PUBLIC NOTICE CITY OF BLACKFOOT 157 N BROADWAY Notice hereby is given that the City of Blackfoot Planning and Zoning Commission will conduct a public hearing on the 18th day of December 2018, to consider whether to recommend to City Council to adopt a new Tiny House Subdivision Ordinance for the City. The new proposed Tiny House Subdivision shall be subject to requirements outlined in the zoning ordinance and also subject to all provisions of the subdivision ordinances. This title intends that Tiny Home Subdivisions create a highly vegetated, park-like environment, where the emphasis is placed on minimalist living. This Title only allows for Tiny Homes on permanent foundations and does not allow Tiny Homes on Wheels (THOWs). THOWs are encouraged and accommodated in the City of Blackfoot in designated RV Subdivision Developments. Benefits sought by this section are: increased housing stock, increased affordable housing, facilitating intergenerational living, attracting new residents, increased municipal revenue, supporting vulnerable populations, and generally providing residents with more lifestyle freedom. Infill of underdeveloped single-family areas of the city is considered a strong benefit of Tiny House Subdivision. All persons interested or who are affected are invited to attend said hearing and provide testimony, if any, why said recommendation should or should not be made. No more than two pages of written testimony will be accepted at the hearing. All other written testimony must be delivered to the City of Blackfoot Planning and Zoning Department a minimum of 8 days before the hearing. You may mail comments to the address above, or email them to [EMAIL REDACTED]. If you have any questions, please call City Hall at [PHONE REDACTED], Ext. 3. City Hall and the Council Chambers are accessible to persons with disabilities. Anyone needing special assistance can contact Donna Parkinson at [PHONE REDACTED], Ext. 3, to make arrangements. Please notify the City at least three days before the meeting with your request. A sign-up sheet will be available at least one-half hour before the start of the meeting. All persons desiring to speak at the public hearing must sign in. For more information, please contact Donna Planning and Zoning Clerk at [PHONE REDACTED], Ext. 3.
