Boise Planning Commission Holds Public Hearing on Historic District Overlay Removal
The Boise City Planning and Zoning Commission convened on October 7, 2025, for a public hearing to address various agenda items, including conditional use permits, rezones, and subdivision approvals. The meeting began with procedural announcements, emphasizing the importance of public testimony for potential appeals and the structure of the hearing process.

The commission first established a consent agenda, which included the approval of meeting minutes from September 8 and several items that did not face public opposition. These items included a two-year time extension for a conditional use permit at 13984 West Jasmine Lane, a rezone request for 2705 and 2709 North Cole Road, a conditional use permit for an off-premise sign at 3600 North Harbor Lane, and a preliminary and final plat for the Vancouver Subdivision at 3005 West Malad Street. All these items were placed on the consent agenda without objection and subsequently approved in a single motion.

Following the consent agenda, the commission addressed item number three, a request for a deferral regarding a rezone of approximately 36.83 acres from MX-3 to MX-2 at Gratz Drive and Auto Drive. The applicant requested a deferral to the November 3 meeting, which was approved unanimously by the commission.

The final item discussed was a zoning map amendment for Givens Real Estate, located at 1312-1334 East Lewis Street, which sought to remove a design overlay district from a small parcel in an R1C/HDO zone. The applicant was present, and the commission began deliberations on this matter.

Overall, the meeting proceeded smoothly, with all items on the consent agenda approved and a deferral granted for one item, setting the stage for further discussions in the upcoming meeting. The commission's structured approach ensured that all voices were heard while maintaining an efficient flow of proceedings.
