Ada County approves 2-year time extension for Southwest Boise fourplex project
Summary
The board granted a two-year extension for project 202200185 (MSPTE Matrix Construction) covering a 16-unit multifamily master site plan in the Southwest Boise area; staff recommended approval and no written public comments were recorded.
Ada County planning staff recommended — and the board approved — a two-year time extension for a master site plan that would allow construction of four fourplex buildings (16 apartments) at 5971 South Cloverdale Road near Lake Hazel and Cloverdale Roads in southwest Boise.
The project (202200185 MSPTE) is a board-level master site-plan time extension request. Planning staff said the applicant asked for the extension because rising construction costs and higher interest rates have delayed the start of work; the applicant indicated a desire to start construction in 2026. Staff said the application met Ada County Code requirements and recommended approval; no written public comments were received.
Landowner Brian Wilson, who told the board he owns the property and that utilities are available, testified in favor of granting the extension. "I hope so. I hope that things straighten out a little bit and we can get some prices that are, you know, it's getting so expensive that development costs have just keep skyrocketing," Wilson said.
The board voted to grant a two-year extension that would make the master site plan valid through Aug. 10, 2027, if recorded as authorized. The motion was made and seconded at the hearing; the board indicated approval by voice vote.
