The City Council has approved a Development Code change from TAG1 & TAG2, which had only the
lot width different between the two zones, to a single Transitional Agriculture zone, therefore the
parcels with TAG1 & TAG2 designations need to be rezoned to the single, current Transitional
Agriculture (TAG) zone.
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
The properties are located mostly in the Impact Area, with a few parcels in the city limits on the
north side of town. The total area involved in this Rezone request is approximately 4,476 acres.
