Presentation:
1. Recognition of Service for P&Z Commissioner Richie Webb
Mayor Richard Woodland said it was his honor to present a plaque to Richie Webb in
recognition of his years of service to the City as a P&Z Commissioner. The Mayor always has been
impressed with Richie Webb’s great service. Mr. Webb is a developer, a thinker, and a doer. He has
always been a fair man. The Mayor thanked him for his dedication to the Commission and for the
time he has given.
Richie Webb thanked the Mayor. His six years on the P&Z Commission have been a great
experience. There has been a lot of growth and change in Rexburg during those years. It has been
exciting to see that growth happen. He has enjoyed trying to influence it in some way as part of the
Commission and to try and make Rexburg a better place. He commended his fellow
Commissioners and those who were before them for their time and dedication to the City. Tisha
Flora is going to replace him, and she will do well. It has been great. He thanked everyone.
Chairman Hanna thanked Richie Webb. The Commission appreciates and values Richie Webb’s
time and effort and thoughtful process of issues. He has made Rexburg a better place with his
dedicated service. Not only has he served on the Commission; he has invested with the Hemming
family in a lot of wonderful projects in the Rexburg community.

Public Hearings:
1. 7:05 pm –Rezone – 136 South 1st West- Medium Density Residential 1 (MDR1) to Hemming ?
Project Redevelopment Option ( Hemming PRO-Zone)
Chairman Hanna briefly explained the procedure that is followed for public hearing.
He asked if any of the Commissioners wished to declare a perceived or direct conflict of interest.
Richie Webb declared a direct conflict of interest. He recused himself and stepped down from the
dais. He is representing Hemming Properties and will present the proposal for this rezone request.
Richie Webb, 680 Wheatland Drive. He presented the proposal to the Commission to change the
zoning of 136 South 1st West from Medium Density Residential 1 (MDR1) to the Hemming
Redevelopment Option (Hemming PRO- Zone).
The Commission was provided with site plan copies and copies of a shared use agreement made with
the Hancocks who live just north of and adjacent to the subject property.
Mr. Webb presented a brief PowerPoint to update the Commission on where the Hemming Village is
and where they hope to go in the future. He pointed out the different areas of the established
Hemming PRO-Zone.
A significant part of the Hemming vision is to try and preserve some history. They have also added
some historical elements. Last summer, a statue of Mr. Webb’s grandparents was added to the
historical Hemming cabin site on 2nd West.
The Hemming retail building has been there for some time. The building now has a tenant in the
basement, the SSI Call Center, which will be opening next week. Bill’s Bike Shop will be coming to
the corner next to Jimmy John’s. Additional parking has been added behind The Pines and in the
former church parking lot.
The Willows complex is next to the subject property and has been there a couple of years. Hemming
Properties also own the homes to the south. It is their hope to over time develop that side of the
street. Hemming Properties has committed to the Commission and to the City Council to inform the
City of any new development within the Hemming PRO-Zone.
The subject property for this rezone request was purchased from Darrell Ard. Hemming Properties
did not own the property when the Hemming PRO-Zone originally was established, and that is why
it is being added now. When the home was purchased, they did not have a clear vision of what was
going to be done. There was some discussion about potentially taking the house down. They did not
feel the home was needed as part of Willows project. They also looked at renovating the home.
Students were in the home for a period of time.
It was thought that the home might be used for the Hemming management offices, but the decision
was made not to do this and to use the Atrium location on the second floor of the main Hemming
building for the offices.
The Ard House’s exterior has been worked on. There is some new brick and a new roof while still
trying to preserve some of the home’s history.
The subject property is zoned Medium Density Residential 1(MDR1). They are requesting a rezone
to the Hemming PRO-Zone. The intent is to move professional office into that space.
Some things they want to do with the site to make it work include taking down the shed in the back
in order to have ample room for parking. There would be a 31-foot clearance going in and out of this
area, and there would be 6 parking spots. In the discussion with the Hancocks, they suggested to
3
open up the space in back to connect to the Pines parking so that employees at the new business
could access the parking without going up and down the driveway, which is shared.
The Shared Use Agreement drawn up with the Hancocks, who live next door to the north, includes
addressing the shared driveway and the shared use of the garage. The intent is to widen the driveway
to 24-feet. The business would be an insurance company. It is hoped that with the exterior
renovation and landscaping, the property from the street will look much better and be very appealing.
One of the important issues for Hemming Properties is that they have sensitivity to the fact that the
Hancocks live right next door to the subject property They have had many conversations. The
Hancocks were kind enough to come to the Hemming office to discuss concerns. The Shared Use
Agreement was put together. It defines the relationship that the Hemmings and Hancocks have in
terms of who owns what, who accesses where, driveway, parking, shared garage, etc.

Hemming Properties would keep professional office (in general, not defined) as the use as long as the
Hancocks live in their home or immediate family members live there. If not there, then the PRO-
Zone intent would revert back. If the Hancocks chose to sell their home, the Hemming
Corporation would have the option or right to purchase the property.
Mr. Webb said they want to work together so that they have a good relationship that works well for
all parties.
Chairman Hanna asked if anyone in the audience had questions to help them to understand the
proposal. There were none.
There were no clarifying questions from the Commissioners.
Chairman Hanna opened the public input portion of the hearing.
In Favor: None
Neutral:
J.D. Hancock, 124 South 1st West. He referred to the following statement of the Hancocks’
concerns with the rezone request:
7
8
J.D. Hancock said they have maintained a residence here for 44 years. They have seen a lot of
change in Rexburg. They shared the driveway and the garage for over 40 years with Darrell Ard, and
there were never any problems or conflicts in that period of time.
The Hemmings have been wonderful neighbors. He has known the Hemming family for many
years.
Specifically, the Hancocks feel the Hemming plan is a good one.
The Hancocks are definitely opposed to having a ‘thru’ driveway from the west even for employee
parking. This is because college students always take the shortest route to get where they want to
go. Students use the shared driveway now to cut through. The Hancocks would request that a fence
between the properties be maintained, so that access to the new business parking be from 1st West.
A few weeks ago, a vehicle parked overnight in the driveway, which caused problems by blocking
the access for the Hancocks to get out.
The Hemmings have done a marvelous job with their development, but the total PRO-Zone uses
listed in the Hemming PRO-Zone Ordinance No. 1006, are almost limitless. There are some
professional uses that the Hancocks do not feel would be compatible. That is why they have
suggested some conditional uses to the Commission.
Opposed: None
Written Input: None
Rebuttal:
Richie Webb said he is absolutely fine with putting a fence at the southwest corner if that is the
Hancocks’ preference. They were hoping to prevent the back and forth of traffic out onto 1st West
as employees come and go.
He is a little concerned about limiting the professional office uses to the list that the Hancocks
suggested. There are a lot of professional services. He is a little hesitant to say he is okay with just
the 12 suggested uses. It is a little restrictive. He would be willing to re-look at the list.
Their intent is of professional offices generally.
Chairman Hanna closed the public input portion and asked for the staff evaluation and
recommendations.
Natalie Powell explained that Community Development Director Val Christensen is out of town at
a flood plain training conference.
She gave the staff review. The City Engineer did not express any concerns.
Staff’s concern is the same as was just voiced. If there is a shortcut, students would take it and come
out on to 1st West. Having many cars exit onto South 1st West from a parking lot is not an option.
Employees coming and going may create some extra traffic, but far less than cars from the housing
complex to the west. Staff is pleased that the parties are working together as neighbors.
Chairman Hanna wished to clarify that staff is in favor of closing off access from the west.
Natalie Powell said that was correct.
Chairman Hanna said there is the opportunity at this time for the Commission to discuss the issue
and to make a decision.
Steve Oakey said he can think of no better development in the City of Rexburg than the Hemming
Village. It has added value not only to the City, but it has been a wonderful example of how
developers can do things correctly and engage the neighbors. He commended the Hemmings and
9
the Hancocks for putting together the shared use agreement. It is a perfect example of how private
owners and developers can enter into a private contract to decide on a land usage that has a direct
bearing on their property. This contract should be taken into serious consideration for a couple
other comprehensive plan and zoning issues, and the booting and towing issues. This is a proper
way in which land development and private property ownership should be agreed upon. Richie
Webb gave a good presentation. Mr. Oakey is in favor of the rezone proposal.
Mark Rudd agreed. He likes that the parties got together and talked about concerns. His only
concern is the fence to close off the property on the south west and if that needs to be part of the
agreement.
The Chair said the issue could be conditioned in the motion.
The issue of the permitted uses list for the property was discussed.
Melanie Davenport said it is stated as professional uses.
Steve Oakey said the definition should be kept broad enough so that it allows for future use.
Cory Sorensen wondered if the words ‘low traffic professional office’ should be used.
Steve Oakey said the Hancocks and the Hemmings seem to have had a very fruitful previous
discussion on many of these issues, barring the fence. They might be able to decide on some proper
verbiage to address both their concerns.
Stephen Zollinger said South 1st West is eventually going to be realigned. The Engineering
Department is not comfortable with turning this street into a thoroughfare for a large parking lot.
The intention is that the shared use agreement would be recorded against the property as an
encumbrance.
The Chair suggested that the Commission could make reference to the shared use agreement in the
motion and also reference the closing off of the southwest corner of the property to prevent thru
access from the parking lot on the west.
Melanie Davenport motioned to recommend to City Council the approval of a zone change for
the property located at 136 South 1st West, to change the zoning from Medium Density Residential
1(MDR1) to Hemming Project Redevelopment Option (Hemming PRO-Zone), and to include two
conditions:
1. The Shared Use Agreement between the Hancocks and the Hemming Corporation shall be
maintained by both parties.
2. Vehicular access from the west shall be restricted.
Steve Oakey seconded the motion.
None opposed. Motion carried.
Richie Webb re-joined the Commission on the dais.
Unfinished/Old Business: None
10
Non-controversial Items Added to the Agenda:
1. Pedestrian Emphasis Zone (PEZ) concerns with Visitor Parking – Various Complex Owners
Ashley Boyd, 313 Oaktrail Drive, of Innovative Student Housing. They manage 4 properties: the
Gates, Mountain Lofts, Viking Village, and American Belle.
She read a statement.
11
12
They are here with the support of 12 other housing complexes in proposing an amendment to the
PEZ Ordinance No. 1021(projected on screen).
They are requesting a change in visitor parking requirements - to be lowered to 3 percent, or one
guest parking space per 30 residents.
Chairman Hanna clarified that basically it has been stated what the complexes would like the City
to do, which would be to amend the current ordinance.
Ashley Boyd said that was correct.
The Chair asked if she was aware of the process that must be gone through in order to change an
ordinance.
Ashley Boyd said she was not.
Steven Zollinger clarified that such a request could require a formal ordinance change.
He wanted to address that there are no PEZ approved apartments with anything other than the 10
percent visitor parking requirements as stated in the ordinance.
The PEZ offered a number of options. What it allowed for was that as the property was considered
in the area to be readily walkable, it allowed the developers to go away from the 1 to 1 ratio of
parking. Tenants could have ‘no-car’ contracts.
The trade-off was that there would be a higher visitor parking ratio in exchange for the lower
parking ratio. It was not an arbitrary determination. There were pre-comprehensive studies among
the students and the demographics.
It is not a readily changeable formula.
As long as predatory booting and towing exists, the number of visitor parking stalls would probably
go up because of the predatory booting and towing that is going on with the students who would
otherwise be parking in visitor parking stalls.
It is a tradeoff – if less visitor parking is wanted, the booting and towing of students that cannot find
visitor parking would need to stop.
Stephen Zollinger stated that a better approach might be to look at PEZ2. Parking lots are not
filled.
Ashley Boyd said they run out of space.
Mr. Zollinger said the City monitors the parking lots carefully. There has not been a time at
NorthGate where there were not at least 10 empty stalls at 4:00 am in the morning.
He said any suggestion that the City needs to amend the ordinance would be met with a substantial
inventory of facts. Changing the ordinance would be difficult.
The request is a complicated question but it is something that the Commission could consider.
Chairman Hanna said when PEZ1 and PEZ2 were developed, the City left the parking up to the
discretion of the developer to come in and ask for a conditional use permit to request less parking
than the required 10%. It was their decision on how to proceed.
Ashley Boyd said they are trying to figure the issue out as a whole. It is good to understand from
the City’s perspective.
13
Stephen Zollinger said that the Bountiful Apartments complex went with 1 to 1 parking and 3
percent visitor parking. They chose not to do the PEZ Ordinance option of less parking although
they are in the PEZ zone.
Chairman Hanna stated the City wanted to create incentive for developers to build and densify
that area. Developers were given a reduced parking option. It was the developer’s choice. Because
the location was closer to campus, it was assumed that the students would walk more.
Cory Sorensen said just because we created the PEZ Zone does not mean we were right. Visitor
parking space numbers that are required of some complexes may be similar to the amount of
parking at Broulim’s. He sees both sides but the city may not have seen enough history yet to
actually change the ordinance; perhaps the number could be tiered. The issue deserves discussion.
Steve Oakey said many apartment owners and developers for some reason do not consider their
apartment complexes to be businesses. They are. Businesses such as McDonald’s or Broulim’s or
Walmart have already thought out their traffic patterns.
It needs to be conveyed to the developers and owners that parking is their problem, to
accommodate their customers. The streets are the City’s problem. Street parking should never be an
option. The streets belong to the City.
Ashley Boyd said from her perspective as a manager, they do see their apartment complexes as
businesses and want to make the residents happy. The residents are their customers. She has a
hundred spots that her residents cannot park in because the spaces are designated for visitors.
Steve Oakey said it is an unfortunate decision that the developers made. It is not the City’s
problem; it is the property owner’s problem.
Stephen Zollinger agreed that it has to be recognized that these apartments are businesses. The
reason the ordinance was written was to protect the customers at least marginally from predatory
practices as complexes know the students have to live there because they have to live in housing
somewhere. Five years ago, more beds where needed. If left to the owners, there may have been
zero visitor parking, with constant towing and booting. The complexes are in the business of
providing housing to young people who are going to school. Young people attending school come
with visitors. So the balance was struck that the City would allow reduced parking, but the City
wanted to be sure that the customers’ interests were protected.
It may be that there are too many visitor parking spaces. This issue is certainly something that can be
discussed.
The Chair clarified this not a public hearing. It is just a discussion. Anyone may make a comment if
they wish to.
A man in the audience stated that at the Gates complexes, the towing and booting has been with
visitors who have parked overnight and are not in a reserved parking space. There is a system in
place at the Gates that a visitor can come to the office to get permission to park overnight.
Stephen Zollinger complimented them on the handling of this issue.
Cory Sorensen said that visitor parking could be monitored on a daily basis for a certain amount of
time to prove the usage.
14
Stephen Zollinger said such monitoring could be used as tangible evidence that certain standards
should be modified.
Chairman Hanna said the tangible evidence, some statistical analysis that would suggest that in
these cases 10% visitor parking is excessive, could be presented at a work meeting.
Cory Sorensen thought multiple complex owners need to get together to do studies.
Chairman Hanna reiterated that changing the ordinance would be difficult.
Ashley Boyd said her hope would be that the Commission would understand that those at
Innovative Student Housing are trying to make things better for their residents and do not want to
be predatory in any way.
The Chair said if they want to come back and have a discussion on amendment of the ordinance
they could do so, but trying to amend the ordinance would be a lengthy process.
The manager of Mountain Lofts, in the audience, said they do see the apartments as a business, but
their number one priority is to make a difference – everything is geared toward the residents. They
do not want this to be seen as somehow downplaying the residents’ needs. The first point is that
they stand by their customer service. Secondly, it is the nature of the new beast – the sheer size of
some of the complexes. It would be good to look at the numbers and see what is needed and how
the visitor parking is used.
Steve Oakey said he is in favor of simplifying the parking ordinance, but this issue cannot be the
City’s problem. Housing has to provide for its residents. There is a public domain and a private
domain.
Richie Webb said one of the reasons the City chose to have the PEZ zone, was understanding the
cost of land near the University and being able to make it work financially for developers. It is
customer service. Also, you have to make money, or why are you going to build. It is important for
the Commission and the City Council to really look at what is needed.
There is the idea of pulling together to look at what is happening. Information is needed. History is
a great teacher. Educate this body and the City Council.
Councilman Brad Wolfe said there is a booting and towing ordinance amendment proposal now
before the City Council. It could have a positive effect on what is being discussed. There will be a
public hearing on the issue soon.
Natalie Powell added that one of the good tools for management are the car contracts and selling
only the amount to fit the number of spaces that are available, and also the ‘no car contract’
addressing not bringing a car.
Ashley Boyd thanked the Commission and said the complexes would get together and try to do the
research and come up with some numbers.
Richie Webb and Cory Sorensen were excused.

New Business:
1. P&Z Commission Training
Tisha Flora joined the Commission on the dais for the training discussion. Her first meeting as a
new P&Z Commissioner will be the June19, 2014 meeting.
Stephen Zollinger conducted the training.
Chairman Hanna requested that Mr. Zollinger include a brief discussion on the Comprehensive
Plan and its purpose, and how the Commission should interpret the Comprehensive Plan with
respect to the zoning map.
Stephen Zollinger said he would be touching on the basics of what the City expects of the
Commissioners and what the City hopes they will be able to provide to the community as members
of the Planning & Zoning Commission.
The Commissioners all serve at the discretion of the Mayor and the City Council. The P&Z
Commission serves as a recommending body in almost all cases, but there are some exceptions.
Those exceptions include some conditional use permits listed in the Development Code that allow
the Commission to make the final decision at this level.
Local Land Use Planning – every city adopts a formal plan for their community.
Three of the P&Z Commission’s eleven members represent the Impact Area. They serve at the
discretion of the City Council, but they are appointed by the Madison County Commission.
If the location of the land use issue (rezone, CUP, etc.) is in the City of Rexburg Impact Area rather
that in the City, then the Commission would make their recommendation to the Madison County
Commission instead of to the City Council.
If the matter is in the Impact Area, the vote of the three P&Z Commissioners representing the
Impact Area is equal to the vote the other eight Commissioners.
Stephen Zollinger said that in the course of making recommendations, the P&Z Commissioners
serve in 2 different capacities:
1. Legislative – anything recommending change to policy. Commissioners are allowed to
interact with the public outside of the meeting with virtually no restrictions. You can talk to your
constituents, neighbors, or friends.
2. Quasijudicial - Property decision.
You are acting under the same rules and guidelines as a judge. Everything you use to make that
decision on an issue should have been produced during the hearing process. Specific facts that you
intend to rule on should have been provided to you during the hearing. You are the triers of facts.
When you are making property decisions that affect a defined number of individuals, you as
Commissioners can talk to each other but not to your neighbors. It is a difficult responsibility. Tell
them that you do not want to be in a situation where you can’t participate in the discussion when it
gets to the public hearing. Ask them to bring all their concerns and information to the public
hearing so everyone hears them.
If they do talk to you, and you feel that some element of information has been conveyed to you that
you did not want to know outside of the hearing, then you can fix this by disclosing this
conversation at the beginning of a hearing or before public testimony, saying that you need to
disclose that you talked with this individual. By making this disclosure you cure the defect.
If this conversation is not disclosed, then the decision is reversible. Usually there are fines associated
with such an issue.
16
Public hearings:
Mr. Zollinger said once in a public hearing process, the Commissioners are supposed to discuss the
request, not the hypotheticals or possibilities or worst case scenarios that are not relevant to the
hearing. As Commissioners, is not appropriate to act on anything that is not based on facts.
Tabling:
Mr. Zollinger advised the Commissioners not to table proposals, because the Commission is a
recommending body.
Table a matter only if additional information is needed to make a decision.
If the Commission feels the request is too broad, the Commission could send up a recommendation
to the City Council that reduces what is being asked for. The proper course is possibly to
recommend some portion of the request, or possibly recommend to deny.
One of the Commission’s responsibilities is to push things forward with the best recommendation
the Commission feels can be made. Look out for the general interests of the community. The goal is
to reach a common decision.
Steve Oakey asked for clarification on making recommendations. Regarding the 3rd West
Neighborhood Comprehensive Plan request at a past meeting, he asked where his motion to
recommend failed. His intent was to deny the motion and let the group bypass the City and exercise
private rights. (The Chair read the motion from the May 15, 2014 minutes; the motion died for lack
of a second).
Stephen Zollinger said Mr.Oakey’s recommendation was not responsive to what the neighborhood
was requesting. The Commission’s goal is to evaluate the facts that have been presented, and make a
recommendation based on those facts.
Melanie Davenport said at the meeting regarding the 3rd West request, there were a few people
present wanting to represent 80 acres. It was a huge piece of land. How does the Commission, in
the short time of the meeting, look at the proposal and make a determination with just the
information that was given to the Commission by a few people. She thought the best alternative was
to reduce the size of the request.
Dan Hanna stated that during deliberation, the Commissioners have the opportunity to express
their feelings or understandings or questions. Then they come up with the precise wording to make
a recommendation.
When a proposal is presented, the Commission has the option of approving it, denying it, or
approving with some modifications.
It was clarified that a rezone request can be made by the Commission to go down in zoning, but it
cannot go to a higher zone.
Stephen Zollinger said there are two layers of land maps used in regulating property decisions, the
Comprehensive Plan Map and the Zoning Map.
The Comprehensive Plan Map is an underlay, a foundational document that has to be complied
with, but it is not intended to define the final use of a particular property. It is a concept map.
The Zoning map has to fit under the Comprehensive Plan land use designation; if it does not, the
Comprehensive Plan land use designation needs to be changed first before a rezone can be
requested.
17
The Comprehensive Plan map gives someone the right to ask; it does not give an actual right. It
does not enable someone to do anything but ask. It carries no rights whatsoever other than being a
prerequisite to ask for a zone change. It does not change one’s ability to use their property.
Mr. Zollinger clarified that the Comprehensive Plan map is not an authorizing document; it is a
restricting document.
The Comprehensive Plan Map is a 20 year planning document, a concept or vision of where the city
might go over the course of the next 20 years.
Mark Rudd asked who made all the changes to the Comprehensive Plan map after the University
announcement in 2000.
Stephen Zollinger said this body participated in making the changes over the course of about six
months. Public hearings were held.
It was stated that the City’s Impact Area is going to be modified in the near future.
Commissioners may request through the Chairman or staff that discussion of an item be put on the
agenda.
Tisha Flora said she sees the Comprehensive Plan Map as the vision for the City unless something
major is changing that vision, like the BYU-Idaho announcement.
Stephen Zollinger said that could be, or it could be the passage of time, a change in circumstance,
technology changes, or if someone points out an inaccuracy that would need to be evaluated.
Public hearing principle concepts & practices
Stephen Zollinger said parliamentary procedure and Robert’s Rules of Order are to regulate unruly
and hostile environments. A far better process for this type of a board is one where everybody
acknowledges that there is a process and that ultimately the Chairman should be in charge of the
process, and to the best of his ability he never has to fall back on hard and fast Robert’s Rules.
When a hearing ends and the Commission is in deliberation, it is not appropriate to allow voluntary
input because the hearing is over.
Chairman Hanna said a question that would have a yes or no answer is sometimes allowed to be
asked by the Commission.
Brad Wolfe feels it is very helpful when the public hearing procedure is explained just before public
testimony is given.
Mr. Zollinger gave the Commissioners copies of the University of Michigan pamphlet entitled
“The Meeting Will Come to Order,” for their information on meeting procedure. They were also
provided with copies of Winston Dyer’s “Planning Principles and Values.”
Compliance issues
Stephen Zollinger said the Commissioners can help by being vigilant and aware.
If they see violations or have concerns, staff encourages the Commissioners to bring the
information to Natalie Powell so the City can address any issues.
18
Regarding meeting procedure, Natalie Powell stated that the Chairman conducts and controls the
meeting. Other Commissioners and participants should ask the Chairman for permission to speak.
Stephen Zollinger said he would present additional training as requested, at a future meeting.
Steve Oakey asked if Val Christensen would be reporting on the American Planning Association
Conference that he attended.
Natalie Powell said Mr. Christensen would present the information at a future meeting.
It was suggested by Chairman Hanna that if you are the Commissioner making the motion, write
down the motion.
