Meridian

Steve Thiessen, of Silvercreek Realty Group, wants to build a business center at 5317 W. Franklin Road, in the city of Meridian’s Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area plan, the area near Ten Mile and Interstate 84 that Meridian has mapped out for commercial growth.

The business center would include a warehouse and a self-storage business. It would have 10 buildings and be on 14.5 acres.

Thiessen plans to add landscaping and a right-of-way, the application said.

The Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to hear the proposal at 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 1, at City Hall.

Sixty rental units on 47th Street in Garden City would bring more housing near Chinden Boulevard. The design of the buildings includes enclosed bike parking.

A proposed apartment building can move forward after the Garden City Council approved the building’s design on Monday.

The buildings, at 233 E. 47th St., would bring 60 rental units to the northwest portion of the city, near Chinden Boulevard. After the city’s Design Review Committee allowed a reduction in the site’s required parking, a neighbor appealed, asking that it be increased and that a trash enclosure near his property be moved.

On Monday, the City Council voted to allow the parking reduction to stand and allowed for the trash enclosure to be taller than it initially was, Hanna Veal, with development services, told the Idaho Statesman.

The property is owned by March Capital Fund, of San Francisco, and designed by Boise firm Erstad Architects.
