III. The following Design Review Guidelines should be considered: Section 5.4 Sign Guidelines Signs are the highest profile element that the public is aware of and leaves the public with an impression of the community. Signs must be of high quality and fit the needs of the situation, while blending with the rest of the community’s desires. A garish sign may promote additional short term recognition, but will reduce the community’s long term attractiveness and image. Sign clutter, even of quality signs, will also reduce the community’s attractiveness and image and is more confusing than informative. No matter how much citizens and developers improve their existing and future community’s commercial, industrial, and residential area’s buildings, parks, roads, landscaping, etc., the image of the community will not improve unless the community’s signage is raised to the same level of quality as the rest of the community. Jerome Municipal Code for Standards: 1. Promote sign design and placement that reflects the community’s desire for human scale regarding height, proposition, site features, shapes and materials. • The electronic message display sign is professionally designed and meets the appropriate height and materials required. 2. Signs must be produced using professional workmanship without hand lettering or with a sloppy or garish paint job. ---PAGE BREAK--- Planning and Zoning Department City Hall 152 East Ave A Jerome, ID 83338 (208) 324–8189 www.cityofjerome.org • The application indicates the sign will be professionally manufactured and follows Bubble Barn signage. 3. The primary sign(s) for a business must be constructed of permanent materials. Unacceptable temporary materials include but are not limited to paper, cardboard, vinyl banner, fabric, poster board, and unfinished wood. • The pictures show it is constructed of durable, all-weather material. 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.

As pertains to Title 17 of the JMC, the Land Use Ordinance a. The property in question contains two parcels. Parcel 1 is approximately 1.16 acres, and Parcel 2 is approximately 1.34 acres. Both parcels are zoned Residential 3 as detailed in 17.14.020 of the JMC. b. The proposed project, a lot split requires approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission as detailed in 16.16.045 of the JMC. c. Regardless of use, setbacks for each parcel are as follows i. Front: 25’, Rear 20’, Interior Side Side Street 15’ d. Minimum lot size: 5,000 Square Feet II. As pertains to Title 16 of the JMC, the Subdivision Ordinance a. The lot split is subject to Section 16.16.045, an analysis is attached. III. As pertains to Jerome Comprehensive Plan a. Meets the following objectives within Chapter Four – Our Built Environment: i. Objective 4.3: Diversify the variety of housing types within the City, while protecting existing neighborhoods. Lot Split Criteria Staff Analysis 17.03.450 LOT: A parcel of land of sufficient size to meet minimum zoning requirements for use, coverage and area, and to provide such yards and other open spaces as are herein required. Such lot shall have frontage, as may be required within this title, on an improved public street, or on an approved private street, and may consist of: a single lot of record, a portion of a lot of record, a combination of complete lots of record, or of portions of lots of record (Ord. 1070, 2010) 16.16.025: PREAPPLICATION PROCEDURE: • The applicant submitted a pre-application with a copy of the sketch plan. 16.16.030: PROOF OF OWNERSHIP REQUIRED: ---PAGE BREAK--- Planning and Zoning Department City Hall 152 East Ave A Jerome, ID 83338 (208) 324–8189 www.cityofjerome.org In making application for approval of a subdivision plat, the owner shall submit a current title report or provide other evidence acceptable by the city council to establish ownership of the real property within the subdivision. (Ord. 994 2006) • Proof of ownership has been established. 16.16.045: SUBDIVISION OF PROPERTY WITHOUT PLAT/LOT SPLITS: After reviewing the pre-application, the administrator may, in his or her sole discretion, submit the pre-application to the Planning and Zoning Commission for approval without a plat. If, after public hearing, the commission finds that the proposed subdivision is to: • Split one lot into two (a “lot split”); • The proposed lot split will not have a substantial impact on present or proposed public utilities, streets and parks; • Is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; • Both resulting lots will meet minimum size and minimum lot size requirements for the relevant zone; and • Each lot has a minimum of twenty-five (25) feet of street frontage. No plat shall be required and the lot split may be approved by the commission without submittal to the City Council. If a lot split occurs, any subsequent divisions of the split land require subdivision review and approval. The proposed two lots have no development as parcel 2 is odd-shaped, and access to utilities is limited for both parcels. The applicant is requesting to do a lot line adjustment, which is an administrative approval, then do one lot split, creating three parcels. There is an existing garage that is not on a foundation and is not impacted by the request to split the lots. As proposed, Parcel 1 is .90 acres, and Parcel 2 and Parcel 3 are .80 acres, meeting the 5,000 square-foot lot requirement. Each lot will exceed the minimum 25’ street frontage requirement per the Jerome Municipal Code. Parcel 1 has access from West Ave D and West Blvd. The other two parcels will have 108 feet of street frontage and access from West Ave D. The application states there will not be a substantial impact on public utilities. Water is available for connection in West Ave D. However, connection to the City’s sewer system is not available. The sewer line in West Blvd. is a pressurized line. The next closest location to connect to the City sewer system is approximately 950 feet away. City staff sent the application to the South Central Public Health District. Upon review from the environmental team, conditional approval was given for three parcels. Staff reviewed the comments with the applicant. The applicant understands that conditional approval from South Central means there are future requirements that must be met before a home can be built. Any future divisions of land will require subdivision review and approval as outlined in the Jerome Municipal Code. A notice regarding the proposed lot split was sent to local taxing districts. ---PAGE BREAK--- Planning and Zoning Department City Hall 152 East Ave A Jerome, ID 83338 (208) 324–8189 www.cityofjerome.org STAFF COMMENTS: • Engineering: Access to gravity City sewer is approximately 950 feet from the lots. Connection to pressurized sewer in West Boulevard would require pumping. • Fire: With the deep lots, fire, has a concern with possible fire apparatus access to any structures that may be built in excess of 150 ft. from the roadway. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS: • The lot split shall meet all City of Jerome Department requirements of construction and any other needed improvements; • A Building permit will not be issued until authorization of a variance from South Central Health District is received; and • Comply with all city, state, and federal requirements. ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---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 12th day of November 2024, at the hour of 7:00 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 a request from Roel Quinones-Cerron for Lot Splits, on the property described below: Parcel 1- Tax 2185191-1 of Block A-277 Inside Acreage (NW 24-8-16), and Parcel 2- Block A-277 (less tax 2185191-1) Inside Acreage (NW 24-8-16), more commonly known as the pasture on the southeast corner of West Avenue D and West Blvd, Jerome, Idaho.

Any chicken coop or accessory structure associated with the chickens, poultry, or fowl shall be placed in accordance with the accessory structure setback requirements. e. Chickens, poultry, or fowl shall not be kept in the front yard. f. Chickens, Poultry, and Fowl are exempt from obtaining a special use permit; however, an application shall be completed and approved administratively by the planning and zoning department. g. Any unresolved violations of 1. a through e or nuisance complaints regarding smell and/or noise will result in the permit being revoked.

The Comprehensive Plan Map designates the property in question as Residential Medium. Ms. Clark went over the Preliminary Plat Criteria. Regarding 16.16.050: Preliminary Plat, Ms. Clark stated the applicant has provided a complete subdivision application with adequate information to review the preliminary plat.

The following agencies were sent a notice regarding the proposed subdivision: Idaho Power, Intermountain Gas, School District, Jerome County, Northside Canal Co. (NSCC), and the Post Office. NSCC requires a 20’ easement, not a 15’ easement as shown. City departments including Building, Engineering, Fire, Public Works, and Wastewater were given the opportunity to comment on this application. Ms. Clark stated ---PAGE BREAK--- she received the following comments: Change the subdivision name; Add NSCC signature block; and Add the location of needed light poles and mailboxes.

Each lot will have its own street frontage. The applicant met with the Fire Department as these lots will be deep. At 160’ into the property, the applicant and the Fire department have agreed to not develop any housing past that mark. They may have a shop or a shed. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Schroeder, Ms. Clark stated the two inside lots are 35’ wide and the side setbacks are seven feet. Ms. Clark stated the lots are narrow, however, the house plans can have multiple levels. Due to the canal, depth of each lot will differ. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Ms. Clark stated some lots are 40’ wide and some are 50’. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Reed, Ms. Clark stated they cannot discriminate what homes are in the area but if they choose to have manufactured homes, they would have to be put on a foundation. Upon inquiry from Chairman Mink, Ms. Clark stated the NSCC is requesting a 20’ easement not a 15’ easement as shown. Chairman Mink stated NSCC stated they need enough room to get their equipment through. Ms. Clark stated it varies how much room they need. They are asking for 20’ in residential areas and 40’ in commercial areas. NSCC will not sign the plat without their requirements met. Applicant Testimony: Gregory Blake, a resident of Jerome, after being sworn it stated, regarding the easement, he stated he walked the property with the canal company and was told 15’ because the other side of the canal was very accessible and was not able to be closed off. He’s open to changing it to 20’. Mr. Blake stated he does not intend to put manufactured homes on the property. In Boise, they have narrow in-fill lots that include two-story homes. He was a contractor for about 35 years. He has noticed that there have been some 20’ wide homes in Hailey that look very attractive. Commissioner Reed inquired why four lots instead of two larger lots. Mr. Blake stated it was because of money, and he plans to live on the property in one of the homes. Mr. Blake stated the lots will be well landscaped before homes are sold. He believes he has met all minimum requirements, and plans to live on the largest lot. Testimony in Favor: Ms. Coderniz read the following onto the record: Michael Pate, resident of Jerome. Supports the application. No further comment was provided. Sharon Garner, resident of Jerome. Supports the application I see no reason why he can’t build on this property. He will make a great neighbor and I know he’ll be great at keeping his place clean. Janis Hancock, resident of Jerome Supports the application. No further comment was provided. Testimony in Neutral: None ---PAGE BREAK--- Testimony in Opposition: Ms. Coderniz read the following onto the record: Alberta Sites, resident of Jerome Oppose the application I live directly across from this property. I have heard one house, 4 houses and duplexes. 4 houses is too many. The street here is a very busy street as it is the bus route. Also the park brings a tremendous amount of traffic and people park on other people’s property, sometimes even in the driveways. I think a house is ok, but not 4 and not sure about duplexes. Is he looking at selling these houses/duplexes or renting? That also makes a difference. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t take care of property and I don’t want my property (that I take care of) to be devalued because of junk I have to look at every day. I strongly oppose 4 houses being built here. I am directly across from the lot. The street is very busy street all year long and with the park it is bad. Sometimes you have to wait a long time to pull out of your driveway depending on the time of day. One house would be fine, but no more… Rebuttal Testimony: Mr. Blake stated since the accident, he has not had a chance to speak to neighbors directly. Ms. Clark stated 8th Street is a busy street with parking during sports events. When a lot is developed, each lot is require two off-street parking spaces for each single-family home. There will only be four single family homes. She stated Engineering reviewed the plat and had no concerns with the traffic from those lots. Commissioner Reed stated it does bottleneck on that corner. There being no other testimony in favor, neutral, or in opposition, Chairman Mink closed the Public Hearing at 7: 18 p.m. Consider a request from Gregory G Blake for a four lot Residential Subdivision, on the property described as Tax 2220806 of BLK A-212 Jerome Townsite (SE 18-8-17), more commonly known as the vacant property on 8th Avenue East between 808 N Fillmore St and 821 8th Avenue E, Jerome, Idaho, containing approximately 27,041.95 square feet- action item Commissioner Johnson inquired how far from the intersection are these lots. Ms. Clark stated there is one house before them and the corner. Commissioner Reed stated there is a traffic concern, as he has seen this on numerous occasions. He understands the traffic concern. Commissioner Johnson stated he does not see four homes creating a traffic jam. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Schroeder, Ms. Clark stated there is no sidewalk going west on 8th Avenue East. There is a development agreement that will require a sidewalk along 8th. Discussion was held on sidewalk requirements. Paul spoke of funding that covered the 10th Avenue sidewalk project. Commissioner Johnson inquired about a bike path. Ms. Clark stated this application does not address a bike path. ---PAGE BREAK--- Commissioner Johnson made a motion to conditionally approve the request from Gregory G Blake for a 4-lot residential preliminary plat, Located at Tax 2220806 of Blk A-212 more commonly known as the vacant property on 8th Avenue East between 808 N Fillmore St and 821 8th Avenue E, Jerome, finding that the subdivision is in conformance with the Comp Plan, public services can accommodate four residential lots, no health or environmental problems have been posed by the application, and the following conditions shall be: Comply with all City of Jerome department requirements pertaining to the needed sewer, water, roads, hydrants, irrigation, construction, and any other needed improvements; A final plat or any part thereof shall be submitted for review and approval by the City Council prior to recording with the County; and Comply with all City, State, and Federal requirements.

Chairman Mink called the Public Hearing to order at 7:24 p.m. Public Hearing for a request from Daragh Maccabee, Idaho Milk Products, Inc. for a Variance reducing the required industrial use parking spaces, on the property described in Appendix A, more commonly known as the vacant lot north of Western Dairy Transport, Jerome, Idaho. Staff Report: Ms. Clark went over where the property is located on South Garfield with the commission. She described the location of the property in question is for their new ice cream facility. She stated the applicant and team met with City staff during a pre-application meeting to discuss the project and code requirements. The applicant is requesting to reduce the required number of parking spaces for industrial use based on the size and type of process. Ms. Clark stated the property in question is currently zoned Heavy Industrial Per JMC, 17.26.020: Application of Provisions, A. No building or structure shall be erected, substantially altered, or its use changed unless permanently maintained off-street parking and loading spaces have been provided in accordance with the provisions of this title. The applicant is required to have 181 off-street parking spaces. Ms. Clark stated the Jerome Municipal Code defines a Variance as: A modification of the requirements of this title as to lot size, lot coverage, width, depth, front yard, side yard, rear yard, setbacks, parking space, height of buildings or other provisions of this title affecting the size or shape of a structure or the placement of the structure upon lots, or the size of lots. A variance shall not be considered a right or special privilege but may be granted to an applicant only upon a showing of undue hardship because of the characteristics of the site and that the variance is not in conflict with the public interest. The applicant requests a variance to reduce the off-street parking spaces. Ms. Clark went over the Variance Criteria with the commission. ---PAGE BREAK--- 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. Ms. Clark stated the processes involved with the use are innovative and technical. The new building combines circulation, common spaces, and storage area. The application notes that applying the existing code essentially double-counts the number of employees and increases the required number of parking spaces. Year one peak shift change will have 66 employees and year 2029 will have a peak of 132 employees. The applicant is proposing 75 new spaces for the new facility to start. This meets the peak shift change and includes spaces for contractors and visitors. 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. Ms. Clark stated a literal interpretation to comply with the code requirement of 181 spaces for this industrial use would leave 49 parking spaces unoccupied, at max peak shift change. As the application notes, this is a significant unoccupied, open space that is required to be calculated into stormwater runoff and additional required maintenance of an area that will not be used. Regarding Criteria C- That special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. Ms. Clark stated the application notes there are no special conditions or circumstances resulting from the actions of the applicant. Technology and manufacturing have improved over the years and the needed area for storage and circulation is greater than the number of employees. Regarding Criteria D- That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this title to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. Ms. Clark stated the application notes granting the variance will not confer any special privilege on the applicant. Ms. Clark stated City staff has met with the applicant. Discussion was held about the parking on South Tiger Drive from the existing plant employees and contractors. Additional parking is being constructed to allow additional parking on IMP property as shown in the application drawing. She noted the variance is for the building of the new facility. If approved, Ms. Clark recommended the following conditions: Parking shall be provided for peak shift change as the project develops along with appropriate spaces for contractors and visitors; and Comply with all City, State, and Federal requirements. Ms. Clark stated because of the warehousing and the amount of space they need, it’s a significant area. Our code does not take this into consideration. Applicant requests that the required number of spaces be reduced to a more accurate number of employees and ---PAGE BREAK--- contractors. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson regarding handicapped parking, Ms. Clark stated the number of handicapped parking is a requirement. She stated there would be a sidewalk access and a crosswalk for employees to walk back and forth. Chairman Mink inquired about the shift changes. Ms. Clark stated she would like the applicant to address the shift change procedure with the commission. Applicant Testimony: Tavin Yeiter, resident of Fort Wayne, Indiana, after being sworn in stated the property directly to the south of the IMP building is earmarked for future development of the current facility. Mr. Yeiter stated the smaller ice cream plant needs less space. Regarding the shifts, Mr. Yeiter spoke of the 12-hour shifts and 24 factory workers coming in and 24 leaving at that time, so 48 spaces are needed. They are also considering 10 spaces for contractor parking spaces (intermittent work) and eight extra spaces. The front office comes in at 8 am. Mr. Yeiter stated this will alleviate the need for the extra parking spaces because those spaces are occupied in shifts. In 2029, when the plant is at full production, shifts will increase to 132 people switching at 6 pm. At that time, 94 additional parking spaces will be added to alleviate the additional workforce load. Crosswalks will also be added and the sidewalk will be ADA compliant. They will have four ADA spaces up front. They will be adding staircases so the firefighters can access all sides of the building, plus he said there’s direct access to the fire pump room. They will have space for snow storage and removal. Mr. Yeiter stated in a separate project, IMP will also add parking at the main plant to alleviate parking on Tiger Drive. Upon inquiry from Chairman Mink regarding parking, Mr. Yeiter stated the parking spaces would be 20 feet deep and 10 feet wide instead of 18 feet deep and nine feet wide. They will be putting in 75 spaces when they only need 66 at this time. Upon inquiry from Commissioner Johnson, Mr. Yeiter stated four ADA spaces does meet the minimum requirement and some of them are van accessible. There being no other testimony in favor, neutral, or in opposition, Chairman Mink closed the Public Hearing at 7:41 p.m. Consider a request from Daragh Maccabee, Idaho Milk Products, Inc. for a Variance reducing the required industrial use parking spaces, on the property described in Appendix A, more commonly known as the vacant lot north of Western Dairy Transport, Jerome, Idaho - action item Commissioner Schroeder inquired from legal counsel about IMP donations to affiliated organizations he’s with and if he should abstain from the vote. Mr. Hess affirmed his abstaining from the vote. (Commissioner Schroeder moved the microphone away) Chairman Mink thanked the applicant for their proactive thoughts regarding the parking and explaining why to the commission. Commissioner Reed stated the plans look well thought out. ---PAGE BREAK--- Commissioner Reed made a motion to approve the application from Daragh Maccabee, Idaho Milk Products, reducing the required number of industrial parking spaces on the property more commonly known as the 800 Blk of Dairy Dr., Jerome, Idaho finding granting the variance that special conditions apply to the building involved and that it 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: Parking shall be provided for peak shift change as the project develops along with appropriate spaces for contractors and visitors; and Comply with all City, State, and Federal requirements Second to the motion by Commissioner Fraser and carried. After consideration, the motion passed by the following votes: AYE: Commissioner Ben Reed, Commissioner Shonna Fraser, and Commissioner Paul Johnson. NAYE: None. Commissioner Jeff Schroeder abstained. Discussion- Title 17 Amendments- Chickens Ms. Clark stated in her efforts to clean up Title 17 and make it more efficient, chickens, poultry, and fowl will need a new section. Other farm animals will need a special use permit even though chickens, poultry, and fowl will be exempt. She also added a section about permits being revoked should the need arise. Discussion was held on Helm’s animals on the 16th and other animals that were grandfathered in. Ms. Clark stated she would bring this back to the December meeting. Chairman Mink inquired about a provision to reapply if they believe a permit should not have been revoked. Commissioner Reed suggested adding a provision to add that after several revocations they would no longer be eligible. Discussion was held on what would constitute a revocation of a permit, the time limit of revocation, a lifetime ban, and how to control lifetime bans. Ms. Clark stated she would expand on ‘unresolved complaints’ in the code. Commissioner Fraser inquired if there would be a physical inspection before approval. Ms. Clark stated she does go out if there is a complaint. She also stated our Code Enforcement and Animal Control Officer go out to check properties if needed. Ms. Clark showed the commission the application and checklist for the new process. Case Law Review Ms. Clark stated she went to the American Planning Association, Idaho Chapter conference and there was great discussion regarding growth. She has been starting to get more applications and people are attending hearings. Going back to the land use law, it states, that a commission will look at facts and then approve or deny based on facts given. Then findings and conclusions are given which are also called a “reasoned statement.” Ms. Clark spoke of a few court cases and reaffirmed the importance of discussions and reasons behind why a reasoned statement is given. She stated she would be giving more information in the motions. She showed an Idaho Supreme Court (ISC) case and the appeal of a decision because there was no reason given for why an application was denied. Discussion and reasons are important. Commissioner Reed inquired if particular reasons were required, or can they just say no as ---PAGE BREAK--- legislative powers to vote no simply because they disagree with something. Ms. Clark stated there are five facts that are considered in plats, for example. If they vote no, they must state why. Commissioner Reed stated that said reasons given will prevent future issues. His understanding is that this came from a particular court case, and so that decisions are not appealed and extra expenses incurred, it’s better to give reasons for the opinion. In the example that was given, the City did not follow Idaho Code. Idaho 67-6535 requires those reasoned statements when making a decision. Ms. Clark stated another court case from Twin Falls County, there was a prelim plat was denied and they stated the reasons why the application was denied. The ISC identified the reasoned statement to support a decision. In her staff reports, she will make sure to let the commission know if the applicant is not meeting the code. Chairman Mink spoke of the example of the subdivision behind Farnsworth, and the reasons given for denying the original application. The applicant re-applied with a better plan because the needs were discussed at length. This is a good example of a discussion held and a reasoned statement provided. Ms. Clark stated legal council does a good job on the Findings and Conclusions because of the discussions the Commission holds. She wanted to remind the Commission of the importance of discussions and criteria met. She will ask for input if needed. Mr. Hess stated the commission does a good job of expounding reasonings. Ms. Clark stated with a recent annexation, they had a great discussion during the application process. Chairman Mink inquired about people expressing their 1st Amendment rights to use foul language. Discussion was held on how to proceed with someone who uses foul language. Ms. Clark stated in Planning and Zoning meetings, that any harassment or threats can be cause for removal. Commissioner Reed stated citizens have a right to speak during citizen comments at meetings. Chairman Mink spoke of previous meetings, and Ms. Clark we need to remind citizens that those testifying should be told they must be civil and they must speak to the facts only. Commissioner Johnson suggested having Chairman Mink read the rules of a hearing before they begin. CITIZEN CORRESPONDENCE AND ISSUES None.

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