(208) 359-3020 35 North 1st East Rexburg, ID 83440 Rexburg.org | Engage.Rexburg.org Project Description The applicant is requesting to change the zoning of the Shirley subdivision from Transitional Agriculture (TAG) to Low Density Residential 3 (LDR3). The request applies to 8 lots totaling approximately 11.67 acres and is located between Moody Rd and Highway 20, near the Moody Rd and 5th W intersection. The property consists of farmland and a single-family residence. The adjacent parcels are zoned as Transitional Agriculture (TAG). To the west, across Highway 20, is zoned as Rural Residential 1 (RR1). A single parcel to the east is zoned as Medium Density Residential 1 (MDR1). (See attached current zoning map) The current zoning of Transitional Agriculture (TAG) allows for a maximum density of 1 unit per acre, consisting of detached single-family homes and agriculture. Not considering the plat, the maximum density for 11.67 acres would be 11 units. Considering that the plat divides the 11.67 acres into 8 lots, a maximum of 8 units is allowed. The proposed zoning of Low Density Residential 3 (LDR3) allows for a maximum density of 10 units per acre, consisting of detached or attached single-family homes. Not considering the plat, parking, infrastructure, or permissible lot coverage requirements, a maximum of 116 units would be allowed on the total 11.67 acres. Considering that the plat divides the 11.67 acres into 8 lots, a maximum of 100 units would be allowed. The current Comprehensive Plan designation of Intermediate Residential supports the Low Density Residential 3 (LDR3) zone request.
