PUBLIC HEARING
An application by Idaho Central Credit Union, 4400 Central Way, Chubbuck, ID 83202 for Idaho
Central Complex Preliminary Plat. Located in Northwest %, Section 10, Township 6 South, Range
34 East of the Boise Meridian in the County of Bannock. The subdivision will be bordered by I-
86, Central Way, Burley Drive and Evans Lane.
Stewart Ward, Dioptra, 4737 Afton Place, Chubbuck, ID 83202 was in attendance to represent the
application.
Ward explained this is a resubmittal of the preliminary plat that was approved in February of 2015
because Idaho Central Credit Union has purchased 7 properties along Evans Lane and wants the plat to
include the additional parcels. In March the south end of Burley Drive was vacated. The right-of-way and
existing easements will remain for all utilities that are currently in that right-of-way. The right-of-way
down Burley Drive is 50' wide with 5' utility easement on each side. The right-of-way and the 2 utility
easements will remain as one 60' utility easement.
An improvement they will be making is the canal will be relocated. The piped canal will go down Evans
Lane to Burley Drive and cross the cul-de-sac so the pasture on the east side of Burley Drive can still be
irrigated.
Burch commented for city staff the main concern was the easements remaining in place on Burley Drive.
Mendenhall opened the public hearing for comment.

GENERAL BUSINESS
1. Review Pine Ridge Mall Urban Renewal Project and Plan for conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan and approve the "Review and Finding" instrument.
Smart discussed with the commission. City Council, Chubbuck Development Authority and staff have
been working together to create an Urban Renewal Plan for Pine Ridge Mall. Farmer Holding, owners of
the mall, is looking at help with infrastructure development at the Pine Ridge Mall. As the mall increases
their value the tax money generated by that increase in value will come to CDA to help defray some of
the expenses. Farmer Holding is planning on spending about 18 million dollars in the mall in 2015. They
are hoping that will generate 22 million dollars worth of valuation increase in the mall. The increase in
tax from that will be captured by CDA to defray some of those expenses for infrastructure
improvements. Part of the process is for Land Use to determine if the Urban Plan conforms to the
Comprehensive Plan of the city.
Smart explained CDA. Organized in 1992 it has 7 commission members and has about a 2 million dollar
budget every year. The Whitaker Road reconstruction project is CDA money. Knudsen Blvd was another
CDA money project. CDA is funded by the taxes that are collected by the increase in value of the
developments. Over the years 21 million dollars have been spent on projects since 1992. This urban
renewal area will create a TIFF district for the mall property for the next 20 years.
Farmer Holding is expecting to invest 64 million dollars in the mall in the next 2 years.
Mendenhall entertained a motion to give approval for the chairman to sign the Review and Finding or to
not approve. Anderson moved that the commission is in agreement with the Pine Ridge Mall urban
renewal area improvement plan and authorize the chairman to sign the plan. Buttars seconded.
Roll Call Vote: Schwartz, Yes; Stoddard, Yes; Buttars, Yes; Armstrong, Yes; Blackinton, Yes; ;
Anderson, Yes; Mendenhall, Yes. Motion carries
2. Discuss ordinance draft amending section 18.12.030(A) of the Chubbuck municipal code.
Burch explained city staff is not looking for an official approval or decision today, this is a review. Item 5
has all new language.
a. Not have a footprint exceeding the size of the foot print of the associated residence;
Burch: The accessory structure is not any larger than the primary residence.
b. Not exceed the maximum height, measure at the peak of the roof, allowed in the zoning district;
Burch: Intend to leave the controls of the height as currently control depending upon the zoning in our
current ordinance.
c. Not exceed 40% of the total lot area, when combined with the primary structure;
Burch: The home and the garage together only occupy 40% of the lot. Other communities do limit that by
zone. City staff did not feel that was appropriate.
Shall match the primary structure in type constructions, roof lines, materials and exterior
finishes, unless the Design Review Committee allows something different;
Burch: Design Review Committee may allow something different.
e. Not be located in the front yard setback.
Burch: No accessory structures in the front yard.
Any accessory structure greater than two hundred square feet in foot print shall require a
building permit be issued after review by the Design Review Committee for conformity with this
section.
Burch: Final paragraph is an acknowledgement that if an individual wants to build a structure greater
than 200 square feet that will require a building permit from the city.
City building official considers when a breezeway connects a primary structure to the accessory
structure it is considered 1 structure.
After discussion among commission Burch and city staff will make changes to the language and bring to
the September Land Use meeting.
