This parcel is within walking distance of the BYU-I campus in the Pedestrian Emphasis District (PED). The property is 0.214 acres. (action) Staff Report: Alan Parkinson – This is a rezone request by Darren Wardell. The property is currently Community Business Center (CBC) to High-Density Residential 1 (HDR1). There is a single-family home with a detached garage currently on the property. In this area we have a lot of high-density residential. When we took a look at our Comprehensive Plan map recently, the group designated this area as MDR1-HDR2. The rezone request matches the Comprehensive Plan. Sewer and water can service the additional density. Storm water will have to be handled on site. The request meets the requirements of the Development Code. Staff recommends the Commissioner recommend this application to City Council. Commissioner Questions: Randall checked his calculations. On this 0.2-acre parcel, this would allow a maximum of six (6) units. He asked if Alan, when he was referring to the high-density in the neighborhood, was referring to those located across Yellowstone. Alan 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 said there is high-density west of this property, within the same block, and also on the south side of W 4th S.

Rebuttal: None Conflict of Interest? – Chairperson Smith 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: Randall is concerned about the location, where across the street is a church. Many people are parking in this neighborhood in the church parking lot. As we look at this higher density in this area, six (6) units does not seem like a huge impact. Is off-street parking required at redevelopment? Alan said on-street parking is not allowed; off-street parking is required. Randall thought this is the situation; he supports the request. Chairperson Smith said are we good about removing the commercial. One property has already rezoned from commercial to residential in the vicinity. Alan said this is a prime area for residential. Jim likes the idea of this application due to the walkability to campus. Eric asked if the adjoining properties to the north and south are single-family homes. Was any response received from either of them? Alan did not hear from them. Several homes are rentals in this area, but a few are owner-occupied. Vince asked with the zone change, what will they be allowed to do? Alan said the parking will need to be behind the building. Six units is the maximum density if they can make the parking work. Vince said he understands the area going to high-density. He would have loved to see neighbors come in together. Vince does not want to see a tower with smaller homes next to it creating an eyesore. With that being said, he does not anticipate this are will turnover as quick as we think it will. Chairperson Smith asked about the height allowance. Alan said the maximum is four (4) stories. Vince said the maximum is 55’, but within fifty (50’) feet from a residential zone, the maximum height is reduced to thirty-five (35’) feet.

Planning and Zoning recommendation to approve a rezone at approximately 358 S 3rd W from Commercial Business Center (CBC) to High Density Residential 1 (HDR1) #21-01033. Designated as Ordinance No 1277 if Motion Passes and Considered 1st Read – Alan Parkinson Planning and Zoning Administrator Parkinson explained the rezone request fits the Comprehensive Plan Map. A traffic impact study is not required at this time. Council President Busby asked if the reason a traffic study is not required is because the property is in the Pedestrian Emphasis District (PED). Planning and Zoning Administrator Parkinson replied the property being in the PED Zone is not the reason a traffic impact study is not being completed. The decision is made by the Public Works Department. Council President Busby expressed his concerns with reducing parking for apartment complexes in the PED Zone. The reduction in parking is not working because most students are bringing a vehicle. Planning and Zoning Administrator Parkinson said a parking plan would need to be formed to receive a reduction in parking and City Council approval. Council Member Flora said a resident living near the property expressed her concerns regarding street parking to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The diagonal street parking is being used by students that do not purchase a parking pass from the apartment complex they are living in. During, the winter months there isn’t a parking issue. There is a church house adjacent to the property. The church members are having issues finding a parking stall on the street due to the apartment complex residents parking on the street. Planning and Zoning Administrator Parkinson said the parking issues are being considered. Public Works Director Davidson said no parking signs can be installed to address the parking issues. Council Member Johnson asked if approving the rezone exacerbate the parking issues. City Attorney Zollinger said the parking issues are mainly caused by dormitory housing. Council Member Johnson moved to approve Ordinance No 1277 the rezone at approximately 358 S 3rd W from Commercial Business Center (CBC) to High Density Residential 1 (HDR1) and consider first read; Council Member Erickson seconded the motion; Mayor Merrill asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council Member Flora 4 | Page Council Member Johnson Council Member Chambers Council Member Erickson Council Member Walker Council President Busby The motion carried. 9.
