Kuna council waives readings, adopts irrigation‑system expansion and multi‑chapter zoning/code updates

The Kuna City Council approved two ordinances after motions to waive three readings and subsequent votes.

Ordinance 2025‑30A: Council approved Ordinance 2025‑30A to make findings and enlarge the boundaries of the Kuna municipal irrigation system by including assessors HHIFVI LLC, to declare water rights appurtenant to that property as pooled for delivery purposes, to direct the city clerk to record the ordinance and to require the city engineer to notify the New York Irrigation District and update the irrigation system map. Council moved to waive the three readings and then voted to approve the ordinance.

Ordinance 2025‑37: Council also voted to waive three readings and approve Ordinance 2025‑37, a comprehensive amendment to Title 5 of the Kuna City Code. The ordinance amends application requirements, review and fee provisions and multiple zoning‑ and plat‑related chapters — including zoning permits, design review application requirements, preliminary plat, final plat and lot split provisions — and contains a severability clause, direction to the city clerk for publication and an effective date. Council subsequently approved summary publication of the ordinance as described on the record.

Both ordinances passed by affirmative votes after the waivers of three readings; no council member recorded opposition on the roll calls taken during the meeting.

The meeting record did not spell out implementation timelines or budgetary impacts for the ordinance changes; those details will follow through staff processes identified in the ordinances and city code.
