ADA COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 200 W. FRONT STREET, BOISE, IDAHO 83702-7300 PHONE (208) 287-7900 FAX (208) 287-7909 February 20, 2025 Honorable Mayor and Council Members: Ada County Development Services requests an amendment to the City of Star’s Comprehensive Plan to adopt the 2024 Capital Improvement Plans and Development Impact Fee Studies (CIPs) for the Ada County Jail, Coroner, and Paramedics. Ada County requests these studies be added as a new Appendix B to the City of Star Comprehensive Plan with a reference in Chapter 11 identifying these studies. Pursuant to Idaho Code, these CIPs will guide the aforementioned Ada County entities and district over the next ten years as they fund facilities, apparatus, and equipment to continue the current levels of service as growth occurs. Following adoption of these studies, Ada County will request the City of Star establish an ordinance and interlocal agreement for the collection and disbursement of these impact fees. The CIPs indicate that over the next 10 years, there will be an estimated 23 percent increase in population (125,397 new residents), a 23 percent increase in housing development (50,296 new housing units), an 18 percent increase in employment (43,283 new jobs), and a 13 percent increase in new commercial square footage (16,970,000 square feet) within Ada County, requiring impact fees in the amounts shown in Figure 1 to maintain current levels of service for these county- wide service providers. Thank you for your consideration.
