Description
Work & Evening Session
February 14, 2022
A
B
A
C
Good
evening,
mr
president
and
commissioners,
we
are
here
today
to
talk
about
the
zoning
code
rewrite
and
the
progress
that
we
have
made.
We
have
a
new
module
or
a
new
installment
out,
and
we
kind
of
wanted
to
give
you
a
brief
tutorial
on
what
that
module
entails,
how
you
can
find
that
material
and
how
you
or
constituents
can
actually
participate
in
our
community
outreach
that
we
are
will
be
enduring
for
enduring
that
we
will
be
participating
in
over
the
next
couple
of
months.
C
C
So
we
went
through
a
number
of
months
of
public
engagement
with
that
and
now
we
have
moved
on
to
module
two
or
that
second
installment.
The
second
installment
is
really
the
meat
of
the
code
and
it
talks
about
those
development
and
design
standards
on
which
create
the
look
and
feel
of
buildings
and
sites
throughout
the
city.
C
C
So,
just
to
give
you
an
idea
that
at
the
end
of
january,
we
went
ahead
and
released
module
two
and
we
will
go
ahead
and
continue
through
that
neighborhood
and
city
outreach
through
april
10th
and
then
from
there.
Then
we're
going
to
start
on
module
3
and
we
will
do
some
community
outreach
for
that
as
well.
C
That'll
take
us
through
early
summer
as
and
then
we
will,
by
the
time
we
get
to
fall,
which
would
be
october.
We
should
have
additional
city-wide
outreach
for
a
consolidated
plan,
so
that'll
enable
us
to
take
module.
One
two
and
three
and
put
all
of
those
items
together,
make
sure
that
we
do
continued
education
as
well
as
outreach
to
our
community
to
see
where
they
are.
And
then
we
will
begin
the
public
hearing
process
where
we
have
an
opportunity
to
come
before
you
for
a
formal
recommendation
before
we
go
to
our
city
council.
C
So
we
are
hoping
for
a
final
adoption
in
july
of
2023,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
in
the
meantime.
So
we
want
to
tell
you
what
we've
been
up
to
some
of
those
proposed
changes
and
then
how
we
propose
to
communicate
with
the
the
community.
So
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
deanna
dupuy
to
get
us
kicked
off.
D
Hello
commissioners,
good
to
see
you
we
as
andrea,
said,
I'm
gonna
go
through
our
some
of
the
proposed
changes
from
module.
Two.
If
you
had
the
opportunity
to
look
at
the
document,
it's
huge
it's
the
zoning
code,
and
so
this
is
not
all
of
the
changes
that
you'll
find
in
module
2.
But
it's.
What
we
kind
of
see
is
some
of
the
largest
changes
and
how
we're
communicating
them
to
our
community.
D
So
our
first
change
is
we
an
update
to
our
dimensional
requirements,
specifically
around
minimum
lot
size.
So
if
you
do
go
to
the
dimensional
table,
you'll
see
reductions
in
almost
all
residential
zones
for
minimum
lot
size.
This
example
is
showing
the
r1c
zone
district.
So
currently
our
minimum
lot
size
is
5000
and
our
recommendation
is
for
that
to
go
down
to
4
000,
with
also
decreased
recommendations
for
lock
with
and-
and
I
we
have
some
reasons
here
for
that
change
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
every
single
reason.
D
The
next
dimensional
update
to
our
dimensional
standards
is
we're
actually
removing
the
density
calculation
for
residential
or
actually
all
zones,
so
no
longer
of
using
the
calculation
of
max
units
per
acre,
we're
removing
that
requirement
and
instead
are
going
to
be
focusing
on
objective
criteria
such
as
minimum
parking
setbacks,
minimum
lot,
size
and
maximum
height
and,
seeing
you
know,
let's
build
the
building
that
way
so
that
we
can
more
accurately
measure
impact
of
a
new
development.
So
this
is
a
good
example
of
the
images.
D
The
buildings
are
exactly
the
same
form,
but
you
know
under
a
zoning
code
that
limits
units
per
acre.
It
may
artificially
limit
the
number
of
apartments
or
units
that
could
be
inside
that
building
and
instead,
if
there's
enough
room
to
meet
the
parking
requirements,
setbacks,
etc.
You
could
have
two
more
units
in
that.
D
But
on
the
flip
side,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
are
removing
density
requirements,
we're
providing
some
predictability
to
our
residents
about
protecting
existing
neighborhoods,
especially
with
creating
transition
zones
between
a
more
intense
property
use
like
apartments
or
commercial
and
its
transition
to
a
single-family
residential.
So
adding
several
different
production
standards
like
what's
shown
here
on
the
the
images,
is
either
a
extended
amount
of
35-foot
requirement
or
you
could
just
add
extra
10
feet.
D
We
also
recognize-
and
we've
kind
of
this
has
been
a
priority
of
the
city-
is
that
we
want
to
encourage
sustainable
and
resilient
development
recognizing
that
it's
expensive.
We
want
to
provide
incentives,
and
this
is
really
creating
a
parking
reduction
in
exchange
for
energy
or
water
saving
improvements.
D
D
We're
also
creating
a
new
chapter
in
the
code
or
a
new
section,
which
is
to
promote
access
and
connectivity.
We
know
that
there
are
many
best
practices
in
site
design
that
enable
more
efficient
and
safe
circulation
around
a
property
so
pulling
those
out
to
make
them
clear
that
this
is
a
priority
for
us
and
that
you
know
this
is
what's
required
for
safe
and
efficient
site
design,
and
our
last
change
is
another
new
section
to
our
code,
which
is
ensuring
maintenance
of
conditions
of
approval.
D
D
E
Good
evening,
commissioners,
I
would
now
like
to
present
the
community
engagement
plan
for
module
two
of
the
zoning
code.
Rewrite
we
learned
from
module,
one
that
it's
important
for
us
to
focus
on
the
quality
of
the
conversations
with
the
community,
and
if
that
means
taking
our
time
to
come
up
with
a
strategic
community
engagement
plan,
then
we
should
do
so.
Zoning
is
a
technical
and
confusing
topic
and
can
be
difficult
to
understand.
E
E
We
provide
a
couple,
helpful
tips
and
then
also
a
nice
reference
guide.
We
use
a
lot
of
dimensions
throughout
the
document
and
not
everybody
can
think
of
what
10
feet
might
mean,
so
we
try
to
keep
it
idaho
focused
when
you
think
of
or
when
you
see
five
feet,
maybe
think
of
a
mountain
bike.
When
you
see
20
feet,
maybe
think
the
length
of
a
white
water
raft.
E
The
second
document
we
put
together
was
the
executive
summary
that
covered
the
eight
major
changes
that
deanna
just
went
over
this
kind
of
gives
us
a
little
bit
of
history
of
where
we've
been
where
we
are
where
we
are
now
and
why
we
propose
some
of
these
changing
changes.
Giving
some
background
to
each
of
these.
E
The
third
is
a
conversion
map
which
deanna
put
together,
which
is
a
really
cool,
interactive
map
that
you
can
zoom
in
and
out.
You
can
type
in
your
address.
You
can
click
on
a
parcel
and
you'll
be
you'll,
be
able
to
see
the
proposed
zone
as
well
as
the
new
zone,
and
that
comes
with
a
legend
as
well.
E
We
started
our
community
outreach
efforts.
Last
week,
we've
hosted
a
couple
already.
We
thought
it
was
important
to
head
out
to
each
of
the
planning
areas
and
give
specific
examples
of
what
this
might
mean
for
their
neighborhood.
So
we
went
to
the
central
bench
just
last
week
and
gave
a
couple
examples
I'll
get
to
in
just
a
minute,
as
we
worked
with
a
local
architect
to
kind
of
put
the
whole
picture
together
to
see
what
these
changes
look
like.
E
In
addition
to
all
these
outward-facing
events,
we
also
have
had
several
events
already
with
more
technical
users
with
uli
american
institute
of
architects.
We
have
compass
coming
up
and
several
others
as
well.
These
are
just
the
public-facing
ones
for
now
another
portion
that
we
really
wanted
to
try
and
focus
on
for
module.
Two
is
really
connecting
the
why
we
have
all
these
amazing
action
plans
and
housing.
Housing
needs
analysis,
climate
action
roadmap
and
trying
to
tie
the
whole
picture
together
with
the
zoning
code,
rewrite.
E
We'll
also
have
a
survey
available
starting
february
24th
to
april
10th.
We'll
have
two
of
those
one
will
be
a
technical
use,
user
survey,
people
that
use
the
code
on
a
more
regular
basis,
and
then
we
took
that
survey
and
broke
it
down
to
more
community
focused
language,
and
that
one
is
also
translated
to
spanish
again
that
will
be
out
in
the
community
on
the
24th
of
february,
and
that
is
it
for
us.
For
now
we
have
a
couple
of
upcoming
engagement
opportunities,
we'd
love
for
you
to
join
us
on
any
of
these
as
well.
E
B
B
F
F
F
So
I
can't
I'm
sorry
city
folks,
I
couldn't
quite
catch
all
those
names.
Just
my
first
reaction
is,
it
looks
terrific
and
I'm
very
excited.
I
think
the
general
direction
is
is
really
really
good.
My
second
question
is,
as
you
may
know,
we've
recently
had
a
very
exciting
set
of
meetings
related
to
a
certain
use
up
on
state
street,
and
I
note
in
the
code
that
we
have
three
pages
of
specific
requirements
for
adult
entertainment
locations.
We
have
pages
on
pubs.
F
We
have
specific,
you
know
two
or
three
code,
specific
pages
on
on
cell
phone
towers
or
telecommunications
hours,
but
we
don't
have
any
code
specific
language
on
how
how
folks
to
who
don't
have
a
home
and
how
we
try
and
help
them.
Where
would
that
fit
in
in
this
module?
One
two
or
three
breakup
of
the
new
zoning
code.
C
Commission
president
shaffer
commissioner
gillespie,
so
we
originally
reviewed
that
as
part
of
module
one,
but
the
really
important
piece
to
this
is
is
that
we
move
through.
These
are
draft
documents,
sure
we're
taking
input
all
the
way
through
the
process
and
then
we'll
take
additional
input.
Once
we've
made
amendments
with
the
consolidated
plan,
so
I
would
encourage
you
to
do
that.
C
C
We
know
that
those
recommendations
could
be
very,
very
difficult
when
applied
so
we'd
like
to
revisit
that,
and
not
only
revisit
that,
but
actually
looking
at
how
we
can
mitigate
some
of
those
uses
and
really
integrate
them
into
our
neighborhoods.
So
they
become
a
holistic
neighborhood
rather
than
they
what
they
are
now.
F
Right
I
appreciate
that
and
I'm
sorry
you
know,
I
think
I
missed
the
module
one
briefing
and
I
haven't
done
my
homework
so
I'll
go
back
and
take
a
look
at
that,
because
I
definitely
have
some
ideas
on
how
you
you
know
the
city
could
help
folks
like
us
in
that
making.
So,
mr
chairman,
I'll
defer
to
whatever
chris
wants
to
ask.
B
C
Commission
president
schaefer
and
commissioner
blanchard
yes,
so
those
are
what
we
call
the
zoning
conversion
map.
So
if
you
go
to
zoning
code,
rewrite
on
the
cities,
page
it'll,
take
you
to
an
interactive
story
map
and
it
will
allow
you
to
maneuver
through
those
maps
are
tied
together.
So
you
can
scroll
in
scroll
out
or
even
go
directly
to
a
parcel.
If
you
click
on
that
parcel,
it
will
tell
you
what
the
current
zone
is.
I
I
So
about
the,
I
think,
milk
kind
of
our
commissioner
gillespie
kind
of
alluded
to
it
to
kind
of
some
of
the
specific
uses,
and
maybe
this
was
in
module
one
as
well.
But
a
couple
of
topics
that
I
kind
of
have,
in
the
back
of
my
mind,
are
things
like
flex
space
and
then
student
housing,
specifically
kind
of
some
of
that
housing
around
or
some
of
these
apartment
projects
around
the
university
that
come
across
in
that
neighborhood.
C
But
ultimately,
at
this
point
in
time,
we
have
tried
to
consolidate
the
housing
definitions,
to
make
it
a
more
simple
and
more
organized
document.
Now
that
doesn't
mean
that
that's
the
end-all
be-all,
so
you
know,
if
you
have
any
recommendations
for
us,
we
would
love
for
you
to
provide
those,
and
you
guys
are
the
experts.
C
J
Hi
staff
really
great
job.
This
is
this
is
awesome
to
see
and
I
look
forward
to
learning
learning
it
all
and
seeing
more
of
it.
So
I
know
I
understand.
Excuse
me,
I
know
that
this
is
a
proposal
until
it's
adopted,
but
I
was
curious.
What
kind
of
public
feedback
are
you
looking
for?
Is
the
proposal
still
morphing
through
these
topics?
These
are
module
one
and
two
or
or
are
they
already?
You
know
preset
as
far
as
the
proposal
goes.
C
Commission
president
shafer
commissioner
said
this
is
certainly
an
evolving
document
and
an
evolving
process,
so
we
are
welcoming
all
feedback
to
modules,
one
two
three
and
then
the
consolidated
plan.
So
I
would
expect
to
see
that
the
document
will
continually
to
evolve
until
formal
adoption,
and
you
know
even
at
that
point
I
I
would
not
be
surprised
to
see
the
council
make
some
minor
amendments
to
the
document
at
that
time.
So
this
is
definitely
not
a
solidified
document.
It's
an
evolving
one
that
we're
actually
welcoming.
C
J
G
H
Might
be
able
to
answer
this
or
maybe
deanna?
My
question
is
about
the
specific
plans,
particularly
sp03
syringa
valley.
The
way
I
understand
it
is
what
we're
doing
here
with
the
zoning
code.
Rewrite
won't
affect
any
of
the
specific
plans
and
they've.
Obviously,
since
they're
newer
than
the
code
would
feasibly
have
some
better
best
practice
approaches
to
zoning
and
all
the
issues
that
you're
dealing
with.
H
C
C
I
don't
imagine
that
they'll
be
too
far
behind
and
our
goal
is
is
that
we
actually
have
really
innovative
cutting
edge
solutions.
So
you
might
see
the
city
of
boise
code
be
a
little
head
of
the
game,
which
that
would
be
my
preference,
but
I
think
you're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
similarities
as
we
move
forward.
G
B
H
B
You
all
for
the
update,
I
can't
believe
it's
been
almost
a
year
since
we
saw
you
last
on
this
very
topic.
That's
kind
of
amazing,
so
nice
work
appreciate
the
update,
no
real
questions
from
me.
The
one
thing
that
really
stuck
deanna
with
your
presentation
was
the
the
ensuring
maintenance
on
projects.
I
think
that's
a
really
good
move.
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
good
things
happening
with
this
plan,
but
I
think
that's
a
great
move.
B
A
G
G
A
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.
The
item
you're
interested
in
comes
up
for
discussion.
You'll
be
called
upon
and
unmuted.
A
There
is
a
chat
function
in
zoom.
This
is
not
part
of
the
record
and
should
only
be
used
if
technical
difficulties
arise.
Our
procedures
for
public
hearings
begin
with
the
presentation
from
the
planning
team,
then
we'll
go
to
the
application,
and
then
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
and
who

Thank
you
crystal
good
evening.
We
are
citizen
volunteers
appointed
by
the
mayor
and
approved
by
the
city
council.
We
make
final
decisions
on
conditional
use,
permits,
variances
and
appeals
and
recommendations
to
the
city
council
on
subdivisions,
rezones,
annexations
and
code
or
comprehensive
plan
amendments.
B
Any
decision
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.
So
that's
why
it
is
important
to
give
your
name
and
address
when
you
testify
tonight.
B
We
utilize
the
consent
agenda.
This
means
that
the
applicant
agrees
with
the
staff
report
and
there
is
no
public
opposition
dating,
will
be
placed
on
the
consent
agenda.
All
items
that
are
placed
on
the
consent
agenda
are
approved
with
one
motion
without
further
public
comment:
prime's
not
on
the
consent
agenda.
We
will
hold
a
full
public
hearing
in
the
order
just
detailed
a
few
minutes
ago
with
staff,
applicant
neighborhood
association
and
then
the
public
testimony.
