Commission recommends rezoning nearly 10 acres from limited commercial to industrial/manufacturing
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended that the mayor and council approve rezoning about 9.95 acres from limited commercial (LC) to industrial/manufacturing (I and M). Staff described the request as consistent with surrounding industrial development and the comprehensive plan; the public hearing produced no speakers.
The Idaho Falls Planning Commission recommended approval to the mayor and city council of a rezoning request to change roughly 9.95 acres from Limited Commercial (LC) to an industrial/manufacturing designation (I and M).
Applicant Jalen Burman of Eagle Rock Engineering told the commission the request is straightforward: the site abuts industrial zoning to the north and west and the comprehensive plan identifies the area for general urban and industrial uses. Staff said the property has been agricultural while the fringe of the city has redeveloped with industrial uses, and staff recommended the commission forward a favorable recommendation to the mayor and council.
No members of the public spoke during the hearing on this item. Commissioners discussed a small adjacent parcel that remains LC and staff said it is a remnant of prior plats and ownership; staff expects the property owner may seek rezoning as development proceeds but said it is not a regulatory problem now.
The commission voted to recommend approval to the mayor and council; roll call was recorded as Commissioner Scott (Aye); Commissioner Cantu (Aye); Commissioner Eiler (Aye); Commissioner Meehan (Aye). The motion passed.
