Members of the Rexburg Planning & Zoning Commission:
Brigham Young University-Idaho recently received notice of the request to amend the
Comprehensive Plan to change block 4 of the Parker Addition (Cornell Ave.) to High Density
Residential (#18 00350).
We see this amendment to the Comprehensive Plan as good planning on behalf of the City of
Rexburg. This change will help answer the need for High Density Residential surrounding
campus and will reduce development in the outlying areas. This amendment will allow students
and the public easier pedestrian access to the BYU-Idaho campus and will reduce the risks
involved with extended student travel to campus.
BYU-Idaho is very supportive of this amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
