I have heard one house, 4 houses and duplexes.4 houses is too many. The street here is a very busy street as it is the bus route. Also the park brings a tremendous amount of traffic and people parl( on other people's property, sometimes even in their driveways. I think a house is ok, but not 4 and not sure about d uplexes. ls he looking at selling these houses/ duplexes or renting? That also makes a difference. Unfortunately a lot of people don't take care of property and I don't want my property (that ltake care of) to be devalued because ofjunk I have to look at every day.

Variance Request: Staff Analysis I. Background – The applicant and team met with City staff during a pre-application meeting to discuss the project and code requirements. The applicant is requesting to reduce the required number of parking spaces for industrial use based on the size and type of process. II. As pertains to Title 17 of the JMC: a. The property in question is currently zoned Heavy Industrial as detailed in 17.14.010 of the JMC. b. Per JMC, 17.26.020: Application of Provisions, A. No building or structure shall be erected, substantially altered, or its use changed unless permanently maintained off-street parking and loading spaces have been provided in accordance with the provisions of this title. i. The applicant is required to have 181 off-street parking spaces. III. The Jerome Municipal Code defines a Variance as: a. A modification of the requirements of this title as to lot size, lot coverage, width, depth, front yard, side yard, rear yard, setbacks, parking space, height of buildings or other provisions of this title affecting the size or shape of a structure or the placement of the structure upon lots, or the size of lots. A variance shall not be considered a right or special privilege but may be granted to an applicant only upon a showing of undue hardship because of the characteristics of the site and that the variance is not in conflict with the public interest. i. The applicant requests a variance to reduce the off-street parking spaces. Variance Criteria Staff Analysis 17.70.030: VARIANCES: The commission shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed variance request in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate evidence showing that the requested variance conforms to the following standards: A. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district; ---PAGE BREAK--- Planning and Zoning Department City Hall 152 East Ave A, Jerome, ID 83338 (208) 324–8189 www.cityofjerome.org • Staff Analysis: The processes involved with the use are innovative and technical. The new building combines circulation, common spaces, and storage area. The application notes that applying the existing code essentially double-counts the number of employees and increases the required number of parking spaces. Year one peak shift change will have 66 employees and year 2029 will have a peak of 132 employees. The applicant is proposing 75 new spaces for the new facility to start. This meets the peak shift change and includes spaces for contractors and visitors. B. That a literal interpretation of the provisions of this title would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this title; • Staff Analysis: A literal interpretation to comply with the code requirement of 181 spaces for this industrial use would leave 49 parking spaces unoccupied. As the application notes, this is a significant unoccupied, open space that is required to be calculated into stormwater runoff, and additional required maintenance of an area that will not be used. C. That special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant; • Staff Analysis: The application notes there are no special conditions or circumstances resulting from the actions of the applicant. Technology and manufacturing have improved over the years and the needed area for storage and circulation is greater than the number of employees. D. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this title to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. • The application notes granting the variance will not confer any special privilege on the applicant. Staff Comments: City staff has met with the applicant. Discussion was held about the parking on South Tiger Drive from the existing plant employees and contractors. Additional parking is being constructed to allow additional parking on IMP property as shown in application drawing. 17.70.040: SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS AND SAFEGUARDS: Under no circumstances shall a variance or an appeal of a variance be granted so as to allow a use not permissible under the terms of this title and the zoning district involved, or any use expressly or by implication prohibited by the terms of this title in said district.

Property Owner’s Signature: / Write a complete description of your request: The common spaces within the plant, illustrated in the attached graphics, are shared spaces of those employees calculated in the occupied office and production spaces. Including this square footage (per the ordinance requirements) would in essence double count the employees and generate a parking count that is well above the actual number required for the new facility. The parking spaces are shared by employees spread over four separate shifts. In year one the 6am/6pm shift changes have the highest peak parking load of 66 employees including contractor and visitor spaces. The plant is highly automated and only requires a total of 71 employees over all shifts to operate. In year 2029, when the plant is at full capacity, the 6am/6pm shift changes have the highest peak parking load of 132 employees including contractor and visitor spaces. The plant will only require a total of 157 employees over all shifts to operate at that point. IMP proposes 75 spaces for the new facility. The total proposed parking is sufficient to meet the needs of the peak demand at shift change (6am &6pm) and includes sufficient space for contractors and visitors. Between year one and 2029 a truck maintenance facility is planned that will include 94 additional parking spaces to accommodate that facility and the additional parking required for the increased workforce related to the capacity increase of this facility. IMP also plans to add 30 parking spaces to the existing facility to eliminate all parking along Tiger Drive. If the literal interpretation of the provisions of the ordinance were followed and all square footage had to be included, the parking count would exceed 181 spaces. This would create a large area of unused paved surface and added run-off/retention requirements leading to unnecessary additional installation and maintenance costs. The additional hard surface would also have a negative impact on the environment. We do not believe any other special conditions or circumstances will result from this variance. Granting this variance request would not confer on IMP any special privilege that is denied by this title to other lands, structures or building in the same district.

We are asking for a variance to the parking calculations and the total parking spaces required by the Jerome, ID Code of Ordinances, Section 17.26.150. The square footage of the facility misrepresents the total parking demand, as there are significant areas of combined circulation, common spaces, and unoccupied spaces. In addition, the workforce parking demand for the facility is much lower than the ordinance calculations require. Below is a detailed explanation and calculation summary.

Also present were Legal Counsel BJ Hess, City Planner Ida Clark, and Secretary, Katie Elliott. Chairman Mink led the audience in recitation of the pledge of allegiance. Chairman Mink called the Public Hearing to order at 7:00 p.m. Public Hearing for a request from Tana Parker for a Special Use Permit renewal allowing a Home Occupation for Catering, on the property described as Lot 16 Block 1, Glen Eagle Subdivision (NE 19-8-17), more commonly known as 913 Glen Eagle Drive, Jerome, Idaho. Staff Report: Ms. Clark stated the Parkers received their first special use permit in September 2021. They renewed again in 2022 for two years. They have complied with all wastewater and fire department requirements. The location is in a residential subdivision. City staff has not received any complaints from neighbors and there are no current code violations. The home occupation is conducted in the garage. The Parkers remain compliant with the standards for a special use permit and have requested a renewal with no changes to the application. The property in question 913 Glen Eagle Dr., Jerome, ID is zoned Residential-1 The proposed use, a home occupation, requires a Special Use Permit from the Planning & Zoning Commission. In this case, the Parkers would like to continue using a portion of their garage for catering services which constitutes a home occupation. As it pertains to the City of Jerome’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Ms. Clark stated this request complies with the Comprehensive Plan as defined in the following sections: Chapter 6, Our Quality of Life: “Foster a supportive, healthy, and resilient community of residents, rooted in Jerome’s rich history, that collaborates to welcome visitors and newcomers, and offers opportunities for everyone to live, work, and play.” Ms. Clark stated that reviewing the Unique Land Use Chapter 17.18.050, the applicant remains compliant with the conditions for a home occupation. Ms. Clark stated the Fire Department did comment that they would like them to comply with the yearly fire inspection.

The following Design Review Guidelines should be considered: A. Section 5.4 Sign Guidelines Signs are the highest profile element that the public is aware of and leaves the public with an impression of the community. Signs must be of high quality and fit the needs of the situation, while blending with the rest of the community’s desires. A garish sign may promote additional short term recognition, but will reduce the community’s long term attractiveness and image. Sign clutter, even of quality signs, will also reduce the community’s attractiveness and image and is more confusing than informative. No matter how much citizens and developers improve their existing and future community’s commercial, industrial, and residential area’s buildings, parks, roads, landscaping, etc., the image of the community will not improve unless the community’s signage is raised to the same level of quality as the rest of the community.

The electronic message display sign is professionally designed and meets the appropriate height and materials required and the sign is constructed of all-weather permanent material which allows the sign to be placed outside.

ROD MINK, Chairman of the Board Jerome City Planning and Zoning C. Findings and Conclusions for a request from The City of Jerome for Rezones for the properties described in Appendix A. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS ON APPLICATION OF CITY OF JEROME, IDAHO FOR A REZONE OF TWO PARCELS DESCRIBED HEREIN, IN JEROME, IDAHO A public hearing at the request from the City of Jerome for a rezone of two parcels, in Jerome, Idaho was held, pursuant to notice, on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, at City Council Chambers with all members of the public, in a format allowing participants to hear the meeting, including all deliberations by Commissioners and other speakers addressing the Commission, and to comment if so desired, all of which was noted in the agenda. The physical meeting was held at 100 East Avenue A, Jerome, Idaho. ---PAGE BREAK--- Staff Report: City Planner, Ida Clark, gave a staff report and brief background on the application. The application and these findings are for two parcels, more particularly described as follows: Parcel 1: From Residential 2 (R-2) to Public/Semi-Public (PS), on the parcel described as Jerome Unplatted Tax 2303080 of SWSE 19-8-17, more commonly known as the new park located on the north side of East Nez Perce, Jerome, Idaho; containing approximately 7.55 acres; and Parcel 2: From Public/Semi-Public (PS) to Residential 2 on the parcel described as Jerome Unplatted Tax 2303173 of SWSE 19-8-17, more commonly known as the parcel directly to the east of the new park on East Nez Perce and North of 710 and 806 East Nez Perce Avenue, Jerome, Idaho, containing approximately 20.46 acres. Ms. Clark stated both parcels seeking a rezone were annexed into the City limits in 2022. Parcel one was zoned Public/Semi-public (PS) upon annexation for the new South Park development. Parcel two was zoned Residential 2 (R-2) upon annexation noting the interest was residential development. A lot line adjustment was made between the two parcels. Lot line adjustments are administrative. The next step would be to rezone the parcel as the Jerome Municipal Code does not allow split zoning on parcels. Instead of hiring a surveyor to provide metes and bounds legal for each area, we request to rezone the entire parcels. Ms. Clark stated the original lot line followed the canal and when they straightened up the lots, it created two zones on each parcel. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Ms. Clark went over where the property was located on the map. The Comprehensive Plan: The Future Land Use Map designates parcel one as Public and parcel two as Residential Low. Ms. Clark reminded the Commission they are looking for the request to determine if they meet the following: Is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan; (ii) Will create a demand for public infrastructure that is not currently available, including municipal sewer and water services; (iii) Is compatible with the zoning uses in the surrounding areas; and (iv) No non-conforming uses will be created. Ms. Clark stated the request is in accordance with Chapter 1: Property Rights. It is also in accordance with Chapter 4; Our Built Environment. Both parcels were found to comply with the Comprehensive Plan during annexation and initial zoning. As pertains to the demand for public infrastructure that is not currently available, including municipal sewer and water services, the rezone is a clean-up from lot line adjustment. There is no additional demand for public infrastructure that hasn’t already been planned. ---PAGE BREAK--- As pertains to the compatibility with the zoning uses in the surrounding areas, the rezone is a cleanup due to a lot line adjustment. The zones are compatible with surrounding zones and established uses. As pertains to the creation of non-conforming uses, neither request creates a non-conforming use. Ms. Clark stated the park is well on its way which is allowed in the Public/Semi-Public zone, and there is nothing currently on parcel 2. This is a request to clean the two parcels up. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Schroeder, Ms. Clark stated parcel 1 is owned by Jerome Urban Renewal Agency (URA) and parcel 2 is privately owned. The application is requested by the City of Jerome. Testimony in Favor: Ms. Elliott read the following onto the record: Ken Robinette, CEO, South Central Community Action Partnership- Twin Falls, Idaho Supports the application. No further comment was provided. David Thibault- EHM Engineering, resident of Twin Falls, after being sworn in, stated his office wrote the legal description of the property for the acquisitions and the straightening out of the parcels. He stated on the northeast corner and the southeast corner of the initial URA property, were not beneficial to them for a park, as there were rock piles, a roadway, pump station and an irrigation lateral. During the acquisition, they needed to annex the property and assign the zoning. The straightening out of the property lines came later. Testimony in Opposition: Ms. Elliott read the following onto the record: Emily Hill, Jerome Idaho. Oppose the application. I have lived in my home for 15 ½ years. We have a nice, quiet home. We have Candle Light Park near our home. A new park will bring way too much traffic, noise and people by the house. Candle Light is functional, wide open and well maintained. That’s plenty. Put the new park elsewhere. Chairman Mink stated the park is already established. Testimony in Rebuttal: Ms. Clark stated she understands there will be more traffic. The new park is a great improvement to the area. Candle Light Park was dark, secluded, and things were happening there that should not have been happening. ---PAGE BREAK--- Ms. Clark believes this will open the property up and will make it safer for the community. Notification for all of the property owners were sent out twice for previous applications for the same property. The Jerome City Planning and Zoning Commission having heard the testimony presented, and having reviewed the application, the stated report, and the other documents and material in the file, enters its findings and conclusions as follows: I. Findings A. Parcel One as described in the agenda is currently zoned Residential 2 B. Parcel Two as described in the agenda is current zoned Public/Semi Public (PS). C. The Application seeks to amend the parcels as the straightening of the lot lines created two zones on each parcel. D. The proposed rezone is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. E. The proposed rezone will create a demand for public infrastructure that is not currently available, including municipal sewer and water services. F. The proposed rezone is compatible with the zoning uses in the surrounding area. G. The proposed rezone will not create any non-conforming uses. II. Conclusions A. Taken as a whole, the application complies with the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Jerome and will not adversely affect the character of the area where the property is located. B. The Commission recommends to the Jerome City Council that the application of the City of Jerome, for the Property described above, for rezoning of parcel one, as described in the agenda from Residential 2 2) to Public/Semi-Public (PS), and for parcel two, as described in the agenda, from Public/Semi-Public (PS) to Residential 2 (R-2) be approved.

Setbacks for the Residential 2 Zone are Front- 25 feet; Rear -20 feet; Interior Side- 7 feet; and Side Street- 15 feet. The minimum lot size is 5,000 square feet. As pertains to Jerome Comprehensive Plan, Ms. Clark stated the application meets objectives in Chapter 4 – Our Built Environment: Objective 4.2: Encourage a diversity of land uses at gateways and along key corridors to encourage a desirable, walkable community; Objective 4.3: Diversify the variety of housing types within the City, while protecting existing neighborhoods; and Objective 4.3.d Encourage areas for larger lots, single family homes to offer alternatives to the current small lot single family subdivisions, and to provide options for growing families. The Comprehensive Plan Map designates the property in question as Residential Low. Ms. Clark stated the subdivision application was deemed complete and scheduled for the next available meeting date which allowed staff to review the application, take comments from other agencies and properly notice for the public ---PAGE BREAK--- hearing. A mailed notice was sent to adjacent property owners on July 26, 2024, as required per code. The following agencies were sent a notice regarding the proposed subdivision: Idaho Power, Intermountain Gas, School District, Jerome County, North Side Canal Company and the Post Office. North Side Canal Company (NSCC) responded with a letter that has been sent to the developer regarding the L-12 and L-31 canals. The Applicant is aware of those comments and they are working with the NSCC and the City to help make sure the irrigation is not interrupted for those customers No comments have been received from other agencies. Regarding the Lot Requirements, Ms. Clark stated as proposed, all lots meet the minimum lot size for the respective zone. Lots range from 19,186 sq. ft. (easements included) to 7,251 sq. ft. The average lot size is approximately 9,309 sq. ft. The application proposes local streets meeting right-of-way. The application notes all but one private drive for four lots, will be dedicated for public use and be constructed to meet City standards. The subdivision will extend to South Fillmore Street. The subdivision will have access from South Fillmore to the new road created by the development of South Park. The new URA road will go down to Nez Perce but will also connect to South Cleveland Street and South Davis Street. There will be several access points. The streets are located accordingly to serve all proposed lots. The streets meet the required horizontal and vertical geometry and minimum and maximum grades. It is noted there will be five driveways accessed from South Fillmore Street and two from the new URA road. Proposed street names conform with the existing City grid. The application does not propose any alleys due to the configuration of the lots and the street layout. The plat proposes the required front and rear easements. The plat also includes the required irrigation easements for the canal. Water and sewer models will need to be prepared before a Will Serve letters can be issued. The sewer and water will be extended. The materials show the retention pond on the northwest corner of the development. Stormwater retention/detention has been calculated to meet the City’s requirements. The development proposes curb, gutter, and a five-foot wide sidewalk along streets. ---PAGE BREAK--- Pressurized irrigation will be provided to all lots. They have acknowledged per municipal code; water shares will be transferred to the City for delivery of irrigation. Fire hydrants, mailboxes, and streets lights have been included on the preliminary plat meeting the requirements of code. Regarding the landscaping, the preliminary plat shows fencing placed along the canal easement. Ms. Clark briefly explained the Commission’s actions for a Preliminary Plat explained in JMC 16.16.050. In determining the acceptance of a proposed subdivision the Commission shall consider the objectives of this title and at least the following: The conformance of the subdivision with the comprehensive plan; (ii) The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development; (iii) The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program of the city; (iv) The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development; and The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the attention of the Commission. If approved, Ms. Clark recommended the following conditions: Comply with all City of Jerome Department requirements pertaining to the needed sewer, water, roads, hydrants, irrigation, construction, and any other needed improvements; A final plat or any part thereof, shall be submitted for review and approval by the City Council prior to recording the plat at the County; and Comply with all City, State and Federal Requirements. Ms. Clark went over the plat in more detail with the Commission. There may be some small changes regarding the future connectivity in the plat but those changes will be minimal and they will not be adding additional lots. If there are significant changes, they will bring the plat back before the Commission. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Ms. Clark stated the zoning is Residential 2. Upon inquiry from Chairman Mink, Ms. Clark stated there is a hammerhead for the private road proposed but it may change. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Ms. Clark stated the hammerhead would allow emergency vehicle access. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Fraser, Ms. Clark stated the property will not connect to South Tiger Drive but it will connect to Nez Perce by the new URA road, South Davis Street, and South Cleveland Street. Discussion was held on the roads and the connectivity from South Fillmore Street and Nez Perce, and the pathway. ---PAGE BREAK--- Upon inquiry from Commissioner Schroeder regarding the changing of the hammerhead road, Ms. Clark referred the question to the Applicant. Applicant Testimony: Dave Thibault, of EHM Engineering and representing Jared Hunt resident of Twin Falls, appeared and testified before the Commission. After being sworn in, Mr. Thibault went over the roadways within the proposed subdivision and how they will flow with the existing roads. The subdivision road will connect to the URA road that connects to Nez Perce or South Cleveland Street and South Davis Street. Mr. Thibault stated with the roads being placed where they were, they had a smaller area that was a little more difficult to design and they went with a hammerhead where they possibly could stub out utilities for a future expansion with the neighboring property. Mr. Thibault went over the possible expansion on East Avenue L with the Commission. They have not yet designed the roads, this is just a proposal but they are working with staff. They are also looking at possibly adding a walkway to the LDS Church. Mr. Thibault went over the surrounding neighboring uses, irrigation that runs through the property, and the phasing of the subdivision. They will have an HOA. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, they will have 63 buildable with two lots having storm drain and irrigation on them. Mr. Thibault stated this design was challenging with the geometry of the parcel. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Mr. Thibault stated the private road would not be wide enough for dedication to the public but is sufficient for a private drive. Ms. Clark stated private drives are allowed for a small number of parcels. Streetlights and fire hydrants will be required as they develop the property. Mr. Thibault stated they would like to do the irrigation work this winter while the water is out of the canal. Chairman Mink stated he likes that the utilities will be stubbed out going towards the school. Mr. Thibault stated that Canyonside Christian School owns two parcels and their property will be set up for future expansion if needed. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Mr. Thibault went over the design of Lutheran Heights Subdivision and where it will line up with this subdivision. He stated he has not designed the sewer depth at this time but believes it should be deep enough to go out to the east. Testimony in Favor: None. Testimony in Neutral: None. Testimony in Opposition: None. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Jerome City Planning and Zoning Commission having heard the testimony presented, having reviewed the residential preliminary plat application, testimony, and the other documents and material in the file, and having heard the testimony given verbally at the hearing enters its findings and conclusions as follows: I.

Findings and Conclusions for a request from Dale Ross for a Front Yard Setback Variance, located at Lot 1, Blk 1 Dubois Brown Subdivision 64.74’ X 164.54’ (SE 18-8- 17), more commonly known as 824 2nd Avenue East, Jerome, Idaho. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS ON A REQUEST FROM THE DALE ROSS, FOR A FRONT YARD SET BACK VARIANCE FOR LOT 1, BLOCK 1 DEBOIS BROWN SUBDIVISION 64.74’ x 164.54’ (SE18-8-17) ON THE PROPERTY MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS 824 2nd AVENUE EAST, JEROME, IDAHO A public hearing at the request of Dale Ross, for a front yard setback variance on the property commonly known as 824 2nd Avenue East, Jerome, Idaho, was held, pursuant to notice, on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, with all members of the public, in a format allowing participants to hear the meeting, including all deliberations by Commissioners and other speakers addressing the Commission, and to comment if so desired, all of which was noted in the agenda. The physical meeting was held at 100 East Avenue A, Jerome, Idaho. Staff Report: City Planner, Ida Clark, provided staff report and background on this request. Ms. Clark stated the home at 824 2nd Ave East was built in 1979. The original home does not include a front porch. The Jerome Municipal Code (JMC) has been updated several times over the last 45 years. The Applicant requested to build a 10’ x 30’ open front porch connected to the house. The porch would encroach 7.5’ into the front yard setback. The addition of a front porch would not encroach into the 10’ utility easement as shown on the plat. The property in question, 824 2nd Ave East, is currently zoned Residential 2 Per JMC, 17.03.710: Setback Line, “A line established by this title, generally parallel with and measured from the lot line, defining the limits of a yard in which no building or structure may be located aboveground except as may be provided herein.” Setbacks for the R-2 zone are Front 25’, Rear 20’, Side and Street Side 15’. The home is setback 27.5’ from the property line. Per JMC, 17.14.020, B: Note Conditions- Setback reductions (to be measured from the foundation to the property line). No portion of the structure may extend more than three feet into the side yard setback. Open structures such as porches, canopies, balconies, platforms, carports, covered patios, and similar architectural projections shall be considered part of the building to which it is attached and shall not project more than fifteen feet (15') into the required rear yard setback. A garage, carport or other accessory building detached from a residential structure may be constructed within three feet from the rear and side property line within the zones and for the yards indicated. The Code is silent on front porches; therefore, staff will apply the 25’ front yard setback to all structures. ---PAGE BREAK--- Ms. Clark stated the Jerome Municipal Code defines a Variance as “A modification of the requirements of this title as to lot size, lot coverage, width, depth, front yard, side yard, rear yard, setbacks, parking space, height of buildings or other provisions of this title affecting the size or shape of a structure or the placement of the structure upon lots, or the size of lots.” A variance shall not be considered a right or special privilege but may be granted to an applicant only upon a showing of undue hardship because of the characteristics of the site and that the variance is not in conflict with the public interest. The Applicant requests a variance on the front yard setback requirement of 25’ to construct an open front porch. Ms. Clark went over the variance criteria with the Commission. The Commission shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed variance request in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate evidence showing that the requested variance conforms to the following standards. Regarding Standard A- That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. With the home being built in 1979, the setbacks would have been different than they are today. Porches are allowed to extend into the rear and side setbacks. Regarding Standard B- That a literal interpretation of the provisions of this title would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this title. Because the Code is silent on front porch setbacks, it is assumed that the intent was for any structure in the front yard to conform to the 25’ setback. A literal interpretation to comply with the current 25’ setback would deny the Applicant the right to construct an open front porch. Regarding Standard C- That special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the Applicant. The application notes the house was built in 1979 and they purchased the home in 2007. The Applicant did not build the house and would like to make improvements to the home. Regarding Standard D- That granting the variance requested will not confer on the Applicant any special privilege that is denied by this title to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. The application notes granting the variance will not confer any special privilege on the Applicant. The Applicant notes surrounding property owners have signed acknowledging they do not object. They feel it would improve the appearance of the home and the addition will fit the neighborhood. Ms. Clark stated she did not receive comments back from City Staff. ---PAGE BREAK--- If approved, Ms. Clark recommended the following conditions: Front porch will not extend into the side yard or encroach into the 10’ utility easement; and Comply with all City, State, and Federal requirements. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Schroeder, Ms. Clark stated the house is setback 27.5 feet. They are proposing to go about seven feet into that front setback area. Ms. Clark stated they would not be going into the side yard or create any obstruction of site. She also stated the easement is 10 feet from the property line, and this proposal will not encroach into that easement. Applicant Testimony: Dale Ross, resident of Jerome, appeared and testified before the Commission. After being sworn in, Mr. Ross stated he would like to add on a front porch. The Code allows them to put a 10-foot concrete pad or a deck. This is not in conflict with the Code, but they would like to put a roof over it. They will construct it out of wood and they are not going to put a foundation under it. It will just be a porch. Mr. Ross stated from the sidewalk to the house is 31 feet. Upon inquiry from Chairman Mink, Mr. Ross stated they would not have to take any trees but they will be trimming up a small branch. It will not obstruct the site from the corner. Testimony in Favor: Ms. Elliott read the following onto the record: Brenda Blackmon-Jerome, Idaho Supports the application. I personally have no problem with Dale Ross having a front yard setback variance. I have seen nothing but good amazing improvements to his property and I would love to see this happen I truly am for this to happen. Russ & Cheri Martin- Jerome Idaho Supports the application. We cannot see any problem with extending the setback so Dale can build a porch on the front (south) side of his home, it will add to the already well kept home & yard appearance that Dale maintains and will provide needed shade on the front of his home. Testimony in Neutral: None. Testimony in Opposition: None. The Jerome City Planning and Zoning Commission having heard the testimony presented, having reviewed the application, testimony, and the other documents and material in the file, and having heard the testimony given verbally at the hearing enters its findings and conclusions as follows: I. Findings ---PAGE BREAK--- A. The parcel of land commonly known as 824 2nd Avenue East, Jerome, Idaho, is currently zoned Residential 2 B. The R-2 zone pursuant to Title 17 of the City of Jerome Municipal Code, has a front setback of 25 feet, a rear setback of 20 feet, an interior side setback of 15 feet, and a street side setback of 15 feet. C. The purpose of the variance is to allow front yard setback variance to allow the Applicant to build a 10’x30’ open front porch connected to the house. D. Granting this variance will not confer any special privilege on the Applicant, but rather would improve the appearance of the home and the additional would fit the neighborhood. II. Conclusions A. The application is consistent with development standards and objectives for R-2 Zone. B. Not granting the variance as requested in the application would result in an unnecessary hardship—as referenced in Title 17 of the City of Jerome Municipal Code—to the applicant. C. This variance is granted and contingent upon the following: 1. Front porch will not extend into the side yard or encroach into the 10’ utility easement; and 2. Comply with all City, State, and Federal requirements. These findings and conclusions, having been adopted by the Jerome City Planning and Zoning Commission on the 10th day of September 2024, in support of the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission on the 13th day of August 2024, to approve the application for a variance is hereby made final this 10th day of September 2024, subject to appeal by an interested party within the prescribed period under Idaho law.
