Roberts holds public hearing on zoning amendments to require sidewalks, change mobile-home park rules
Summary
The Roberts City Council held a Feb. 10, 2026, public hearing on Ordinance No. 2026-573, proposing required sidewalks and other public improvements for new development and changes to mobile-home park size and relocation limits; no public testimony was offered.
The Roberts City Council held a public hearing on Feb. 10, 2026, to consider proposed amendments to the city's Planning and Zoning Manual under Ordinance No. 2026-573. Mayor Robert “BJ” Berlin opened the hearing at 6:50 p.m., read the notice aloud and cited Idaho Code 67-6509 as the statute governing the proceeding.
The ordinance would add a new subsection titled “Public Improvements and Site Infrastructure Requirements.” Under the proposal, sidewalks and curbs and gutters would be required in all zoning districts. Additional infrastructure — including storm drainage, street lighting and fire hydrants — would be required in higher-density residential and nonresidential districts (listed in the notice as R-3, R-4, C-1 and I-1). The amendment text, as read at the hearing, allows the City Council to approve modifications to those requirements based on lot configuration, topography or other practical constraints.
The proposal also revises standards for mobile-home parks. The notice states the minimum park lot area would increase from five acres to 15 acres, and a 20-acre maximum would be established. The amendments, as described at the hearing, would add age and relocation restrictions for manufactured and mobile homes, including limits on the age of units permitted to be moved into the city and restrictions on the relocation of older units within city limits.
Mayor Berlin opened the floor for public testimony — including general, opposition, neutral and favorable comments — and the record shows that no members of the public spoke during any of those periods. The hearing record notes that copies of the proposed ordinance are available for public inspection at the office of the city clerk during regular business hours.
No vote or final action on Ordinance No. 2026-573 was recorded in the hearing transcript. Mayor Berlin closed the hearing at 6:59 p.m.
Authorities cited at the hearing included Ordinance No. 2026-573 (proposed) and Idaho Code 67-6509. The city clerk's office holds copies of the proposed ordinance for public review.
