Commission approves special use permit for three-cabin rental community with 1,000 sq ft size cap
Summary
Gooding County Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved a special use permit for a three-cabin residential/rental community (Section 22, T7S R13E) with the condition that no dwelling exceed 1,000 square feet; staff report and written support were entered into the record.
The Gooding County Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously on Feb. 17, 2026 to grant a special use permit to Dakota Gullickson (Rocky Mountain Companies representative) to develop a small-scale cabin community of three detached residential cabins in Section 22, Township 7S, Range 13E (zoned Transitional 2). The motion to approve was made by Commissioner Johnscott Cutler and seconded by Commissioner Kathleen Goicoechea; the vote was 4–0.
Cynthia Scott, the Planning & Zoning Administrator, presented the staff report and read agency comment letters into the record. The transcript notes written testimony in support from Jim Achabal; no written opposition was filed. The record also reflects uncommitted oral testimony from Christine Davis and Nathan Ford but does not record the content of those remarks.
The permit was approved with one explicit condition: "No dwelling on the property shall be larger than 1000 square feet." That condition was part of the motion and was unanimously adopted. The commission also found Idaho regulatory takings not applicable in this case.
Next steps: the permit will be granted subject to the size restriction and the Planning & Zoning office will document the condition in the permit file; no implementation timeline was specified in the transcript.
