C. The city building official in reviewing an application for a building permit, and the design review committee, in reviewing an application for design review clearance, may determine that a particular land use, although designated in the schedule of general controls as a permitted use, should be allowed only upon the issuance of a conditional use permit.

Section 18.12.040 of the Chubbuck Municipal Code is hereby amended by the adoption of a new Section I to read as follows: I. Density Restriction for Duplexes, Three-plexes, and Four-plexes--In order to maintain an appropriate mixture of single household dwellings, duplexes, three-plexes, and four-plexes, the Design Review Committee, Land Use and Development Commission, City Council, and City Staff shall, in reviewing applications for building permits, design review clearance, and conditional use permits for duplexes, three-plexes, and four-plexes, attempt to achieve a balance among these types of residential dwellings. Within the Limited Residential District (R-2), building permits for duplexes shall be granted or denied so as to ensure that no more than 10% of the structures in any distinct geographical area or subdivision are duplexes. In General Residential Land Use Districts (R-3) design review clearance and building permits for duplexes, three-plexes and four-plexes shall be granted or denied so as to ensure that the number of such structures do not exceed 25% of the total structures located in any distinct geographical area or subdivision. Conditional use permits, building permits, ORDINANCE - Page 9 4T-25 and design review clearance should also be granted or denied within the Limited Residential (R-2) and General Residential (R-3) Land Use Districts so as to avoid any clustering of double or multiple household dwellings in any particular section of a distinct geographical area or subdivision in conflict with the stated goal of establishing a diversity of residential uses in these land use districts. Conditional use permits may be issued so as to cluster duplexes within a Limited Residential (R-2) and duplexes or three-plexes within a Land Use District and building permits and design review clearance may be issued so as to cluster three-plexes and four-plexes within a General Residential (R-3) Land Use District if the same is necessary to take into account unique conditions affecting esthetics, traffic movement and control, municipal services, utilities, or open urban space available for recreation and other purposes. In each instance, the determination of what constitutes a distinct geographical area or subdivision shall be made by the Land Use and Development Commission, subject to de novo review by the City Council. In making this determination, the Commission and Council shall consider the actual boundaries of subdivisions, existing neighborhoods, natural boundaries and barriers such as streams, canals and roads, school and church locations, and other factors which may make a partigular area a distinct and cohesive neighborhood unit. If (1) a subdivision plat designates certain lots for development of duplexes, threeplexes, fourplexes or apartments, (2) the total number of such lots complies with the density restrictions of this section, and (3) the plat has been approved, and filed in accordance with the requirements of Title 17 of this Code, then duplexes, threeplexes, fourplexes and apartment buildings may be constructed on the lots so designated, and on no others within that subdivision. SECTION 6: Establishment of Residential Design Overlay District. Chapter 18.16 of the Chubbuck Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: 18.16.010: Purpose.

Ail uses in districts with which the commercial design overlay district is combined shall be required to obtain design review clearance prior to obtaining building permits. All three-plexes, four-plexes and apartments in districts with which the residential design overlay district is combined shall be required to obtain design review clearance prior to obtaininq building permits. All applications shall be accompanied by appropriate architectural and site development plans to scale, prepared by a registered Architect or Engineer licensed by the State of Idaho, which shall show structure locations, landscaping, plans for irrigation systems in landscaped areas, permanent existing trees, ground treatment, fences, off-street parking and circulation, location and size of adjacent streets, north arrow and property lines, drawings of major exterior elevations showing building materials and proposed color scheme, plans for buffering the proposed use from adjoining property, existing grade and proposed new grades.
