Commission approves two‑phase RV/boat storage conditional use with conditions
Loading...
Summary
Ada County commissioners approved a conditional use and master site plan for a two‑phase outdoor storage facility for RVs and boats on 32.78 acres, with landscaping, screening, separation and operational limits, including a five‑year conditional‑use term and spacing and lighting requirements.
The board approved application 202600027, a conditional use and master site plan for a two‑phase outdoor storage facility for recreational vehicles and boats to be located with access from 775 East Columbia Road. Staff (Doug Holton) said phase 1 would provide roughly 118 spaces on two acres, with phase 2 expanding capacity to about 332 additional spaces; the combined properties total about 32.78 acres within the Sink Terrace Subdivision.
Staff recommended conditions including a finalized landscape and screening plan prepared by a licensed landscape professional (18 trees at specified spacing and screening shrubs), a six‑foot vinyl screening fence on three sides, limitations on permanent structures within a 33‑foot strip of the eastern property line, a 22‑foot paved driveway tapering 30 feet into the site, and a prohibition on junkyards enforced by code compliance. Staff also recommended that the facility not exceed 10 acres in size and that a master site plan be resubmitted prior to phase 2 expansion.
The applicant, Troy Allen, testified he would comply with the listed conditions and that the operation would be cleaner than some existing agricultural uses on the properties. Commissioners moved to approve the application based on staff findings; the motion carried unanimously.
