Nampa council approves downtown zoning rewrite and removes size cap for Nampa Gateway (Sugar District)
Summary
Council approved a package of zoning actions—text and map amendments to create Central Nampa (CN) and other form districts—and a modification to the Nampa Gateway (Sugar District) development agreement that removes a 750,000 sq. ft. building cap on multiple parcels.
The Nampa City Council approved several land-use actions on Jan. 5 that together reshape downtown zoning and modify a major development agreement for the Nampa Gateway Center (also referenced as the Sugar District).
City staff presented a zoning text amendment (item 9‑2) to add CN (Central Nampa) form districts and revise multiple chapters of Title 10 to accommodate new form-based districts. The council approved the text amendment on first reading under suspension of rules by roll call (5–1).
The council then approved a package of zoning map changes (item 9‑3) to reclassify areas from Downtown Historic, Downtown Village and Downtown Business into the newly defined districts (CN, GB1 and GB2). That motion passed by roll call with all members voting in favor.
Separately, the council approved a first-reading modification to the development agreement for the Nampa Gateway Center (item 9‑4). The modification revises the concept plan and eliminates the previous 750,000 square-foot cap on building area for a set of identified parcels and updates ordinance 4661; the motion carried on roll call.
Finally, the council approved a zoning map amendment and development-agreement modification for Sunny Acre Partners (item 9‑5) covering roughly 3.455 acres (parcels and legal descriptions given in the agenda). That item passed under suspension of rules with one abstention recorded.
Council members recorded roll-call votes for each action; no financial appropriations were reported on the floor during these motions. The package is intended to align the city’s zoning map and code with its updated comprehensive plan definition for downtown and to allow revised development capacity at the Nampa Gateway/Sugar District.
