TO: City of Chubbuck Land Use and Development Commission
FROM: Don Matson, Planning Services Manager
DATE: October 7, 2025
RE: A petition by City of Chubbuck City staff to update several sections of City Code: Title 15,
regarding monument signs; Title 16, updating references to adopted sight triangles; Title 18,
regarding new definitions in the title and clarifying or deleting current definitions; clarifying
enumeration of land use districts and land uses by district; updating references to sight
triangles; updating regulations for zero lot line dwellings; updating existing supplemental
controls for particular uses and adding requirements for short term rentals; clarifying
requirements and terms for major and minor home occupations; adding a term of approval for
a Design Review Clearance; clarifying approval process for a planned unit development; and
modifying land use enforcement and repealing certain sections. The application will be
reviewed against criteria in section 18.28.050.B.8 of city code. Type of action: Recommendation.
(Action Item)
BACKGROUND
This petition requests updates in several sections of Title 18: Land Use, and one minor update each to Title
15: Buildings and Construction and Title 16: Land Improvement Standards.
Most of the changes are either to correct language in Titles 16 and 18 regarding corner sight triangles, or
update or add definitions in Chapter 18.06 to correlate better with other parts of the Title. There are also
several obsolete sections for deletion and the addition of standards for Short Term Rentals.
The most significant addition requested in this ordinance are standards for short term rentals (STR). Per
Idaho Statutes STR must be considered residential land uses and allowed anywhere residential uses are
allowed. Cities cannot regulate the STR marketplace, but may issue business licenses to help enforce
nuisance laws, etc.

In the chart below each of the issues addressed in this proposal are described, proposals are listed, and the
affected sections of City Code are identified. This a simplified list of the 32 specific changes proposed in the
ordinance; instead of listing each change separately they are grouped by issue.
Proposals:Issues and

Monument Signs: The current height limit is 4', however industry
15.24.020 Additional [Sign] Location, Size,
standards are 4' tall signs, but they must be on a base to be above
and Other Standards
landscaping and landscaping equipment.
• Proposal: Add a footnote to the sign detail table to clarify that a
monument sign may incorporate a sign base no more than 1',
with a maximum sign height of 5'.
Sight Triangles: Access Management Guidelines were adopted by the
16.12.040 Landscaping
City in 2016, which includes updated sight triangles for corners and
18.06.305 Sight Triangle (new)
certain driveways. Existing code describes sight triangles that are
18.12.020 Supplemental Yard, Height and
simple and ineffective and are out of step with the 2016 Guidelines.
Use Controls
• Proposal: Delete older dimensions in various sections of code
18.12.030.M Vehicle Sales, Service and
and replace them with a reference to the adopted Access
Supply
Management Guidelines.
18.14.020.F Sight Distance for Landscaping
• Proposal: Add a definition of a sight triangle in Chapter 18.06.
Adjacent to Public Rights of Way and
Points of Access
18.20.100.8 Streetscapes and Sign
Standards in PUDs
Definitions; Contradictory or Obsolete: Animal care sites are defined
18.06.040 Animal Care Site
too broadly and should be addressed through a definition for
18.06.300 Shop
Veterinary Services, etc. Shop is confused with store and needs a
better definition.
• Proposal: Delete 2 definitions and replace with more appropriate
language — see below.
Definitions; Updates Needed to Certain Definitions: Some are
18.06.080 Childcare Center
needed per changes in State law, others are for better
18.06.145 Hotel or Motel
management and implementation of City Code.
18.06.150 Household
• Proposal: Update or revise 6 definitions in Title 18.
18.06.160 Kennel
• Proposal: Rename Vehicle Sales Site to Vehicle Sales, Service and
18.06.240.E Production Building Cluster
Supply. Also update the name of a Vehicle Sales Site in section
Arrangement
18.12.030.M.
18.06.390 Vehicles Sales, Service and
Supply
18.12.030.M Vehicles Sales, Service and
Supply
Definitions; Clarity is Needed: Some land uses are similar to others, or
18.06.095 Convenience Store
a definition is needed for some undefined items that are already in
18.06.195 Machine Shop
the Land Use table, Section 18.08.040.
18.06.225 Pet Shop and Supplies
• Proposal: Add 7 definitions to Title 18. Some of these definitions
18.06.285 Service Station
are borrowed from other cities' ordinances.

Proposals:Issues and

Identification and Purpose of Zones: The Enumeration of Districts
18.08.010.E Highway Corridor (HC)
section in Title 18 lists all land use districts/zones in one place so
18.08.010.M Village (V)
that the reader can differentiate details between zones. However,
the Highway Corridor and Village zones were not put in the section
at the time of their creation.
• Proposal: Add the purpose statements of both to the section.
Land Uses by District/Zone. Vehicle Sales is defined in code, but listed
18.08.040 Schedule of General Controls;
at Automotive Sales in the table. Animal Care Site is being replaced
Land Uses by District
by Veterinary Clinic or Hospital. A Vehicle Repair Site is defined in
code but not included in the table. Home occupation licenses are
not required in commercial zones, so the table has marked them as
not allowed in the C-1, C-2 and I districts — this is confusing since
there are dwellings in those zones.
• Proposal: Change the names of Automotive Sales and Animal
Care Site in the table to Vehicle Sales, Service and Supply and
Veterinary Clinic or Hospital.
• Proposal: Add Vehicle Repair Site to the table, and a permitted
use in the C-2 and I zones.
• Proposal: Show Home Occupation Minor and Major as
permitted uses in the C-1, C-2 and I zones.
Zero Lot Line Construction. Two sections of code are outdated
18.08.042.0 Schedule of General Controls;
referring to zero lot line dwellings: twin homes and townhomes.
Regulations
One refers to them only in the R -2P zone but they are allowed in
18.08.050 Zero Lot Line Residence Waiver
other zones. This section and one other discuss a waiver to be
approved by the City Council to allow such construction. However,
these are now addressed through the platting process, which is
approved by City Council, and some also require a Conditional Use
Permit approved by the Land Use and Development Commission.
• Proposal: Shorten the first section above to delete references to
the Council waiver, 18.08.042.C.
• Proposal: Delete the second section above pertaining only to the
waiver, 18.08.050.
Sight Triangles at Railroad Crossings. There are updates proposed to
18.12.020.A Supplemental Yard, Height
reference to sight triangles in several sections, including
and Use Controls
18.12.020.A. However new standards have not been studied or
established for sight triangles at railroad crossings.
• Proposal: Separate railroad crossings from intersections
standards in code.
Animal Care Sites and Veterinary Services. Animal care sites are
18.12.030.N Supplemental Controls for
defined too broadly, so the definition was replaced with veterinary
Particular Uses
clinics and hospitals.
B. Veterinary Clinic or Hospital
• Proposal: Narrow the standards in this section to apply only to
veterinary service locations.

Proposals:Issues and
..
Standards for Short Term Rentals. Idaho Statutes define short term
18.12.030.N Supplemental Controls for
rentals as residential land uses and must be allowed wherever
Particular Uses
residential uses are allowed. Some such businesses have created
N. Short Term Rentals (new)
nuisances at times. Cities and counties may establish standards to
protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community, which
includes neighbors to short term rentals. Boise and McCall have
well-established codes that meet Idaho Statutes.
• Proposal: Add a standards section pertaining to short term
rentals in the zoning code, using examples from Boise and
McCall ordinances. See discussion below table.
Minor Home Occupations. Within the last few years issues have
18.12.032.A Minor Home Occupations
cropped up regarding tutoring, training, and instruction as minor
home occupations. Minor home occupation standards in code
Section 18.12.032.A appear to have been violated in a number of
circumstances, including operations without a business license.
They include:
- "there shall be no ... indications of a home occupation on the
premises"
- "shall not create greater vehicle or pedestrian traffic than
normal for the district in which it is located"
- "shall have adequate parking spaces available to compensate
for additional parking needs generated"
Individual tutoring is a permitted home occupation, but not for
more than one student from the same household; they would
most likely arrive in the same vehicle and thus have no more
impact that a single student.
• Proposal: Clarify that individual tutoring means 1 student, or 2
from the same household.
• Proposal: Clarify in the list of uses that shall not be permitted
includes
o On -street parking that may change the character of the
neighborhood
o Group instruction, tutoring or organized classes
o Team instruction or tutoring such as for sports, cheerleading,
academics, etc.
Major Home Occupations. Recently Idaho Statutes were revised
18.12.032.13 Major Home Occupations
concerning daycare licensing and standards, including definitions
of different types. As with minor home occupations, clarification is
needed that on -street parking can change the character of the
neighborhood and that organized classes are limited to 6 students
at one time.
• Proposal: Change Daycare to Family Daycare Home, in
accordance with Idaho Statutes.
• Proposal: Clarify that organized classes include training and that
no more than 6 students may be on site at any given time.

Proposals:Issues and
..
Design Review. Most building, development and some land use
18.60.040 Clearance Approval (new)
approvals have a sunset or term of approval, expiring in 6 months
or a year. This is to ensure that projects meet any standards or
conditions that may have changed after its approval. A design
review clearance has no such time limit.
• Proposal: Add a term of approval for design review clearances.
Land Uses in the HC and V Zones. With updates to the land uses by
18.19.070 Land and Building Uses
district table in 18.08.040, similar updates are needed for the land
uses and building table (Table 19.2) regarding the Chubbuck
Village area, Chapter 18.19.
• Proposal: Change name of Automotive Sales to Vehicle Sales,
Service and Supply, and Animal Care Site to Veterinary Clinic or
Hospital.
• Proposal: Add Vehicle Repair Site to the table and note as not
permitted in either the HC or V zones.
Land Use Public Hearings. The administration chapter of Title 18 was
18.20.40.E Procedure of Approval of a PUD;
altered in 2021 and 2022 and reduces public hearings for the City
Approval or Denial
Council which had become redundant. A reference to a second
public hearing before the Council regarding the approval of a PUD
was not updated.
• Proposal: Remove the phrase requiring the Council to hold an
additional public hearing when considering a PUD.
Enforcement of Title 18 Land Use. Chapter 32, enforcement, includes
18.32.020 Permits and Municipal Services
sections for permits and services, criminal penalties and conditional
18.32.040 Criminal Penalties
occupancy permits. The permits and municipal services section
18.32.050 Conditional Occupancy Permit
mirrors the language for building permits but should not have a
reference to the removal of structures under zoning. Criminal
penalties are generally not used in Land Use/ Zoning enforcement
- civil remedies are more appropriate. Conditional occupancy
permits do not exist in building codes. This section of Title 18
relates more to fire protection and law enforcement and should be
deleted.
• Proposal: Delete reference to removing structures or
improvements.
• Proposal: Delete the criminal penalty and conditional occupancy
permit sections from Title 18.
STANDARDS FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS
Per the statutes that limit local regulations on STR, local governments "may implement such
reasonable regulations as it deems necessary to safeguard the public health, safety and general
welfare in order to protect the integrity of residential neighborhoods in which short-term rentals
or vacation rentals operate" (Title 67-6539). See Exhibit C.
This is the most substantive part of the proposed City Code amendment.

The standards proposed for STR in Chapter 18.12.030.N are largely borrowed from the cities of
Boise' and McCal12; both have more experience in STR standards to safeguard neighborhoods
and the public health, safety, and general welfare. The Short-term Rental Regulation Toolkit3
from AirBnB was also consulted in forming this proposal.
1. License: STRs will be required to have a business license, and a separate license for each
dwelling unit to be used' 2.
2. Local Representative: STR licensees will maintain a local representative to respond to all
license and property issues in a timely manner. Also, STR owners residing out of state must
maintain a local representative to accept legal notices on their behalf' -2,3
3. Safety: STRs will provide and maintain functioning fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide
detectors, and a smoke detector in every room advertised as a sleeping area'.
4. Property Maintenance: No trash to be within public view, except in proper containers for
collection on scheduled trash and recycling collection days; landscaping must be maintained
in a neat and tidy appearance; lawns, planting beds, trees, etc. shall not be removed to
provide for more parking in the front yard or setback; adjacent public sidewalks shall be
maintained per Chubbuck city code, and kept free from snow, ice and debris, etc.
5. Maximum Occupancy: Occupancy must comply with all applicable codes and statutes
and shall not exceed the occupancy as listed in any short term rental marketplace2,3.
6. Parking: Parking shall be provided on the property and shall not be in or on the front
yard that is not part of the driveway. Guests shall not park vehicles, RVs or trailers, etc. on
the street2.
7. Privacy and Impacts to Neighbors: Fencing, screening, and landscaping shall be provided
and maintained between the short term rental and neighboring residential land uses2,3.
8. Accessory Dwelling.: Accessory dwelling units that meet all the standards of Chapter
18.10 of this title may be used as a STR2,3
9. Right to Notice: The city may offer a courtesy notice to owners of real property within the
standard notice area required for major home occupations as described in Chapter
18.12.032.0 of city code. As a residential land use a STR license is not subject to a conditional
use permit or other zoning approval in an existing dwelling, but new construction is subject
to zoning approva12,3.

SIGHT TRIANGLES
The sight triangles adopted with the regional Access Management Guidelines create a safer
transportation environment than those currently defined in city code. The triangles described in
code are simple shapes and not adjusted for conditions such a curve in the roadway, sidewalks,
planter strips, etc.

The adopted triangle dimensions in the Access Management Guidelines are based on research
from two sources. Specifically, each triangle is based on the speed and width of the roadway the
driver will enter, measured from the curb vs. the Right -of -Way line, and the position of the driver
15' behind the curb and in the center of the lane where she/he is located.

The extended vision provided by the adopted triangle has enhanced safety in each place it has
been implemented. It is used both for building and fence locations and in landscaping
requirements. (Shrubs and fences must be below 3', trees are to be pruned up to 10' above
ground.) The standards apply both to intersections and to commercial/multi-family driveways.

rentals and vacation rentals due from a lodging operator on any lodging
transaction facilitated by the short-term rental marketplace.
(3) A short-term rental marketplace shall collect, report, and pay
taxes imposed on the lodging operator or occupant of a short-term rental or
vacation rental by any local government.
(4) Any local government that has levied a tax pursuant to statutory au-
thorization, may contract with the state tax commission for the collection
and administration of such taxes in like manner and under definitions and
rules of the state tax commission for the collection and administration of
the state sales or use tax under chapter 36, title 63, Idaho Code. Alterna-
tively, such local government shall have authority to administer and collect
such tax. All revenues collected on behalf of the local governments by the
state tax commission pursuant to this chapter shall be distributed as fol-
lows: An amount of money shall be distributed to the state refund fund suffi-
cient to pay current refund claims. All refunds authorized by the commission
to be paid shall be paid through the state refund fund and those moneys are
continuously appropriated. The state tax commission may retain an amount
of money equal to such fee as may be agreed upon between the state tax com-
mission and such local government for the actual cost of the collection and
administration of the tax. The amount retained by the commission shall not
exceed the amount authorized to be expended by appropriation by the legis-
lature. Any unencumbered balance in excess of the actual cost at the end of
each fiscal year shall be distributed as provided in this section. All re-
maining moneys received pursuant to this chapter shall be placed in a fund
designated by the state controller and remitted monthly to the local govern-
ment levying such tax.
(5) A short-term rental marketplace that has not facilitated a lodging
transaction in Idaho shall have forty-five (45) days to comply with this sec-
tion upon completion of their first lodging transaction in Idaho.

67-6511. ZONING ORDINANCE. (1) Each governing board shall, by
ordinance adopted, amended, or repealed in accordance with the notice and
hearing procedures provided under section 67-6509, Idaho Code, establish
within its jurisdiction one (1) or more zones or zoning districts where
appropriate. The zoning districts shall be in accordance with the policies
set forth in the adopted comprehensive plan.
(a) Within a zoning district, the governing board shall where
appropriate establish standards to regulate and restrict the height,
number of stories, size, construction, reconstruction, alteration,
repair or use of buildings and structures; percentage of lot
occupancy, size of courts, yards, and open spaces; density of
population; and the location and use of buildings and structures. All
standards shall be uniform for each class or kind of buildings
throughout each district, but the standards in one (1) district may
differ from those in another district.
(b) Within an overlay zoning district, the governing board shall
establish clear and objective standards for the overlay zoning
district while ensuring that application of such standards does not
constitute a regulatory taking pursuant to Idaho or federal law.
(2) Ordinances establishing zoning districts shall be amended as
follows:
(a) Requests for an amendment to the zoning ordinance shall be
submitted to the zoning or planning and zoning commission, which shall
evaluate the request to determine the extent and nature of the
amendment requested. Particular consideration shall be given to the
effects of any proposed zone change upon the delivery of services by
any political subdivision providing public services, including school
districts, within the planning jurisdiction. An amendment of a zoning
ordinance applicable to an owner's lands or approval of conditional
rezoning or denial of a request for rezoning may be subject to the
regulatory taking analysis provided for by section 67-8003, Idaho
Code, consistent with the requirements established thereby.
(b) After considering the comprehensive plan and other evidence
gathered through the public hearing process, the zoning or planning
and zoning commission may recommend and the governing board may adopt
or reject an ordinance amendment pursuant to the notice and hearing
procedures provided in section 67-6509, Idaho Code, provided that in
the case of a zoning district boundary change, and notwithstanding
jurisdictional boundaries, additional notice shall be provided by mail
to property owners or purchasers of record within the land being
considered, and within three hundred (300) feet of the external
boundaries of the land being considered, and any additional area that

may be impacted by the proposed change as determined by the
commission. Notice shall also be given to a pipeline company operating
any existing interstate natural gas transmission pipeline or
interstate petroleum products pipeline, as recognized by the pipeline
and hazardous materials safety administration, with a center point
within one thousand (1,000) feet of the external boundaries of the
land being considered, provided that the pipeline company is in
compliance with section 62-1104, Idaho Code. Notice shall also be
posted on the premises no less than one (1) week prior to the hearing.
When notice is required to two hundred (200) or more property owners
or purchasers of record, alternate forms of procedures that would
provide adequate notice may be provided by local ordinance in lieu of
posted or mailed notice. In the absence of a locally adopted
alternative notice procedure, sufficient notice shall be deemed to
have been provided if the city or county provides notice through a
display advertisement at least four (4) inches by two (2) columns in
size in the official newspaper of the city or county at least fifteen
(15) days prior to the hearing date, in addition to site posting on
all external boundaries of the site. Any property owner entitled to
specific notice pursuant to the provisions of this subsection shall
have a right to participate in public hearings before a planning
commission, planning and zoning commission or governing board subject
to applicable procedures.
(c) The governing board shall analyze proposed changes to zoning
ordinances to ensure that they are not in conflict with the policies
of the adopted comprehensive plan. If the request is found by the
governing board to be in conflict with the adopted plan, or would
result in demonstrable adverse impacts upon the delivery of services
by any political subdivision providing public services, including
school districts, within the planning jurisdiction, the governing
board may require the request to be submitted to the planning or
planning and zoning commission or, in absence of a commission, the
governing board may consider an amendment to the comprehensive plan
pursuant to the notice and hearing procedures provided in section 67-
6509, Idaho Code. After the plan has been amended, the zoning
ordinance may then be considered for amendment pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this subsection.
(d) If a governing board adopts a zoning classification pursuant to a
request by a property owner based upon a valid, existing comprehensive
plan and zoning ordinance, the governing board shall not subsequently
reverse its action or otherwise change the zoning classification of
said property without the consent in writing of the current property
owner for a period of four (4) years from the date the governing board
adopted said individual property owner's request for a zoning
classification change. If the governing body does reverse its action
or otherwise change the zoning classification of said property during
the above four (4) year period without the current property owner's
consent in writing, the current property owner shall have standing in
a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of this
section.
