PUBLIC HEARING
1. An application for a Conditional Use Permit for a Home Daycare. Location is 4619
Pahsimeroi Drive, Chubbuck, ID 83202, Lot 16, Block 2 of The Grove Subdivision 2nd
Addition. Current zoning designation is Single Family Residential (R-1).
Type of Action: Public Hearing and Land Use decision
Peggy and Dan Christensen 290 Jacob Street, Chubbuck, ID 83202 were in attendance
representing the application.
Mrs. Christensen currently has a daycare with 6 children from 4 families. Traffic is very minimal.
She has run a day care in Chubbuck since 2006. There were 16 home addresses on the petition
that required signatures from the residents. 15 signed the petition and 1 resident declined to
sign because of the traffic from Connor Academy and the lack of a homeowners association.
They are asking to move the business from the current location to the new home they are
building. Mrs. Christensen had her current inspections with her by Police, Fire and the Health
Department. Drop offs typically don't arrive at her home at the same time. The one signature
that she could not get was on Sawtooth Street.
Andrus. City staff, shared the process of home occupations. Home daycares are considered
Major Home Occupations. The petition has the addresses of the homes within the 300' radius

of the location of the occupation. If the applicant can get all of the signatures they do not need
to apply for a Conditional Use Permit. Because the petition was lacking 1 signature that is why
they needed to apply for the permit. City Code allows for 12 children in a home daycare.
Children under 18 months count for 2, they also need to include their own children in the total
count of occupants.
Mendenhall opened the Public Hearing.
Marla Hanson 5830 Eve Street, Chubbuck ID 83202. Marla is Mrs. Christensen's sister and lives
in the same neighborhood as her day care. There has never been an issue with traffic and no
complaints from neighbors. They keep their home well maintained.
John Nicely 1401 Sawtooth Street, Chubbuck ID 83202. Main opposition is the access, the traffic
from Connor Academy and Philbin Road. Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions need to be
enforced. Holmes explained that the City does not enforce Covenants.
Colleen Nicely 1401 Sawtooth Chubbuck, ID 83202. Mrs. Nicely wondered why they were not
approached for signatures. Mendenhall explained their residence is outside of the 300' radius.
Mendenhall closed the public hearing bringing the meeting back to the commission and asking
applicant if they had any other comments.
Mrs. Christensen stated she understands the traffic concerns. The new home has 6 bedrooms
so another family would generate the same amount of traffic as her day care. Developer told
them there is another day care on Pahsimeroi Drive so theirs should not be a problem.
Smith noted that the amount of traffic is within city code requirements.
Mendenhall entertained a motion. Reminding the commission that this board makes the final
decision. Smith moved to approve the application for a Conditional Use Permit for a home day
care located at 4619 Pahsimeroi Drive in Chubbuck. Lot 16, Block 2 of The Grove Subdivision 2nd
Addition. Berls seconded.
With all commission members understanding the motion they voted.

Yes; and Jason Mendenhall, Yes.
Andrus reminded the board to return the City Code books to him.
Mendenhall entertained a motion to adjourn; Jackson made the motion. Holm seconded. All
