The Comprehensive Plan Map designates the property in question as Residential Medium. Ms. Clark went over the Subdivision- Preliminary Plat Criteria with the commission. ---PAGE BREAK--- Regarding 16.16.050L Preliminary Plat, the applicant has provided a complete subdivision application with adequate information to review the preliminary plat. The subdivision application was deemed complete and scheduled for the next available meeting date, which would allow staff to review the application, take comments from other agencies, and properly notify the public of the public hearing. A mailed notice was sent to adjacent property owners on November 20, 2025, as required by code. The following agencies were sent notice regarding the proposed subdivision: Idaho Power, Intermountain Gas, School District, Jerome County, Northside Canal Co. and the Post Office. Northside Canal Co. responded with no further comments received. City departments, including Building, Engineering, Fire, Public Works, and Wastewater, were allowed to comment on this application. Comments were minor and have been corrected. Regarding 16.28.040: Lot Requirements, as allowed in a PUD and as approved in the Special Use Permit, the lots have been reduced to 2,475 -2,772 square feet for the townhomes and from 4,525 – 4,750 square feet for the single-family homes.

Ms. Clark stated that the previous concerns for the property that were brought up at the Special Use Permit meeting have been addressed. Regarding 17.40.060: Planned Unit Development, Common Open Space, Ms. Clark stated that a minimum of 10% of the gross land area in any residential PUD shall be reserved for common open space.

Chairman Mink stated developments like this are becoming more common. Commissioner Johnson stated he wanted to make sure the Fire Department approves. Ms. Clark stated that they do approve this application. Ms. Clark presented the Final Development Plan to the commission. This request includes three parcels.

Regarding 17.40.160: Recommendation by Commission of Final Development Plan, Ms. Clark stated within forty-five days after receipt of the final development plan, the commission shall recommend to the council that the final development plan be approved as presented, approved with supplementary conditions, or disapproved. The commission shall find that the ---PAGE BREAK--- facts submitted with the application and presented to them establish that: The proposed development can be initiated within one year of the date of approval from Council; The total development can exist as an independent unit capable of creating an environment of sustained desirability and stability, or that adequate assurance will be provided that such objective will be attained, and the uses proposed will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses, but will have a beneficial effect which would not be achieved under standard district regulations; The streets and thoroughfares proposed are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic, and increased densities will not generate traffic in such amounts as to overload the street network outside the PUD; Any exception from standard district requirements is warranted by the design and other amenities incorporated in the final development plan, in accordance with the PUD and the adopted policy of the council; The area surrounding said development can be planned and zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with the proposed development; The PUD is in general conformance with the comprehensive plan; and The existing and proposed utility services are adequate for the population densities. Ms. Clark stated staff recommends approval of the final development plan to the City Council. Commissioner Johnson asked whether the school district provided any input on this project regarding traffic. Ms. Clark stated the school district received the notice but did not provide any comment. The flow of traffic was changed earlier this year, and it is believed that it has helped. Chairman Mink stated that there will be no driveways on 10th from the townhouses. Ms. Clark confirmed no driveways on 10th, as they will be on the private driveway to the south, so kids will be able to walk to school safely. Commissioner Johnson inquired of fencing around the development. Ms. Clark stated there would be fencing and that the applicant would address it. Applicant testimony: Anna Canning, Boise resident, thanked the commission on meeting in December. She stated she recently saw the commission and believes it has a good grasp of the application. Regarding the fence, Ms. Canning stated that the property perimeter will be fenced, except for the driveways. Regarding the setbacks, she stated that they are requesting reduced setbacks for the interior side. All perimeter setbacks will be as code, except for the school owned field, where they are requesting a five-foot setback instead of seven. Ms. Canning went over the layout of the townhouses. She stated they have had to redo the layout a couple of times for the fire department, but they really like how the development has turned out. Commissioner Reed asked whether there was a walkway to 10th Street. Ms. Canning stated that the sidewalk through the property will not be fenced off, allowing access to 10th. Commissioner Reed inquired who would be taking care of the landscaping. Ms. Canning stated that the HOA will be doing the landscaping per the CC&Rs, but it is not yet complete. She knows they have decided to take care of the townhouses and open spaces, but they have not decided whether the single-family houses will take care of their own yards. Upon Commissioner Johnson's inquiry, Ms. Canning stated that the HOA will be responsible for four open recreation areas. ---PAGE BREAK--- Testimony in Favor: None Testimony in Neutral: None Testimony in Opposition: Ms. Elliott read the following onto the record: Bill Hepworth Resident of Jerome Oppose the application Already have too many apartments duplex’s in this area. Too much traffic with schools and apartments another complex will make it even worse. There’s never enough parking at apartments and people end up parking on streets when they can’t find space. Definitely do not want PUD approved. Kim Orr Resident of Jerome Oppose the application Have enough traffic in the area This just adds more traffic to already busy streets Schools already add too much congestion How about single dwell homes instead. Rebuttal Testimony: Ms. Canning stated that they are townhouses, not apartments, with a two-car garage and 20-foot pads behind every house. This will allow for parking spaces on their property. Among single-family homes, fewer than half are townhomes. Chairman Mink stated that if it were a conventional subdivision, there would be almost 20 lots; this is not asking for triple the homes. Ms. Clark stated no with this PUD; they could have a higher density, but they are not requesting that with this application. There being no other testimony in favor, neutral, or in opposition, Chairman Mink closed the Public Hearing at 6:32 p.m. Consider a request from Centurion Engineers, Inc for a Residential Planned Unit Development (PUD) Preliminary Plat/ Final Development Plan, on the property described as follows: Parcel 1: Parcel ID Number RPJ13702340020A, Tax 2 of A-234 Inside acreage (NE-18-16), more commonly known as the bare property on the southwest corner of North Birch and 10th Avenue West in Jerome, Idaho; and Parcel 2 and 3: Parcel ID Numbers RPJ13702320090A and RPJ13702320100A Tax 9 &10 Blk 232 Jerome Townsite (NE 13-8-16), more commonly known as 328 8th Ave West, Jerome, Idaho—action item. Ms. Clark asked the commission to make sure the facts are included in the motion and that they approve of those facts. Upon inquiry from Chairman Mink, Ms. Clark stated that the ---PAGE BREAK--- commission could approve the Preliminary Plat and recommend the Final Development Plan. Chairman Mink inquired if Mr. Nix was satisfied with the resolution of the water runoff. Mr. Jackson stated he was. A discussion was held on water runoff. Commissioner Johnson stated he is in favor of this application. Commissioner Reed agreed with Commissioner Johnson that this application is very thorough. Ms. Clark clarified that the commission agreed that the application meets the facts that were presented. A discussion was held on the facts for the application. The Commission agreed that the facts were addressed and are acceptable. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Ms. Clark stated that she has 45 days to make a recommendation to City Council and that she would like the completed CC&Rs to be available to the council. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the Preliminary Plat and recommend the Final Development Plan to city council, for a residential planned unit development, finding that the plat and development plan: Can be initiated within one year of the date of approval from city council; The total development can exist as an independent unit capable of creating an environment of sustained desirability and stability, and the uses proposed will have a beneficial effect which would not be achieved under standard district regulations; The streets and thoroughfares proposed are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic, and the proposed density will not generate traffic in such amounts as to overload the street network outside the PUD; Any exception from standard district requirements is warranted by the design and other amenities incorporated in the final development plan, in accordance with the PUD and the adopted policy; The area surrounding said development can be planned and zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with the proposed development; The PUD is in general conformance with the comprehensive plan; The existing and proposed utility services are adequate for the density; and the CC&R’s to be finalized within 45 days for City Council. Seconded by Commissioner Fraser and carried. After consideration, the motion passed by the following votes: AYE: Commissioner Reed, Commissioner Fraser, and Commissioner Johnson. NAYE: None. Chairman Mink called the Public Hearing to order at 6:40 p.m. Public Hearing for a request from Sara Cromer for a Front Yard Variance for a porch, on the property described as Lot 1, Blk 62 Jerome Townsite (SW 18-8-17), more commonly known as 329 2nd Avenue East, Jerome, Idaho. Staff Report: Ms. Clark stated the home at 329 2nd Ave East was built in the 1950s or 1960s. The original house has a front porch that was built several years ago. We have been unable to find any permits for the front porch. The Jerome Municipal Code (JMC) has been updated several times over the last 30 years. The applicant requested rebuilding and expanding the porch to the full length of the house. The porch will encroach into the front yard setback by about four feet. The front porch would not encroach on any easements. ---PAGE BREAK--- The property in question, 329 2nd Ave East, is currently zoned Residential 2 Front setbacks for the R-2 zone are 25 and are measured from the foundation to the property line. The home is setback 25’ from the front and 15’ from the streetside property lines. Per JMC, 17.14.020, B: Note Conditions, Ms. Clark stated the JMC addresses structures on the rear or side of the home, but does not address front structures. Staff then has to apply the full front yard setbacks to all structures. Ms. Clark presented the definition of a variance in the JMC and the criteria for a variance to the commission. Regarding Criteria A- That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or building involved and which do not apply to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. The home is existing and already has an attached open front porch. Porches are allowed to extend into the rear and side setbacks; however, the code is silent on front porches. Regarding Criteria 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 Criteria C. That special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. The application notes that the house was built several years ago and had an existing front porch that did not have any permits. The applicant did not build the house and would like to make improvements to the home. Regarding Criteria 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. They feel it would improve the home's appearance, and the addition will fit the neighborhood. This process will also have a permitted porch that complies with the building, planning & and zoning code. Ms. Clark stated they will need to keep the street side setback as it is a corner lot and it is noted that the porch will expand the length of the house only. It will not encroach on the street side setback. Staff has reviewed the application and they have no concerns with the expansion of the porch. If approved, Ms. Clark recommended the following conditions: Front porch will not extend into the street side yard setback or encroach more than five feet into the front yard setback; and Comply with all City, State, and Federal requirements. ---PAGE BREAK--- Upon Commissioner Johnson's inquiry, Ms. Clark stated that the porch exists and that the applicant wants to rebuild it. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Ms. Clark showed the commission where the property lines were approximately on the provided map. The house is set back 25’ from their property line, and the property line starts at the edge of the sidewalk. There is a large right-of-way along that road. Applicant testimony: Bridger Smith, Kimberly resident, stated the homeowners approached him to extend a portion of the house to match the front of the porch. He stated he was not approached about rebuilding the porch. He stated the porch is about six feet deep. He stated they would like to extend their living room on the right front corner, to gain about 200 sq ft of living space. Commissioner Reed stated that this is not what was presented by staff. Commissioner Johnson confirmed that Mr. Smith was approached about expanding the house. Mr. Smith affirmed and stated the foundation would change. Ms. Clark stated that the applicant provided a letter regarding their front porch, but did not mention any house expansion. After confirming with legal counsel, Ms. Clark stated the applicant will have to re-apply and the new application will have to re-noticed as the Public Hearing was noticed for the porch and not an addition to the house. Chairman Mink closed the Public Hearing at 6:54 p.m., as the application did not conform to the advertised requirements. Chairman Mink stated they would not be considering the previous Public Hearing, as it was closed due to confusion from the applicant and the contractor. A new public hearing notice would need to be done. Ms. Clark stated she had the applicant for the Design Review for 1016 South Lincoln on Zoom and inquired whether they could move that item up so they could hear it before the next two Public Hearings, as they are code amendments. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to amend the agenda to move the Design Review up. Second to the motion was Commissioner Fraser, and carried. After consideration, the motion passed by the following votes: AYE: Commissioner Reed, Commissioner Fraser, and Commissioner Johnson. NAYE: None. Consider a Design Review for 1016 South Lincoln, Jerome, Idaho- action item Staff report: Ms. Clark gave a brief background on the Tesla Superchargers. She stated there are is a charger in Twin Falls. Jerome City code does not specifically address charging stations, so she compares this use to other uses that are similar. Ms. Clark stated she determined they did not need a SUP because the traffic is comparable to that already in the ---PAGE BREAK--- grocery store parking lot. She wanted to bring this application to the commission for Design Review approval. Ms. Clark stated that Tesla Supercharger would like to install eight superchargers and a transformer pad in the northwest parking lot of Ridley’s grocery store. The parcel is located within the Design Overlay District. There will be eight supercharge posts and trash bins. All existing landscape, including the trees and grass area on S. Lincoln and East Ave I will remain. The Ridley’s parking area has a shared parking lot with other businesses. While eight will be reserved for Tesla charging, several other parking spaces are available. Also, these parking spots are the furthest from Ridley's entrance. Ms. Clark went over the layout with the commission, using the provided picture. Chairman Mink inquired about colors. Brian Sliger, representing Tesla from Seattle via Zoom, stated the colors are all white with black Tesla lettering. They are newer units than the ones in Twin Falls. They are prefab units placed on a concrete slab, with power running from the transformer to the charging units. Commissioner Johnson inquired how the payments are made. Mr. Sliger stated that payments are made within the vehicles themselves or via an app for most major manufacturers. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Mr. Sliger stated they have agreements with most of the major manufacturers of electric vehicles (EV), but not all. They are working to get some kinks worked out for those they do not have agreements with. Mr. Sliger stated that they are a newer design of the charge posts. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Mr. Sliger stated that they have been working with Idaho Power across the State and that there is plenty of amperage in the current system. He stated there is a line close to the property they will be able to connect. Chairman Mink inquired about how the chargers clean up after being tagged. Mr. Sliger stated that they have a service team in Boise that can respond quickly to replace the outside panels if needed. They also have enough traffic where someone can report problems on the app for a fast response. Commissioner Reed inquired whether there were any staff concerns. Ms. Clark stated there was only one issue with a bollard that had already been addressed. Commissioner Johnson inquired about the security around the children. A discussion was held on power for neighboring facilities. Mr. Sliger stated the charging posts were only charged when in use. Commissioner Reed made a motion to approve the Design Review for Tesla Supercharger at 1016 S Lincoln, Jerome, ID, as proposed in the application. Seconded by Commissioner Johnson and carried. After consideration, the motion passed by the following votes: AYE: Commissioner Reed, Commissioner Fraser, and Commissioner Johnson. NAYE: None. ---PAGE BREAK--- Chairman Mink called the Public Hearing to order at 7:11 p.m. Public Hearing for AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF JEROME, IDAHO, CREATING TITLE 16 CHAPTER 16.22, LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS OF THE JEROME MUNICIPAL CODE; PROVIDING FOR AN ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS; PROVIDING AN APPEAL AND HOW TO CORRECT VIOLATIONS PROCESS; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Staff Report: Ms. Clark stated the current Jerome Municipal Code is silent on lot line adjustments. This is the process of moving the boundaries of existing lots, without increasing or reducing the number of parcels. We have been using an administrative procedure that is approved by Public Works, the Engineer, and Planning and Zoning to ensure compliance with the current municipal code and infrastructure. We have recently received pushback and incomplete information, making it challenging to ensure the adjustments meet code requirements. This language will give the applicant, surveyors, and staff a process to follow to ensure compliance. Jerome County shared their language to help. Ms. Clark stated that they have noticed some lot lines have been changed, but the legal description has not. This can cause issues down the road for future buildings and future property sales. Ms. Clark stated this is the same language as Jerome County, which is the official record. There being no other testimony in favor, neutral, or in opposition, Chairman Mink closed the Public Hearing at 7:18 p.m. Consider a request for AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF JEROME, IDAHO, CREATING TITLE 16 CHAPTER 16.22, LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS OF THE JEROME MUNICIPAL CODE; PROVIDING FOR AN ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS; PROVIDING AN APPEAL AND HOW TO CORRECT VIOLATIONS PROCESS; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE —action item. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to recommend approval to the City Council that Title 16 be amended by adding Chapter 16.22, Lot Line Adjustments. Seconded by Commissioner Fraser and carried. After consideration, the motion passed by the following votes: AYE: Commissioner Reed, Commissioner Fraser, and Commissioner Johnson. NAYE: None. Chairman Mink called the Public Hearing to order at 7:21 p.m. Public Hearing for AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF JEROME, IDAHO, AMENDING JEROME MUNICIPAL CODE SECTIONS: 17.03.005, ADDING TO THE ACCESSORY USE OR STRUCTURE DEFINITION; 17.14.020, ADDING SETBACKS FOR FRONT PORCHES AND ---PAGE BREAK--- MINIMUM FRONT LOT WIDTH; 17.18.020, REQUIRING FRONT ENTRANCES; 17.18.030, CLARIFYING FENCES IN THE FRONT YARD; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Staff Report: Ms. Clark stated these are just clean-up items, as they have been coming up frequently. She stated she would like to provide a comprehensive overview of Title 17 as a whole, but for now she will update certain items as they come up. Regarding 17.03.005 Accessory Structure, Ms. Clark stated they have received numerous requests to allow containers, railroad cars, or semitrailers to be used as accessory structures. She stated that she is requesting the following language be added: Cargo, shipping containers, railroad cars, or semitrailers are not allowed as stand-alone accessory structures in residential zones, but may be used as the internal frame of an accessory building that meets all architectural standards (pitched roof, siding to match house, etc.) Cargo or shipping containers may be allowed in commercial and industrial zones, provided they are neutral in color and not stacked. Discussion was held on the areas in town that have containers already in use, if the containers would be “grandfathered” in, placing containers in the front yard, only allowing in commercial zones and not in residential zones, stacking containers, allowing containers by SUP, difference between a container and a poorly built shed, meeting building code with containers, use of the containers (storage at residential or commercial, storage units as a business), colors of the containers, stacking containers in commercial areas, and turning containers into houses. Ms. Clark stated she will research use vs. accessory structure, industrial use, and container stacking, and will bring the information back to the commission. Regarding 17.14.020 Schedule of Building Height and Lot Area Regulations, Ms. Clark stated they have had some questions regarding front porches and setbacks. She went over the proposed language with the commission. “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 and shall not encroach more than 10 feet into the front yard setback or easement, whichever is greater. Visibility shall not be impeded on corner lots”. This language would allow a property owner to build a porch 10’ into the front yard setback without a variance. Discussion was held on foundation vs. blocks, whether a porch can be considered livable space, and extending front porches at the end of the house. Regarding 17.18.020: SUPPLEMENTAL GENERAL PROVISIONS, Ms. Clark stated that this adds a new provision by requiring single-family homes to have a front door and porch facing a street. This requirement is common in several other cities, like Twin Falls and Idaho Falls. It eliminates “crowding” in homes on narrow lots. She would like to add the following language Any lots within the residential zones shall have a minimum front lot width of 50 feet. Flag or cul-de-sac lots shall be a minimum of 25 feet. This is not intended to restrict infill development or rebuilding on the original townsite lots (25 feet in width). The administrator will work with ---PAGE BREAK--- an applicant in residential zones where the 25-foot original townsite exists. If no other options are available, 25 feet shall be allowed. All other applicable code shall apply.” She stated she doesn’t want to restrict building, but have them comply as much as possible. Discussion was held on adding language to look at the surrounding area and what their front lots are, asking the commission for smaller than 50 feet, adding the current language to help with infill projects, and having a percentage of lots that meet the 50 feet width. Ms. Clark stated she will return to the commission with different language regarding the minimum front lot width. Regarding 17.18.020: Supplemental General Provisions, Ms. Clark stated that there is a subdivision that has created a look that is not wanted to continue within the city. She would like to add the following language: “ A. Each single-family unit must have a primary entrance facing the street with a porch or landing.” This prevents narrow homes from having their front doors on the side. This will make the lots a little bigger to accommodate. Regarding 17.18.030: Supplemental Yard and Height Regulations, Ms. Clark stated she has received many complaints about fences. She stated she talked with public safety and police regarding this code. They would like to keep the maximum of 3’ for a solid fence for safety reasons. She would like to replace the current code with the following language: “Front yard solid fences shall not be over three feet in height and can be placed on the property line and out of any easements. Front yard fences that do not impede vision, wrought iron or chain link, may be up to four and placed on the property line and out of any easements. Interior and corner lot fences must maintain the three or four foot fence for 20’ and then can transition to six feet Discussion was held on how the code was interpreted, including higher fencing for wrought iron or chain link, having higher fencing in other cultures, fencing over six feet needing a building permit, the materials the fencing is made of, backyards facing main roads, and adding material between the chain link fencing. Chairman Mink stated he would like to keep the three to four-foot fencing in the front. Commissioner Reed stated he was okay with having a six-foot fence in the front as long as it is wrought iron or chain link. Commissioner Fraser stated she is also okay with having a six-foot fence in the front as long as it is wrought iron or chain link. Ms. Clark stated she will bring the amendments back to the commission with updates. There being no other testimony in favor, neutral, or in opposition, Chairman Mink closed the Public Hearing at 8:03 p.m. Consider a request for AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF JEROME, IDAHO, AMENDING JEROME MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION SECTIONS: 17.03.005, ADDING TO THE ACCESSORY USE OR STRUCTURE DEFINITION; 17.14.020, ADDING SETBACKS FOR FRONT PORCHES AND MINIMUM FRONT LOT WIDTH; 17.18.020, REQUIRING FRONT ENTRANCES; ---PAGE BREAK--- 17.18.030, CLARIFYING FENCES IN THE FRONT YARD; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE—action item.

The parcels in question are currently zoned Residential II. The proposed use, a residential Planned Unit Development, requires a Special Use Permit from the Planning and Zoning Commission as detailed in 17.14.010. III. Regardless of use, setbacks in the R-3 zone are: 1. Front: 25’, Rear 20’, Interior Side Side Street 15’ 2. Minimum lot size: 5,000 sq. ft. IV. Planned Unit Developments allow for a variety of housing, permitting reduced lot dimensions, yards, and building setbacks, with an increase in open space and increased landscape, with clustering of buildings encouraged. V. 17.40.040 and 17.40.050, Uses Permitted and Minimum Area: residential uses are allowed with a minimum of three acres. VI. 17.40.060, Common Open Space: a minimum of 10% of the gross land area in any residential PUD shall be reserved for common open space. VII. Regarding review of the Special Use Permit, the Commission shall consider the following General Standards for Special Uses, JMC 17.60.030: i. Will, in fact, constitute a special use as established in section 17.60.060 of this chapter for the zoning district involved; ii. Will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or with any specific objective of the comprehensive plan and/or this title; iii. Will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity, and that such use will not change the essential character of the same area; iv. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses; v. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse ---PAGE BREAK--- disposal, water and sewer and schools; or that the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use shall be able to provide adequately any such services; vi. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services, and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community; vii. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors; viii. Will have vehicular approaches to the property, which shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares; ix. Will not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of a natural, scenic, or historic feature of major importance. Conclusion: 1. The Residential PUD is 3.68 and has planned 22.6% of open space. Exceeding the minimum requirements. 2. The application is requesting reduced lot sizes and setbacks to accommodate clustering of homes and green space. The Density calculation in the R-3 zone for individual ownership of dwelling units is the total square footage of the project area divided by the minimum lot size in square feet in the zone. This PUD is 160,300.8 sq ft (3.68 acres) / 5,000 sq ft (R-3) = 32.1, allowing 32 dwelling units. The project proposes 28 dwelling units meeting the density calculation. Twenty- seven are new units with the existing house remaining. 3. Hearing testimony about concerns of additional apartments, the application, and the applicant confirmed these are single-family townhomes and single-family homes on individual lots. They are not apartments, and the density is also below the permitted units for the zone. 4. As pertains to the Comprehensive Plan, the proposed PUD complies with Chapter 4, Our Built Environment, in that Residential Medium is defined as areas that encourage a mix of housing types and PUDs, specifically Objective 4.3: Diversify the variety of housing types within the City, while protecting existing neighborhoods. As proposed, the PUD will feature townhomes facing 10th Avenue West, transitioning to smaller single-family homes that blend with the existing homes on 8th Avenue West. This also aligns with Objective 4.3.c: Encourage new housing developments that provide a mix of duplexes, townhomes, and age-in-place options that include walkable design and access to community amenities and healthcare. As proposed, the PUD features a mix of ---PAGE BREAK--- housing that will connect the sidewalk to N. Lincoln, other amenities, and St. Luke’s on 5th Ave. West. 5. As pertains to the General Standards for Special Uses: The Commission agrees that the PUD, as proposed, with different housing types, green space, and connectivity, does meet the goals of the Comprehensive plan. The PUD plan does create a harmonious blend with the existing neighborhood and schools. Hearing testimony about concerns with flooding, the developer has reviewed this, and plans have been made to accommodate stormwater, which should alleviate the flooding that has been occurring. While there will be an increase in traffic, this is a regular occurrence with new housing developments; there are two access points from Birch and 8th Avenue West. Traffic should not be detrimental. Adequate services are available, and the developer is responsible for making any necessary utility improvements, without creating a burden to others in the community. 6. The commission agrees that the preliminary PUD plan meets the general standards for special uses and the Comprehensive plan by advancing the general welfare of the community by providing a variety of housing. The plan justifies a deviation from the standard code in terms of reduced setbacks and lot size in the R-3 zone, allowing for a more unique design plan and open space that is harmonious with the existing neighborhood. 7. The Commission, having heard the testimony presented and having reviewed the Application, and the other documents and material in the file, approves the Special Use Permit for a residential planned unit development and approves the Preliminary Plan in principle.

Jerome Municipal Code, Title 17, Zoning Regulation, does not address a request to deannex. IV. It was determined to hold two public hearings, as we would with a request to annex. One to the Planning and Zoning Commission to provide the City Council with a recommendation to consider at a public hearing. V. The Commission shall consider: i. Will the proposed zone have any detrimental effects on the City’s or any other public entity’s ability to provide public services to the annexed land? ii. Is the proposed amendment consistent with the policies of the adopted comprehensive plan? Conclusion: 1. The Commission reviewed that the parcel is unique in that parcels to the east and south are located in the county. None of the parcels to the south have a connection to the city’s water or sewer, as it is not available in 50 North Road. 2. The Parcel in question is bare with no improvements, and there are no connections to the city’s water or sewer system. 3. The City does not have a current annexation plan. 4. There is no impact on the policies of the comprehensive plan for this request, as the property would return to the Area of City Impact and remove islands that this parcel has created within the City boundaries. 5. The Commission, having heard no testimony in favor, neutral, or against the application, hearing the applicant's testimony and having reviewed the Application, and the other documents and material in the file, recommends approval to the City Council of the request to deannex 3.51 acres.
