Applicant Jacqueline Sherwood, who identified herself as the chief administrator and owner of Treasure Valley Transition Home, told the commission the program provides 24-hour supervision, life-skills training and schooling support for youth in foster care and that the home has operated since 2005. She said staff-to-resident ratios meet state requirements (1 staff per 8 residents) and that the home typically staffs two employees from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. to support community activities.

Sherwood said police involvement at the organization’s current location has been limited. She told the commission that \"in the last couple of years, we've had to contact law enforcement a total of 20 times,\" and that most calls were for runaways, with the majority returning within hours or the next morning. Sherwood added that in 20 years of operation, \"no staff have ever been harmed by residents, and our neighbors have never had to call or press charges on any of our residents.\"

Staff described the request as an \"unlisted land use\" under the zoning schedule; because code changes since 2007 removed an exact match for the prior category, the planning director brought the application forward as a CUP transfer. Christy Watkins, principal planner, told commissioners the property is approximately 7,000 square feet and that the building department had requested a commercial permit for R-3 occupancy; the building official will inspect and advise any safety-related changes needed.

Several former residents, program alumni and partner organizations spoke in favor. Luis Granados of Breaking Chains Development Academy and alumni speakers described the program as providing mentorship and stability that helped graduates secure jobs, housing and family stability. Commissioner comments were strongly supportive; the commission moved and approved the permit with the recommended conditions. Staff reminded the applicant of the 15-day appeal period before the CUP becomes effective.

Conditions require compliance with applicable building, fire and planning requirements and any upgrades identified in the building-department occupancy inspection. The commission’s approval allows the nonprofit to relocate and continue the residential foster-care work at the proposed address pending the appeal period and required building-department actions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 10, 2025 - Planning and Zoning Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved a conditional use permit allowing Treasure Valley Transition Home to move to 115 Thirteenth Avenue North and continue operating a supervised residence for teenage boys, subject to building-department occupancy review and standard conditions.","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},6207239,"Walmart allowed to display seasonal merchandise in parking lot after parking analysis",317,2735000,3052000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3758843-e3049869b9588e31a3cf8f65e0224225&start=2735&end=3052","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3758843-e3049869b9588e31a3cf8f65e0224225/thumbnail_2735000.jpg","/articles/6207239/Nampa/Canyon-County/Idaho/Walmart-allowed-to-display-seasonal-merchandise-in-parking-lot-after-parking-analysis","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6207239-a968764250cf005bcbee13bfd82735fb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771194636&Signature=DDtKS7~KIYuU3thbp~C6E27EJ01kcGRRo9xjg~T1gt0pIhFTxSDpsJuG9Eeaw0fz0wCubpDzFof72uY3fnoaFlEUW94vLHgJYGvgc9UCv7AZx3Z7yQIgz1GgKvKL11FlnzXtw63bku~lh1qgP0-oE2S4UQmJqREB77u~ISNO8E0Uep9~~s4Z0cSReB1ANvK1FlvOaChoBWPEKEI4777UZRBrdW8JLv-dpJE6wxzdQxCWGUoZCcuv~FxKmwDxRiCRc5y2QNvmB2-Yhn6JPGgwnvop5CRJSDcS80PIjOBS3j2GosNkTPO6K5j0kQAGHhDO4Ifml~7Z94zInhHE7BCx5A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nampa Planning and Zoning Commission on June 10 approved a conditional use permit allowing Walmart to store and display seasonal merchandise in part of its parking lot at 2100 Twelfth Avenue Road, subject to parking and safety conditions.

Planning staff presented a parking analysis showing the store’s net floor area requires 674 parking spaces and the site currently provides 796 spaces. The proposed exterior storage would occupy 60 spaces, leaving 736 available — 62 more than required, staff said. The staff report recommended conditions including ensuring accessible parking and fire lanes are not blocked and obtaining any building or fire permits required.

James Miller, the store manager, told the commission the displays are the seasonal garden and bagged goods Walmart has sold since the store opened and that the request formalizes longstanding practice. Staff noted building-department comments that ‘‘the outside storage shall not reduce or affect the accessible parking spaces or the route of public way’’ and that higher-piled storage may require additional permits under Title 4 (building regulations).

One resident raised notice and trash concerns in a public comment; staff said that comment related to a different area of the store and referred the resident to code compliance. Staff also said Nampa Fire District provided standard fire-access comments.

Commissioners asked why the city is addressing these permits now. Staff said recent additions to building-department staffing have enabled code compliance follow-up on long-standing practices that previously went unchecked.

The commission approved the permit with the recommended conditions and findings. Staff reminded the applicant that the permit becomes effective 15 calendar days after written decision is provided unless appealed; applicants must confirm with planning staff that no appeals were filed before taking action.","The commission approved a conditional use permit letting Walmart place non-enclosed seasonal merchandise in part of its parking lot after staff found the store would remain over-parked relative to code; conditions protect accessible parking and fire access.",{"_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},6207245,"Nampa panel approves two home-based gun businesses with conditions",1149,655000,1804000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3758843-e3049869b9588e31a3cf8f65e0224225&start=655&end=1804","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3758843-e3049869b9588e31a3cf8f65e0224225/thumbnail_655000.jpg","/articles/6207245/Nampa/Canyon-County/Idaho/Nampa-panel-approves-two-home-based-gun-businesses-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6207245-5b5e8cabe5a25974c5332832207e4387/orig.mp4?Expires=1771194636&Signature=BPhRaAmO9c3nWHIkv1hvOw4lyet1Wgs5Dq6DIx~1KiisLKtCNuSNda4shXwmZgzTzs-hgDC8mqtp2~o4l2WyLQly~1JlTSqA9qsISuAo21l2w7yzUs6XRCun-xLQtkR7VNT9U1vCmNp9mvNrWE9EKR8jBiQUPIGW0FXeVNJcxQGs0zYH1TqJsdyiVQYS3Jv2umeBx-ht5dPQwZisNdBnewOnmE0ZaGpVpzGMT0i8bdfR9RY~AX6F37xSqgnpP8TzIEefIbBNudhdxHtzgosHRO5IdbJbuSLpmlIhvnwW61CjcU04Gj7OXuuHkhp6m1dbBImm2VVXMFZV9Y5qOtk6bg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nampa Planning and Zoning Commission on June 10 approved conditional use permits allowing two home-based firearm businesses to operate in single-family residential zones, subject to building-permit, mechanical-ventilation and federal licensing requirements.

Commission staff and neighbors told the commission the approvals are conditioned on compliance with city building codes and federal firearms rules; the decisions signal the city will allow limited firearms-related work in homes when applicants meet zoning and safety standards.

Planning staff told commissioners the applications require both a conditional use permit and a home-occupation permit and that building-department review could require mechanical ventilation if chemicals or processes generate fumes. Planning staff said a federal firearms license (FFL) is also required. \"A mechanical permit will need to be obtained for the ventilation system,\" staff said.

Mark Bigler, who told the commission he lives at 5616 East Walbrook, said his work would be primarily hand-tool gunsmithing and laser etching, not heavy machining. He described a partial-week schedule and limited in-person customer contact: \"Probably 4 days a week. Probably early mornings from 7 or so until about noon, 01:00, working on actual hardware. Then the rest of the time I've got an office... Shipping stuff out, having stuff shipped in, no foot traffic,\" he said. Bigler told the commission he stores customer firearms in dedicated safes and estimated \"5 to 10\" customer guns on hand at one time.

Neighbors asked about safety and testing. Megan Markley, who said she lives on East Milam Street, asked whether designs or modifications could make firearms unsafe for the neighborhood; staff and the applicant pointed to ATF oversight. Jeff Wire, who lives two houses from Bigler, asked whether any test firing would take place at the home and about liability coverage. Bigler replied, \"All firing of guns would be done out at a range,\" and said he planned to obtain liability insurance through private carriers.

A second applicant, William Bullock of 30 North Sunset Street, told the commission he intends to sell firearms and conduct transfers primarily online and \"by appointment only,\" with no storefront or walk-in traffic. Staff described Bullock's proposal as similar to the other application but noted it includes no gunsmithing or manufacturing.

Commissioners questioned how the city enforces conditions. Staff explained the complaint process: if two separate households report a problem, planning staff will investigate and may recommend revocation of a conditional use permit. Staff also said that if a required building permit is not obtained within the six-month window that the conditional use permit is valid for, \"the conditional use permit would expire.\"

Commissioners moved and approved both permits. Commissioner Morgan moved to approve the Mark Bigler permit; the motion carried. A separate motion to approve the Bullock permit also passed. Staff reminded applicants that the permits become effective 15 calendar days after written decisions are provided unless an appeal is filed.

The approvals attach standard conditions: compliance with Nampa building and home-occupation rules, securing any required mechanical or building permits, maintaining required federal licensing, and following building-department directions for any required ventilation or chemical handling. The commission recorded no numeric vote tallies in the meeting record; staff said appeals may be filed with the planning department within the 15-day window.","The Planning and Zoning Commission on June 10 approved conditional use permits for two home-based firearm businesses in single-family neighborhoods, imposing building-permit, ventilation and licensing conditions and noting an appeals period.","actionData","errors"]
