Re: Comprehensive Plan Amendment- Chubbuck Village/Downtown
Summary of Amendments Sought
Adoption of a new Chapter, Chapter 16: Chubbuck Village Specific Plan (Attachment 1)
a. Creates specific plan for the identified "downtown" area which revises applicable maps and
creates new goals and policies which will drive zoning and development standards as well
as city efforts in the subarea.
Amendment of currently adopted Future Land Use Map to reflect changes to map from new
Chapter 16 (Attachment 2)
a. Adds a "See Chapter 16" note over the "downtown" subarea; with the intent of Chapter 16
to largely stand alone to drive policies and development in the downtown, adding its more
refined future land use areas to the broader map results in a map which was difficult to
read.
3. Amendment of currently adopted Functional Class Road Map to reflect changes to map from new
Chapter 16 (Attachment 3)
a. Adds a "See Chapter 16" note over the "downtown" subarea; with the intent of Chapter 16
to largely stand alone to drive policies and development in the downtown, adding its more
refined street classifications to the broader map results in a map which was difficult to read.

The history of the Village subarea, as well as a narrative addressing the economic, placemaking, and cultural
importance and needs of a "downtown" area is provided on pages 1-6 of the proposed "Chapter 16:
Chubbuck Village Specific Plan".
1. The proposed change is required for the public convenience or necessity, or the general welfare of the
community, and is in the community's best interest.
Analysis:
Kitsinger (2013) states that "A city's downtown area has an important and unique role in economic and
social development. Downtowns create a critical mass of activities where commercial, cultural, and civic
activities are concentrated. This concentration facilitates business, learning, and cultural exchange... In most
cases downtowns serve as the engine for local economies. However, downtowns are much more than a
profit center to cities. They also represent the image and character of a city to the rest of the world.
Downtowns are unique in that they are typically the only neighborhood that belongs to and is shared by
everyone in the region."
Chubbuck was formed much later than other cities in the area which already have established downtown
areas like Pocatello, Blackfoot, Idaho Falls, and Rexburg and much like Ammon and Iona to Idaho Falls,
Chubbuck developed largely as a bedroom community to Pocatello and as a result, lacks a traditional
"downtown" area. As found in the proposed plan on pages 1-2, as part of the City's strategic plan surveys,
residents were positive about developing a downtown area and provided several suggestions for a
downtown area if one was to be created; many of those suggestions are incorporated into the proposed
plan and zoning code.
Moreover, the identified Chubbuck Village area is prime for the development of a downtown area, given its
proximity to an interstate interchange, adjacency to a state highway, its central location in the city, and
having the larger employer, Idaho Central Credit Union, in the area. These facts all point to the needs of
the downtown subarea for the public convenience or necessity and the general welfare and best interest of
the community.

2. The proposed change is needed to recognize substantial changes in the actual conditions of the area or
city that have occurred since the comprehensive plan was adopted, or is necessary to correct one or
more goals, objectives, or policies that exist in the plan.
Analysis:
Although the adopted Comprehensive Plan contains an incredible amount of relevant and much needed
goals and policies over 20 years later after it was adopted in January 2002, the adopted plan did not
contemplate the need and desire for a downtown -type environment in the City of Chubbuck nor did it
contemplate that the largest employer in the City, Idaho Central Credit Union, would locate their
corporate headquarters in city and at the current location. As development has occurred and as the idea
of "placemaking" has proliferated throughout the United States as an effective economic and community
development action, the need has arisen to amend the adopted plan to create the downtown area that
(Google Earth Aerial from 2003 showing lack of current commercial development and redevelopment trends
on Yellowstone Ave and surrounding areas, including the ICCU headquarters)
3. The proposed change will comply with the community's goals, objectives, and policies within the
comprehensive plan, including its maps; and
The new chapter creates goals and policies which will apply only within the designated area, and which
will supersede any other conflicting goals and policies in the larger city-wide plan but that said, the goals
and policies of the existing plan are supported by the new chapter.
• Chapter 4 Goal 1 calls for directing urban growth to urban infill areas. Will a large amount of the
Chubbuck Village area being underutilized the proposed chapter has goals and policies which will
do just that while also permitting increased residential densities in the downtown area and
creating policy incentives for more compact and compatible growth.
• Chapter 4 Goal 3 calls for providing convenient commercial service locations and for limiting their
adverse impacts on transportation systems, residences, and visual integrity. The proposed chapter
will allow for the creation of mixed-use zoning in the Chubbuck Village area which will function
well to provide commercial opportunities for residents in both the Village area as well as for the
community at -large without overly stressing transportation system since the Village area is
located adjacent to Yellowstone Ave. and Chubbuck Rd arterials. Moreover, the same goal's
3
policies call for reducing curb cuts and driveways which both the proposed plan and ensuing
code support.
• Chapter 4 Goal 5 calls for encouraging compatible land uses and has attached policies which
promote compatible development, area refinement plans, and ensuring adequate commercial
area and residential infill opportunities. The proposed plan has goals and policies which will
further these existing goals and policies of the Plan.
• Chapter 6 goal 2 and its policies promote investments in the appearance of the city through area
refinement plans, planned arrival features, landscaping, and city model projects. The proposed
plan fulfills those goals and policies within the geographic area.
• Chapter 11 Goal 1 calls for diversifying and strengthening the economic base. As the Chubbuck
Village area develops in accordance with the proposed Chapter 16, opportunities for new
commercial ventures will be created which enhance one another.
• Chapter 11 Goal 2 calls for centralization of commercial activities. The proposed Chubbuck Village
area lies within an existing (but underutilized) commercial area with great proximity to a
transportation network and central location in the City. Design standards are proposed which will
create more interesting shopping experiences from the public realm and the proposed code
based on the plan offers incentives not found elsewhere in the City.
4. The proposed change will not place undue burden on transportation or other public facilities in the
planning area and does not adversely impact the delivery of services by any political subdivision.
Analysis: As previously indicated, the proposed Chubbuck Village area is located adjacent to two arterials,
Yellowstone Avenue and Chubbuck Road and as such, further development of the area will not place an
undue burden on transportation or other public facility planning. Importantly, the Chubbuck Village area
is central to the city and contains existing water, sewer, and roads, making the area ripe for quality infill
projects aligned with the proposed chapter. The Plan and proposed zoning code will not adversely impact
the delivery of services by any political subdivisions.

Chapter 16: Chubbuck Village Specific Plan
The specific plan for the urban gathering place in the City of Chubbuck.
History
Chubbuck is relatively new, having incorporated in only 1949 and having developed largely as a bedroom
community of the towns of Pocatello and Alameda, also in northern Bannock County. As a relative newcomer as
far as cities in the West are concerned, the Village of Chubbuck lacked the unorganized growth patterns frequently
found on main streets in pioneer cities that resulted in business corridors characterized by shared wall buildings,
mixed architecture, horizontal and vertical mixed uses, and an active streetscape.
Chubbuck experienced much of its growth from the 1970s onwards and has been subject to trending
development patterns since that time. While the City contains a healthy economic corridor consisting of an indoor
shopping mall, several big box stores that serve the regional market, and a healthy, diverse mixture of other
commercial uses, development and architectural trends did not lend themselves towards the creation of a
pedestrian -friendly commercial city center.
Community Engagement Part I- Strategic Plan
From 2017-2018, the City of Chubbuck sought broad public input while developing a strategic plan. Input
from residents, business owners, and visitors was sought on a variety of topics including general thoughts and
perceptions about: Chubbuck as a place to live, work, and play; quality of life; cultural, shopping, employment,
civic, and recreational opportunities; safety; transportation; whether Chubbuck had a vibrant downtown and
public spaces where people wanted to spend time; and quality of city services and infrastructure.
When asked "What does Chubbuck's future "city center" look like, many responses seemed to treat the
existing commercial corridor on Yellowstone Ave (State Highway US 91) as what would forever be the center hub
for Chubbuck (e.g., "I don't envision a city center- it's always been a street"). Others could not identify an area for
where a city center would occur with comments such as "Not sure what city center is or [where it is] located. We
are {sic} so spread out in the city" and "Needs a more defined downtown area ... there is none at this point" and
"Where is city center?". Others offered ideas for what they'd like to see in a city center area; suggestions included:
• A walking district with businesses and eateries
• Clean, shaded areas to sit on a bench, easily accessed by walking/riding bike or non -motorized vehicle,
eating places, shopping set up like 'Station Park' in Farming, UT. This could be done on a smaller scale with
room to expand. Near new freeway interchange."
• A gathering place with grass/parking for events, family -friendly and convenient. Library and other services
would be concentrated there.
• Outside shops with walking paths with restaurants and outdoor shopping.
• Not on Yellowstone. Master -planned city center where citizens can park and walk between buildings.
• Needs to be a more defined downtown area ... there is none at this point."
• "Not on Yellowstone. Master planned city center where citizens can park and walk between buildings".
Based on input from the surveys, the Council approved a strategic plan with the following action items
(Exhibit 1):
• Create a downtown plan for all ages and abilities.
1
• Develop a downtown plan to create an area in the city where youth will feel valued and have
opportunities; ensure that youth have a seat at the planning stage table.
• Develop a downtown plan with art and cultural opportunities throughout and with programmable
and programmed space.
Facility Needs Assessment- New City Hall
In 2017, the City obtained the services of LCA Architects to perform a facility needs assessment based on
historical and forecasted trends including city growth and associated city personnel needs to estimate future
building and site area space. With the information from the study, the City was better able to understand
budgeting and scheduling needs and to evaluate alternative approaches to solving facility needs. After reviewing
the study and available options for funding, the Council and administration decided that the City would
immediately pursue the construction of a new City Hall followed by a reconstruction of the existing city hall to be
serve as a police station expansion.
Downtown Pitch to City Council
Based on the input received through the strategic planning process, in 2018 the community services and
public works departments sought to identify areas in Chubbuck which could be home to both a more urban
downtown of the City as well as to a city hall. Several areas were considered, including greenfield areas at the new
Northgate Interchange and on Knudsen Boulevard, as well redevelopment possibilities, including the area
between 1-86 at the south and Chubbuck Road at the north and the railroad tracks at the east and Yellowstone
Avenue at the west, and other areas along Chubbuck Road and Yellowstone Avenue. Based on a city staff visit to
the Idaho Central Credit Union headquarter campus in Chubbuck and having assessed surrounding development
and conditions and of the plans and needs for the credit union, city staff proposed the including the area between
1-86 at the south and Chubbuck Road at the north and the railroad tracks at the east and Yellowstone Avenue at
the west, and other areas along Chubbuck Road and Yellowstone Avenue as the site to pitch to the City Council as
an option.
In February 2018, the directors of the community services and public works department presented to
the City Council. The presentation included the preliminary results of the strategic plan related to the
community's input and desire for a downtown area, a concept drawing of a possible layout and land uses in the
identified area, and rational for a downtown area in Chubbuck based on economic development and
placemaking concepts. The Council was overwhelmingly supportive of the downtown concept and of locating
the new city hall in the identified area and when the CEO of Idaho Central Credit Union stood and offered to
secure an available piece of property for the new facility until the city could purchase it, the puzzle pieces fell
together, and the downtown planning process commenced.
2
(Concept Plan presented to City Council)
When it was decided to build the new City Hall near the corner of Burley Drive and Linden Avenue, the
Chubbuck Development Authority quickly purchased approximately 7 acres of blighted or underdeveloped
properties in the area so that the properties did not immediately redevelop under current city commercial zoning
standards and so that they could be disposed of only once the City had developed zoning standards befitting a
downtown area of the City. From 2018-2020, the city hall building and surrounding area were designed through
the efforts of consultants and Chubbuck staff. With an eye to the future, the city hall property and those CDA -
owned properties around it were redeveloped to have angled parking, streetlights and trees, and usable public
space which could be programmed and used, and it is with the design of that project that a model was built for
the streetscape in the Chubbuck downtown area.

Community Engagement Park II- Steering Committee
In January 2020, a group of 32 stakeholders from across the community gathered to provide input in a
visioning workshop facilitated by J -U -B Engineers, the Langdon Group, and Gateway Mapping, Inc. Stakeholders
included representatives from the Idaho Department of Commerce, City of Chubbuck, Idaho Transportation
Department, Pocatello-Chubbuck Chamber of Commerce, Portneuf Library District, REDI, Bannock
Transportation Planning Organization, Chubbuck Development Authority, SICOG, Myers Anderson Architects,
Pocatello Regional Transit, Jackson Land Design, city residents, and representatives from a number of area
businesses including Idaho Central Credit Union, Palace Theater, Patriot Square, . From the workshop,
important elements where identified to be addressed in future planning efforts (Exhibit 2):
• A theme should be developed for the downtown area- ideas for themes included using local
natural features for names and symbols, ;
• Art and street furniture are important and street furniture should be consistent;
• The area should be a modernized urban area instead of attempting to reinvent and compete
with Historic Pocatello;
• The area should have representative art that includes murals, sculptures, and possibly wrapped
utility boxes;
• The area should be cozy and have areas for gathering;
• If alleys are used they should be wide, clean, well -lit, and paved;
• Well-designed lighting and streetscapes are desired. Streetscapes should be landscaped and
trees used for shade.
• Streets should utilize angled parking for efficiencies.
• Possibly publicly available amenities could include gas fire pits allowing for multi -season use, a
skate park, outdoor bands, events, etc.
• The downtown area should have multi -modal connectivity with other areas of the city.
Community Engagement Park III- Community Surveys
Following the visioning workshop, from 2020 — 2021, a number of community surveys where provided
to the community for input on a number of specific elements in the downtown area (Exhibit 3). With the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic affecting the ability to gather in-person, online surveys and use of the City's social
media pages and the use of the app, Nextdoor, were to be deemed appropriate to collect feedback from city
residents, businesses, and others within the broader Portneuf Valley. With concurrent construction of the new
city hall building in the new downtown area and the need to create additional local streets and streetscapes,
survey results influenced choices that were made for lighting and street names (local natural features).
Furthermore, results of the survey were used to influence this plan and will be used to create the ensuing
downtown subarea ordinance of codes and standards.
Existing Uses and Conditions
The area from 1-86 at the south and Chubbuck Road at the north and the railroad tracks at the east and
Yellowstone Avenue at the west contains approximately 100 acres of land and a variety of land uses ranging from
the newly developed Idaho Central Credit Union headquarter campus (ICCU owned approximately 1/3 of the
entire 100 acre area), self-service storage units, aged large lot residential properties, gas stations, banks, fast food
and other restaurants, and other interspersed. Although the area of the identified district along Yellowstone
Avenue and Chubbuck Road experienced private investment for redevelopment, the internal area not fronting the
arterial streets largely have not (apart from the ICCU campus). Again, not including property owned by Idaho
Central Credit Union, approximately 20 acres of the area are currently undeveloped without residential or
commercial structures.
The Village area contains 2 major arterial roads, Yellowstone Avenue (state highway 91) and Chubbuck
Road, 1 functionally designated minor arterial (Burley Drive), 2 functionally classified collectors (Linden Avenue
and Evans Lane), and five local streets including: East Burnside, Evans Lane, East Linden Avenue, Kinport Crossing,
and Scout Mountain Way, Kinport Cross and Scout Mountain Way are the newest streets and together with the
streetscape improvements on Burley Drive and E. Linden Ave that were done as part of the new city hall project,
they serve to model the vision for the rest of the street network internal to Chubbuck Village.
The blocks in this area are longer that what is typically promoted for highly walkable and accessible
developments with the distances being as shown below:
4w,-4 R.
—920' —434' —920'

—652' 656'
Implementation Goals & Policies
To create a long-lasting downtown area that attracts businesses and residents alike, the identified area in its
current form will require modifications to zoning, its built form, and land uses and structures. To facilitate the
transition, as a policy of this district plan, the goals and policies of this Plan are adopted by the City of Chubbuck
into the Comprehensive Plan and supersede and control any conflicting goals and policies found in other portions
of the Comprehensive Plan:
L
Goal 1: A transportation network will be developed which will promote enhanced pedestrian and bicycle
mobility within and to the Village area.
Policies:
a. This map is adopted as the functional class road map for the Chubbuck Village area for the purpose of
identifying type, design, and function. While general street and right-of-way locations are identified
in the map below, it is not intended to set specific locations; deviations in specific route location may
be approved through the development or permit approval process provided the proposed route
meets the intent of this Plan.
7
b. Properties which are adjacent to streets and/or walkways or which have proposed streets and/or
pedestrian corridor locations containing the streets and/or walkways will be required to
develop/redevelop in accordance with this plan.
1. Right -of -Way and Improvement Requirements for Evans, E. Linden, and Burley Drive and
other streets where angled parking is used (below; large copy on file with staff)
u« PfPICU STREET SFCTiU
W/ 45 ANGLEC =4WM G
2. Right -of -Way and Improvement Requirements for all other streets where parallel parking is
used (below; large copy on file with staff)
W/ PARALLEL PARKING
3. Typical locations and dimensions of striping, lighting, trees, and curb extensions (below; large
copy on file with staff)
4. Pedestrian corridors (or walkways/paseos) shall be designed in relationship with their
surrounding building environment at the pedestrian scale. When pedestrian corridor, or
paseo, is encroached upon by buildings, the City may be require that the taller the building
the wider the corridor shall be and may require landscaping or other features to "soften" the
space and make it more inviting for pedestrians.
c. Through the development exaction and/or building permit process, defined streetscape and
pedestrian corridors as shown in this plan will be dedicated and constructed.
d. Sight triangle requirements are encouraged to be lessened in this district when compared with
traditional commercial and mixed-use developments commonly found in the City.
n
e. Bicycle and pedestrian routes such as crosswalks, paths/sidewalks, bike lanes, etc., which connect to
the Chubbuck Village area are a priority of the City. Priority crossings outside of the district itself which
will encourage access to the district via alternative means of transportation are the installations of
crosswalks on Yellowstone Avenue from 1-86 north to Park and on Chubbuck Road from Hawthorne
Road to Hiline Road.
f. Through a combination of public and private efforts, bicycle racks shall be provided to encourage
biking to the area and to prevent the use of trees, benches, trash bins, etc from being used for bicycle
parking. Bicycle racks must be located to allow a clear walkway to comply with the Americans with
Disabilities Act and racks should be located in either the furnishings zone or on curb extensions where
possible. Inverted "U" and loop rail racks sturdily attached to the ground are preferred for normal
sidewalk installation but all others except traditional/grid bike racks may be considered.
Goal 2: Through a combination of street, sidewalk, on -street parking, landscaping, lighting, setbacks and
architectural design requirements, the public realm is inviting, accessible, aesthetic, and safe and ensure that
the district is visually cohesive.
Policies:
a. Streetscape types will include street -level setbacks (build -to line) where necessary to create a street
wall by locating buildings adjacent to the sidewalk or front property line.
b. Alleyways are encouraged and when used, will require designs that recognize them as programmable
public space and a right-of-way. Public art and building access through alleys are encouraged to
activate the spaces. The use of alleys for commercial unloading is encouraged.
c. Tasteful public art, including murals, which enhance the intended characteristics of the district is
strongly encouraged in the area to activate walls or otherwise blank spaces.
d. Pedestrian accessibility is crucial between buildings and the public realm and public easements,
sidewalk connections, and public entrance doors will be required.
e. Street names, when new or changed, shall be reflective of natural features with proximity to
Chubbuck, or to geographic features recognized commonly in the state of Idaho (i.e., "Idaho Street").
f. General architectural standards will be developed for structures in the Chubbuck Village area but it is
not the intent of this plan to restrict creative solutions or plans. Architectural standards shall be
reflective of the need to create buildings that enhance the public realm, that are compatible with
surrounding (current and planned) structures and spaces, and that create an appealing visual interest
without being overly prescriptive.
g. Ground level architecture and design shall be such that pedestrian walks on sidewalks are interesting
and engaging, factors which encourage walking. This can be accomplished through elements such as
9
store front windows with retail displays, outdoor dining areas, art displays, and placing restrictions on
unbroken fagade appearances, requiring vertical fagade features, etc.
h. Building heights will limited to specific minimum and maximum heights in order to create a unified
district and to create a public realm in public rights-of-way (public or private) that is comfortable and
inviting.
i. Signs in the Chubbuck Village area will be limited to scale and location so they are not obtrusive and
so that they enhance the public realm.
j. Distinctive entry features, including arches, monuments, signs and other structures are encouraged
to be planned and constructed to give the district an identify separate from the rest of the city. Such
features should be reflective of the nature theme of the district.
1. Preferred Locations of Entry Features (below)
wiI
10
k. Regulations will be developed that focus on form and function of the public realm to a greater extent
than traditional zoning focused primarily on a separation of uses.
Parking regulations will be adopted which promote on -street parking and shared parking areas
(surface and garages) and which to decrease chances that the Village area will be "over -parked".
Parking garages are highly encouraged to allow for more efficient use of the land area. Parking
standards should be created in recognition of this policy which differ from policies in other parts of
the city. Where uses locate in Chubbuck Village which exceed the number of street parking stalls
fronting the property, the city may require that monies be collected towards the creation of parking
areas in a common parking area in or near the district.
m. Surface parking facilities shall be designed in accordance with CEPTED principles (Crime Prevention
through Environmental Design) to maintain the setback and street wall of the frontage streetscape
and tools for accomplishing the wall may include rows of trees or hedges, or decorative fencing/walls
limited in height.
n. To maximize land use efficiency in the district, stormwater improvements should collect and treat
stormwater below ground with infiltrators.
o. The City will identify street furniture such as street lights, trash receptacles, benches, etc. for use in
the district in public space.
Goal 3: Mixed land uses and the built form in Chubbuck Village will create synergy in the region which draws
individuals, commerce, and events throughout the week and throughout the day.
Policies:
a. The below future land use plan/map is adopted as the policy for the land use growth in the Chubbuck
Village area. Future Land Use boundaries are not intended to be firm geographic line and the
intersections of land use designation boundaries, the policy offers flexibility to the City in determining
exact zoning designation based on a site-specific analysis.
11
b. The Plan District -Zone District Conversations for the Future Land Use Map areas shall be as follows:
Plan Designation
Zoning District Permitted
Highway
HC- Highway Corridor
Village
V- Village
Commercial
As established in Table 4-3 of the Plan
12
c. Structures and uses currently existing at the time of this plan's adoption shall be allowed to remain in
their current form and function but only permitted uses and structures shall be allowed. For existing
structures, the City will develop and implement regulations and standards for minor modifications
impacting the public realm such that minor modifications will not require complete compliance with
the Chubbuck Village area standards but will bring the structure closer into the spirit and intent of the
district's vision.
d. Commercial lots and buildings within Chubbuck Village should be scaled such that local entrepreneurs
have access to the property market thus creating a diverse mixture of property ownerships and uses
through a use of dimensional or area maximums.
e. A mixture of land uses is strongly desired and encouraged within Chubbuck Village so that the area
draws visitors throughout the day and throughout the week. Methods to obtain this mixture could
include limiting certain uses to certain geographic areas in the district or to limiting certain uses to
maximum percentage of floor area of the entire district as a whole (e.g., secondhand retail uses
limited to 5% of the total floor area square footage). Uses which will draw visitors to the area more
frequently than others are preferred over those which will draw less frequent visitors. Examples of
preferred uses include things such as a small grocery market, bakery, bicycle shop, restaurants,
offices, studios and galleries, experiential activities, etc., all of which offer regular business hours
during days/evenings and Saturdays.
f. Shared sanitation facilities between uses are desired to minimize frequency of such facilities and
dumpsters in the district. Dumpsters are encouraged to be located in alleyways.
g. Events in Chubbuck Village are strongly desired and encouraged. With increased focus on the
Chubbuck Village and with recent investments in usable public space around city hall on Linden
Avenue, the district would be optimal as it develops for Chubbuck Days, farmers markets, food truck
vendors, and other community -oriented events.
Goal 4: Chubbuck Village will function through a combination of private, quasi -public, and public cooperation.
Policies:
a. The City should consider the use of a downtown business improvement district (BID) as the primary
downtown administrative body responsible for programming events, landscaping maintenance, activating
public spaces, creating common parking areas, advertising, etc. but until such time that the district is
formed and deemed self -sustainable, the City will lead efforts for said functions. BIDS are allowed by Idaho
Code Title 50, Chapter 26 and allow for cities to create an organization that is publicly sanctioned but
privately directed. BIDS complement standard public services by adding opportunities for enhanced
safety, cleanliness, physical improvements, parking areas, transportation services, etc., and a levy may be
assessed on all businesses or business property within the district to pay the costs for desired features.
b. With a recognized benefit to the broader public of having an urban space and to the economic potential
in the district, the City will carefully analyze and strongly consider establishing an urban renewal area
13
containing the district so that tax increment financing is available to assist with public improvements of
the streetscape and other areas deemed to be of important public interest.
c. The City, with support and input from stakeholders, should pursue funding opportunities for
infrastructure investments from:
• Idaho Department of Commerce- Community Development Block Grant
• BTPO allocations
• City investments
• Chubbuck Development Authority
• Local and community sponsors
• Other grant opportunities

CITY OF CHUBBUCK
STRATEGIC PLAN
FY 2019 to FY 2024
#choosechubbuck
#createchubbuck
#focusonchubbuck
INTRODUCTION
The FY 2019 — FY 2024 Strategic Plan is the City of Chubbuck's first strategic plan. The Plan was created through
gathering community input through questionnaires, obtaining input from all City Departments, and having
discussions with the City's elected officials. The result is a vision, key performance metrics to achieve by 2024, and
identification of actionable opportunities to bring the Plan to fruition. While not a binding policy document, this Plan
provides a roadmap to achieving the community's goals in consideration of the City's resource constraints.
The Strategic Plan is intended to be a living document, reviewed
annually by the City prior to budget presentations to identify
emerging strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and to
have its action items amended as needed to add or remove projects
crucial to accomplishing its key performance metrics. As part of the
budgeting process and/or in other program shifts, City department
heads should identify how their requests will further the goals and
vision of this plan.
Action items in the Plan are assigned to specific department heads (or
division managers). The intent of this plan is that the action items are
effectuated by identified department personnel and/or through
coordination boards/commissions which are administered by
department heads (e.g., Public Works Director, as Executive Director
of the Chubbuck Development Authority (CDA), works with the
CDA to fulfill a specific action item; the Planning & Development
Director works with the Land Use & Development Commission to
fulfill a specific action item).
City of Chubbuck Strategic Plan
oo Every year, department heads
report on how their
departments are fulfilling
action items and the vision of
the Plan
oo Action items are reviewed
annually by staff and elected
officials to determine if
changes should be made
oo Every 5 years, questionnaires
are sent to the public to
evaluate how the performance
metrics were met; the Plan is
revised as needed

METHODOLOGY
From December 27, 2017 through February 20, 2018, the City of Chubbuck sought input from area
residents on a questionnaire which would lead towards the creation of the City's Strategic Plan. The questions were
drafted by City of Chubbuck Staff and reviewed by the City Council prior to seeking responses. The survey was not
intended to be exclusive to City of Chubbuck residents as City Staff and the Council sought input from all residents
within and near the City.
The questionnaire occurred in 2 formats, one being digital in which a Survey Monkey link was published on
the City's social media accounts and Mayor's vlog, provided by the Highland High School Principal to students, and
linked in the Mayor's December quarterly newsletter and the second form being paper surveys which were mailed to
randomly selected households within the City of Chubbuck. Randomly selected households were determined using
mailing info received on November 14, 2018 from the City of Chubbuck's utility billing database under the City
Clerk. Responses were incentivized through a drawing for 5 $25.00 gift cards to an area restaurant through the
Pocatello-Chubbuck Chamber of Commerce.
The database contained 4,367 billing addresses and was converted from .txt format to Excel format.
Duplicate names were removed from the database using the "Remove Duplicate" data tool in Excel leaving 4,047
unique names, and the list was randomized using the "RANDBETWEEN" function. With the list randomized, the
first 600 names were selected. Finally, businesses were removed from the list to create a list of 543 random survey
recipients. Paper surveys were distributed along with postage paid return envelopes via the Highland High School
Honor Society and a local church youth group.
The Questionnaire for the Strategic Plan received 409 responses with 332 of the responses coming from
respondents who indicated that they reside in the City of Chubbuck. At a 95% confidence level, using 2016 ACS 5 -
Year estimates that the City of Chubbuck has 14,644 residents, responses for those who so indicated that they
reside in the City have a confidence interval of +/- 5.4%. Survey results for Chubbuck residents and non-Chubbuck
residents are included as appendices to this Plan (malicious comments redacted).

Chubbuck Downtown Revitalization
Recommendations — How to Move Forward
Chubbuck is Ready
After gathering input from the community,
building on the input received through the
City's Strategic Plan process, it is apparent that
Chubbuck is ready for a new downtown. A
Downtown Revitalization Plan, with public
involvement and ongoing engagement with
funding partners, is essential to move this
important endeavor forward and position the
City for success.
Goals + Projects
Following the adoption of the City's Strategic
Plan, the City took a big step forward by hosting
a workshop with business owners and key
stakeholders, facilitated by City staff and
consultants on January 27, 2020. The Mayor
welcomed participants who identified the
following goals and specific projects for
downtown Chubbuck.

See attached Workshop Summary
Chubbuck Downtown Recommendations I January 2020 1 1
How to Move Forward
In order to make the community's vision come
true, there are very distinct steps that should be
taken to achieve success. For downtown
planning, the best place to start is by forming a
Downtown Revitalization Steering Committee
that can support the City with developing a
Downtown Revitalization Plan.
Other specialty committees may need to be
formed in the future to implement specific
projects identified in the Downtown
Revitalization Plan, such as art, events,
bike/pedestrian improvements, etc. With a
strong vision and consensus, success is much
more likely to occur if people who specialize in
these areas are involved early and often.
With some of the groundwork that has been
established with the downtown visioning
session, Chubbuck is in a position to move
forward with a comprehensive Downtown
Revitalization Plan with a focus on specific facets
of downtown revitalization including
community branding, art, benches, facade
improvement programs, decorative lighting,
wayfinding/signage, parking, agreed-upon
street section(s), and public infrastructure.

Action Plan
1. Issue Request for Proposals for
a Downtown Revitalization Plan
It is recommended the City of Chubbuck issue
an RFP for planning, grant writing, public
involvement and engineering services to cover
all facets of an implementable Downtown
Revitalization Plan.
2. Develop Downtown
Revitalization Plan
Why does Chubbuck need a Downtown
Revitalization Plan? A well -conceived and vetted
plan rallied by the community will provide City
decision -makers with a solid roadmap to follow.
Moreover, funding agencies, such as the Idaho
Department of Commerce, expect to see that
the City has developed a plan with prioritized
improvements that are supported by business
owners and the public. Funding agencies also
want to see that the City is ready to make real
changes that will support long term economic
growth for existing and future businesses. The
Downtown Revitalization Plan should address
the following items:
• Existing Conditions Assessment
• Priority Investment Areas & Phasing Plan
• Multi -modal Circulation & Parking
• Typical Street Sections
• Concept Design for Top -priority Projects
(i.e. Yellowstone Avenue beautification,
Chubbuck Road corridor)
• Cost Estimates for Top -priority Project(s)
• Building & Street Design Standards
• Zoning Code Revisions for Downtown
District
• Business Attraction Strategy
• Strategic Funding Plan
3. Develop Strategic Funding Plan
A Strategic Funding Plan is an important tool for
implementing improvements identified in a
Downtown Revitalization Plan. The Strategic
Funding Plan can help identify which grants the
City should pursue and guide the City in
budgetary decisions.
4. Project Concept Development
Once funding sources have been identified for
priority projects, official concepts and
construction cost estimates should be
developed. These items are needed to support
grant applications and further inform
revitalization efforts. Concept plans can help the
City with budgeting for matching dollars and
determining what, if any, in-kind labor can be
done to help reduce costs.
S. Apply for Construction Grants
Once a concept plan (with a construction cost
estimate) is ready, the City of Chubbuck will be
ready to apply for a grant or multiple grants to
fund top priority construction improvements.
The most lucrative grant to apply for is an Idaho
Community Development Block Grant. Grant
applications are due the week before
Thanksgiving of each year and the maximum
grant amount is limited to $500,000.

Communication is Key
Communication is essential when embarking on
a community planning project of this magnitude
and scope. Attendees at the January workshop
expressed an interest in being informed on a
regular basis so they can be aware of ongoing
accomplishments and upcoming projects. It is
recommended that the City of Chubbuck send
out (email, mail and/or social media) a quarterly
newsletter to workshop attendees and other
interested parties. Ideally, the greater public
would also be informed through local media
outlets, social media, the City website and at
community events. Sharing this information
with the greater public could result in volunteers
and stakeholders offering valuable input into
this overall effort.
The content of the first newsletter could report
what was heard at the workshop and present
next steps (i.e. grant applications in the works,
projects currently underway, planned projects,
status of establishing a downtown revitalization
steering committee, etc.).
There is a sign -in sheet attached to the
Workshop Summary with contact information of
those who attended the workshop. It is
anticipated that some of the attendees will be
interested in serving on the Downtown
Revitalization Steering Committee.

Chubbuck Downtown Revitalization
Visioning Workshop Summary
Overview
On Monday, January 27, 2020, the City of Chubbuck convened a visioning workshop aimed at sharing
information about the upcoming downtown planning process and soliciting feedback from community
members on key aspects and ideas associated with a downtown plan. A total of 32 people attended.
Mayor England welcomed community members and explained the vision for developing a central
downtown for the City of Chubbuck, that could provide a variety of amenities for families and community
members, as well as attract and sustain businesses. City staff reviewed the recent public survey that was
conducted to gain an understanding of the communities' ideas and concerns regarding creation of a
downtown district. Feedback from that survey helped inform the Strategic Plan currently guiding
downtown planning activities. City staff also shared visuals of the new City Hall building, planned for a site
within the new downtown area; construction should begin this spring.
Team members from the consulting firm J -U -B Engineers, Inc. provided an overview of the planning
process and gave examples of recent Idaho communities that have undertaken similar efforts to revitalize
their downtowns, explaining how the designs were developed, funding secured, and projects
implemented.
Participants spent the remainder of the workshop rotating through four small breakout discussion groups,
each focused on a different aspect of a downtown plan, including themes, general design features, and
preferred types of mobility and access. Ideas collected through the small group discussions will help
inform future planning efforts.

Written comments
1. 1 would love a crosswalk from our side of the road to the other side of the side of Chubbuck so we
can encourage people from our theatre to use downtown and make it safer than Chubbuck Road
currently is.
2. Create maximum parking codes in downtown.
3. Improve connectivity TO downtown.
4. Bringing history or regional identity to downtown. If you are in downtown, do you get an idea
about what Eastern Idaho is?
5. Great event! Please do these regularly so we can continue to be involved. I appreciate that you
wanted our input. Would love an email summary from today's meeting.
6. Keep the community and citizens involved, post every step (of the process) on social media!
7. Such a great exercise! Thank you forgetting community feedback.

Low with a seat
10/14/2020 7:28 PM
Standard, medium sized with no special decoration and the Plantings in the ground, with low
10/12/2020 2:56 PM
fencing around them. I feel like these two seem very intentional in their decoration and they are
large enough and yet controlled enough to add a nice "garden of flowers" feel to the sidewalks
without feeling like they are in the way/overtaking the ground. They also look intentional as part
of the planning rather than some of the first couple which look like they were put out as an
afterthought.
Please consider planters that will not disturb or destroy the sidewalks.

I like a combination of folksy and border wall.
10/11/2020 8:46 AM
In decreasing order: Planters with low border walls, often the walls will double for seating.
10/11/2020 4:43 AM
Medium to large.; Less formal or folksy planters, often crafted by local artists and cared for by
neighbors or an adjacent business.; Medium sized planters with a more classic decoration.
Typically large enough for a small tree, shrubs, and/or other plants.
Seating and local art. There's so many ways to showcase local talent

No I didn't have a favorite one. Any planter that is used needs to zero scape and not needing 10/1/2020 10:54 PM
to be maintained. If we have to have staff water or weed that will require increased staff and
increasing city budget. That can then increase resident taxes.

10/1/2020 1:55 PM
The ones with low walls or seating. Also more modern -looking, like the middle one of the first
10/1/2020 1:35 PM
three photos.
I like the idea of having large sections of planters. Prevents people from J -walking. Also as
10/1/2020 1:14 PM
long as the sidewalks are really wide then the larger planters and trees should be used. If the
sidewalks of clear walking space is smaller than 6 feet wide then small planters should be
used.
I liked the planters in ground, and actually liked the in ground planters with low fencing more
10/1/2020 11:59 AM
than I would have expected! It may be all the beautiful tulips in one of the images that are
particularly swaying me.:)

Something concrete or stone. What I liked was that it would be less maintenance. Chubbuck
10/1/2020 8:57 AM
can't maintain what it has for plants, parks, flowers, etc. we need low maintenance. Wood
breaks. Movable breaks. Concrete would be easier and durable. Also the ones that can be sat
on I think would be a good option.

Again I'm voting for easy. Something that opens from the top so that it gets emptied. Also

looking for durable. Small slats can bend or break. Low maintenance is what chubbuck needs
as they don't have the manpower to keep up on a lot of them (I don't imagine from what we

Just one style: I think we should have just one style overall to unite the area and keep it consistent.
Essentially one style: There should be one unifying style for the entire area, with a few variations here and there.
Few styles: I'd like to have one style for the downtown area in general, and something else/unique for certain streets or
blocks.
Few Styles: I'm OK with a few different styles for different small areas or separate streets.
Multiple styles: I think there could be several different styles unique to different areas and streets.

I think different styles of planters may fit different locations better and add more character, but 10/1/2020 12:51 PM
it seems like the trash cans and benches should be pretty consistent because the downtown
area is not well defined and needs some unifying "branding."

Q21 There are many different trash receptacles and planters to choose
from and only a few are shown as examples on this survey. Is there some
other style of trash can or planter you think is a good fit for Chubbuck's

Having weather proof trash cans that are big enough to hold garbage would be best. Maybe
even let local artists design on them. I love that we have a small community and allowing our
members to show off their creations would be so cool to see!

#3. Looks like something that goes with our community.
5/29/2020 8:38 AM

#4. Like that it can accommodate signs and flowers. I like simple, yet classic. Having too many
5/29/2020 8:32 AM
intricate designs on it makes it look too over the top and old fashioned and will be difficult to
repaint. If we were an older community with historic houses many of the other lights would
work. However, we are a relatively new community with housing less than 50 years old and the
majority of housing being built in the last 20 years, so we need a more modern, classic look.

5127/2020 9:59 AM
reason is it was different from the others in style. Many of the other designs looked retro, but 4
looks modern. I think this style will not add to the light pollution issue.
10
a modern 2 light look
5/27/2020 9:38 AM
11
A banner is attached to the light pole. I believe this this feels more modern.
5!2712020 7:44 AM

#5 1 like the lighting to go downward on sidewalks. Feels safer when well lite.
5/27/2020 6:15 AM

1 love the modern feel to them. This new chubbuck downtown deserves to be different. It's new
5/27/2020 4:29 AM
so make it modern. Takes it up a class level.
14
# 13Appeared to have potential for lowering light pollution, while still retaining some classic
5/26/2020 10:53 PM
aspects of a traditional light fixture
15
5 and 12. Clean simple designs that are also unique.
5/26/2020 10:43 PM�
16
#13 - I like this because it doesn't look like a stereotypical attempt to make it look like a historic
5/26/2020 10:36 PM
downtown when Chubbuck clearly does not have that historic presence. The lines are clear,
classy, and intentional rather than ornate, historic and cumbersome.
17
Number 13. It has a familiar, traditional feel but not like it's pretending to be a historic
5/26/2020 10:34 PM
downtown.
18
#12 It feels very homey to me
5/26/2020 4:33 PM

Downcast lighting most important. Classic style next important. Clean. Not too gaudy.

14- Looks dressy and festive, but would be less maintenance (less cost) than a flower basket
5/26/2020 3:37 PM
and would look nice all year. I also like the ones that incorporate banners, and I don't mind
flower baskets, but this does imply an ongoing maintenance cost, so if we could accomplish the
same cheery look without that maintenance, that would be great!
23
1 like single lights with brackets best. #14 has a very unique style that I really like,
5/26/2020 3:11 PM

The light being directed down towards the road. Number 5.

like lights that are classic, but not too frilly and can hold flowers or banners. #3 & #11
Single lamp, opportunity for banners and/or plants #3
#3 - It looks like the planter and banners are not an afterthought. Looks put together
Has a classy look that won't go out of style. 4 and 5.
Minimalistic yet updated. Not the antiquated lights from old cities. I also like banners, but not
plants, Plants and trees would be nice in the walking path, but not on a pole, in my opinion.
Question 11
13 was my favorite. I like the clean lines and the appearance of a roof (hat) over the fixture
Number 10 - I like how modern it is.
14- Love the banners and square type lights
#6 Over all design.
#3, 7, & 11 we're all my favorites, they are sleek and modern. Each of them seem like they will
emit enough light for safety and yet, will be aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
It has style not just a pole as a hanger
Classic look. I really dislike any new age artsy looking items. A classic look is more attractive
and inviting.
#3 - I liked that there could be a flag and a flower basket on the pole. But for looks of the light
itself I liked others better.
#31 IT CAN HANDLE HANGING BASKETS AND BANNERS
Number 10, it looks modern and clean
S. It has a nostalgic feel while also being modern

It was uninspired.
8 super boring. No character.
Too modern and trendy. What is trendy now will be outdated later, #10
#8 is too plain and cheap looking. #10 looks too futuristic
#111 dislike because it looks like a yard solar light was plopped on a pole. The ratio in sizing
between the light and pole are not appealing to the eye.
Too industrial
hate the ultra modern or steampunk(ish) looks. I just don't feel like it screams "downtown
homey feel,"
8. It's gross
#8. This option looked like an afterthought not apart of the design. The rust color affected my
rating of this option. The fixture does not seem like it was built to last.
#8 would look good on a farm, but not a modern city
I prefer an industrial design, the light poles I disliked felt like a cheap futuristic design,
#13 Looks like a porch light and no option for planters and flags
How old and overused they are.
#12 Mainly disliked the color and the bowed design with the floral accent... just seemed a little
off for a functional street light...
Basically the rest. They are ugly
8 - This looks cheap, dirty, unintentional and ugly
Number 8, So plain and too small. Doesn't look like a special decorative fixture.
#10 It is so impersonal
Lighting is not downcast. Too gaudy.
Twsted and busy
Several - old looking
I don't like overly sterile or overly ornate looks.
#8 is just ugly. It would make downtown look cheap.
No need for the double lamp, takes more energy/ space and increase light pollution. Number 6
The color and how simple it is.
Pole is plain and noticeable.
I don't like the ones that are too decorative, mid -evil looking.
number 8 was the least favorite. points downward, just looks very cheap and wouldn't be
appropriate for the area.
The ones that are too industrial or look vintaged don't really fit Chubbuck in my opinion. #5 #8
#12
Ugly, no sense of design #8
thought it looked like a DIY flood light and cheap. # 8
They look very dated. 10, 11, and 12
The loop to hang it over the sidewalk. A straight pole with light on top or just to the side looms
better to me. Question 12

39

It looked like a crappy 1950s spaceship, Also anything Pocatello does we should do the exact
5/26/2020 10:04 AM
opposite.
41
#8 - I didn't see anything about it to like. The pole looked like a 4x4, but I guess it could be
5/26/2020 10:03 AM
metal. The lamp was too small, not very decorative.

Dear Planning and Zoning Staff and Commission members and City of Chubbuck Council Members,
I am writing in regards to the City's plan to create two new zoning areas. This would impact my business
at 4604 and 4563 Burley Dr. I have been made many promises by the City of Chubbuck over the last 30
years and would hope they would honor what they promised.
1- 30 years ago when we purchased this property we were told that the City wanted this area to be
for Commercial and Light industrial businesses.
2- 30 years ago we were told we could not have parking in front of our building but we must allow
access behind our building
3- 30 years ago we were required to put in city sidewalk and curb and gutter even though at that
time there was a gravel shoulder and no one else had curb gutter and sidewalk.
Now we are being told we will become what you are tailing Village Zoning.
4- Now we are being told our business would not be allowed in this zoning but can exist if we
never make any changes greater that 15%. l do not know what the 151 refers to but it says
improvements greater than 15%. So if we fix the parking lot is that 15% it is undefined.
5- Now we are being told if we make any improvements to our building greater than 15% we must
put parking in front of our building. We must also have decorative planters that jet out into the
road for the snowplows to hit and ruin.
6- Now we are being told we would have to adjust the curb gutter and sidewalk for the third time
because the city tore out our curb gutter and sidewalk when they improved the road about 8
years ago and replaced it. We are being told that if we make more than 15% change to our
business it will simply not be allowed to exist. Wait ---What????
There are currently on the l=ast side of Hurley Dr.
One Auto Body shop,
Three separate self -storage businesses and
Four single family homes.
None of which are allowed in Village Zoning,
Idaho Central has been exempted out and is allowed to continue as a Commercial Zoning on both sides
of Burley Dr.
On the West side of the street there is a construction company that stores equipment and concrete
forms, a self -storage business and a veterinary clinic that boards animals. That already exists there.
None of these would be allowed under the new Zoning.
All of these businesses have helped to clean up and build the city of Chubbuck. All of these businesses
depended on the City to stand by their word.
It is unjust and unfair to constantly move the goal post, as it were, as to how you are allowed to do
business In the City of Chubbuck.
I would suggest that just as Idaho Central was allowed to remain in the Commercial zoning that the East
side of Burley Dr. should also remain in Commercial zoning as we have been promised for many years.
I would also propose that the West Side of Burley Dr between Evans and Linden be allowed to remain in
the Commercial Zone. They are contiguous with what was promised and with what the zoning is for
Idaho Central.
This is the honorable thing to do. This is what a city does to show respect for the businesses that have
helped to build it into what It is.
Thank You
Tari and Conway Jensen

Don,
This seems like an improvement over the previous section. However, when it comes to an addition in section
4. 1 can't quite buy off on that idea.
I" a commercial appraisal adds at a minimum $5,000.00 to a project. This cost does not even guarantee the
city will accept whatever is being proposed but must be born by the business owner.
2nd I have had other dealings with planning directors. We were presented with one idea as a planning council
(I served on Bannock County Planning and Zoning) at the county but when it was put into action later the Mr.
friendly interpretation of that director that presented went away and the property owner was not allowed to
do the improvement they sought or had to do so at a much greater cost than the next guy paid. Any and I
mean any ambiguity in language and loose interpretation language that is presented can be interpreted in
many different ways. The same staff usually is not there, and the new staff has no idea of what was said
previously.
3rd I still believe it is best to leave the East side of Burley Dr alone. Let it stand as it is. The businesses already
exist. The only purpose I can see for the city to change the zoning on that side of the street is they have their
eyes on the piece of property the Parrish family sold to a developer in Idaho Falls that the city wants for their
Library. Everything else on that side of the street already exists.
41" I also believe the west side of Burley should be left as it is between Evans and Linden Streets. Idaho Central
gets to stay the same so why does everybody else have to change???
The city would not allow Alpine animal hospital to be on Chubbuck road west of BLIMPIE's. So, they forced
their hand to come over here. And now the city wants to change their zoning and control how they do
business again. Scott Harris has heavy equipment and construction trailers and tools. SafeTGard Storage is
built out and exists as a self -Storage facility. None of these businesses comply with the new zoning and have
existed here for some time. I do not think any of them plan on becoming blighted or torn down. They are all
new within the last 30 years.
Is it the city's intention that every 30 years they will threaten the very people that are trying to build this
community and that are in current compliance will have to face the threat of spending exorbitant amounts of
money to comply every 30 years to the latest city whims? Does the city not honor or respect the citizens that
comply all along the way??? Really? This is the reputation the City of Chubbuck wants to foster?

Sorry again on the 15% language from our meeting. Here is the language from the end of the Land
and Building Uses section, about non -conforming uses section and the value of an expansion. It's on
pages 15 and 16 in the document, section 4 has the stuff we were talking about.
B. Nonconforming Uses
Structures and uses currently existing at the time of this code adoption shall be allowed to remain in their
current form and function however:
1) At the time of a change to a different land use group as outlined in the table above, the new land use must
be in conformance with this chapter.
2) Rehabilitations which do not affect the external dimensions of the structure, or make changes to the
exterior of the building except for re -roofing and replacing windows, do not require compliance with the
architectural requirements of this chapter.
3) Rehabilitations which do not affect the external dimensions of the structure but that make changes to the
siding, cladding, or other non-structural fagades visible from the existing public realm, or from a planned
public realm such as a future street or
pedestrian corridor, are required to receive approval by the design review committee upon demonstrating
that the project will meet as many of the design and frontage standards from section 18.19.060 as are
feasible.
4) Lateral and/or vertical additions to existing buildings require that the addition be constructed to meet the
requirements of this chapter. If the value of the new addition will exceed the value of the existing building, as
determined by a professional appraiser, the entire building and site shall be brought into compliance with the
requirements of this Chapter.

Don

Dear Planning & Zoning staff, Mayor, and Council Member, I am writing
for my concerns for my property at 4700 Burley Dr. I have concerns
about the proposed rezoning and the impact it will or could have on my
business. My family has been running a collision repair and restoration
shop at this location for 42 years. During these years we have served
the citizens of our community and surrounding areas building lasting
relationships and a reputation as a business that delivers quality
repairs. My concerns are how will rezoning impact my ability for future
growth, the ability to sell my business when I retire and my ability to
continue doing my day-to-day business operations. I am being told that
will be allowed to keep my business at this location however if I decide
to make any improvements over a certain % it not acceptable. To me
this feels like government over -reach. We have helped build this City
and have contributed to many organizations in our community from
youth sports to various organizations and feel we're an asset to our
community. I don't understand how come the City of Chubbuck wants
to come in and change the zoning when it can and will affect the
businesses that have been in the area for so long. If it affects the ability
to continue operations and the business's ability to thrive then I'm not
interested in having my property re -zoned. I feel that when Chubbuck
changed the zoning from C3 to C2 several years back it was deceptive
because Chubbuck had this idea already for having a City Center. I was
reassured that it wouldn't affect my business negatively and I had
nothing to worry about.

Property Owners 4730, 4740, 4750 Burley Drive Chubbuck, ID
This Letter is in response to a letter we received February 28, 2022, regarding the zone changes of our
above-mentioned property from (C-2) to the proposed (V -Zone).
We Purchased this property in the Spring of 2019 with intent of using the property according to the (C-2)
requirements and have been actively using the property for our Landscaping Business.
We have not received any details at this time about the proposed (V -Zone) so we are not aware of the
impact this will have on our business or future plans.
Our long-term plans of developing the property have not been determined as we are entertaining
several different avenues.
Our short-term plans are to continue using a portion of the property for our Landscaping Business and
to also use the remaining property for RV, boat, and trailer storage. We would also like to apply for a
conditional use permit for the portion of property we intend to use for RV, Boat and trailer storage at
this time.
We would also like to request that we get more information on the details of the zone changes so we
are more informed as to how the zone changes will affect our current and future plans.
Thanks.
Mark Adolfson.
