Special Use Request: Staff Report I. Background: 212 Yakima Avenue East has been a residential use for several years. Previous owners had horses, sheep, and other livestock. The parcel was rezoned to High-Density Business in September 2019. A Special Use Permit (SUP) was approved in February of 2024, allowing up to eight sheep and six hens. The applicant is requesting renewal of the SUP for eight sheep. Chickens are now reviewed and allowed administratively. II. As pertains to Title 17 of the JMC, the Land Use Ordinance a. The property in question, 212 Yakima Ave. East in Jerome is currently zoned High- Density Business as detailed in 17.14.010 of the JMC, and is approximately two acres. b. The proposed use, the possession of livestock (sheep), requires a Special Use Permit from the Planning and Zoning Commission as detailed in 17.14.010 of the JMC. c. 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. d. Horses, Cattle, and Sheep require a Special Use Permit if, “No such animals at all be on the real property for a period of at least one year, then a special use permit shall be required before any such animals may be quartered on the real property” as detailed in 17.18.050 letter J. i. This parcel had no such animals for over one year when Mr. Sharafov purchased the parcel; therefore, a Special Use Permit was required in 2024. III. As pertains to the City of Jerome’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan a. This 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 within city limits that allow some agricultural activity and limited animal husbandry. IV. As pertains to Title 8 of the JMC, the ordinance addressing nuisances a. According to 8.08.010, chicken and livestock manure is considered a public nuisance according to the following definition: All manure and other waste matter normally accumulated in or about a stable, or any animal, livestock, or poultry ---PAGE BREAK--- Planning and Zoning Department City Hall 152 East Ave A Jerome, ID 83338 (208) 324–8189 www.cityofjerome.org enclosure and resulting from the keeping of animals, poultry or livestock. (8.08.010) i. Proper disposal of stable matter must be considered. Special Use Permit Criteria Staff Analysis V. 17.60.030: GENERAL STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USES: The commission shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed special use in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate evidence showing that such use at the proposed location: a. Will, in fact, constitute a special use as established in section 17.60.060 of this chapter for the zoning district involved; i. Staff Analysis: The Planning and Zoning Code allows livestock in the C-3 zone with an approved special use permit. 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; i. Staff Analysis: The request appears to be harmonious with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and Title 17 of the Jerome Municipal Code. 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; i. Staff Analysis: The animals are kept in a fenced area located to the east and north of the existing home. There are existing barns and corrals to provide shelter. The general vicinity is business with a mix of residential lots. If properly cared for, the livestock would not alter the area's essential character. d. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses; i. Staff Analysis: The applicant notes they would like livestock for weed/grass control and other purposes, like meat. The livestock must be properly cared for to avoid disturbing neighboring uses. Water and feed will need to be provided during months when they are not readily available. It is noted that Code Enforcement has not received any complaints from neighboring properties. 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; i. Staff Analysis: No additional services have been needed. ---PAGE BREAK--- Planning and Zoning Department City Hall 152 East Ave A Jerome, ID 83338 (208) 324–8189 www.cityofjerome.org 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; i. Staff Analysis: Livestock does not create excessive additional requirements at public cost. 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; i. Staff Analysis: If not properly cared for, livestock can become a nuisance. They can also become detrimental due to excessive noise and odor. Because the property is over one acre, the manure can be composted on-site. Adequate care and fencing must be provided to ensure animals are kept within the property boundaries and do not cause excessive noise. Again, Code Enforcement has not received any complaints regarding the sheep. 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; and i. Staff Analysis: No impact. i. Will not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of a natural, scenic, or historic feature of major importance. i. Staff Analysis: N/A VI. 17.60.050: SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS AND SAFEGUARDS: In granting any special use, the council may prescribe appropriate conditions, bonds and safeguards in conformity with this title. Violations of such conditions, bonds or safeguards, when made a part of the terms under which the special use is granted, shall be deemed a violation of this title. a. Recommend Conditions: i. Sheep will not create odors, excessive noise, nor be detrimental to persons, property, or the general welfare; ii. Can possess up to eight sheep; iii. Adequate fencing kept at all times for the sheep; and iv. Special use permit shall be allowed for up to five years, renewable upon expiration. ---PAGE BREAK--- US-ID41320-P-2026-6 package WORKSPACE INFORMATION Application number US-ID41320-P-2026-6 Category Special Use Workspace state In approval Workspace created 01/20/2026, 11:40:39 AM MST Application submitted 01/20/2026, 11:45:56 AM MST Assignee Package generation date 02/19/2026, 11:51:45 AM MST LOCATION INFORMATION Address 212 YAKIMA AVE E, City of Jerome, ID Property information RPJ00000307059A, JEROME UNPLATTED TAX 2206722 OF SESW SEC 30 T8 R17 2.00 AC ANNEXED INTO JEROME CITY 2008 PARTIES NAME AND COMPANY CONTACT DETAILS ROLES Murod Sharafov IDAHO TRUCK & TRAILER REPAIR LLC 754 Bigholland Dr Twin Falls +1 [PHONE REDACTED] Applicant, Property owner ---PAGE BREAK--- Special Use City Hall 152 East Avenue A Jerome, ID 83338 (208) 324–8189 Project Information Current Use Renewal of Sheep and kids onsite.

All cities and counties were required to renegotiate the Areas of Impact in conformance with the new language and establish the areas by December 31, 2025. This has been done and approved by the Jerome County Commissioners. The new language in the Idaho Code clearly defined the area of impact as within the county's control. This includes ordinances and development provisions. City staff met with the County to review and edit the County’s AOI ordinance in Chapter 10. This chapter outlines guidelines, allowed uses in the AOI, and how development occurs in the area of impact. With the new language in the Idaho Code and Jerome County's adoption of Chapter 10, Title 17.110 of the Jerome Municipal Code is no longer needed or compliant. Tonight’s request is to recommend repealing this section of municipal code to the City Council, as the Idaho Code has made it clear that AOI and any ordinances are clearly within the County’s jurisdiction and control. ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF JEROME PLANNING & ZONING Ida Clark, City Planner 152 East Ave A [PHONE REDACTED] x 140 [EMAIL REDACTED] NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on Tuesday, the 24th day of February 2026, at the hour of 6:00 p.m., a public hearing will be held before the City of Jerome Planning and Zoning Commission at City of Jerome Council Chambers, 100 East Avenue A, Jerome, Idaho to consider AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JEROME, IDAHO, REPEALING CHAPTER 17.110 OF THE JEROME MUNICIPAL CODE IN ITS ENTIRETY; DECLARING THAT THE SUBJECT MATTER OF SAID CHAPTER IS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF JEROME COUNTY; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Dated this 30th day of January 2026. Ida Clark City Planner PUBLISH: February 7th, 2026 ---PAGE BREAK--- Planning & Zoning Meeting February 10, 2026 This regular meeting of the City of Jerome Planning & Zoning Commission was called to order at 6:00 p.m. Present were Chairman Rod Mink, Commissioner Benjamin Reed, Commissioner Jeff Schroeder, Commissioner Shonna Fraser, and Commissioner Paul Johnson. Also present were City Planner Ida Clark, Legal Counsel BJ Hess, and Secretary Katie Elliott. Chairman Mink led the audience in recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. Chairman Mink called the Public Hearing to order at 6:01 p.m. Public Hearing for a request from Sara Lozanna Cromer for a Front Yard Setback Variance for a home addition, on the property described as Lot 1, Blk 62 Jerome Townsite (SW 18-8-17), more commonly known as 329 2nd Avenue East, Jerome, Idaho. Staff Report: Ms. Clark stated the home at 329 2nd Ave East was built in the 1950s. The home includes an attached, non-enclosed front porch. The application seeks approval for an addition to the home that would encroach upon the 25-foot front yard setback. The addition would be approximately 14 feet wide by 6 feet long. The addition would encroach on the front setback by approximately six feet. The property in question, 329 2nd Ave East, is currently zoned Residential 2 Ms. Clark defined a Setback Line as a measurement from the foundation to the property line. Setbacks for the R-2 zone are Front 25’ and Street Side 15’. The home is setback 25’ from the front and 15’ from the streetside property lines. Ms. Clark reminded the commission the definition of a Variance is a modification of the requirements of this title as to lot size, lot coverage, width, depth, front yard, side yard, rear yard, setbacks, parking space, height of buildings, or other provisions of this title affecting the size or shape of a structure or the placement of the structure upon lots, or the size of lots. A variance shall not be considered a right or special privilege but may be granted to an applicant only upon a showing of undue hardship because of the characteristics of the site and that the variance is not in conflict with the public interest. The applicant requests a variance on the front yard setback requirement of 25’ for a front addition to the existing home. Ms. Clark went over the Variance Criteria with the commission. Regarding Standard A- That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district. The home is existing. There are no special conditions or circumstances that exist with this property other than it was built when the applicant purchased it. ---PAGE BREAK--- Regarding Standard B- That a literal interpretation of the provisions of this title would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this title. The application notes that other properties in the same block appear to have enclosed areas that encroach into the front setback. Regarding Standard C- That special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. The request to build an addition is a direct result of the applicant. Regarding Standard D- That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this title to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. The application notes granting the variance will not confer any special privilege on the applicant. They feel it would improve the home's appearance, and the addition will fit the neighborhood. Ms. Clark stated she received the following comment back from City Staff: Will need to keep the street-side setback as it is a corner lot. Ms. Clark reminded the commission that variances should not be approved unless there is something peculiar with the lot or land, and it is not a direct result of the applicant. After inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Ms. Clark showed the commission where the property lines were on the map shown. Upon Commissioner Reed's inquiry regarding the petitioner's statement that other houses appear to encroach on the setbacks, Ms. Clark showed the pictures provided by the applicant. Ms. Clark stated that the applicant is requesting an addition to the front of the house, not a porch. Discussion was held regarding the property and the measurement point; whether a porch without a foundation is counted versus a porch with a foundation; porches being non-livable space and a new expansion is livable space; and whether only the front of the house is measured, not the side. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Ms. Clark read the definition of a variance to the commission. Applicant Testimony: Bridger Smith, resident of Kimberly, testified that his clients want to extend a portion of their house out 6 feet, which would be in line with the porch. It will be from the corner of the house to the porch, which is about 10 feet wide by 6 feet long. He stated it is a very simple project. Upon inquiry from Ms. Clark, the roof of the house would line up with the edge of the porch and would not go any further east into the side yard setback. Testimony in Favor: Ms. Elliott read the following onto the record: Robert Groves, resident of Jerome Support the application- no further information provided Paula Vanhoozer, resident of Jerome Support the application- no further information provided Mike & Rachel Evans, property owner in Jerome ---PAGE BREAK--- Support the application Sara Lozanna has lived in her home for years and should be able to remodel her front yard for her home addition. There being no other testimony in favor, neutral, or in opposition, Chairman Mink closed the Public Hearing at 6:14 p.m. Consider a request for Sara Lozanna Cromer for a Front Yard Setback Variance for a home addition, on the property described as Lot 1, Blk 62 Jerome Townsite (SW 18-8-17), more commonly known as 329 2nd Avenue East, Jerome, Idaho- action item Ms. Clark stated that the commission recently approved a front porch variance, but that the variance did not create livable space. Extensive discussion was held on the wording of the code and if their hands were tied if it is a result from the actions of the applicant; is it different from the other properties; are other properties using their porches as livable space; if they need to revisit setback code since they have seen an increase of variance applications; the appearance of where the property line is to where it actually starts when there is a larger right- of-way; the intent of what setbacks are for; if the other surrounding houses also encroaching into the right-of-way; the code being silent in regards to porches; and the visibility of traffic for cross streets. Commissioner Schroeder made a motion to approve front yard setback variance from Sara Lozanna Cromer on the property described as Lot 1, Blk 62 Jerome Townsite SW 18-8-17, more commonly known as 329 2nd Avenue East, Jerome, Idaho, finding granting the variance will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this title to other lands or structures and the following conditions shall be: Front porch will not extend into the street side yard setback or encroach more than six feet into the front yard setback; and Comply with all City, State, and Federal requirements. Seconded by Commissioner Johnson and carried. After consideration, the motion passed by the following votes: AYE: Commissioner Reed, Commissioner Schroeder, Commissioner Fraser, and Commissioner Johnson. NAYE: None. Chairman Mink called the Public Hearing to order at 6:22 p.m. Public Hearing for a request from Steve Irwin for a Special Use Permit allowing two apartments, on the property described as Lots 31 & 32 Blk 75 Jerome Townsite (SE 13-8-16), more commonly known as 204 West Main Street, Jerome, Idaho. Staff Report: Ms. Clark gave a brief background on the property. This is an existing two- story building at the corner of West Main and North Alder. Over the years, it has served various uses, including as a bar and a residential unit. The building has been vacant for at least the last ---PAGE BREAK--- ten years. The application requests approval to remodel the building for the use of two dwelling units on the second floor. The first floor would remain available for commercial uses. She stated the property is zoned Central Business District (CBD). The proposed use, dwelling units, requires a Special Use Permit from the Planning and Zoning Commission. 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 the following: 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 reviewed the Special Use Permit Criteria 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 dwelling units in the CBD 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 Title 17 of the Jerome Municipal Code and the Comprehensive Plan. 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 shows two-dwelling units on the second floor. Each unit will have two bedrooms. There are other businesses to the north and south, with some residential north on 1st Avenue West. The residential uses would be located in the existing building with no significant changes that would change the existing or intended character of the area. Regarding Standard D- Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses. There are no hazardous or disturbing impacts from adding residential uses in this area. 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 ---PAGE BREAK--- and sewer connections exist. Public safety is not a concern. If approved, the applicant will work with Fire through the building permit process. 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 residential uses 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 the addition of dwelling units will be detrimental to any persons, property, or the general welfare because of excessive production of noise or traffic. 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 an impact on parking that will need to be considered, as this property has no on-site parking. Each unit shall have two parking spaces. A total of four parking spaces is required. The building goes all the way to the alley so there is no available area to park on 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 use will not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of a natural, scenic, or historic feature of major importance. This building is not on the historic register. Ms. Clark reviewed the off-street parking code with the commission. According to the code, studio dwelling units shall have 1.5 parking spaces. The code permits parking spaces to be located no more than 300 ft from the residence. The applicant must provide a parking agreement from the adjoining property owners that addresses parking for at least four spaces. Ms. Clark stated that, with respect to the landscaping requirements, this project is located in the CBD zone and is subject to an exception due to the zero lot line setbacks of the existing building. This is an existing building with zero lot-line setbacks and located on a corner. For visibility reasons, staff does not recommend additional landscaping at this time. Ms. Clark stated that she sent the application to city staff and received the following comment: "Parking must be addressed." If approved, Ms. Clark recommended the following conditions: Comply with all City of Jerome Department requirements pertaining to the construction and needed improvements; Special Use Permit allows up to two-dwelling units on the second floor; Parking agreements shall remain in place as long as the units are occupied; Comply with all city, state, and federal requirements; and Special Use Permit shall be permanent. ---PAGE BREAK--- Upon inquiry by Commissioner Fraser, Ms. Clark stated that they will address the east- side windows in the Design Review following the public hearing. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Ms. Clark stated the applicant initially met with City Staff and they are addressing all the requirements for dwellings regarding safety. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Ms. Clark stated the bottom floor will be left for commercial uses and understands that parking downtown is hard but they do not want to discourage businesses from coming in and with the applicant trying to secure apartment parking elsewhere, the street parking can be for patrons. Applicant testimony: Steve Irwin, a resident from Twin Falls, testified that he purchased the building with Virgil Horner and gave a brief background on him and what appealed to him about purchasing the property. They would like to have residential on the top and commercial tenants on the bottom. They are working with Jerome County regarding parking. Upon inquiry by Commissioner Reed, Mr. Irwin stated that there should be no conflict between the commercial space on the bottom and the residential space upstairs. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Schroeder, Mr. Irwin stated they are working with Jerome County to secure four parking spaces in the northeast corner of the Annex Building parking lot. Discussion was held on where they want to have the parking spots; Jerome County council submitting public notice for leasing public parking; putting signage with times of designated spaces; how to enforce the reserved parking; safety of tenants crossing the streets; and working with Jerome County on how they would like them to control parking. Joshua Howa, a Twin Falls resident with Suburban Construction Architect, went over the site plan in great detail. They will relocate the residential entrance to the side of the building, so the commercial entrance will be off the main road; remove the wooden fencing to the east; add cement external steps to the building; and provide parking across the road to the south. Testimony in Neutral: Eric Lewis, a resident of Jerome, inquired about customer parking. He stated that he has owned Eric’s Upholstery, located north of the property, for the past 35 years and wanted to ensure that it did not block the alley. He understands they are fixing up the building and that it will be nice. Commissioner Johnson stated that they will lease four parking spaces in the Annexation Building parking lot. There being no other testimony in favor, neutral, or in opposition, Chairman Mink closed the Public Hearing at 6:45 p.m. Consider a request for Steve Irwin for a Special Use Permit allowing two apartments, on the property described as Lots 31 & 32 Blk 75 Jerome Townsite (SE 13-8-16), more commonly known as 204 West Main Street, Jerome, Idaho- action item Commissioner Reed stated that he supports the application and that it will be a great addition to the city. He inquired if they could make a provision in the motion regarding the parking agreement with Jerome County. Ms. Clark stated that they can make it a condition that ---PAGE BREAK--- the parking agreement remain in effect as long as the units are occupied, and that the Special Use permit would not be issued until staff have a signed copy of the agreement. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to approve the Special Use Permit from Steve Irwin allowing two dwelling units, located at 204 West Main Street, Jerome, Idaho, with the following conditions: Comply with all City of Jerome Department requirements pertaining to the construction and needed improvements; Special Use Permit allows up to two-dwelling units on the second floor; Parking agreement, with Jerome County or another property owner within 300 feet, will be needed before the Special Use Permit is permitted and shall remain in place as long as the units are occupied; Comply with all city, state, and federal requirements; and Special Use Permit shall be permanent. Seconded by Commissioner Schroeder and carried. After consideration, the motion passed by the following votes: AYE: Commissioner Reed, Commissioner, Schroeder, Commissioner Fraser, and Commissioner Johnson. NAYE: None. Consider a Design Review request for 204 West Main Street, Jerome, Idaho - action item Ms. Clark stated the application proposes adding windows to the building's upper and lower levels, which will change the look of the building. Ms. Clark referred Josh Howa to present the Design Review. Mr. Howa went over the proposed design of the building with the commission. He stated that there are breeze blocks on the front of the building, which may be converted into windows when a commercial tenant is secured. They will replace all current windows and add a few more to break up the flat wall on the building's east side. They will also add a door on the east side of the building. They will also take out the fencing around the courtyard. Extensive discussion was held on the existing windows; additional windows for the common area on the second floor; safety plan for the second floor; egress windows on the west side of the building for the second floor; only having a single commercial space to help reduce the occupancy load but may add more in the future if needed; parking requirements for use; sprinkler requirements and the fire separation between the commercial level and the residential level; building being built in 1920; keeping the historical façade; not changing the current color; potentially working with Jerome 20/20 for a mural on the east wall of the building; adding relief around the windows; possibly taking the cinderblock wall out and putting windows; coming back for a Design Review for a mural; the costs of rehabbing the building and needing to do some projects in phases; no one wanting a big blank wall; and the natural relief that is currently on the building. Ms. Clark reminded the commission that the Design Review would go to the City Council if the motion is not unanimous. ---PAGE BREAK--- Commissioner Reed made a motion to approve the design review for a façade updated as presented at 204 West Main Street. Seconded by Commissioner Fraser and carried. After consideration, the motion passed by the following votes: AYE: Commissioner Reed, Commissioner Schroeder, Commissioner Fraser, and Commissioner Johnson. NAYE: None. Chairman Mink called the Public Hearing to order at 7:18 p.m. Public Hearing for a request for annexation and zoning of the one parcel surrounded by the City boundary described in Appendix A. Staff Report: Ms. Clark stated that this application is a cleanup. The application request is to annex a parcel containing approximately 1.27 acres on the east side of South Davis Street. The applicant proposes that the land be zoned Public/Semipublic (PS). The application states that the property currently includes a storage shed for the Recreation District's equipment and a changing room for the soccer teams. Before Founders Park was created, Candlelight Park was a small park that included a section within the City Boundary; that section is now overflow parking between South Cleveland and South Davis Streets. The other section of the park, this 1.27 acres, remained in the County. There is an existing Section Line that splits the old Candlelight Park almost in half. In 1996, a large tract of land west of the Section Line was annexed into the City Boundary, leaving out the portion of the park to the east of the Section Line. The parcel is contiguous to the boundary of the City of Jerome. The Future Land Use Map has it as Rural Residential. The property owner has given consent. The Executive Director of the Jerome Recreation District has requested and consented to annexation. The applicant requested annexation from the City Council on January 20 in a recorded letter, which stated the land was contiguous. The City Council has directed the Planning & Zoning Commission to review this request. The applicant and staff recommend a zoning of Public/Semipublic (PS) as the area is utilized for the Jerome Recreation District and serves as an accessory to Founders Park. The PS zone permits art, entertainment, and recreation; parks and park recreation; parking lots; and other public uses. As proposed, Ms. Clark stated the annexation request meets the following chapter in the City of Jerome’s Comprehensive plan: Chapter 5 – Our Public Service: Objective 5.3: Preserve existing City parks and recreation activities while seeking opportunities for new parks, open space, and programs for all ages; and Chapter 6 – Our Quality of Life: Foster a supportive, healthy, and resilient community of residents, rooted in Jerome’s rich history, that collaborates to welcome visitors and newcomers and offers opportunities for everyone to live, work, and play. ---PAGE BREAK--- Regarding the Area of Impact, City staff discussed this with Jerome County Planning & Zoning. There is an open building permit; however, the City Building Official will coordinate with the County’s building official to complete any required inspections before annexation is finalized. After the public hearing at the Planning and Zoning meeting, the Commissioners shall consider the following and forward a recommendation to the City Council regarding the compatibility of the comprehensive plan with the proposed zoning for the unincorporated area: the parcel is adjacent to the City limit boundary; will the proposed zone have any detrimental effects on the City’s or any other public entity’s ability to provide public services to the annexed land, and is the proposed amendment consistent with the policies of the adopted comprehensive plan? Ms. Clark explained the area's location on the map and the Section Line that created an irregular parcel, for which a lot line adjustment will be required upon annexation. Applicant testimony: Gary Warr, Recreation District Manager, resident of Jerome, stated this parcel was part of the old Candlelight Park. They recently constructed a maintenance building on the property and are currently constructing a changing room/locker room for the CSI soccer program. Mr. Warr stated that part of the old Candlelight Park was within the city, and the other part was not. This part was not within the city. They are seeking to correct the irregularities in the zoning and lot lines so that the new park can be deeded to the Recreation District and the city can accept the road as a right-of-way. Commissioner Reed stated the city seems to have a lot of weird areas within the city that need to be cleaned up. After the inquiry, Commissioner Johnson, Ms. Clark stated that the other parcel to the west did not want to join the annexation, and with the new state law regarding annexation, they will be looking to see how to move forward at a later date, since it has no impact on the city at this time. The property is not connected to the city sewer system, but it is connected to the city water system.

Staff Report: Ms. Clark went over the updated language with the commission regarding the Accessory Use or Structure Code. The proposed language is “Cargo or shipping containers may be used as temporary storage structures in any zoning district during active construction or remodeling on a permitted site. Such containers shall be removed within thirty (30) days following issuance of a certificate of occupancy or completion of the construction project, whichever occurs first. In Commercial and Industrial zoning districts, cargo or shipping may be used or maintained as permanent accessory structures, provided they are neutral in color, well- maintained, and do not pose a safety hazard. Additional screening or placement standards may be required as specified elsewhere in this title.” A discussion was held regarding the updated proposed language and whether construction offices would be subject to this code. Ms. Clark stated that she removed the fence height requirement, but the other changes from previous meetings remained: a minimum front lot width of 50 feet and single-family units with a primary entrance facing the street, with a porch or landing. Upon inquiry by Chairman Mink regarding the effective date, Ms. Clark stated that, once the City Council approves the ordinance, the City Clerk will publish it, and that will be the effective date.
