It became apparent at the meeting that the public notice and the application for land use
district change did not include a request for general commercial zoning adjacent to
Yellowstone. Further, the public notice did not disclose the request for annexation into the
City as stated on the application. City Attorney Tom Holmes advised the Commission that
this was a defect in the public hearing notice that could be rectified only by renoticing and
rehearing at a later date. It was determined that Lot 14, which is owned by the City of
Chubbuck is presently within the City boundary and zoned General Commercial (C-2).
Pete Anderson moved that the Commission deny any zone changes at this time, because the
City did not include the request for annexation. Pete also moved that any additional costs for
re-advertizing be borne by the City of Chubbuck Dusty Whited seconded. Gayle Anderson,
yes; Dusty Whited, yes; Mary Harker, yes; Myrna Cain, yes; Kent Kearns, yes; Peter
Anderson, yes.
