Staff reported that at the August hearing the commission had asked the applicant to reduce height, simplify the ADU design and clarify tree mitigation. Richard, a Boise City historic preservation staff member, said the applicant reduced the primary residence height from 29 feet 10 inches to 26 feet 8 inches (a 3 foot 2 inch reduction), simplified ADU windows and garage detailing, and supplied an arborist's tree mitigation plan. Based on those changes, staff changed its recommendation from denial to approval.

Richard referenced Secretary of the Interior guidance when describing compatibility: \"The secretary of interior standard number 9 states that new residences shall be differentiated from the old and shall be congruous with the massing size scale and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.\" He said staff considered the use of integral light-colored brick for the chimney and porch posts to be sufficient differentiation from a historic craftsman bungalow.

The applicant, architect Tad Jones of 1324 Boydston Lane, McCall, told the commission the design changes included lowering the roof height by 3 feet 2 inches, reducing basement and main ceiling heights, lowering porch height, changing the roof pitch, reducing dormer pitches, moving the primary residence slightly to better match setbacks, and reducing lot coverage from 35.7% to 34.9%.

Jones described revisions to the ADU and landscape work: \"We removed the 3 over 1 windows and replaced them with 1 over 1 windows at the ADU. We also changed the garage door to be a much more simple design...\" He also described tree protection measures and said protected trees and replacement plantings are shown on the landscape plan.

Commissioner Cindy Bonta asked about construction impacts given the site's proximity to Roosevelt Market and Roosevelt Elementary. Jones said the area is \"very high density\" and that \"there are regulations that the contractor is gonna have to follow for construction,\" and that the team had discussed placement of the ADU with neighbors to avoid conflicts with driveways and alley access.

Commissioner Otter moved to approve DRH25-00261; Commissioner Moore seconded. Roll call recorded Montoto, Otter, Parks, Sales and Moore voting in favor; the motion carried.

The commission approved the application as conditioned per the staff report. Work will proceed under the standard building and construction regulations and with tree protection measures to be detailed in construction documents.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Historic Preservation Commission","oneSentenceSummary","The Boise City Historic Preservation Commission voted 5-0 to approve a certificate of appropriateness for a new residence and ADU at 809 East State Street after the applicant reduced height and simplified the accessory structure.","taxTitle","Boise City, Boise, Ada County, Idaho","taxId",8706,"location","Idaho","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6454816,"Boise City staff outline update to 1979 historic preservation plan; consultant near contract",324,828000,1152000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5857974-a21bd6e4f2673183d97c5df9ac51cd27&start=828&end=1152","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5857974-a21bd6e4f2673183d97c5df9ac51cd27/thumbnail_828000.jpg","/articles/6454816/Idaho/Boise-City-staff-outline-update-to-1979-historic-preservation-plan-consultant-near-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6454816-cca7b8c45518ae9864cf93e1104d2351/orig.mp4?Expires=1770883292&Signature=eUgHAbRZo6d-mhwZXeg7lYQUfqjddSTqcI3Vk8o~np1T~hOuOjdpSxUpqJFmhO81OHR0U-bJ31aT1mH1zlcpXzFOl6gNFrJv7J2MJ~C0dxW6s1EXQa5A8GFsMO-1bwc-PJW3H9iDC~yKlMPzvV6oyg7U1crhB0PQsCqtq7ohm23aPmpSLhjhut63cxPlhGm1OrSTleNelMJY~t-E-OyvJBLBQZ6UjmtBo2VVsasURcn16zxc7kLOVE8ZFtwxdh9Pdl0FytHW2RxRYOdZsl72tty6HFpsyH0aDWhjjuj7QONoFxqL68sIicDoabuNzfeyM4viQ8UZPTCU14XJ0JRr7A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Boise City Historic Preservation Commission members heard an update on an effort to replace the city's 1979 historic preservation plan and strengthen the Boise Historic Preservation Program. Richard, a Boise City historic preservation staff member, said the city expects to be under contract with the consultant Northwest Vernacular by early October and plans public meetings in October and November.

The update matters because the existing plan dates from 1979 and staff told the commission the update will \"strengthen Boise Historic Preservation Program, update policies based on current trends and best practices, integrate sustainability and equity such as unrepresented communities, guide city departments, city council, and historic preservation commission on preservation activities, and provide public engagement and educational opportunities,\" according to Richard.

Staff described the project in three phases: (1) data collection and analysis to establish a baseline; (2) public and stakeholder outreach to shape goals and vision; and (3) plan development and adoption integrating findings and community input. Richard said the timeline calls for a project start in early October, public meetings in October and November, deliverables for phases 1 and 2 due on 12/31/2025, a draft plan due in March, a second draft due in June and a final plan due September 1 (dates as stated in the presentation).

A commissioner on the Historic Preservation Commission said calendars fill quickly and urged staff to schedule commission work sessions as soon as dates are available. Richard said staff planned the outreach in October and November specifically to complete public engagement before the winter holiday season, noting that waiting would likely push substantive engagement to the new year.

Staff and commissioners discussed public engagement methods; Richard said the outreach approach will be finalized with the consultant but will likely include design charrettes, questionnaires and public meetings and that neighborhood associations (including the East End and other historic neighborhoods) and under‑represented communities will be invited. He said commission participation is expected during work sessions, hearings and other activities.

Richard reminded the commission that the final preservation plan will follow the city's adoption process: the Historic Preservation Commission will provide a recommendation to City Council for formal adoption. No formal vote or final policy action on the plan was taken at this meeting.

Next steps: staff expects to finalize the consultant contract, post public meeting dates, and begin data collection and outreach in October and November as described.","City staff told the Boise City Historic Preservation Commission that a consultant contract with Northwest Vernacular is expected in early October and that the update will include data collection, public outreach and a multi-step plan adoption process with public meetings in October and November.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6454807,"Historic Preservation Commission actions: minutes approved, consent item passed, one house approved, two items deferred",1309,1537000,2846000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5857974-a21bd6e4f2673183d97c5df9ac51cd27&start=1537&end=2846","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5857974-a21bd6e4f2673183d97c5df9ac51cd27/thumbnail_1537000.jpg","/articles/6454807/Idaho/Historic-Preservation-Commission-actions-minutes-approved-consent-item-passed-one-house-approved-two-items-deferred","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6454807-bfb7af9d62b5b0428478587483635d97/orig.mp4?Expires=1770883292&Signature=LPLJCQZR5uR1JAfYNQCR-LIZSaIPInipC87DgG~~tmXmp8ElfBrvp42OUkrlsLMos12Wkd7IyLuiuzEpsO~be97wfA3A7zEV8ZDdmZ1yEWDDwesBG-XvYU3Gv49RUroU~jLFqKMuy~jiNxH1cCGYzosVaROnK4fXHj7U~SK2xp3081DzYYOqcCjnsjK-xGDG-722xYwduglckoMWsfGX7pRpSburD5GVTuZjOZfjb61q4lArW4DL1G-Vkeg-N0li8hFfra-9F0aYArP0~DRGO6T7ASq~w3Iu3s1uEjtKEkeKw1Q1DMTbGt7bPRauc21SWhgcWl2bcgBgyNXCED9-VQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Boise City Historic Preservation Commission took several procedural and substantive actions at the meeting.

Two items were deferred to the commission's next regular meeting on Oct. 27, 2025.

DRH25-00212 (630 East Crawl Street) was deferred at the applicant's request; Commissioner Moore moved to defer and Commissioner Otter seconded; the motion carried.

No appeals or formal challenges were filed during the meeting; appeals of administrative decisions are available to City Council if filed within 10 days as the commission's staff explained at the start of the hearing.","At the Boise City Historic Preservation Commission meeting the commission approved minutes, approved the consent agenda (including DRH25-00272), approved DRH25-00261 at 809 East State Street, and deferred DRH25-00206 and DRH25-00212 to the October 27, 2025 meeting.","actionData","errors"]
