Boise City historic panel moves three items to consent agenda, approves April minutes
Summary
The Boise City Historic Preservation Commission placed revised findings for 1703 E. Warm Springs Ave. and two accessory dwelling unit applications on the consent agenda and approved commission minutes from April 28, 2025 after applicants agreed with staff recommendations and no public opposition was recorded.
The Boise City Historic Preservation Commission on Tuesday placed three items on the consent agenda — revised findings for 1703 East Warm Springs Avenue (ADRH25-00019) and two accessory dwelling unit applications, DRH25-00032 (1610 North 20 Fourth Street) and DRH25-00105 (1601 North Fifth Street) — and approved the commission workshop and meeting minutes from April 28, 2025.
The actions came during a public hearing in which planning staff recommended that all three items be placed on the consent agenda and said the items were not subject to public hearing unless a commissioner requested discussion or a member of the public opposed. "We utilize a consent agenda. This means that if the applicant agrees with the staff report and if there is no public opposition, the item will be placed on the consent agenda," the chair said during the meeting.
Planning staff confirmed both accessory dwelling unit applicants were present and agreed to the terms and conditions in the staff reports. Commissioners asked whether anyone was present to testify in opposition; the commission recorded no opposition. One person who had signed up to speak was identified as "Nick," but the transcript shows no opposition testimony was given.
Commissioner Malloy moved to approve the preservation workshop minutes and the commission minutes from April 28, 2025; Commissioner Owens seconded the motion. The clerk called the roll; the record shows Montoto, Epstein, Malloy, Parks, Owens, Sales and Moore all voted "aye," and the motion carried.
Later, a motion was offered to add the revised findings (ADRH25-00019) and the two DRH items (DRH25-00032 and DRH25-00105) to the consent agenda. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Moore. The clerk again called the roll; Montoto, Malloy, Parks, Owens, Sales and Moore voted "aye" and the motion carried.
The chair reminded attendees that any decision made that evening may be appealed to the City Council if an appeal is filed within 10 days of the hearing and that speakers must have provided written or oral testimony at the meeting in order to appeal. The chair closed the meeting and called it adjourned.
No substantive debate on the merits of the three items is recorded in the transcript; the record shows the commission acted to move the items to the consent agenda after staff recommendation and without recorded public opposition.
