The University District is established to provide areas for the location and establishment of educational facilities
which operate as institutions of higher learning and which utilize relatively large areas of land, while protecting
adjacent land uses from nuisance and otherwise incompatible land use. The University campus is unique in its
nature as to those who visit, work and attend the University. The UD zone is intended for only land that is owned by
Brigham Young University- Idaho.
a. Change of owner.
If any land is sold, gifted, or transferred to another financially unrelated party,
Rezone.
1. A new zoning category must immediately be sought.
Moratorium.
2. Immediately, there will be a moratorium based on approval of new land uses and
building permits on the property until a new zoning district can be established.
b. Streets.
The campus as a whole is served by all public streets adjacent to and running through the campus
as well as private roads and streets owned and maintained by the University.
c. Parking.
Parking on the campus should be located in a manner which will serve the needs of invitees to
the campus. All buildings, playing fields and other structures on the campus should be deemed served by
all parking lots on campus, wherever situated.
