Background: 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. II. Adjacent Land Use/Zoning Table: III. The Comprehensive Plan: The Future Land Use Map designates parcel one as Public and parcel two as Residential Low. Staff Report I. As pertains to Title 17 of the JMC, the Land Use Ordinance: a. The proposed zone to Public/Semi-Public, would allow for public service facilities, parks, emergency services, and museums and the rezone to Residential 2 allows for single-family homes and duplexes as detailed in 17.14.010 of the JMC. b. All land use regulations as detailed in Title 17 of the JMC will apply to the property, including but not limited to setbacks and building height restrictions. The current zoning of R-2 setbacks are: Front 25’, Rear 20’, Interior Side and Street Side 15’. The setback for PS are: Front 25’, Rear 20’, Interior Side 20’, and Street Side 20’. II. As required by 17.80.040, GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR AMENDMENTS, the application for a rezone shall be reviewed by the Commission to determine if the request: 1. Is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan; 2. Will create a demand for public infrastructure that is not currently available, including municipal sewer and water services; 3. Is compatible with the zoning uses in the surrounding areas; and 4. No non-conforming uses will be created.

As pertains to the City of Jerome’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: i. The request is in accordance with Chapter 1: Property Rights. 1. There is no “taking” and the request does not require property owners to dedicate any portion of the property or grant an easement. It does not appear the request would significantly impact the landowner’s economic interest. The request appears to meet the checklist of the Attorney General. ii. The request is in accordance with Chapter 4; Our Built Environment. iii. Both parcels were found to comply with the Comprehensive Plan during annexation and initial zoning. b. As pertains to the demand for public infrastructure that is not currently available, including municipal sewer and water services: i. The rezone is a clean-up from lot line adjustment. There is no additional demand for public infrastructure that hasn’t already been planned. c. As pertains to the compatibility with the zoning uses in the surrounding areas: i. The rezone is a cleanup due to a lot line adjustment. The zones are compatible with surrounding zones and established uses. d. As pertains to the creation of non-conforming uses i. Neither request creates a non-conforming use. ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- PUBLIC NOTICE AFFIDAVIT I/we, Kff1ig Fllin+l , certify that on 1 ' li i narne(s) date of rnailing (at leait 15 days prior to hearing) the attached Notice of Public I{earing was mailed to all propefiy owners within 1500 f"etofthepropertylo"atedatM mgd 5,8 s-Do lcr,+ t t Sent: Monday, July 15, 2024 3:34 PM To: Clark Pierson <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Cc: Jerry Higley <[EMAIL REDACTED]>; Josiah Higley <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Subject: RE: SUP for TrailMax Good afternoon, Thank you for the application.

Ms. Elliott read the following onto the record: Kristen Hernandez- Jerome, Idaho Supports the application I am fine with people keeping hens. I would only have a problem with keeping roosters due to noise. William Wood- Jerome, Idaho Supports the application- no further comment was provided. Oppose the application- Carroll Ren, Jerome, Idaho, after being sworn in, stated the applicants have had the chickens for quite some time. She is not sure if it is the breed or not, but they are the loudest chickens. She lives next door and they are on both the back fence and side fence. She stated they must be getting three laying’s per chicken. By the time they have laid their eggs, it is nerve racking. Ms. Ren stated they are only loud during the day when she is home. She stated the noise is bothering her. She can’t stand to hear five chickens in labor, seven days a week, three times a day. She does not like it. She said it sounds like they are in excruciating pain. They started with no permit, but now they have applied for it. Their chicken facility will need to be moved from the fence. Ms. Ren stated she has no peace during the day. Upon inquiry from Chairman Mink, Ms. Ren stated it is only through the day as they do not have a set time. It is usually between 9:00 and 4:00. She assumes each chicken is laying two or three eggs a day. Rebuttal Testimony: Mr. Hodson stated they are chickens and they make noise. He is taken back by the comments. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Mr. Hodson stated they got the chickens last spring after speaking with some neighbors who had chickens. They were not aware they needed a permit until recently. Ms. Clark stated they received an anonymous call regarding the chickens and the applicant complied once they were contacted. There being no other testimony in favor, neutral, or in opposition, Chairman Mink closed the Public Hearing at 7:24 p.m. ---PAGE BREAK--- Consider a request from Jessica Hodson for a Special Use Permit allowing six hen chickens, on the property described as Tax 2205445 of Blk A-176 Jerome Townsite (NE 19-8-17), more commonly known as 706 East Avenue H, Jerome, Idaho- action item Commissioner Schroeder acknowledged chickens make noise as he has chickens and two of them make a lot of noise. He stated it is difficult with animals as you can’t train them. He stated noise is a concern which is why the commission limits the number to six and only hens. The benefits of chickens is raising your own food. It is hard to regulate them. He acknowledges the concerns. Commissioner Schroeder made a motion to approve the Special Use Permit from Jessica Hodson, allowing six hen chickens on the property more commonly known as 706 East Ave H, Jerome with the following conditions: Any remaining roosters must be removed immediately from the property; Chickens will not create odors, excessive noise, nor be detrimental to persons, property or the general welfare; Can possess up to six hen chickens with no roosters; and Special use permit shall be allowed for up to two years, renewable upon expiration.

As detailed in 17.18.050: Unique Land Uses, Retail Sales, Farm Stand And Agricultural Tourism Activities: Retail sales including farm stands, and agricultural tourism shall be subordinate to the growing of crops; At least seventy-five percent (75%) of the products sold at the farm stand or agricultural tourism activity shall be grown or produced on the site where the farm stand is located; Adequate and safe conditions for off street parking to serve the farm stand or agricultural tourism shall be provided; Parking and internal driveways shall not be located on or adjacent to combustible surfaces or materials; Structures, signs, merchandise, or any other material utilized in the operation of the farm stand or agricultural tourism activity shall not interfere with the clear vision triangle; and the operation of the farm stand or agricultural tourism activity shall not be ---PAGE BREAK--- conducted within the public right of way, unless otherwise authorized by the city. Regardless of use, setbacks for detached accessory structures on the property will not be less than three feet from the rear or side property lines. As pertains to the City of Jerome’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Ms. Clark stated the request complies with the Comprehensive Plan as relates to Chapter 3, Our Natural Environment, Objective 3.3.j. Consider provisions in the zoning ordinance for rural residential uses in city limits to include some agricultural activity and limited animal husbandry. This request also complies with the Comprehensive Plan as relates to Chapter 6, Our Quality of Life Goal: Foster a supportive, health, 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 went over the General Standards for Special Uses with the commission. Regarding Standard A- Will, in fact, constitute a special use as established in section 17.60.060 of this chapter for the zoning district involved. The Planning and Zoning Code allows agriculture tourism in the R-1 zone with an approved special use permit. Regarding Standard B- Will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or with any specific objective of the comprehensive plan and/or this title. The request appears to be harmonious with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and Title 17 of the Jerome Municipal Code. Regarding Standard C- 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. The application notes the flowers will be grown in the backyard using sustainable farming methods. The application states they are not requesting to use high-tunnels at this time, ensuring that it will not change the intended character. Further, the application states, the roadside stand will include at least 75% of their products, will not be placed in the right-of-way. The roadside stand and signage are together. The roadside stand is temporary and will be placed out during the selling season of approximately mid-April through mid-October. Regarding Standard D- Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses. The application states flower farming is quiet with low odor. Organic farming practices will be applied such as compost, cover crops, natural pest deterrents, landscaping fabric, and drip irrigation. Regarding Standard E- Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse 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. No ---PAGE BREAK--- additional services will be needed to serve this use. The property has .71 acre of water shares with NSCC. Regarding Standard F- 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. This use will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost. Regarding Standard G- 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. The application notes there will not be flammable or explosive materials stored on the property, and there will be no vibration, glare, or water pollution. There will be some noise related to lawnmowers and tillers which is common in residential neighborhoods. Regarding Standard H- Will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares. This request will not impact vehicular approaches. There are four off-street parking spaces available for customers. Customers may spend 5-7 minutes. This reduces the impact on traffic in the neighborhood. Regarding Standard I- Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. It does not appear that this use of the floriculture or roadside stand on this parcel will result in the destruction, loss, or damage of a natural, scenic, or historic feature of major importance. If approved, Ms. Clark recommended the following conditions: At least two off-street parking spaces shall be maintained for customers; Roadside stand shall not be placed in the right of way; and Special Use Permit shall be allowed for two years, renewable upon expiration. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Ms. Clark showed where the stand would be located on the property on the map. It will not be within the right-of-way. Upon inquiry from Chairman Mink, Ms. Clark showed where the right-of-way is on the map. Ms. Clark stated 4th Avenue Drive is by Jefferson Elementary and pretty secluded. Applicant Testimony: Melissa Turnblom, Jerome resident, after being sworn in, stated they live on ¾ of an acre. She loves to garden and grow flowers. She stated most flowers that are sold in stores are grown in South American countries. She wants to bring agriculture closer to home. She does not have any loud implements that she can put into her backyard beside an ATV to harrow with. The noise will be minimal. Planting and harvesting will be done by hand. Ms. Turnblom went over her future plans and expansion within the next few years with the commission. She stated the first year will be very small as she may do about 10 bouquets a week. She would like to get up to 40 bouquets a week and have two days she is open. Ms. Turnblom stated the pickup window will be long so not all customers would be picking up at the ---PAGE BREAK--- same time. She has talked with her neighbors regarding the parking and she wants to keep an open relationship with them and will address concerns when they come up. Upon inquiry from Chairman Mink regarding the placement of the stand, Ms. Turnblom stated she would like to experiment with the placement but right now, it is positioned to be in the shade as heat is detrimental for cut flowers. Upon inquiry from Chairman Mink, Ms. Turnblom stated her driveway is gravel, as is the parking in front of her house. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Ms. Clark stated any structures would need to meet setbacks but the garden can be placed up to the property line. Ms. Turnblom stated there are pine trees at the back of her property. Ms. Clark stated the commission could allow her to put the stand within the right of way if they would like to. Commissioner Fraser stated she believes Ms. Turnblom has the stand in the proper spot which also has signage that normally isn’t allowed in the residential area. Commissioner Johnson agreed the shade is a good spot. Commissioner Reed stated he agreed. He stated she will probably do most of her marketing online and may not need the “in your face” signage. Testimony in Favor: Ms. Elliott read the following onto the record: Hallie Reed- Jerome, Idaho Support the application- no further comment was provided. William Ploplis- Jerome, Idaho Supports the application This would be great for the community as we don’t have many places, without having to leave town to go and get flowers that are grown locally. Having this not only supports our local economy but would provide residents with fresh seasonal blooms while fostering a sense of community pride. There being no other testimony in favor, neutral, or in opposition, Chairman Mink closed the Public Hearing at 7:43 p.m. Consider a request from Melissa Turnblom for a Special Use Permit allowing Agricultural Tourism for the growing of flowers and a self-serve farm stand on the property described as Lot 24 Van Mor Heights Acreages (SE 18-8-17), more commonly known as 929 4th Avenue Dr, Jerome, Idaho- action item Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the Special Use Permit from Melissa Turnblom, allowing the growing of flowers and a self-serve farm stand on the property more commonly known as 929 4th Ave Dr., Jerome with the following conditions: At least two off- street parking spaces shall be maintained for customers; Roadside stand shall not be placed in the right of way; and Special Use Permit shall be allowed for two years, renewable upon expiration. Second by Commissioner Schroeder and carried. ---PAGE BREAK--- After consideration, the motion passed by the following votes: AYE: Commissioner Jeff Schroeder, Commissioner Ben Reed, Commissioner Shonna Fraser, and Commissioner Paul Johnson. NAYE: None Chairman Mink called the Public Hearing to order at 7:45 p.m. Public Hearing for a request from David Ellis for a Special Use Permit allowing multi-family housing, up to 258 apartments, on the property described in Appendix A, more commonly known as 2336 South Lincoln Avenue, 216 East Yakima, 300 East Yakima Avenue and the empty parcel directly to the north of 300 East Yakima Avenue, Jerome, Idaho. Staff report: Ms. Clark stated the properties in question are currently zoned High- Density Business The proposed use, multi-family dwellings (five or more units), requires a Special Use Permit from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Regardless of use, setbacks for this property are as follows: Front- 25’; Rear- 10’; Interior Side- 12’; and Side Street- 25’. There is no minimum lot size but the whole project cannot exceed 80% of the total lot area. The maximum height is 50’. Ms. Clark stated Title 16 has no bearing on this Special Use Permit request. As pertains to the City of Jerome’s Comprehensive Plan, Ms. Clark stated the request is in accordance with Chapter 4. Our Built Environment, “Enhance our built environment to offer a harmonious blend of land uses that serve our entire community, residents, and visitors, now and in the future.”; Objective 4.3: Diversify the variety of housing types within the City, while protecting existing neighborhoods; 4.3.e Consider zoning ordinance amendments to promote a variety of housing types including higher density residential along corridors and adjacent to commercial and industrial areas; 4.4: Support development of affordable housing for a full range of employees and residents (retirees and families). Ms. Clark stated the Commission does need to consider, Chapter 3. Our Natural Environment; Objective 3.3.d: consider the impact on the adjacent agricultural business when reviewing new annexations and development applications. The railroad tracks that service Scoular and Hoofin It, are located to the northeast with a track that runs along the north portion of the property. Ms. Clark went over the General Standards for Special Uses with the commission. Regarding Standard A- Will, in fact, constitute a special use as established in section 17.60.060 of this chapter for the zoning district involved. The Planning and Zoning Code allows multi-family dwellings, over five units in the C-3 zone with an approved special use permit. Regarding Standard B- Will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or with any specific objective of the comprehensive plan and/or this title. The ---PAGE BREAK--- request appears to be harmonious with the objectives of Title 17 of the Jerome Municipal Code and the Comprehensive Plan. Objective 3.3.d of the Comp Plan must be considered. Regarding Standard C- 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. This is a unique area north of the several established businesses and south along the railroad line. The parcels are currently uncultivated land, single-family residences, and an undeveloped area for a truck terminal yard. The area to the south and west has developed with differing commercial uses and some remaining single-family houses. The Future Land Use Map designates all parcels as commercial. The application does propose a commercial use from the S Lincoln access point, currently, where the truck terminal yard is then would turn into residential use. Regarding Standard D- Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses. The application states the property is surrounded by varying uses including residential, commercial, and industrial to the north and that a new residential use will improve the area. There is limited visibility from the East Yakima as the proposal will sit behind established businesses. Regarding Standard E- Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse 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. Water, sewer, and irrigation are available to serve the property. Water is existing in S Lincoln and East Yakima. The development would have sewer available from the line in East Yakima. Access points will be from S Lincoln and East Yakima. First responders will be able to access the development. The development will be required to meet the fire code. The School District was sent a notice letter of the request to which we have received no comment. Regarding Standard F- 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. There is no indication that the multi-family, residential use will create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services. Regarding Standard G- 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. It is not anticipated that a multi-family use will be detrimental to any persons, property, or the general welfare because of excessive production of odors, noise, smoke, fumes, or glare. There will be an increase in the production of traffic. There are two access points; however, the traffic increase at the maximum of 258 units will produce a large amount of traffic to an already busy corridor. ---PAGE BREAK--- Regarding Standard H- Will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares. As previously discussed, the development is proposing two access points. One from East Yakima and one from South Lincoln. There is room to construct a turn lane, if needed, on East Yakima to reduce the interference of traffic. Regarding Standard I- Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. There is no indication that the residential use will result in the destruction, loss, or damage of a natural, scenic, or historic feature of major importance. Regarding Off Street Parking, Ms. Clark stated the project must comply with parking requirements. Multi-family dwellings with two or more bedrooms shall have 2 parking spaces with .25 for guest parking. “Adjacent on street parking on a local street may be credited towards the guest parking”. This project is required to have a total of 547 parking spaces. The application shows 560 parking spaces. The parking area must be paved with drainage provided. The application shows the parking area paved and drainage will be calculated with their stormwater. Regarding the landscaping requirements, Ms. Clark stated this project is located in the C-3 district. Any multi-family project within any of these districts must comply with the landscape requirements outlined in 17.18.070. The application includes landscape/green space. The landscape plan will be required as part of the building permit application. Ms. Clark stated Fire, Engineering, Building, Wastewater, and Streets Departments have all reviewed the application for the Special Use Permit. Fire noted that they will be required to meet the fire apparatus turn radius and roads shall be a minimum of 26 feet. Our Fire Department has acquired a few larger apparatuses to help with the taller buildings. The roads and radius will need to be larger now. Other departments noted no comment on the SUP. If approved, Ms. Clark recommended the following conditions: Comply with all City of Jerome Department requirements pertaining to the construction and needed improvements; Receive all required building and fire department permits and inspections; Comply with all city, state, and federal requirements; and Special Use Permit shall be permanent. Ms. Clark stated this is for the applicant to build the multi-family housing but this is not the exact plan or design. They may change. Ms. Clark went over the proposal of the layout with the commission. Commissioner Johnson stated he has a concern regarding the railroad. Ms. Clark stated there is a significant drop that is by the railroad but can be discussed with the landscaping at the design stage. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Schroeder, Ms. Clark stated the applicant does not need to change the zone as it is within the high-density business zone, however, they do need a Special Use Permit which is what is before them. ---PAGE BREAK--- Applicant Testimony: Rex Harding, TD&H Engineering, representing the applicant, after being sworn in, went over the proposed property with the commission and showed them on the map that was provided. Mr. Harding went over the infrastructure that they will be putting and explained where they would be placing that infrastructure. He stated they would be putting in pressurized irrigation, the need for maintaining irrigation for other properties, where the irrigation comes from, and where the lines services. Mr. Harding stated the property will have a privacy fence along the property. They will have fencing that will go along the railroad tracks for safety. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Mr. Harding stated the fence along the railroad would be a solid fence. He continued that there is a third access that runs east of the taco wagon that belongs to the property. Mr. Harding showed the commission all the accesses to the property on the map. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson regarding school bus access, Ms. Clark stated the school district or the bus company, would determine where the bus would stop. She stated currently there are two stops in that vicinity. Mr. Harding stated they would work with the district. Commissioner Reed stated he is concerned with how narrow Yakima is and stated it could be a big issue with adding the large number of cars. Ms. Clark stated they should be able to put a turn lane and agreed when developed, there will be a large increase of vehicles. Commissioner Reed stated the increase could cause a bottleneck and create issues on that stretch of road. Mr. Harding stated this is a conceptual plan and they will come back with the actual plans if this Special Use Permit is approved. He went over the entrances, where the traffic lights are regarding the entrances, interchange completion and traffic going down 300 South. Mr. Harding stated there were three letters that were submitted and he went over the concerns of those letters. Regarding Mr. Sharp’s letter, those concerns were about privacy issues, irrigation concerns, and noise concerns. He stated with the way the property sits, it is not appealing for commercial use as the property is in a hole. The railroad has a very high track on the northeast side where Scoulars should not be visible to that property. The railroad does get lower on the property to the west. Regarding Scoular’s letter, those concerns were traffic impacts, railroad operation hours, and noise from the industries. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Mr. Harding stated they are not sure what the noise level is at that property. Regarding the letter from the railroad company, Mr. Harding stated those concerns were for the health and safety risks of the Easter Idaho Railroad crew members. He is not sure what those exact concerns are. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Mr. Harding stated the fence along the railroad will be a solid fence. Upon inquiry form Chairman Mink, Mr. Harding stated the width of the railroad varies from approximately 100 feet and goes about 120 feet. Mr. Harding showed the varying width on the map. He stated this property is located within a mix of residential and commercial area with the commercial uses very limited. This proposal will enhance the irrigation for the residential property to the west and there will be street improvements along Yakima. This is a good project and it is a good place for this. Testimony in Neutral: Lilli Negri, Jerome, Idaho, after being sworn in, stated the fencing needs to be thought about regarding the railroad. She grew up near a railroad track and it was not always the safest place. The vinyl fence will break from the rocks and anything else the trains kick up. Kids will get on the tracks so she would like to see more thought into the fencing. Upon inquiry from Chairman Mink, Ms. Negri stated more substantial fencing and maybe some shrubs so the ricochet doesn’t break the fence. ---PAGE BREAK--- Testimony in Opposition: Ms. Elliott read the following onto the record: David Sharp- Jerome, Idaho Oppose the application I very strongly oppose this proposal. This project will literally back up to our back yard as a result that will be very intrusive to our privacy. There will be nothing but noise, high traffic and possible criminal activity. This will have a profound effect on our life. There is no fence or wall tall enough to hide this project and we could lose our water share for our garden and irrigation. Scoular Ms. Clark: Scoular is writing to express its concern regarding the special use permit related to a multi-family housing complex on Yakima Street. The current parcels are zoned for High Density Business and neighbors a heavy industrial zone. There is dense truck and rail traffic in this area due to the existing industrial and commercial businesses in the area. We have concerns that the area has not been planned or developed to withstand a 252 unit multi-family complex. The construction of such residential complex could be at the detriment of the existing commercial and industrial businesses in the area, and the potential future residents of the multi-family housing complex. We urge that you carefully consider the potential consequences of issuing the special use permit and the long-term effects of having multi-family hosing in a high-density business and industrial zone. We ask that you consider the special use permit request for parcels RPJ00000305934A, RPJ00000306861A, RPJ00000306957A, RPJ000003905A. Sincerely, Andy Hohwieler-The Scoular Company Eastern Idaho Railroad To Whom it may concern, The Eastern Idaho Railroad is writing this letter to express its strong opposition to David Ellis’ proposed Special Use Permit that would allow for multi-family housing of up to 258 apartments, located at 2336 South Lincoln, 216 East Yakima, 300 East Yakima Avenue, and the empty parcel directly to the north of 300 East Yakima Avenue, Jerome, Idaho (attached herein). The close proximity of the railroad and proposed multi-family housing, and the increased traffic flow will likely cause unnecessary health and safety risks to both the general public and Easter Idaho Railroad crew members. Chad Schlotzhauer, Property Manager Rebuttal Testimony: Rex Harding, stated he appreciates the comment regarding the fence. They may need to be chain link with vinyl inserts. He appreciates the businesses and ---PAGE BREAK--- understands the concerns they have. Mr. Harding stated this project can be done appropriately to not be done at the detriment of the businesses. There being no other testimony in favor, neutral, or in opposition, Chairman Mink closed the Public Hearing at 8:24 p.m. Consider a request from David Ellis for a Special Use Permit allowing multi-family housing, up to 258 apartments, on the property described in Appendix A, more commonly known as 2336 South Lincoln Avenue, 216 East Yakima, 300 East Yakima Avenue and the empty parcel directly to the north of 300 East Yakima Avenue, Jerome, Idaho- action item Ms. Clark went over the conditions the commission could put on the Special Use Permit. Chairman Mink went over the general standards with the commission. Regarding Standard C, Commissioner Schroeder stated it is a tough site. Commissioner Reed agreed but there was a lot of commercial growth and wondered if they were limiting businesses. His concern is mixing multi-family with businesses. Commissioner Johnson stated not enough businesses will develop that property and believes housing is the best choice. His concern is for the safety of the people regarding the railroad. He believes the road needs to be extended to help alleviate the traffic so a bottleneck is not created. Commissioner Reed stated there are already complaints regarding fans at the adjacent property, now they would be adding railroad complaints. He would like to measure the noise on that property before this is approved. Commissioner Fraser stated she does not believe this application is harmonious for residents as the train stops in the area multiple times a day. She stated there is already a lot of traffic on that road. She stated the railroad tracks are dangerous, the traffic gets stopped multiple times a day for a long time and the train whistles are loud and go both day and night. She stated there would be too much truck traffic with the amount of children in the area. Commissioner Fraser stated she likes the proposal but does not think this property is the right spot. Commissioner Schroeder stated housing is important and needed. He does not know of any businesses that would go there. He is not sure if housing is good near the railroad tracks but understands the concerns regarding the railroad workers with the rocks that kids can throw at them. He believes most of those concerns can be addressed with the fencing. Chairman Mink continued going over the general standards with the commission. Regarding Standard H, Chairman Mink stated they have discussed the traffic. Commissioner Reed stated the roads need to be worked on. Discussion was held on adding higher fences, widening the road, and setbacks for the property. Commissioner Reed stated this project would be an improvement for the site but not sure if it is the most appropriate place. Commissioner Johnson stated this project will bring housing to the area. Commissioner Fraser stated she does not want it to become a slum area. More discussion was held on having property management, having a designated bus stop, walkability of this project to other businesses, and needing housing for the community. Ms. Clark went over the options the commission has for approving, approving with conditions, denying, and actions with denial of the application. More discussion was held if they would need a plat, concerns regarding the privacy of the adjacent homeowner, concerns of keeping kids off of the tracks, adding fencing and ---PAGE BREAK--- landscaping to conditions, types, and height of fencing that would be acceptable, adding turning lanes, adding a bus stop, dedicating additional right-of-way, and dedicating a spot for bus pick up. Commissioner Schroder made a motion to approve the Special Use Permit from David Ellis, allowing multi-family housing apartments on the property described in the agenda, Jerome, ID with the following conditions: Comply with all City of Jerome Department requirements pertaining to the construction and needed improvements; Receive all required building and fire department permits and inspections; Comply with all city, state, and federal requirements; Special Use Permit shall be permanent; adequate and secure fencing of a minimum of six feet height and landscaping within property lines, along the railroad tracks; additional consideration given to the traffic concerns including turn lanes, dedicated adequate mass transit improvements. Second by Commissioner Johnson and carried. After consideration, the motion passed by the following votes: AYE: Chairman Rod Mink, Commissioner Jeff Schroeder, and Commissioner Paul Johnson. NAYE: Commissioner Ben Reed, Commissioner Shonna Fraser. Discussion- Special Use Permit process for chickens Ms. Clark stated the reason there was two chicken hearings tonight was because they were already published in the paper and the letters mailed. She stated she would need to do a code amendment since chickens are required to have a Special Use Permit. Discussion was held on how the process would work, acknowledging the chicken requirements, where the coop would be located, and any unresolved complaints from the neighbors would result in the revocation of the permit. Ms. Clark stated currently, the applicant comes in and gets the permit, once it is up for renewal, staff sends out letters to the neighbors within 100 feet of the property, and if any concerns are brought up, the staff handles them. With this amendment, chickens would be reviewed by staff only. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Ms. Clark stated this amendment would be for chickens only. All other animals and livestock would still go before the commission. Commissioner Reed stated he has concerns with those applicants who come before the commission that have had the chickens for more than a year stating they did not know about the code. He understands some don’t know but he does not want others abusing the system. He would like to see those applications, that have had the chickens prior, come before the commission for approval. Discussion was held on working the language for a penalty of having animals without a permit, asking animal control to help, animal control being specific to dogs, code enforcement helping with animals, how to prove applicants don’t know the code, having staff deny the applicant and going before the commission. Ms. Clark stated Planning and Zoning is starting to get busy with different projects that are very important and need more of the commissioner’s time. She would like to see chickens not come before the commission and have staff approval only. Discussion was held on the compliance of applicants, denial of ---PAGE BREAK--- applicants with roosters, following up with those applications that do get approved, and the cost of the permit. CITIZEN CORRESPONDENCE AND ISSUES Ms. Negri asked if the city would be able to post signs at D&B, or wherever they sell chickens, to make sure the citizens are aware of the codes. Ms. Clark stated they have taken signs to D&B and Valley Country stores in previous years, but neighbors and word have mouth have been the best tools. She stated once the code amendment is approved, it will be shared online. Ms. Negri inquired if the applicants could add more than six chickens. Commissioner Johnson stated it needs to remain at six hens. Ms. Clark stated with there being smaller lots in the city limits, six hens were the best compromise to make sure they were not disturbing the neighborhood. Consent Agenda The consent calendar consists of items that are considered to be routine in nature and will be enacted in the form of one motion.

ROD MINK, Chairman of the Board Jerome City Planning and Zoning D. Findings and Conclusions for a request from The City of Jerome for a Rezone from Residential 2 (R-2) to Public/Semipublic, for the property described in Appendix B, more commonly known as the 10th Street Well, Jerome, Idaho, containing approximately 3 acres. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS ON APPLICATION OF CITY OF JEROME FOR A REZONE FROM TO RESIDENTIAL 2 (R-2) TO PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC (PS) ON THE ---PAGE BREAK--- PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN AS 10th STREET WELL, CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 3 ACRES IN JEROME, IDAHO A Public Hearing at the request from City of Jerome for a rezone from Residential 2 (R-2) to Public/Semi-Public (PS) on that parcel of land located at the property described in Appendix C of the application, more commonly known as the 10th Street Well, containing approximately 3 acre in Jerome, Idaho, (hereinafter referred to as the “Property”) was held, pursuant to notice, commencing at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 25, 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 in person 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, gave a staff report and brief background on the application. Ms. Clark stated one of the City’s drinking water wells and water tank is located on this parcel of land, 324 10th Ave East. The City recently acquired land to the north of the existing tank to build a new water tank. The parcel has been zoned Residential 2 (R-2) since April 2006. The City is requesting to rezone the parcel to Public/Semi-Public (PS) as it will remain under the City’s ownership with no residential uses allowed. The parcel should have been rezoned to PS in the April of 2010 rezoning of the city; however, it was missed. Note that according to the Land Use Handbook, “Spot zoning refers to a change in zoning of a particular parcel or parcels that is out of character with the surrounding area and the comprehensive plan and is done for the benefit of the particular landowner rather than for the benefit of the community as a whole”. We are making this request as we are required, and we desire to provide safe drinking water for the City of Jerome. The rezoning request is not for a particular landowner or the City. The request is a benefit to the community as a whole. Ms. Clark went over the surrounding neighboring uses with the Commission. The property is surrounded by residential uses. The property to the north is zoned Residential-1 (R-1) and Residential-2 (R-2) to the east, west, and south. The Comprehensive Plan: The Future Land Use Map designates this parcel for public use. As pertains to Title 17 of the JMC, the Land Use Ordinance, Ms. Clark stated the parcels involved, as described above, are currently zoned Residential 2 which allows single-family homes, duplexes, and certain public service facilities detailed in 17.14.010 of the Jerome Municipal Code. The proposed zone to Public/Semi-Public (PS), would allow for public service facilities, parks, emergency services, and museums as detailed in 17.14.010 of the JMC. All land use regulations as detailed in Title 17 of the JMC will apply to the property, including but not limited to setbacks and building height restrictions. The current zoning of R-2 setbacks are: ---PAGE BREAK--- Front- 25’, Rear- 20’, Interior Side- and Street Side- 15’. The setbacks for PS are: Front- 25’, Rear- 20’, Interior Side- 20’, and Street Side- 20’. Ms. Clark stated the new tank does meet all setbacks. As required by 17.80.040, GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR AMENDMENTS, the application for a rezone shall be reviewed by the Commission to determine if the request: Is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan; Will create a demand for public infrastructure that is not currently available, including municipal sewer and water services; Is compatible with the zoning uses in the surrounding areas; and No non-conforming uses will be created. As pertains to the City of Jerome’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Ms. Clark stated the request is in accordance with Chapter 1: Property Rights. There is no “taking”. The request is in accordance with Chapter 5, Our Public Services, Objective 5.1: Continue providing upgrades to water, trash, and sewer infrastructure to address current and future growth. The rezoning allows the tank to continue to serve the needs of the public with municipal water services. All parcels are surrounded by residential zoning. There is almost no noise and there are no odors that come from a water tank. It is compatible with residential uses. There will be no other uses allowed on this property. It will be fenced and kept city purposes. The building of a water tank does not create a non-conforming use. The new tank also meets setback requirements as outlined in the analysis. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Ms. Clark stated the existing well will stay but she is not certain on what they will be doing with the existing tank. They will need to keep the existing tank intact until the new tank is able to be filled and is online. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Ms. Clark stated the access is only for the well property. There will not be any access to any of the homes. The City purchased the lot and they have cleaned up the irrigation and sewer lines that were out there. Commissioner Reed stated this will be a great improvement as there have kids on the property riding their bikes and some people dealing drugs. Ms. Clark stated the property has caught fire and they have also found homeless people on it. Commissioner Johnson inquired if they would be adding grass? Ms. Clark stated the plans state the property will be gravel. They will have an all weathered road for fire access as well as an overflow pond. Chairman Mink stated all weathered roads are just gravel. Commissioner Fraser stated the overflow pond is only there for overflow. There will not be consistent water in it. Ms. Clark affirmed ---PAGE BREAK--- with Commissioner Fraser the overflow is just for emergency. Commissioner Reed stated that property has been a nuisance. Testimony in Neutral: Jerry Holton, Jerome resident, inquired why they are already building if they are now wanting to rezone the property? Chairman Mink stated the property was missed when they rezoned the city back in 2010. Mr. Holton stated he has been in construction for 30 years and he can’t just go and do something without getting a permit. He stated it doesn’t make sense as work should have been stopped until the zoning was fixed. Ms. Clark stated this application is trying to correct what was missed. She stated if there is someone who is doing a job without a permit, the City will work with them regarding the code and ask them to comply with those codes. Mr. Holton stated he does siding and he doesn’t understand. Was it overlooked? Mr. Holton inquired what code addresses this. Ms. Clark stated the water tank was already existing on the property. This falls under a non-conforming use and for “life and safety” reasons, they can continue building the tank for the safety of the citizens of Jerome. The step that was missed, was the zoning. This is what they are trying to correct now. Mr. Holton stated he doesn’t understand how they can keep working. He stated if it is not zoned correctly, all the work on the project is being done illegally. Mr. Hess stated once they found out the zoning was not correct, they are now going through the process. Mr. Holton stated all of the work should have stopped until the zoning was fixed. He stated the notice was dated on June 3rd and all of the work should have stopped. Ms. Clark stated they are able to work for the life and safety for the community. They are rezoning the property because it is the right thing to do. Mr. Holton stated he is not against the rezone but he would like to know why it wasn’t stopped. Commissioner Reed thanked Mr. Holton and appreciated his concerns. He stated occasionally things happen without malice. Commissioner Fraser stated the existing tank has been on the property for a long time and believes it was under the assumption that it was already zoned correctly. Mr. Holton stated the property was not zoned properly and does not think work should have continued. 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. The Property in question is currently zoned Residential 2 B. The Application seeks to amend the Property to be zoned Public/Semi Public (PS). ---PAGE BREAK--- C. The Property in question is bordered by Residential 1 (R-1) to the North, and Residential 2 (R-2) to the East, West, and South. D. Rezoning from R-2 to PS will allow for public services and increased setbacks for the new tank as it does not conform with the existing setbacks for an R-2 zone. E. The proposed rezone is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. F. The proposed rezone will create a demand for public infrastructure that is not currently available, including municipal sewer and water services. G. The proposed rezone is compatible with the zoning uses in the surrounding area. H. 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 from Residential 2 (R-2) to Public/Semi Public (PS) be approved. These findings and conclusions, having been adopted by the Jerome City Planning and Zoning Commission on the 9th day of July 2024, in support of the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission on the 25th day of June 2024, to approve the application as specified herein is hereby made final this 9th day of July 2024.
