Commission backs zoning ordinance changes including multi‑family in C‑1 and revised setback rules

May 20, 2026

The commission voted May 20 to forward AM26-0001—amendments to Chapter 112—to the County Commissioners. The package adds multi‑family to C‑1 (conditional/permitted rules clarified), updates setback and density requirements, requires lots within 300 feet of city sewer/water to connect, and adds uses such as food trucks and private landfills with standards.

The full story

The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended forwarding AM26-0001—proposed amendments to Chapter 112 (Zoning)—to the Board of County Commissioners on May 20, 2026, with edits discussed at the hearing. The amendments would add multi‑family uses to C‑1 (with conditional‑use restrictions), allow signs in all zones, permit manufactured home parks in C‑2, add food trucks in R‑1, and specify private landfill allowances in industrial zones with standards derived from Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) language.
