pay for the expensive testing quite as often. He appreciates the City Water Department and the great job
they are doing.

Public Hearings: – NONE
Items for Consideration:
A. Conditional Use Permit - 342 West 1st South, #704 – Requesting a Conditional Use Permit
to allow a short-term rental in the MDR1(Medium Density Residential 1 Zone , per the Rexburg
Development Code Ordinance No. 1115 - Andrew Cargal. The property is in the MDR1
(Medium Density Residential 1) zone.
Andrew Cargal presented on the property at 342 W 1st S #704 that he would like to use for short
term rentals. He has owned the property for five years. He feels he can monitor it more closely and
make more money by converting it to a short term rental. He submitted a management plan as
requested by Planning and Zoning. There will be two spaces for parking that he will permit and
monitor. He feels confident that the people using it will be good and polite.
Council Member Busby asked about the staff review of the parking. Staff indicated that there
needs to be one parking spot for each bedroom. Mr. Cargal recalls that even though that was an
original staff recommendation, the Planning & Zoning Committee approved to have an exception to
that and just have the two parking spaces as long as he is willing to permit those and watch over
them. That’s why he included that in his management plan. He intends to enforce the parking and
provide parking tags for each vehicle.
Council Member Busby asked about the building permit. Community Development Director
Christensen explained that any time there is a change of use or occupancy in a building they require
a permit and an inspection.
Council President Smith asked Director Christensen to go over the conditions that staff
recommended. Director Christensen indicated the conditions were that the Conditional Use Permit
goes with the owner so when they sell the townhome, the new owner would need to re-apply for a
CUP in order to use the property for short term rental.
Planning & Zoning Public Hearing from March 16, 2017.
Rory Kunz motioned to recommend approval to City Council for a Conditional Use Permit for 342 West 1st
South, #704, to allow a short-term rental in the MDR1(Medium Density Residential 1) Zone , per the Rexburg
Development Code Ordinance No. 1115 , with 2 proposed conditions:
1. There shall be a management plan that shall be approved by city staff.
2. The Conditional Use Permit shall expire upon transfer and selling of property.
Heidi Christensen seconded the motion.
8
The “Standards Applicable to Conditional Use Permits,” Section 6.12B of the Rexburg Development Code No.
1115, apply to all Conditional Use Permits.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that this use be granted if the applicant provides adequate parking. Currently staff
is requesting one parking space per bedroom for short term rentals. The proposed unit has three
bedrooms and only two parking spaces. The applicant requests that this requirement should not
apply to them as they would rent out the entire unit. Staff felt that the recommendation of one space
per bedroom should be adhered to. If the CUP is granted the new use will trigger a change of
occupancy and will require a building permit.
Council President Smith moved to approve the Conditional Use Permit at 342 West 1st South
#704 - to allow a short-term rental in the MDR1(Medium Density Residential 1 Zone , per the
Rexburg Development Code Ordinance No. 1115 with the two conditions recommended by the
Planning & Zoning Committee:
1. There shall be a management plan that shall be approved by city staff.
2. The Conditional Use Permit shall expire upon transfer and selling of property

B. Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments – City of Rexburg
Resolution 2017-04 Area 1 – South Yellowstone specified area – Neighborhood Commercial
/Mixed Use and Commercial TO Moderate-High Density Residential
9
Attorney Zollinger presented on the area at South Yellowstone to be amended. This is a city
sponsored request in order to do the whole area at once instead of one lot at a time. The north
piece on Trejo would stay commercial.
Council Member Busby raised concerns about traffic. Attorney Zollinger said the traffic study
that was done anticipated the higher density in that area. A road would eventually go through
the entire property. There would not be any additional railroad crossings.

and Moderate-High Density Residential TO Neighborhood Commercial/Mixed Use
Attorney Zollinger presented on the West Main area that has been referred to as an overlay
zone. Overlay zones are poorly received by legal departments because it creates zoning through
administration rather than through zoning. The request is to re-designate this area into Mixed
Use (MU). This allows the same activities but is managed through the zoning ordinance rather
than the overlay administration.

lot of uses that can go there. He pointed out that there could be a used car lot next to a bed and
breakfast.

Use Permit before so the task force went through the conditional use items and decided which
ones needed to stay as conditional use and which ones could be put over into permitted use.
13
These are uses that they didn’t feel needed a public hearing. He indicated that someone could
have a used car lot next to a bed and breakfast.

theaters. Attorney Zollinger said yes, the City does have restrictions on where such an
establishment can be located. It is very limited in the City of Rexburg where you can put
sexually oriented businesses.
