1
6:00 pm – Joint Work meeting with Planning and Zoning/ City Council
In Attendance:
Mayor Richard Woodland; City Council Members: Rex Erickson, Donna Benfield, Bruce Sutherland
P&Z Commissioners: Marilyn Rasmussen, Winston Dyer, Cory Sorensen, Jedd Walker
Community Development Director Val Christensen led the discussion. The purpose of this meeting
is to identify from a community perspective the best possible locations to have more multi-family
housing as the City grows. Rexburg needs to be prepared.
GIS Director Craig Rindlisbacher provided copies of maps showing current multi-family housing in
Rexburg.
Those in attendance discussed where additional multi-family housing should be located, marking the
maps with what they felt to be the best areas for this growth.
Some of the points considered were: transportation routes and how they would be affected;
infrastructure costs; location to single family neighborhoods and the buffering that would be required;
possible clustering of such housing or having it be located throughout the community; and access to
services, employment, and the University.
Val Christensen will create a map from the input of this meeting showing possible future growth
options for multi-family housing locations. This map will be presented to Planning & Zoning and the
City Council for further discussion.
