ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHUBBUCK, IDAHO, AMENDING SECTION
16.12.025, "ACCESS MANAGEMENT", TO CLARIFY THE APPLICATION OF THE
GUIDELINES TO ALL FUNCTIONAL STREET CLASSIFICATIONS, NOT LIMITED
TO COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS AND MULTI -UNIT RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENTS OF MORE THAN 100 UNITS; REPEALING PRIOR
CONFLICTING ORDINANCES; PROVIDING FOR THE SEVERABILITY OF THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS ORDINANCE; PROVIDING THAT ALL OTHER SECTIONS
OF CHAPTER 16.12 NOT AMENDED SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT; AND
PROVIDING WHEN THIS ORDINANCE IS EFFECTIVE.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHUBBUCK, IDAHO:
Section 1. Facts. The City has periodically adopted and implemented the Access
Management Guidelines promulgated by the Bannock Transportation Planning Organization
from time to time. In a recent court action, the court determined the City had applied those
Guidelines in a residential area that did not meet the definitions referenced in the Guidelines as
"commercial development and multi -unit residential developments in excess of 100 units." The
Council finds that although this restriction is set forth in the Guidelines, it will limit the
effectiveness of such Guidelines to the City as it develops in the future. Specifically the Council
finds that residential area such as along Whitaker Road between Siphon And Chubbuck Roads,
while residential, will be a corridor in the future for the anticipated commercial developments
that will occur on Chubbuck Road and on Siphon Road, particularly after the anticipated Siphon
Road interchange with Interstate 86 is built at some future date. Corridors between such
commercial areas, particularly to provide alternate routs to major arterials such as Chubbuck
Road and Hiline Road will promote more efficient and orderly movement of traffic and reduce
congestion. Accordingly the Council finds is in the interest of the City to apply the Guidelines
in Chubbuck to all areas and not be limited to "commercial development and multi -unit
residential developments in excess of 100 units."
Section 2. Amended Section 16.12.025. Section 16.12.025 of the Chubbuck Municipal
Code shall be amended as follows:
16.12.025: ACCESS MANAGEMENT: All streets and roadways shall be designed to
conform with the "Access Management Guidelines" (hereinafter "guidelines") as adopted by
the Bannock Transportation Planning Organization on February 13, 2012, and as may from
time to time be amended; provided however notwithstanding any language to the contrary in
the Guidelines. within the Citv- Table 3a "General Prnvkinn.,, of A,7.c.rtc,;Z MRnncr(-.m,.nt
Streets: shall be applied to all areas, not just in a commercial or multi -unit residential
developments of more than one hundred (100) units. Such guidelines shall be utilized by city
staff as well as the design review committee, land use and development commission and the
city council in planning and coordinating the city street system as well as access between
parcels owned by various entities for purposes of minimizing the need for access to city
streets. Access to properties adjoining Yellowstone Avenue within the city of Chubbuck shall
be designed to conform to the more restrictive of the guidelines or to "Idaho Transportation
Department Access Management Standards And Procedures For Highway Right -Of -Way
