The Rexburg Development Code allows the Commission to make
recommendations to the City Council regarding whether or not the
property should or should not be rezoned based on the criteria found in
section §1.04.020.
II. SITE DESCRIPTION
1332 & 1350 Thompson is located just north of the Valley Ag
Fertilizer plant at 2003 S Yellowstone. The parcels are between US
Hwy 20 and S Yellowstone highway. The total area involved in this
Rezone request is approximately 4.83 acres.
III. ANALYSIS
If approved the request will result in changing the zone for the
parcels from Community Business Center (CBC) to Light Industrial
(LI). The request would require the Commission and City Council to
review the proposal against one set of criteria, for the request to
rezone. Below, staff has provided all the criteria listed by Ordinance
No. 1200 (Development Code) that are required to be addressed,
followed by staff’s analysis of each criterion.
Criteria Rezone Requests (§1.04.020):
a. Be in conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan designation is Industrial. This change will align with the
Comprehensive Plan Map.
b. The capacity of existing public streets, water and sewer facilities, storm drainage facilities, solid
waste collection and disposal, and other utilities.
Water and sewer facilities can service the parcel when needed. Storm drainage requirements can
be addressed on site.
c. The capacity of existing public services, including but not limited to, public safety services,
public emergency services, schools, and parks and recreational services.
N/A
d. The potential for nuisances or health and safety hazards that may adversely affect adjoining
properties.
N/A
e. Recent changes in land use on adjoining properties or in the neighborhood of the map revision.
2003 S Yellowstone, the Valley Ag Fertilizer plant was just rezoned to Light Industrial.
f. Meets the requirements of the Development Code.
These changes will bring the areas into conformance with their current and future uses.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests that Planning and Zoning recommend to City Council to approve the changes to the
properties from Community Business Center (CBC) to Light Industrial (LI) if the Commission finds that
the proposed request is compatible with the surrounding area or in the best interest of the neighborhood
and the community.
