Report on Projects: A. Design standards under 25,000 feet Chairman Dyer asked Kurt Hibbert to report on the discussion in last nights City Council meeting regarding the entrances to Rexburg that are under consideration in the design standards. Kurt Hibbert discussed the Sexually Oriented Business zone and their purpose on being proactive and prepared for such a business(es). There have not been any applications for such businesses and they are not anticipated. Kurt Hibbert reports that there has not been any further progress. The subcommittee has given Mr. him the direction on how they want to proceed as far as the construction of that document. Hibbert will compile the materials and bring a document back to the commission for review. Chairman Dyer explained two things the county is considering doing. First, they are looking at possibly requiring central water and sewer for subdivisions within a 2 mile radius of the impact zone to plan for future expansion. Second, they were also thinking of some additional radius beyond our impact zone where they would then say they have to meet the cities design standards that the area is closest to, rather than the county trying to go through all the effort of adopting their own design standards and passing by ordinance. B. Lighting ordinance Kurt Hibbert commented that Mr. Zollinger ran into an individual, Craig Duncan, who is an expert in lighting ordinances and would like to get involved to help draft our Lighting Ordinance. There had been quite a variety of ordinances between cities, and he would like the commissioners to see the whole spectrum to determine the best ordinance for Rexburg. C. Comments & input on P&Z ordinance draft Kurt Hibbert said the Mayor has made it a priority and assigned him and Mr. Zollinger to codify the city ordinances this next year. In an effort to get that started, Kurt reviewed about 200 of the last ordinances to analyze which ones particularly amended or pertained to different things on the zoning ordinance. The plan is to pull out as many ordinances as possible that pertain to the Zoning ordinance to make sure those changes are integrated in the new draft so all of the old ordinances can be vacated. Chairman Dyer addressed the fact that the ordinance is going from about 70 pages to 200 pages. The Ordinance is now organized so that a developer can go to one chapter and find all of the requirements/standards for the zone they will be building in. Kurt Hibbert reminded the commissioners that the Highway Business District is being replaced with a new zone equivalent to the HBD zone which will be in the middle of the shopping center zones. 2 Group discussion on changes that need to be made to the draft of the ordinance Randall Porter commended Kurt Hibbert, “I think that the commission – and I’ll speak for the commission – in thanking Kurt for all the time and effort that you put in this document up to this point. I know you don’t get this done during normal business hours; there’s a lot of weekend work and a lot of night work.” Group discussion on enforcement Building permit application report Copy in packet for commissioners to see what is being proposed and approved. Discussion on design of buildings as well as on the tri-meeting that was held prior to the current meeting Chairman Dyer adjourned the meeting at 9:40pm. 3
