Matson, city staff, to be in 100% compliance with the comprehensive plan the zoning needs to
be residential or C-1. The short term interest is the preliminary plat. Having this parcel 2 zones

J:\Planning\LUDC\LAND USE SECRETARY\Minutes\Minutes 2019\003.14.19 (Thursday).docx 4

intense use than a C-2. The risk is greater if it is zoned C-2 because of the comprehensive plan.

Memorandum
To: Devin Hillam, Community Planning & Economic Development Director
From: Mori Byington, Planning Director
Date: April 1, 2019
Subject: Land Use and Development Commission Meeting
Background – The Bannock Transportation Planning Organization (BTPO) is required by Federal
legislation to develop a 20-year Long Range Transportation Plan, called the Metropolitan
Transportation Plan (MTP). BTPO is currently updating the 2045 MTP with a scheduled approval
date of August 2019. BTPO staff will present an overview of the MTP and the planning and
travel demand model process.
Meeting Purposes - BTPO will present the 2045 demographic projections, define the Balance
Growth Scenario, and review the assumptions used in allocating the projected population and
employment.
2045 Demographic Projections – The housing unit, population, and employment control
total projections for Bannock County and the BTPO Planning Area.
Balanced Growth Scenario– For the 2040 MTP, BTPO growth developed scenario
designed to lower Vehicles miles traveled and land consumption. The three major
components of the scenario are in-fill, mixed-use development in Chubbuck and mixed-
use development in the Northgate area.
Assumptions and allocations of projected population and employment – BTPO uses the
existing zoning and comprehensive plans along with Balanced to evaluate each parcel
for development and density potential.
Meeting Outcome – BTPO is seeking validation of the assumptions and allocations model used
to distribute the 2045 populations and employment are in keeping with current zoning and
comprehensive plans. BTPO also expects to use input from the Land Use and Development
Commission to modify the allocation model.
