Summary
Council had ORD-11-26 (COA 25-13) read by number and title on first reading by unanimous consent; the ordinance proposes broad changes across Title 11 of the Boise City development code including EV parking rules, bike parking, ADU/tiny-home standards, and a definition change to allow a second kitchen.
Councilmember (S6) asked unanimous consent that ordinances on first reading be read by number and title only and filed for the second-reading calendar. The clerk read the ordinance notice aloud as presented: "ORD dash 11 dash 26 in ordinance, COA 25 dash 13, amending title 11 Boise City code development code, removing electric vehicle parking requirements, and modifying bike parking requirements in title 11 chapter 4 section 8, updating requirements for accessory dwelling units and tiny homes on wheels in title 11 chapter 3 section 3, modifying incentives in title 11 chapter 4 section 3, modifying the definition of dwelling in title 11 chapter 6 section 3 to allow a second kitchen, modifying the airport influence area and wildland urban interface overlays in title 11 chapter 7 section 2, modifying the application of streetscape standards in title 11 chapter 2... and providing an effective date."
The reading was taken as the ordinance's first reading and, by unanimous consent, was filed for the second-reading calendar. The transcript records the clerk reading the ordinance title and summary; no debate or vote on the ordinance's substance occurred in this meeting.
The ordinance number and the listed code sections indicate a comprehensive package of zoning and development-code edits. Because the item was handled as a first reading and placed on the second-reading calendar, the council did not take a final vote during this session; subsequent meetings will address the ordinance's merits and any amendments.
