The Historic Preservation Commission of Boise convened on September 30, 2025, to discuss a proposed project that has garnered attention due to its location near the Roosevelt Market and Roosevelt Elementary School. The meeting began with a public hearing, during which the applicant presented their project and expressed gratitude for the commission's time and feedback.

Following the applicant's presentation, the commission opened the floor for questions. No members of the audience or neighborhood association representatives chose to testify, leading to a brief rebuttal period where the applicant reiterated their appreciation for the commission's efforts and expressed eagerness to move forward with the project.

Commissioner comments highlighted a positive reception to the project, with one member noting the detailed planning and its potential to enhance the neighborhood. However, concerns were raised regarding the construction phase's impact on local traffic, particularly given the proximity to Roosevelt Elementary School. Commissioner Bonta specifically inquired about the project's effects on the alley used by children and families in the area.

In response, the applicant acknowledged the high-density context of the project and assured the commission that they would consider the traffic implications during construction. This dialogue underscored the commission's commitment to ensuring that new developments align with community needs and safety.

The meeting concluded with the commission's overall support for the project, emphasizing the importance of addressing community concerns as the project progresses. Further discussions and follow-up actions are anticipated as the commission continues to evaluate the project's impact on the neighborhood.
