Chairman Kunz has done a great job and it has been a pleasure to work with you. This property is located out by Wake Lake. The church house on 2000 S was identified. On an adjacent north east corner of the proposal is Motel 6. At this point, the zone request and the Comprehensive Plan do not match. David Pulsipher confirmed only part of the property needs to be rezoned tonight. The front part of the parcel is already Community Business Center (CBC) zone. Staff supports the request; it fits the needs of the development in this part of the city. Medium-density housing has been approved as zoning on a parcel to the immediate north. On that parcel, there is also Community Business Center (CBC) along S 12th W. Staff recommends the application to the Commission for recommendation to City Council. 35 North 1st East Rexburg, ID 83440 Phone: 208.359.3020 Fax: 208.359.3022 www.rexburg.org Reason for Decision City of Rexburg 2 | Page Commissioner Questions: Chairman Kunz asked for the Comprehensive Plan and Rezone designations of the parcel just to the south of the request. Alan answered to the south, the parcel is designated as commercial in the Comprehensive Plan. The parcel to the south is zoned Community Business Center (CBC). Aaron confirmed the map shown is the one approved by the Commissioners and City Council. Applicant Presentation – Caden Fuhriman – 2194 Snake River Parkway – Alan pretty much hit on all the details he would have shared. He is trying to get the Comprehensive Plan Map to expand the commercial/mixed use designation. This designation matches the uses to the east and the south. Chairman opened the public input portion of the hearing at 6:51PM. Favor: None Neutral: None Opposed: None Written Correspondence: None Rebuttal: None Chairman asked if anyone else would like to speak. He closed the public input portion of the hearing at 6:51PM. Conflict of Interest? – Chairman Kunz asked the Commissioners if they have a conflict of interest or if they have been approached by any parties relative to this particular subject. If you believe your prior contact with respect to this subject has created a bias, you should recuse yourself, otherwise at this time please indicate the nature of your conversation or contact. None. Commissioner Discussion: Jim said as he looks at this on the map. The Rural piece that we are changing puts a notch on the highway. He feels this request would be a good time to make a more consistent corridor along the highway. Aaron agrees; he believes when the Commission looked at the Comprehensive Plan Map, they did not look at this area closely. The adjacent land uses to this parcel are commercial and it makes sense this parcel should also be commercial in designation. He would support this change. Chairman Kunz also said the requested zoning already exists on half of this lot. Vince asked Alan on 2000 S, with the development to the north of that, will the developer have to expand the road. Alan said a development would require the road on 2000 S to be widened. Chairman Kunz said when Motel 6 was built at its location, they were required to widen the road on 2000 S for their parcel to match the church. Vince said he recalls Keith, the Public Works Director, has discussed some hesitation with residential density in this area due to its location on the edge of the service area. Vince asked if Staff had concern for increased traffic on this road. Alan said the road is not heavily used. The road will be built to the current Engineering Standards. Keith did not see problems as far as traffic. Depth of sewer may be an issue. The developer would have to cover the cost. Vince’s only thought is we are getting close to the buffer of residential straight to commercial. The current RV park is somewhat is a commercial use. He doesn’t think there will be much of a problem adding more commercial to this area.

Designated as Resolution 2021-10 if motion passes - Alan Parkinson Mayor Merrill questioned if the property address is correct for this Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment. Planning and Zoning Administrator Parkinson said after visiting with City Attorney Zollinger the property fits with in the address specified. The property currently does not have an address, so they base the location off the parcel number. Planning and Zoning Administrator Parkinson explained only the back west portion of the property is being changed to be brought into compliance because the property owner is going to request a rezone to Community Business Center (CBC). The Comprehensive Plan Map will need to be changed to match the zone. The front section of the property is currently zoned CBC.
