Variance Request: Staff Report I. Background—308 East Avenue F is two parcels, lot 10 and lot 11 of Block 139. An existing house sits over the north-south lot line (mainly on lot 11). The applicant would like to build a single-family house on lot 11. Without permission, the applicant moved the north-south lot line, which does not meet current interior side setbacks. The new lot line is approximately three feet from the new lot line. II. Regarding Title 17 of the JMC, the Land Use Ordinance a. Parcels 10 and 11 are zoned Residential 2 as detailed in 17.14.010 of the JMC. b. Regardless of use, setbacks for this property are as follows: i. Front: 25’, Rear 20’, Interior Side Side Street 15’ III. 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. Still, it may be granted to an applicant only upon a showing of undue hardship because of the site's characteristics and that the variance does not conflict with the public interest. Variance Criteria Staff Analysis IV. 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 do not apply to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district; i. Staff Analysis: The application notes that the existing single-family home encroaches onto lot 10 by about one foot. This is common in the City of Jerome as we allow homes to be built over the lot lines. ---PAGE BREAK--- Planning and Zoning Department City Hall 152 East Ave A Jerome, ID 83338 (208) 324–8189 www.cityofjerome.org 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; i. Staff Analysis: A literal interpretation of the title would not deprive the applicant of any rights enjoyed by other properties. The applicant is asking for a variance to build; however, other options can be considered without placing the two other homes at risk. c. That special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant; i. Staff Analysis: The request for a side yard setback variance directly results from the applicant's actions. We could have offered solutions if the applicant had consulted with staff before adjusting lot lines. There are other ideas to build on lot 10. d. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege denied by this title to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district. i. Staff Analysis: Variances are typically granted when the applicant proves undue hardship because of the site's characteristics and the variance does not conflict with the public interest. The applicant has not proven an undue hardship. A building permit has not been issued. There is a concern for the other existing homes, as allowing a side variance would require the existing home to also have a fire wall. V. Staff Comments: a. Staff recommends that the variance request be denied as there are no special conditions or circumstances peculiar to the land or structures and no undue hardship. i. Fire: Fire is concerned about reducing a setback that could put any new or existing building at risk from radiant heat from a fire. A reduction of 4 ft. would create a risk for both homes. Without a survey showing the locations of the existing houses at both 300 and 308 E. Avenue F, as they relate to the property lines, fire cannot support this variance request. ii. Building: Essentially, this is asking us to allow a variance that would make two existing homes non-compliant with our fire codes to build a new compliant home. Contrary to the narrative statement, granting this variance does cause special conditions and affects more than the two lots in question. Based on documents provided, I cannot legally issue a building permit for this new home. I see other options for the builder that I am willing to discuss if they are interested. VI. 17.70.040: SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS AND SAFEGUARDS: Under no circumstances shall a variance or an appeal of a variance be granted 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.

Also present were City Planner Ida Clark, and Secretary Katie Elliott. Legal Counsel BJ Hess was excused. Chairman Mink led the audience in recitation of the pledge of allegiance. Chairman Mink called the Public Hearing to order at 7:01 p.m. Public Hearing for a request from Juan Gonzalez for a Special Use Permit renewal allowing a commercial entertainment facility (indoors), on the property described as Lots 16 & 17, Block 76 Jerome Townsite SE (13-8-16), more commonly known as 160 West Main Street, Jerome, Idaho. Staff Report: Ms. Clark stated Mr. Gonzalez received a special use permit for a commercial entertainment facility (indoor) in 2019. Mr. Gonzalez has renewed in 2020, 2022, and 2023. He would like to request renewal with no changes to the application. This property and use remain compliant with the standards for a special use permit. Ms. Clark stated the property, 160 West Main Street, Jerome, ID, is zoned Central Business District (CBD). The proposed use, a commercial entertainment facility (indoor), requires a Special Use Permit from the Planning & Zoning Commission. As it pertains to the City of Jerome’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Ms. Clark stated the request complies with Chapter 7, “Economic Development,” Policy 8, which is to “continue to provide an atmosphere for successful business development.” As it pertains to 17.26.040: Location of Parking Spaces. Parking spaces are required and cannot be more than seven hundred feet (700’) from the principal use. Previously, Mr. Gonzalez verbally agreed with Mr. Webb, the previous owner of the parking lots directly north of 160 W Main, to allow parking on his lots. Mr. Gonzalez has no verbal agreement to park with the new owner of those lots. However, there is a parking lot on the southwest corner of 1st Avenue and North Lincoln, and at the southwest corner of West Main and South Alder St., both are less than 700 feet from the main entrance. Ms. Clark stated she received the following comments back from City Staff: Police— There are no issues as long as all the required inspections and alcohol licensing have been met; Fire—The applicant is required to pass a fire inspection; and Code Enforcement—Weeds must be kept down on the entire parcel. ---PAGE BREAK--- If approved, Ms. Clark recommended the following conditions: Schedule and pass fire department inspections; Complete a parking lot inspection within 24 hours of an event; Comply with all City, State, and Federal requirements; and Special Use Permit shall be allowed for five years, renewable upon expiration. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Ms. Clark stated the code states that parking must be within 700 feet. There are two public parking lots that the customers can park in that are within 700 feet. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Ms. Clark stated she would not recommend the permit be permanent because they are a commercial event facility and she would like to make sure they are following all of the city codes and conditions of the permit. There have been other facilities, in the past, that have not followed the city codes. She also stated parking can be problematic downtown and would like to ensure they comply. She stated she has not received any complaints regarding this property. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Ms. Clark reviewed the process of revoking a Special Use Permit. Ms. Clark stated that the applicant would be sent a notice and have to appear before the commission in a public hearing to respond to those allegations of breaking the conditions. Chairman Mink stated the applicant would have a chance to address the complaint or go before the commission. Discussion was held on why they need a special use permit in that location. Ms. Clark stated the capacity of the building is approximately 120, which should not create an issue when events are held. Applicant testimony: Juan Gonzalez, resident of Jerome, after being sworn in, stated he would like to have the permit for five to seven years. He goes around and picks up the trash after each event. He has not heard of any complaints from any of the events, and he has security at the events. After inquiry from Chairman Mink, Mr. Gonzalez stated he poured concrete in the back last summer to help with the weeds. They are hopefully putting in a fence later this year. The fence will have doors for a vehicle to pull into for catering. Mr. Gonzalez stated he has security outside to ensure no one parks in the Northside’s parking lot because the tow company is quick to tow cars. Testimony in favor: Ms. Elliott read the following onto the record: Jim Kinsey- Little Tigers, Jerome, ID Support the application Juan is a good neighbor and we strongly support downtown businesses. Testimony in neutral: Ms. Clark read the following onto the record: Northside Club, Jerome, Idaho Neutral While we don’t oppose this, we have a concern with the concrete pad that was added in the back. Theres no fence around it, we have had children playing in our parking lot. Yes there’s ---PAGE BREAK--- security, but they always arrive after the events have started. This is a bar parking lot, we don’t need children playing in our parking lot. There being no other testimony in favor, neutral, or in opposition, Chairman Mink closed the Public Hearing at 7:13 p.m. Consider a request from Juan Gonzalez for a Special Use Permit renewal allowing a commercial entertainment facility (indoors), on the property described as Lots 16 & 17, Block 76 Jerome Townsite SE (13-8-16), more commonly known as 160 West Main Street, Jerome, Idaho—action item. Discussion was held for the length of the permit (i.e. five to seven years); revocation of process; the steps of revoking the permit; only issuing citation if there is a code violation; and safety of children running into the road/parking lot. Commissioner Reed made a motion approve the renewal of a Special Use Permit from Juan Gonzalez allowing a commercial entertainment facility (indoors), on the property more commonly known as 160 West Main Street, Jerome, Idaho with the following conditions: Schedule and pass annual fire department inspections; Complete a parking lot inspection within 24 hours of an event; Comply with all City, State, and Federal requirements; and Special Use Permit shall be allowed as long as the applicant owns the property.

Staff Report: Ms. Clark stated the building at 1225 South Lincoln has three tenant spaces. The existing signage for two tenants is 171.66 square feet and 245 square feet with the Urgent Care person outline. The applicant is the third tenant and wants to install a 74-square- foot sign. This would bring the overall signage facing south Lincoln to 319 square feet. The parcel at 1225 South Lincoln is zoned General Business Jerome Municipal code 17.32.050 allows up to 200 square feet facing a street without a special use permit. When the second tenant applied for their signage, the Urgent Care’s signage was left off the application. The second tenant was approved for their signage. The property owner was asked to apply for the whole building, but they have not done so. Body Balance is asking for approval for their signage. Ms. Clark reviewed the general standards for Special Use Permits 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 Jerome Municipal Code allows signage to exceed 200 square feet with an approved special use permit in the C-2 zoning districts. 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 Title 17 of the Jerome Municipal Code and the Comprehensive Plan.

The applicant has provided professionally designed renderings of the sign. The sign is designed and installed by the same company as the existing signs. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Ms. Clark confirmed the sign will be on the building. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Ms. Clark stated the Special Use permit can be applied for by anyone as long as the property owner gives their permission. It would have been better to have the property owner apply, but they gave permission for the applicant to apply for the Special Use Permit. Commissioner Reed would like to change the code to have the property owner apply for the Special Use Permit instead of the tenant. Regarding Standard D- Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses. The sign is illuminated; however, the sign will face the street, not the residence, and will not disturb existing or future uses. ---PAGE BREAK--- 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.

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 request to exceed 200 square feet for a sign will not impact any persons, property, or the general welfare because of excessive glare production. The applicant shall comply with the nit code requirement for illumination. 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. There is no change to the vehicular approaches to the property. Regarding Standard I- Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. This is a new building. There is no loss or damage of natural or scenic features. If approved, Ms. Clark recommended the following conditions: Total signage shall not exceed 74 square feet for Body Balance and Total signage for the overall building shall not exceed 319 square feet. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Fraser, Ms. Clark stated Urgent Care and the little guy was lit but Miracle Ear was not. There is a freestanding sign that they can also add onto. Commissioner Schroeder wanted to confirm that the freestanding sign will also be updated. Ms. Clark confirmed they were. Upon inquiry from Chairman Mink, Ms. Clark stated the Special Use Permit goes with the applicant, so they would have to apply again if anything else comes in. Discussion was held on changing the code only to allow property owners to apply, but we may have trouble getting property owners who do not live in the area to come to the meetings. Applicant Testimony: Cody Davis, a resident of Buhl, stated they are just applying for the business to have signage. He was not aware of all the requirements and thought they would be able to get the approval quicker for the signage. Upon inquiry from Chairman Mink, Mr. Davis said the back is lit, but Mr. Byce can speak better on the matter. ---PAGE BREAK--- Brandon Byce, resident of Jerome, from Lytle Signs, explained how the signs are lit with the commission. He stated there is a reverse ban in the signage. This creates a halo and makes the sign look sophisticated and nice. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Schroeder, Ms. Clark stated we do not regulate signage on windows or doors. There being no other testimony in favor, neutral, or in opposition, Chairman Mink closed the Public Hearing at 7:44 p.m. Consider a request from Body Balance for a Special Use Permit allowing signage to exceed 200 square feet, on the property described as Tax 2216694 of SESE (24-8-16) Jerome Unplatted, more commonly known as 1225 South Lincoln Avenue, Jerome, Idaho- action item.

The application also meets Chapter 6 – Our Quality of Life: Objective 6.2: Diversify the economic base of businesses and industries (through retention, expansion, and recruitment) while preserving Jerome’s identity. Ms. Clark went over the Preliminary Plat Criteria with the Commission. The Applicant has provided a complete subdivision application with adequate information to review the preliminary plat. As required by code, a mailed notice was sent to adjacent property owners on December 20, 2024. Idaho Power, Intermountain Gas, the School District, Jerome County, North Side Canal Company (NCSS), and the Post Office were sent notices regarding the proposed subdivision. North Side Canal Company responded with a letter regarding the canal that has been sent to the developer. No comments have been received from other agencies. City departments, including Building, Engineering, Fire, Water, and Wastewater, were allowed to comment on this application. Comments have been addressed on the preliminary plat. Regarding 16.28.040: LOT REQUIREMENTS, lots range from 5.27 acres to 8.25 acres. There is no minimum lot size for industrial lots. Regarding 16.28.050 - .051: STREETS AND DEDICATION OF STREETS, the application proposes dedicating all streets to the public. They will construct half of East Ave T from South Tiger Drive for future connectivity. Another access will be from South Tiger Drive, which is Dairy Drive. South McKinley will be accessed from East Yakima Avenue, connecting to the internal streets of South Lyndon and South Nixon. Regarding 16.28.052 - .053: STREET LOCATION AND STREET SPECIFICATIONS, the streets are located accordingly to serve all proposed lots. The streets meet the required horizontal and vertical geometry and minimum and maximum grades. Regarding 16.28.054: STREET NAMES, the proposed street names conform to the existing city grid. ---PAGE BREAK--- Regarding 16.28.070: EASEMENTS, the plat proposes appropriate easements and includes the required irrigation easement for the canal. Regarding 16.28.100: STORMWATER RETENTION/DETENTION, the materials show the retention pond southwest of the development. Parcels are also required to retain water on-site when developed. Regarding 16.28.110: CURBS, GUTTERS AND SIDEWALKS, the development proposes a curb, gutter, and a five-foot wide sidewalk along South Tiger Drive and East Yakima Avenue. Ms. Clark stated that the city code is vague on the internal requirements for sidewalks within an industrial subdivision, but they will work with the property owners as the lots develop. Regarding 16.28.140: IRRIGATION LINES AND WATER RIGHTS, all lots will be provided with pressurized irrigation. The canal that runs diagonally through the property will be piped. They have acknowledged that, per municipal code, water shares will be transferred to the city for irrigation delivery. Regarding 16.28.150: REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS, the preliminary plat includes fire hydrants and street lights where required, meeting the code’s requirements. As the lots are developed, they must comply with the landscape ordinance. Ms. Clark reminded the Commission of the objectives of this title when considering the subdivision. Ms. Clark went over the plat with the Commission in more detail. She stated Lot 1 will have two access points the engineering department has reviewed. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Ms. Clark stated the hearing is for the subdivision only. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Ms. Clark stated the property to the north of the proposed subdivision is in the county, and the property to the east side is the residential subdivision in the county. Ms. Clark showed the Commission where the access points would be in the subdivision on the plat and on Google Maps. She affirmed the zoning for the property is zoned Light Industrial. Upon inquiry from Chairman Mink, Ms. Clark stated they are considering the entire 153 acres for a subdivision. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Ms. Clark stated the property not included in the subdivision is a house. Applicant Testimony: Mr. David Thibault, of Twin Falls Idaho, of EHM Engineers representing Hay Boomer was sworn in and testified before the Commission. Mr. Thibault stated they were recently here for annexation and now want to subdivide the property. He stated they will build East Ave T out along the northern boundary. They will have northern access to the property just north of the access from Idaho Milk Products (IMP) and southern access from East Yakima or 200 South. Mr. Thibault showed the access points to the Commission on the preliminary plat. The development is planned for industrial use, but they do not know the uses. He continued that all the lots would be accessed within the internal roads they build except for Lot 1. Mr. Thibault stated the ---PAGE BREAK--- hard corners on the mile roads are prime real estate, and they have worked with the City Engineering team to locate proposed access locations as far away from the intersection as possible due to future signals at the intersection. There are no plans for a signal now, but there may be a signal in the future. About Lot 1, Mr. Thibault stated they are proposing a “right in, right out” access on the south side of the property and a “full service” access to the north. The northern access will be approximately 650 feet from the intersection. He continued that the access was discussed and agreed upon as acceptable as presented by the Engineering Department and team. Mr. Thibault stated they are proposing a couple of stormwater retention areas on site until the property is developed. As the users come along, they will design their own sites for water retention. They are working with the NSCC to re-rout the canal along the property’s perimeter instead of going diagonally through the property. All of the water deliveries will be preserved and relocated within concrete irrigation box structures, where the water will be diverted as necessary. Mr. Thibault stated he believes this preliminary plat conforms with the Comprehensive Plan, is serviceable, and is in conformance with the Future Land Use Map and the planning the city has done for the industrial area. He continued that the subdivision would benefit the city. Chairman Mink inquired if the pivot had a current irrigation pond. Mr. Thibault showed where the current pivot is on Google Maps and that there is a diversion point on the northeast side of the property that diverts the water down the canal diagonally through the property to a pond and pump. They propose to intercept the water and pipe it down the property's perimeter for delivery. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Mr. Thibault stated they would be doing pressurized irrigation and showed the Commission where it would be located on the plat. It will be captured on the northeast boundary and go south along the boundary to the road, where it will then go west to South Tiger, where it will go under the road for delivery. Commissioner Reed stated he is concerned about traffic bottlenecking around Lot 1 and asked Mr. Thibault how they would mitigate the traffic. Mr. Thibault stated it is hard to forecast what traffic will be without a use for the property. Traffic volume and intensity will vary with each user. Valley Wide Country Store at the corner of South Lincoln and Nez Perce was used as an example of a use that could go on the property. This use is a higher volume of traffic than what would be on the proposed property. Valley Wide has a similar approach to what they are proposing. Mr. Thibault reviewed the approaches for Valley Wide and their proposed approaches in detail with the Commission. The proposed subdivision will have a “right in and out” restriction for the access, 440 feet from South Tiger, on the southern boundary to help mitigate the issues that may come from traffic, which Valley Wide does not. Discussion was held on stacking cars from the intersection. Mr. Thibault stated that this design and proposal are more conservatively designed than those already established in the community. ---PAGE BREAK--- Testimony in Favor: None. Testimony in Neutral: Ms. Clark read the following onto the record: Gerald Beasley, Jerome, Idaho Neutral - I am agreeable to the application as long as the subdivision meets the definition of M-1 Light Industrial; and a proper barrier is installed before work begins. Absolutely against any M-2 Heavy Industrial going into this property. Pat Beasley, Jerome, Idaho Neutral - I am not against progress, but I am against M2 in our back yard. April Fluckinger, Jerome Neutral - It’s a bit hard to say neutral or opposed with such little information. I am not opposed to the development as long as it remains light industrial and a properly designed barrier is included. This is residential by industrial. I would like a barrier designed showing calculations that there will be a reduced impact. What type of development is anticipated? If Mr. Thibault is not competent with this task then he should find someone who can do it. If this isn’t his job, than who’s is it? An engineer’s first duty is to the health, welfare and safety of the public. That is part of engineering ethics. If development is done then do it right. The barrier should be included on the plat. Kristine McDonald, Jerome resident, stated that nothing has been brought to her attention about the buffer. She heard it would be the minimum of what they have to do. She would like the developer and Mr. Thibault to meet with the residents from the subdivision as it would affect them to come up with an appropriate buffer. She would also like to have the buffer before breaking ground. An appropriate buffer that is aesthetically pleasing. She believes the applicant needs to sit down with the residents and agree on the buffer. Donell Fluckinger, Jerome resident, stated he also has not heard anything and mitigation is better than litigation. Health and safety have not been addressed. He believes that there should be a proper barrier built on the east side, and if Mr. Thibault isn’t competent, as he has said he is not an acoustic engineer, he needs to find one. It is better to be proactive than reactive. Residential is the opposite of industrial. Since there is not a proper setback, they need to get something in there. Aesthetics go both ways. He would like to see a six-foot berm with a six-foot wall and some vegetation for aesthetics and sound. He is not against development, but he is against negligence and giving the engineering profession a bad name. He would like them to build something that another engineer would do in the same situation. The wall should be designed and evidence based. It should show that it will work. He has worked with Scott Jackson Excavation Company for over 20 years and they have always done things right. He assumes that Mr. Jackson wants to do things right. It might cost more upfront, but it is ---PAGE BREAK--- worth it. The berm should go in when everything else goes in. It should go in before the buildings go in. Those are his concerns. Kim Cornwell, Jerome resident, stated she is neutral as long as it stays light industrial. She stated she believes a berm should be built. She would like to know where the irrigation will be. If it is near homes, she would like to see it protected from the kids. She is for the Light Industrial. Skyler Hill, Jerome resident, stated his home faces to the west. He is not opposed to the development as it helps the city and county grow, but he would like to see a barrier before the construction starts. He stated he has been getting trash and trees from the construction site across South Tiger in his yard. He would like to see a berm and a fence built or something that looks decent. He has been at his house for 17 years, thought it would be his forever home, and hopes to keep it that way. He is not opposed to construction but would like it to stay M-1. Mr. Hill stated it is a good plan and would like to see a barrier before construction starts. He also would like the berm to be uniformed, not a Lincoln log home that someone uses scraps to build. Alejandro Magallon, Jerome resident, stated he will be a neighbor to this. He has kids that like to play outside. He stated it is a good plan, but would like a wall built first before they build the subdivision. Testimony in Opposition: None. Testimony in Rebuttal: Dave Thibault, representing EHM Engineering, regarding the buffer, the preliminary plat has a landscape utility easement setback that will be established. Through the process of working with the neighbors through the annexation and public meeting settings, there was no conclusion for fencing. The Jerome Code does not require fencing to go around a subdivision project. There is a 50-foot right of way from the property line regarding the setbacks. Measuring from the property line going west, they are anticipating a 40-foot-wide easement for the NSCC. They propose an 18” – 24” high berm within that easement over the top of the buried irrigation line. They are taking the open channel irrigation to a buried line, making it safer for the neighbors. They are not proposing fencing as it can pose challenges to the canal company’s operations, access, and maintenance. But they do include landscaping and planting trees that will be 100 feet apart. The total width for a buffer will be 90 feet. They believe this is a sufficient buffer zone. Mr. Thibault stated the City’s Fire Department, Engineering Department, his department, and the code regulations all have requirements that have been reviewed by City Staff and have been satisfied. They believe it is a safe project and meets the standards. Mr. Thibault went over the location of the proposed pressurized irrigation box. He stated it is along the east boundary but is some distance to the north of the north boundary of the residential subdivision. The irrigation will be placed on private property ---PAGE BREAK--- within concrete irrigation diversion structures with grated tops for safety and pumps on top of the grates. Mr. Thibault stated he understands the concern for trash and debris. There needs to be some level of enforcement when wind events occur, and he knows that they try to use best management practices, but they are not 100%. Mr. Thibault stated that regarding the comment to “give them something,” he does not believe there is anything that states they need to “give” anyone something. They have tried to be good neighbors as the zone is light industrial, and they have a plan that meets the requirements. He is seeking approval from the Commission to move forward with the development. The Jerome City Planning and Zoning Commission, having heard the testimony presented, having reviewed the preliminary plat application, Ms. Clark’s report, 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 A. The subdivision preliminary plat, as presented, is consistent with the Objectives in Chapter 4 of the Comprehensive Plan as described in Ms. Clark’s report. No evidence contradicting Ms. Clark’s report was presented. The project, as described by Ms. Clark and Mr. Thibault, does, in fact, appear to promote the objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan in the manner described by Ms. Clark. B. Based on the Staff Report and the testimony presented, the Commission finds that public services are available to accommodate the proposal. C. The Commission finds that based on Ms. Clark's representations, the City's capital improvement program is not implicated by this project. D. The Commission heard no evidence from any person at the hearing that suggests there are other health, safety, or environmental problems that would prevent the approval of the preliminary plat as presented. II. Conclusions A. The proposed industrial subdivision is in accordance with and satisfies the requirements of Title 16. Chapter 16 of the Jerome Municipal Code. B. Finding that the proposed industrial subdivision is in conformance with the Jerome Comprehensive Plan and adequate public services are available to accommodate the proposed subdivision. C. The Commission approves a 23-lot industrial subdivision on the property described in Appendix A, more commonly known as a cultivated field on the ---PAGE BREAK--- northeast corner of South Tiger Drive (100 East) and East Yakima Avenue (200 South, Jerome, Idaho, containing approximately 153 acres. These findings and conclusions, having been adopted by the Jerome City Planning and Zoning Commission on the 11th day of February 2025, in support of the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission on the 14th day of January 2025, to approve the application for a preliminary plat is hereby made final this 11th day of February 2025, subject to appeal by an interested party within the prescribed period under Idaho law. ROD MINK, Chairman of the Board Jerome City Planning and Zoning Please be advised Chapter 17.70, Section 17.70.080 of the Jerome Municipal Code provides guidance on how to appeal a decision by the Commission. The appeal must be made by filing a written appeal form with the City Clerk within ten (10) days of the mailing of the decision to the applicant. Remedies before the City of Jerome on such matters shall not be deemed to have been exhausted until a decision on such an appeal has been made by the City Council. Under Idaho Code, you also have 28 days from the date of approval of the Findings and Conclusions to request a regulatory takings analysis pursuant to Idaho Code 67-8003(2). C. Findings and Conclusions for a request from Gateway Properties LLC (Rich Davis) for a Rezone from Mixed Use (MU) to High-Density Business (C-3) on the property described in Appendix B, more commonly known as the farmland on the northwest corner of South Tiger (100 East) and 300 South, Jerome, Idaho, containing 18.29 acres, more or less. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS ON APPLICATION OF GATEWAY PROPERTIES, LLC FOR REZONING THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED HEREIN AND MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE FARMLAND ON THE CORNER OF SOUTH TIGER (100 EAST) AND 300 SOUTH, JEROME, IDAHO, CONTAINING 18.29 ACRES+/- A Public Hearing at the request from Gateway Properties, LLC, represented by Rich Davis, for a zoning map amendment for the farmland on the northwest corner of South Tiger (100 East) and 300 South, containing 18.29 acres, (hereinafter referred to as the “Property”) more fully described on Appendix A, was held, pursuant to notice, on Tuesday January 14, 2025, 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 reminded the Commission that they recently saw this ---PAGE BREAK--- property regarding a lot split. The parcel is currently zoned Mixed-Use. It has been farmland for years. The 80 acres were split by aliquot and rezoned from High-Density Business to Mixed-Use. The remaining 40 acres were approved for a lot split at the December 10, 2024, Planning and Zoning meeting. The Record of Survey and deeds have been recorded. The request is to rezone the southern parcel to C-3, which would be contiguous with the parcels to the west. Ms. Clark went over the adjacent land use and zoning with the Commission. To the north is farmland/trucking, with the zoning being MU/Area of Impact-Industrial. To the south is Farmland/Houses, with the zoning being Area of Impact- Industrial. To the east is Farmland/Houses, with the zoning being Area of Impact- Residential. To the west is Farmland/Commercial, with the zoning being High-Density Business. Ms. Clark stated the Comprehensive Plan: The Future Land Use Map designates this parcel as Residential High. Residential High is allowed in the C-3 zone with an approved special use permit. Ms. Clark stated the parcel is currently zoned Mixed-Use (MU), which allows convenience stores without fuel, restaurants, banks, professional office space, retail, and many other uses with an approved special use permit like an RV Park and multi- family dwellings, and health care services are allowed. The proposed zone for High- Density Business (C-3) would permit uses like professional services, offices, restaurants, health clinics, emergency services, convenience stations with or without fuel, and hotels. Multi-family housing and many other uses are allowed with an approved special use permit. All land use regulations detailed in Title 17 of the JMC will apply to the property, including setbacks and minimum lot size. The current MU zoning has setbacks at 25’ front, 20’ rear, 20’ interior side, and 20’ street side, with a minimum lot size of 7,000 square feet. The setbacks for C-3 are 25' front, 10' rear, 12' interior side, and 25' street side, and there is no minimum lot size, but you cannot cover more than 80% of the lot. As required by 17.80.040, GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR AMENDMENTS, the Commission shall review the application for a rezone 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 will not create non- conforming uses. Regarding 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,” and the request is from the landowner. 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.” This area of the City is still developing. There are established businesses along North Frontage Road. With the new ---PAGE BREAK--- interchange, this area will see more growth and development. A rezone for High-Density Business would allow many uses appropriate for the area due to its proximity to the interstate. Regarding the demand for public infrastructure that is not currently available, including municipal sewer and water services, water and sewer would be available to extend in North Frontage Road (300 South) at the developer's expense. As stated above, this area of the City is mostly farmland with some established businesses along North Frontage Road. This parcel is contiguous to High-Density Business to the west, which is compatible with the zoning uses in the surrounding areas. Regarding the creation of non-conforming uses, no non-confirming uses will be created as this is farmland. Ms. Clark stated that the staff is neutral to this request as it is presently farmland and contiguous to C-3 zoning. Applicant Testimony: Rich Davis, on behalf of Gateway Properties, LLC, presented and testified before the Commission. Mr. Davis stated they would like to rezone the parcel to C-3, as it would give them more flexibility to find users and plan for the property. They want to be cohesive with the surrounding properties. Ideally, they would like to have office spaces. Testimony in Favor: None Testimony in Neutral: None. Testimony in Opposition: None. 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 Application seeks to have the property described herein rezoned from Multi-Use (MU) to High-Density Business B. Rezoning of the parcel will allow various businesses and uses to be located in this zone; C. The proposed use of the parcel will not create any non-conforming uses, and D. The Comprehensive Plan of the City of Jerome promotes providing areas of different residential densities and developing various types of businesses to meet the needs of the citizens of the City of Jerome. ---PAGE BREAK--- II. Conclusions A. Taken as a whole, the application complies with the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Jerome. It will not adversely affect the character of the area where the property is located. B. The Commission recommends that the property described above be approved for rezoning from mixed-use (MU) to High-Density Business These findings and conclusions, having been adopted by the Jerome City Planning and Zoning Commission on the 11th day of February 2025, in support of the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission on the 14th day of January 2025, to approve the application for a preliminary plat is hereby made final this 11th day of February 2025, subject to appeal by an interested party within the prescribed period under Idaho law. ROD MINK, Chairman of the Board Jerome City Planning and Zoning Please be advised Chapter 17.70, Section 17.70.080 of the Jerome Municipal Code provides guidance on how to appeal a decision by the Commission. The appeal must be made by filing a written appeal form with the City Clerk within ten (10) days of the mailing of the decision to the applicant. Remedies before the City of Jerome on such matters shall not be deemed to have been exhausted until a decision on such an appeal has been made by the City Council. Under Idaho Code, you also have 28 days from the date of approval of the Findings and Conclusions to request a regulatory takings analysis pursuant to Idaho Code 67-8003(2). D. Findings and Conclusions for a request from Jeff Couch for a front yard setback Variance on the property described as Lot 1 Blk 11, Stoney Ridge Subdivision #5 SE 7- 8-17, more commonly known as 1012 23rd Avenue East, Jerome, Idaho. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS ON A REQUEST FROM JEFF COUCH FOR A FRONT YARD SETBACK VARIANCE FOR LOT 1 BLOCK 11, STONEY RIDGE SUBDIVISION #5 (SE 7- 8-17) MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS 1012 23rd AVENUE EAST, JEROME, IDAHO A Public Hearing at the request of Jeff Couch for a front yard setback variance on the property commonly known as 1012 23rd Avenue East, Jerome, Idaho, was held, pursuant to notice, on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, 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 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, provided staff report and background on this request. Ms. Clark stated the house is currently being built in the new phase of the ---PAGE BREAK--- Stoney Ridge subdivision. The Applicant measured from the incorrect stake. The foundation has been poured. The Applicant has noted they can use the landscape area to blend the setback with the other lots. The front setback should be 25 feet and is currently at 21.5 feet. The property in question is currently zoned Residential 1 Regardless of use, setbacks for this property are as follows: Front- 25’; Rear- 20’; Interior Side- and Side Street- 15’. 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 site’s characteristics and that the variance is not in conflict with the public interest. Ms. Clark went over the Variance Criteria with the Commission. Regarding Criteria 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. The application notes that nothing is placed in the utility easement, and he did not realize that the subdivision plans include a landscape border along the sidewalk. Staff notes that this building lot has no special conditions or circumstances. The lot is a corner lot; however, it is 8,167 square feet, allowing all setbacks to be met. 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. A literal interpretation of the title would not deprive the applicant of any rights enjoyed by other properties. The Applicant is asking for a 21.5-foot setback because they measured from the incorrect place. No other variances for a front yard setback have been requested or approved in this subdivision phase. Regarding Criteria C- That special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. The request for a front yard setback variance directly results from the Applicant’s actions. Unfortunately, the Applicant measured from the incorrect stake when establishing the setback line. Staff also noted that they measured from the incorrect line at first. When inspecting another foundation, they noticed that something wasn’t correct. When city staff re-measured, the correct stake was used, and the 3.5-foot discrepancy was found. Regarding Criteria D- That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege denied by this title to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district. Variances are typically granted when the applicant proves undue hardship because of the site’s characteristics and the variance does not conflict with the ---PAGE BREAK--- public interest. While the variance does not conflict with the public interest, the Applicant has not proven an undue hardship. The Applicant stated to City staff that they could meet the setback by reducing the garage by 3.5 feet, as they have done this in Twin Falls in a similar situation. Ms. Clark stated staff has reviewed this request and they recommend the variance request be denied as there are no special conditions or circumstances peculiar to the land or structures. There is also a solution to fix the setback error. The Building Official, Kortnie Kent stated after reviewing the situation, I realized I used the incorrect reference point for my measurements. I sincerely apologize for this oversight. I have taken immediate steps to correct the measurement point and have verified that all other homes in this subdivision are accurate and compliant. It’s important to note that the Approved City Plan Set states, “The Contractor shall verify and is responsible for all dimensions.” When I issue a building permit, the Contractor must sign at the bottom, agreeing to “comply with all applicable provisions and ordinances governing this type of work.” Regarding Jerome Municipal Code 17.70.040: SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS AND SAFEGUARDS: Under no circumstances shall a variance or an appeal of a variance be granted 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. (Ord. 1070, 2010) Ms. Clark stated this is an unfortunate situation, where the property line is usually the sidewalk, but within this subdivision, they added a landscaping strip, so there was an error on both sides. Unfortunately, the variance code does state a variance is not given when it is at the Applicant’s actions. Ms. Clark showed the picture of the foundations to the Commission. Ms. Clark stated the Applicant can take 3 ½ feet off the garage. If the variance is approved, the Applicant has stated they can take some of the landscaping to blend. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Ms. Clark stated the stakes were set, and it is up to the developers or contractors to measure correctly. Once they have measured, the City will come out and measure. They were given permission to continue to pour the foundation. When staff went out and looked to verify it was correct, they found the discrepancy. Commissioner Reed stated there was an error on both sides. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Schroeder regarding the pictures, Ms. Clark confirmed the second foundation was at the correct 25 feet. Applicant Testimony: Jeff Couch, resident of Twin Falls, appeared and testified before the Commission. After being sworn in, Mr. Couch stated they normally measure from the sidewalk back. When the (City) inspector came back when the foundation was framed and before the foundation was poured, they were good. It wasn’t until the neighbor started pouring their foundation that they noticed the property pin was back. It was both their faults. With three feet, they will landscape the property to help. ---PAGE BREAK--- Commissioner Johnson inquired what the Applicant would do for landscaping. Mr. Couch stated since it was on the corner, he would like to go back three feet in the yard, put a retaining wall, and berm it out with landscaping. He stated he owned a landscaping company and would make it look good. Commissioner Reed stated it may be more work to take the three feet off the garage. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Mr. Couch stated a full-sized pickup may not fit into the garage if three feet is taken. Mr. Couch stated that is why he picked the variance route, as they can continue the build and blend it with the rest of the neighborhood. He stated most people will not see the difference unless they look from the side. Commissioner Reed stated he liked having a little bit of character with staggering the houses. Mr. Couch stated they are not within the easements for utilities, and Ms. Clark confirmed they were not. Upon inquiry from Chairman Mink regarding a full-sized pickup in the driveway, Mr. Couch stated that the driveway is still 22 feet and the garage would be 23 feet. Testimony in Favor: None. 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 A. The parcel of land commonly known as 1012 23rd Avenue East, Jerome, Idaho, is currently zoned Residential 1 B. The R-1 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 7 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 Applicate to have a 21.5-foot front setback. II. Conclusions A. The application is consistent with development standards and objectives for the R-1 zone. ---PAGE BREAK--- B. Not granting the variance as requested in the application would result in an unnecessary hardship to the Applicant—as referenced in Title 17 of the City of Jerome Municipal Code. C. This variance is granted, allowing a front yard setback variance of 3 ½ feet for a front yard setback of 21.5 feet. These findings and conclusions, having been adopted by the Jerome City Planning and Zoning Commission on the 11th day of February 2025, in support of the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission on the 14th day of January 2025, to approve the application for a preliminary plat is hereby made final this 11th day of February 2025, subject to appeal by an interested party within the prescribed period under Idaho law. ROD MINK, Chairman of the Board Jerome City Planning and Zoning Please be advised Chapter 17.70, Section 17.70.080 of the Jerome Municipal Code provides guidance on how to appeal a decision by the Commission.

DISCUSSION PERIOD & STAFF REPORTS Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Ms. Clark stated an empty commercial parcel connected to the apartments south of Dairy Queen is still for sale. As far as Ms. Clark is aware, the property owners want it to remain as commercial. Discussion was held on what would be placed on the empty parcel (i.e. coffee shop, deli, etc). Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Ms. Clark stated the message board was proposed to be in the little “pocket” park on the south side of the property. There was an agreement between the City and the developer to have an electronic message board to replace the banners, but with the costs of some of the other ---PAGE BREAK--- improvements on that parcel, it was removed from the budget. It is still an option to put a reader board in later. Commissioner Reed said he thought the developer would build and bring someone in for the commercial property. Ms. Clark stated the Alder & A improvements will hopefully start by April 1st, but may start the end of March if the weather is good. They will start at 1st Street West and Alder, head south to A Avenue, and go east to S Lincoln. She stated they met with JUB and did a preliminary cost review on the Main & Lincoln project. The cost is astronomical. The Alder and A improvements are on a grant, but the Main & Lincoln project was budgeted. They are working with ITD. Main Street and the stop light are ITD. Plan is to come down S Lincoln to D Street. They are finding the water lines on Main Street are worse than they thought. They want to replace those lines since they are tearing up Main Street. She stated they are still working on the plans. They hope to get the bid out in early spring to have an early summer start date. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Schroeder, Ms. Clark stated that with the last storm, the pot holes are getting worse on Main Street and they have let ITD know. Ms. Clark gave a brief legislation update. She stated that there isn’t much for Planning and Zoning at this time, but there is a bill that will try to make it so they cannot do consent agendas on the agenda. Another bill would remove the requirement to publish Public Hearings in the local newspaper. Commissioner Johnson asked for the light sensors on Main & Lincoln to be fixed. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Schroder regarding the old Nampa Auto Parts building, Ms. Clark stated the property owners still want to build but the costs are high. They also may have to resubmit building plans. She stated they have asked the owners to at least demolish the building. Commissioner Reed stated the Cooks Building’s sign may be in violation of the nit requirements at night. Ms. Clark stated she would talk with Cooks. Discussion was held on other EMD signs. Commissioner Fraser inquired about renaming Nez Perce to Bird Farm Road and asked if there is support for a petition. Discussion was held on road names within the City. Ms. Clark stated it would need to be a Resolution with the City Council. Without further discussion, Chairman Mink closed this regular meeting at 8:06 p.m. Rod Mink, Chairman Katie Elliott, Secretary
