Where Are We Going? (cont.)Where Are We Going? (cont.)NMA Comp Plan Amendment timeline

– May: Open House– Mid-June: Draft plan & maps prepared– July: P&Z Commission public hearing– August: City Council public hearing– August/September: Submit amended Comp Plan to

Ada County for approval– Renegotiate Area of City Impact – Ada County must adopt and amend agreement with

City of Meridian before impact boundary is official

Key AssumptionsKey AssumptionsLand Use

No changes will be made to existing zoningPlan will give detail to the work in process for CIM & Blueprint for Good Growth plansPlan will create two tiers for growth:

- Existing Urbanized Area- Future Urbanized Area (McDermott Sewer Trunk area)

A mix of services and job types will be available in North MeridianOverall density of housing will be at least 3 – 3.5 dwelling units/acreLower density housing is expected north of ChindenHigher density housing will be required close to service centers and along transit corridorsExisting Neighborhood Center on McMillan Road (near Paramount) will be removedA majority of residents in “North Chinden” area support Area of Impact change

Key Assumptions (cont.)Key Assumptions (cont.)Transportation

SH20-26/Chinden will be a limited access highway that remains at 45-55 mphFuture SH16/Emmett Highway extension will generally align with McDermott Rd. and will dramatically affect land usesITD won’t know the exact SH16 alignment for at least 2 ½ - 3 years. If funded, project could possibly begin in late 2005.A limited access highway will create an incredible opportunity and a physical barrier for the communityA grade separated interchange is anticipated at SH16/SH20-26 (wherever that alignment ends up)Multi-modal centers will be encouraged near these interchangesFuture bus routes will be focused on the arterial grid and will primarily serve neighborhood centersUltimately, all arterial intersections and many half-mile intersections will be signalized
