewpoint is pre- sented below, organized by industry or interest group, which points the way toward the recommended Strategy and its supporting initiatives. This is supplemented by a business survey found in the Economic Audit & Strategy. FIELDS DISTRICT REPORT • 11 Agribusiness Agribusiness stakeholders reported a significant need for a stronger workforce pipeline covering the entire spectrum of skill levels, from entry-level to advanced scientific positions. They would also like to see more robust capabilities for professional development of existing employees. Stakeholders in this sector value the work ethic that graduates from the region's Ag technical programs and FFA students possess, but call attention to the fact that information technology skills are increasingly critical. One interviewee identified the ideal worker as "a kid that grew up his whole life on a farm, and he can rebuild a tractor engine, but who also knows computer science and can write code just as easily." In the course of introducing agribusiness representatives to these proposed initiatives, all were interested and excited about creating stronger workforce develop- ment capabilities in the region. Agri -tourism also was seen as an opportunity to cultivate a renewed interest in the area's agricultural heritage and to attract future worker to the industry. Academia While all of the Meridian and Idaho academic institu- tions whom we interviewed (high school, community college and university) have some form of relationships with individual agribusinesses, these do not appear to have been focused at the level of defining industry- wide needs. Nor are they structured with the level of institutionalization required for a well-functioning tal- ent -business collaborative to satisfy workforce demand (at all talent levels). And the opportunity to create a stronger foundation for commercializing university - developed research and technology inventions was an exciting prospect to all stakeholders interviewed. Through the focus group discussions, questions arose regarding implementation, e.g. the nature and quality of "workforce demand" at the level of specific occupa- tional categories. While this study included a prelimi- nary analysis of occupational categories, it was limited in scope as this is an implementation issue that should be addressed in depth through further study directly with the industry and academic stakeholders, wor in tandem. (See Next Steps). 41,2111 12 • CITY OF MERIDIAN. IDAHO Farmers Active farmland in the Meridian area is highly coveted for real estate development as subdivisions and shopping centers. Regrettably, much of it is already under contract with developers and/or zoned for residen- tial development -- therefore limiting the scope of pulbic policy intervention that is possible from a "farmland preservation" standpoint. This suggests that developers are the key actors for partnerships to cultivate the types of recommendations and catalyst projects advised for the types of recommendations advsied for the Fields. There was notable pessimism about prospects for inte- grating active farmland with future urban developments. This pessimism appears rooted in the realities of the last twenty years of Greenfield development and urban expansion into the western parts of the Boise Valley. The historic pattern of expansion has been rapid and scattershot, often creating conflicts between farmers and residents who are new to the area. Many agricul- tural production activities are viewed by newcomers as nuisances despite the decades of ownership and active farming in these areas. Ag -based Real Estate Development models that are being pioneered across the country use innovative urban design concepts to balance active agricultural uses with mixed-use development (both residential and commer- cial, and possibly including institutional uses such as schools, etc.). Effective design can mitigate conflicts between rural and urban uses, and encourage a mix of farmland preservation, small-scale farming for local foods, and commercial farming tailored to Meridian's unique climactic assets. Meridian community Focus groups and feedback sessions conducted during the study revealed a strong interest and support for the proposed Strategy and its three key initiatives from residents, local business owners, and city officials. Many acknowledged a need for more diverse entertainment options and a balanced approach to integrating the old with the new. The City appears poised to push for more inclusive, sustainable land use and development policies that would help secure Meridian's future quality of live and attractiveness as a place to live, work and play. The level of interest expressed by diverse community leaders with whom we met demonstrates a high level of willing- ness to support and participate in future implementa- tion efforts. Some Meridian residents who participated in feedback sessions echoed the concerns expressed by farmers about the challenge of integrating active farm uses with residential development. Education about way in which these initiatives differ from traditional real estate developments will be an important element for the City to carry forward, as part of its coalition build- ing to implement these initiatives. Target Industry Analysis Findings Additionally, two sets of analysis were undertaken to identify industry strengths in the Meridian region. First, industries associated with the agriculture "su- percluster" were identified from literature review. A ratings system was developed that took into account major characteristics of each industry locally and nationally, including national growth projection rates. Agriculture industries with the highest performance for Ada County and Treasure Valley were found.These industries are prime targets for incorporation into workforce, entrepreneurship, and business development strategies in the context of the Fields initiative. The results of the first level of analysis are as follows: Additionally, two sets of analysis were undertaken to identify industry strengths in the Meridian region.

Ag Tech: Composite category including research, devel- opment, production, and sales of agricultural machinery, measuring devices, and medical foods. 2. Scientific Research and Development: Original investi- gation or application of research for the creation of new products. 3. Management, Scientific and Technical Consulting Ser- vices: Firms that influence how business, governments, and institutions make decisions by delivering services in the form of knowledge, experience, special skills, or creativity. 4. Boiler, Tank, and Shipping Container Manufacturing: Service Ag Supply chain and transportation needs. 5. Grocery and related product Wholesalers: Non -durable goods wholesalers; in this case, includes distributors of foods and specialized agricultural products. 6. Medical & Diagnostic Laboratories: Providing analytic or diagnostic services to the medical profession. 7. Outpatient Care Centers: Mental Health & Substance Abuse; Family Planning. 8. Other Hospitals: Specialty hospitals; treatment to inpa- tients with a specific type of condition. These industries represent clear examples of the region's core strengths in agriculture, professional services, and healthcare. They reinforce the basic thrust of the strate- gies proposed for the Fields District coupled with those recommended by the Economic Development Audit & Strategy. FIELDS DISTRICT REPORT • 15 Core Themes These Core Themes are high-level statements that help form the base for the Fields Strategies and have been generated by the quantitative and quantitative analysis described above: • The tradition of Agriculture in Meridian and South western Idaho differentiates this area within its State, Regional and U.S. context. Agriculture - oriented activities will continue to serve as a strong base for the Meridian economy for the foreseeable future. • The ability to attract and retain qualified workers is of equal importance as the ability to recruit new companies. • By building on the foundation of a strong initiative for Education / Business Partnerships, there is an opportunity to integrate R & D from the State's universities and its leading companies, and to promote commercialization of new technologies. This will allow Meridian and the Treasure Valley region to evolve from a reliance on its traditional industries and to develop new business opportunities based on emerging technologies. • Strengthening Meridian's entrepreneurial ecosystem and providing strong support to rapidly growing small businesses is key to developing an innovation economy across the entire region • Local leaders must strongly commit to economic development, both in policy making and resource allocation, to reach the long-term goals and opportunities identified by this study. These Core Themes form a basis for the recommenda- tions found in the following pages. 16 ' CITY OF MERIDIAN. IDAHO FIELDS DISTRICT REPORT • 17 Fields District Strategy .................................... 00 E E E 0000000...... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 a Diversify Meridian's economy by cultivating talent, developing an innovation ecosystem, and continuing to improve quality of place to keep and attract talent -- all while building upon its agricultural heritage. Meridian has been described as being located "at the intersection of agriculture and technology." The City of Meridian has a strong economic and cultural heritage in agriculture. Development pressures and structural shifts in the agriculture industry have led to significant declines in agriculture usage in Ada County.At the same time, the Treasure Valley region has become a burgeon- ing center of technology—from its industry growth to talent development programs. Research on Meridian's assets and opportunities was combined with in-depth analysis of this "Ag -Tech" intersection. Agriculture, like most American industries, faces a new frontier where integrating new technology is fundamen- tal to remaining competitive and profitable. Advanced manufacturing and biomedical development are salient examples, but agriculture too has arrived at a nexus merging traditional skills and markets with advanced production and distribution technologies. Robotics, GPS, drones, remote sensors, and modified seeds and crop varieties will be necessary to meet the global demands and adapt to a more chaotic climate. According a recent study by Idaho Business for Education (IBE)... • Idaho has the lowest rate of graduates immediately matriculating after graduation in the country. • Currently only 41% of Idaho workers between 25-34 years old have a work- y ready certificate or higher (only 26% hold at least a Bachelor's degree or higher) • By 2020, 61% of workers will need a certificate or higher at 43% of those worker will need at least a Bachelor's degree The implications for development of the future agricul- tural workforce are tremendous. Today, a work -ready certificate is a bare minimum for high quality employ- ment, and demands for degree -holding workers in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and (advanced) Manufacturing fields are high and growing. This is why the first of our primary recommendations is focused on strengthening partnerships between business and ed- ucational institutions (K-20) to meet industry needs today and to drive innovation further tomorrow.

Communications (IBE,"24 Core Initiative As agriculture continues to embrace and become more integrated with technology, increased opportunities for new services and products are emerging. Two brick - and -mortar initiatives are recommended to meet this demand. • Create an Ag and Technology focused workforce development program that partners education providers and industry.The program's campus will serve as an anchor to the overall innovation eco system. It will directly link high school students to work -ready certificates and associates deg Links to higher education will be incorpon this campus can usher in the next generati 18 ' CITY OF MERIDIAN, IDAHO talent to meet industry's needs and provide com petitive jobs for the short and longer term. Simultaneously, establish "Venture Meridian" as an entrepreneurial incubator that will provide capacity to rapidly conceptualize and launch new business ventures to meet emerging opportunities and demands for agricultural services and products. Designed in tandem, these initiatives are first steps that will lay the foundation for higher level research and development that must be present before resource intensive research facilities and programs can be established. They will establish strong partnerships expediting the steps toward R&D, technology transfer, and commercialization of innovations. A city's investment in an education and innovation in- frastructure is critical for economic development, but it does not guarantee the retention of a skilled work- force, entrepreneurs, and large businesses necessary for long-term growth. Keeping and attracting talent requires holistic planning that augments Meridian's high quality of life with strong "quality of place."This goes beyond investments in downtown or particular projects, referring to the uniqueness, attractiveness, inclusiveness, and connectedness of the built environ- ment.These characteristics are crucial to attracting the next generation of creative talent, as well as resi- dents and workers across the demographic spectrum. One can easily see how innovation as a principle goes hand in hand with thinking about how we use space and the concept of quality of place. Innovation is driven by two unique forces interacting and building something new, better, and different. Quality of place means providing a space for that and the sense that this change is good and welcome! Supporting Initiatives Two additional initiatives are recommended to further diversify the economy, create jobs, and promote desir- able and sustainable land uses. These also serve to improve quality of place by adding amenities, making the area more attractive to existing residents, newcom- ers and visitors: • A hub for agritourism -- a Meridian Ag Experience Center • An Ag -based real estate development strategy Nationally, Agri -tourism is a rapidly growing industry segment. It is tightly linked to learning about local food culture and developing an understanding of local culture and heritage. Regionally, agricultural and rural tourism amenities abound and Meridian has a great opportunity to position itself as a central hub or take -off point for exploring these cultural assets by creating an Ag -Expe- riential Tourism Destination. The last initiative is the Ag -based real estate develop- ment model: an approximately 500 acre development planned after the same design principles of a golf - course community, with active food production and lo- cal -food focused amenities as the central feature among a clustered residential and mixed-use development. Together these initiatives can strongly enhance the Quality of Place in Meridian.They will make major contributions to economic fundamentals in terms of workforce and entrepreneurial infrastructure. They will also add considerable value to existing real estate and generate attractive amenities for existing and prospec- tive city residents.They will help cultivate, retain, and attract the young, creative, technically -sophisticated workforce of tomorrow while serving Meridian's resi- dents today. A "Next Steps" sectionfollows these Catalysts and Strategies. It is important to remember that economic development is not a sprint, it is a marathon. Leaders must keep a long-range perspective in mind: adopting this Strategy is only the first step in a long-term economic development pro- gram for the City of Meridian that will involve every department of the City. STRATEGY AT -A -GLANCE To drive the Fields District strategy forward, the consultant team recommends that the City pursue three separate, but related and mutually reinforcing catalytic initiatives detailed below in the recommendations section. Implementation should be staged / phased and coordinated among the three: 1. Ag Innovation Campus where regional educational institutions will partner with business community to create a specialized campus to strength- en the K-20 pipeline to satisfy current and future employment demand inl<eyoccupationsandsl<illssets. Richland Community College & Agribusiness Corridor M V 2. Agritourism Development that will position Meridian as a jumping off point for exploring regional ag-heritage & cultural tourism amenities by the creation of an Ag -Experience Center.

Ag -Based Real Estate Development for which the City partners with developers to create a diversified mixed- use neighbohood built around an organic, community -supported farm. Using premier urban design elements will create a harmoni- // ;'/�ous environment at the rural -urban interface. ,V,''�� �T 20 ' CITY OF MERIDIAN. IDAHO Recommendation 1: ESTABLISH AN AGRICULTURAL -FOCUSED TALENT DEVELOPMENT AND INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE Context: An innovative community builds institutions and culti- vates a culture open to and supportive of experimenta- tion, education and skills development, and new con- cepts and techniques. This type of high-growth climate cannot be developed ad hoc; rather, it depends on a long process of investing in human capital and relationships. An economically vibrant community depends on an eco- system of agents and organizations, working towards incremental improvement of the local business climate. The first "rung" on the ladder of resilient local growth is the cultivation and retention of high -skill, talented workers in a range of technical and managerial fields. The talent development sphere is the "engine" for deepening skills specialization and industry advance- ment. As the skilled workforce and entrepreneurial communities grow, with constant cooperation with established companies, local investment will increase. This provides the base necessary for industry growth, research and development, and technology commercial- ization that yields major growth in high-quality jobs. The first step on this path to substantial industry devel- opment is the cultivation of a pool of workers matching the skill sets demanded by regional industry, and tying that pool to entrepreneurial programs industry target- ing initiatives.

IDAHO Recommendation 2: CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE AGRI-TOURISM STRATEGY CENTERED ON MERIDIAN AS THE "AG -DESTINATION HUB OF THE TREASURE Context: Though farmland loss is occurring nation-wide, the magnitude of this trend in Ada County cannot be over- stated. In the last five years Ada County has seen a loss of farmland greater than that of the previous 15 years! It is a critical time, when more political will must be harnessed to change or mitigate the rolling tide into the Greenfield.

Agri -Tourism can be thought of as "experiential tour- ism"— that is, tourism that is less passive and focused on interacting with the local way of life or environment. While once considered a niche market, it is becoming a major industry segment and is the fastest growing form of tourism in the world. Agri -Tourism is focused on learning about and experiencing farming and agricul- tural recreation. It is inherently regional and it relies entirely on local authenticity—linked to an area's local food culture. Agri -Tourism as a form of recreation can be traced back to the 1800s when the city gentry would visit pastoral landscapes to escape the summer swelter of urban areas. More recently it has become commercial- ized, with some parts of the world almost totally reli- ant on this for economic vitality. Treasure Valley has the soil quality to support nearly 200 different types of agricultural products.This kind of diversity can be featured and build a greater appreciation of local resi- dents for the rareness and fragility of this landscape. The multiple elements of the overall Agri -Tourism strategy should fit within the framework of Meridian's Economic Development Strategic Plan, and should be mutually reinforcing with other economic development and Fields District recommendations. Agriculture and Agri -Tourism should be included as key elements in the city's future economic development and comprehen- sive planning efforts. This recommendation includes a signature initiative but its success is very much linked to an understanding of the region's cultural heritage. It is a jumping off point to experiencing the unique agriculture heritage of the Treasure Valley. It is the "first tier" attraction to a wide array of cultural assets a a 3 and experiences. Tourism is often seasonal and can be cyclical, but its limitations do not mean it should be ignored.Tourism can generate sales tax, seasonal employment and ameni- ties for locals, and visibility to attract new residents and talent.This initiative will create a deeper sense of place, will have local and regional benefits, and will build ad- ditional support for Meridian's other initiatives in the ED Audit/Action Plan, including highway expansion. It will be important for planning groups to adequately represent the interests of all stakeholders in Agri -Tourism develop- ment. Agri -Tourism Details Sub classifications: ecotourism, garden tourism, guest ranches, wine tourism, dairy tourism, and rural tour- ism (related to experiencing the lifestyle of living in the country, its culture, religion, and building an ethnograph- ic understanding of rural human activity) Market: The largest market segment for Agri -Tourism is Baby Boomers followed by Mil lennials, though these types of activities are typically friendly to all age groups. The PLACE is the product, and all the related experi- ences native to the place. By 2020, US/Canadian Baby Boomers (between ages 55 to 74) will number over 84 million.They are the most affluent and educated genera- tion of retirees in the history of either country.They are Left and Below: Kiyokawa Family Orchard, Parkdale, OR Apple picking and Slow Food Feast 800 600 400 200 A FIELDS DISTRICT REPORT • 23 Total Value of Agritourism Recreational Services on Farmland in the US (in millions) 2002 2007 2012 Source: US Agriculture Censusl sophisticated travelers interested in more than conven- tional attractions. They seek an experience and a sense of place. Recommendation 2A. Convene local stakeholders as a Meridian Agri -Tourism Steering Committee to carry out strategic planning and guide implementation efforts • Before major initiatives are pursued, strategic planning must provide the staging ground. • Because Agri -Tourism is naturally a regional initiative, Meridian needs to organize locally to ensure that products and outcomes of developing regional tourism can be directly linked to local efforts. • The City should lead an effort to convene interested developers, land owners, the Chamber of Commerce (the lead organiza tion for Tourism marketing), and a cross- section of the community in strategic planning.The Committee will create a strategy plan and bylaws for the purpose of placing Meridian as a hub (not an all-inclu sive environment or stand-alone attraction) for exploring Agri -Tourism and cultural heritage in the region.The region's Agri - Tourism development thereby becomes a mutually enforcing effort: the more that the region's agriculture base is improved, preserved, and made amenable to tourists and locals, Meridian's centrality and prominence will rise. Recommendation 2B. Convene regional Agri -Tourism stakeholders to form aTreasure Valley Regional Agri - Tourism entity (Note: these recommendations are well -supported by the University of Idaho College report on Agri -Tourism at the Rural -Urban Inter 24 • CITY OF MERIDIAN.

Meridian could position itself as the ideal location for the fairground's relocation the potential to be come a "Southwest Idaho" State Fair. Recommendation #2C: Create a high profile, Ag -fo- cused "destination attraction" in Meridian that provides a unique and complementary amenity for the Boise and Treasure Valley region. • Provide a visitor experience that appeals both to existing residents as a weekend, sea- sonal or occasional activity; with sufficient National Wine Tourism Site, Bitner Vineyards, Part of the Sunny Slope Wine Trail scale and critical mass to provide a draw for visitors from beyond the region, or those who are "passing through" but seeking an expanded range of tourist offerings. • Purpose: tourism amenities for the city, educating the region about the unique as sets of the valley and the need to preserve them, develop an interest in ag and local food culture • Build on precedents / models for such a "destination attraction" from other states such as Oregon, Indiana, Kentucky and Texas • The City of Meridian should not lead the planning process but should be a part of the strategic planning entity and assist in implementation by way of partnerships and fast-track permitting.

VALLEY" Context Ada County lost 25% of its farmland from 2007 to 2012. Canyon County lost 50% of its farmland from 1992 to 2007. Much of the land in Meridian city limits that used to be farmland has been converted to subdivi- sions which have provided needed housing in the region. The price of land in Meridian has increased substan- tially as these "greenfield" sites for new subdivisions become scarce amidst the incredible population growth in the region. Stakeholder interviews revealed that prices of farmland were $5,000/acre in 1990 and are now well above $100,000/acre. As farmers in the Ada/Canyon County area age, and the next generation is not interested in taking on the farms, the offers from developers that farmers are receiving are appealing. By most accounts, a majority of the land in Ada County (some of which will become part of the City of Meridian through annexation) has already been "spoken for" by developers who have rights -to -purchase contracts for these lands. Very little water or sewer exists in the Fields Dis- trict; urban development would require significant infrastructure investment. This area and the Ten -Mile vicinity to the south, can benefit from the wastewater reclamation project of the City of Meridian, and re- ceive reclaimed water at reduced or free prices. As a result of the need that developers will have for infrastructure in the Fields area, and with the inter- est the City has in preserving agricultural heritage, the City should embrace a program to foster a new type of subdivision called we term as an Ag -based land development. This is not a new concept. This type of hamlet development is an Old World development pat- tern brought from Europe where homes are clustered, agricultural land is preserved and commercial services are walkable to residents. Development scholar at the Urban Land Institute, Ed McMahon stated that as of 2012 there are close to 200 of such developments currently exist in the United States, and many are in planning or under develop - Illustrative examples of how to gradually Integrate urbani and rural uses through a land development code that applies a "transect"model. 2 Left: General Transect Models Below: Transect -based Land Plan for Southlands, Tsawwassen, BC, Canada �_J _ l ' 6. a 28 ' CITY OF MERIDIAN. IDAHO ment. The concept is simple: cluster homes; substitute a community garden in place of a large recreational ame- nity such as a golf course; and make the commercial services walkable to most residents. Nearly every US case has been examined for the Fields District Strategy and the three that are most relevant for Meridian are presented on this and the following pages. The following recommendations are not in a particu- lar order, and in fact several should be done concur- rently and are complimentary to each other. Recommendation 3A. Grow Meridian Sustainably • Consultants compared the Ag -based Land Development model to a traditional residential subdivision (see pg 30-31), based on the impact both developments would have on the city's budget over ten years. This fiscal impact analysis used per capita and per square foot values for local public expenditures and tax receipts for the different land uses represented in each model. • The Ag -based Land Development model would contribute a much larger surplus to Meridian over ten years than a traditional development. The net present value of the Ag -based Land Development surplus is $623,635, compared to $453,487 for the traditional development, an increase of almost 40%. • The Ag -based Land Development is a smart investment for the region: it preserves active farm land (30% of the total acreage), promotes housing market diversity, facilitates more walking and biking, and generates more value per acre for both developers and the city. • The City should establish and use a Fiscal Impact Analysis Model for all developments, as a matter of policy • Maintaining to the City's 10 -year and then Annual CIP will save the City and its taxpayers millions over a 10 -year period. • City should establish and maintain an approval, permit and utility outlay system that maintains to the City's Comprehensive Plan and Capital Improvements Plan • The City should actively market its green and sustainable initiatives including this Fields Initiative, and also the Water Reclamation project with the city's wastewater treatment facility. E/�S Recommendation 3B. Convene a stakeholders work- ing group comprised of developers, landowners, plan- ners, bankers brokers and builders. • The City needs to lead this initiative with support from the County and other associations and appropriate stakeholder support. • City should hold several in-house/staff only sessions with experts to determine how best Meridian can and should execute this concept. • Develop a true model for an Ag -based land development that addresses every aspect from the public and private side that can be identified • Create a presentation that clearly articulates the vision and the benefits • Create an outreach strategy and "buzz" about this concept, before advertising a discussion or meeting about this concept. This can help developers see the buzz and interest among the community. • Bring together interested parties to discuss the model that Meridian will be fostering, including: developers, landowners, planners, bankers, brokers, and builders. • The goal is to educate, create excitement and generate marketing exposure regionally and nationally for what Meridian is trying to do Recommendation 3C. Create a Land Use mechanism to foster Ag -based Real estate development(s) • The current Future Land Use Map and Plan and Zoning Map and Plan may accommodate Ag -based development.An internal staff team should determine what changes (if any need to be made) • If staff determines that current code may not ac- commodate this innovative development patter, then the City should examine modifications would be necessary. • Consideration to a form -based code should be given. If not for the whole City, form -based code could be a good mechanism for the Fields District. The form -based code will provide the predicable environment the community and the development community seek. • Some of the ag-based development proposals may best be implemented through the use of a public- private finance mechanism called a Community Improvement District (CID), as was done in Boise with the Harris Ranch development. Recommendation 3D. Work with a developer to create a Model Ag -based real estate development in Meridian • Through the course of implementing 3A above, some will be more interested than others. • Meridian should identify 1-2 developers who have the most interest and who have site control to work with to create a model. • Visit several of these Case Study sites together, visiting with the developers and the public entities involved. • Work with the developer(s) to create conceptual and then site plans for a model. • Once implemented perform evaluations and impact analyses to determine the net impacts.

IDAHO F� ISCal Impact Analysis of Development Types Source: Anne Wescott, Idaho Smart Growth; Pegasus Planning and Development, June 2014 Methodology The fiscal impact model estimates marginal costs and revenues for the City's General Fund that would change as a result of a proposed development. The model applies them to projected new development on a per unit or per square foot basis, and compares them to estimated net new revenues.To the extent that actual revenues and expenditures vary from the estimates provided within these interviews, the results of the model will vary from reality.The model is designed to illustrate the potential fiscal impact of new development, but it is not anticipated that the impacts estimated in the model will precisely mirror those that actually occur. Developments that generate ongoing surpluses produce City revenues that exceed the costs of the services they require. These excess revenues could be used to offset deficits from other developments, to augment the City's fund balance, or to improve service standards. Developments that produce ongoing deficits require service costs in excess of the revenues they generate.These deficits could be offset by surpluses from other developments, they could be mitigated out of fund balance, they could be mitigated by the developer, or they could require the City to decrease service levels. PROJECTED NEW RESIDENTIAL UNITS OR NON-RESIDENTIAL YS a W Aga Aga A A CURRENT MARGINAL COSTS & REVENUES (PER RESIDENTIAL UNIT OR NON-RESIDENTIAL SQUARE FOOT) NEW CITY COSTS & REVENUES, Assumptions The calculations in the fiscal model are based on two sets of assumptions: • Assumptions about the size, type and value of the proposed development to be analyzed by the model; and • Assumptions about the service delivery patterns of City functions, including the expenditures that are variable in regards to growth and the types of development that cause increases in those expenditures. Development Assumptions Two pieces of information are required about a projected development in order to calculate its likely fiscal impact: • The development schedule for each projected residential unit type or non-residential land -use; and, • The property value of each unit type or land -use. The fiscal impact model for the proposed development is designed to assess the four land -use types proposed: residen- tial, office, retail, and farmland development. The Development Land Use Assumptions chart summarizes the assump- tions which we have used the fiscal model to analyze. This data can be modified to represent changes in land use assumptions in the proposed development, or land uses in any future development under consideration in the City of Meridian.

Commercial uses and green space are limited. Transportation is focused on automobiles, and neighbor- hood design limits the practicality of walking, biking, or using transit services. Large amounts of space are taken up for housing, putting development pressure on adjacent farmland. AG -FOCUSED REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT This type of development features a strong mix of commercial and agricultural uses. There is a greater diversity of housing types, including multiple sizes of single-family home and some apartments and townhomes near the development core. Retail and office space is integrated into urban design and helps create a distinct "center." Urban Q design makes it practical and enjoyable to walk, bike instead of rely exclusively on automobiles. Substantial farmland and greenspace are preserved, serving both local residents and commercial markets into perpetuity. Net Fiscal Impact: Traditional vs.Ag-Based Real Estate Development Surplus Net Present Value Cumulative Surplus Commercial Surplus Residential Surplus $0 $400,000 $800,000 $1,000,000 Ag -Based Development Source Anne WexnD,Idaho Smart G,00vd; _Pegasus PNnning and De+elopmenl, June 2014 Traditional Development Results Two real estate development models were considered in terms of their fiscal impact for the city of Meridian. One model is a conventional residential subdivision, comprised of moderate and low density single family housing. The second mod- el is an ag-focused real estate development, modeled according to best practices and based on case studies of existing communities around the country (in particular, in the West).These models were analyzed in terms of the expenditures they require from Meridian city services, and the revenues they generate in local taxes.This analysis included review of city budgets, determination of fixed and variable costs for city departments, adjustments based on local property mar- kets, and projection of tax value over a ten year period. The results show a dramatic fiscal benefit to the ag-based real estate development. Despite preserving a third of its land for agriculture and providing a host of amenity and health benefits, the ag-based real estate development generates over $170,000 more net surplus than the traditional development on the same acreage. This equates to a fiscal of almost �� 40% for the city of Meridian. This analysis demonstrates that ag-based real estate development is a smart development model for Meridian. 1� OCase Study: Bucking Horse, Fort Collins, CO This is development located in a highly urbanized area designed with a "modern farmhouse aesthetic." The project is guided by the principles of ag-heritage, healthy living, and a social connectivity. From the developer: "We want to return to a time 50 years ago when there was a sense of community."This idea goes right down to their design principles. While the architectural styles of the homes is very flexible, all homes will sit on smaller lots, have large front porches, and no privacy gates.

Right: Restoration plans for farm -to -table Restaurant Next Steps .............................................................. The Fields District recommendations contained in this report represent an ambitious strategy -- one that once implemented will differentiate Meridian within the Treasure Valley region, within the State of Idaho and across the northwestern United States. It positions Meridian as an innovative City, one led by innovative leaders, that is able to integrate community develop- ment, economic development and land planning in a manner that is fiscally sustainable and respects commu- nity values and culture. The Fields District Strategy's three major initiatives —Ag -Innovation Campus for Talent Development and Industry Partnerships, Agri -Tourism, and Ag -based Real Estate Development— build upon the foundation already set in place by Meridian's leaders. All of the catalyst initiatives found within this Fields Strategy have been incorporated into an overall Economic Development Strategy for the City of Meridian, which has more detail in the Next Steps than does this Fields Strategy. The building blocks for the Talent Development and Innovation initiative have the potential to serve as link- ages to the elements of the Ag -tourism initiative. An Ag -based Real Estate Development initiative in Merid- ian can provide a solution that is market -supported and will allow Meridian to promote itself to the creative class. These initiatives can stand alone on their own merits, but as an integrated strategy will help Meridian diversify its economy and position itself in the region as the "Intersection of Technology and Agriculture". FIELDS DISTRICT REPORT • 33 Next steps that the City of Meridian needs to take to implement the Fields District Strategy include: • City Council adoption of the Fields District Strategy • Focus on implementation of these Fields initiatives through the Economic Development Strategy (sepa rate document) and an "implementation roadmap" also found in the Economic Development Strategy • Communicate with partners and stakeholders on steps Meridian will take to move these initiatives forward.This should entail a sophisticated education and public relations campaign on the Fields Strategy and Economic Development Strategy. Key to this campaign will be identification and buy -in of Meridian -based and regional private sector • Create Organizational Structures for catalyst projects and develop Business Plans for the Fields Initiatives Lead and participate in a more detailed occupational and industry analysis City Council adoption of a Resolution which designates the Economic Development Strategy as a policy document for incorporation within the City's business strategy 34 • CITY OF MERIDIAN.

Infrasmicture investments, incentives such as fee waivers, marketing collateral to bring atten- tion to Meridian - all of these are forms of economic development. .............................................................. Over the past three decades, the City of Meridian ex- perienced a rate of population and employment growth that would be considered exceptional for any U.S. city. Furthermore, the regional dynamics that fueled this There is truth in the saying, "If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got". Growth is an indicator of success, but it frequently is accompa- nied by significant costs or growing pains. In the face of rapid growth suggest that the City and regional trajec- these, adopting a philosophy of actively managing the tory is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. City's growth through strategic investments and policies Forecasts by Compass, the region's transportation planning agency, strongly support this assumption. Given these trends, Meridian's governmental and civic leaders therefore face a critical inflection point. The question before them is not"will Meridian grow?" but rather "how will Meridian grow?"Above all, can Meridian's leaders proactively shape an economic development strategy that will promote the type of growth its citizens' desire? This Economic Development Audit and Strategy is a response to that question. It charts a path toward sustainable growth by focusing on diversification of the City's economy and recommendations to strengthen Meridian's entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem. In 1990, Meridian was a rural community of approxi- mately 10,000 people. Its current population of 80,000 is projected to climb to at least 100,000 by 2020. The City abuts Boise and is now the 3rd largest municipality in Idaho. Meridian's economic base has diversified through growth in the healthcare and retail sectors, in addition to a burgeoning office sector. Meridian has accomplished this remarkably rapid expansion with just one staff person (FTE) formally designated to carry out the City's economic develop- ment agenda, and with a budget that is half that committed by cities half its size. However, as other communities have found, managing a community's growth strategically --to direct it in specific directions versus merely reacting to events and external dynamics -- may require additional personnel resources, and most likely different skill sets than those that have worked well in the past. represents an opportunity for continued improvement. In seeking to address Meridian's current realities and opportunities, this Economic Development Strategy is built on the following key findings from the Economic Audit: • City revenues (to provide essential services) are too dependent on growth of the retail sector; the economic base is not sufficiently diversified. • There is insufficient collaboration among business/ education/workforce providers • Despite strong population growth, the community is not especially appealing to"Millennials"—a key demographic for businesses, particularly in sectors such as technology. PEGASUS 8 • City of Meridian, Idaho • Past "Qua lity of Place" investments have been focused largely on the needs and activities of families, and need to be broadened to appeal to all demographics. • There is a lack of identifiable tourism assets and companion tourism marketing initiatives. • Farmland in the region is facing increasing pressure from suburban development, threatening key economic and cultural assets. • Insufficient programs, capabilities and resources are committed to developing the community's entre- preneurial and innovation ecosystems. • To sustain Meridian's future business competitiveness and quality of life, there is a need for targeted and proactive economic development efforts supported by additional resources. The following Catalyst Projects therefore are designed to jumpstart implementation of this Strategy: 1 4. Ag Innovation Campus: Create a campus setting where the regions' educational institutions (K-20) can partner with the Agribusiness and farming community to strengthen the talent pipeline matched to key occupations and skill requirements emerging in Agricultural -related industries; the Campus may also function as a center for academic -industry collaboration on research and technology commercialization. Agritourism Development: Establish an "Ag Experience Center" that positions Meridian as a hub and jumping off point for visitors to explore the region's Ag -heritage and Agri -Tourism amenities. Ag -based Real Estate Development ("Agrarian Urbanism"): Partner with developers to create diversified mixed-use neighborhoods built around an organic, community -supported farm. Cutting edge urban design elements will create a harmonious environment at the rural -urban interface. Downtown Conference Center: Develop a multi- purpose performing arts and events venue to serve business needs and community desires for a wider range of local entertainment and meeting options, in the heart of Meridian. The center should provide an active space with at least 18 -hour entertainment options. 5. Venture Meridian: Establish a robust entrepre- neurship program in the heart of Downtown Meridian to create an engine for growth through start-up activity, increase the day -time population downtown, and to plant the flag for entrepreneur- ship as a signature element of Meridian's new "corporate culture" and brand. Ideally partnered with a regional entity that has a proven track record for commercializing research and innovative new business ideas. The Catalyst Projects outlined above will be integrated with the following six recommended Strategies: 1. Talent and Innovation Ecosystem 2. Entrepreneurship and Small Business 3. Tourism Development 4. Land Use, Infrastructure and Transportation 5. Downtown 6. Quality of Place The Audit revealed that Meridian has done an excellent job of supporting the needs of its businesses and resi- dents, which has allowed it to attain its current level of economic and population growth. However, this Strategic Plan is focused on the future. It will build upon existing community assets and the outstanding past work of City leaders and staff. And, while its recommendations are designed to support future policy direction and leadership by the City of Meridian, it should also be considered a guiding road- map for the City's key partners in the economic devel- opment enterprise, including the Meridian Chamber of Commerce, Meridian Development Corporation, and the Boise Valley Economic Partnership. All of these (and possibly other) public and private sector stakeholders must play a role in implementing these recommendations, even as the City provides essential leadership and support to the economic development process. 7A Nt� IS MISSED BY'MOST PEOPLE.. --v?

MERIDIAN"S LEADERS MUST KEEP A LONG-RANGE PERSPECTIVE IN MIND: ADOPTING THIS STRATEGY IS ONLY THE FIRST STEP IN A LONG-TERM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR THE CITY OF MERIDIAN. io • City of Meridian, Idaho Background .................................... 0 a a a 00...... 0 a 000000000000 In January 2014, the City of Meridian contracted with Pegasus Planning and Development to perform an Audit of the City's current economic development policies and practices, and to use the Audit as a basis to develop an Economic Development Strategy.This report summarizes the findings from the Audit and provides a Strategy/Roadmap that will help Meridian leaders diversify its economy with a more sophisticated and proactive approach to economic development. Multiple organizations are involved in Meridian's economic development efforts, including the Chamber of Commerce, Meridian Development Corporation and Boise Valley Economic Partnership. All of these groups work effectively with each other but many efforts take place in silos, without a game plan for how respective efforts work with one another, and what is the ultimate game plan. As one stakeholder said, "we are not all on the same sheet of music." Recognizing the need to have a collective strategy for all groups and a targeted and proactive approach to economic development, City leaders began a process internally of auditing some of their programs as it re- lates to economic development. This process is just the beginning. Given the scope of this project, stakeholders must realize that more work and resources are needed for successful implementation. Methodology & Findings .............................................................. The economic development Audit for Meridian utilized 3 Qualitative Analysis Overview levels of inquiry: literature review, qualitative research, The City of Meridian has been successful in provid- and quantitative analysis. ing excellent quality of life amenities such as parks, high performing schools and a safe environment, while Literature review involved a thorough investigation still maintaining a "small-town feel" among residents. into existing reports, city planning studies and policy Many interviewees noted the community is "a great documents. The qualitative methodology used a mix of place to raise a family" and recent national rankings stakeholder input methods to integrate the perspec- tives and expertise of community members with those of governmental, institutional and business leaders. The quantitative analysis examined relevant demographic and economic variables, regional industries, and occupa- tional employment trends. More details on the details of our analysis can be found in the Appendix seciton. The approach utilizes these inputs and integrates them within this action plan, while prioritizing the goals of the City of Meridian. Figure 1 illustrates the general rnic development areas examined during the Audit. I findings are as follows: confirm the statement. The City serves the region as an affordable place to live that is centrally located. People value that it is "far enough" from the big -city life of Boise and that despite its rapid growth, it is still a great home environment. Echoing these general findings, large employers in the area are happy with their location in Meridian and a majority of businesses stated their primary reasons for locating there were (1) proximity to consumers and suppliers, and (2) qual- ity of life. Large businesses like working with the City and feel they have a good relationship with City staff and officials. Workforce Limitations Whether created locally or recruited, businesses and industry representatives noted the need for a more Figure 1: Components of the Economic Development Audit y NI Economic Development Audit & Action Plan • 11 skilled workforce or for better programs geared to "re- skilling"or"up-skilling"the workforce. This need was particularly acute among agribusinesses. Businesses noted both in-person and via survey that there are opportunities to improve education -industry collaboration. Business Needs Meridian has a strong large business base, but there is a need to build and continue to establish a stronger tool kit of entrepreneurial support resources. Small businesses need assistance in understanding permitting processes and are in great need of technical assistance and training on a consistent basis. While the City's creation of a Small Business Coordinator will specifically addresses capacity needs in understanding the permitting process, additional technical assistance in the areas of business and financial management is needed. The City has strong business parks and office develop- ment, all of which are privately -owned and operated. The exception is a facility (the former City Hall) that has been retrofitted as incubator space downtown. Light Source: Pegasus Planning and Development Industrial space exists and continues to be built, but land and lease prices are higher in Meridian than in other neighboring communities, prices are not competitive with surrounding communities to the west or near the airport. However, the lease/price differential is mitigated when including other ancillary costs and permitting, Meridian still remains competitive for certain types of manufacturing and servicing aspects of the regions supply chain.The lack of a large meeting venue presents a challenge to the business community, and to local residents in search of a greater array of entertainment options. Growing Infrastructure Problems Traffic congestion in the valley was noted as a significant challenge to the City's quality of life and competitiveness as a business location. Long commutes on highways and congestion in local arterial roads are a major frustration for residents. The City has carried out an excellent water reclamation project in Western Meridian, north of the Interstate and impacting the Fields and the 10 -Mile area. Improvements and expanded infrastructure will yield economic benefits for the City. PES GASES iz • City of Meridian, Idaho A comprehensive utility policy is needed to capitalize on these and similar infrastructure investments. Designating targeted development zones can also aid in promoting development patterns that reduce costs and better utilizing the existing infrastructure currently in place. N 2 N'S IL I tj East -bound traffic, 1-84 and Ten Mile Interchange Under -developed Downtown The success of downtown is a critical element to the overall success of the City. Strengthening downtown was consistently recommended by the business community. Many also noted that the City retail environment is dominated by chain restaurants and retailers, business survey respondents would like to see more local, independent businesses. Within the City of Meridian,The Village has been a great success, though there is still pent-up demand for more entertainment and variety of "things to do" for people of diverse backgrounds and stages of life. This has been ac- knowledged by area leadership, and there is already momentum to shift this. Expectations of the develop- ment community focus on working within a predictable City process while understanding how to leverage the investment that will be occurring on adjacent parcels. A fine grain downtown implementation plan is needed to demonstrate the commitment by the City. Main Street, Downtown Meridian 0 Unfocused Identity While the City has grown with exceptional rapidity in the last two decades, diversification is now a concern — diversity of housing, entertainment, jobs and industries are all issues the City must now focus on to ensure its future economic and human vitality. Meridian sometimes appears to be challenged by misperceptions held by residents from the surrounding region. The City is seen by some from outside the community as having a high crime rate, despite the reality of being a very safe, family-oriented community. Regional residents cite as a weakness the perception that there are limited entertainment options (beyond shopping), and a distinctive cultural presence is lacking. A widespread belief exists that the school system as a whole is weak. Consultant's research indicates that some disparity among schools exists—Meridian School District No. 2 produces some of the best and brightest young minds coming into the Treasure Valley workforce, and its programs are exceptional by national standards. However, pockets of rural and urban poverty do ex- ist within the City boundaries and these are reflected by some data. In general, Meridian's regional image is lower than it should be, given its otherwise strong economic and cultural assets. Agriculture is a part of the area's heritage and identity, and represents an opportunity for branding that has the potential to resonate with both long-time community residents and transplants. While agriculture remains a fundamental aspect of Meridian's civic identity and of its economy, agricultural production will continue to decline in the area unless aggressive steps are taken vis-a-vis the Idaho legal context as it relates to agricultural land preservation. (E.g. through local zon- ing and land use policies, innovative easement pro- grams, and/or the scheduling of infrastructure investments.) Efforts to preserve agriculture as a viable sector of the economy will remain a challenge for years to come. Preserving Meridian's ag-heritage as a core competency of the region, however, is feasible, as is pursuing ag-related target industries in the technology sphere. Economic Development Structure and Partners The City of Meridian has one full-time employee focused on economic development and special projects. The Mayor is also actively involved in economic development and special projects. The economic development budget for Meridian is half that of cities similar in size in Idaho. While the City does well in strengthening some key industries, it devotes fewer resources than other cities of comparable size. Competing at the level of the region while continuing to make additional improvements will require added capacity. Consultant's recommendations will require additional capacity to implement signature projects and initiatives. Given the additional economic development focus the City will be undertaking, at least one additional employee should be budgeted, in addition to more resources for marketing and implementing key Economic Development Strategies. Quantitative Analysis Overview The demographic, economic, occupation and industry analysis revealed several key quantifiable issues that have bearing on Meridian's economic success. These were discussed in detail throughout the project, and all data analysis is found in the Appendix. The points below are the most relevant to the Economic Development Strategy. 80 60 40 20 Economic Development Audit & Action Plan • 13 Missing Demographic Most of the growth Meridian has seen has been among families— so, children and 35-45 year old populations have grown substantially, while the Millennials (25-35) have not chosen to move or stay in Meridian, see Figure 2. One could speculate that there is not enough to do in Meridian for this demographic (entertainment choices, urban living, bicycle mobility), but the fact remains that Meridian must become more appealing to this very important demographic. In the next 5-10 years they will comprise the largest portion of the American work- force. Growth within State Impacts Talent Pool Much of Meridian's and the region's growth is migration from within the state and NW US. Several of Meridian's competitors, however, get most of their growth from either natural birth (Salt Lake City) or international migration (Seattle, Portland). The impacts of this for Meridian and Idaho is that unlike the international cities, Meridian's employers will rely on the workforce that has been raised in Idaho and the NW, and consequently, their labor force skills are weak — due to Idaho's poor educational attain- ment levels and poorly funded workforce programs. This issue begs the need to improve the local work- force -business collaboration. Figure 2.

Every indicator examined as part of this project points to a much higher cost for all uses in Meridian than in Nampa and Caldwell. Those two neighboring communities have also experienced a significant amount more absorption of industrial space than Meridian; while Meridian has experienced a much higher absorption of retail and office space. Industry Targets The Target Industry analysis revealed that Meridian is strong in several sectors but lacks diversity among its businesses. These recommended target industries should be considered in light of the Fields District initiatives and overall economic development efforts, including workforce development and entrepreneurship programs. 111 Ag Tech: Composite category including research, development, production, and sales of agricultural machinery, measuring devices, and medical foods. Scientific Research and Development: Original investigation or application of research for the creation of new products. Management, Scientific and Technical Consulting Services: Firms that influence how business, governments, and institutions make decisions by delivering services in the form of knowledge, experience, special skills, or creativity. 4. Boiler,Tank,and Shipping Container Manufacturing: Service Ag Supply chain and transportation needs. 5. Grocery and related product Wholesalers: Non- durable goods wholesalers; in this case, this includes distributors of foods and specialized agricultural products. 6. Medical & Diagnostic Laboratories: Providing analytic or diagnostic services to medical profession. 7. Outpatient Care Centers: Mental Health & Substance Abuse; Family Planning. 8. Other Hospitals: Specialty hospitals; treatment to inpatients with a specific type of condition. These industries are clear examples of the region's core strengths in agricultural development, professional services, and medical provision. Agriculture's role in the regional economy is of particular importance, and its cultivation will require continued efforts into new innovative contexts and applications. However, all of these target industries will provide a basket of economic development benefits Oe.jobs, property tax, sales tax) to the Meridian region. This reinforces their importance in the context of the economic development catalysts and strategies described in this report.

DIVERSIFY THE ECONOMY BY CULTIVATING TALENT, DEVELOPING AN INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM, AND CONTINUING TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF PLACE TO KEEP AND ATTRACT TALENT. This Economic Development Strategy follows an extensive Audit. The Strategy is focused on detailing steps to implement five (5) Catalyst Projects and six (6) Recommendations. five CATALYST INITIATIVES 1. Ag Innovation Campus: Regional educational institutions can partner with the business community to create a specialized campus to strengthen the K-20 pipeline to satisfy current and future employment demand in key occupations and skills sets. 2. Agritourism Development: Positioning Meridian as a jumping off point for exploring regional ag-heritage & cultural tourism amenities by the creation of an Ag -Experience Center. 3. Ag -focused Real Estate Development: Foster diversified mixed-use neighborhood built around a community -supported farm. 4. Downtown Conference Center: A performing arts and events center to service business needs and community desires for more at-home entertainment options, placed in the heart of the community. 5. Venture Meridian: Placing a BSU-managed entrepreneurship facility in the heart of Downtown Meridian to create an engine for growth through start-up activity, increase day -time population downtown, and link entrepreneurship to the Economic Development Audit S six RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Talent & Innovation Ecosystem Cultivation: Leveraging education - business collaborations, talent development, and entrepreneurship to establish a foundation for making Meridian a capital for high-end research & commercialization activity. 2. Business Expansion: Improving small business, entrepreneurship, and retention and expansion services. Meridian will have increased capacity to pursue target industries, and local economic development organizations will partner with the City to comprehensively address needs for businesses of a variety of sizes industries. 3. Tourism: Providing more and better entertainment options for locals and tourists from a diversity of life -stages and lifestyles. These efforts will also rely heavily on existing regional amenities and establishing Meridian as the hub for Treasure Valley tourism. 4. Land Use, Transportation and Infrastructure: Improving Meridian residents' connectivity within the City and to the surrounding valley through a combination of highway trails, and bil<e infrastructure expansion. Leveraging existing wastewater infrastructure in underdeveloped areas (such as the Ten Mile Interchange) is also an important opportunity. Using infrastructure as a manner of promoting sustainable economic development of Meridian. 5. Downtown: Strengthening the heart of culture and community for the City by improving the public realm, increasing downtown employment and activity, and promoting a strong independent business base for the neighborhood. 6. Quality of Place: Making Meridian's place -based assets attractive, inclusive, and competitive. Sending signals that Meridian has something new, better, and different to offer the valley's talent base. A "Next Steps" section follows these Catalysts and Strategies. It is important to remember that economic development is not a sprint. Economic Development is a marathon, so keep a long -ranged per- spective in mind, and understand that adopting this Strategy and implementing the Recommendations within are the first step in a longer term Economic Development Program for the City of Merid- ian that will involve every department of the City.

Meridian -Boise Regional Ag Innovation Ecosystem Phase 33 Phase 1 Phase 2 Source: Pegasus Planning and Development The first" rung" on the ladder of resilient local growth is the cultivation and retention of high -skill, talented workers in a range of technical and managerial fields. The talent development sphere is the "engine" for deep- ening skills specialization and industry advancement. As the skilled workforce and entrepreneurial communi- ties grow, with constant cooperation with established companies, local investment will increase. This provides the base necessary for industry growth, research and de- velopment, and technology commercialization that yields major growth in high-quality jobs. The first step on this path to substantial industry devel- opment is the cultivation of a pool of workers matching the skill sets demanded by regional industry, and tying that pool to entrepreneurial programs and industry targeting initiatives. Recommendation #1: Integrate the establishment of the Innovation Campus with the efforts of the Fields District Report, Recommendation 1: Recommendation IA. Engage Industry with Educational Institutions to Define Concrete Talent Development Goals, Tactics, Outcomes and Metrics o Utilize Target Industry and Target Occupations analysis to guide the creation of a Talent Development Initative o Review the Assumptions and Implications of the Target Industries o Show how the signature cluster development strategy for Agriculture — with its three catalytic initiatives -- fits within Meridian's overall economic development strategy. o Initial focus of Talent Development programs should be more narrowly focused than merely "all of Agriculture"; build Talent Development capabilities based on: a) priority needs articulated by industry b) priorities resulting from Target Industry Occupational Analysis c) priority areas identified by Meridian School District #2, CWI, and universities o Consider focusing the Initial Talent Develop ment, Collaborative Research and Commercialization efforts on "Ag Tech"— Multidisciplinary and emerging application of Information Technology to: • innovative agricultural equipment • cutting-edge agriculture production Hconomic Development Audit & Action Plan • 19 According a recent study by Idaho No Business for Education (IBE)... • Idaho has the lowest rate of graduates immediately matriculating after graduation in the country. • Currently only 41% of Idaho workers between 25-34 years old have a work - ready certificate or higher (only 26% hold at least a Bachelor's degree or higher) • By 2020, 61% of workers will need a certificate or higher at 43% of those worker will need at least a Bachelor's degree _ processes (including agricultural drones, precision agriculture, environmental assessment, etc.) • bioenergy, biomaterials • water, energy, environmental sciences o Establish specific, measurable goals, e.g. number of graduates in specific degree or certificate programs or fields; goals for internships or experiential education, etc. Recommendation 1B. Establish an "Agricultural Talent Development, Commercialization & Research Campus" at a strategic location within Meridian. • The Campus would serve as a nucleus around which various related agricultural initiatives may be developed and would revolve. • The campus should build on Meridian's agricultural heritage and direct agricultural assets, while leveraging the significant agricultural education and research assets that exist within the Treasure Valley.

While once considered a niche market, it is becoming a major industry segment and is one of the fastest growing forms of visitor tourism in the world. Agritourism is focused on learning about and experiencing farming and agricultural recreation.I is inherently regional and it relies entirely on local authenticity—linked to an area's local food culture. 800 600 400 200 Total Value of Agritourism Recreational Services on Farmland in the US (in millions) 2002 2007 2012 • Most attractions are located throughout the valley, staging Meridian as the hub utilizes its strategic location in relation to regional attractions • Ag -loss and preservation tools are important issues at the State and local levels — these initiatives are critical The multiple elements of the overall Agri -Tourism strategy should fit within the framework of Meridian's Economic Development Strategic Plan, and should be mutually reinforcing with other economic development and Fields District recommendations. Agriculture and Agritourism should be included as key elements in the city's future economic development and comprehen- t sive planning efforts.This recommendation includes a signature initiative but its success is very much linked to an understanding of the region's cultural heritage. It is a Agritourism as a form of recreation can be traced back to the 1800s when the city gentry would visit pastoral landscapes to escape the summer swelter of urban areas. More recently it has become commercialized, with some parts of the world almost totally reliant on this for economic vitality. Treasure Valley has the soil quality to support nearly 200 different types of agricultural products. This kind of diversity can be featured and build a greater appreciation of local residents for the rareness and fragility of this landscape. jumping off point to experiencing the unique agriculture heritage of the Treasure Valley. It is the "first tier" attraction to a wide array of cultural assets and experiences. Tourism is often seasonal and can be cyclical, but its limitations do not mean it should be ignored. Tourism can generate sales tax, seasonal employment and amenities for locals, and visibility to attract new resi- dents and talent. This initiative will create a deeper sense of place, will have local and regional benefits, and �E/ GASUS zz • City of Meridian, Idaho will build additional support for Meridian's other initiatives in the Strategic Plan, including highway expansion. It will be important for planning groups to adequately represent the interests of all stakeholders in Agri -Tourism development. Agritourism Details Sub classifications: ecotourism, garden tourism, guest ranches, wine tourism, dairy tourism, and rural tourism (related to experiencing the lifestyle of living in the country, its culture, religion, and building an ethnographic understanding of rural human activity) Market: The largest market segment for Agritour- ism is Baby Boomers followed by Millennials, though these types of activities are typically friendly to all age groups.The PLACE is the product, and all the related experiences native to the place. By 2020, US/Canadian Baby Boomers (between ages 55 to 74) will number over 84 million.They are the most affluent and educated generation of retirees in the history of either country. They are sophisticated travelers interested in more than conventional attractions. They seek an experience and a sense of place. Below: Kiyokawa Family Orchard, Parkdale, OR Apple picking and Slow Food Feast 3 Recommendation #2: Create a comprehensive Ag - Tourism strategy centered on Meridian as the "Ag - Destination Hub of the Treasure Valley" Recommendation 2A. Convene local stakeholders as a Meridian Agritourism Steering Committee to carry out strategic planning and guide implementation efforts o Before major initiatives are pursued, strategic planning must provide the staging ground o Because Agritourism is naturally a regional initiative, Meridian needs to organize locally to ensure that products and outcomes of developing regional tourism can be directly linked to local impact. o The City should lead an effort to convene interested developers, land owners, the Chamber of Commerce (the lead organization for Tourism marketing), and a cross-section of the community in strategic planning. The Committee will create a strategy plan and bylaws for the purpose of placing Meridian as a hub (not an all-inclusive environment or stand-alone attraction)for exploring Agritourism and cultural heritage in the region. The region's Agritourism development thereby becomes a mutually enforcing effort: the more that the region's agriculture base is improved, preserved, and made amenable to tourists and locals, Meridian's centrality and prominence will rise. Recommendation 2B. Convene regional Agritourism stakeholders to form a Treasure Valley Regional Agritourism entity (Note: these recommendations are well -supported by the University of Idaho College of Law report on Agritourism at the Rural -Urban Interface) o Comprised of: County officials, Rural Development administrators, City representa- tives, land/farm owners, dairy owners, producer groups, Chambers of commerce, tourism marketing entities, and local residents o Entity can serve to: • Provide a regional basis of support for developing local strategies to promote ag- heritage oriented tourism or Agritourism • Conduct a cultural heritage asset mapping that can inform the local Agritourism steering committee of additional resources and experiences (see Appendix) • Design themed routes for cultural tourism cohorts (ex: Ag Architecture, Historic Barn Tour, Wine Tourism, Small farmstead trail) • Create an Agri -Tourism marketing fund • Lobby for creation of "agriculture promotion districts" for conservation and preservation of ag uses • Advocate for changes to State policies related to state highway signage for marketing o Meridian should support and integrate existing regional tourism plans and initiatives as "spokes" with Meridian's new initiatives placing the city at the center (promoting connectivity). Existing initatives of interest: • Treasure Valley Scenic Byways initiative • The Sunny Slope Wine Trail • Meridian's Wine Coop on Main Street o Relocation of the Garden City Fairgrounds— which is immanent though a longer -range proposition that depends on building consensus among regional stakeholders— could be integrated with the local Agri - tourism strategic plan. Meridian could Economic Development Audit & Action Plan • 23 position itself as the ideal location for the fairground's relocation the potential to be come a "Southwest Idaho" State Fair. Recommendation 2C. Create a high profile, Ag - focused "destination attraction" in Meridian that provides a unique and complementary amenity for the Boise and Treasure Valley region. o Provide a visitor experience that appeals both to existing residents as a weekend, seasonal or occasional activity; with sufficient scale and critical mass to provide a draw for visitors from beyond the region, or those who are "passing through" but seeking an expanded range of tourist offerings. Bitner Vineyards, an Award-winning national attraction only 15 minutes from Meridian, and partof the Sunny Slow Wine Trail of Southwest Idaho. o Purpose: tourism amenities for the city, educating the region about the unique assets of the valley and the need to pre- serve them, develop an interest in ag and local food culture o Build on precedents / models for such a "destination attraction" from other states such as Oregon, Indiana, Kentucky and Texas o The City of Meridian should not lead the planning process but should be a part of the strategic planning entity and assist in implementation by way of partnerships and fast-track permitting.

Elmore 353,528 346,550 -2.0% • Ag -based Land Developments in the US are highly successful • The Fiscal Impact Analysis of a typical subdivision versus an Ag -based Land Development reveals a clear winner in Ag -based Land Development. Context: Ada County lost 25% of its farmland from 2007 to 2012. Canyon County lost 50% of its farmland from 1992 to 2007. Much of the land in Meridian city limits that used to be farmland has been converted to subdivisions which have provided needed housing in the region. The price of land in Meridian has increased substan- tially as these "greenfield" sites for new subdivisions become scarce amidst the incredible population growth in the region. Feedback from stakeholder interviews revealed that prices of farmland were $5,000/acre in 1990 and are now well above $100,000/acre. As farmers in the Ada/Canyon County area age, and their dependents are not interested in taking on the farms, the offers from developers that farmers are receiving is appealing. By most accounts, a majority of the land in Ada County (which will more than likely become part of the City of Meridian through annexa- tion) has already been "spoken for" by developers who have rights -to -purchase contracts for these lands. Very little water or sewer exists in the Fields Dis- trict; urban development would require significant infrastructure investment.

As a result of the need that developers will have for in- frastructure investment in the Fields area, and with the interest the City has in preserving agricultural heritage, the City should embrace a program to foster a new type of subdivision that focuses on active farmland as the premier amenity. Ag -based Land Development is not a new concept. This type of hamlet development is an Old World development pattern brought from Europe where homes are clustered, agricultural land is preserved and commercial services are walkable to residents. Development scholar at the Urban Land Institute, Ed McMahon stated that as of 2012 there are close to 200 such developments currently exist in the United States, and many are in planning or under development.The concept is simple: cluster homes; substitute a com- munity garden in place of a large recreational amenity such as a golf course; and make the commercial services walkable to most residents. Nearly every US case has been examined for the Fields District Strategy and the three that are most relevant for Meridian are presented on this and the following pages. Recommendation #3. Grow Meridian Sustainably Recommendation 3A. Use Fiscal Impact Modeling to promote sustainable land development practices. • Consultants compared the Ag -based Land Development model to a traditional residential sub- division, based on the impact both developments would have on the city's budget over ten years. This fiscal impact analysis used per capita and per square foot values for local public expenditures and tax receipts for the different land uses represented in each model. See page 30 for details. • The Ag -based Land Development model would contribute a much larger surplus to Meridian over ten years than a traditional development. The net present value of the Ag -based Land Development surplus is $623,635, compared to $453,487 for the traditional development, an increase of almost 40%. • The Ag -based Land Development is a smart investment for the region: it preserves active farmland (30% of the total acreage), promotes housing market diversity, facilitates more walking and biking, and generates more value per acre for both developers and the city. • The City should perform and a City-wide Fiscal Impact Analysis to analyze and determine if the current development pattern is the best policy for the city moving forward. • The Capital Improvements Plan should be modified based on the citywide fiscal analysis. A ri =71 P -111 is or Economic Development Audit & Action Plan • 27 serious consideration should be given to whether not the City should extend infrastructure to the South of let the southern region of the City continue to maintain its rural character with larger lot subdivisions. • The City should continue to adhere to the City's 10 -year and then Annual CIP. This will allow the City and staff to be more proactive with its investment, which will save the City and its tax- payers millions over a 10 -year period. • City should establish and maintain an approval, permit and utility outlay system that maintains to the City's Comprehensive Plan and Capital Improvements Plan. • The City should actively market its green and sustainable initiatives including this Fields Initiative, and also the Water Reclamation project with the city's wastewater treatment faci I ity. Recommendation 3B. Convene a stakeholders working group comprised of developers, landowners, planners, bankers brokers and builders. • The City needs to lead this initiative with support from the County and other associations and appropriate stakeholder support. • City should hold several in-house/staff only sessions with experts to determine how best Meridian can and should execute this concept. ronnurtonsconxeuxm conn�ox a NY 1 Wbe i0PM9lEPOs GPF Ns 4NOEM5 GNOExs RMF 40P➢Ex GN6fNs zoux, ao�� �sowsa �e.www. is outtre mau.� aoum. iaau"m Illustrative examples of how to gradually Integrate urbani and rural uses through a land development code that applies a "transect" model. 2 Left: General Transect Models Below: Transect -based Land Plan for Southlands,Tsawwassen,BC, Canada d ' �' J x LZ Eli NAV � ;�•- � ` � � a n aar rr PEGASUS z8 • City of Meridian, Idaho • Develop a true model for an Ag -based land development that addresses every aspect from the public and private side that can be identified. • Create a presentation that clearly articulates the vision and the benefits • Create an outreach strategy and "buzz" about this concept, before advertising a discussion or meeting about this concept.This can help developers see the buzz and interest among the community. • Bring together interested parties to discuss the model that Meridian will be fostering, including: developers, landowners, planners, bankers, brokers, and builders. • The goal is to educate, create excitement and generate marketing exposure regionally and nationally for what Meridian is trying to do Recommendation 3C. Create a Land Use mechanism to foster Ag -based Real estate development(s) • The current Future Land Use Map and Plan and Zoning Map and Plan may accommodate Ag - based development. An internal staff team should determine what changes (if any need to be made) • If staff determines that current code may not accommodate this innovative development patter, then the City should examine modifications would be necessary. • Consideration to a form -based code should be given. If not for the whole City, form -based code could be a good mechanism for the Fields District.The form -based code will provide the predicable environment the community and the development community seek. Some of the ag-based development proposals may best be implemented through the use of a public- private finance mechanism called a Community Improvement District (CID), as was done in Boise with the Harris Ranch development. Recommendation 3D. Work with a developer to create a Model Ag -based real estate development in Meridian • Through the course of implementing 3A above, some developers will be more interested than others. • Meridian should identify 1-2 developers who have the most interest and who have site control to work with to create a model. • Visit several of these Case Study sites together, visiting with the developers and the public entities involved. • Learn from mistakes and successes • Work with the developer(s) to create conceptual and then site plans for a model. • Implement the development and perform evaluations and impact analyses throughout the project to determine the net impacts for future develop concepts. OCase Study: ® Agritopia, Gilbert, AZ This is development located in a fast growing suburb southeast of Phoenix, Arizona. As suburban sprawl reached the area in the 1990s, developer Joe Johnson decided to opt for an incrementally grown ag-focused village. Highlights: o Total Acres: 160 acres o 452 single family homes (selling at 10%+ AMV) o 250 luxury apartments under construction o 15 acre organic farm o Commercial: 60,000 sf including o Very focused on community connectivity o Small lots, narrow road ways, rear parking allies front porches, and a community center. o Homes are customizable o Architectural forms are highly customizeable and range from craftsman bungalows to Spanish Eclectic and French Revival OCase Study: ® Bucking Horse, Fort Collins, CO This is development located in a highly urbanized area designed with a "modern farmhouse aesthetic."

To the extent that actual revenues and expenditures vary from the estimates provided within these interviews, the results of the model will vary from reality.The model is designed to illustrate the potential fiscal impact of new development, but it is not anticipated that the impacts estimated in the model will precisely mirror those that actually occur. Development scenarios that generate ongoing surpluses produce City revenues that exceed the costs of the services they require.These excess revenues could be used to offset deficits from other developments, to augment the City's fund balance, or to improve service standards. Development scenarios that produce ongoing deficits require service costs in excess of the revenues they generate. These deficits could be offset by surpluses from other developments, they could be mitigated out of fund balance, they could be mitigated by the developer, or they could require the City to decrease service levels. PROJECTED NEW RESIDENTIAL CURRENT MARGINAL COSTS UNITS OR NON-RESIDENTIAL SO & REVENUES NEW CITY COSTS & REVENUES � €O Assumptions The calculations in the fiscal model are based on two sets of assumptions: • Assumptions about the size, type and value of the proposed development to be analyzed by the model; and • Assumptions about the service delivery patterns of City functions, including the expenditures that are variable in regards to growth and the types of development that cause increases in those expenditures. Development Assumptions Two pieces of information are required about a projected development in order to calculate its likely fiscal impact: • The development schedule for each projected residential unit type or non-residential land -use; and, • The property value of each unit type or land -use. The fiscal impact model for the proposed development scenarios is designed to assess the four land -use types proposed: residential, office, retail, and farmland development.The Development Land Use Assumptions chart summarizes the assumptions which we have used the fiscal model to analyze.This data can be modified to represent changes in land use assumptions in the proposed development, or land uses in any future development under consideration in the City of Meridian.

Commercial uses 3 and green space are limited. Transportation is focused on automobiles, and neighbor- hood design limits the practicality of walking, biking, or using transit services. Large amounts of space are taken up for housing, putting development pressure on adjacent farmland. 3 AG -FOCUSED REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO This type of development features a strong mix of commercial and agricultural uses. ;= There is a greater diversity of housing types, including multiple sizes of single-family home and some apartments and townhomes near the development core. Retail and c office space is integrated into urban design and helps create a distinct "center." Urban a design makes it practical and enjoyable to walk, bike instead of rely exclusively on a automobiles. Substantial farmland and greenspace are preserved, serving both local residents and commercial markets into perpetuity. Net Fiscal Impact: Traditional vs.Ag-Based Real Estate Development Scenarios Surplus Net Present Value Cumulative Surplus Commercial Surplus Residential Surplus $0 $400,000 $800,000 $1,000,000 Ag -Based Development Suurre:Anne Me .U,IdMo&nurlGruw ; Traditional Development Pegms Plunning and DewInpuenl, June 2014 Results Two real estate development scenarios were considered in terms of their fiscal impact for the city of Meridian. One scenario is a conventional residential subdivision, comprised of moderate and low density single family housing.The second scenario is an ag-focused real estate development, designed according to best practices and based on case stud- ies of existing communities around the country (in particular, in the West).These scenarios were analyzed in terms of the expenditures they require from Meridian city services, and the revenues they generate in local taxes.This fiscal modeling included review of city budgets, determination of fixed and variable costs for city departments, adjustments based on local property markets, and projection of tax value over a ten year period. The results show a dramatic fiscal benefit to the ag-based real estate development scenario. Despite preserving a third of its land for agriculture and providing a host of amenity and health benefits, the ag-based real estate development generates over $170,000 more net surplus than the traditional development scenario on the same acreage.This equates to a fiscal of almost 40% for the city of Meridian. This model demonstrates that ag-based real estate development is a smart development scenario for Meridian. PEGASUS 32 • City of Meridian, Idaho Catalyst 4: Downtown Conference Center Meridian lacks adequate conference space for large business in the area to hold educational workshops or annual meetings. Meridian lacks facilities adequate for meetings of local business and trade associations. _ There is little performance or concert space in Meridian despite its high ++ •— growth rate and family focus. Meridian is losing these activities to Boise and other towns in the region. Context: Essential to establishing a thriving visitor and tour- ism industry is sufficient and diverse types of meeting, conference and convention center space. Meridian should foster the creation of a new multi -use venue; and, ideally such a facility should be located in down- town Meridian. The center must provide for active public spaces. Developed using innovative mixed use concepts, such a facility also could include a residential component and companion retail space. Small shop - fronts can provide an affordable rent rate for local startups. Meeting space is crucial to large firms and associa- tions, as well as supporting the needs of community groups and local arts programs. Basic facilities avail- able for businesses and organizations to hold trainings, meetings, or other events provide valuable flexible in- frastructure to a community. Based on national norms, a moderately-sized city such as Meridian should have at least one event space capable of accommodating several hundred people. A conference center located in downtown Meridian -- with event space and active daytime uses -- can serve a range of stakeholders in the community and allow the City to capture local and regional demand that currently is going elsewhere or is unmet. A confer- nce and events center will help draw active users to he district and spill over into retail and service sales, while providing value to both large businesses and lo- cal civic organizations. Cultural activities anchored by community event space allow a city to engage in import replacement of en- tertainment spending. This economic development technique, called "consumption base development," is particularly valuable for smaller cities and rural towns. Homegrown cultural activities encourage residents to spend entertainment dollars locally rather than travel outside the community. Arts and cultural -related spend- ing tend to have a higher labor component than other industries; thus dollars that are spent on local arts tend to have higher multiplier effects in the local community. (see Markusen) It is important to note that the Greater Boise Audito- rium District has plans to double its convention center space, including addition of a ballroom and commercial kitchen. This is a plus for Meridian because it puts the Treasure Valley more firmly on the map for national conventions and larger scale events. Meridian then could capture new regional demand that is a spin-off from an expanded regional conference center. Competi- tive pricing may help to capture smaller conventions, drawing overnight visitors whose spending will add to the economy. Recommendation #4: Create a Downtown Conference Center to provide space for meetings,trainings, and performing arts o The City and the MDC should partner with a private entity to develop and manage a conference center in the downtown, based on needs of local Economic Development Audit & Action Plan • 33 businesses and the arts community.A vertical residential component could help the project be fiscally viable and add new housing types in the downtown area. o The center should be designed to accommodate performances and concerts, and other cultural and civic events for the Meridian community. o A downtown conference center overlaps with several other ED strategies: • Business Expansion: Provides facilities for peer-to-peer networking and training; other business events • Tourism: Potential for drawing state or regional conventions. • Strengthen Downtown: Adds a significant downtown amenity for both local residents and regional services. • Quality of Place: Provides space for art, culture, and civic events. o The conference center may be integrated in the development of mixed-use or transit -oriented development projects in the downtown. Recommendation 4A. Coordinate conference center/ performance space development with local public and private stakeholders. o Public-private partnerships may offer a viable means of developing a conference center. A large local company, Scentsy, is currently exploring the development of its own on-site conference facility.They should be brought into the facility - planning process to determine interest in coordinating a single shared conference facility in the downtown area. Recommendation 4B. Conduct a feasibility study for conference center/performance space, identify appro priate sources of funds for center development, and build a conference center. o The city should undertake a study to determine hotel demand and access to the downtown and consider the feasibility of linking the proposed conference center to small hotel development. o Identify mechanisms to fund the development o Conference centers tend to be revenue neutral or negative, with boosted revenues coming from hotel sales and through broader support of the business ecosystem.This should be taken into account when considering financing and business PEGASUS 34 • City of Meridian, Idaho Catalyst 5: Venture Meridian Campus Q• Small business assistance and entrepreneurship services are needed in Meridian • Surveys and interviews state there is a hunger for more independent businesses and local alter- natives to chain retail Technological advancement in many target industries will warrant new businesses, services, and aJ = products that existing businesses struggle to create internally. Servicing the growing and increas- ingly advanced supply chain is a major opportunity for new business creation at a Venture Campus. ._ BSU is a leading institution in the State for building entrepreneurship infrastructure from the ground up, from ideation to angel investment and commercialization. Context: While attracting outside businesses remains an impor- tant component of any regional economic development strategy, cultivating homegrown entrepreneurs through "economic gardening" is now universally recognized as an essential foundation for long-term, sustainable growth. Interviews and surveys with Meridian com- panies and civic leaders indicate there is a need to improve support for smaller businesses and start-ups in the area. Coupled with the workforce and talent development strategy, initiatives to strengthen Meridian's entrepreneurial ecosystem can help the City tap into the tremendous opportunities for developing start-ups and promoting business innovation being gen- erated by the region's major information technology Lcompanies and by the strong programs in Computer Ucience and other high technology fields at Boise State niversity (BSU). Indeed, Boise State University already is operating a highly successful business incubator in the region and has launched an innovative "accelerator" program for its students that it has considered replicating at vari- ous locations around the region. For this project, BSU would be a strong candidate with which to partner in developing new entrepreneurial initiatives in Meridian. Regional models such as The Watercooler and others would be helpful models to consider emulating, as well. These types of programs can offer xperienced staff help to access mentors who can ssist innovators and entrepreneurs in formulating their ideas and business plans based on best practices for launching a successful venture.They can also provide a safer, standardized pipeline between area an- gel investors and start-ups. This catalyst project should be nurtured as other parts of the innovation ecosystem (see strategy 1) take shape over the course of the five year strategic plan. Recommendation #5: Develop a Venture Meridian Campus to promote and anchor local entrepreneurship. Recommendation 5A. Have the city's existing Small Business Coordinator (Community Development Depart- ment), Meridian Development Corporation, and Cham- ber of Commerce assist in the relocation of businesses in the Vila Consultants Building at 33 E Idaho Ave into new office spaces throughout the Downtown. • Given that their existing clientele is already accustomed to coming downtown to use their services, it is wise to try and keep them centrally located. These existing businesses would all be good candidates for generating downtown daytime activity. Recommendation 5B. Lease the space to a leading entity, such as BSU or The Water Cooler, for the cre- ation of a new Venture and Start-up campus for local residents of all ages. • BSU's Venture College is a key model to consider implementing the communtiy.They are currently targeting enrolled students, but they have noted their program is something that is transferable to a community-based model as opposed to their current campus -based model. • The campus will ideally feature start-up training and business management skill mastery courses available for audit by the broader business community. Recommendation 5C. Partner with the lead entity to find new local Angel investors to have local representa- tion on the Angel Investment Advisory team • This investment could overlap with target indus tries or training needs identified by the Talent Development -Industry Partnership entity created for the Ag -Innovation Campus. Recommendation #5D: Lead efforts to provide an abundance of opportunities for start-ups, the existing business community, and consumers to interact, col- laborate and innovate. • This could take shape in the form of featured events, providing more meeting places and building a thriving cafe culture in the Downtown. • Pop-up events could also be a cost effective way to draw interest into the downtown area and help existing retailers. Examples include Viva Streets, pop-up putt -putt and temporary parklets. Recommendation #5E: Assist in connecting the Ven- ture campus and entrepreneurs to funding sources at the Department of Labor, Idaho Tech Council, and the Idaho Small Business Development Council. Economic Development Audit & Action Plan • 35 PEGASUS '6 :itX ul AIc1idi:m. Id:Jiu STRATEGIES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The following six general strategies provide a programmatic context for deployment of catalyst projects, as well as other economic development policies and initiatives. They provide a general framework for moving forward and ty- ing Meridian's future to core foundations of economic growth and resilience. The Catalyst projects are folded into these six strategies: Strategy 1: Talent & Innovation Ecosystem Cultivation Key Catalyst Projects: o Ag Innovation Campus o Venture Meridian Campus Context: An innovative community builds institutions and culti- vates a culture open to and supportive of experimenta- tion, education and skills development, and new con- cepts and techniques. This type of high-growth climate cannot be developed ad hoc; rather, it depends on a long-term process of investing in human capital and relationships. An economically vibrant community depends on an ecosystem of agents and organizations, working towards incremental improvement of the local business climate. The first rung on the ladder of resilient local growth is the cultivation and retention of high -skill, talented workers in a range of technical and managerial fields. The talent development sphere is the engine for deepen- ing skills specialization and industry advancement. As the skilled workforce and entrepreneurial communities grow, with constant cooperation with established com- panies, local investment will increase.This provides the base necessary for industry growth, research and development, and technology commercialization that yields major growth in high-quality jobs. The first step on this path to substantial industry devel- opment is the cultivation of a pool of workers matching the skill sets demanded by regional industry, and tying that pool to entrepreneurial programs industry targeting initiatives. The first step on this path to substantial industry devel- opment is the cultivation of a pool of workers matching the skill sets demanded by regional industry, and tying that pool to entrepreneurial programs industry target- ing initiatives. Strategic Recommendation #1: Establish a Talent Development -Industry Partnership initiative Recommendation IA. Implement Catalyst Initiatives to provide infrastructure for talent and entrepreneurs. Promote these institutions as beacons of Meridian's entrepreneurial spirit. Recommendation 1B. Provide targeted assistance to specialized firms in target industries who might be interested in cultivating entrepreneurs or "intra-pre- neurs" to service their ancillary or supply -chain needs. Recommendation 1C. Feature local start-ups in marketing pieces for the city. Recommendation 1D. Provide opportunities for en- trepreneurs and start-ups to pitch concepts in public, interactive settings such as "5 minute pitch" showcases, The world is rapidly changing. Nothing is as it was 10 years ago, and we can only imagine what will be in 10 years and that includes changing economic conditions. This means the economic development field needs to consider new economic development tools to deal with a new reality. One of those tools is the Do -/t - Yourself Economy, an economy built on a foundation of small, locally -owned, diverse businesses. The Internationa Economic Development Council, 2014 or "Meet the Start-up" events for youth groups. Invite similar entrepreneurs from around the area to present opportunities for interaction and continued innovation. Recommendation 1E. Track talent development - industry partnerships with strong data sharing to establish alumni networks to track talent for retention and attraction. Recommendation 1E Maintain close connections with all sides of the partnership to plan for necessary expansion or additional infrastructure and funding needs. Economic Development Audit & Action Plan . 37 Recommendation 1G. Track state and national spending for workforce and entrepreneurship programs and provide evidence of City support in grant applications. Recommendation 1H. Encourage at -risk youth to join vo- cational training programs or internships at an early age. Some schools speak to students of these opportunities as early as the 5th grade. Role of the City: The City of Meridian should be a leading partner in or- ganizing and implementing the two key catalyst projects related to this strategy, along lines described in those sections. Strategy 2: Business Expansion Q • Online survey results: business expansion, small business assistance and entrepreneurship services are top biggest needs (in addition to Downtown) • Basic population increase is a major economic driver, leading to strengths in professional and N financial services _ There is a need among the business community for development assistance .6..& .. • Several core industries demonstrate both national and regional strength, and serve as _cc = appropriate targets for promotion and development: these are focused around medical Z E industries, business and scientific services, and production and distribution related to W agricultural products Key Catalyst Projects: o Ag -Focused Talent and Innovation Center o Downtown Conference Center o Venture Meridian Complex Context: Business retention, development, and attraction are the prime movers of local economic development. Local government action can reduce structural barriers for new business development and growth, and promote the synergies that lead to positive externalities for local business growth. While attracting larger firms is a key element of business expansion strategies, most new jobs are created by small businesses. Small business support and development services are important elements in a thriving business ecosystem. Most long-term job growth in the United States comes from a relatively small set of high -impact companies. These firms are characterized by doubling their revenue and employment in 4 years, and are found at all sizes and across all industries. They are 25 years old on average, with 95% of high -impact firms over 5 years of age.They contribute almost all the private sector employment growth in the US. Companies that are high performing can be identified with local knowledge of the business ecosystem.These firms are more suited to strong expansion, and should be targeted for programs to determine barriers or impediments to their growth. Business attraction targets should contribute to the development of clusters that provide key benefits to the community (high wages, expanded tax base, etc.). Cluster based development allows communities to draw 38 • City of Meridian, Idaho Meridian Business Owner Survey Conducted Summer 2014 114 Complete Responses Question: "What should be the main focus areas (choose 3) for economic development in Meridian?" 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 1 1 L No MEN MEN N7 MENEM on the positive externalities that come from business- es in similar or complementary industries located in close proximity.This includes opportunities for collab- orative research and development and the cultivation of a high-quality, specialized market for labor and business services. Clusters appropriate to the Me- ridian area include the following: agribusiness/food production and processing/agricultural research and development, health care; and professional services. Small businesses are the lifeblood of the American economy, providing 66% of net new jobs since the 1970s. Meridian has a strong small business com- munity, but lacks any substantial programming for development or technical support. Meridian's high rate of population growth creates an environment suitable for goods and services focused on residents. These include professional and personal services, medical services, food and beverage establishments, and home -oriented retail. These industries are well suited to small business entrepreneurship and growth. Target industries include sectors that are appropriate for small business development, including profession- al and business services, some medical development, onal services. Other target industries with -ms may function as anchors for purchasing services from small firms in the area. Some industries also contribute to the develop - districts that support firms of a range of sizes, including small offices; medical industry development is a good example of this. Strategic Recommendation #2: Expand and enhance a range of business development strategies based on Peer -based Retention, Attraction and Mentoring programs, and proactive small business support and import replacement tied to strong local industry targets. Recommendation 2A. The City of Meridian Economic Development staff should lead the development of a Business Retention and Expansion team, with support from the Chamber of Commerce.These efforts will be led by the Economic Development Coordinator. They will determine key members from the local business community and undertake proactive efforts to approach local businesses and help them resolve barriers to sustainable growth.This effort will require assistance outside of permitting and will include: technical as- sistance and training; assistance with sourcing capital; where appropriate, building up and promoting growth in an industry's supply chain for more local growth.

Recommendation 2B. The City should add one addi- tional full-time staff person assigned for administrating special projects laid out in this report and to assist in coordination of business expansion efforts. Because the Economic Development Department will be taking on additional responsibilities and implementing five complex projects and signature initiatives. The City of Meridian has many diverse businesses, and coordination and administration of expansion efforts must be improved to meet all of the demand for growth assistance. The City should be seen as a conduit for growth, not a barrier to it. Recommendation 2C. Some of the largest employers in Meridian are homegrown, with strong commitments to the City.The City should continue to work with them to insure basic infrastructural and workforce needs are met. Recommendation 2D. Meridian should continue to cul- tivate, define, and empower its "Business Ready -Team" with a coherent message for companies considering locating to Meridian. Recommendation 2E. The Chamber of Commerce should support small business development through peer-to-peer trainings, mentoring, information ex- change, and networking events. It should focus on in- dustries that serve its rapidly growing population and/or complement industries targeted to be ripe for continued growth when appropriate. Recommendation 2E The Chamber of Commerce should offer member -exclusive advertising services on its website and through other media. Recommendation 2G. The City should encourage the Chamber to lead small business support services, while supporting the business community through developing a "one-stop shop" to assist firms in navigating regula- tions and codes and identifying potential sources of public funding or procurement opportunities. It should also support infrastructure projects that support entre- preneurship and the small business community, such as the catalyst projects identified in this report. Economic Development Audit & Action Plan • 39 Recommendation 2H. Implement the Catalyst projects Recommendation 2I. Initiate a "Made in Meridian" campaign • Meridian can encourage residents to "buy local" through basic branding and promotions, including "buy local" days. • The campaign can grow to promote local goods and services outside Meridian itself, with branding targeted to larger regions. This should focus on industry specializations tied to Meridian's core industries, including food and farm related products. • Many cities and states develop focused programs to encourage local firms to source goods and services from other local firms. This involves more focused efforts to map out the supply chains of local companies, and identify supplies and inputs that could be provided by other companies in the region.This supply chain replacement tactic offers strong potential for furthering a resilient local economy. Role of City: The City of Meridian should lead in business retention and attraction programs, including the development of a retention and attraction committee and the addition of a staff person for special projects in Economic Development. The City should support the Chamber's efforts for small business technical support services and assistance in sourcing financing, while it takes a lead in implement- ing catalyst projects in infrastructure and workforce development that further small business development. ONE S 40 • City of Meridian, Idaho Strategy 3: Tourism Agritourism, nature tourism and heritage tourism are the fastest growing tourism segments in Qthe O US. Meridian is in one of the nation's fastest growing wine regions. • Several Scenic Byways lie just outside Meridian, and are not connected to each other. H Highway 16 could serve as the connection to the Scenic Byways tours. W _ • A special convention center tax district exists for Boise, and extends to the East side of .4•+•. Eagle Road. tv @• There is insufficient meeting and conference space in Meridian. • • Downtown Boise is about to expand their Convention Center space. • Most public -funded convention or conference centers remain in need of constant subsidy • A Public-private conference center may be a more viable option for Meridian. Key Catalyst Projects: o Downtown Conference Center o Ag -Experience Center Context: Tourism is a segment of the economy in Meridian that has not grown, due largely to there not being any real tourism assets in Meridian, besides local community parks, downtown and retail. However, Meridian is also in the middle of a very rich tourism region, with vineyards, skiing, hiking, down- town Boise, and many other tourist assets all just outside of Meridian. Meridian should position itself as the launching point for experiencing tourism in the region. To do this, Me- ridian will need to develop more tourism assets locally, develop a public relations and marketing campaign on tourism and build more infrastructure including the Scenic Byways connection and an Ag Tourism Center. If followed, these strategies will help to diversify the economy of Meridian, provide more for residents to do, and bring more external dollars into Meridian little. Meridian is a missing link in a connected ring of 4 regional byways including the Lower Payette River Heritage Byway, Snake River Canyon Byway, and the Western Heritage Historic Byway, among others located throughout Southwest Idaho.The hightway 16 expan- sion could overlap with this effort to boost tourism to these amenities. Go to Visitldaho.org for more infortmation. Strategic Recommendation #3: Adopt Tourism as an industry segment to grow in Meridian Recommendation 3A. Convene a meeting with the Chamber of Commerce leadership and Meridian to dis- cuss a Tourism Strategy. Recommendation 3B. Develop aTourism Strategy Recommendation 3C. Convene a meeting with State and Local tourism experts to discuss Meridian's tourism goals Recommendation 3D. Implement the Catalyst Projects. Recommendation 3E. Determine if a special assess- ment district or tax is appropriate for Meridian to cre- ate and use for tourism efforts. Recommendation 3E Develop marketing collateral that is focused on specific target markets for tourism. Economic Development Audit & Action Plan • 41 Recommendation 3G. Convene a Scenic Byways meet- ing with all those involved (state, regional, public, pri- vate) to determine how to better coordinate and market the Scenic Byways, and if there is a role for Meridian. Recommendation 31H. Advocate for Highway 16 to be the Scenic Byways connector. Role of the City: The City of Meridian should be a leading partner in organizing and implementing the two key catalyst projects related to this strategy, along lines described in this section. The Chamber of Commerce should lead most tourism initiatives for Meridian, and be supported as appropriate. PES GASUS 42 • City of Meridian, Idaho Strategy 4: Land Use, Transportation, and Infrastructure Meridian land prices, and consequently the building lease prices are high in the Boise - Q, Meridian -Nampa region. Water scarcity in Idaho has impacted water laws, including irrigation and canal districts, both of which are very relevant to the Fields District. H Meridian has a state of the art water reclamation program at their wastewater treatment Q) C center. +•' •� Byproducts (including free commercial water) from this water reclamation system should be seen as economic development tools for the City. •� Congestion on I-84 during rush hours (am/pm) have steadily worsened. Transportation solutions identified include: Highway 16, Regional Commuter Rail, Bicycle Lanes, and Denser Development. • Meridian has a good bicycle lane improvement program. • Development patterns of sprawl that Meridian has largely experienced are not fiscally sustainable. Key Catalyst Projects: o Ag Heritage Center o Ag -focused Real Estate Development o Coordinated Land Use, Transportation and Infrastructure Policies Context: For busnesses and site selectors, inexpensive utilities and inexpensive yet well -located land and buildings are major priorities --second only to quality workforce. Connectivity and efficient/predictable transportation systems are essential for a region's labor force, busi- nesses, and logistics operators. Meridian does fairly well in this category because It is in an ideal location for �conomic development: part of the state's largest major metropolitan area; along an interstate; and with lots of land to grow. Much of the vacant land in Meridian is either about to be developed or still being farmed, but more than likely to be developed in 10-20 years. Land prices in Meridian are just under those of Boise, but higher than Nampa and Caldwell. There are relatively few locations for industrial development in Meridian and the land is expensive for that use. However, office development, retail, light industrial and some warehousing/mixed-use will continue to be strong markets for Meridian. Meridian and the Boise have tremendous growth pres- sures on their land, water and wastewater resources. This growth is also evident during the morning and afternoon hours as commuters flow in/out of Boise from other fast-growing communities. State and local entities have created a vision for a regional commuter rail system, which would utilize the existing Union Pacific rail line to connect suburbs to Boise downtown.A well designed public realm with the use of connectivity promotes alternative transportation choice. One of the major decisions the creative class look for in choosing a place to live is the availably to alternative transportation. Meridian can be the lead- ing city the region with appropriate investment in land use policy and transportation infrastructure. The State and regional stakeholders have also identified Highway 16 as a new highway that would alleviate some of the regional traffic. This new highway would roughly on top of the existing McDermott Road in Meridian — passing north -south through the Fields District area. Chinden Boulevard (or 20/26) should also be expanded Chinden, or 20/26, should also be widened to have four lanes with a center turn lane, bicycle lanes, and side- walks. Strategic Recommendation 4: Integrate Sustainable Land Use practices with Transportation Improve- ments and Infrastructure Investments. Recommendation 4A. City staff should convene an internal discussion about this Strategy. The goal of the discussion should be to develop specific internal process- es that will need to be further developed and approved before implementing. Planned extension of Highway 16 along McDermott Rd, Meridian Recommendation 4B. Implement the Ag -Heritage and Ag -Focused Real Estate Catalyst projects Recommendation 4C. The City should perform a City- wide Fiscal Impact Analysis to analyze and determine if the current development pattern is the best policy for the city moving forward. Recommendation 4D. The Capital Improvements Plan should be modified based on the citywide fiscal anal- ysis. A serious consideration should be given to whether or not the City should extend infrastructure to the South or let the southern region of the City continue to maintain its rural character with larger lot subdivisions. Recommendation 4E. The City Council should maintain to the City's 10 -year and then Annual CIP. This will allow the City and Staff to be proactive with its invest- ment, which will save the City and its taxpayers millions over a 10 -year period.

Develop an incentive policy uti- lizing the wastewater by-products as economic development incentives. Recommendation 4M. Complete the Chinden improve- ments by widening Highways 20 and Highways 26. Recommendation 4N. Complete Highway 16. • Continue to Work with other communities in the Region, and the State, to push this project forward and secure funding (whether that is just public or utilizing innovative public-private tools). • Work to access ramps so as to preserve larger tracts of land, and increase traffic flow on Highway 16. • Secure federal and foundation funding to develop Ag -Heritage Center along Highway 16 • Push forward the notion (along with regional partners — see "Tourism" section) that Highway 16 should be the continuation of the Scenic By ways — thus connecting the many disparate yet existing Scenic Byways in the region. Role of the City The City of Meridian should be a leading partner in organizing and implementing the two key catalyst projects related to this strategy. Recognizing the limitations of authority in Idaho, Meridian does not control the roads or rail. Water and wastewater through annexation are the City's main carrots to use in growth management. Implement an involuntary annexation strategy as part of a targeted development strategy in areas where infrastructure exists. By adhering to a fiscal tool -based planning, capital im- provements and utility outlay/extension policy, Meridian can grow into the remainder areas of Ada County in a sustainable manner that is proactive, thoughtful and smart policy for the City and its taxpayers. That being said, the City should also continue to play a strong advocate role regionally and at the State for the Commuter Rail Highway 16 and 20/26 (or Chinden) improvements, and continue to partner with regional and location transportation providers. 1 GA5U qq .

Key Catalyst Projects: o Downtown Conference Center o Venture Meridian Campus Context: Downtown is the key hub for quality of place. It is the heart of a community — it represents both heritage and new local alternatives. Downtowns are typically the city's civic center and house community services, con- necting them to every resident. A vibrant downtown —or the lack of one—affects the community's ability to attract and retain residents, businesses and institutions, jobs, and investment that enable a town to endure and thrive. Downtowns generally have the skeleton of strong urban design, accommodating a range of business and resi- dential scales and types. They are typically walkable, bikeable, and accessible to a diversity of people. It is important that Downtowns offer a range of amenities and characteristics attractive to the diversity of needs and tastes in their communities. Street life should be active, vibrant, accessible, and multigenerational, and otherwise representative of the city as a whole. 0 0 's v a 3 s Meridian has made Downtown as a priority area for the city's economic future.This set of recommendations will serve to refine and articulate avenues for Downtown investment that optimize the quality of interventions without demanding excessive quantity of intervention. Strategic Recommendation #5: Undertake a range of interventions to enhance the urban amenities of Downtown Meridian for residents, workers compa- nies, and tourists. Recommendation 5A. Work with the Meridian De- velopment Corporation (MDC) to clarify their role in Economic Development. • The MDC's role on managing the Urban Renewal District and corresponding TIF financing makes them a key entity for partnering in the city's eco- nomic development efforts. • The Urban Renewal District should be leveraged for greater overall impact within the Downtown and for the City writ large. • Consider the expansion of urban renewal and TIF financing by the strategic addition of one or more new urban renewal districts, particularly with the new districts would provide incentives for business recruitment. Recommendation 5B. Make Quality of Place a guiding light for all aesthetic and structural improvements to the downtown • Quality of Place is a city-wide strategy with Historic Radio City Wayfinding scheme, Ferndale, CA specific implications for the Downtown. Downtown should be a place of unique landmarks, iconic spaces and restaurants, the uniqueness and character of a community. Develop distinct, creative markers in Meridian's eminent wayfinding initiative, utilized in the Downtown as well as other major community nodes. Draw passersby to unique spaces and major landmarks. Recommendation 5C. Increase Employment in the Downtown by leveraging City -owned properties • Establish the BSU Venture Meridian Center in the Downtown and integrate it into the streetscape and wayfinding. • Support relocation of existing small businesses into new buildings and facilities in the downtown. • Develop a small business coworking space with small offices, floating desk space, shared conference/kitchen/common spaces. • Emphasize the city's appreciation for its independent businesses. Recommendation 5D. Increase recreation, entertain- ment, and dining options in the Downtown. • Undertake blight removal for downtown blocks. Consider changing grant programs for fagade i improvements to loan deals structured with community lenders to accommodate larger struc- tural improvement grants. • Cultivate "third spaces" in the Downtown area that facilitate collaborative work (Examples: coffee shops, brewpubs). • Host downtown events, including consistent weekly summer programming. (Examples: live music from a variety of styles). • Develop a regular farmers market or artisans market in the Downtown, or explore potential of moving Village farmers market to the Downtown. Recommendation 5E. Increase livability of the Downtown • Work to stabilize neighborhoods adjacent to the Downtown. Examine HUD's Neighborhood stabilization program which provides funding and resources for this type of stabilization effort. • Promote the development of condos, lofts, live - Economic Development Audit & Action Plan • 45 work establishments, and mixed-use development through zoning and investment support. • Connect downtown Main Street to immediately surrounding neighborhoods through streetscape and infrastructure improvements. • Small investments in public art would have dramatic improvements on local feel of the community. Recommendation 5E. Improve Downtown transpor- tation & connectivity • Increase focus on implementation of the city's bike plan, and develop supportive programs and education. Programs may include a bike -share s similar to Boise's. Education may include bike - focused events such as city -biking days, bike -to - work days, weekly social rides, and races. • Connect Downtown to area nodes and regional trails via bike lanes. Connect the Village to Downtown via Pine Street. Encourage the use of regional trails for bike commuting. • If connection to commuter rail transit is feasible, plan for a major stop to be in the Downtown. Role of the City: The City of Meridian will assist in strengthening the MDC's implementation strategy. PEGASUS 46. "n of VIcridian. Idaho Strategy 6: Strengthen Quality of Place • Surveys and interviews indicate there is an interest in a greater diversity of entertainment options and independent businesses. Q, There is low street -life activity and daytime population in Meridian's most walkable areas, H particularly the downtown. '0 CM • Visitors find it difficult to navigate the city due to a lack of landmarks commercial space focused along highways. • There are insufficient walkable areas in Meridian. According to WalkScore.com - an Z �C organization who tracks walkability of cities of all sizes across the US - Meridian's Walk Score Ais only 21 on a scale of 0-100 (least to most walkable). Boise = 55; Nampa = 26; L Caldwell = 23; Salt Lake = 55; Bellvue, WA = 38; Beaverton, OR = 55 _ A Key Catalyst Projects: o Ag -based Real Estate Development o Ag -Experience Center Context: Placemaking increases a city's overall competitiveness — it's about creating the right environment for the talent pool of today and tomorrow. Quality of Place is distinct from Quality of Life, a major strength for Meridian. It means a city promotes a diversity of options for its com- munity to enjoy a stimulating setting, diverse people, and vibrant, visible street life. Many communities focus on their attributes for living and for working, but Quality of Place includes a focus on access to "Third Spaces" pr places outside of work or home that involve recreation, engagement, aesthetics and play.Typically Quality of Place is built over time, a tightly woven fabric con- structed incrementally. Richard Florida describes (ULI) 3 Dimensions of Qual- ity of Place: (1) What's there, or the coherence and quality of the built and natural environment, (2) Who's there, people of diverse national, ethnic, religious backgrounds or sexual and gender identities, (3) What's going on, or a visible presence of people interacting with the environment in a number of modes and a places. Quality of Place refers to the history and culture of a geography while encour aging new development that builds on that authentic heritage. Strategic Recommendation 6: Promote Quality of Place through arts and entertainment programs, wayfinding and signage, and streetscape improve- ments that draw upon Meridian's agricultural heritage. Recommednation 6A. Provide a greater variety of entertainment venues and events in walkable areas. • Tactical Urbanism: Begin with temporary and pop- up initiatives such as a Better Block Program (http://betterblock.org/) that could lead to more permanent changes to the built environment. Focus on placing them in areas that are pedestrian and bike friendly and close to or in Downtown. Recommendation 6B. Host more city-wide events (street fairs, music festivals, local vendor exhibitions) at a variety of times and with vendors, live music, and amenities that cater to a diversity of residents and visitors. The "Better Block" project is a demon- stration tool that rebuilds an area using grassroots efforts to show the potential to create agreat walkable, vibrant neighbor- hood center. The project acts as a living charrette so that communities can actively engage in the "complete streets" buildout process and develop pop-up businesses to show the potential for revitalized econom- ic activity in an area. Bette rBlock.org Recommendation 6C. Launch an Art in Public Places program. • Build upon existing efforts of the city to place statues in public square. Art in Public Places is a concept that encourages the blending of the arts into the urban fabric rather than standing out as a feature. Iconic statues in plazas and at terminal views are important, but we recommend more interactive pieces wher the public can engage with them. Invite artists to create pieces (in a variety of media from painting to sculpture with reclaimed materials) in or on existing space in the public realm, such as in parks, on utility boxes, benches, street lamps, or building facades. These should be created on a rolling basis so that the space is constantly interactive, appealing, and inspiring. The Meridian Mill (next to City Hall) would be an excellent opportunity to utilize a well-placed, iconid landmark for placement of art or signage that informs people they are in the heart of the city. Bench piece, Bend, OR Art the Box, Eurgene, OR Economic Development Audit & Action Plan • 47 Recommendation 6D. Ensure authentic, place -based design of city Wayfinding and signage • Create a Citizens Advisory Committee with a diverse representation (age, sex, nation of origin, religion, lifestyle, term of residency) to assist with deciding final design elements that speak the city's character or that create a sense of place. • Signage should direct people to the Downtown. Recommendation 6E: Improve the city's Walkability: the most walkable areas are the downtown and the Vil- lage, however these are walkable islands in an overall car -dependent city. • Use Main Street as the trunk of connected path ways expansion. Main Street has excellent amenities, but east -west corridors have excellent heritage structures for reinvestment. • Design from the user's experience so that more space is utilized, connections are intuitive, and the pedestrian perspective is prioritized. Recommendation 6E Integrate the community's ag heritage into the public realm in creative, interactive ways.This will integrate well into agritourism development. • Incorporate fruit and nut trees into street tree programs. (Ex:: a volunteer -led initiative that led to the planting of 10 unique street trees • Develop edible landscaping and community orchards within public parks rPE� GA5U5 48 • City of Meridian, Idaho Role of City: The City of Meridian should be the torch bearer for quality of place in any intervention that affects how Me- ridian's character is being portrayed and always advo- cate for authenticity, character, and inclusiveness. Sour Orange Row, San Diego, CA Wetherby, Iowa Edible Forest, San Diego, CA Economic Development Audit & Action Plan • 49 Next Steps .................................... 00000000000000000000 M M a 000 The Economic Development Audit revealed that Meridian has done an excellent job laying the ground- work for economic development success. The healthcare, retail and office development that has proliferated in Meridian - just in the last five years – is growth that any city would like to have.Yet, the Audit also revealed that there is a lack of economic diversity and that Meridian can definitely put in place several strategies to increase that diversity and chart a path for a sustained pattern of growth. The Fields District is a plan that now enters a Phase 3 of refined planning and implementation. The Economic Development Strategy is an initial strategy that sets the course for Meridian's economic development efforts, yet there are still several areas that will need to be further refined. Integrating all of the Fields District strategies into this Economic Development Strategy yields one Implementation Plan for Meridian to follow. Both the Fields District and Economic Development Strategy are ambitious, and once implemented will dif- ferentiate Meridian in the region, State and NW United States as an innovative community that truly integrates community development, economic development and land planning in a manner that is fiscally sustainable and respectful of the community Meridian once was and the mature city it is becoming. Several of the major initiatives will require regional and state support and participation, as well as support from many education, workforce and business leaders. Communication and public relations for these special projects will take a targeted approach with sufficient resources. The Next Steps the City of Meridian needs to take to implement the Economic Development Strategy are: — • City Council adopt the Fields District Strategy. • City Council adopt a Resolution which will put in place the Economic Development Strategy as a policy document for the city to incorporate into its business strategy. • Seek assistance with aligning Meridian's economic development organizations with this Economic Development Strategy. Given the additional scope of economic development with this Strategy, ALL economic development organizations will need to align their staffing and resources to this plan. • The Meridian Development Corporation should embrace their role as an economic development entity. The MDC Board should give serious consideration to expanding by creating new urban renewal districts similar to how Twin Falls has done for purposes of economic development. • Communicate with partners and stakeholders involved in this project what steps Meridian will take to move these initiatives forward. This should entail a sophisticated education and public relations campaign on the Fields Strategy and Economic Development Strategy. Key to this campaign will be identification and buy -in of Meridian -based and regional private sector. • Create Organizational Structures for catalyst projects and develop Business Plans for those initiatives that require more detailed planning • Utilize BUSINESS READYTEAM (the steering committee created for this ED Audit project to serve as a Steering Committee for implementation of this plan and "Greeting Committee" for new business prospects. • Lead and participate in a more detailed occupational and industry analysis • City Council adoption of a Resolution which designates the Economic Development Strategy as a policy document for incorporation within the City's business strategy • Aggressively implement this Strategy, by following the Implementation Matrix on the following pages. • Implement the following organizational and marketing strategies: • Marketing- this is an area that needs a separate strategy, but that is very important to undertake. The Meridian Development PES G WS jo • City of Meridian, Idaho Corporation is beginning a branding strategy for Downtown, yet an overall City wide Marketing Strategy and brand should be created that encompasses downtown, business recruitment/attraction and tourism. • City Staff -Additional resources will need to be immediately added to implement all the strategies and catalyst projects described herein. Business expansion, Downtown, Small Business and Entrepreneurship are the top priorities among businesses surveyed as part of this project. The Chamber will take a larger role in small business training, and a new lead entity will be the head entrepreneurship development with their new presence downtown. The City is not only the lead implementer on all of the Catalyst projects, but also facilitating this entire strategy. All of this will take significant resources, beyond the current resource allocation for economic development in Meridian. Given all of this, the following City Economic Development Team is recommended to be formed. (Note, that this new formation will require one additional full-time employee who can assist economic development efforts but also on special projects (e.g., catalyst projects). The City's economic development team should consist of: o Mayor of Meridian —the Mayor should play a support role to the Economic Development team; represent the City at major events; participate in business prospect visits to Meridian; and advocate for Meridian's catalyst projects o Economic Development Manager—the ED Manager will manage all Economic Development efforts and staff, represents the City at business retention visits, trade shows; leads all business prospect visits; serves as primary implementer and convener for the Meridian Business Ready Team and participates in developer meetings o Economic Development Assistant — full-time staff person devoted solely to ED; manages and executes on business retention sur - tracks progress of catalyst projects and economic development strategy implementation; and coordinates the Business Ready Team Analyst/Assistant—shared staff in Community Development (1/4 to 1/2 time to ED); assists with prepara- tion of analysis for economic develop-ment efforts, catalyst proj ects and marketing efforts The implementation table in the following pages further iterates the necessary phasing as well as partnerships necessary for implementation. It is important to remember that the City will lead as a convener of stakeholders and champion of these initiatives, though not always the lead implementer.
