GENERAL BUSINESS
Commission viewed approximately one hour of the workshop DVD by the Association of Idaho
Cities titled " Model Ordinances for Zoning & Subdivisions" and discussed:
• Members generally felt our ordinance fits the model and has been streamlined to work
smoothly.
• They discussed conditional use permits having defined time limitations. Chairman
Anderson said we have sometimes required annual reviews to ensure the use still matches
what was permitted or associated the permit with the current owner. Larry Kohntopp said
there are sixteen criteria in the code. City staff monitors limits, and it can be brought
back to the commission for review.
• Deloy Stuart noted we should educate the public on what is expected for granting a
conditional use permit.
• It is almost impossible to list all uses on a matrix. The city attempts to categorize a use
within the matrix, but the conditional use permit is a useful procedure.
• Radio antenna ordinances and windmill permits were new experiences.
• Deloy Stuart proposed looking into refining home occupation guidelines. Chairman
Anderson noted people can work out of their home more and more via the intemet for a
company located elsewhere. Larry Kohntopp said the main factor is that it should not
detract from the residential neighborhood. Commission discussed several details,
including temporary employees and major(mino4 occupations.
There being no further discussion, Jason MendenhMA tj meeting be adjourned; Shawna Elzner
