Planning and Zoning Administrator Parkinson explained that following the
recommendation to amend the Comprehensive Plan, the request for a zone change can
now be considered. The proposal involves rezoning the front portion of the property from
LDR1 to LDR2 and the freeway adjacent portion from LDR2 to LDR3.
Applicant Marco Diaz reiterated that his goal is to create a step down pattern in density,
starting with LDR3 near the freeway, transitioning to LDR2, and then single family homes
further south. He emphasized that the request is not a radical change but a gradual
adjustment consistent with previous discussions.
Administrator Parkinson confirmed that the application meets all requirements and
reviewed key considerations, including traffic impact, emergency access, and utility
connections. He noted that developments exceeding 30 single family units will require a
second access point and that a public road on the north side will be necessary to provide
sewer and water service. Staff clarified that LDR3 zoning allows up to 10 units per acre,
including single family homes, duplexes, twin homes, and townhomes, while LDR2
permits single family and duplex/twin homes only. He recommended approval of the
zone change request, stating that the applicant has addressed requirements and is
preparing for future infrastructure needs. The applicant added that the delay in bringing
the proposal forward was due to efforts to secure secondary access and meet city
standards.
The Commission reviewed the zoning map, which shows surrounding areas with LDR1,
LDR2, RR1, and some MDR designations, as well as existing LDR3 zoning nearby.
Administrator Parkinson noted that similar zoning patterns exist in adjacent
developments such as Summerfield and that the proposed changes align with current
growth trends.
Administrator Parkinson confirmed that Commissioner Geddes could vote on the
rezone, even though she voted against the Comprehensive Plan change.
Chairperson Lawrence opened the public input portion of the hearing at 8:25 pm.
In Favor:
Greg Newkirk, residing at 975 Westwood Drive, spoke in favor of the proposed zone
change. He stated that the request is modest and provides a logical transition in density.
Mr. Newkirk explained that the plan envisions LDR3 zoning near the freeway for
townhomes, tapering to duplexes and possibly single-family homes. He concluded by
saying the design is appropriate and fits well with the area.
Neutral: none

Kathy Parson, residing at 298 South 12th West, reiterated her opposition to the zone
change. She expressed concern about traffic impacts, noting that she spends significant
time outdoors and observes heavy traffic in the area. Mrs. Parson stated that she does
not want to lose access to her property and believes the proposed development would
worsen congestion.
Wanless Southwick, residing at 375 South 12th West, spoke against the proposed
zone change. He stated that adding more affordable housing units would increase traffic
congestion because residents use roads the same way as those in larger lots. Mr.
Southwick argued that placing townhomes near the freeway does not solve traffic
problems and expressed concern about the canal along 12th West, which limits the
ability to widen the road to five lanes. He explained that the canal cannot be covered due
to grade and sediment issues. He stated that making additional east west connections or
alternative routes was necessary. Mr. Southwick suggested that approving the zone
change now is premature and recommended waiting until a master plan for the entire
area is developed.
Brent Harris, residing at 1125 Widdison Lane, also opposed the zone change. He urged
the Commission to consider the impact on adjacent properties and the need for a
coordinated development plan. Mr. Harris noted that future development of neighboring
parcels could lead to additional requests for intermediate residential zoning and higher
densities. He stressed the importance of planning for adequate ingress and egress,
limiting the number of access points to 12th West, and ensuring emergency access. Mr.
Harris expressed concern that approving changes without a clear plan for connectivity
and infrastructure could repeat past mistakes and create long-term traffic and safety
issues.
Mike Evans, residing at 2195 West 440 South, reiterated his opposition, stating that
long time residents should have a voice in decisions that affect their neighborhood. He
expressed concern that incremental zoning changes benefit individual developers at the
expense of community stability and quality of life.
Leon Parson, residing at 298 South 12th West, compared the situation to “the camel’s
nose in the tent,” warning that approving this change could lead to further incremental
increases in density. He strongly recommended leaving the zoning as it is to preserve
the character of the area.
Doug Thompson, residing at 1053 Widdison Lane, spoke against the proposed zone
change. He stated that most attendees at the meeting live near the property and have a
vested interest in the outcome. Mr. Thompson expressed concern that the proposed
LDR3 zoning would allow two-story townhomes, which he believes would negatively
impact the area’s scenic views. He noted that LDR2 zoning, similar to what exists in the
Summerfield subdivision, would be more appropriate for the neighborhood because it
supports family homes while maintaining community character. Mr. Thompson also
commented that while traffic noise from the highway is noticeable, residents eventually
adapt to it, and he does not believe traffic should be the primary issue. He concluded by
stating that families would still choose to live in the area if given the opportunity under
appropriate zoning.

Charlene Evans, residing at 2195 West 440 South, also voiced opposition. She urged
the Commission to visit the area and consider whether the proposed zoning fits the
neighborhood’s character. Mrs. Evans emphasized the importance of thoughtful planning
and expressed concern that the proposed changes could negatively affect the
community.

Rebuttal:
Marco Diaz addressed comments from the public and reiterated his intent to provide a
well planned development. He agreed with concerns about the need for a
comprehensive approach and emphasized that his proposal represents a gradual step
up in density rather than a radical change. Mr. Diaz stated that the development will
include homes for sale, not rentals, because he believes homeownership promotes pride
and better maintenance. He clarified that the project aims to create a mix of housing
types, townhomes, twin homes, and single family homes, similar to the Summerfield
development, which he views as a successful example. Mr. Diaz explained that he has
worked with adjacent property owners, including the Steiner family, to secure
agreements for additional access points to minimize traffic impacts. He acknowledged
that any change will be disruptive but expressed his willingness to collaborate with
neighbors and the city to address concerns and adjust plans as needed. Mr. Diaz
concluded by stating that the proposed zoning change from LDR1 to LDR2 and LDR2 to
LDR3 is intended to provide housing diversity and affordability while maintaining quality
standards. He emphasized that the development will not resemble the Meadows and
reiterated his commitment to building a community oriented project that aligns with city
planning goals.
Chairperson Lawrence closed the public input portion of the hearing at 8:43 pm.
Commissioner Discussion:
Commissioners reviewed the potential impact of the proposed zone change on housing
density. It was noted that according to the staff report, the overall increase would be
approximately 40 units compared to current zoning. Chairperson Lawrence
emphasized the distinction between the comprehensive plan and zoning, noting that the
comprehensive plan represents a long term vision, while zoning determines what can be
built immediately. He expressed uncertainty about whether LDR3 is appropriate for the
area at this time, despite supporting the earlier comprehensive plan amendment. He
stated that while Intermediate Residential is the right direction for future planning, the
timing of the rezone may not be ideal given surrounding undeveloped properties.
Commissioner Thackeray supported the proposal, citing the adjacent charter school
and the need for housing options for young families. He explained that many families are
priced out of the market and that townhomes provide an affordable alternative to
apartments. Commissioner Thackeray shared that his own experience and
observations indicate strong demand for attainable housing in Rexburg. Administrator
Parkinson confirmed the location of the charter school and reiterated that infrastructure
requirements, including access and traffic mitigation, will be addressed during
development review.

Commissioner Kempton commented on the nature of planning and development,
noting that Rexburg operates within a free market system where property owners and
developers make decisions within city guidelines rather than under centralized control.
He stated that while a fully coordinated plan would be ideal, it is not practical under the
current system. It was suggested that if the Commission is uncomfortable approving
LDR3 zoning, an alternative could be to recommend LDR2 for the entire property
instead. Commissioner Hanna responded that concerns about timing have been raised
repeatedly over the years and argued that progress requires taking the first step. He
expressed support for mixed housing and affordable homeownership, stating that the
proposed development could serve as the beginning of a new phase of growth on the
west side of the highway. Commissioner Hanna compared the concept to successful
mixed use communities such as Daybreak in Utah, emphasizing that while the project is
smaller in scale, it represents a positive vision for Rexburg’s future.
Commissioner Kempton stated that his role as a Commissioner is to balance the rights
of property owners with the needs of the surrounding community. He emphasized that
while city planning provides a vision through the comprehensive plan, decisions must
also consider current residents and their concerns. He noted that he could personally
see value in townhomes for individuals like empty nesters but stressed that the
Commission’s responsibility is to weigh community impacts against property rights.
Chairperson Lawrence added that continuity in growth is important to avoid scattered
development and ensure cohesive planning. Commissioner Francis commented that
this property has been reviewed multiple times over the years and highlighted the
significant housing demand in Rexburg. He noted that starter homes in nearby
developments such as Summerfield now cost substantially more than in the past,
creating a need for more affordable housing options. He stated that the proposed zone
change would allow for townhomes and other attainable housing types, which could help
meet this demand and provide opportunities for residents to live closer to the city center
where infrastructure already exists.
Administrator Parkinson noted that demand for housing in Summerfield remains high,
with homes and townhomes selling as quickly as they are built. Commissioner Geddes
questioned why the city should not focus on LDR2 zoning, which appears to be in high
demand, rather than moving to LDR3. She suggested that LDR2 would meet current
housing needs without introducing higher density. Commissioner Thackeray stated
there is LDR3 in Summerfield as well. Administrator Parkinson responded that a mix
of housing types is necessary because not all residents can afford single family homes
or larger lots. Townhomes provide an entry level option for young families and
individuals seeking homeownership, often at a cost lower than renting. He emphasized
that the proposed development represents a small portion of future growth west of the
freeway and that the overall plan anticipates a combination of housing types.
Chairperson Lawrence added that the presence of the charter school adjacent to the
property influences his decision, as the school provides a buffer and supports the logic
of placing higher density housing near major infrastructure. Commissioners
(208) 359-3020

Rexburg, ID 83440
Rexburg.org | Engage.Rexburg.org
acknowledged that additional development north and south of the site is likely and that
increased population will accelerate road improvements.
Commissioners discussed whether to maintain the applicant’s original request for a zone
change from LDR1 to LDR2 and LDR2 to LDR3 or consider an alternative approach with
one commissioner suggesting that recommending LDR2 for the entire property could be
an option for those uncomfortable with higher density.
Attorney Rammell advised clarifying the motion before voting to avoid procedural
issues. Commissioners expressed differing opinions: some supported limiting the
property to LDR2, while others favored approving LDR3 as requested by the applicant,
provided quality standards are maintained. The discussion concluded with
acknowledgment that the Commission could make any motion it deemed appropriate,
and members prepared to proceed with formal action.
MOTION: Motion to recommend City Council approve the zone change from LDR1
to LDR2, so that the entire parcel is LDR2, because it is more compatible with
what is in the area even though it is not what is being sought by the developer.
Action: Approve, Moved by Randall Kempton, Seconded by ______________.
Commissioner Discussion on the Motion:
Since the denial of the LDR3 zone request is not in accordance with the newly
recommended Comprehensive Plan amendment, Commissioner Kempton withdrew his
motion.
Commissioner Kempton wanted the record to reflect that the Commissioners are divided
and conflicted.
MOTION: Motion to recommend City Council approve the rezone for this property
from LDR1 to LDR2 and LDR2 to LDR3 because of growth in the area and its
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.

Conflict of Interest/Ex parte Conversation: Chairperson Smith asked the
Commissioners to disclose any conflicts of interest or conversations held outside of this
meeting relative to this particular subject.
Presentation:
Administrator Parkinson explained that the request had previously come before the
commission to change the eastern portion of the property from Low Residential in the
Comprehensive Plan to Intermediate Residential, allowing for the zone to be changed
from LDR2 to LDR3, and to change the western half from LDR1 to LDR2. The
commission had approved the request and forwarded it to City Council, but the Council
(208) 359-3020
35 North 1st East
Rexburg, ID 83440
Rexburg.org | Engage.Rexburg.org
rejected it and returned it to the Planning & Zoning Commission for reconsideration. The
applicant revised the request to withdraw the comprehensive plan change application
and the request to go to LDR3, now seeking only to rezone approximately 6.5 acres on
the western side of the parcel to LDR2 to match the existing adjacent zoning.
Chairperson Smith inquired about the difference in density between the two zones.
Administrator Parkinson confirmed it would allow approximately 12 additional units,
and the Charter School would remain in front of the property.
Chairperson Smith noted that requests for this property had been presented to the
Planning & Zoning Commission multiple times.
Chairperson Smith opened the public input portion of the hearing at 6:43 pm.
In Favor: none
Neutral:
Vince Haley, a former commissioner, addressed the commission and shared his opinion
regarding traffic concerns on 12th West. He stated that he did not believe there was a
traffic problem on 12th West, noting that he observed minimal traffic when driving to the
meeting. However, he acknowledged that speeding was an issue and expressed
frustration with the traffic lights, having to stop 4 times with each trip into Rexburg. He
suggested that linking the lights through the fiber network, as previously discussed by
the city and county, could improve the situation. He concluded that his comments
applied to the parcel under consideration as well as other parcels on 12th West.
Opposed:
Brent Harris expressed concern about traffic on 12th West. He disagreed with the
previous speaker’s opinion that there was no traffic problem, noting that having to wait
through multiple light cycles indicated a traffic issue rather than just a signal timing
problem. He stated that additional proposed developments would likely aggravate the
situation. While he did not oppose the zoning change itself, he emphasized that traffic
impacts needed to be considered and acknowledged that planned improvements were
still far in the future.
David Higginson expressed concerns about traffic on 12th West and access to the
proposed development. He disagreed with earlier statements that there was no traffic
problem, noting that congestion occurred during peak times such as 3:00 p.m. and 9:00
a.m. He stated that approving additional developments without addressing the
underlying issue of road expansion would worsen the problem. Mr. Higginson requested
clarification on how the property would be accessed, questioning whether access would
be through nearby subdivisions, the Meadows, or the charter school development. He
disagreed with his road, Twisted Willow, being an egress for the proposed development
and recommended denying the request until a clear access plan was provided and
emphasized the need for a long-term solution to traffic on 12th West.
Commissioner Smith clarified that the Planning & Zoning Commission’s position was
solely to change the zoning from LDR1 to LDR2 and that no development plan was
under consideration at this stage. It was noted that traffic and access issues would be
addressed during future reviews when a plan was submitted.

Written Correspondence: none
Rebuttal:
Marco Diaz, the applicant, thanked everyone for their comments and confirmed that the
current request was only for a zoning change, not a concept plan. He stated that the City
has made it clear this development needs two egresses: one planned for 12th W and one
on Twisted Willow, to comply with city and fire codes. He emphasized his commitment to
transparency and willingness to meet with neighbors to address concerns. Mr. Diaz
acknowledged that any development would increase traffic but noted that he had been
working with the city to help expand roads and maintain acceptable service levels. He
explained that the original goal was to increase zoning to LDR3, but after City Council’s
decision, the revised request to LDR2 was intended as a compromise. He expressed his
intent to find a solution that met city requirements and addressed neighborhood
concerns.
Chairperson Smith closed the public input portion of the hearing at 6:53 pm.
Commissioner Discussion:
Commissioner Geddes expressed concerns about access if the applicant did not own
the properties connecting to Twisted Willow. Administrator Parkinson clarified that it
was the applicant’s responsibility to secure a second access point, but those details
would be addressed during the plat review stage, not during the current zoning request.
The discussion also included clarification that the current traffic level was at a “C” level,
while the charter school could potentially reduce it to a “D” level. Administrator
Parkinson reiterated that traffic considerations would be addressed in future reviews
when plats are submitted.
Commissioner Richards discussed traffic concerns and the role of developers and the
city in road improvements. It was noted that road widening along 12th West would occur
incrementally as parcels developed, in accordance with development code, since
municipal bonds for major projects were unlikely. He stated that this was a reasonable
request, which would only add approximately 12 additional rooftops, and not many trips
per hour.
Commissioner Lawrence expressed support for the zoning change and stated
confidence in the city engineer’s traffic analysis. He explained that the engineer
evaluates traffic during peak hours to determine the level of service and that the
commission relies on this expertise when making decisions. He concluded that the
request represented a good compromise.
Commissioner Kempton stated that the zoning change represented a good
compromise and commended Mr. Diaz for engaging with the community. He referenced
City Council’s recent discussion, noting concerns about maintaining the integrity of the
Comprehensive Plan and avoiding changes in this area at this time. He expressed that
the applicant’s revised request for LDR2 was reasonable and voiced support for the
proposal.

Commissioner Geddes noted that the proposed zoning change maintained appropriate
transitions between adjacent zones, avoiding abrupt shifts from low density to high
density residential areas. She explained that the approach provided a gradual step
between rural and low density zones and expressed her support for LDR2 in this
location.
MOTION: Motion to recommend City Council approve the rezone of approximately
301 S 12th W, also known as the Birch property, from Low Density Residential 1

P&Z Administrator Parkinson explained that the Birch property, located just east of the future Gem
Prep School, was presented to the City Council approximately a month prior for a comprehensive plan
change. The applicant initially requested a split of LDR 3 and LDR 2 zoning, but later withdrew the
comprehensive plan change and now requested that the entire 13-plus-acre parcel be zoned LDR 2,
aligning with adjacent areas. The portion under consideration for rezone currently is slightly over six
acres.

Council Member C. Erickson noted that this property has been reviewed multiple times over the past
four years. He emphasized that the zoning was lowered once, from R2 to LDR 1 and LDR 2, and expressed
the need to protect remaining RR2 parcels as development continued. He acknowledged that he is not
opposed to the current request, citing ongoing communication between the developer and residents. He
noted that residents have expressed appreciation for the developer’s willingness to engage and
encouraged continued efforts to foster a good community and neighborhood relationships.
