New Commercial Submittal Package
Introduction
The City of Meridian requires a new commercial submittal package for new
construction, additions to an existing structure, and for façade or exterior
improvement. This handout is intended to help facilitate a smooth, no
surprises experience for our customers. The New Commercial submittal package includes a checklist and several
forms which are required for a complete application. It is required that all
sections of the checklist be addressed. This includes submissions to the
Meridian Planning Division and Ada County Highway District (ACHD). Failure
to provide all required and completed materials will result in delays.
» All plan submittals must be signed, dated, and stamped by the
responsible licensed professional.
» A Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC) must be completed with
the Meridian Planning Division prior to New Commercial Application
submittal. You may also want to discuss signage for your project at
this time.
» Applicants may walk-in and submit “over the counter” at any time.
In addition to the forms included within a New Commercial Application
package, approval and written documentation may be required from Central
District Health Department (CDHD) as part of the submittal requirements.
» If your project includes food storage, handling or manufacturing,
CDHD approval and stamp is required on submitted plan sets.
Next Steps
When your plans have been approved, Meridian Building Services will send an
e-mail notification that the plans are ready for download. After official final
inspections are completed for new commercial improvements, a Certificate
of Occupancy (CO) will be issued by the City. A CO is required prior to use
or occupancy of any new commercial space.
If you have questions or would like to schedule a pre-submittal meeting to
discuss the specifics of your project, please call (208) 887-2211
What is a CO?
» A CO is a Certificate of Occupancy and is
required for every business prior to use or
occupancy of any structure. This includes
name changes, ownership changes, and any
alteration involving construction.
