Summary

The Kootenai County Community Development board unanimously approved Conditional Use Permit CUP 25-009 to establish portable classrooms at Canyon Elementary after a short presentation and brief comments about the school district’s duty to provide seats.

The Kootenai County Community Development board approved Conditional Use Permit CUP 25-009 to allow portable classrooms at Canyon Elementary.

Justice McGeorge, a planner with Community Development, told commissioners they had been provided an executive summary of the permit and offered to present details; the board declined the full presentation, saying they had sufficient materials in the packet. After a brief exchange about school-district obligations to provide seats, Commissioner Eberlein moved to approve the permit; the motion was seconded and carried on a unanimous vote of the three commissioners present.

The action was procedural: staff previously prepared an executive summary and packet materials for the board’s review. No amendments or conditions were recorded during the meeting. The board’s approval moves the permit forward in accordance with the county’s standard land-use process, with any required follow-up handled by Community Development staff.

The board adjourned the CUP item and proceeded to other business.
