From YouTube: Planning and Zoning Commission
Description
March 14, 2022
A
A
A
City
of
boise
airport
is
the
applicant,
that's
at
5121
west
gallon
street,
and
this
has
been
deferred
from
february
14th
and
we
first
heard
deliberations
on
january
10th.
So
long
time
come
in
for
this
one
we
are
recommending
approval,
but
there
is,
as
you
can
see,
significant
opposition
and
so
we'll
be
hearing
that,
and
so
that's
that's
it
one
consent.
One
hearing.
B
B
D
A
All
right
everybody
good
evening
and
welcome
to
the
boise
city
planning
and
zoning
commission
public
hearing
a
few
things
to
start
out
with
for
tonight's
proceedings.
Everyone
from
the
public
entering
the
hearing
virtually
has
been
automatically
muted
and
cannot
speak
as
the
item
you're
interested
in
comes
up
for
the
discussion.
You'll
be
called
upon
and
unmuted.
A
There
is
a
chat
function
in
zoom,
but
this
is
not
part
of
the
record
and
should
only
be
used
if
technical
difficulties
arise.
Our
procedures
for
public
hearings
begin
with
a
presentation
from
the
planning
team,
then
we'll
go
to
the
applicant
and
the
representative
of
the
registered
neighborhood
association,
followed
by
questions
from
the
commission.
A
After
that,
we
proceed
to
public
testimony,
starting
with
those
who
are
in
person,
then
those
who
signed
up
on
the
sheet
sign
up
sheet
in
advance
and
then
anyone
else
who
raises
their
hand
virtually
if
you
are
attending
through
your
telephone,
you
can
type
in
star
star9.
To
raise
your
hand,
each
member
of
the
public
is
allowed
up
to
three
minutes
for
testimony.
We
are
strict
with
this
time
as
it
is
limited
in
code.
A
B
B
Any
decision
tonight
made
tonight
may
be
appealed
to
the
city
council,
provided
that
the
appeal
is
filed
within
10
days
of
this
hearing.
In
order
to
file
an
appeal
you
must
have
given
written
or
oral
testimony
at
tonight's
meeting.
That's
why
it's
important
to
give
your
name
an
address
when
you
testify
tonight,
we
utilize
a
consent
agenda.
This
means
that
if
the
applicant
agrees
with
the
staff
report
and
if
there
is
no
public
opposition,
the
item
will
be
placed
on
the
consent
agenda.
B
All
items
that
are
placed
on
the
consent
agenda
are
approved
with
one
motion.
Without
further
public
comment
for
items
not
on
the
consent
agenda,
we
will
hold
a
full
public
hearing
in
the
order
just
detailed
a
few
minutes
ago
with
staff,
the
applicant,
the
neighborhood
association
and
then
public
testimony.
Thank
you
all
for
attending
tonight.
Well,
a
clerk.
Please
call
the
roll.

Okay,
then,
the
other
remaining
item
on
our
agenda
tonight,
I
think,
is
the
main
attraction
that
is
item
number
one.
It's
car
21-30,
it's
the
city
of
boise
project,
is
located
at
512
on
west
gowan
road.
This
item
was
deferred
from
february
14th,
I
think
originally
deferred
from
january.
If
I
remember
right,
it's
a
rezone.
A
A
The
subject
area
is
located
at
the
southwestern
edge
of
the
boise
city
limits
near
the
intersection
of
gowan
road
and
orchard
street
to
the
north
is
a
varied
mix
of
uses
and
zones,
mostly
characterized
by
assorted,
commercial
and
industrial
operations
to
the
west.
The
area
abuts
a
medium
density,
single
family
neighborhood
and
to
the
south
and
east
lots
are
undeveloped.
It
is
designated
by
the
comprehensive
plan.
Future
land
use
as
industrial
and
the
airport
is
less
than
a
half
mile
away
to
the
northeast.
A
A
The
proposed
buffer
has
been
conditioned
and
increased
to
100
feet
or
approximately
three
acres
and
limits
on
the
most
impactful
m1
allowed
uses
have
been
added.
Additionally,
the
applicant
has
included
a
condition
indicating
intention
to
work
with
the
parks
department
to
explore
additional
public
space
along
the
ridge
line.
As
seen
here,
the
planning
team
has
continued
to
receive
public
comment
in
opposition
to
the
request.
A
The
planning
team
maintains
that
the
proposed
m1d
zone
is
most
appropriate
for
the
property
as
the
underlying
future
land
use,
designation
is
industrial
and
the
m1
zone
is
defined
as
allowing
light
industrial
uses
that
may
be
appropriate
near
residential
development
owned
by
the
airport
and
adjacent
to
current
airport
infrastructure.
The
site
has
been
planned
to
site
at
aviation
supported
industrial
since
the
time
of
purchase
further.
Any
future
development
will
be
required
to
go
through
added
review
with
the
design
review
process,
which
includes
a
traffic
impact
study
to
ensure
compatibility,
and
that
may
include
additional
hearings.
A
B
B
O
O
Our
department
operates
as
an
enterprise
fund
rather
than
a
general
fund
within
the
city,
which
means
we
do
not
use
any
six
city
tax
dollars
to
operate
as
a
recipient
of
federal
grant
money.
Our
department
is
required
to
implement
a
schedule
of
rates
and
charges
and
maximize
our
assets
in
order
to
make
the
airport
as
financially
self-sustaining
as
possible
as
a
result
of
receiving
federal
funding.
We
have
more
restrictions
on
the
use
of
our
property
than
the
general
fund
department
may
have.
O
As
crystal
mentioned,
the
development
agreement
that
would
now
accompany
these
parcels
includes
increasing
the
size
of
the
buffer
along
the
border
of
the
westernmost
property
parcel
from
60
foot
to
100
foot.
A
typical
m1d
zone
only
requires
a
15
to
20
foot
setback
next
to
residential
in
response
to
neighborhood
concerns.
We've
come
through
the
designated
uses
of
the
m1d
property
and
specified,
which
would
be
prohibited
like
using
these
parcels
for
a
composting
facility
or
a
trucking
terminal
where
truck
stop
or
fueling
station
is
the
primary
use,
and
we
are
also
outlining
in
the
development
agreement.
O
So
this
means
there
would
be
the
building,
so
there'd
be
the
space
any
vehicle
parking,
if
necessary,
private
vehicle
parking,
the
building
itself
and
then
the
truck
loading
and
unloading
on
the
other
side
of
the
building
and
the
last
major
item
included
in
the
development
agreement.
Is
our
efforts
toward
preserving
an
area
in
the
vicinity
of
the
ridge
for
future
public
use.
We
anticipate
this
could
be
accomplished
through
an
agreement
with
boise
city
parks
and
recreation,
while
the
specifics
of
the
ridge
project
are
still
being
determined.
O
E
My
name
is
este
lafrenz,
I
live
at
7604,
west
thunder
mountain
drive
and
I
am
the
south
coal
neighborhood
association
president.
I
am
also
a
licensed
professional
engineer.
I
want
to
begin
this
presentation
by
stating
that
the
scna
is
requesting
the
denial
of
this
application,
along
with
the
d.a
for
tonight's
presentation.
E
Next
for
tonight's
presentation,
I
would
like
to
address
and
answer
some
of
the
commission's
previous
comments
and
concerns.
I
have
responses
to
commissioner
gillespie's
comments
on
the
best
use
of
the
land
and
to
commissioner
mooney's
comments
on
considering
what
was
previously
done
for
the
locale
development.
But
I
want
to
start
by
saying
that
I
watched
last
monday's
pnz
hearing
and
there
was
a
proposed
baskin-robbins
ice
cream
shop
on
overland
near
five
mile
that
requested
a
variance
for
its
drive-through
being
150
feet
from
the
residential
property
line.
E
That
variance
was
denied
and
the
commissioner
stead
stated
that
having
idling
cars
150
feet
from
her
residence
would
be
an
issue
and
later
stated
that
it
is
a
big
deal
when
it
has
to
do
with
something
like
the
health
and
the
air
pollution
that
might
be
generated
with
residents
so
close
nearby.
I
want
to
point
out
that
this
development
agreement
is
requesting
100
feet
of
setback
from
the
homes
and
that
heavy-duty
diesel.
Semi-Truck
exhaust
is
orders
of
magnitude,
worse
than
idling
passenger
vehicles.
E
My
agenda
will
include
why
the
a-2
parcels
were
zoned
differently
than
a1
parcels.
We
will
look
at
the
existing
home
proximity
in
the
ridge
line,
creating
a
non-build
area.
Then
we
will
review
adler's
industrial
park
plans,
environmental
and
health
effects
from
warehouse
distribution
centers,
along
with
the
impacts
to
climate
change
due
to
increasing
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
E
We
will
also
look
at
the
loss
of
the
natural
sagebrush
step
area,
airport,
land
use
and
community
harmony
and
a
final
look
at
our
municipal
code.
I
hope
the
rest
of
my
neighborhoods
and
citizens
throughout
the
city
will
help
me
fill
in
the
gaps.
If
I
can
forget
something
important
next,
I
would
like
to
begin
by
looking
at
the
rezone
application
that
occurred
in
2005..
E
The
application
does
indicate
that
the
a2
parcels
were
rezoned
from
ada
county
rural
preservation.
The
difference
in
these
parcels
from
others
in
the
area
was
that
first,
the
land
was
located
immediately
adjacent
to
a
residential
development,
but
the
second
reason
was
the
ridgeline
hillside.
Next,
this
topographic
map
shows
elevation
by
color.
So
it's
easy
to
see
the
ridge
line
here.
The
highest
elevation
is
about
876
meters
in
light
pink
and
the
lowest
about
851
meters
in
teal
blue.
So
this
shows
the
elevation
change
of
about
25
meters
or
82
feet.
E
E
E
Next
adler
indicates
in
his
email
that
he
revised
area
2
to
reflect
the
topography
changes
likely
at
the
request
of
the
airport,
so
it
appears
that
he
squished
his
development
all
around
the
ridgeline
to
fit
the
area,
and
this
is
where
the
walking
path
would
be.
Next,
then,
adler's
final
map
for
the
development
of
these
parcels
is
shown
here
that
yellow
squiggly
area
in
the
center
parcel
is
defined
as
non-build
area
adler
calls
this
entire
thing
area
two,
because
this
is
part
of
a
larger
industrial
park,
development
with
31
warehouse
and
manufacturing
buildings.
E
Next
adler
proposes
that
area
2
will
consist
of
larger
tenants
that
have
either
warehousing
distribution
or
manufacturing
uses.
He
further
states
that
building
sizes
can
be
adjusted
to
have
fenced
in
outdoor
storage
areas
or
additional
trailer
parking
spots,
two
amenities
that
are
in
high
demand,
with
industrial
tenants
and
in
low
supply
in
the
treasure
valley.
This
would
indicate
numerous
semi-truck
trailers.
E
Next,
let's
take
a
look
at
the
cumulative
project
area.
One
is
shown
in
the
top
right.
The
road
going
through
the
middle
of
that
map
is
victory
road
in
between
coal
and
orchard.
This
consists
of
23
warehouse
and
manufacturing
building
types
on
the
north
and
south
sides
of
victory.
This
portion
of
the
project
is
likely
already
rubber
stamped
because
the
area
has
been
previously
zoned,
m1d
or
m2d.
E
Some
of
them
to
the
south
of
victory
just
happened
a
few
months
ago,
get
ready
for
all
the
additional
truck
traffic
on
coal
road
in
front
of
costco,
where
queuing
already
exceeds
three
light
cycles
at
peak
times.
Maybe
they'll
redirect
these
trucks
on
victory
back
to
orchard.
Next,
I'm
showing
the
traffic
impact
analysis
on
a
cumulative
basis,
which
I
just
updated
today,
based
on
the
development
plans
that
I
just
showed
to
you
and
the
ach
comments
that
were
just
uploaded
into
a
cella
today.
E
Achd
did
provide
comments
on
the
existing
conditions
and
the
proper
ite
trip
generation
rapes,
but
the
airport
still
has
not
provided
its
own
traffic
study
for
this
project.
Next
now,
I'm
looking
at
some
of
the
air
quality
pollution
from
vehicle
exhaust
using
the
mfact
2021
simulation
model
for
on-road
mobile
source
emissions
assuming
worker
trips
at
an
average
of
eight
miles
one
way,
and
that
would
be
a
mixture
of
light
duty,
auto
and
light
duty
trucks.
E
I
can
calculate
the
emissions
from
passenger
vehicles
and
assuming
the
average
of
20
miles
for
heavy-duty
diesel
trucks,
which
is
just
an
average
for
the
study.
I
can
calculate
emissions
from
the
semi-trucks
now.
The
hard
part
is
explaining
these
numbers
in
terms
of
things
that
are
understood
or
regulated
in
idaho.
I
totaled
them
up
and
find
that
nox
emissions
are
very
close
to
a
large
industrial
stationary
source
of
air
pollution.
Carbon
dioxide
emissions
exceed
37
000
metric
tons
of
carbon
dioxide
using
the
ipcc's
emission
factor
for
tree
sequestration.
E
This
amount
of
carbon
dioxide
emitted
would
require
a
forest
of
1.1
million
trees
to
offset
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
Next
again,
I
show
you
the
urban
heat
island
effect
surrounding
the
airport,
and
I
can
say
with
certainty
that
this
will
continue
to
get
worse.
Next,
I
requested
the
1997
comprehensive
plan
map
through
public
records
request.
This
is
the
map
published
in
september
2008,
approximately
three
years
after
these
parcels
were
zoned
a2,
I'm
showing
an
arrow
pointing
to
a
green
area
that
is
indian
lakes,
golf
course,
and
then
to
the
east
of
that.
E
Are
the
a2
parcels
look
at
the
right
side
under
land
use
designations
and
see
that
the
teal
blue
color
is
planned.
Industrial
gray,
hash
marks
is
just
airport
and
light.
Green
hash
marks
is
airport
conservation,
I'm
now
going
to
zoom
in
on
the
a2
parcel
area
and
the
published
date
next
now,
the
arrow
that
points
to
the
green
parcel
as
indian
lakes
golf
course
is
next
to
the
a2
area.
That
doesn't
really
look
like
any
color
at
all.
Remember
that
the
teal
blue
is
the
planned
industrial.
E
The
location
south
of
the
airport
is
clearly
airport
conservation
area.
I'm
not
sure
why
the
city's
version
of
this
map
is
different
than
the
one
I
received
through
public
records
request,
but
I
can
say
that
the
a2
parcels
appeared
different
than
the
airport
conservation
area
to
the
south
of
the
airport.
I
urge
you
to
request
this
map
through
the
public
records
request
to
see
for
yourself
next.
E
I
also
requested
the
land
use
map
definitions
which
define
the
airport
airport
conservation
area
as
the
area
south
of
the
developed
boise
airport
reserved
for
future
expansion.
The
allowed
use
for
that
land
are
livestock,
grazing
mining
farming
and
non-invasive
recreation
such
as
golf
courses.
Next
now
I
want
to
switch
topics
to
a
different,
but
equally
important
topic.
We
had
a
few
different
people
from
the
city.
Walk
this
property
over
the
winter,
including
professional
biologists
and
botanists.
This
area
is
considered
one
of
the
last
remaining
sagebrush
step
areas
in
boise.
E
These
pictures
were
taken
to
show
the
cryptobiotic
crust,
lycans
rabbit,
brush
and
great
basin.
Wild
rye
cryptobiotic
crusts
have
a
layer
of
biotic
organisms
dominated
by
cyanobacteria
and
have
been
dubbed
the
protector
of
the
desert
because
of
this
sticky
webs
of
soil
that
retain
water,
so
that
plants
are
able
to
root
into
this
spongy
crust
and
survive
hot
dry
conditions.
Next,
this
plant
is
commonly
named
slick,
spot
pepper
grass.
E
This
plant
grows
in
the
sagebrush
step
ecosystem
found
in
microsites
called
slick
spots
covering
cryptogamic
crusts,
like
the
photo
that
I
just
showed
you
from
the
a2
parcels.
Next
slick,
spot
pepper
grass
is
listed
in
the
federal
reserve
under
the
endangered
and
threatened
wildlife
and
plants
section.
I
pulled
this
map
from
the
federal
register
and
also
the
description
of
the
area
called
subunit
2.
E
E
Several
airports
across
across
the
country
have
faced
the
challenges
of
building
too
close
to
the
city
which
doesn't
allow
proper
airport
expansion
and
operation.
I
can
also
say
that
the
letter
from
the
three
national
guard
generals
to
the
planning
and
zoning
commission
over
the
summer
echoed
this
sentiment
to
slow
down
the
expansive
gross
growth
of
the
southwest
area
of
influence
or
risk.
What
has
happened
to
other
airports
that
were
forced
by
a
judge
in
the
court
system
to
relocate?
E
A
couple
of
specific
airports
are
santa
monica
and
the
denver
airport
that
were
forced
by
a
judge
to
relocate
with
all
of
the
upgrades
to
parking
garages
and
other
airport
infrastructure.
We
aren't
suggesting
for
the
boise
airport
to
relocate.
I
for
one
like
having
a
12-minute
drive
to
the
airport,
I'm
suggesting
that
the
airport
should
maintain
harmony
with
the
surrounding
community.
E
There
is
no
reason
that
every
square
inch
of
land
owned
by
the
airport
should
be
built
upon
creating
a
horrible
landing
and
takeoff
view
of
a
non-stop
landscape
of
concrete
and
asphalt
and
metal,
warehouses
and
semi
trucks.
But
I
am
suggesting
that
some
parcels
should
be
left
as
the
natural
idaho
landscape,
because
after
all,
that
is
what
makes
us
love
boise.
Next
to
address.
Commissioner
mooney's
comment
on
what
industrial
zoning
was
approved
for
for
the
locale
development.
I've
taken
this
figure
from
the
syringa
valley,
specific
plan,
which
is
now
called
locale.
E
This
shows
industrial
is
touching.
Only
commercial
to
the
north
is
idaho
state
land
and
to
the
east
is
ada
county
rural
preservation.
I've
also
added
in
the
newer
commercial
zone
next
to
the
mr
area,
and
I
hope
that
you
won't
extend
the
industrial
zone
to
the
north
to
be
touching
the
proposed
school.
That
would
be
a
mistake,
but
it
looks
to
me
like
they
have
done
a
good
job
of
separating
the
industrial
area
from
the
residential
area.
Next
now
I
want
to
respond
to
the
da
that
was
just
placed
into
the
application.
E
I
understand
this
is
similar,
but
not
exactly
the
same
as
blue
valley
in
blue
valley.
It
was
a
trucking
terminal
and
the
d.a
states
that
this
project
will
not
include
a
trucking
terminal,
specifically
with
a
refueling
station.
I
want
to
remind
you
that
mayor
mclean,
then
city
council
president,
stated
to
boise
deb.
Sometimes
you
find
our
codes
fail
us,
and
this
was
one
of
those
times.
It's
our
responsibility
to
protect
the
health
and
safety
of
our
citizens,
but
I'm
not
talking
about
trucking
terminals.
E
Now
we're
talking
about
this
next
last
year,
headlines
like
these
were
splashed
all
over
southern
california.
The
top
left
nbc
news,
article
states
treated
like
sacrifices,
families
breathe
toxic
fumes
from
california's
warehouse
hub,
then
below
the
industry
is
booming,
but
the
cost
is
seen
through
people's
asthma,
people's
cancer
and
the
lack
of
good
jobs.
E
The
south
coast,
air
quality
management
district
in
the
los
angeles
area,
passed
the
warehouse,
indirect
source
rule
in
a
9-4
vote
to
implement
a
system
aimed
at
reducing
the
exposure
of
nitrogen
dioxide,
nox
and
diesel
particulate
matter
in
the
air
over
the
next
three
years.
If
all
of
this
industrial
development
is
approved
here,
then
boise
is
on
the
same
path
to
becoming
a
smoggy
la.
E
Unfortunately,
in
idaho,
our
environmental
regulations
remain
in
the
previous
century,
and
I
would
say
that
they
are
at
least
20
years
behind
california,
but
this
is
happening
now,
a
side
note
for
planners.
This
is
the
right
time
to
include
traffic
and
environmental
regulations
in
the
new
zoning
code
rewrite
and,
if
not
now,
then,
when
next,
we
discussed
previously
that
diesel
particulate
matter
is
a
carcinogen
as
defined
by
the
world
health
organization
10
years
ago.
E
Next,
20
years
ago,
the
south
coast,
air
district,
released
its
guidance
document
called
health
risk
assessment
guidance
for
analyzing
cancer
risks
from
mobile
source
diesel
emissions.
This
type
of
study
can
tell
you
the
appropriate
placement
for
this
industrial
development,
as
it
will
determine
the
distance
necessary
to
ensure
health
standards.
This
isopleth
is
an
example
showing
the
cancer
risk
at
the
point
of
maximum
impact
and
the
maximum
exposed
individual
resident.
E
Next,
some
residents
in
our
community
have
received
letters
from
their
health
care
practitioners.
This
demonstrates
that
our
medical
community
confirms
the
impacts
to
underlying
health
conditions
and
negative
effects
to
quality
of
life
due
to
the
possible
industrial
development.
Next,
the
standards
for
fire
service
protection
is
a
1.5
mile
service
area
and
a
four
minute
response
time.
I
want
to
note
that
the
response
time
from
fire
station
17
will
be
six
to
seven
minutes
depending
on
the
route
traveled.
Next,.
E
This
is
showing
the
fema
100-year
floodplain,
also
known
as
flood
zone.
A
conditions
should
be
placed
on
any
developments
in
flood
zones
to
restrict
the
use
of
hazardous
materials
in
chemical
storage,
and
tenants
should
be
advised
that
additional
federal
flood
insurance
may
be
required.
This
may
affect
the
a1
parcels
next.
E
If
you
disagree
with
the
environmental
content
of
this
presentation,
then
please
understand
that
as
a
city
entity,
you
should
comply
with
your
own
municipal
code.
If
this
project
were
to
be
brought
in
front
of
a
judge,
I
would
expect
them
to
maintain
that
the
airport
must
abide
by
the
law.
The
planning
department
can't
change
words
from
the
law
or
use
the
excuse
that
a
mistake
was
made
17
years
ago
when
the
a2
zone
was
applied
and
that
the
board
of
commissioners
has
the
obligation
to
uphold
municipal
code
as
law.
E
The
law
says
permanent,
the
environmental.
Next,
the
environmental
and
human
health
impacts
could
be
detrimental,
significant
and
unavoidable,
including
nighttime
light
pollution
day
and
night
noise,
diesel,
exhaust
and
air
pollution
with
the
potential
to
negatively
impact
human
health.
This
rezone
would
cause
harm
to
the
habitat
for
many
idaho
plant
and
animal
species,
including
those
that
are
threatened.
E
B
B
C
C
O
O
But
after
hearing
from
the
commission
and
discussing
it
over
internally
city-wise,
we
determined
a
hundred
foot
just
based
upon.
If
you
were
to
go
out
there
or
go
out
to
any
park,
maybe
school
yard
or
something
and
toss
the
ball
around
with
your
dog.
That
kind
of
gives
you
adequate
space
again.
We
are
not
the
parks
department,
though
so
this
is
not
a
public
park.
D
C
So
that
doesn't
give
me
a
lot
of
comfort,
just
to
be
honest,
typically
with
large,
rezones
or
annexations,
we
typically
see
a
concept
plan.
I
saw
that
the
neighborhood
association
flashed
something
up
in
their
presentation.
However,
unless
I've
missed
it,
I
haven't
seen
anything.
So
it's
really
hard
to
understand
what
you're
proposing
from
a
youth
standpoint,
how
the
circulation
plan
will
look
where
the
buildings
are
located.
Can
you
walk
me
through
why
we
haven't
seen
that.
O
Mr
chair
commissioner
squires
this
is
this
is
not
no
development's
going
to
happen
unless
this
rezone
happens.
It's
city
of
boise
property,
any
renderings
that
the
neighborhood
association
has
shared
were
based
upon
a
very
high
level,
rfi
that
we
had
sent
out
to
the
to
the
developers
to
quite
a
few
developers,
and
we
received
quite
a
few
responses
back.
O
M
A
Mr
chair,
commissioner,
moore
there
is,
there
are
documents
between
achd
and
the
city
of
boise
that
outline
kind
of
the
estimated
network
of
roadways
out
here.
I'm
sorry,
I
did
not
include
that
in
my
slides
today,
but
conversations
with
comprehensive
planning
and
achd
have
indicated
that
that
will
be
addressed
during
design
review
of
the
total
circulation
of
course
again
based
upon
what
development
goes
in
there.
M
M
A
A
Mr
chair,
commissioner
gillespie,
that
was
that
conceptual
drawing
was
not
submitted
to
the
city
in
any
official
form.
Yet,
but
from
what
I've
seen,
it
is
just
a
site
plan
showing
the
outlines
of
building
footprints.
We
still
don't
know
what
use
would
be
in
there,
so
that
would
be
yet
to
be
determined.
K
N
B
P
I
think
this
is
for
staff.
In
my
estimation,
this
is
boiling
down
to
comp
plan
friction,
and
so
I'm,
I
guess
my
question-
is
it's
effectively
in
our
staff
report
in
our
agenda
packet,
where
we're
basically
using
the
city's
enterprise
fund
activity,
which
is
a
major
driver
of
the
economy
and
we're
saying
that
the
strong,
diverse
economy
in
the
comp
plan
is
what's
driving
the
application
and
the
approval.
P
But
we
don't
talk
about
the
piece
of
the
comp
plan,
which
is
environmental
stewardship,
which
is
much
of
the
concern,
obviously
from
the
from
the
neighbors
and
the
opposing
testimony
written
testimony.
So
my
question
is
in
our
staff
report.
Why
didn't
we
address
the
environmental
stewardship
piece
of
the
comp
plan.
A
Mr
chair,
commissioner
mooney
there
are
no
codified.
Sorry,
I'm
losing
the
word,
we're
that's
not
a
finding
that
we
have
to
make
currently
for
the
actual
like
free
zone.
As
far
as
the
comprehensive
plan
goes,
you
know
it
is
designated
as
industrial
in
the
future
land
use
map,
and
so
that
is
in
a
staff's
opinion,
how
it
aligns
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
P
P
O
Mr
chair,
commissioner
mooney,
I
believe
because
we
we
thought
this
was
a
re-zone
and
that
would
be
handled
in
the
process
and
handled
comments
from
the
fire
department
and
achd
the
traffics,
and
all
that
I
do
have
some
information
on
environmental
that
I
can
discuss
later
on.
If
I
don't
I'm
not
sure
when
that's
appropriate,
but
it
is
if
you're
interested,
I
could
present
it
now,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
that's
part
of
the
process.
A
A
P
Yeah
and
I
I
saw
the
fire
comments
and
they
didn't
really
answer
the
questions
that
the
written
opposition
testimony
concerns
in
the
neighborhood
association
about
response
times,
and
they
talked
about
fire
hydrants
on
some
of
the
streets,
and
so
it's
kind
of
limited.
The
parks
piece,
especially
if
this
hillside
quote-unquote
hillside
piece,
is
a
future
public
use
area.
If
that's
what's
being
proposed
in
the
development
agreement,
then
I
would
think
the
parks
department
would
have
weighed
in
on
that
as
well.
P
B
A
B
K
K
How
to
the
neighborhood
association,
so
the
so-called
adler
proposal
isn't
part
of
this
packet.
There's
no
formal
proposal,
there's
no
formal
application,
and
yet
you
seem
to
be
the
neighborhood
association
seems
to
be
hanging
its
hat
on
that
piece
of
data
that
you
have
and
saying.
This
is
why
we
should
deny
the
rezone,
but,
as
bob
has
just
pointed
out,
all
of
that
adler
stuff
isn't
really
it's
hard
for
me
to
understand
its
place
in
the
record.
K
E
So
my
understanding
from
our
previous
hearing
was
that,
if
these
are
warehouses
that
this
won't
go
back
to
a
public
hearing
because
it's
already
approved
and
it
doesn't
require
a
conditional
use
permit.
So
if
it's
not
going
to
go
back
to
a
public
hearing,
I
want
to
give
you
all
the
information
that
we
have
right
now,
because
I
won't
be
able
to
show
it
to
you
later.
E
I
I
K
So
I
have
a
question
for
mary
and
crystal
so:
is
it
within
the
purview
of
this
commission
to
add
a
recommendation
that
the
development
agreement
require
a
cup
for
any
future
development
of
the
a2
or
the
western
part
of
the
parcels?
Can
we
can
we,
in
a
sense,
just
add
that
cup
layer
to
the
a2
section
whenever
there
is
a
proposal,
or
is
that
something
we
can
do
in
a
development
agreement.
L
Commissioner
or
mr
chair
and
then
commissioner
gillespie,
I
believe
it
is
within
the
purview
of
this
commission
to
be
able
to
add
a
condition
into
the
development
agreement
if
you're,
adding
that
additional
layer
of
procedure
to
be
defined
by
boise
city
code.
That
condition
just
needs
to
be
very
well
outlined
within
that
development
agreement.
L
Another
option
for
the
commission,
similar
to
what's
already
been
proposed,
is
that
they've
already
declined
or
conditioned
this
development
agreement
that
there
will
be
no
trucking
terminal
or
composting
facility
in
that
particular
area.
That's
another
option
for
this
commission
would
be
to
add
or
limit
a
use
in
that
fashion.
B
B
A
B
B
So,
mrs
snyder,
I
want
to
just
a
couple
questions
about
the
100
foot
buffer
on
the
west
side
that
you're
proposing
to
start
in
your
there's.
Not
it's
in
the
d.a,
it's
in
it's
in
your
draft
ea
in
our
packet.
It
says
you're
going
to
dedicate
this
100-foot
buffer,
for
I
think
it
was
just
landscape
in
your
mind.
Is
there
well,
let
me
just
read
it:
there
shall
be
a
hundred
foot
non-billed
area
along
the
western
border
of
the
subject
site
where
there
shall
be
no
building
or
street
as
defined
by
the
development
code.
B
O
B
B
B
A
B
R
M
M
P
And
city
staff
was
with
parks
and
fire
and
police
on
this
application
was
there
ever
did
parks
ever
come
forward
and
say
hey
that
far
western
parcel
we
could
buy
that
and
we
could
use
open
space
funds
and
preserve
it
to
commissioner
moore's
question
about.
How
do
we
preserve
was
that
ever
discussed.
O
L
Mr
chair,
commissioner
mooney,
the
relationship
there
is
that
the
enterprise
has
to
fund
has
to
be
made
whole,
so
any
loss
that
is
experienced
by
an
enterprise
fund,
whether
that's
airport
or
that's,
the
water,
renewal
or
whatnot.
If
it's
something
that's
being
put
to
use
for
general
city
purposes,
the
general
fund
has
to
make
that
fund
whole.
Does
that
answer
your
question?
Yes,.
B
B
O
Mr
chair,
it
is
only
a
placeholder,
it
shouldn't
be
used
as
a
depiction
of
the
actual
area,
because
until
we
get
the
geotech
work
and
all
the
elevations
figured
out,
we
won't
know
what
how
far
we
can
develop
onto
that
area.
So
we
just
know
we
want
to
discuss
with
parks
and
recreation,
some
sort
of
an
agreement.
Maybe
we
can
enter
into
a
memorandum
of
agreement
where
they
can
develop
that
into
a
space
that
could
be
used.
We
just
have
to
be
careful
that
it
was
not
a
permanent
space.
B
B
B
B
B
B
Anyone
here
tonight
is
welcome
to
provide
testimony
pretty
simple
ground
rules.
You
get
three
minutes.
Please
come
up
to
the
podium
here
when
you're
ready
to
speak.
You
have
three
minutes.
Please
start
testimony
with
your
name
and
your
address
and
then
the
clock
will
start
you'll
get
three
minutes
and
there
will
be
a
little
buzzer
at
three
minutes.
B
That
tells
you
your
time
is
up
we'll
start
with
all
of
the
folks
here
in
person,
and
then
we
have
a
few
folks
online
as
well
we'll
go
to
those
folks
after
you
all
they're
here
in
person
again,
please
no,
no,
cheering,
no
applause
and
when
you
are
addressed,
please
address
the
commission.
This
is
us
for
us
to
understand
your
concerns
and
your
comments,
and
we
really
shouldn't
be.
You
know
arguing
with
one
another
during
your
testimony,
so
we
have
a
whole
bunch
of
folks
that
signed
up.

The
property
that's
at
the
north
has
an
80-year
history
of
bringing
members
together
who
cherish
the
western
way
of
life
that
which
we
are
all
here
to
fight
for.
We
love
being
outdoors,
enjoy
spending
time
with
friends,
family
and
our
equine
partners.
My
children
have
grown
up
riding
and
learning
to
appreciate
nature
in
the
treasure
valley,
where
we
once
could
ride
and
hike
in
the
nearby
fields,
pastures
and
ditch
banks.
X
The
growth
and
building
in
our
area
has
made
that
nearly
impossible
planning
is
part
of
your
mandate,
planning
for
the
future
planning
for
controlled
growth,
planning
for
economic
impacts,
planning
for
infrastructure
and
planning
for
open
space.
We
would
like
to
oppose
the
rezoning
of
that
area.
Thank
you.
Z
Z
Every
day
we
see
more
and
more
of
our
land
being
turned
into
businesses
and
industrial
parks.
We
need
to
fight
to
keep
open
space
where
it
is
lands
designated
as
permanent,
open
space
were
done.
So
for
many
reasons,
but
most
important
to
me
is
that
it
provides
a
buffer
for
all
of
the
residential
housing
that
has
been
put
in,
and
the
wildlife
right
now
we're
taking
up
their
their
land
and
animals
are
being
forced
to
move
into
housing
and
and
endangering
the
public
we've
developed.
Z
So
much
of
the
land
in
that
area
already
and
we've
started
to
see
the
wildlife
coming
into
neighborhoods.
This
rezoning
would
only
increase
that
more.
As
far
as
the
property
located
at
5121
west
gowan,
this
borders,
the
land
that
western
writing
club
is
currently
located
on
western,
is
the
longest
standing
riding
club
in
the
treasure
valley.
Z
So
as
a
good
neighbor,
we've
worked
hard
to
have
community
activities
and
strive
to
maintain
our
property
in
a
way
that
ensures
all
the
neighbors
are
able
to
enjoy
the
amazing
views
that
were
promised
to
them
when
they
bought
their
homes.
By
allowing
this
rezoning,
you
put
in
jeopardy
our
facility
and
its
continued
future.
If
the
current
plan
is
approved,
it
will
put
a
huge
monstrosity
of
a
building
in
the
way
of
our
current
amazing
view.
In
the
mountains
and
city,
it
will
add
to
the
traffic
in
the
area
that
is
already
overcrowded.
Z
It
will
bring
in
a
huge
amount
of
semi
trucks
and
heavy
equipment
that
will
be
very
detrimental
to
the
training
environment
of
the
horses
and
create
a
potentially
unsafe
environment-
and
I
didn't
have
this
in
my
speech,
but
based
on
what
we
just
saw
tonight.
The
property
does
not
show
or
the
the
development
plans
does
not
show
a
buffer
on
our
side.
I
only
shows
it
on
the
residential
side
so
from
what
I'm
gathering
from
that
is,
we
will
not
have
any
buffer
to
our
training
facility,
which
is
our
our
trail
course
and
our
arena.
Z
The
construction
alone
will
deter
members
from
coming
out
to
the
club.
This
will
in
turn,
limit
our
ability
to
maintain
the
membership
numbers
we
need
to
operate
and
pay
our
bills.
Members
join
our
club
to
enjoy
a
peaceful
and
safe
location
to
ride
and
train
their
horses
without
dangers
of
loud
noises
and
construction.
Z
G
G
The
club
opposes
the
rezoning
of
these
two
land
parcels,
or
at
least
the
two
that
we
we
have
on
our
border.
This
area
of
open
space
is
an
access
for
equestrians
to
trail
ride
through
sagebrush
and
out
even
further
south
of
these
two
parcels
into
the
department
of
idaho
state
lands
and
blm
land.
This
development
would
prevent
access
to
recreational
land
use
for
equestrians.
G
G
There
already
is
a
lack
of
open
space
in
this
area,
south
of
boise,
definitely
more
open
space
available
to
the
north
of
the
city,
the
boise
foothills.
As
we
all
know
here,
the
trails
are
often
very
crowded
with
other
users
trail
users,
making
it
a
big
challenge
for
us
equestrians
out
here
in
the
desert.
Sagebrush
equestrians
can
still
trail
ride
and
yet
be
close
to
the
city.
G
Lastly,
there
is
an
abundance
of
wildlife
from
multiple
bird
habitats,
local
migratory
and
birds
of
prey
all
listed
on
our
neighbor's
website
b-o-s-a,
along
with
the
other
animals
who
inhabit
the
high
desert
landscape,
our
club
was
established
in
1941
on
25.6
acres,
those
men,
women
and
families
who,
more
than
80
years
ago
built
this
equestrian
club
are
counting
on
us
and
you
to
keep
these
parcels
zoned
open
space
for
all.
We
are
aware
of
the
incredible
rate
of
which
areas
of
open
space
around
us
are
vanishing
what
will
be
left
for
the
future
generations.
G
AA
I
am
here
to
join
them
in
opposing
the
rezoning
of
this
beautiful
piece
of
land
for
industrial
use.
I
consider
myself
really
fortunate
to
live
in
a
part
of
the
city
that
has
has
plentiful
access
to
open
spaces
from
city
parks,
to
the
green
belt,
to
the
foothills
trails
to
the
north.
I
believe
that
everyone
in
boise
has
the
right
to
open
spaces,
regardless
of
their
neighborhood
or
zip
code.
AA
F
F
F
This
is
just
another
of
the
many
moves
that
opens
up
ideas
for
all
of
our
open
space,
eventually
getting
taken
up
by
buildings
and
warehouses,
pretty
soon
we'll
look
back
and,
and
it
will
all
be
gone,
we'll
wish
we
still
had
it,
but
it'll
be
too
late
in
the
future.
I
want
the
other
generations
to
grow
up
in
a
privileged
boise,
idaho,
like
we
have
now
now.
It's
just
a
common
city
filled
with
buildings
that
are
that
aren't
any
different
than
other
places
around
the
world.
F
My
group
is
focusing
on
outdoor
accessibility
and
we
have
narrowed
it
down
to
working
and
testifying
against
this
proposal.
We
have
visited
the
open
space
multiple
times
throughout
our
testimony,
so
we
can
actually
see
what
this
plan
would
affect.
We
genuinely
want
to
help
and
stop
the
plan
of
making
the
open
space
where
people
ride
horses,
hike,
explore,
etc
from
being
an
industrial
park.
Thank
you
again
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.

go

near

These
peaceful

are
the
highlight
of
my
day
if
the
proposed
project
is
given

go-ahead.

In
november
of
2021,
boise
city
council
unanimously
approved
a
lease
agreement
with
amazon.
This
lease
states
that
the
city
will
spend
22
million
dollars
on
supporting
infrastructure
for
an
amazon
air
hub
at
the
boise
city
airport.
Should
the
city
find
one
other
tenant
who
would
directly
benefit
from
this
infrastructure
investment,
then
that
22
million
dollars
would
be
reimbursed
to
the
city
by
the
faa,
the
153
acres
that
is
proposed
to
be
rezoned
to
light
industrial
falls
within
the
geographic
scope
of
that
benefit.
AD
Simply
put
the
22
million
dollars
does
not
work
for
good
paying
jobs
in
idaho.
According
to
data
given
to
local
483
by
the
international
brotherhood
of
teamsters,
located
in
washington
dc
when
a
large
amazon
facility
opens
in
the
united
states
average
compensation
for
similar
jobs
in
the
community
drops
more
than
six
percent
in
the
two
years
after
that
facility
opens
thousands
of
amazon
workers
across
the
country
receive
snap
food
benefit
assistance
because
they
are
not
able
to
purchase
food
on
an
amazon
wage.
AD
Conversely,
unionized
full-time
workers
at
the
boise
airport
are
paid
forty
dollars
an
hour,
receive
thirteen
dollars
an
hour
in
a
defined
pension
plan
and
have
a
fully
funded
health
care
plan.
Part-Time
workers
at
the
airport
are
paid
an
average
of
twenty
three
dollars
per
hour,
receive
twelve
dollars
an
hour
in
their
pension
and
pay
zero
dollars
out
of
pocket
for
their
health
for
their
health
care
plan.
Yet
amazon
fights
union
organizing
in
its
facilities
and
pays
15
to
17
an
hour
for
similar
positions.
AD
The
notion
that
amazon
provides
good
paying
jobs
and
is,
by
extension,
good
for
the
community,
is
not
based
in
reality
conclusively
this
re-zone
and
the
22
million
dollar
investment
does
not
work
for
idaho.
It
does
not
work
for
quality
of
labor.
The
proposed
rezone
does
not
work
for
our
neighborhoods.
The
removal
of
one
of
the
last
sagebrush
steps
does
not
fit
our
environmental
needs.
The
type
of
traffic
that
comes
with
an
amazon
airhub
and
this
re-zone
does
not
fit
our
already
stressed
city
infrastructure.

I

I'm
also
a
real
estate
agent
in

area,
and
I
can
tell
you
right
now:
those
poor
people
on
umatilla
are
going
to
lose,
probably
about
100
000
off
of
the
equity
of
their
home.
I
am
not
an
appraiser,
but
I
do
comps
all
the
time,
and
this
is
what
I've
been
seeing
with
our
market.
S
I
always
see
the
cart
being
put
before
the
horse,
and
I
don't
feel
like
that
is
responsible
growth,
and
I
want
to
talk
about
responsible
growth
just
of
all
the
impact
environmental
impacts
that
we
have,
I'm
originally
from
bakersfield.
California,
if
you
don't
know
where
that
is,
that
is
considered
one
of
the
armpits
of
california.
S
S
I've
had
maybe
six
bouts
of
bronchitis
since
I
moved
here,
but
I
see
boise
changing
to
a
place
like
bakersfield
and
it
breaks
my
heart.
I
have
so
much
love
for
this
city
and
to
see
it
develop.
The
way
it
has
with
just
voracity
and
a
lack
of
responsible
growth
is
sad
just
as
a
personal
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
my
business,
but
with
that
said,
I
just
want
to
tell
everybody
again.
I
am
not
in
favor
of
this.
We
just
need
to
keep
openly
and
sacred
around
these
parts.
AE
AE
I
would
just
ask
that
everybody
in
the
room
and
everybody
who's
making
these
decisions
for
reference.
Do
you
know
what
the
100
foot
setback?
Is
it's
approximately
the
distance
between
these
two
walls?
So
if
you
visualize
that
and
imagine
being
in
your
back
patio
at
5042
south
umatilla,
which
is
the
property
that
we
purchased
in
october
of
2020
as
our
retirement
home,
what
you
see
is
desert
and
mountains
and
sagebrush
and
wildlife.
Now
what
we
will
see
by
the
time
we
move
into
that
property
will
be
entirely
different,
it'll
be
the
cement
wall.
AE
I
keep
hearing
this
property,
or
this
being
presented
as
in
designated
industrial
use,
is
not
currently
designated
as
industrial
use.
It
is
designated
as
permanent,
open
space.
So
just
to
be
clear,
it
is
currently
designated
open
space
and
we
are
personally
hanging
our
hat
on
the
fact
that
we
bought
permanent
open
space.
In
addition
to
5042,
we
also
own
5043
south
umatilla,
which
we
bought
almost
30
years
ago
and
have
lived
there
for
20
years
of
our
lives
raised
our
daughter.
AE
AE
Two
homes
we've
personally
spent
over
five
hundred
thousand,
based
on
the
fact
that
it's
permanent
zoned
permanently
zoned
open
space,
but
equally
important,
if
not
more
so
than
our
financial
impact,
are
our
concerns
for
the
impact
and
the
health
and
well-being
of
ourselves
and
for
my
parents,
as
well
as
all
of
the
families
in
the
community
community
in
this
area,
there's
so
few
open
spaces
in
our
valley,
a
precious
commodity.
To
be
sure,
there
is
no
doubt
of
that.
AE
This
proposes
to
rezone
this
beautiful,
open
space
to
m1d
industrial,
which
will
allow
the
same
type
of
heavy
trucking
operations
and
maintenance
issues
that
have
been
previously
denied
in
other
areas.
In
the
valley,
you
cannot
seriously
say
that
the
health
and
safety
has
been
given
consideration
for
the
residents
of
this
community.
We
urge
the
city
of
boise
to
prevent
this
travesty
on
the
families
of
this
community
in
this
area,
reminding
you
again
of
the
distance
100
feet
is
between
the
two
walls.

Hi
linda
snow,
4902,
south
yamato
avenue,
for
28
years,
I've
lived
on
umatilla,
I've
raised
three
children,
there
had
two
husbands
and
four
dogs
and
two
cats.
I
remember
when
we
looked
at
this
house.
We
walked
out
into
the
backyard
and
the
view
and
the
open
space
is
what
sold
it
to
us.
We
knew
it
would
be.
Our
house.
People
asked
me
about
being
so
close
to
the
airport.
I
didn't
care
because
I
loved
the
permanent
open
space.
AF
When
I
was
told
that
no
one
could
build
behind
us
and
some
some
of
the
land
was
zone
permanent,
open
space,
the
deal
was
sealed.
That
was
our
house
over
the
years
we've
enjoyed
going
for
walks
out
in
the
field,
which
is
what
we
always
called
it
we've
seen:
coyotes
bunnies
badgers
whistle
pigs,
hawks
owls
quail
even
snakes.
I
love
them
all
and
we've
had
the
occasional
deer
once
in
a
while
too,
which
would
not
be
able
to
come
up
there
if
this
was
built
now
because
we
have
no
parks
in
southwest
boise.
AF
This
area
was
my
children's
playground.
We've
enjoyed
it,
the
beautiful
sun
rises.
My
husband
has
the
pictures
on
his
phone
to
prove
it.
He
has
hundreds
of
pictures
of
sunrises
on
his
phone.
We
get
the
most
beautiful
evening
light
and
when
it's
been
raining,
we
get
this
rainbow.
That
goes
it's
a
full
rainbow
and
it's
just
gorgeous
that
light
would
not
be
able
to
come
through
if
this
was
built
there,
because
it's
the
low
light
that
causes
the
rainbow.
AF
If
this
resin
happens
and
this
industrial
park
is
built,
all
of
that
will
be
gone.
My
grandkids
won't
get
to
enjoy
it
the
way
their
parents
did
and
I
won't
get
to
share
it
with
them.
Like
I've
said,
I've
lived
there
28
years
and
plan
on
living
there.
Until
I
can't
anymore,
this
house
is
our
biggest
investment
and
will
probably
help
pay
for
our
needs
later
in
life.
AF
AF
When
you
ask
yourself,
is
this:
if
this
rezone
is
in
the
best
interest
and
general
welfare
of
the
public,
and
does
it
preserve
the
compatibility
of
the
surrounding
development
know
that
the
answer
is
no,
it
will
not
please.
I
ask
you
please,
to
vote
on
this
rezoning
application
and
use
your
vote
to
have
a
positive
effect
on
others.
Save
wildlife,
save
our
views
and
think
of
the
best
interest
of
the
indian
lakes.
AF
AF
We
do
up
where
we
live
in
southwest
boise.
We
do
not
have
parks,
we
do
not
have
a
place
to
send
the
kids
to
go
play.
This
was
that
place
time.
Please
don't
take
that
away
from
us.
Please
vote
on
no
on
rezoning
this
land
and
leave
permanent
open
space
permanent
as
intended
by
those
who
came
before.
Thank
you.

where
I
go
to
play
with
my
friend
and
my
dogs.
It
makes
me
worry
for
myself
and
my
dog
to
have
warehouses
so
close.
R
What
if
there
are
chemicals
or
diesel
fuels
from
the
trucks
by
the
warehouses
or
in
the
houses
that
I
could
breathe
in
also,
this
was
supposed
to
be
open
space
forever
and
I
think
the
animals
are
great.
I
see
animals
like
bunnies
quails
and
birds,
and
I
won't
be
able
to
see
that
with
warehouses
so
close
by
what?
If
there's
machinery
incident
or
something
happens,
there
could
be
a
fire
and
there
isn't
a
fire
station
closed
by
this.
R
R
Hello,
my
name
is
audrey
russell.
I
live
at
5310
south
of
matilda
avenue.
I
dislike
the
thought
of
warehouses
outside
my
house.
Here's
why?
First
there
are
many
types
of
animals
out
in
the
desert,
including
bunnies
jackrabbits,
quail
whistle
pigs,
coyotes,
snakes,
ants
bird
of
prey
and
many
more.
If
you
continue
this
plan,
many
animals
will
be
forced
out
their
home
according
to
farmprogress.com,
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
like
a
like
reliable
website,
there
is
a
dramatic
drop
in
quail
population
caused
by
loss
of
habitat.
R
The
animals
inhabited
this
land
before
us,
so
why
should
we
steal
it
from
them?
Second,
I
understand.
Sometimes
you've
got
to
sacrifice
some
people's
houses
for
growth
in
cities.
I
see
that
you
guys
think
it's
only
15
houses
affected,
which
isn't
true
and
what
we're
trying
to
show
you
it's
an
entire
community
of
people
affected
many
people
love
using
this
area
to
walk
and
take
breaks
from
life.
If
we
take
this
away,
where
are
we
going
to
go?
There's
also
the
fact
that
there
aren't
many
parks
I
can
go
to
in
this
area.
R
That's
why
I
use
the
desert
doing
this
also
has
a
huge
effect
on
the
environment
in
a
bad
way.
If
we
do
this,
we
won't
have
much
open
space
and
boise
left
aside
from
the
foothills.
Third,
this
idea
doesn't
make
sense,
either.
First
there's
property
on
the
airport,
much
closer
to
the
actual
airport,
two
we're
really
going
to
build
a
nice
new
neighborhood.
Look
how
and
just
add
the
awesome
view
of
gray
walls.
It
just
doesn't
add
up
as
well
as
the
fact
that
they're
there,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
this
was
opened.
R
B
AG
My
name
is
amy
russell
and
I
also
live
at
5310
south
umatilla
avenue,
and
I'm
here
tonight
to
request
that
you
deny
the
airport's
application
to
raise
on
this
property.
I
believe
this
rezone
is
not
in
the
best
interest
of
public
convenience
or
general
welfare.
Each
of
the
homes
that
are
immediately
adjacent
to
the
property
in
question.
One
of
them
is
mine,
will
lose
valuable
home
equity
due
to
this
proposed
industrial
park.
AG
So
we
recently
had
an
appraisal
done
on
our
home,
and
I
have
a
copy
that
after
I
speak
I'd
like
to
share
with
you
as
part
of
the
public
record,
my
home
was
compared
to
a
similar
home
that
sold
this
fall
in
our
subdivision.
That
happens
to
be
the
same
distinct
architectural
style
that
we
have
similar
square
footage.
It
was
an
exceptional
comp
and
the
main
difference
between
the
two
homes
was
the
additional
value
that
our
home
had
due
to
the
view.
AG
100
000
worth
of
additional
value,
just
over
14
percent
of
our
home's
value
and
losing
this
value
would
cause
a
major
financial
hardship.
The
reason
this
creates
a
financial
hardship
is,
if
I
were
to
sell.
I
could
not
purchase
a
comparable
home
to
the
home
that
I
have
now
in
today's
market
if
I
lose
100
000
in
equity.
AG
If
this
is
the
case
for
me,
then
it's
logical
to
think
that
it's
the
case
for
the
other
14
homes
that
also
border
along
there,
and
that
could
be
just
a
potential
figure
of
1.4
million
dollars
in
lost
equity.
But
I
think
if
we
had
appraisals
on
all
of
them,
you'd
probably
see
some
increase
to
that
too.
AG
If
these
homes
drop
in
value
in
the
long
term,
it
will
also
negatively
impact
the
rest
of
the
home
center
subdivision
and
cause
a
decrease
in
their
home
values
and
well
so
I
looked
at
the
average
price
for
the
last
10
homes
that
were
sold
in
the
indian
lake
subdivision.
It's
a
community
that
we
live
in
and
that
we
absolutely
love
and
the
average
price
was
about
485
484
thousand
dollars,
there's
about
370
homes
that
are
in
indian
lakes
if
we
even
had
a
5.
AG
It's
no
secret
that
property
values
and
taxes
are
skyrocketed.
The
only
silver
lining
that
homeowners
have
is
that
we're
gaining
equity,
but
if
this
rezone
is
approved,
homeowners
will
lose
equity
and
who's
going
to
reimburse
us
for
the
money
that's
taken
from
the
homeowners.
Will
the
applicant
will
the
city
the
developer?
You
know
the
answer
is
no,
we
won't
have
anything
that
will
compensate
us.
Thus,
there
is
no
way
that
this
is
in
the
best
interest
of
the
public
and
there's
no
way
this
rezone
is
beneficial
to
the
general
welfare.
Hundreds
of
people
will
suffer.
AG
This
rezone
does
not
fit
within
the
criteria,
and
I
urge
you
to
use
due
diligence
in
this
decision
and
deny
this
application,
and
then
one
final
comment
that
I
want
you
to
make
is
just
to
express
my
disappointment
with
the
design
agreement.
We
were
delayed
for
two
months,
hoping
that
we
would
have
you
know.
We
have
looked
at
adler's,
it's
that's
a
thousand
square
by
300
foot
building
and
I
think
that's
part
of
the
concern
that
we
have.
Is
we
don't
know
what
they're
planning
to
build?
AG
Maybe
it
won't
be
as
bad
as
what
it
sounds
like.
I
don't
really
want
anything
back
there
I
think
permanent
open
say
should
be
permanent,
open
space,
but
we
waited
two
months
and
we
still
have
nothing
that
tells
us
the
use,
the
type,
the
scope
anything
about
the
adverse
events
that
could
come
with
this.
AG
R
Good
evening,
commissioners,
my
name
is
eleanor
russell.
I
live
on
5210,
south
inmatelle
avenue.
I
am
concerned
that
the
only
permanent
space
in
boise
is
a
land
that
is
around
the
foothills.
In
the
past,
there
have
been
people
fighting
for
the
open
space
in
the
foothills.
So
what
about
us?
I
don't
think
it's
fair
that
the
city
can
change
something
that
was
permanent
for
the
last
50
years.
Another
thing
to
address
is
wildlife.
Many
animals
inhabit
the
area
such
as
quail,
jackrabbits,
cottontails,
snakes,
birds
and
whistle
pigs
with
the
potential
warehouses.

My
husband
and
family
have
lived
there
for
almost
30
years
and
we
are
firmly
opposed
to
the
rezone
of
the
we're
not
weighing
in
at
all
on
the
a1
lease
development,
but
to
build
on
open
space.
Land
is
an
extremely
irresponsible
approach
to
environmental
stewardship,
and
someone
mentioned
the
cart
before
the
horse
and
that's
what
I
kept
thinking.
I
was
listening
to
this.
The
questions
get
asked
and
I
say
well,
we'll
figure
it
out
after
it
gets
approved,
we'll
figure
that
out
afterwards.
Well,
these
are
our
concerns.
AI
This
is
a
neighborhood
here,
who's
concerned
about
our
lives
and
our
futures
and
our
past
and
our
neighborhood,
and
we
need
to
know
now
not
after
you
all
approve
it.
We
are
praying
that
you
don't
approve
this.
The
proposal
fails
on
ethical
and
practical
grounds.
There's
really
not
anything.
That's
super
positive
about
this
at
all
for
the
neighborhood
or
the
open
space,
and
I'm
sad
to
say
that
the
airport
airport
has
been
stunningly
dishonest
with
the
neighborhood
and
it's
been
very
difficult
to
get
information
from
them.

isn't
something

I
looked
at
this
and
I
said:
is
that
a
serious
proposal
we
don't
know
what
they're
building
they
won't
tell
us
who's
coming
in
there.
The
rezone
is
not
compatible
with
the
boise
comprehensive
plan
because
it
neglects
to
protect
our
neighborhood.
There's.
Absolutely
no
proof
that
this
is
in
the
interest
of
public
welfare
and
the
rezone
proposal
does
not
maintain
or
preserve
compatibility
with
any
of
the
surrounding
development,
or
the
environment,
in
fact,
is
in
direct
conflict
with
it.
AI
AI
AI
The
airport
is
truly
demanding
that
this
neighborhood
these
citizens
and
these
families
bear
a
tremendous
burden,
so
they
can
make
money
without
the
due
diligence
and
the
transparency
without
weighing
the
total
cost,
the
real
cost
in
human
and
environmental
terms,
and
we're
not
naive.
We
know
that
growth
is
in
boise's
future
and
that's
okay,
but
this
is
one
plot
of
permanent
land.
That's
still
available
in
south
boise
and
you're
you're
wanting
to
build
on
it.

So
what
happens
when
all
the
natural
open
spaces
that
encompass
idaho
are
deforested
to
accommodate
light
industrial
usage?
By
allowing
the
construction
of
light

usage
of
this
land,
we
are
creating
irreparable
damage
to
an
already
delicate
ecological
system
that
surrounds
this
parcel
of
land,
creating
more
pollution
and
damage
to
an
already
fragile
climate.
AJ
Enough
land
has
been
re
rezoned
to
allow
for
growth
of
boise
and
meridia.
It
is
time
to
think
of
the
future
generation
that
will
be
deprived
of
open
spaces
that
sign
up
set
up.

one

good.
The
only
way

Good
evening

south
umatilla,
directly
adjacent
to
the
a2
land
reserve.
My
wife
and
I
are
former
boise
school
district
teachers.
We
taught
for
25
years
between
the
two
of
us,
we're
active
trail
enthusiasts
and
we're
fiercely
proud,
boise,

natives
that
care
deeply
about
our
community.
V
The
word
permanent
holds
strong
weight
and
leaves
no
room
for
interpretation.
The
a2
designation
sends
the
message
of
intentionality
in
preventing
developments
like
this
from
happening.
Rezoning.
Permanent,
open
space
reserve
is
not
an
example
of
environmental
stewardship,
predictable
growth
patterns
or
in
other
ways
human
compliance
with
the
boise
comprehensive
plan.
Demolishing
a
wildlife,
habitat
and
cherished
community
gym
is
not
in
the
best
interest
of
general
public
welfare
or
seem
compatible
with
our
area.
V
How
can
an
a2
designation
exist
if
it
is
not
truly
permanent
foothills
trails
and
military
reserve
and
hulls
gulch
have
the
same
permanent,
open
space
designations
and
are
treated
with
reverence
a2
land
should
remain
as
it
states
permanent
open
space
southwest
boise
is
underserved,
with
an
inequity
of
accessible
open
space
and
trails
compared
to
anywhere
else
in
boise
to
go
to
a
public
trail
or
dog
park.
We
have
to
drive
at
least
20
to
30
minutes.
V
We
as
homeowners
believe
this
land
should
be
permanent
and
it
can
play
a
complementary
role
on
the
recently
passed
boise
pathways
plan.
Three
sides
of
the
a2
land
are
currently
listed
under
the
near-term
priority
project,
section
of
the
boise
pathways
plan.
There
are
existing
trails
and
connecting
to
the
southeast
that
we
can
walk
to
as
an
alternative
to
commuting
to
the
foothills.
These
accesses
adjacent
to
us
are
used
daily.
It's
a
native
habitat.
It
can
provide
limited
recreational
space
without
having
to
get
in
a
car.
V
Sized
warehouses
would
be
a
heartbreaking
tragedy
leading
to
our
community
losing
trails,
views
access,
wildlife,
home
value
and
having
an
immediate
place
for
our
neighborhood
kiddos
to
chase
bugs
experience
nature
all
without
having
to
get
in
a
car.
Our
community
would
instead
trade
all
of
this
for
noise
traffic
and
light
pollution,
a
fire
hazard
and
an
already
high
risk
region
and
walls
to
be
erected
in
our
citizen
spaces.
We
want
families
here
for
generations
to
come,
enjoying
this
incredible
open

we
were
able

share
with

I've
been
able

share

they
could

come
out.

gathering
this

open

hear

distress

outcry

this

This
is
a
story
of
a
lost
and
scared.
Little
girl,
a
little
girl
who
found
love
safety
and
healing
from
the
land
that
is
up
for
discussion
today.
Growing
up
home
life
wasn't
always
easy
for
that.
Little
girl,
and
often
times
she
felt
alone
and
she
felt
unseen
and
unheard
and
when
life
would
feel
overwhelming,
she
would
hop
on
her
bike
right,
a
few
blocks
away
to
the
desert
and

Hi,
my
name
is
amanda
russell.
I
live
at
4980
south
umatilla
avenue,
I'm
here
tonight
to
request
that
you
remove
the
parcels
currently
zoned
82
from
the
rezoning
application.
Boise
city
zoning
code
defines
82
as
open
land
reserve
a
zone
intended
for
permanent
open
space
and
to
properly
guide
growth
on
the
fringe
areas
of
the
city
rezoning.
These
a2
parcels
is
not
in
the
best
interest
of
public
convenience
and
general
welfare
and
does
not
maintain
and
preserve
compatibility
of
surrounding
development.
AN
Protecting
parks
and
open
space
was
addressed
during
a
boise
city
council
meeting
on
october
26,
2021
council
member
haley
burton's
stated
quote.
I
think
mostly
what
our
community
community
members
are
looking
for
is
a
predictable
development
pattern.
Hallie
burton
continued
that
an
important
part
of
predictability
includes
knowing
the
things
that
are
existing
now
will
continue
to
exist.
AN
AN
AN
One
other
thing
that
came
up
recently
that
I
have
time
so
the
airport
stated
that
they
are
not
parks
and
rec,
and
I
unders.
I
think
we
all
understand
that,
but
we
have
not
asked
them
to
be
parks
and
rec,
and
we
did
not
ask
for
a
recreational
walking
trail
or
for
the
parks
and
rec
department
to
get
involved.
We're
asking
that
permanent,
open
space
is
permanent.
D
AO
AO
AO
These
kids
come
to
us
usually
with
zero
equine
experience,
but
seeking
a
sanctuary
and
a
safe
haven
away
from
their
day-to-day
life,
for
they
are
usually
damaged
or
have
damaged
households
we
use
wrc
or
western
writing
club,
which
is
the
property
that
is
north
to
the
to
the
property.
That's
in
question
every
friday
to
help
teach
these
kids
and
horses
how
to
operate
as
one.
AO
I
am
extremely
concerned
for
this
or
about
the
safety
of
my
fellow
4-h
members,
due
to
the
way
that
horses
will
react
to
the
traffic
and
noise
as
a
result
of
of
the
proposed
warehouse.
Even
if
we
can't
see
the
trucks,
our
animals
will
still
react.
Horses
are
prey
animals
and
there
is
no
way
around
that
they
are
scared,
and
most
of
these
times
these
kids
cannot
afford
these
bomb-proof
horses
or
super
well-trained
will
not
spook
horses.
AO
Therefore,
it
is
extremely
dangerous
to
be
having
this
go
in
there.
We
will
have
to
look
at
relocating
our
whole
entire
operation,
our
whole
entire
4-h
club.
If
this
were
to
go
through
due
to
the
safety
and
we
we
don't
have
anywhere
else
anymore,
so
we
would
have
to
we'd
have
to
eliminate
our
program.
AO
Along
with
that
I'd
like
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
my
life,
I
wasn't
born
into
the
sequence
industry.
What
I
was
born
into
was
a
broken
household.
I
was
born
into
a
life
with
anxiety
and
depression
and
the
only
time
that
that
has
that
I've
ever
felt
comfort
from
that
is
on
the
back
of
the
horse.
I
was
not
born
onto
a
big
wide
branch
where
I
gotta
go
out.
Whenever
I
want,
I
was
born
onto
a
super
small
backyard.
AO
AO
AP
AP
I
am
heavily
against
to
this
and
I
wasn't
planning
on
speaking
just
like
chelsea
before
me,
but
standing
in
the
back
of
this
room
and
watching
everybody
come
up,
has
proven
one
thing,
and
I
would
like
to
point
out
the
man
in
the
back,
which
has
made
me
smile
the
entire
time,
because
it
has
proven
what
a
great
community
we
live
in.
Idaho
has
been
a
community
forever
and
we've
always
helped
each
other
out
and
letting
this
land
become.
AP
Rezoned
will
hurt
and
potentially
destroy
the
health
of
the
people
because
of
the
diesel
and
the
pollution,
the
nature,
the
animals,
the
plants,
everything
the
city
because
of
the
property
values
and
the
housing
and
especially
the
community.
I
grew
up
in
this
community.
I
have
been
a
part
of
western
writing
club,
which
is
on
the
north
property
of
this
for
a
little
bit
since
2017.
AP
I've
grown
up
in
western
running
club
riding
horses
in
the
nature,
doing
everything,
and
it
is
proven
that
the
nature
is
truly
the
best
place
that
a
girl
can
be,
especially
under
a
time
of
pressure
and
under
of
time
of
hurt
and
when
they
need
help,
like
chelsea,
said
anxiety
and
depression,
and
really
when
you
want
to
get
away
from
people.
This
land
has
been
the
best
for
me.
I
learned
how
to
ride.
I
learned
how
to
deal
with
people,
and
especially
the
experiences
that
I
gained
have
helped
me
so
much
in
life.

AQ
She's
tall,
I'm
not
my

is
susan
moore,
my
husband
and
I
have
called
4774
south
umatilla
home
for
25
years,
and
I'm
going
to
get
emotional
too.
I
am
here
tonight
requesting
that
you
deny
the
airport's
application
to
result
in
this
property.
This
rose
zone
lacks
in
care
for
the
interests
of
boisean's
general
welfare
and,
in
addition,
negatively
impacts
our
home
values
and
the
way
of
life
that
those
of
us
who
have
lived
in
this
proposed
impact
zone
conduct
our
daily
lives,
be
it
by
increased
traffic,
additional
noise,
lack
of
fire
lack
of
water.
AQ
Most
importantly
to
me,
the
wildlife
now
at
risk
of
disappearing
in
our
valley,
due
to
poorly
planned
urban
sprawl
and
industrial
development.
My
husband
and
I
have
raised
our
three
daughters
in
our
home.
My
parents,
one
right
behind
me,
bought
the
house
next
door
to
me
whether
I
like
it
or
not,
and
two
of
my
three
daughters
with
their
young
families
bought
homes
in
our
neighborhood
in
2021.
AQ
That's
four
generations:
in
this
neighborhood
25
years,
I've
invested
in
this
neighborhood
and
in
my
children
one
who's,
an
environmental
biologist,
one
who
is
a
recreational
administrator
and
one
who
works
for
the
idaho
humane
society.
All
in
this
neighborhood,
that's
a
lot
of
family,
my
home
and
family
are
the
most
important
thing
to
me.
Second
would
be
my
backyard,
my
city,
a
city
that
I
love
that
I
have
lived
in
forever.
I
am
greeted
by
a
host
of
wildlife.
Every
year
the
western
bumblebee
peregrine
falcons
great
horned
owls
sitting
on
my
fence.
AQ
AQ
I
have
photos
and
most
amazingly
what
I
photo
last
year,
confirmed
by
fission
game.
The
first
urban
scene
in
southwest
boise
that
traveled
down
our
canal
travel
into
our
pool,
snakes,
lizards,
bats,
you
name
it
we
have
it
all.
You've
heard
you've
heard
about
it.
The
other
thing
we
have
is
sagebrush
sagebrush
takes
years.
My
daughter
did
the
research
2022
boise
state,
the
u.s
forest
service
and
others
are
researching
it
from
a
grant
from
idaho's
gem
3,
that's
genes
by
environment,
modeling
mechanisms
and
mapping.
AQ
AQ
It
hosts
350
species
of
mammals,
birds,
reptiles,
all
of
which
idaho
has
all
in
our
backyard
east
of
our
neighborhood
is
an
important
and
valuable
parcel
of
land,
more
meaningful
than
money
or
any
industrial
site
could
ever
bring
to
our
valley.
Once
it's
gone,
it's
gone
forever
permanently

In
my
view,
the
applicant
has
ignored
the
rights
and
well-being
of
the
adjoining
landowners
on
umatilla
avenue
and
really
the
residents
of
the
indian
lakes
subdivision.
When
I
purchased
my
property,
I
was
advised
and
relied
on.
The
a2
open

zoning

the

behind
my

did
many
of
my

as
you've
heard

With

I'm

I've
previously
previously
submitted
comments
in
my
own
name
that
I
incorporate
herein.
We
oppose
rezoning
of
all
these
parcels.
AS
AS
in
2009,
fish
and
wildlife
service
stated
a
conservation
agreement
between
the
service,
fish
and
wildlife,
and
the
city
of
boise
airport
was
completed
in
2003
for
the
conservation
of
two
lipidium
papillary
eos.
Those
are
element
occurrences
located
on
the
southern
portion
of
boise
airport
lands
and
noted.
We
have
not
received
documentation
of
implementation
or
effectiveness
of
the
conservation
efforts
identified
in
this
conservation
agreement.
I've
seen
nothing
in
this
record
to
see
that
the
city
of
boise
has
done
anything
to
preserve
this
plan.
AS
AS
Boise
has
not
considered
in
any
way
the
important,
aesthetic
and
biological
values
of
this
site,
which
contains
old
growth,
big
sagebrush,
the
potential
80
to
100
year
old
sagebrush
found
here
is
a
remnant
example
of
the
sage
that
once
extended
all
across
this
valley
and
now
has
been
eliminated
almost
everywhere
here.
The
sagebrush
should
be
nurtured
and
protected
and
restoration
actions
also
undertaken
for
the
areas
where
there
were
there
was
a
fire
in
the
past.
AS
My
screen,
just
blocked
out,
manages
managing
this
area's
natural
open
space
would
provide
a
great
outdoor
laboratory
for
school
students
at
nearby
schools
to
work
on
methods
of
recovery
of
the
sagebrush
ecosystem
and
for
education
about
the
ecosystem,
the
protective
soil
crust
that
also
fix
carbon
and
sequester
carbon,
as
does
the
sagebrush
growing
here
and
to
conduct
research,
their
own
research
on
how
to
restore
damaged
parts
of
the
ecosystem.
It
would
be
a
great
outdoor
learning
laboratory
in
its
current
undisturbed
state
the
site
sequestered
and
absorbs
carbon
and
dissipates
heat.
AS
The
project
will
destroy
this
and
add
to
the
urban
heat
island
effect.
Boise
claims
it
wants
to
be
a
sustainable
city
by
developing
this
important
open
space
area
in
the
worst
kind
of
sprawl
way
imaginable.
They're
asking
you
to
give
them
a
blank
check.
You
know
for
future
development
of
who
knows
what
kind
yeah
with
the
guarantee
of
future
meetings,
but
you've
already
sealed
the
land
state.
If
you
approve
this,
converting
this
beautiful
area
to
an
endless
series
of
bleak
warehouses,
scalding
hot
parking
lots.

Hi,
my
name
is
bonnie
powers
and
I
live
at
7219
swift,
lane
boise
83704,
so
I
know
a
lot
of
things
have
pretty
much
already
been
said
and
initially
I
wasn't
going
to
speak,
but
I
do
feel
passionate
about
it.
My
husband
and
I
have
been
in
the
valley
for
many
many
years.
We've
raised
four
sons
in
boise.
AT
AT
So
I
just
have
one
question
for
all
of
you:
is
this
really
beneficial
to
the
community?
And
I
know
that
there's
a
fiscal
responsibility
too,
but
you've
heard
so
much
tonight
with
how
many
lives
would
be
negatively
impacted
both
in
home
values.
I'm
a
member
of
western
writing
club,
my
husband
and
I
both
are.
We
ride
our
horses
out
there
regularly
and
it
isn't
just
the
neighbors
on
umatilla
that
would
be
negatively
impacted.
AT
If
the
city
makes
this
zoning
change,
because
horses
will
buck
and
rear
and
if
there's
semi
trucks
and
there's
a
lot
of
noise,
they
respond
to
that
and
there's
times
that
we
might
have
40
horses
up
there
at
an
event.
So
it's
it's
a
significant
community
place,
and
so
also
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
and
I
know
this
is
private
land
by
the
airport,
but
there
are
so
many
places
that
would
not
negatively
impact.
AT
Yes,
if,
if
it
was
an
amazon
or
any
type
of
business
that
comes
in
there
will
be
a
lot
of
jobs
created,
but
that's
not
really
what
we
need
in
the
valley,
I'm
a
nursing
supervisor.
I've
had
three
openings
for
so
long
and
hardly
any
prospects
at
all.
So
I
would.
I
would
just
say
that
what
we
need
right
now
is
not
more
jobs.
We
can't
hire
to
fill
all
the
positions
we
have.

The

report
further
clouds
the
issue
by
stating
on

five
bottom,
that,
while
quote
while
the
current
zone
is
open
space,
the
underlying
future
land
use
designation
is

There's
nothing
underlying
about
the
future
land
use.
Industrial
designation,
created
by
blue
point

that
land
use
designation,
postdates
the

acquisition

rural

by

quarter
of

the

This
is
supported
by
providing
established
neighborhoods
with
corridors,
pedestrian
paths
and
open
spaces
and
parks.
This
is
clear
when
you
see
many
other
neighborhoods
in
north
boise,
there
are
10
reserves
in
north
boise
that
total
over
4
000
acres
and
40
miles
of
trails.
There
are
no
reserves
in
south
boise.
AH
AH
The
applicant
and
city
can't
justify
part
of
the
blueprint
boise
and
its
land
use
map
by
ignoring
another
part,
this
rezone
does
not
benefit
general
wildfire
warfare,
rather
it
will
destroy
in
an
established
neighborhood.
There
is
nothing
convenient
about
destroying
nature
and
denying
our
neighborhood
its
much
needed
access
to
space
and
spaces
and
parks.
AH
I'll
conclude
with
this
plea
deny
this
application
allow
the
residents
of
southwest
boise
and
the
city
to
explore
much
mutually
beneficial
solutions.
The
applicant
can
develop
land
generate
revenue
and
the
neighborhood
can
have
open
space.
These
two
goals
can
be
accomplished.
Thank
you
for
your
time.

Q
Q

You
you
here
at
planning
and
zoning,
are
at
the
head
of
the
train
and
everything
you
do
tonight
will
set
the
stage
for
things
to
come,
and
I
think
it's
here
now
in
this
place
that
you
probe
and
you
ask
the
big
questions
and
you
set
the
stage
and
you
bring
the
information
to
light
tonight
for
these
good
people,
rather
than
punting
it
to
later
stages,
when
there's
very
little
room
to
maneuver
on
the
consequences
of
a
decision
like
this.
So
the
gravity
of
of
the
decision
before
you
tonight
cannot
be
underestimated.

there's

a

and
they
go
and
they
take
off
their
shoes
and
they
connect
with
the
earth.
AV
I
know
how
much
a
hundred
acres
is
and
it's
not
a
big
space
of
land.
It's
not
a
lot
to
ask
for
and
as
I
listen
to
all
that
is
there.
I
wonder
if
the
people
who
are
going
to
build
that
warehouse
have
been
out
there
to
see
what
a
gem
that
space
is.
It's
not
ordinary
space.
It's
very
spectacular
space,
it's
space
that
doesn't
exist
everywhere
and
the
reason
that
the
people
who
are
here
live
on
it
are
so
desperate.
AV
Once
that
is
gone
once
those
warehouses
filled
that
ecosystem
is
done,
they
can
put
an
irrigation,
they
can
put
in
a
grass
you
can
walk
along,
but
that
habitat,
which
feeds
the
whole
existing
surrounding
areas
of
birds
and
squirrels
and
and
things
they
won't
have
any
place
to
go.
That
you'll
see.
Also.
I
grew
up
near
a
park.
My
parents
in
1962
paid
sixteen
hundred
dollars
for
it,
those
houses-
you
can
say:
what's
the
city
going
to
get
out
of
it,
the
property
taxes
that
you
get.
AV
Those
houses
are
selling
at
1200
square
feet
for
800,
950,
000.60
years
property
in
napa
valley,
since
they
put
it
all
into
the
preserve,
you
could
buy
something
in
1984
for
130
000.
Those
are
now
again
like
1.2
million
dollar
properties,
because
they've
preserved
the
the
energy
that
an
open
space.
You
need
a
lot
of
space
for
an
open
space.
You
need
a
minimum
of
100
acres.
100
acres
is
not
a
lot,
but
if
you've
got
a
habitat,
that's
supporting
the
wildlife
that
is
there.
You
really.
AV
B

Hi
there,
my
name
is
jessica
elleribo.
I
live
at
10324
west
fentosa
lane
in
cuna.
I
am
the
current
western
writing
club
vice
president,
and
I
would
like
to
extend
the
opportunity
for
our
commissioners
to
come
out
and
visit
our
property
and
see
the
beautiful
views
that
will
be
forever
changed
if
this
development
goes
through.
If
the
rezoning
happens,
these
are
views
and
lands
that
we
will
never
get
back
if
this
happens.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
tonight.
T
Levi
ellis
4960,
south
umatilla
boise,
I
have
a
whole
speech.
Most
of
what
I
wrote
down
has
already
been
said.
My
daughter
was
here
earlier.
She
wanted
to
let
you
know
she's
against
it,
because
we
have
an
owl,
that's
in
the
neighborhood
we've
named
him
flash
we
like
to
see
him
cruising
around
out
there.
T
T
B
AR
B
Okay,
thank
you
all
we're
back
we'll
go
ahead
and
we
have
a
few
folks
online
that
would
like
to
testify
so
we'll
run
through
all
those
folks
and
then
we'll
have
rebuttal
from
the
applicant
and
then
deliberation
from
the
commission.
So
that's
the
plan
all
right
folks
with
their
hands
up
online.
I
see
robert
erskine
julie,
rhodes
and
then
laura
han
allison,
lycos,
erica
schofield
and
then
ethan
london.
B
AW
Sure
my
name
is
robertson
erskine.
I
currently
live
at
3931
22nd
street
in
san
francisco,
california,
but
I
was
raised.
I
grew
up
on
at
6818
desert
street
and
there's
a
couple
of
things.
You
know
I'm
I'm
calling
in
to
be
opposed
to
this
entire
initiative
because
of
many
of
the
things
that
have
already
been
addressed
and-
and
people
have
pointed
out,
I'm
going
to
kind
of
speak
to
some
of
the
things
that
that
space
means
to
me
and
meant
to
me
growing
up
there
in
in
boise.
AW
You
know
just
to
start
off
with
from
as
a
young
kid
that's
where
I
learned
how
to
be
curious
about
nature.
That's
how
I
learned
how
to
be
curious
about
geology
and
about
botany
and
about
animals,
and
that's
where
I
earned
merit
badges
as
a
as
a
boy
scout
in
wildlife
and
botany
and
orienteering,
sorry
and
insects,
and
how
to
read
a
compass.
AW
And
it's
where
I
learned
how
to
ride
a
bike?
It's
where
I
learned
how
to
ride
a
motorcycle
julie,
call
isabelle.
Sorry,
and
you
know
some
of
the
things
that
haven't
really
been
brought
up
as
well.
Is
you
know
I
was
I
when
I
grew
up
there.
This
is
when
the
land
right
across
from
desert
from
where
my
house,
when
it
got
plowed
down
and
they
started
actually
planting
alfalfa
there.
AW
The
thing
that
hasn't
been
brought
up
is:
it
was
a
huge
disturbance
to
a
lot
of
the
the
natural
animal
wildlife
that
was
there,
but
and
while
that
has
been
brought
up,
what
hasn't
been
brought
up
is
that
we
had
rattlesnakes
jackrabbits
badgers
coyotes
in
our
yards
in
with
you
know
around
with
little
kids,
and
it
was.
It
was
scary
for
quite
a
bit
of
time.
AW
Those
animals
are
going
to
be
displaced
by
this
by
this
action,
and
I
think
that
that's
a
huge
thing
that
needs
to
be
needs
to
be
considered
in
this,
and
I
also
you
know
my
my
younger
sister
heather
ray
who
spoke
earlier
with
josh
her
husband
and
they
live
at
5378
umatilla.
I
want
my
niece
and
nephew
afton
and
scotty.
I
want
them
to
have
that
same
experience
that
I
had
and
develop
that
healthy
curiosity
and
love
for
the
environments.
AW
I
mean
I
even
tried
to
go
out
and
actually
earn
an
amphibian's
merit
badge
out
there,
and
I
did
discover
there
weren't
any
amphibians,
so
that
I
guess
I
did
still
learn
from
that.
But
you
know
the
things
that
are
really
scary
to
me
is
that
I
know
my
father.
Scott
erskine
is
no
longer
with
us.
He
was
on
the
hawaii
school
sewer
district
and
he
would
be
speaking
vehemently
against
this
because
of
what
it
does
in
the
long
term
and
the
impacts
that
this
will
have
on
that
environment.
AW
I
think
this
is
a
horrifically
dangerous
precedent
to
set,
for
other
other
places
that
have
been
set
aside
as
permanent
wildlife
zones
or
permanent
free
zones.
It's
a
very
dangerous
precedent
to
set-
and
this
is
coming
from
someone
who
lives
in
san
francisco
and
I've
seen
what
happens
when
it.
Actually,
you
know
when
you
overbuild
in
an
area
and
the
impact
that
it
has
is
devastating.
B
AX
Okay,
hi
commissioners,
my
name
is
jolie
rhodes.
I
live
at
5289,
south
umatilla
avenue
my
family
moved
to
the
indian
lakes
neighborhood
from
the
boise
bench
in
january
of
2019..
We
did
our
research
before
purchasing
in
that
we
saw
the
open
space.
We
spoke
to
our
realtor
about
the
future
of
the
space
and
we
were
told
that
senator
reisch
holds
the
long,
a
long-term
farm
lease
at
the
end
of
the
road
and
that
the
beautiful
desert
across
the
street
was
zoned
a2
and
that
nobody
would
build
throw
in
that.
AX
We
love
to
walk
through
the
desert,
see
the
wildlife
and
the
sagebrush,
and
there
are
also
geocaches
in
the
space,
my
family
and
I
got
into
geocaching,
and
we
were
so
excited
to
see
some
in
our
backyard.
Many
boiseans
from
you
know
the
western
writing
club
equestrians,
my
neighbors
geocache
fanatics
all
over
the
city.
AX
AX
B
U
AY
Thanks
so
much
my
name
is
laura
hahn
and
I
live
at
4981,
south
umatilla
avenue,
which
is
part
of
the
indian
lakes
subdivision,
and
I'm
here
to
tonight
to
request
that
you
deny
the
airport's
application
to
re-zone
this
property.
The
rezone
is
not
in
the
best
interest
of
public
convenience
and
general
welfare.
AY
AY
Approving
this
application
to
rezone
will
now
put
that
industrial
growth
and
financial
gains
ahead
of
the
needs
and
welfare
of
local
residents.
Local
wildlife
and
importantly,
it
will
set
a
dangerous
precedent
that
expansion
is
more
important
than
precious
permanent,
open
space
and
the
lives
of
residents
in
boise,
not
just
in
our
neighborhood,
but
in
all
boise
neighborhoods
growth
can
and
will
continue
to
happen
in
our
great
city,
but
it
cannot
happen
at
the
expense
of
the
quality
of
life
and
general
welfare
of
idahoans
and
boiseans
at
large.
AY
Make
no
mistake:
these
a2
parcels
are
full
of
wildlife
surrounded
by
areas
of
grazing
in
agricultural
prime
land
and
provide
southwest
boise
with
rare
access
to
open
space.
They
are
an
integral
part
to
our
neighborhood
and
the
welfare
of
all
of
us
who
live
here
recently.
It
frequently
feels,
like
we've,
been
encouraged
to
forget
about
our
own
welfare
and
accept
that
a2
classification
is
simply
a
holding
zone
until
future
development
becomes
needed
or
necessary.
AY
This
is
just
simply
not
the
case.
The
purpose
of
a2
lens
is
to
provide
for
permanent,
open
space
and
to
properly
guide
growth
of
the
fringe
areas
of
the
city.
Lands
are
assigned
to
an
a2
classification
to
do
such
things
as
enhance
and
preserve
the
character
of
parks
and
other
publicly
owned
properties
and
encourage
agriculture
and
grazing
uses.
AY
AZ
AZ
I
am
here
to
support
all
of
her
neighbors
who
who,
whom
you've
already
heard
to
ask
you
to
oppose
rezoning
the
a2
parcel,
and
I
hope
that
speaks
to
how
far-reaching
and
how
rich
and
strong
this
community
is,
which
is
exactly
why
opposing
that
is
so
important.
I
am
concerned
that
this
proposal
will
destroy
the
rich
wildlife
habitat
we've
heard
about
and
most
significantly
harm
the
open
space
that
is
unique
to
this
community
and
makes
it
so
strong.
AZ
AZ
AZ
The
mission
statement
of
the
city
of
boise
talks
about
community,
protecting
our
environment
and
a
thriving
local
economy
that
benefits
all.
This
proposal
does
not
treat
this
neighborhood
as
part
of
its
community,
and
it
benefits
far
fewer
than
the
current
and
next
generation
it
will
harm.
Thank
you.
BA
Erica
schofield
7363
west
limelight
court
boise,
mr
chairman
and
fellow
commissioners,
you've
heard
me
testify
many
times
on
the
issues
of
public
safety
and
the
fire
response
standard,
and
I
will
do
so
again
tonight.
The
northwest
neighborhood
submitted
14
pages
of
factual
information
specific
to
these
issues.
In
summary,
the
information
covers
the
inability
of
the
city
to
provide
the
adopted
fire
response
standard
in
the
comprehensive
plan,
making
the
ability
for
this
application
to
meet
the
rezoned
criteria
of
compliance
with
the
comprehensive
plan
impossible.
BA
In
addition,
the
development
review
sheet
submitted
by
compass
lacks
proper
fact.
Finding
it
says
a
fire
station
is
1.3
miles
away,
but
does
not
indicate
what
fire
station
location
they
are
using
or
where
the
distance
is
measured
from
a
search
using
the
address
for
this
application
will
show.
The
nearest
station
that
can
can
respond
is
station
17
on
col
road
at
3.4
to
4
miles
away.
BA
BA
The
risk
was
identified
in
the
boise
fire
department's
written
comments,
stating
it
was
only
partially
within
the
standard,
and
the
risk
was
discussed
during
the
public
hearing
process.
When
commissioner
hobson
noted
that
the
subdivision
had
a
reduced
degree
of
protection
and
specifically
asked
this
question,
what
happens
if
there
is
a
fire
at
one
of
these
residents?
BA
This
shocks,
the
conscience
when,
knowing
that
the
city
was
clearly
aware
of
the
risk
but
approved
the
application
anyway,
the
application
before
you
tonight
is
much
further
from
a
built
fire
station
and
is
also
in
the
designated
urban
interface.
Mr
chairman
and
commissioners,
you
have
the
authority
and
responsibility
to
protect
people
and
property.
BA
H
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
talk
with
you
about
this.
I
am
against
the
proposition
to
rezone
this
place
as
industrial
and
build
and
build
a
warehouse
so
close
to
not
just
people's
homes
but
also
nature,
and
the
trips
me
and
my
team
took
up
to
the
open
natural
space
near
indian
lanes.
We
saw
people
riding
on
horses,
we
saw
other
people
hiking,
and
we
saw
some
people
just
sitting
on
a
makeshift
bench
relaxing
and
having
a
good
time
the
construction
and
rezoning
is
completed.
H
If
this
proposition
is
approved,
it
would
pave
the
way
for
more
construction
of
this
type
near
urban
and
especially
natural
areas,
which
would
slowly
remove
the
natural
beauty
of
boise
or
the
city
of
trees.
As
it's
also
known,
I
understand
that
the
airport
is
important,
but
boise's
future
is
even
more
so,
and
thank
you
for
not
just
considering
considering
this,
but
also
for
your
time.
BB
BB
This
is
the
first
test
of
the
city's
true
commitment
to
the
master
pathways
plan,
and
I
know
that
this
is
repetitious,
but
as
a
review
of
the
zoning
regulations,
a1
provides
for
low-density
residential
parks
and
agriculture.
There
is
nothing
low-density,
residential
and
agricultural
about
a
large
industrial
complex.
BB
The
a2
district
classification
should
be
applied
to
property
that
is
not
intended
for
development
or
for
property
that
the
city
desires
to
be
subject
to
stronger
development
limitations
that
would
be
provided
by
a1
district
permanent
means
permanent.
There
is
nothing
temporary
about
its
deficit
mission.
BB
The
general
purpose
statement
of
all
open
land
districts
is
to
provide
for
parks,
dedicated
open
spaces,
protected
environment
and
airport
approach.
An
airport
approach
is
not
the
same
as
a
large
industrial
complex
if
the
airport
is
reconsidering
changing
the
land
that
it
bought
for
airport
approach
to
industrial.
BB
This
is
a
misuse
of
the
property
and
they
need
to
look
elsewhere
for
a
location
to
change.
The
zoning
of
these
a2
and
a1
parcels
to
allow
the
development
of
a
large
industrial
complex
is
our
worst
nightmare.
This
area
should
remain
a1
and
a2,
with
green
belt
style
pathways
and
indus
and
equestrian
trails
running
through
it.
Don't
let
money
sway
you
from
your
commitment
to
the
master
pathways
plan
and
to
keeping
boise
a
livable
city.
BB
AE
U
B
AB
Good
evening,
everyone
thank
you,
rebecca
hopp,
I'm
the
airport
director
and
I've
been
sitting
quietly
listening
to
all
this
testimony,
321
3201
airport
way
for
the
address,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
time
for
the
commission.
I
know
that
this
has
been
a
lengthy
evening
for
you.
I
really
appreciate
the
time
of
our
community
and
your
their
passion
on
this
particular
issue
and
clearly
it
is
an
emotional
issue
for
many
people.
AB
I
keep
coming
back
to
refocusing
on
the
zoning
and
is
m1
a
compatible
zoning
use
with
residential
and
in
fact,
in
many
places
in
the
city,
m1
is
adjacent
to
residential.
This
is
not
unique,
and
I
think
that
this
commission
knows
probably
better
than
anyone
here
that
it's
not
uncommon
for
a
property
owner
to
come
in
and
ask
for
a
rezone
or
for
property
zoning
to
change
what's
guiding.
This
is
blueprint
boise,
which
designates
this
as
a
future
industrial
area,
and
I
understand
the
passion
of
our
community.
But
this
is
an
urban
area.
AB
It
is
right
next
to
the
airport,
that's
not
to
dissuade
the
importance
of
this
area
to
other
people
and
to
the
residents
of
this
area.
The
writing
club
is
we're
not
saying
the
writing
club
has
to
go
away.
This
is
currently
airport
property.
It
is
zoned
as
open
space,
but
it's
not
public
open
space.
It
is
airport
open
space.
AB
AB
That
said,
we
don't
have
definitive
plans.
I
think
some
people
had
shared
some
documents
from
the
proposal.
Those
are
conceptual
documents
of
what
it
could
be,
not
what
it
will
be,
and
I
think
when
we
go
through
a
planning
process,
there
is
different
phase.
There
are
different
phases
and
we
are
not
at
the
point
where
we
have
definitive
planning
documents.
Those
are
examples
of
what
it
could
be.
We
recognize
how
important
this
is
to
the
community
and
that's
why
we've
agreed
that
there
should
be
a
hundred
foot
buffer
of
open
space
again.
AB
AB
I
know
some
people
brought
up
environmental
and
emissions
and
lots
of
other
issues
by
keeping
development
close
to
town,
I
think
we'll
actually
reduce
emissions
and
if
vehicles
were
on
highways,
but
we
haven't
done
a
traffic
study
yet
because
there
isn't
an
actual
proposal.
This
is
a
request
for
a
rezone.
AB
The
other
thing
I
think
that
was
brought
up
that's
worth
mentioning
is
the
environmental.
I
know
the
sage
grass
was
brought
up
and
I'm
going
to
get
it
wrong.
The
slick
spot,
pepper
grass,
try
not
to
say
that
five
times
fast
was
brought
up.
That's
not
on
this
property
that
we're
talking
about
developing.
There
is
some
on
other
parcels,
but
not
on
this
parcel.
I
would
also
note
that
there
was
a
full
categorical
exclusion
study
that
was
done.
AB
That
was
an
environmental
review
when
we
were
looking
at
when
they
were
looking
at
doing
the
road
extension
from
orchard
to
coal
that
realignment
that
was
re
when
that
was
done,
there
was
an
environmental
assessment.
There
was
nothing
of
significance
that
was
found
or
unique
in
the
either
the
plant
or
animal
life.
We
also
when
we
do
our
airport
master
plan
and
we
look
at
future
areas.
We
consider
things
that
are
environmental,
but
also
historical
significance.
AB
B
Okay,
thank
you
miss
up.
Thank
you,
mr
snyder.
Okay,
all
right,
we
will
bring
this
item
back
for
the
commission
to
render
a
decision
and
just
as
a
reminder
to
everyone
here
that
we
are
a
recommending
body
on
this
item.
So
whatever
we
decide
this
evening,
it
will
go
to
city
council
and
there
will
be
another
full
public
hearing
at
city
council
for
this
item.
M
M
Chair
please,
so
I
have
a
few
notes
and
I
totally
appreciate
all
the
testimony
really.
For
me,
it
comes
down
to
the
lack
of
a
conceptual
site
plan.
It's
an
application
requirement
for
a
rezone
and
because
of
the
lack
of
a
conceptual
site
plan.
For
me,
I'm
unable
to
see
how
access
might
happen
on
that
western
portion
right
now
it
looks
kind
of
like
it
might
come
from
desert
avenue
and
that
doesn't
feel
compatible
to
me.
M
It's
more
the
appearance,
it's
kind
of
the
the
kind
of
layout
of
the
property,
the
appearance,
the
landscaping
things
like
that
which
could
help
mitigate,
but
I
don't
think
they
can
do
too
much
with
the
use
itself,
and
really
I
mean
honestly,
I
think
the
biggest
thing
was
I
was
kind
of
quite
frankly
expecting
to
see
a
conceptual
site
plan
with
this
development
agreement.
That's
pretty
typical,
I
think
for
development
agreements
and
even
something
very
preliminary.
M
C
I'll
keep
my
comments
brief,
because
commissioner
moore
was
was
great
in
terms
of
hitting
most
of
my
high
points.
You
know
I've
been
doing
land
use
planning
for
gosh
22
years
now.
I've
worked
on
some
of
the
largest
projects
in
this
valley.
I
have
never
seen
a
project.
This
large
come
forth
with
a
rezone
application
of
this
magnitude
without
a
concept
plan
without
more
details,
without
just
some
preliminary
information
for
a
commission
or
a
board
to
consider-
and
I
am
just
not
comfortable-
I
am
not
comfortable
at
all
recommending
approval
of
this.
C
K
We
attach
a
cup
requirement
to
the
remaining
a2
area,
but
recommend
approval
of
that
I'd
like
to
see
something
that
that
recognizes
the
difference
between
a1
and
a2.
I
think
that's
a
a
powerful
point
and
I
think
you
know
at
the
end
of
the
day
the
right
answer
is
somewhere
in
the
middle.
I'm
also
interested
in
the
idea
of
just
the
westernmost
a2
portion
remaining
a2
and
everything
else
being
rezoned
and
the
a2
part
of
that
remnant
being
cup
bound.
But
you
know
that's
not
the
motion
we
have
on
the
floor.
K
K
B
I
I
will
also
not
be
supporting
the
motion.
I
agree
with
most
of
what
commissioner
gillespie
said.
There
are
a
couple
of
uses
that
I'm
not
comfortable
with,
and
I
think
that
you
know
attaching
a
cp
as
a
condition
would
help
us
get
around
some
of
that.
So,
if
I
look
you
know,
I
would
be
interested
in
more
of
that
discussion
and
will
not
be
supporting
motion.
B
P
I
will
also
not
be
supporting
the
motion,
but
primarily
because
of
this
reasons
just
stated,
but
also
this
is
the
city,
the
city
in
the
city,
the
city
airport,
and
to
my
questions
previously.
This
is
a
comp
plan,
friction
between
environmental
stewardship
and
the
importance
of
our
airport,
and
I
have
to
assume
that
city
leadership
was
involved
in
this
city
staff,
coordination
between
the
airport
and
any
other
department's
fire
open
space.
D
B
B
I
don't
fully
agree,
I
think
with
commissioner
gillespie
though
I
feel
like
there
is
a
middle
ground
here.
I
have
really
no
issue
and
I
think
the
testimony
tonight
will
support
this,
that
I
really
have
no
issue
rezoning
the
a1
parcels,
but
I
do
think
that
additional
study
of
the
a2
parcels
is
warranted,
especially
given
the
I
appreciate
all
of
the
organization
to
this
point.
B
However,
I
think
that
some
additional
study
regarding
the
potential
ridgeline
open
space,
the
buffering
on
the
west
edge,
those
sorts
of
things,
certainly
warrant
more
more
study
and
more
detail,
and
I
think
we
could
find
a
happy
medium
by
approving
the
a1
parcels
for
rezone
and
let
that
sort
of
development
detail
start
to
come
together,
while
the
a2
parcels
are
studied
in
more
detail,
so
yeah.
So
that's
my
thoughts.
B
I
appreciate
I
do
want
to
thank
everyone
here
tonight
too,
for
your
testimony
and
how
everyone
shared
their
thoughts
and
concerns
some
of
the
comments
you
know
there
are
some
questions,
there's
obviously
some
disconnect
in
the
process
here,
understanding
you
know
when
detail
is
delivered.
You
know
in
plans,
and
I
think
that
if
we
find
some
happy
medium
here
potentially
tonight
that
we
can
rectify
some
of
those
issues
with
the
process
itself,
any
more
discussion
then.
B
B
X
K
Yeah,
I
think
that
just
dealing
with
the
a1
is
the
simplest
and
most
straightforward
recommendation.
I
think
I
think
that
gives
the
applicant
and
the
city
time
to
think
harder
about
the
a2
between
this
hearing
and
the
next.
I
think
we
put
on
the
record
some
choices
they
might
make
in
terms
of
dealing
with
the
westernmost
a2
parcel
and
dealing
with
adding
a
cup
requirement
to
the
whole
a2
deal.
K
B
P
Once
again,
I
want
to
thank
the
the
neighbors
and
everyone
that
testified
for
the
concise
testimony.
It
was
really
good
and
not
very
repetitive,
which
is
really
nice
for
us.
I
guess
I'd
like
to
throw
this
on
the
record
again,
that
the
city
has
open
space
funds
and
I'd
really
encourage
them
to
look
at
spending
them
here,
possibly.
B
M
M
Happy
that
there's
not
a
preliminary
site
plan
just
leaves
a
little
bit
of
mystery
that
I'm
a
little
bit
uncomfortable
with
it's
a
little
bit
more
straightforward
with
access
straight
off
orchard.
I
feel
that
that
condition
number
three
is
mitigated
a
little
bit
more.
So
I
feel
a
little
bit
more
comfortable,
but
approving
without
a
site
plan
is
a
little
bit
difficult
for
a
reason,
and
it
is
required
for
the
application
to.
B
Yeah
thanks,
commissioner
moore
I'll,
be
supporting
the
motion.
As
stated,
I
think
this
is
a
happy
medium.
I
think
that
this
gets
the
airport
going,
as
commissioner
lesbian
mentioned
this
against
the
airport
moving
on
the
a1
portion,
and
I
I
would
fully
encourage
the
city
and
the
airport
to
to
use
the
time
to
do
some
study
on
the
a2
parcels
and
how
those
might
might
develop
in
a
responsible
way.
You
know
the
western
boundary
is
obviously
an
issue.
B
I
think
there's
an
issue
on
the
northern
edges
as
well
with
some
of
those
adjacent
properties,
there's
quite
a
bit
of
proposed.
You
know
park
space
in
that
middle
parcel
that
we
talked
about
earlier.
So
I
think
that
this
gives
the
airport
in
the
sea
some
time
to
vet
how
they
may
take
access
to
those
western
parcels
how
those
park
spaces
may
come
together
that
sort
of
thing,
so
I
would
encourage
the
city
of
the
airport
to
do
that
again.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
here
tonight
for
your
testimony
and
and
the
evening
in
general.
