The Design Review Committee is composed of a P&Z Commissioner (Bruce Sutherland), a City Council member (Brad
Wolfe) or the Mayor, and a professional from the community (Jedd Walker). Several other individuals serve on the
committee as necessary. The Committee may meet if there is a development issue that is non-conforming or differs
from the Design Standards requirements that are stated in the City of Rexburg Development Code Ordinance No. 1115.
The purpose of the Design Review Committee meeting is often to reach an amicable compromise for the applicant and
the community.
The subject property is RPRARBP0010010 and is zoned Community Business Center.
The reason for holding this Design Review Committee meeting is as follows:
From Development Code Ordinance No. 1115, Supplementary Regulations, Commercial Design Standards less than
25,000 square feet, Section 4.13b.iv.f:
iv. Design Standards
f. Parking Lot Orientation/Visual Mitigation
INTENT: Parking areas should provide safe, convenient, and efficient access for vehicles and pedestrians. They should
be distributed around large buildings in order to shorten the distance to other buildings and public sidewalks and to
reduce the overall scale of the paved surface. If buildings are located closer to streets, the scale of the complex is reduced,
pedestrian traffic is encouraged, and architectural details take on added importance.
STANDARD: No more than sixty (60%) of the off-street parking area for the entire property shall be located
between the front façade within the front yard of the principal building(s) and/or parking lots are screened from view by
out-lot development (such as restaurants) and additional tree/bush plantings and/or berms.
INTENT: Parking areas should be visually buffered from the adjoin streets. Minimize the visual impact of off street
parking.
STANDARD: Fences, hedges, berms and landscaping shall be used to screen parking areas. When large parking
lots are necessary, increase the landscaping to screen the lot and divide the lot into smaller components. Significant
landscape islands must be provided in the interior of large lots (over fifty (50) parking spaces). These may double as
snow storage areas in the winter months.
Roof lines, Materials and Colors, and Entryways may also apply.
Approval of what is planned can come from this Design Review Committee.
