FROM: Bill Parsons, Planning Supervisor
RE: 2019 UDC Text Amendment Revisions (H-2019-0049)
May 16`'', P/Z Commission Meeting
On May 2°d, the Planning and Zoning Commission continued this project to allow Staff to revise several
sections of the text proposed with the subject application based on public testimony. Staff has updated
the table and sent the revisions via email for additional feedback. The only comments received thus far
were from Nampa Meridian Irrigation District and further refinement has been made based on that
feedback.
Modifications to the table includes the following:
1. Staff is proposing to omit the changes to UDC 11 -2A -3(B)(3); leave as currently written in code;
2. Added D. to UDC 11-3A-6 to stipulate that piping, fencing and any improvement requires
approval from an irrigation district or drain entity;
3. Changed the spelling of travelling to the American version in UDC 11-3A-20;
4. Further discussions are needed for the addition of age -restricted parking. The applicant was
informed of this request when the revised table was distributed for review. No changes to the
parking standards in UDC Table 11-3C-6 at this time;
5. Staff is proposing to remove exclusion of arterial and collector landscape buffers from counting
towards the qualified open space requirements in UDC 11 -3G -3(B);
6. Added City Council will determine the feasibility of modifications to the standards when
proposing access to a state highway in UDC 11-3H-3;
7. Specified indoor shooting ranges be measured from property line to property line in Chapter 4.
For review and specifics of the proposed edits, staff has updated the revisions in the table by
highlighting the changes in yellow and delineating the new text in blue font along with commentary for
the changes.
