I. INTRODUCTION
Chubbuck's Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 2002 as a part of updates that were
prepared for Portneuf River Valley communities who participate in the Our Valley — Our Vision
regional plan. Chubbuck's Future Land Use Maps (FLUMs) and Urban Service Area maps were
updated and adopted by Chubbuck in 2010. With the age of the existing Comprehensive Plan
and increases in population growth in Chubbuck, a Comprehensive Plan update was needed to
support Chubbuck through this decade and on to 2045.
A. PROCESS
A Comprehensive Plan is a living document which guides a city as it grows and adapts to new
times. A Comprehensive Plan supports the work of a city's planning and zoning personnel, Land
Use and Development Commission (LUDC) and the City Council by providing goals, objectives,
strategies, and policies. The Plan sets the tone for the type of community the city wants to
become. Idaho State Code Section 67-6508 requires that all cities and counties prepare and
maintain a current comprehensive plan considering the existing and future trends associated
with 17 different planning components (refer to Section LF).
The City of Chubbuck began a four-phase planning process, initiating a consultant contract in
July 2023 to update the City's Comprehensive Plan by spring 2025.

Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan 2
B. RELATED PLANS
Planning and governance of the City of Chubbuck has always been closely tied to Bannock
County and the City of Pocatello. The City of Chubbuck has been an active participant in
planning for the Portneuf River Valley, accommodating spikes in growth and addressing dips in
economic prosperity. This plan frequently references planning efforts of Bannock County, City of
Pocatello, and the Bannock Transportation Planning Organization, due to Chubbuck's social,
economic, and geographical setting. There are several related plans and programs that are
considered in the local comprehensive planning process, including those presented in Table 1.
Bannock County has undertaken a comprehensive plan update during the period in which this
plan was prepared. In addition, the Idaho legislature amended the process for Area of Impact
(AOI) designation during their 2024 session. Further coordination with Bannock County is
anticipated to align planning efforts.
C. PUBLIC HEARINGS
On April 22, 2025, the draft Comprehensive Plan was presented to the LUDC at a public hearing.
The LUDC unanimously recommended approval by the City Council, with minor modifications to
the FLUM. On May 21, the draft Comprehensive Plan was presented to the City Council with the
recommendation from the LUDC. The Council unanimously directed staff to prepare a resolution
to adopt Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan as recommended by the LUDC.
The Chubbuck Comprehensive Plan was adopted by the City Council on June 4 by Resolution
(2025-04).

Our Valley - Our Vision, Chubbuck Comprehensive Plan, 2002
Since 1995, a regional planning effort known as Our Valley, Our Vision
(Bannock County, Cities of Pocatello and Chubbuck, Idaho Department
of Transportation and School District #25), characterizes the cooperative
efforts present in the Portneuf Valley, which includes updated FLUM and
Service Area Maps, 2010.

Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan
D. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
Appendix A provides results of the various public involvement activities associated with the
planning process. Working closely with the planning consultants, the City formed a Steering
Committee to ensure that various interests throughout the City would guide the planning
process. The Steering Committee met at key points throughout the process and received
communication between meetings.
The City of Chubbuck's priority was to
involve the public from the beginning
of the planning process to ensure that
residents had an opportunity to voice
their concerns and vision for the future
of Chubbuck. The following outreach
methods served to both educate the
public on the elements of
comprehensive planning and provide
opportunities for communication with
the public. Specific methods used to
achieve meaningful engagement
included:
Two surveys were opened to the public: one in April Comprehensive Plan Promotion
2024 to establish community issues and concerns and
the second in January 2025 to review a FLUM and potential plan objectives and strategies. Each
survey sought to gather information from individuals throughout the community. The survey
results are presented in Appendix A.
On June 23, 2024, an open house was held at Chubbuck City Hall. The open house was an
interactive way to collect feedback from residents on Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives and
strategies and to create an ongoing dialogue with residents, stakeholders, and interested
parties. While only 13 people attended the in-person event, the City also posted all activities in a
series of post -Open House online requests. Three mini surveys were presented after the open
house and were successful in receiving 488 responses.
A public workshop with the LUDC and the Steering Committee was held on April 22, 2025, to
review a preliminary draft version of the Comprehensive Plan. Comments received from
participants were integrated into the Draft Plan.
The City Council held a public hearing to adopt the Comprehensive Plan on May 21, 2025.
Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan
E. PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS
This plan was prepared with the intent of protecting and otherwise avoiding negative impacts to
private property rights. The plan itself is not regulatory in nature and should not "adversely
impact values or create unnecessary technical limitations on the use of property." (Idaho Code
Section 67-6508(a)). This document does include recommendations regarding land use policies
and programs, therefore should regulations, restrictions or conditions result in conflict with
property owners during the implementation of this plan, the Office of the Attorney General's
checklist for private property rights should be consulted (refer to Appendix B).
The LUDC should undertake a periodic review of this Comprehensive Plan and all applicable land
use regulations to protect private property rights and continue to maintain the community's
health, safety, and welfare.
F. PLAN ORGANIZATION
This Plan is organized in 8 chapters that address plan components required by Idaho State
Statute (refer to TABLE 2). Within chapters 3 through 7, existing conditions are summarized
(Chubbuck Now). An Existing Conditions report is provided as Appendix C. Future trends are
briefly discussed (Chubbuck 2045), and a goal, objectives and strategies are presented. Policies,
to be considered during development application and other project reviews, are listed at the
end of these chapters.
Introduction (Chapter 1) explains the general process that was undertaken to update the Plan
and this section details how the plan meets Idaho Code requirements for Comprehensive Plans.
Understanding Chubbuck (Chapter 2) discusses the history of Chubbuck, the geographical
setting, and current demographic data as well as population projections. The Vision Statement
(developed by the Steering Committee) is also identified in this chapter.
Healthy Connections (Chapter 3) discusses recreation facilities in the community,
transportation issues including roadways and pedestrian and bicycle connections, and health-
related connections such as access to healthcare and access to food.
Livable Spaces (Chapter 4) includes the FLUM identifying land uses that are compatible with
Chubbuck's vision for future growth. Community design and housing are also addressed.
Economic and Educational Opportunity (Chapter 5) discusses school facilities and economic
development plans and initiatives in Chubbuck.
Environmental Quality (Chapter 6) addresses natural resources, special areas and sites,

II. UNDERSTANDING CHUBBUCK
A. SETTING
Chubbuck is an incorporated community of approximately 16,000 people located in Bannock
County in southeast Idaho. The City of Chubbuck is located immediately north of the City of
Pocatello. The Portneuf River flows west of the City, the Fort Hall reservation lies to the north,
and the Pocatello Range rises to the east.
Chubbuck is transected by both 1-15 and 1-86 and is approximately seven -square miles in size.
Idaho's capital city, Boise, is located approximately 230 miles to the west of Chubbuck and
Utah's capital city, Salt Lake City, is located approximately 170 miles to the south.
Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan 9
B. HISTORY
Shoshone and Bannock people have lived in southeastern Idaho for hundreds of years,
benefitting from the abundance of wildlife, including fish from streams and rivers, and
vegetation including camas bulb. As hunters and gatherers, they travelled during the spring and
summer seasons, collecting foods for use during the winter months. (Shoshone Bannock Tribes)
In 1805 the Lewis and Clark expedition crossed Idaho and fur trappers soon followed. In 1834
Nathaniel Wyeth established a permanent settlement, Fort Hall, north of where Chubbuck now
sits. As trading gave way to stocking provisions for Oregon Trail immigrants, Fort Hall adapted
as a supply station. (City of Pocatello)
The Shoshone and Bannock entered into peace treaties in 1863 and 1868 known today as the
Fort Bridger Treaty. The Fort Hall Reservation was allotted for various tribes under the treaty
agreement along with 1.8 million acres, although that was diminished over time. The lands
where Chubbuck and Pocatello were eventually developed, was separated from the Shoshone
Bannock under the Dawes Severalty (or General Allotment) Act of 1887. Between 1888 and 1902,
the Shoshone Bannock were pressured to cede away nearly a third of the reservation to the
growing town of Pocatello. (Larsen, N.)
With the arrival of rail in the late 1800s the landscape in and around Pocatello changed
dramatically. The railroad car siding located where Chubbuck is today was known as "beet run
siding" as sugar beets were a major crop in the area. A senior conductor for the Oregon Short
Line by the name of Walter Elmer Chubbuck was in charge of loading the railroad cars at "beet
run siding." The railroad later began a tradition of naming sidings after senior conductors, so
"beet run siding" was renamed Chubbuck in 1889. (Roberts -Wright, B. M. S.)
The City of Chubbuck originated in the mid -20th Century with the establishment of the Village of
Chubbuck in December 1949, with a population of just 125.
C. CHUBBUCK NOW
Through a combination of good leadership,
strategic planning, and Chubbuck's prime
location adjacent to major transportation
corridors, Chubbuck became a vibrant
community that has captured a large share
of the region's commercial development.
Chubbuck's commercial areas now include
the headquarters for Idaho Central Credit
Union, along with a range of national and
regional retailers and convenience
restaurants.
There are currently 5,671 households in the
City of Chubbuck, the population of
Chubbuck increased by nearly 12%
between 2010 and 2020. The U.S. Census 2020 population of Chubbuck was 15,570 with the
dominant race as white (85%). The educational attainment rate beyond a high school diploma is
Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan 10
approximately 72% of adults aged 18 and above. The median age in Chubbuck is 35, however, at
present there is a large percentage of the population under the age of 18 (about 36%) and a
small percentage of persons 65 and over (14%).
As a whole, Chubbuck performs well on Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) or the conditions
in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age that shape health. In addition to access to
health care systems, these determinants include economic stability, physical environment,
education, food, and community context. Appendix C provides metrics for each of these criteria.
About 10% of Idaho's population lives below the poverty line; Chubbuck's poverty is 8%.
Chubbuck residents score well on community, mobility, and social capital measures.

D. CHUBBUCK 2045
Population projections prepared by the Bannock
Transportation Planning Organization (BTPO), and
the City of Chubbuck, forecast a population of
17,791 in 2045 (100,000 for Bannock County). The
population within the AOI is anticipated to be
approximately 20,000.

additional 500 dwelling units. Chubbuck appears to Source: BTPO/City of Chubbuck
be outstripping the forecast with building permits issued for 416
new homes in 2023 and 2024.
Over the next 20 years, an increase in the older cohort of residents can be anticipated along with
accommodations for the needs of persons 65 and older. With a current median age of 35 and a
healthy cohort of young people, serving the traditional family demographic of toddlers and
school age children should be a focus for the city. Addressing these factors was a major
consideration in developing each of the plan components.
The public engagement that occurred throughout the planning process indicated a desire
among Chubbuck residents to plan for a future that strives toward the following:
■ Healthy Connections
■ Livable Spaces
■ Economic and Educational Opportunities
■ Environmental Quality
■ Community Services and Safety
Each of these themes are discussed in plan chapters III — VII. Each chapter concludes with a goal
and objectives to meet that goal, as well as strategies, action items, and policies to reach the
objectives.
The Vision Statement was developed by the Steering Committee, and confirmed by the public
during various outreach opportunities; this
Vision Statement will guide planning and
decision-making in the years ahead:
"In 2045 the City of Chubbuck will
be a welcoming, healthy and
connected community with
opportunities for every age."

Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan
III. HEALTHY CONNECTIONS
The City of Chubbuck participated in a cooperative planning effort in 2022 and 2023 -- the
Bannock County Health Assessment. This included a community review of the health needs and
SDOH (housing insecurity, food insecurity, local access to health and social services, living in
rural environments, and advanced age). Findings of the focus groups and Community Action
Team included increasing community engagement, improving access to healthcare services and
to other activities that support health and wellbeing, and promote knowledge of transportation
services.
A. CHUBBUCK NOW
This comprehensive planning process integrated the concepts of the health assessment with
funding from the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health (BCIFH). Representatives from local
community health entities were interviewed as part of the initial stakeholder assessment, others
were invited to participate in the Steering Committee and others in a Community Health Focus
Workshop. The result was the identification of Healthy Connections as the first of five planning
goals: A community with easy access to healthy opportunities and services.
Transportation
Transportation is a critical element to
achieving the healthy connection's goal. The
Bannock County Community Action Plan
(2022) has planned for growth in the
Chubbuck area. The plan has identified several
roads in Chubbuck that need reconstruction
or rehabilitation. Figure 1 depicts State and
U.S. Highways and local collectors and
arterials.
Notably, the principal gateway to Chubbuck from the West is 1-86 diverging diamond signage
the 1-86 diverging diamond intersection, providing access to
the north and south (to Pocatello) on the Yellowstone Avenue corridor. 1-15 transects the eastern
portion of the city, providing access south to Salt Lake City and north to Idaho Falls. New Day
Parkway is Chubbuck's primary connection to the 1-15 interchange.
Local transit service is provided by Pocatello Regional Transit (PRT). Current bus stops and
routes, along with pathways and sidewalks are depicted on Figure 2 (Alternative Transportation).
Chubbuck residents also benefit from the nearby Pocatello Regional Airport, as well as Salt Lake
City International Airport, for air travel.

Recreation
Recreational opportunities also contribute to healthy
communities. Chubbuck residents have easy access to
National Park units (Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Craters of the
Moon, City of Rocks), State Parks (Massacre Rocks, Lake
Walcott, Harriman, Bear Lake), and access to public lands (US
Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management) for a variety
of activities such as mountain biking, camping, hiking,
hunting, and fishing. Snow sports are popular including
snowmobiling, alpine skiing, and Nordic skiing. Pebble Creek
Ski Resort, and East Fork Mink Creek Nordic Center, are
located 30 minutes from Chubbuck, while the Grand Targhee,
Kelly Canyon, and Pomerelle resorts are within a 2 -hour
drive.
Local recreation opportunities are identified in the 2018
Parks Master Plan (further depicted on Figure 3). The
National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) planning
metric for adequate park space per resident, was adapted for the Parks Master
Plan, settling on 6.0 acres of developed park land per 1,000 residents. At that time,
the City of Chubbuck offered 22 parks encompassing 87.4 acres serving the estimated
population of 14,644 people. At present, there are 21 parks encompassing 99 acres serving the
current population of approximately 16,000. Thus, the City's current level of service has
surpassed the 6:1000 ratio in the NRPA guidelines.
State to Gibson Trait
Community Health
During the planning process, food security was identified as a concern in the Portneuf Valley and
in Chubbuck in particular. While the poverty level is relatively low (8.2%), social service providers
are concerned whether basic needs can be met with a median income of about $70,000 a year.
Using digital data, a food desert analysis was undertaken depicting walkable zones from
residential areas to grocery stores or bus stops. Walkability was assessed as areas that are
within .6 miles of a destination. Road layouts and barriers (railroads, subdivisions, fields, etc.)
were considered to guarantee that a route is walkable and notjust "as the bird flies." As
depicted on Figure 4, the blue zone shows all the areas where someone could walk to a bus
stop within .6 miles, while the green zone consists of areas where someone can walk to a
grocery store within .6 miles.
The walkable zones were compared to the areas of the population with no vehicles, followed by
an assessment of location of populations below the poverty level. Figure 4 presents the
walkable zones over the demographic areas in which the population is below the poverty level
in the past 12 months. The darker the purple, the higher the percentage of the population is
considered in the poverty level. The vast area to the north is less populated and more likely to
have access to a vehicle. The presence of transit is a mitigating factor for access to the various
food stores located around the Yellowstone Avenue and 1-86 interchange.

B. CHUBBUCK 2045
In coordination with BTPO, using the recent
Transportation Plan as a guide, the City is
committed to ensuring a viable street system. This
planning process revealed the value of the
regional transit system as it provides a critical
alternative mode for those who rely on access
without personal vehicles, including youth and
seniors. The challenges of the diverging diamond
at Interstate 86 and Yellowstone Corridor persist
and will require continued attention with the state
transportation department.
The City enjoys a first-rate parks system that
provides health benefits including community connections that many residents both expect and
appreciate. Recent park planning efforts have endeavored to focus on larger parks (fewer pocket
parks) with more regional attractions including sports fields, and other interactive attractions for
visitors as well as residents. Enhanced pathways connecting community attractions, parks,
schools, and population centers, continues to be a priority with special attention being paid to
collaborative use of irrigation rights of way.
While community health has continued to be an ongoing concern, progress has been made on a
number of fronts. The current demographics indicate a relatively healthy population; the transit
system supports access to health care, social services, and healthy food options. The community
health focus group also recommended three projects for consideration (depicted below). Since
these projects were discussed in Summer 2024, opportunities have arisen to pursue both a
community garden and a community centerpiece.

IV. LIVABLE SPACES
In 2018, the City of Chubbuck created their first Strategic Plan. The Central theme was Our
CommUNITY- a great place to live, work and raise a family. Key to achieving this vision is the
identification of appropriate land uses, that serve the community's need for housing, commerce
and education, accessible connections between those uses, and a pleasing design aesthetic that
engenders community pride.
A. CHUBBUCK NOW
Land Use
The City of Chubbuck covers approximately
seven square miles and includes a variety of
�r
land uses. It is distinct from many other Idaho _
cities because of its origins as an
unincorporated settlement, which has
resulted in rail line and other transportation
corridors becoming some of the community's a -'
dominant features. The Mid -20t" century
residential subdivisions and ample park— - �¢
amenities are notable features. The Pine
Ridge Mall, which opened in 1981, has
evolved overtime. The mall area and the long r,
Yellowstone Avenue corridor are well known
commercial areas. The City is also defined by Future senior housing (Northside Crossing);
the Portneuf River that skirts along the lower Grace Assisted Living facility (New Day
southwest edge of the city, the foothills that are Parkway)
located on the City's eastern side, and the City
of Pocatello to the south. Significant industrial
uses are located along rail lines and other transportation corridors, notably 1-86. The largest area
designated for industrial use is in the southwestern portion of the city planning area/AOI. Larger
lot residential development and farms, along with agricultural support services occur on the
outskirts of town within the AOI.
An Urban Service Boundary (USB) established by the City identifies the extent of where public
facilities (water and/or wastewater) are provided, and new developments can readily connect to
services. Existing homes may also connect to the infrastructure if there are water supply or water
quality issues. The availability of services also promotes efficient development to keep the costs
of infrastructure in check.
Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan 25
In 2020 the City engaged in a local planning effort to envision a designated downtown area,
soon named Chubbuck Village. The area's boundaries include Yellowstone Avenue to the west
and the Railroad to the east, I-86 to the south and Chubbuck Road to the north. Two key
developments provide catalytic opportunities for redevelopment of the area, the Idaho Central
Credit Union (ICCU) corporate office campus, and the new Chubbuck City Hall with a plaza and
park. In 2022, the Chubbuck Village plan was articulated and added to the Comprehensive Plan
and a form -based zoning code was adopted. The Chubbuck Development Authority (CDA) has
taken an active role in seeking new development proposals on properties within the Village to
provide new destinations for Chubbuck residents and increase pedestrian activity. In 2024, the
CDA welcomed the Urban Land Institute (ULI) to assemble a Technical Assistance Panel to review
the Village and make recommendations on how to encourage future enhancement of the area.
The City of Chubbuck and Bannock County agreed on the current AOI in 1998; a new AOI is
anticipated by December 2025. The AOI provides a buffer around the city to include areas that
the City may reasonably expect to serve in the decades ahead.
Housing
Chubbuck continues to see increased demand for housing due to population growth, having
experienced 12% increase over a ten-year period from 13,922 residents in 2010 to 15,570 in
2020 (decennial Census). The 2023 estimated population was 15,900 a nearly 22%jump from the
Census Bureau 2010 estimate.
The owner -occupied housing unit rate from 2019- 2023 was 74.5% which is comparable to the
state-wide homeowner rate of 72.9°/x. Median value of owner -occupied housing units in the
same period was $313,700, with owner's median costs (including a mortgage) of $1,571, while
median gross rent cost was $917. The latter was less than the median monthly gross residential
rent in Idaho in 2023 ($1,150).
The principal housing type is the single-family home, at an average low density of about 4
dwelling units per acre. The dominant density is 5-7 dwelling units per acre, largely due to the
town's origins as a collection of subdivisions with easy access to both Pocatello and Idaho Falls,
with educational and cultural attractions and more diverse retail and visitor opportunities. The
appeal of life in Chubbuck is a family centered, friendly landscape of homes, schools, and parks.
Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan 26
In early 2025, the City of Pocatello initiated preparation of a Pocatello housing plan, which will
include information on the housing inventory in Chubbuck. The objective of the housing plan is
to identify the City's existing conditions, housing needs and housing constraints and
establishing goals and strategies for the City to implement.
Community Design
The City of Chubbuck has incorporated key
design strategies into their Zoning Code for
two separate zoning districts in Chubbuck
Village. The Highway Corridor District for
parcels adjacent to Yellowstone Avenue and
the creation of the Village District for new
construction and redevelopment in the area
east of the Highway Corridor zone. The
purpose of the Chubbuck Village standards is
to encourage the development of urban
meeting spaces and pedestrian oriented
development in the area between Yellowstone
Avenue and the railroad, and Chubbuck Road
and Interstate 86.
City Hall Entrance Plaza
The Chubbuck Village standards include design standards for
buildings, streetscapes, site layouts, and landscaping. The code is form -based with a focus on
design and the suitability of proposed uses. The City Code also provides for design and
dimensional standards, landscape and screening requirements, and sign provisions for other
areas of the city. Project level design review is also incorporated into commercial and multi-
family review and permitting processes city-wide.
B. CHUBBUCK 2045
The FLUM (presented as Figure 5) was developed by reviewing the existing Chubbuck
Comprehensive Plan FLUM and discussing modifications with the Steering Committee and at the
public open house. Principal feedback received from the community members was that single-
family neighborhoods were a key part of the quality of life in the City. However, more
opportunities for community gathering, entertainment and retail uses were also considered
desirable. Some of the older commercial areas were identified as needing revitalization to be
truly viable and interesting to current residents. Feedback during the process indicated that the
mixed-use designation along major streets, providing dense residential use combined with
office or commercial activity, was not as welcome. However, to ensure continued community
improvement and housing diversity, some medium to high density development would be
necessary.
The proposed Future Land Use designations (refer to Table 3) provides the major land use
designations and provides an opportunity for existing and future zones to meet the intent of the
FLUM and Comprehensive Plan.
Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan 27
The FLUM reflects large areas of low to medium density residential particularly in the west half
of the city and the AOI. Residential Low is designated throughout the northwest portion of the
AOI and covers large areas of land presently used for agricultural purposes. With the
designation of a new AOI boundary, these areas may revert to a County land use designation.
The industrial areas are largely unchanged and do not depart from current land uses. Mixed use
designation was removed from several corridors noted on the previous FLUM at the urging of
community members. However, this designation was retained on some key corridors particularly
those with transit service. Several potential areas for future specific planning efforts are
identified to address unique characteristics of these areas:
• Community Centers (3) — East Gateway, along with neighboring Elk Hills, is
anticipated to provide an 1-15 accessible area of town that can accommodate a mix of
uses. These could include higher density residential with appropriate related commercial
activity that benefit from freeway access. Trails and open space, within the center
identified as Elk Hills, will provide a complementary use but also a potential regional
attraction. The Chubbuck Village is the third (existing) community center.
• Mixed Use Hubs (3) — Yellowstone Corridor provides commercial opportunities along
a north south spine. As residential development continues to the north, new
opportunities for strategic densification should be considered for this aging commercial
corridor. Pine Ridge Hub is currently undergoing redevelopment and will continue to be
a shopping destination, with the potential to offer more in the way of community and
visitor services. The potential Philbin Place is a long-range project that should leverage
future development on the west end of the city, adjacent to Miller Park. Potential land
uses could include patio homes or other medium density development, along with
appropriate related convenience retail or service commercial and office.
• Connectivity Areas — A designated route for bus, bike, walking, and other streetscape
amenities connecting key destinations.
The FLUM also reflects the importance of the preservation of parks and beautification of open
spaces, expressed by community members during public outreach efforts. Opportunities to
capitalize on the beauty of existing natural features include the beautification and development
of areas along the Hiline and the Redman Lateral canals. These areas along with the corridors
listed above, and others, are also ideal for gateways and welcoming signage, and wayfinding to
optimize Chubbuck's sense of place.
In addition, community members
expressed the desire for urban
beautification such as enhanced
landscaping, improved sidewalks, and
pedestrian pathways, and well maintained
residential and commercial areas.
Specifically noted were improved code
enforcement, enhanced property lighting
(while being mindful of dark sky
provisions), and screening of storage areas.

4P.1 Adhere to land use designations on the Comprehensive Plan Map.
4P.2 Direct urban growth to urban infill areas.
4P.3 Conduct a proper evaluation of the capacity to serve new development before extending
City services outside the USB.
4PA Encourage a transition of land use from low -intensity land uses (i.e., residential, quasi -
public park) to higher intensity land uses (i.e., commercial, and industrial) and taller
structures. Purposefully arranged land use transitions avoid conflicting uses while
keeping distances between uses short enough to facilitate communications,
transportation, and human activity between them.
4P.5 For infill of underutilized and isolated properties, implement innovative approaches for
the provision of access and utilities.
Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan 33
4P.6 General commercial zoning should be located between communities or at a community
center, at the intersection of principle arterials, or on Yellowstone Avenue between Quinn
Road and Siphon Road.
4P.7 Improve access to commercial development along Yellowstone Avenue via parallel
streets, alleys, etc.
4P.8 Make investment in infill and redevelopment more attractive than sprawl.

modes from residential areas.
4P.12 Strongly encourage infill and redevelopment to be pedestrian oriented.
4P.13 All new development shall be provided with adequate public facilities and services,
including water, sewer, roads, fire protection, EMS, police protection, and access to parks
and schools.
4P.14 Use a combination of zoning, development standards, site planning/design review, and
transportation routes to create the highest level of compatibility between adjacent uses
while retaining a complementary mix of possible uses within neighborhoods and
communities.
4P.15 When City services are extended outside the USB, update the boundary accordingly.
4P.16 Protect prime farmland from premature development and discourage smaller -lot
subdivisions which may place undue burdens on the County and the City.
4P.17 Encourage higher densities and site designs that support access to transit.
4P.18 Identify target areas for residential infill and redevelopment and encourage best
practices that improve compatibility with adjacent properties.
4P.19 Permit increased residential densities in targeted areas for infill and redevelopment.
4P.20 Use development standards, buffers, architecture, site planning and Design Reviews to
create a high level of compatibility between adjacent uses while striving to achieve a
complementary mix of possible uses and protect property values and investments within
neighborhoods and communities.

facilities and dumpsters in the district. Dumpsters are encouraged to be located in
alleyways.
4P.23 With a recognized benefit to the broader public of having an urban space and to the
economic potential in the district, the City will carefully analyze and strongly consider
establishing an urban renewal area containing the district so that tax increment financing
Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan 34
is available to assist with public improvements of the streetscape and other areas
deemed to be of important public interest.
4P.24 Coordinate parking space standards and parking lot designs with pedestrian, bicycle, and
transit systems.
4P.25 Create new pedestrian -oriented neighborhoods.
4P.26 Encourage the development of plazas and courtyards in commercial development that
invite public gathering, particularly in the neighborhood and community centers;
encourage residential developments to do the same.
413.27 Encourage the rehabilitation of historic or architecturally significant structures for
continued commercial and residential use or appropriate adaptive reuse.
413.28 Encourage the sharing of school and park sites whenever possible.
413.29 Focus on architectural quality during Design Review, particularly for public projects.
413.30 In all new subdivisions and developments, connect streets with other/future streets to
provide an efficient network that serves all users. Include sidewalks that are safe,
convenient, and inviting to pedestrians.
413.31 New neighborhoods shall be designed to incorporate parks, pathways, and/or
institutions into neighborhoods and to accommodate residents desiring to use bus
transit.
413.32 Require the development of well -landscaped parking lots and buffer strips on major
corridors and arterial roads.
Number Policies
4PCV.1 A mixture of land uses is strongly desired and encouraged within Chubbuck Village
so that the area draws visitors throughout the day and throughout the week.
Methods to obtain this mixture could include limiting certain uses to certain
geographic areas in the district or to limiting certain uses to maximum percentage
of floor area of the entire district as a whole (e.g., secondhand retail uses limited to
5% of the total floor area square footage). Uses which will draw visitors to the area
more frequently than others are preferred over those which will draw less frequent
visitors. Examples of preferred uses include things such as a small grocery market,
bakery, bicycle shop, restaurants, offices, studios and galleries, experiential
activities, etc., all of which offer regular business hours during daytime, evenings,
and weekend hours.
4PCV.2 Commercial lots and buildings within the Village should be scaled such that local
entrepreneurs have access to the property market thus creating a diverse mixture
of property ownerships and uses through a use of dimensional or area maximums.
4PCV.3 Events in the Village are strongly desired and encouraged. With increased focus on
the Village and with investments in usable public space around city hall on Linden
Avenue, the district would be optimal as it develops for Chubbuck Days, farmers
markets, food truck vendors, and other community -oriented events.
Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan 35
4PCV.4 Future land use boundaries in the Village are not intended to be firm geographic
lines at the intersections of one land use vs. the other. The City maintains flexibility
in determining exact zoning designation based on a site-specific analysis.
4PCV.5 Structures and uses existing at the time of the Village creation shall be allowed to
remain in their current form and function. New uses shall adhere to the land uses
identified in City Code. For existing structures, the City developed regulations and
standards for minor modifications impacting the public realm such that minor
modifications will not require complete compliance with the Village standards but
will bring the structure closer into the spirit and intent of the district's vision.
4PCV.6 The Village standards in City Code identify land uses that are permitted,
conditionally permitted, or not permitted based on factors different from the
remainder of the City, including efficient use of the land and City services.
4PCV.7 Consider the use of a business improvement district (BID) as the primary
downtown administrative body responsible for programming events, maintaining
landscaping, activating public spaces, creating common parking areas, advertising,
etc., but until such time that the district is formed and deemed self -sustainable, the
City will lead efforts for said functions. BIDS are allowed by Idaho Code Title 50,
Chapter 26 and allow for cities to create an organization that is publicly sanctioned
but privately directed. BIDS complement standard public services by adding
opportunities for enhanced safety, cleanliness, physical improvements, parking
areas, transportation services, etc., and a levy may be assessed on all businesses or
business property within the district to pay the costs for desired features.
4PCV.8 Identify street furniture such as streetlights, trash receptacles, benches, etc., for use
in public spaces that provide continuity in Village design.
4PCV.9 Ensure that stormwater improvements collect and treat stormwater below ground
with infiltrators, to maximize land use efficiency in the Village.

V. ECONOMIC AND EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES
The City of Chubbuck has engaged in a robust economic development process through the
City's founding of the CDA through their administration of redevelopment areas, and through
the City's development of a form -based code for the Chubbuck Village area. Chubbuck's
location adjacent to Pocatello, and Idaho Falls within commuting distance, also allows for
Chubbuck residents to benefit from the educational and vocational programs available at Idaho
State University (ISU) and the College of Eastern Idaho in Idaho Falls.
A. CHUBBUCK NOW
Educational Opportunities
Chubbuck is a part of Pocatello / Chubbuck School District 25; PCSD has an enrollment of
approximately 12,000 students and the district includes schools in Pocatello, Chubbuck, and
northern Bannock County. There are five elementary schools that serve Chubbuck; 50-60% of
elementary school students attend schools within the Chubbuck city limits and attend middle
school and high school in Pocatello. Most Chubbuck students are bussed to both middle school
and high school. There are also three public charter schools located within the City.
ISU is a public research university located in Pocatello that enrolls 10,850 students; the university
primarily serves students from Idaho and the western US. ISU has a substantial number of local
students enrolled. Residents of both Chubbuck and Pocatello attend the College of Eastern
Idaho in Idaho Falls; the College of Eastern Idaho enrolls 24,000 full-time and part-time students
and offers vocational and Associate programs.

Economic Opportunities
According to 2022 US Census data, Chubbuck's primary employment sectors include retail,
healthcare, financial services, and food services.
Major Employers. While the location of Chubbuck adjacent to Pocatello and within commuting
distance of Idaho Falls and Idaho National Laboratory results in most residents working outside
of Chubbuck, major employers in Chubbuck include Idaho Central Credit Union and retail, and
restaurants located in Chubbuck's commercial areas. Regional employers include ISU, Amy's
Kitchen, Simplot, Portneuf Medical Center, and the Shoshone Bannock Tribes (refer to Table 4).
Urban Renewal Areas. The CDA controls three urban renewal properties which can only be
developed through a Request For Proposal (RFP) process; one of these sites has recently been
awarded for a project. CDA has three existing urban renewal areas (Pine Ridge, Northside
Crossing, & Harvest Springs). CDA could potentially add a fourth urban renewal area in the
Urban Village and Yellowstone Corridor area of Chubbuck which would assist with financing for
streetscapes and sidewalks. The recent ULI-Idaho Technical Assistance Report analyzed options
for the expansion of the Chubbuck Village urban renewal area and reimagining gateways from I-
15 and along Yellowstone Avenue.
Chubbuck Village and Yellowstone Avenue. The City of Chubbuck has incorporated key
design strategies into their Zoning Code through the establishment of the Highway Corridor
Zoning District for the parcels along Yellowstone Avenue and the creation of the Village Zoning
District for new development in the Chubbuck Village area east of the Highway Corridor zone.
The purpose of the Chubbuck Village area is to encourage the development of urban meeting
spaces and pedestrian
oriented development in
the area between
Yellowstone Avenue, the
railroad, Chubbuck Road,
and Interstate 86.
Chubbuck's Village

B. CHUBBUCK 2045
As the population continues to grow, educational programs and related facilities will be
continually reassessed to ensure that the needs of the community are met. Continued
communications with the School District and Charter schools are essential to addressing the
community's desire for more facilities in proximity to Chubbuck residents.
The City of Chubbuck and the CDA have thoughtfully implemented a strategic urban renewal
plan and design standards for the Chubbuck Village and Yellowstone Avenue areas, this
planning effort continues to evolve with the area's changing needs and opportunities.
Some of the recommendations outlined in the 2024 ULI-Idaho Report are notable for their
applicability to broader City economic development objectives. These include establishing
wayfinding routes, developing a community branding process, reviewing existing codes for the
Northgate interchange area, and creating and implementing a redevelopment area for
Chubbuck Village, West Village, and
Yellowstone Avenue.
In order to support existing businesses
and encourage local entrepreneurs to
support Chubbuck, continued
engagement with the Pocatello
Chubbuck Chamber of Commerce is
encouraged. Participation in Chamber
committees will enhance representation
of Chubbuck's concerns for civic
improvement and economic
development.

Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan
VI. ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
Chubbuck's proximity to public lands and natural resources has been fundamental to the growth
and evolution of Chubbuck. Natural resources and maintaining and improving environmental
quality have played a critical part in previous plans for Chubbuck and the Bannock County area
including the Bannock County Community Action Plan, Chubbuck's Parks Master Plan, and the
2002 Chubbuck Comprehensive Plan.
A. CHUBBUCK NOW
Natural Resources
While Chubbuck is a predominately urban area, agriculture makes up nearly 35% of the land
area of the City, approximately 1,513 acres. Agricultural areas are primarily concentrated east of
Interstate 15 and in the northwest areas of the City near Chubbuck's AOI. Nearly all agricultural
areas in the city limits are irrigated or semi -irrigated, spring wheat accounts for over half of
Chubbuck's cropland. Figure 6 depicts croplands within the AOI.
The Portneuf River flows along the eastern edge of the Portneuf Range, through downtown
Pocatello and southwest of Chubbuck. Chubbuck and surrounding areas bordered to the east by
the Pocatello Range and Forest Service and BLM public lands are located in and adjacent to
Bannock County.
Water for residential and commercial development is derived primarily from City wells that draw
water from the Lower Portneuf Valley
Aquifer. Most water for agriculture in the
Chubbuck areas is surface water from
the Blackfoot River, provided by the Fort
Hall Irrigation Project. Typically, farms on
the foothills use private well water.
Air quality in Chubbuck and surrounding
areas is impacted by wintertime
inversions. While the Portneuf Valley was
designated as a nonattainment area for
air quality in 1990, in 2006 the area was
designated as "in attainment" when a
maintenance plan for the area was
adopted and implemented (Idaho
Department of Environmental Quality).

Hazardous Areas
While the City of Chubbuck does not encounter hazards frequently, there are several areas in
Chubbuck that have the potential to generate hazards (refer to Figure 7). Bannock County
updated their Hazard Mitigation Plan in 2021, and several areas in Chubbuck are identified in
the plan. There is the potential for hazardous waste spills related to the railway and Interstates
15 and 86 running through Chubbuck; these hazards are addressed through the County's
Hazard Mitigation Plan. It should also be noted that large portions of Chubbuck are located
within an Urban Wildland Interface area. The numerous canals crossing through Chubbuck,
including the Fort Hall Main Canal, the Stuart Lateral, the Church Lateral, and the Redman Lateral
are potentially hazardous due to their location in urbanized areas with unrestricted access.
There is also the potential for flooding within the AOI, associated with severe weather and
drought flood cycles. The dry creeks that run west from the foothills may have flooding potential
including the Little Pocatello.
As referenced in Bannock County's 2021 Mitigation Plan, there are several fault lines that run
throughout the Bannock County area and there is a moderate degree of risk of seismic activity
in the area. Bannock County is cited in the Hazard Description and Assessment of the plan as
having risks of severe weather, drought, flooding, dam failure, earthquakes, landslide /
avalanche, and wildfire.
B. CHUBBUCK 2045
While management plans have improved air quality and
protected natural resources in Chubbuck and surrounding areas,
adherence to existing standards and the continual evolution and
improvement of these management plans will be critical. The
protection of farmland and open space areas and
environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands, streams and
rivers, and the Lower Portneuf Valley Aquifer should be
prioritized in future plans.
Future planning for infrastructure should emphasize using
existing surface water for irrigation and prioritize reduction of
aquifer usage when tenable. Through the City of Chubbuck's
development review and plan approval process, new
construction should be required to meet standards that will help
to protect water resources by requiring construction practices
that reduce stormwater pollution. New construction in UWI
areas should feature vegetation and building materials that will
reduce the risk of wildfire damage.
Bannock County's Hazard Mitigation Plan has identified ongoing
hazards in and around Chubbuck and mitigation as well as
ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and updates for the plan.
Continued attention to emergency management, response, and
recovery, will need to continue at the regional level.

VII. COMMUNITY SERVICES AND
SAFETY
Thanks to good leadership and strategic partnerships, the City of Chubbuck has been able to
capitalize on their location adjacent to the City of Pocatello to share in the costs and
maintenance of some urban services such as wastewater. Chubbuck developed its own water
treatment and distribution systems and its own infrastructure for police, and fire, and emergency
management services (EMS). The City also collects impact fees for public safety equipment and
vehicles. Figure 8 shows public services throughout the City of Chubbuck.
A. CHUBBUCK NOW
Police
Beginning in fiscal year 2025, the City Council approved two new law enforcement officer
positions and one crime scene investigator/ ordinance officer. This brings the total number of
sworn officers to twenty-five and fifteen non -sworn employees.
In 2024, the department joined the STAR team (Southern Idaho Special Tactics and Response).
Fire/EMS
The Chubbuck Fire Department is located at 4727 Yellowstone Avenue. The fire department
offers several services to the residents of Chubbuck, including fire suppression, emergency
medical services (non -transport), hazardous materials response, and casualty response for Idaho
Health District Region 6. The volume of calls the fire department receives has been rising,
approaching 2,000 calls in 2021 and 2022. On average, the fire department runs 1,800 fire,
emergency medical services, and other emergency calls throughout the year.
Water/Wastewater
Existing water rights are sufficient until the City reaches a population of approximately 40,000.
Additional facilities will be installed east of 1-15 by builders concurrent with their developments.
The Water and Wastewater Department regularly samples and evaluates water from each City
well and prepares an Annual Water Quality Report. The City's water quality is excellent and there
are no recent or current violations.
Sanitation
The Sanitation Division is committed to providing curb -side and commercial waste and recycling
services. The Division helps maintain a clean and safe environment for the citizens of Chubbuck
and supporting the City's vision to create a sustainable future for generations to come.

City Hall
Chubbuck's City Hall was constructed on
East Linden Avenue in 2020-2021 to spur
the creation of Chubbuck Village. With the
ICCU campus, City Hall helps anchor
Chubbuck Village and provides parking
and green space for community events and
a farmers' market. The interior space
supports a variety of administrative offices,
as well as ample council chambers and a
large multi-purpose community room with
full technology for a variety of meetings
and events. All streets bordering city hall
have been improved with angled parking
available to city personnel, visitors, and
nearby downtown businesses.
Library
Chubbuck City Ha((
The Portneuf District Library (5210 Stuart Avenue) serves the residents of Chubbuck. The
Portneuf Free Library was established through the efforts of a group of parents who wanted to
secure library services for all residents of School District 25, outside of the Pocatello City limits
(Portneuf Library). The library offers books, audiobooks, eBooks, notary services, and children's
programs to all those living within the district.
Communications
Chubbuck does not have a USPS location within City limits. Options for mail service include
USPS stations in Pocatello, or private enterprises such as FedEx, located in Chubbuck, or UPS,
located in Pocatello.
Several providers offer broadband services throughout Chubbuck. Direct Communications and
Google Fiber offer fiber broadband internet.
B. CHUBBUCK 2045
The City, working with a consultant, prepared a capital improvements plan for major facility
needs based on different population thresholds. The plan identified needs for the current
population, approximately 16,000, and for a future population threshold.
The City of Chubbuck has identified where facility expansion is needed in the coming years.
Future projects for culinary water include:
• Wells
• Transmission lines
• Booster stations
• Storage tanks
Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan 53
The City Council has approved two new law enforcement officer positions and one crime scene
investigator for fiscal year 2025.
Also moving into 2025, the fire department has prioritized hiring three additional firefighters,
bringing the total number of full-time firefighters to 19. A $1,700,000 Aerial will be placed into
service, which was funded through Fire Department impact fees, franchise fees, and a $500,000
donation from ICCU. The department is currently working towards Automatic Aid with Pocatello
Fire and placing an ambulance at Chubbuck Fire Station. The department is also exploring
options to acquire a much-needed second fire station. Land has been identified along Philbin
Road within a large parcel acquired by the City for a future park.
Public outreach has shown that Chubbuck residents would like expanded recycling services
mainly for glass, and for plastics #3-7, which are not currently recyclable. Current recycling is
picked up twice a month for a fee in addition to standard trash collection fees.

VIII. GUIDING CHUBBUCK
A welcoming, healthy, and connected
community with growing opportunities
for every age.
Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan
VIII. GUIDING CHUBBUCK
During the planning process the following goals were created for the future of the City of
Chubbuck:
HEALTHY CONNECTIONS GOAL: A community with easy access to healthy opportunities and
services.
LIVABLE SPACES GOAL: A built environment that establishes a unique identity for
Chubbuck.
ECONOMIC AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GOAL: A vibrant community where social and
economic needs are met.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY GOAL: A natural environment that reflects the community's
desire for clean water and open space.
COMMUNITY SERVICES AND SAFETY GOAL: A safe and healthy city for all.
Objectives and strategies were created for these goals and were used to help guide the
development of the FLUM. Implementation strategies provide city personnel with the building
blocks to achieve the desired goals. Once adopted the City should conduct an annual review of
progress and this information should be presented to and evaluated by the City Council and
LUCD.
Strategies by Priority
This Chapter includes tables that list all strategies presented by assigned priorities:
• High Priority — immediate action within the next 1 to 3 years (Table 5)
• Medium Priority — follow up action to high priority items or 3 -to -5 -year target dates
(Table 6)
• Low Priority — action items for beyond 5 years (Table 7)
• Continued collaboration — strategies that are on-going (Table 8)
Each strategy lists a lead City Department or responsible party, as well as potential partners, to
accomplish implementation. The strategies requiring continued collaboration for successful
implementation are listed under a separate section below.
This chapter concludes with a brief discussion regarding tracking implementation efforts,
through community benchmarks and a series of scorecards, to ensure that measurable progress
is made on meeting plan objectives.
