Votes at a glance: Nampa Planning & Zoning Commission forwards six annexations/rezones to City Council
Summary
At its Jan. 14 meeting the Nampa Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of six annexations and zoning changes — including residential rezones, a duplex conditional-use request, and commercial and light-industrial requests — forwarding each to City Council with staff conditions.
The Nampa Planning and Zoning Commission on Jan. 14 recommended that City Council approve six separate annexations and zoning actions, forwarding each application with the findings and conditions presented in staff reports.
The commission approved the recommendations by voice vote; items will now be heard by City Council. The actions included residential annexations and rezonings to RS8.5, RS6, a conditional-use permit for a duplex, a commercial (BC) annexation for a Jacksons fuel/convenience site, and a light-industrial (IL) annexation. The motions and outcomes are listed below.
Votes at a glance
- 3106 South Stanford Street — Annexation and zoning to RS 8.5 (single-family residential) for a 0.29-acre parcel (Carol J. Graviot Trust): Motion to recommend approval carried. (Motion by Commissioner Garner; second by Commissioner Kirkman.) Staff noted the applicant already has temporary water connection and that right-of-way dedication on Dooley Lane is required prior to annexation.
- 7694 Birch Lane — Annexation and zoning to RS 6, potential development agreement and conditional-use permit for a duplex on a 0.97-acre parcel (Robert and Margaret Bazzulli): Motion to recommend approval carried. (Motion by Commissioner Miller; second by Commissioner Daffer.) Staff said the property contains an unpermitted conversion of a shop to a duplex and that the owners must secure building permits, demonstrate parking and address code compliance and health-district requirements; staff expects Southwest District Health will require connection to city sewer and water when lots are split.
- 0 Ustick Road — Annexation and zoning to BC (Community Business) for a 15-acre parcel to accommodate a Jacksons fuel station and convenience store (Jackson Food Stores; represented by Connor Lindstrom): Motion to recommend approval carried with the development-agreement condition that the applicant agree to a 10-foot east-side setback/landscape buffer and the other staff and engineering conditions. (Motion by Commissioner Morgan; second by Commissioner Kehoe.) The staff record lists required right-of-way dedication on Franklin and Ustick, frontage improvements and a likely traffic impact study at building permit.
- 0 / 507 South Grays Lane — Annexation and zoning to RS 6 for a 0.70-acre parcel and rezone from RS 18 to RS 6 for a 0.52-acre parcel (Steven and Josie Vreeland): Motion to recommend approval carried. (Motion by Commissioner Daffer; second by Commissioner Morgan.) Staff said the rezones align lot zoning to the surrounding RS 6 subdivision pattern and that right-of-way dedication and standard engineering conditions apply.
- 11281 Moss Lane — Annexation and zoning to RS 6 for 7.0 acres (Lyle and Sherry Johnson; represented by Craig Kolchak): Motion to recommend approval carried. (Motion by Commissioner Morgan; second by Commissioner Daffer.) The action is for annexation to obtain city services; engineering required right-of-way dedications and frontage improvements at time of development.
- 0 Landon Lane — Annexation and zoning to IL (Light Industrial) for a 1.01-acre parcel to allow a future metal flex building (Victor Onofrichek; represented by Steele National): Motion to recommend approval carried. (Motion by Commissioner Morgan; second by Commissioner Daffer.) Staff noted the requested IL zoning is consistent with surrounding industrial uses and that exterior storage must be screened if allowed.
What commissioners and staff emphasized
Staff repeatedly noted that many conditions — frontage improvements, right-of-way dedication, traffic mitigation, design review, building permits and any health-district requirements — are typically resolved at the engineering, design-review or building-permit stage. For projects that will store hazardous materials (notably the planned Jacksons fueling facility), staff and the applicant cited Idaho DEQ and city engineering rules governing underground storage tanks and pollution controls.
Next steps
Each recommendation will be forwarded to Nampa City Council for ordinance readings and final action. If council approves any annexation and zoning ordinances, subsequent design-review, permitting, and required engineering work will determine the projects’ detailed layouts and mitigation measures.
