PUBLIC HEARING: Application by Bobcat Properties, 1360 Albion Avenue, Burley ID 83318 for a change of Land Use District from General Commercial (C-2) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Bobcat PUD (subdivision) 207 Briscoe Road, Chubbuck, ID 83202 Paul Andrus, the City Planner explained that he had noticed the application for a Planned Unit Development and thought that would cover the notice of zoning. However, it has been decided that the city should back up and have a hearing on the zone change. Everyone within 300 feet has received mailings. Mayor England declared the public hearing open at 6:17pm. Mark Mitchell, 141 Briscoe Road, spoke in opposition to the zone change. Mr. Mitchell stated that he was raised on Briscoe road, bought his current place on Briscoe Rd. and would like to see the neighborhood stay family friendly. Mr. Mitchell stated that several years ago there were duplexes build on Briscoe and at that time the number of police responses in the neighborhood increased. Mr. Mitchell requested the police report for calls responded to on Briscoe Rd and he believes it shows an increase in responses once multiple family dwellings were allowed. He believes the additional multi -family dwellings will increase police response needed on Briscoe Road even more. Mr. Mitchell would like to know what the City's penalty is for not doing this properly. Niki Taysom, 4963 Yellowstone (Castillo's), stated that someone wants to come in and make some money at the expense of another who has been in Chubbuck their entire life. This council needs to stop house cleaning and abide by the law. Niki stated that she was evicted from Burley Drive for similar reasons. Mayor England declared the public hearing closed at 6:29pm. Councilmember Ellis asked Mr. Mitchell if he was at the public hearing when the PUD was approved. This gentleman was not at the PUD public hearing.
