Rezone/Annexation Rexburg Motor Sports — 05 00040 CANCELLED 3. Unfinished/Old Business: Final Plat for Hidden Valley, Phase 8 — 05 00088 Mary Haley motion to recommend approval for Hidden Valley, Phase 8 as shown on the plan with the stipulation that it meets every ordinance and public works criteria. The only thing that has changed was the title from Preliminary Plat to Final Plat. Mary Haley asked where some of the roads to the south connect. Kurt Hibbert explained there was a meeting held with some of the property owners to the south and discussed how those roads will be organized. Ted Hill seconded the motion. None opposed. Motion carried. B. Discuss the three new commercial zones Kurt Hibbert opened the commercial zone discussion with Neighborhood Business District due to the Public Hearing that will be coming. After reading through the possibilities for a permit and a conditional use permit, he asked the commissioners if those buildings listed are all appropriate for this Zone. David Stein suggested to lower the acre requirement to have a business on because most of the properties zoned for NBD will be smaller compared to larger businesses. The commissioners held a short discussion on the NBD zone and came to the conclusion that under NBD, the only thing that needed to be amended was the acreage being lowered to a minimum of 2 acres. Kurt Hibbert wanted to transition the Highway Business District (HBD) zone into one of the current zones in the new comprehensive plan, possibly putting it under community business center (CBC). In this zone, the property owners would not gain or loose any property rights and at the same time bring everything into consistency. Commissioners agreed with this concept. Kurt Hibbert will map out everything and make sure there are no conflicts. 4. New Business A. City Council Feedback Form Kurt Hibbert explained that the Mayor and City Council have requested the Planning & Zoning commission to fill out a briefing sheet on motions made that will be sent up to City Council. They will continue to have the motions imbedded in the minutes, but this will help to make sure that nothing falls through the cracks and see in more detail the background of the decisions/motions made. Kurt Hibbert talked to Chairman Dyer who was very receptive to this concept. B. Comprehensive Plan Kurt Hibbert reported that the 9"' of May is the deadline on the Comprehensive Plan changes. The majority of the properties along 2nd East from Main to I" South have requested consideration of changing from what is now currently Single Family Residential to Commercial or Medium Density housing zone. The other area is next to the Stone Bridge Subdivision. There's a band of what is classified as Residential 2 Moderate to High Density. The zone currently is Medium Density Residential. The applicant is petitioning to change that band along the back of the subdivision to Commercial, and back off the Multi -Family on the North in the front of the subdivision and push that back to Single Family. C. Walgreen's Update — Kurt Hibbert reported that Walgreen's did make their submission. They did an excellent job bringing all the materials in that were requested by the design standards. They have scheduled a design review meeting next Wednesday at Noon with the four commissioners who are on the committee along with the developers to answer any questions. Staff will do the review of submission before that meeting. After the meeting, it will go back to the Planning & Zoning PJ Commissioners and will make their recommendations to City Council. Walgreen's is working on the exterior blend with the surrounding buildings. Issues with the building away from the sidewalk were brought up. Steve Zollinger commented that the design standards allow exactly what Walgreen's has. D. Impact area — Kurt Hibbert reported that there is a tri-entity meeting between both cities and the county and the mayor would like to present an amendment to the impact area to the county and make sure it is adequate (both the North and South side). Mary Haley asked how far public facilities extend. Kurt Hibbert said they extend to the North side of the Business Park. David Stein asked if anyone felt strongly about including the northwest corner on the impact zone. Commissioners had no comments. David Stein summed up the discussion and explained that the proposal to expand the impact zone and Kurt Hibbert is recommending that on the Not side, that the Northwest corner will be cut off and that the actual impact zone expansion recommendation as small as possible, within reason. Commissioners agreed. 5. Non controversial Items Added to the Agenda - None 6. Tabled requests - None 7. Report on Proiects A. Roundabout Update — Kurt Hibbert reported that the design is complete & their getting ready to put it out to build (on Viking Drive and 2nd West).
