Commission backs zoning text amendment to clarify change-of-occupancy inspections
Summary
The Kuna Climate and Zoning Commission recommended approval of a zoning code amendment to Title 5 that adds a definition and clarifies inspection requirements for changes of occupancy, citing increased redevelopment and reuse in the city.
The Kuna Climate and Zoning Commission on Feb. 11 recommended approval of a zoning text amendment to clarify the city code’s requirements for a change of occupancy.
Doug Hansen, Kuna Planning and Zoning director, told commissioners the amendment adds a definition and expands the code’s language to spell out inspection requirements. "We wanted to make sure that we're we're spelling it out for people," Hansen said, explaining the change responds to an increase in redevelopment and reuse of existing buildings in Kuna.
Commissioners asked no substantive questions during the staff presentation, and the commission opened and closed public testimony with no speakers. After brief discussion that commissioners called "straightforward," a motion to recommend approval passed without recorded opposition.
The amendment is to Title 5, Chapter 8, Part 12 of the Kuna City Code and is intended to confirm that inspections are required when a building changes occupancy. Hansen said the city historically had required changes of occupancy but had not provided a definition in code; the amendment adds that definition and elaborates procedure so applicants and staff have clearer guidance.
Action on the item was a recommendation to the city council; final adoption would require council action. The commission recorded no public testimony on the item.
