Danso LLC seeks REC-1 rezone for parcel south of Traveler's Oasis
Summary
Danso LLC requested a rezone from A-2 to REC-1 to enable future development including a potential RV park and golf course; county staff recommended outreach to Idaho Fish and Game, which suggested a 100-foot setback from the canyon edge. Commissioner Howell recused from the discussion.
David Thibault, representing Danso LLC, asked the Jerome County Board of Commissioners to rezone a parcel just south of Traveler's Oasis from A-2 (agricultural) to REC-1 (recreation) to allow future land development, including a potential RV park and a golf course.
Deputy clerk Ryan Christensen noted the parcel's surroundings make REC-1 compatible with nearby commercial uses and said staff suggested the applicants consult state agencies. Christensen said Idaho Fish and Game recommended a 100-foot setback from the canyon edge. Commissioner Charles Howell recused from the matter because he previously met about the project and had a conflict.
The request was presented as a zoning-map amendment only; no formal rezoning ordinance or final vote occurred at the March 9 meeting. Commissioners asked for additional review and confirmation of setbacks and environmental constraints before any final action.
