Public Hearing – (26-00085) Tractor Supply Company - CUP – Located at approximately 1201 S 12th W, the application is to allow a storage yard in a Community Business Center (CBC) zone. – 3D T Holdings LLC (Action) 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 introduced the application, showing the location of the property on the map on the screen, indicating that it is located near Iron Horse and John Deere. He explained that the parcel is still a single parcel for now, and will be split if the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is approved. The applicant is seeking the CUP to allow the development of a storage yard where some materials can be stored and sold, similar to Cal Ranch or Valley Wide. Administrator Parkinson explained that although the CUP might not be strictly necessary, the applicant requested to proceed to avoid any future complications. Staff has reviewed and approved the request. Commissioner Thackeray asked whether approving the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the full parcel would allow outdoor storage across the entire lot after it was eventually split. Administrator Parkinson responded that was correct, but did not see any issue, noting that the area already contained multiple storage yards, including Builder’s First (208) 359-3020 35 North 1st East Rexburg, ID 83440 Rexburg.org | Engage.Rexburg.org Source and Rexburg Motor Sports. Commissioner Francis asked whether there were limitations on what could be stored outdoors. Administrator Parkinson explained that the CUP allowed outdoor storage of minor construction materials such as fencing, panels, and animal feed, and that such yards were typically enclosed with privacy fencing. He clarified that any more hazardous or different types of activities would require a separate CUP. Commissioner Francis referenced a prior CUP near the airport involving welding and light manufacturing and asked whether such activities would be permitted under this request. Administrator Parkinson stated that manufacturing required a distinct CUP and would not be allowed under the current request. Vice Chairperson Kempton noted that the approving body could impose conditions or safeguards if there were concerns. Administrator Parkinson emphasized that the applicant was specifically requesting a storage yard for materials similar to those found at Tractor Supply, Cal Ranch, or Valley Wide. Commissioners discussed limiting the CUP to the portion of the property intended for Tractor Supply. Administrator Parkinson confirmed that a condition could be added specifying that the CUP applied only to the Tractor Supply development area. Several Commissioners agreed that adding such a condition would be wise, and noted that any future applicants wishing to use other portions of the parcel for similar purposes would need to apply for their own CUP. Commissioner Geddes asked whether storing animal feed outdoors might attract animals to the site. Administrator Parkinson explained that the types of materials stored would be similar to those displayed outside at Cal Ranch, such as hay, straw, and bagged feed. He added that the area would be fenced, preventing animals from gaining access. Commissioner Geddes noted past experiences with wildlife being attracted to other properties, such as porcupines to car washes, but accepted the explanation that fencing would mitigate such concerns. Administrator Parkinson stated that the applicant would take necessary steps to protect their assets. Vice Chairperson Kempton then invited the applicant to clarify any points. The applicant, Charles Dunstan, stated that all perishable feed would be stored indoors, and that outdoor storage—referred to as a fenced outdoor display—would be limited to items too large for the sales floor, such as hay stored in a protected shed, propane tanks permitted through proper channels, panels, and dog kennels. Commissioner Muir asked about access into the property for deliveries. Administrator Parkinson confirmed that access would come directly onto 12th West near the Tractor Supply site and that final access details would be reviewed during either the plat or building process. Vice Chairperson Kempton opened the public input portion of the hearing at 6:40 pm. (208) 359-3020 35 North 1st East Rexburg, ID 83440 Rexburg.org | Engage.Rexburg.org Favor: none Neutral: none Opposed: none Written Correspondence: none Rebuttal: none Vice Chairperson Kempton closed the public input portion of the hearing at 6:41 pm. Commissioner Discussion: Commissioner Richards mentioned he was familiar with Tractor Supply stores in Texas and reaffirmed that the outdoor storage is similar to other businesses mentioned. He suggested that because the large parcel will be platted, that the CUP be limited to only the Tractor Supply Company’s future lot that is to-be-determined.

Planning & Zoning recommendation to approve a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow a storage yard in Community Business Center (CBC) Zone at approximately 1201 S 12th W, Permit # 26-00085 – Alan Parkinson Action Item P&Z Administrator Parkinson reviewed the conditional use permit request for a storage yard associated with Tractor Supply Company. He explained that the proposed location is on 12th West, just north of the John Deere dealership. He stated that the storage yard would be used for items like those found at other local storage yards, such as Cal Ranch and Valley Wide. He also noted that during planning and zoning discussions, a condition was added to clarify that the permit would apply only to Tractor (208) 359-3020 35 North 1st East Rexburg, ID 83440 Rexburg.org | Engage.Rexburg.org Supply Company and the specific portion of land designated for its use. This condition ensured that other entities or portions of the larger parcel would not be covered under the same permit.
