Commission approves Greenhearst Cottages preliminary plat for 43 cottage‑style lots
Summary
The commission granted preliminary plat approval for Greenhearst Cottages — a 43‑lot cottage‑style subdivision on about 3.04 acres in RMH zoning — finding the proposal conforms to the earlier annexation, PUD and development agreement; staff conditions handle landscaping, irrigation and street naming.
The commission approved the subdivision preliminary plat for Greenhearst Cottages on Jan. 13. The proposal, previously entitled through annexation and a PUD in December 2023, would deliver 43 cottage‑style detached homes on roughly 3.04 acres in the RMH zoning district, with lot sizes and a central courtyard designed to meet the earlier PUD parameters.
Staff’s analysis confirmed that the project meets the code provisions in effect at the time of approval (2023), provides required open space (the plaza/courtyard exceeds the 500 square feet per unit requirement) and supplies the required parking (108 stalls required and provided). Engineering, fire and forestry comments were noted as standard conditions: drainage and utility comments from engineering, fire hydrant and access per the International Fire Code, and some tree species adjustments per City Forester. GIS requested street‑name corrections before final plat filing.
No public opposition was registered at the hearing. Commissioners complimented the design and noted the project will provide attainable housing types for Nampa. The motion to approve the preliminary plat and adopt the staff findings passed.
