Why it matters: The votes move a set of private development projects and public infrastructure work forward and set the stage for a comprehensive plan update and additional council discussion about growth-related fiscal impacts.

What the council did (highlights):
- Approved final plat: Cherry Grove Number 5 (21.44 acres; KB Homes) — final plat approval was moved, seconded and carried on roll call (members recorded as voting “Yes”: Rodriguez; Mills; Haverfield; Griffin; Jengula; Reynolds).
- Confirmed appointments: Mitch Minetti to the Nampa Development Corporation (term to 2028-09-30) and Peter McPherson as Workforce Development Director (staff said no additional funding required; position fits within existing budget).
- Authorized a task order with Keller & Associates for construction engineering and inspection services for the U.S. 20/26 widening project, not to exceed $680,600 (approval recorded after staff explained the grant award and pending FY25 budget amendment).
- Authorized staff to apply for a Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Section 4302 Carbon Utilization Procurement Grant (biogas resource recovery at the Water Renewal Facility) — motion carried on roll call.
- Approved two ordinance readings under suspension of rules: amendment to the code on residing in a public right-of-way and naming a private street East Alfredo Lane; both passed on roll call.
- Approved vacations of unused portions of existing public utility easements at multiple sites (approved with conditions that easements over active mains would not be vacated and that legal exhibits be provided).
- Approved a site variance and related approvals for a downtown drive‑thru project (variance to landscape buffer and maneuvering-area rules); the council tie was broken by Mayor Kling and the motion carried.
- Advanced several annexation/rezone actions (first readings and, in some cases, suspension of rules) including the East Ranch mixed‑use annexation (134.574 acres; intended mix of RS-4, RMH, IL and BC) and an IL annexation for 0 Landon Lane.

Vote mechanics and process notes: Several items were routine consent or staff‑recommended items with limited public comment. A few higher-profile items prompted extended council discussion (see separate articles in this package). The Southwest Nampa specific area plan resolution, which had been continued from an earlier meeting, passed after a tie vote that Mayor Kling broke with a recorded “Yes.”

What’s next: Several items approved tonight depend on follow-on actions — grant paperwork, FY25 budget amendment to reflect grant proceeds, recordation of plats and easement documents, building permits and design review. Multiple annexations will require follow-up administrative steps and development‑agreement execution.

Ending: The council adjourned to executive session to discuss legal and personnel matters at the end of the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","April 21, 2025 - Regular Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Nampa City Council on 2025-05-05 approved a package of development and administrative actions, including a final plat for Cherry Grove Number 5, vacations of unused utility easements, a task order for construction engineering on the U.S. 20/26 widening project, and multiple zoning actions and first readings for larger annexations.","taxTitle","Nampa, Canyon County, Idaho","taxId",2629,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6267148,"Council advances East Ranch annexation and mixed‑use plan; first reading passes under suspension of rules",694,8049000,8743000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3077282-4bea9bad4e770b6e688d5f59f4057a4a&start=8049&end=8743","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3077282-4bea9bad4e770b6e688d5f59f4057a4a/thumbnail_8049000.jpg","/articles/6267148/Nampa/Canyon-County/Idaho/Council-advances-East-Ranch-annexation-and-mixeduse-plan-first-reading-passes-under-suspension-of-rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6267148-478da2c28867f5e8c45328622b94efa0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161706&Signature=UGys-qf07gcdrJeBYwaEQibI0zIkVJu~RtrdpSJCV8MZaLHLtMFjlJvoVfM79RdspW6xnxN9BNGUQQ0UeC1Rq8peU2WoCL~GTG6UtFjT-1rma7oeS5GPVgHwg7fyAcBBIMt6wbG0PddYi5FsqmIxiuvg6lJmuc9I4m~5gjy9nHRS58HLTQhahiHHzoYG-aPe0Yg4~agJ2KWRYN4J9IfJn4dmwEkXfBtaPuVtDh8cmDYtjFTUWZhViS64XvNloLbonE2Y-wt4GKTZEzall5koo5bym~rk4cwaB1X5R7mB0Bv36yZowQy9ppGrXTOSkX0ZEJiqMutYBvNodTAYuz-CzA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nampa City Council on 2025-05-05 advanced the East Ranch annexation and zoning package — a mixed‑use proposal covering approximately 134.574 acres that would, if fully approved, zone roughly 85.54 acres RS‑4 (single‑family), 20.7 acres RMH (multi‑family), 16.46 acres IL (light industrial) and 11.85 acres BC (community business).

Why it matters: East Ranch is a large, multi‑parcel development that would add housing, industrial and commercial parcels on land being annexed from county jurisdiction. The proposal also contains a conditional use permit item (public storage facility on a 4.53‑acre parcel) and an associated variance request related to storage‑facility siting.

Council action: After public hearing items and deliberation, the council passed the first reading under suspension of rules and recorded approval on roll call. The ordinance language and development agreement terms presented to council are applicant‑driven and were placed before council after the parties had reached agreement, staff said. Council members discussed whether development‑agreement terms remain modifiable after this step; city staff advised those agreements are negotiated with the applicant and that rescission or renegotiation would be a council action.

Council discussion: Multiple council members raised the broader policy topic of whether to pursue “mitigation fees” tied to new growth. One council member urged a pause on new development agreements until the council develops a mitigation approach; other council members said such fees would shift costs to homebuyers and must be carefully analyzed. Mayor Kling and staff said any change in policy or fees would require council deliberation and careful timing; members also noted that adding fees after an application has already advanced would be legally and administratively complicated.

Next steps: The ordinance and development‑agreement paperwork carry follow‑up tasks: recordation, detail design review, and execution of the development agreement by both parties. The council directed staff to prepare for implementation steps and noted the need to schedule additional council work sessions focused on growth‑mitigation options.

Ending: The first reading passed under suspension; council members also asked staff to set up a study session to examine mitigation proposals and timeline options.","The Nampa City Council on 2025-05-05 advanced the East Ranch annexation and zoning package — a mixed‑use proposal covering approximately 134.574 acres that would, if fully approved, zone roughly 85.54 acres RS‑4, 20.7 acres RMH, 16.46 acres IL and 11.85 acres BC.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6267153,"Mayor breaks tie; council adopts Southwest Nampa specific area plan resolution and pledges broader review during 2050 comp‑plan update",396,2183000,2579000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3077282-4bea9bad4e770b6e688d5f59f4057a4a&start=2183&end=2579","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3077282-4bea9bad4e770b6e688d5f59f4057a4a/thumbnail_2183000.jpg","/articles/6267153/Nampa/Canyon-County/Idaho/Mayor-breaks-tie-council-adopts-Southwest-Nampa-specific-area-plan-resolution-and-pledges-broader-review-during-2050-compplan-update","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6267153-4063f8410a0c9842ee1128e09baa3174/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161706&Signature=iNE7UjrA39Pds9eaNevU7d5KP8uNJ2mG8KF2QWciNgZ677VzMq8apAzinuSrCXctShitWhA-6jH0VcXPgHUpyxEiqPY3GrcVpL-hTAayoPIDk4KCPwRSCK6bMMQ~RdZChjRwAY9eOQB9gMEols9ClWw2EP4Z5r0ml0dxpYwd08UUe8Nz5TiWRP4oTRqUMsUdXJSi-Bd7SDiZceOxTaEYuR2LgpFWNuGp-Qi8vHeyByzrikujFovJBN~qS6BOXr~WmN-nOojiajwOyXQ0owBg2ZuRAyJL~rzrhP75DUwoylB-iu5R19Lbpjr3OCZGNvS9y8GJzcJG7ywlXIvwN9ZDdQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nampa City Council adopted a resolution on 2025-05-05 formally approving the Southwest Nampa Specific Area Plan after a tie vote that Mayor Kling broke.

Why it matters: The resolution memorializes prior legislative action on the city’s comprehensive plan and updates the official Future Land Use Map for a sizable area in southwest Nampa. Council and staff said the approval preserves lower-density designations near the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge while flagging the high‑density pocket included in the map for future review.

What the meeting record shows: Legal counsel explained that resolutions are the procedural mechanism under Idaho law to record comprehensive plan amendments and to confirm that required procedures were followed. Councilmember Haverfield indicated he would have voted ‘No’ if given the chance at the prior hearing; the roll-call on adoption recorded a tie which Mayor Kling resolved by voting “Yes.”

Mayor Kling said his vote was driven by two considerations: first, the adopted plan lowers overall density in the southern area near the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge and thus protects ground near the refuge; second, the city will reexamine the Southwest area as part of a 2050 comprehensive plan update that will include “extensive outreach” and county coordination.

Council comment and next steps: Several council members reiterated that the adoption is an administrative step to memorialize the decision reached at the public hearing on March 3 and not an opportunity to revisit the merits. Mayor Kling and staff said the city will review the plan’s density allocations during the forthcoming comprehensive plan process and work with Canyon County officials during that review.

Ending: The resolution takes effect as adopted; the council directed staff to include the Southwest Nampa area and its densities in the comprehensive plan review starting in the coming months.","After a tie vote, Mayor Kling cast the deciding vote to adopt a resolution formalizing the Southwest Nampa Specific Area Plan. The resolution reaffirms earlier public hearings and will be followed by a citywide comprehensive plan update beginning this summer that will revisit densities in the Southwest area, the mayor said.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":44,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":50,"_51":105,"_53":106,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":107,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":108,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6267139,"Council approves Cherry Grove Number 5 final plat; planning commission reports multiple approvals for duplexes, townhomes and caregiver residence",220,631000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3077282-4bea9bad4e770b6e688d5f59f4057a4a&start=411&end=631","/articles/6267139/Nampa/Canyon-County/Idaho/Council-approves-Cherry-Grove-Number-5-final-plat-planning-commission-reports-multiple-approvals-for-duplexes-townhomes-and-caregiver-residence","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6267139-cfa8547dfc74e7541160a61ba0bf8453/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161706&Signature=TnWMMbqZKulYW7jCHGqgKtbA-oWUhic-lxy-Zm2de8VOIlx3geiuPwChi~p0bD9ELTKDwtJfNeFlc1dTsasIty5fR3Kc2gQ5zHCKvzZWGXWmttnopGOmFRBv~w98G8LlcAuxXer1Lv02vJCLL6918SyDjY3BkY7gjAZ~1j1cxBYnmd3DEcMRliOYMiSMWNG1TrDA0htbO7YHJeeSnv4F9vV-vcrKxWUGty0eBBpzjRggXmLL3RBUKt8GN29SL5YukQ6M~8DilAyDzj8893SWjzbYWTqRfPwz7J13RLtXrjHf286nYrzOmDhj~UTHz-78RsNUjTiWgiJ8JonN1D0nmw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nampa City Council approved the final plat for Cherry Grove Number 5 on 2025-05-05, confirming the subdivision layout for 21.44 acres at 0 Elm Lane in an RS‑8.5 single‑family zoning district; staff said the development agreement and preliminary plat approvals were already in place.

Why it matters: Final plat approval allows the developer (KB Homes, per the staff summary) to record lots and proceed to building permits consistent with the development agreement and preliminary plat.

Planning and Zoning Commission report: Rodney Ashby, the planning and zoning director, told council the commission reported five items at its last meeting: a final plat approval for Cherry Grove Number 5 (the council item addressed tonight); conditional use permits for duplexes on Smith Avenue and in a cul‑de‑sac north of Ninth Avenue North on Second Street North (both approved by the commission); a preliminary plat and PUD for Sugar Creek townhomes (applicant reduced unit count to meet current code and the commission approved); and a conditional use permit to add a manufactured home as a caregiver residence at 7734 Birch Lane (approved on the condition that it’s a caregiver residence while the mother is living there, per code).

Council discussion: Councilmembers asked whether the development agreement for Cherry Grove had been signed; staff confirmed both the city and applicant had executed the development agreement and that the final plat matches the preliminary plan.

Next steps: Staff will record the final plat and proceed with required ministerial steps; building permits and any required site‑level plan review will follow.","Council granted final plat approval for Cherry Grove Number 5 (21.44 acres).

The updates will be published in the local paper and enter a 90‑day public comment period administered by FEMA.

Why it matters: If the maps stand after the comment period, many properties will see their floodplain designation reduced — staff said homeowners in the affected area could stop carrying flood insurance required under the previous mapping. City staff characterized the change as having significant benefit for residents whose parcels exit the floodplain.

What staff reported: Public works representative Daniel (Dan) Badger told the council FEMA’s authorization allows the city to place the notice in the paper and FEMA will hold the 90‑day comment window. Badger said the mapping effort has been ongoing for several years — mapping work started around 2008, maps went into effect in 2011, and the city’s recent remapping effort started about 2019–2020. He said staff do not anticipate comments that would delay the effective date and estimated residents could see the changes take effect roughly three months after publication.

Council response: Council members and the mayor expressed relief at the development and thanked staff for the years of work to secure the mapping change.

Next steps: The city will publish the FEMA notice, FEMA will administer the 90‑day comment period, and if there are no substantive appeals or comments, the new maps will take effect at the end of that comment window.","City staff told the council that FEMA has authorized publication of the revised Indian Creek floodplain maps.
