City of Rexburg, Idaho

Rexburg, ID 83440
Planning and Zoning Commission
We the undersigned residents of I" North street and surrounding area are united in our
strong opposition to the proposed zone change from LDR 1 to MDR for the property
located at 352 W. I" N. in Rexburg.
It is our understanding that the proposal is to allow for the building of two four-plex
apartments and a duplex on the above listed property. To us it is illogical to construct a
multiplex in a single residence zone. Certainly the city planner understands the
importance of maintaining the character and personality of various sections of the town
and has as his or her responsibility to plan ahead for the development of multi resident
dwellings in areas where it is determined appropriate. We do not believe it is wise or in
the best interest of the residents of this area to piecemeal our single dwelling zoning with
multi -dwelling zoning. Have you considered the drop in property values that often
accompanies this type of inappropriate restructuring of zoning laws simply because an
individual wants to make a buck?
The residents of 1" North are young families and retirees. The families have several
young children who play up and down the street, walk to school, and travel past this
property in route to the dirt hills, fair grounds, and the Nature Park. The addition of
several more cars entering and exiting this area is of great concern to us for the safety of
our children and the increase in traffic patterns? Also, have you considered the problems
with snow removal?
The indicated property is located between two homes owned by retirees who have lived
here for decades and are entitled to the peace and quiet that should reside in a
neighborhood zoned for single dwelling residences. One resident would be completely
sandwiched between two apartment complexes. This is not right and it's not fair. This
also brings up a question for consideration. Are the current two four-plexes located at the
west end of the street zoned properly? The addition of more apartment complexes would
change the neighborhood away from that which we currently enjoy and want to maintain.
Again, it is the responsibility of the city planner to protect neighborhood character.
Have you considered the following? Does the property in question contain sufficient
space for the number of proposed dwellings taking into account the zoning laws for set
backs to the road and neighboring structures, and the required parking spaces for the
number of dwellings?
It is our desire to maintain the current atmosphere and family dwelling zoning laws that
we currently call home. Therefore, we object to the proposal for rezoning and
recommend that there be no changes.
Residents of I" North street and surrounding area opposed to the proposed zone change
from LDR 1 to MDR for the property located at 352 W. 1'` North in Rexburg.
