Planning staff reports first‑quarter density and several development approvals sent to City Council
Summary
City of Nampa planning staff reported first‑quarter subdivision and density activity, including preliminary and final plats showing a larger number of single‑family homes than multifamily units, and the commission approved a consent agenda of several plats, utility vacations and a landscaping variance forwarded to City Council.
City of Nampa planning staff presented a first‑quarter density report and a set of consent agenda items to the Planning and Zoning Commission, highlighting where new development is occurring around the city and reporting several items that were approved and forwarded to City Council.
Planning and Zoning Director Ashby reviewed five items that were reported to City Council: Cherry Grove Number 5 preliminary/final subdivision (79 single‑family detached units by KB Homes at the northeast corner of Elm Lane and Prescott Lane), a vacation of unused city utilities at 383 and 395 Caldwell Boulevard (approved by City Council), a variance to landscaping and a drive‑through landscape buffer at 95 Second Street (approved by City Council), another vacation of unused public utilities at 11110 West Karcher Road and Haley Avenue (approved), and a zoning map amendment (IP to BC) for property at 1405 West Industrial Road for storage of manufactured homes (continued by City Council to 05/19 after the applicant did not appear).
Ashby shared a density slide showing recent preliminary plats and final plats by location: more activity to the north and south of the city, relatively few final plats on the West and none on the East side. Staff reported adding 394 multifamily units and 1,655 single‑family units over the period covered; in final plats, staff noted 497 multifamily units and 916 single‑family units. Ashby and commissioners discussed public perception that multifamily appears more visible because mid‑rise buildings are located on main roads, while much single‑family development occurs on the outskirts.
The commission approved and adopted the consent agenda by voice vote.
