Ammon council unanimously adopts Ordinance 744 to rezone Clark property

The Ammon City Council unanimously approved a package of measures on Jan. 15 that will rezone the Clark property and amend the city’s future land‑use map.

The council first approved the Clark Property Rezone Findings of Fact on a motion by Council President Scott Wessel, seconded by Council Member Nolan Wheeler; the roll‑call vote recorded all council members present as voting yes. Council then approved Resolution 2026‑001, a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map amendment, on a motion by Council Member Jeff Fullmer and seconded by Council Member Sid Hamberlin. Finally, the council waived the three‑reading rule and adopted Ordinance 744 (Clark Property Rezone) after Wheeler moved and Wessel seconded the ordinance adoption; that vote was unanimous.

Why it matters: the findings, map amendment and ordinance together change the formal land‑use designation and municipal zoning for the Clark property, clearing a regulatory barrier to development under the new zoning classification. Council Member Kris Oswald had earlier flagged the council’s broader concern about balancing Ammon’s inventory of residential units with additional commercial land uses.

Procedural details: the record shows the motions and roll‑call tallies in council minutes; the package was moved and seconded as noted and passed by unanimous roll‑call vote. The minutes do not specify the ordinance’s effective date or proposed development plan; the council approved the legal steps to change zoning and the future land‑use map.

Next steps: the council did not record specific follow‑up actions in the minutes beyond adoption; any implementation, site‑specific permits or development proposals would proceed under the newly adopted zoning and applicable city processes.
