FOR
ZONE CHANGE FOR KEN BROWN POTATO WAREHOUSE
On December 30, 1999, Ken Brown presented to the City Clerk an application for zone
change on property in the Rexburg Impact Zone north of Rexburg between Highway 33
and the Salem Highway described as follows:
Beginning at the Southwest corner of Section 8, Twp. 6 N., R. 40 E.,
Boise Meridian, Madison County, Idaho.
The zone change would be from agricultural to light industrial.
2. The City Clerk published the Notice of Public hearing in the local newspaper on February
7 and February 14, 2000, posted a notice on the property and sent notices to all property
owners within 300 feet of the above mentioned property.
3. On February 23, 2000, a Public Hearing was held before the Planning & Zoning
Commission regarding the proposed zone change to accommodate the operation of a
potato warehouse located on the above mentioned property.
4. Only one neighbor appeared at the hearing, that being Dan Allred representing Eastern
Idaho PCA located at 2272 N. Salem Rd. This was not an objection but a concern about
the possibility of a settling pond or something of that nature south of their building that
would impact their business.
After hearing the testimony and reviewing the plans the Commission voted that
beginning at the Salem Road and running East 660 feet be left zoned Agricultural and the
balance of the described property be zoned to light Industrial and that the matter go
before the City Council.
On March 1, 2000, a Public Hearing was held before the City Council regarding the
proposed zone change. Garry Jeppesen appeared before the Council requesting that this
matter be tabled for review of a supposed agreement between the City of Rexburg and the
City of Sugar City allowing Sugar City input on any changes made to the property.
7. After extensive discussion the Council voted to approve the proposed zone change as
recommended by the Planning & Zoning Commission, that being beginning at the Salem
Road and running East 660 feet be left zoned Agricultural and the balance of the
described property be zoned light Industrial.
