REXBURG
Americo Family Community
1. February 26, 2019, an application was received for rezoning city -owned, county -owned, and school -district -
owned properties. This was the initial action, but it was soon discovered a Comprehensive Plan Map
change (#19-00096) would be needed first and the rezone would be secondary.
2. March 12, 2019, a notice with a map for the rezone was sent to the local newspaper to be published on
March 19' and April tad, 2019. The map identified an interactive, colored map for the public to view at
http://www.texburg.org/pages/public-notificadon-and-agendas.
3. A xIl 4d , 2019, a hearing is held before the Planning & Zoning Commission.
6:35 P.M. - (#19 00093) to rezone various Government owned properties to Public Facilities (PF) in
the City of Rexburg, Madison County, Idaho as per requirements in the Rexburg Development Code.
(action)
Chairman Rory Kunz opened the public input portion of the hearing at 6:35 p.m.
Favor:
Applicant Presenter: Stephen Zollinger — He identified the parcels on the property being city -owned,
county -owned and school district -owned. There are a couple of properties identified today that have been
missed due to the properties that have been newly purchased. These properties cannot be added at this late
date.
The properties represent parks, airport, golf course, the hospital, the new quad softball complex,
and schools. The point in rezoning these properties is to track the specifics of government function. The
complication has been that the city has to come back to the Commission to put a swing -set in a park
because it is taller than what is allowed in the zone. The High School is an example of a school that had to
go through a height variation, because the stadium was taller than the Transitional Agriculture zone in which
it was designated. The staff felt it would be better accomplishing the goals of the city by designating all
public facilities as Public Facilities zoing.
Chairman Rory Kunz asked the Commissioners if they have any clarification questions for the applicant.
None.
Neutral: None
Opposed: None
Written Input: None
Rebuttal: None
Chairman Rory Kunz asked if anyone else would like to speak?
hearing at 6:39 p.m.
He closed the public input portion of the
Commissioner Vince Haley suggested the discussion was made two weeks ago during the hearing for the
changes to the Comprehensive Plan Map layer. He supports this proposal. Commissioner Melanie
Davenport asked for a summary. Chairman Rory Kunz summarized for her. This allows staff to make
changes as needed in the governmental properties. Attorney Stephen Zollinger explained the University
zone is an example of a process for determining functions that were co._ -hon to University campuses and
put them all in the language of the zone. A lot of hearing were being held with a common theme, they
wanted to build another building exactly like the one that had been approved two weeks ago. This is the
same process but for government functions. If Keith needs to put a lift station somewhere on an existing
government property, he would not need to come back to this group. Commissioner Vince Haley asked
when the group will be approached for further consideration. Attorney Stephen Zollinger replied all new
government purchased properties will have to come before the Commission, but all previously -owned
properties will be regulated by city staff.
MOTION: Recommend the City Council approve the zone change on the noted properties for
reasons for making these parcels consistent with practices identified in the Development Code.,
Action: Approve, Moved by Dartik Farmer, Seconded by John Bowen.
VOTE: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote (summary: Yes = 10).
Yes: Bruce Sutherland, Darrik Farmer, Greg Blacker, John Bowen, Kristi Anderson, Rory Kunz,
Steve Oakey, Todd Marx, Vince Haley, Melanie Davenport.
