GENERAL BUSINESS
1. Discuss the Chubbuck Comprehensive Plan and its present applicability.
Smart explained that Mayor England has asked the City Council and Land Use Commission to
review the current Comprehensive Plan.
Holmes stated one councilman is not sure if the Land Use pattern for the Siphon Road
Interchange, if it goes thru, is appropriate. Another councilman wants to get rid of small parks
going with only big parks.
Andrus explained the recommendation for Comprehensive Plans is that they be reviewed every
10 years.
The commission discussed what needs to be reviewed.
After a lengthy discussion Anderson noted that the consensus of the board is the May 13th
meeting will be an open meeting. A over view of the Comprehensive Plan will be presented by
Andrus. This way the board can get the input from the community.
Anderson mentioned there is a bill working its way thru the legislature, unsure if it has been
signed by the governor. It deals with the site plan reviews and design requirements that can be
placed on the communities along with development standards. Holmes will check on the status
of the bill reporting what he found on May 13th
2. Consider time /day change of the Land Use Meeting in consideration of the City Council meeting
schedule being changed to the 152 and 3rd Wednesday of the month at 6:00 pm.
