To: Honorable Mayor and Chubbuck City Council
From: Don Matson, Planning Services Manager
Date: May 4, 2022
Re: A petition by the City of Chubbuck to create a new Chapter 18.19 Chubbuck Village and two new
land use districts, Highway Corridor (HC) and Village (V); to change the Land Use District (zone)
from General Commercial (C-2) to a new district, Highway Corridor (HC), on approximately 17
acres of land comprising several parcels with Chubbuck Road at the north, Yellowstone Avenue
at the west, Interstate 86 at the south, and east from Yellowstone Avenue approximately 250 feet
to the eastern boundary line of each parcel bordering the east side of Yellowstone Avenue,
including parcels on the north side of E Burnside Avenue; and to change the Land Use District
(zone) from General Commercial (C-2) and Limited Residential (R-2) to a new district, Village (V),
on approximately 53 acres of land comprising multiple parcels with Chubbuck Road at the north,
Yellowstone Avenue at the west, Interstate 86 at the south, Central Way at the east, Evans Lane
and the southern boundary of the property located at 5432 Burley Drive at the south, and the
Union Pacific Railroad at the east, excluding parcels as described above to be included in the
Highway Corridor (HC) zone; setting forth the purpose and intent, special provisions and
relations to other chapters of city code, and a regulating plan for the two districts; establishing
special standards within the two districts for streets and right-of-way, building design and
sidewalk frontage, land and building uses, landscaping, parking, and signage; amending Chapter
18.06 Definitions, adding definitions of form -based zoning and traditional Euclidian zoning;
amending Chapter 18.08 Land Use Districts and General Controls with clarifications of
relationship to different General Controls in Chapter 18.18 Chubbuck Village, Chapter 18.20
Planned Unit Developments, and Chapter 18.21 Creative Communities. The Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map currently designates the area for Commercial or Employment uses, and is
under consideration to change to a new area, Chubbuck Village, per draft chapter 16 of the
Comprehensive Plan. The application will be reviewed against criteria in section 18.28.050.B.8 of
city code. (Action Item)
BACKGROUND
Form -Based Codes. The Land Use and Development Commission (LUDC) held several discussions on the draft
form -based code for the Chubbuck Village area from October 2021 through February, 2022, and staff met with
the City Council on February 2, 2022 for a review. The LUDC held public hearings on March 8, 2022 and April 12,
2022 and recommended the attached draft of a form -based code (FBC) for Chubbuck Village. A FBC focuses on
the environment it creates, particularly for pedestrians, with standards for how the buildings relate to the sidewalk
and street.
The proposed Chubbuck Village Criteria includes lower parking mandates than the rest of the city, encouraging
shared parking arrangements and on -street parking. On -street parking helps maintain the safety of pedestrians
with greater distance from travel lanes and often slows traffic on the street as well. Chubbuck Village Criteria
standards also require wider sidewalks and street trees.
Traditional zoning practices focus on where individual land uses are located and what is limited, separated, or
isolated from others. The zoning will usually mandate buildings are away from the street by a minimum distance
instead of a maximum. This usually results in parking lots between the building entrance and the street and
pedestrians are ignored, even without a requirement to keep sidewalks away from automobile travel lanes.
SOME KEY DIFFERENCES
Proposed Code Structure. A few topics in current city code are not covered in the draft Chubbuck Village Criteria,
such as wireless communications and supplemental controls. In these cases the current code applies.
Sections with a different structure:
Current city code and draft Title 18.19 have other sections covering the same topics, but they are quite
different in structure and implementation. Half of the Chubbuck Village Criteria sections have tables to list
various requirements in the two zones, rather than lengthy texts.
• Application and approval procedures, but with a checklist of standards.
• Public street types, widths, etc., with wider sidewalks, on -street parking, street trees, bike facilities.
• Landscaping standards are included, modified to fit smaller setbacks.
Sections with significant differences from existing code:
Probably the three most different sections in the proposed Chubbuck Village Criteria are
• Basic building frontage design standards and placement closer to sidewalk to improve the pedestrian
atmosphere. This is a new section - frontage and presentation issues are not represented in city code.
Land and building uses are treated differently in several cases.
o The Criteria includes permitted, conditionally permitted, or not permitted, and by
combining groups of uses the table is shorter than in current code.
Mixed uses are encouraged, without conditional use permits, and overall fewer of the uses
identified require conditional use permits.
Non -conforming businesses and other land uses are allowed to expand or add signs. (See
discussion below.)
Parking requirements are reduced in all categories, and on street parking is allowed to be considered
part of the required off-street parking.
Sign Standards are generally not included in Title 18: Land Use, but there are some standards in Title
15: Buildings and Construction. The Chubbuck Village Criteria includes sign standards for the Highway
Corridor and Village zones.

Non -conforming Land Uses. Some businesses, land uses, and buildings are considered legal non -conforming
uses per the zone where they are located, usually because the zoning map or code was changed after it was built
or occupied. They are defined in code section 18.09.200 as "A use which complied with all existing laws at the
time... [it was built] but does not conform to the [current] regulations..."
Definitions and conditions in current code and in the Chubbuck Village Criteria:
If an existing business is a conditionally permitted land use in its location after a change to a new zoning
district, it is not considered non -conforming, see section 18.24.070. However, modifications or amendments
to an approved/existing conditional use follow the same requirements as new conditional use with an
application, public hearing, etc., see section 18.28.020.D. Building repairs and rehabilitation are allowed.
Current city code regarding non -conforming uses:
Non -conforming uses cannot expand under current city code. Section 18.24.010 "...permits nonconforming
uses to continue until they are removed, but does not encourage them to be perpetuated. It is further the
intent of this chapter that nonconforming uses shall not be enlarged upon, expanded or extended..." New
signs for the business are also not permitted.
Draft Chubbuck Village Criteria:
In contrast, the draft Chubbuck Village Criteria allows non -conforming uses to not only continue, but does
allow them to be enlarged, expanded, or extended if certain conditions are met with the extension and/or
external design of the building.
See the table below for a comparison between current code and the draft criteria for non -conforming uses.

FACTS
PETITIONER:
City of Chubbuck
Attn: Community Services Department
290 E Linden Avenue
Chubbuck, ID 83202
(208) 237-2430
APPLICABLE LAWS AND PLANS:
Chubbuck Comprehensive Plan (as amended)
2. Chubbuck City Code
• Notices of the hearing provided in accordance with City Code Chapter 18.28.010.B.
• Standards for approving a title text or map amendment per City Code Chapter 18.28.050.B.8.
3. Because the proposal covers a large area this is a legislative action, not quasi-judicial.
STANDARDS FOR APPROVING A TITLE TEXT AMENDMENT
The Land Use & Development Commission held two public hearings and unanimously recommended
approval by the City Council based on three criteria for proposed text amendments in City Code:
A. The proposed text amendment would be in the community's best interest.
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.
Based on input from the surveys, the City Council approved a strategic plan with the following
action items:
• Create a downtown plan for all ages and abilities.

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.
The city also conducted a facility needs assessment for a new City Hall, and the conclusion was to
locate in the area to become known as Chubbuck Village. Community engagement for the
atmosphere of the area, via a steering committee and additional online surveys that reached several
hundred people, also endorsed the creation of a plan and codes for Chubbuck Village.
B. The proposed text amendment is consistent with the existing provisions of the zoning
ordinance.
The purpose and scope of the zoning ordinance include:
• "Organizing uses to encourage growth consistent with a comprehensive plan."
❖ While the proposed ordinance is in general compliance with and supports the current
Comprehensive Plan, it is written specifically to implement the proposed amendment to the
plan, Chapter 16: Chubbuck Village Specific Plan.
"Enhancing the aesthetic qualities of the community in the context of sound planning
considerations."
e• The draft ordinance includes unique aesthetic requirements with feasible design standards
for properties developing in the new districts.
Governing "the use of land, for economic activities and for other purposes."
❖ The proposed land use districts allow a broad range of commercial enterprises with fewer
restrictions such as requiring conditional use permits on many uses. The outcomes are more
predictable for a potential developer with building and other standards that are not open to
public debate.
C. The proposed text amendment is generally not in conflict with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the adopted Plan and furthers them more than the adopted zoning text.
Staff has identified the following goals, objectives, and policies as potentially applying to this
proposal; decision makers should evaluate the following summaries and determine if they are
applicable to the proposal and if others can be identified from the Plan. Summaries of goals,
objectives, and policies may not be verbatim.

Draft Chubbuck City Code
Title 18.19: Chubbuck Village Criteria
Recommended by the Land Use and
Development Commission April 12, 2022
18.19.010: PURPOSE AND INTENT
A. Purpose. The Highway Corridor (HC) and Village (V) zones are established to implement the City of Chubbuck
Comprehensive Plan Chapter 16: Chubbuck Village Specific Plan for the urban gathering place in the City of
Chubbuck.
1. This chapter focuses on the pedestrian environment within a mix of compatible land uses, rather than
traditional zoning which often neglects pedestrian safety and disconnects people and businesses from
one another.
2. Together the zones are a form -based code (FBC) regulating first how building placement and basic
design features relate to the street and improve the pedestrian environment, with less emphasis on land
use restriction and separation.
3. FBC standards produce more predictable results in the building and redevelopment of properties and
the desired physical form described in the Chubbuck Village Specific Plan for Chubbuck.
B. Intent. The intent of the zones is to further the policies of the Chubbuck Village Specific Plan to a greater
extent than would a traditional Euclidean zone to:
1. Promote the public health, safety, and welfare;
2. Create functionally integrated developments that allow for a more efficient and cost-effective provision
of public services;
3. Promote decreased suburban sprawl, under -developed sites, and agricultural land development on the
ex -urban fringe;
4. Promote increased community interactions via development standards which emphasize pedestrian and
bicycle modalities;
5. Encourage a variety of housing types and affordability that accommodate residents' needs through
different stages of life;
6. Establish reasonable design standards for development and redevelopment within the zone to ensure
that the built environment is sustainably desirable and stable, that property values are stable and
maintained, and to enhance the image of the City of Chubbuck; and
7. Establish standards that allow for additional creativity in promoting and providing sites and structures
that accommodate multiple land uses.
Attachment A: Draft Title 18.19: Chubbuck Village Criteria Page I
18.19.020: ENUMERATION OF DISTRICTS
A. Highway Corridor (HC) Zone. The purpose of this district is to provide an enhanced location for a broad variety
of businesses with highway frontage serving local and regional markets. The district includes standards based on
design and functions of buildings, site layouts, and landscaping with less emphasis on land uses per parcel.
Standards include city street requirements for the Chubbuck Village area creating commonalities shared
between the Highway Corridor and Village zones.
B. Village (V) Zone. The purpose of this district is to provide a mixed-use environment that serves as an urban
meeting space focused on pedestrian activity. The district includes standards based on design and functions of
buildings, site layouts, and landscaping with less emphasis on land uses per parcel. Commercial, civic, and
medium to high density residential uses are allowed throughout the district. Standards include street
requirements for the Chubbuck Village area creating commonalities shared between the Village and Highway
Corridor zones.
18.19.030: SPECIAL PROVISIONS
A. Relationship to Other Land Use Controls: Wherever there is a difference between provisions of this chapter
and those of other chapters, the provisions of this chapter shall control. Unless otherwise authorized, subjects
not governed by this chapter shall be governed by the respective provisions found elsewhere in this Code.
B. Pedestrian Realm: To achieve an overall walkable environment, appropriate land uses, pedestrian
connections, cross easements, common driveways, consistent site standards, etc., must be coordinated within
the Highway Corridor (HC) and Village (V) zones, even though properties may be individually owned.
C. Stormwater Retention: Stormwater in the Highway Corridor (HC) and Village (V) zones shall be retained and
treated below ground via infiltrators in accordance with the Portneuf Valley Stormwater Design Manual.
D. Zoning District designations within Chubbuck Village shall be in accordance with the Chubbuck Village Future
Land Use Map and the Plan District -Zone District Conversion table found in the Chubbuck Village Specific Plan,
Goal 3, Policies A and B.
18.19.040: REGULATING PLAN
Building permit applications, platting and Conditional Use Permits (if applicable) must be preceded by the
appropriate technical and design approvals.
A. Technical Review: The City Design Review Committee or an established Chubbuck Village Review Committee
will review technical details as outlined in Chapter 18.16: Design Overlay District and Criteria of this Title. The
Committee will review and relay technical details of the project as they relate to this or other titles of City code.
In cases where a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required, design review approval must precede the CUP
application, and does not constitute approval of the land use or project. The Land Use and Development
Commission (LUDC) may attach more stringent requirements upon a CUP than the Design Review Committee.
B. Standards Review: Staff will provide and maintain application forms and checklists to assist the property
developer in complying with the architectural, landscaping, signage, parking, site development, and other
components specific to this chapter, and as they relate to each subdistrict within the Highway Corridor (HC) and
Village (V) zones.
C. Regulating Plan Progression:
1. Developer may meet with Staff at any time for feedback on a potential project.
2. Technical Review through the Design Review Committee.
a. If required by the Highway Corridor (HC) or Village (V) zones Land and Building Uses regulations
in Section 18.19.070: Land and Building Uses, or by the Design Review Committee, a CUP must
be approved by the LUDC for the project to proceed.
3. Staff review of project per Zone standards, including checklists for compliance.
4. When approved, project proceeds to Building Permit and other permit applications.

Attachment A: Draft Title 18.19: Chubbuck Village Criteria Page 4
18.19.060: DESIGN AND FRONTAGE
A. These standards focus on form and function of the public realm to a greater extent than traditional zoning
which aims primarily to separate land uses. It is not the intent of this ordinance to restrict creative building and
site designs. The architectural standards reflect the need to create buildings that enhance the public realm,
which are compatible with surrounding (current and planned) structures and spaces, and that create an
appealing visual interest without being overly prescriptive.
Of particular interest is ground -level architecture and design that pedestrians and others visiting the Chubbuck
Village area find the streets and pedestrian corridors interesting and engaging, factors which encourage walking,
particularly in the Village Zone. This can be accomplished through elements such as store front windows with
retail displays, outdoor dining areas, courtyards, art displays, horizontal expression lines, and placing restrictions
on unbroken fagade appearances, etc. Table 19.1: Design and Frontage Standards lists standards for the two
Chubbuck Village zones.

meet the design standards of this chapter.
If the value of the new addition will exceed the value of the existing building, as determined by a
professional appraiser, county assessor, or other party as accepted by the applicant and design review
committee, the entire building shall be brought into compliance with the various design standards of
this Chapter. The building owner must present plans for approval by the design review committee
demonstrating that the facades of the existing building will meet as many of the design and frontage
standards of this chapter as are feasible.
4) Additions to existing structures or expansion of businesses on parcels abutting the railroad right-of-way
are exempt from the design and frontage standards of this chapter if they are not clearly visible from the
adjacent sidewalk on Burley Dr. Alternatively, if such an addition or expansion would otherwise be
visible from the adjacent sidewalk, improvements to the property frontage that enhance the pedestrian
atmosphere and/or meet design and frontage standards of this chapter may be approved by the design
review committee.

18.19.070: LAND AND BUILDING USES
A. Pedestrian Emphasis. The Highway Corridor and Village zones place more emphasis on the pedestrian
experience through the placement and height of buildings to frame the street, and enhanced sidewalks,
walkways, and landscaping. The buildings that line the street are less restricted in their use than traditional
zoning, creating a more interesting and livable atmosphere. See Table 19.2: Land and Building Uses for specifics
on land and building uses that are permitted, conditionally permitted, not allowed, or have limitations.

18.19.080: LANDSCAPING STANDARDS
A. The following standards for landscaping in the Highway Corridor and Village zones provide for healthy
and aesthetic landscaped frontage areas to carry the pedestrian experience and attractiveness beyond the
street (see Table 19.3: Landscaped Area Requirements Outside Public Right -of -Way). Improvements listed
below will shade larger expanses of pavement and reduce heat island effect. They are also designed to
improve the aesthetics and environment within parking areas, and to decrease the visual impact of
vehicular areas (and undeveloped areas) from sidewalk and street.
B. Standards apply to:
1. All new development;
2. Physical changes and improvements to vehicular areas (such as expansion, new driveway, or new
landscape beds (excluding maintenance such as resurfacing or restriping). In such cases the landscaping
standards take precedence over parking space requirements; and
3. Alteration to an existing principle building that results in an increase of >25% gross floor area.

18.19.090: PARKING STANDARDS
A. Parking Standards for Highway Corridor and Village zones are designed to ensure appropriate levels of
parking, loading, etc. for a variety of uses (see Table 19.4: Parking Area Standards). The standards provide
flexibility for small site development and maximize on -street and shared parking. These measures will help
reduce fragmented single -purposed parking, and provide the ability to, and promote, park -once and enjoy
Village streets on foot or by bicycle. Standards apply to:
1. All new construction of primary or accessory buildings, or expansion <25%.
2. New or reconstructed parking facilities, including driveways and loading areas.
3. Improvements to existing vehicular areas, including enlargement or reconfiguration.
4. Demolition or destruction of main building on site.
B. General Regulations:
1. Parking spaces and drive aisle standards:
a. Standard spaces must be at least 9' wide and 18' long.
b. Parallel parking spaces must be at least 8' wide and 20' long.
c. Drive aisles must be at least 20' wide. Exceptions for 1 -way drive aisle width may be granted
between rows of angled, parallel, or mixed angled/parallel parking.
2. Office/professional is based on net leasable floor space — common areas, restrooms, etc., are excluded if
the building/site includes a mixture of nonresidential uses the combined total of required spaces may be
reduced to 75%.
3. No off-street parking allowed in front of main building.
4. As with requirements for automobile parking, secure bicycle parking shall also be provided.

C. Parking Requirements: The standards in Table 19.5: Auto and Bicycle Parking Requirements, below, are
reduced from requirements in other areas of the city, are intended to decrease chances that the Chubbuck
Village area will be "over -parked," and the amount of land consumed by parking rather than active land uses
and buildings.
1. Sites with permanent or long-term shared parking agreements are eligible for reduced parking
requirements. Off-site non-residential parking is permitted per the following site standards:
a. Must be within 800 feet and not across Yellowstone Avenue from site.
b. Must be subject of long-term lease approval or permanently dedicated.
2. On -street parking stalls adjacent to a property may be included in the non-residential parking spaces
requirement. One third of on -street parking stalls within three hundred feet (300') of a public building
entrance (door or courtyard) or employee entrance may also be included in the parking requirement.
3. 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 in a common
parking area or garage in or near the district.
4. As with other areas of the city, the Chubbuck City Council may consider deviations in parking
requirements on a project -by -project basis.

18.19.100 SIGNAGE STANDARDS
A. Purpose: Signage Standards for the Highway Corridor and Village Zones strengthen the economic and
aesthetic appeal of the area through elevating sign standards and regulations. The visual quality, appropriate
scale, and effective display of signs contribute to the identity, brand, and atmosphere of zones. Specifically:
1. Provide the public, property owners, and businesses an opportunity for safe and effective means of
communication, reducing visual distractions and obstructive views from potentially creating safety
hazards for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists.
2. Coordinate the location and type of signage with existing and proposed street frontage landscaping
in a manner that that contributes to the character and economic health of the zones and individual
projects and investments, and enhances the aesthetic quality of the area.
3. Provide clear and understandable regulations that enable the fair and consistent enforcement of
these standards.
B. General Standards and Requirements:
1. New or Reconstructed Signs. All new signs and structural improvements to existing signs shall comply
with these regulations.
2. Change in Use for Single Business Signage. For signage serving one business, whenever the existing use
is changed to a new use requiring any change of signage content or face, the new sign, face, and content
shall comply with these regulations.
3. Sign area. The sign area shall be measured from the outside edge of the sign face.
a. The area of a sign consisting of two sides shall be computed by adding together the total area(s)
of both sides.
b. The total area of a sign with more than two faces shall be calculated using the area of the largest
2 faces.
c. The total area of a 3-dimensional sign structure shall be calculated by measuring the profile of
the sign as 1 side and doubling the figure to calculate the total area.
d. See table for specific requirements.
4. Prohibited signs. The following sign types are prohibited in the Highway Corridor and Village Zones:
a. Off -premise signs.
b. External Temporary signs other than A-Frame/Sandwich Board signs.
c. Signs with moving, spinning, animated, or flashing parts, including wind -driven signs and running
lights.
d. Electronic message displays, electronic reader boards, and video displays.
e. Inflated or balloon signs.
f. Billboards are prohibited throughout the city.
C. Signs Requirements by Type and Zone: Various sign types and sizes are allowed in the Highway Corridor and
Village Zones, depending on the zone and building facade (see Table 19.6: Sign Standards by Type and Zone).

18.06.420: Zoning„ Form -Based: A form of zoning focusing less on land uses and classifications,
instead regulating the design of the site, building, and mass of the structures. The goal of form -
based codes is to create or preserve the character of the district by regulating design of the site,
building, and mass of the structures, and foster an exceptional pedestrian environment among a
mixture of land and building uses.
18.60.430: Zoning, Traditional Euclidian Zoning: Traditional or Euclidian Zoningis s a system of
land use controls through use classifications and basic development standards such as height,
setbacks, and density. Each parcel is placed within a district or zone that is differentiated with a
list of land uses allowed or not allowed. Typically, one singular use is allowed per parcel and the
code separates uses in different districts from each other.

April 25, 2022
Dear City Council,
I am writing in regards to the public hearing scheduled for May 4, 2022. 1 want to thank you for letting
me speak and for your time serving the City of Chubbuck.
I would like to address the proposed change and creation of the Village draft ordinance.
I will address three issues.
1. Why are we here?
2. Where did we come from?
3. Where are we going?
First, why are we here?
Well in 1992 the CDA was formed to deal with Urban Renewal in the Chubbuck area. Since that time the
city has worked towards beatifying and cleaning up blighted properties. The original documents stated
that the CDA was primarily to work with Industrial, Commercial and Retail areas. My husband and I built
SafeTGard Storage at about that same time and because it was in an area that the City of Chubbuck had
identified as wanting to move toward an industrial / commercial area of town and had identified that
the railroad tracks would work well with industrial we were given a conditional use permit. Over the
course of the next 30 years this is what has transpired on the East side of Burley Dr and also where
Idaho Central Credit Union is and between Lindon and Evans lane on Burley Dr. In fact, I think the Idaho
Central Credit Union property was some of the first money spent through the CDA to begin the process.
I like nothing better than pulling off the freeway to come to work and seeing how nice the Idaho Central
Credit Union property is taken care of. I have always tried to take good care of my property, to use the
holidays to decorate with ribbons, wreaths outdoor displays and flowers and a bench out front for
people to sit on and to maintain my property. We later acquired the property across the street on
Burley Dr. and expanded there. We have tried to keep the same tidy and well -kept standards for that
side of the street. I even sweep the street on occasions to keep the blighted look away from my
property. I applaud the CDA and the City for recognizing that as an important feature to our City. Even
though I do not always agree with the method I agree with the idea.
Second, where did we come from?
The City of Chubbuck was barely a Berg when it first began. In fact, my Great Uncle, Bob Hillman, ran
and owned the Green Triangle restaurant and Bar and a few race horses for many years and then his son
and grandson ran it after he retired. I was told he was a mayor of the City of Chubbuck at one time.
John Contant and his wife Alice were good friends of my Aunt Colleen Gregory and later of my mother
Marilyn Henson. I have been a supporter of Chubbuck for many years. My son , Nickelas Jensen wrote a
letter to the editor of the Idaho State Journal when he was about 8 years old about how he thought
Chubbuck was a better town than Pocatello and Chubbuck should annex Pocatello. My husbands father
Lionel Jensen had a Texaco station on the corner of Chubbuck and Yellowstone. My husband and I lived
for many years in Chubbuck City. My husband and Son have been instrumental in building many homes
, apartment complexes and developing subdivisions in Chubbuck. They have remodeled light
commercial buildings for doctors and other businesses in this area. All three of us have all been the
AttachmentE:Public Comments Received
President of the Building Contractors of SEI at one time or another and have promoted affordable and
some not so affordable but always beautiful properties in the area. We have seen many planning and
zoning directors and many building department officials come and go. Ray Griffin was one of our most
favorite. He would explain if something was wrong and what needed to be done to rectify it. He would
also dig deep to find ways to make things work. He was kind, non -judgmental , helpful but strict. All
planning and zoning directors have their unique personalities and all have had a different vision for the
city than the last one. I personally remember Steve Smart, then I think Rodney Birch and now Devin
Hillam maybe there were others in between but I don't remember. Consequently, the rules are
constantly changing. This leads me into the third part of my letter.
Third, Where are we going?
When Steve Smart was the planning director and engineer for the city he required that we put parking
behind our building and not out on the street. So we pulled our building closer to the street and put
parking behind. Over time and especially as we see the traffic increase on Burley Drive we have seen
great wisdom in that. People that choose to park on the street will tell you it is difficult to get out of
your car and onto the road especially when ICCU is coming or going to work. One of the issues I would
like to address is the safety of the citizens of Chubbuck and the new parking requirements.
The new requirements the city wants included in the Village Zoning say the City wants the
property owner to pay to install angled parking with curb cutouts and abutments, street lights
and trees, 10 foot sidewalks and grass back to the building. I cannot find in any of the
documentation that I have gotten that shows the depth of this requirement. For discussion's
sake let's say the parking space is required to have 20 feet for a car, then 8 inches for a curb
then a 10 -foot sidewalk, then a 0-10 foot grass strip before the building can be placed. That
equals 30-40 feet plus 8 inches from the street right of way. Then the owner is to dedicate an
easement to the City of Chubbuck for that area. So they are paying for 35 feet times whatever
length their street front is and then allowing the city to claim use to it.
My question is who is liable for the maintenance and care and control of that property when it is
dedicated to the city? Who is responsible for any damage such as broken concrete, trees that
die or get ran into. Light bulbs in the lights or damage to them etc? Who is responsible if
someone runs into another car in that area or worse yet a person? I believe this sort of parking
would work well on auxiliary streets but not on Burley or on Evans Lane because traffic is so high
on those streets. If you were parked there during rush hour you would have poor visibility to
back out and then even if you could see you may not be able to get out in any reasonable
amount of time. This is why I believe what Steve Smart required on Burley to be a better option.
The businesses that already exist on Burley and Evans Lane all have off street parking. McKee's
is the only business that has parallel parking where a driver has to back into oncoming traffic. I
myself have had a very difficult time doing this at their business.
In my opinion parking on these main connector streets should be placed in a way that people can
maneuver their vehicles on the private property and then exit with their car facing forward for the
safety of themselves and others.
In the spirit of walkability- I also believe on these connector streets that it would be okay to increase the
sidewalk depth to 5 feet so that it would be friendlier to walk on. Burley Dr is a narrow street and the
Attachment E. -Public Comments Received
city just replaced all sidewalks and curbs about 5 years ago so they have certainly got a lot of life left in
them and this could happen over time for existing properties. I believe it would be far safer for
Pedestrians and drivers to have off street parking and wider sidewalks rather than angled parking on
Evans and Burley Dr. It would look odd to have one property on the east side of Burley(only one piece
not built on) have angled parking and no one else. To further the discussion the same thing could be
said about Evans Lane and Burley Drive on the West Side. To have McKees on Evans stay the same, then
the property next to McKee's do the cut outs then at Scott Harris' it would go back to what it is then
clear around the corner to Linden it would remain the same past Alpine Animal hospital and the city is
the new way then the new apartments go back to traditional. What a mish mash look that would be.
Again, I say on these two connector streets of Evans and Burley the parking would be safer and better
off the street and the curbs and gutters left where they are but increase the size of the sidewalks. This
would create a more uniform look. Far less trashy. It would also be far safer for vehicles and
pedestrians. Drivers would not be trying to look backwards to back out of their parking space and worry
if a pedestrian or another driver was getting into or out of their car. It also deals with the question of
Liability in an area dedicated to the city but technically owned by the property owner. Who is
responsible the city or the property owner? Do both get sued??
In the FAQ sheet I received from the city of Chubbuck question 25 says "Why isn't the ICCU campus part
of the new zones?" and the answer is "The campus is already built in its own way and fits better with the
C-2 zone. ---"So almost half of Burley would never look like the other portion. The other half would have
only the portion between McKees and Harris's and at the end between Jacks Auto Body and the corner
property with the new look. How odd.
If the answer for ICCU is that it is already built and fits better in the C-2 zone and if the east side of
Burley is entirely built out except one parcel at this time why is it not allowed to continue to be
commercial and light industrial? The question begs to be asked why are there rules for one entitiy
different than another? Why do not the same rules apply to everyone???
Yes a city can do whatever they want. Yes there are times that things are legal but the question begs to
be ask is it ethical??? There are repercussions to having the rules be one way for some people and not
for all and then every 30 years you change the goal post and the requirement is something different.
Most buildings last about 100 years. All of the businesses that are on the East and West side of Burley
were built in the last 30 years so their lifetime has 70 to 100 years to go. Why would we change the
zoning on businesses that do not even have half their lifetime used up? Does this not fly in the face of
common sense and create an environment of distrust towards anything the city says???
I think it behooves the city in the spirit of trust and common sense and in the spirit of "Where are we
going?", that the zoning, particularly on the connector roads of Burley Drive and Evans Lane, remain
outside of the new Village Zoning area. The safety of the citizens on the city streets should be a big
concern of the people that make those decisions. To create a beautiful and unified city we need to not
be a mish mash of parking. We should not replace concrete curbs and gutters that the taxpayers paid
for a mere 5 years ago. What a huge waste of taxpayer funds. I want a beautiful city too--- but I do
think it is important we do not waste our resources and we keep our citizens safe. We need to show
respect to those that have helped build the city to this point.
Finally, I want to ask you to ask yourself the three things I said I would talk about in the beginning ---

BART PRESTWICH
PROPERTY OWNER @
4730 ,4740, 4750 BURLEY DR
CHUBBUCK, ID
THIS LETTER IS TO POINT OUT SOME OF MY CONCERNS WITH THE NEW PROPOSED
CHAPTER 18.19 CHUBBUCK VILLAGE CRITERIA.
Continuity: Because of the staggered implementation of this project, the majority of these
enhancements will never be seen in our lifetime. Only the few existing vacant properties will be
forced to comply. The remaining properties will only need to comply with the new criteria if and
when they decide to expand their business. This will lead to a very imbalanced and
disproportionate look. I am in the Landscaping business and have completed many streetscape
projects for different cities. Those projects always start with the entire street getting done at the
same time. This gives continuity with landscaping and trees are allowed to grow at the same
time, not at undetermined intervals over the next 100 yrs or more.
I would like the city to consider doing this work as a phased process, maybe even one
city block at a time so at least there is some continuity.
Unknown Costs: The city is asking the property owners to pay for all of their new
requirements. Street Widening, New curb / gutter and sidewalk, moving and or burying power
lines along Burley dr, landscaping, streetlights, and all other associated costs.
The main power lines run along the east side of Burley dr. and because of the street widening
and 10 ft sidewalk, they will be required to be buried. There are 4 poles on my property, one
new pole just installed for the new city hall building. None of this is needed for my intended use
of the property. I believe this is unfair to have to pay for all this work for the city to have their
desired look. In addition to that, all of the other power poles will remain on Burley dr. until
someone decides to expand their business adding to the non -continuity.
The current zoning does not require any of this street work to meet our business needs, it is
merely for establishing a look that the city is trying to achieve.
I would like for the city to help pay for some of these expenses.
Attachment E. -Public Comments Received
Frontage Width and build to lines: The new code requires that the front of the building to be
at the sidewalk or no more that 10 ft back, and the frontage width of the buildings to be approx.
75 percent of the width of the property. My property is about 275 ft deep so this puts a
disproportionate amount of required structures to be in the front of the property and in doing so,
limiting access to the remaining property in the back.
The new city hall does not even comply with what they are asking other business owners to do.
I am asking for some flexibility in these requirements due to the depth of my property
and my specific business needs.
In Summary, I appreciate the effort and ideas to make this a nicer
community. I am asking for some flexibilities in the new requirements and
some funding to help with street improvments in order for my business and
others to align with the city's wants and to not discourage future business
from wanting to develop here.

To: The Chubbuck City Council members and the Planning and Zoning Commision,
I bought my first piece of property in Chubbuck in 1978 at 140 Evans lane. I moved my young
family here and built the McKee's Feed Garden and Pet Center on a dead end street long
before there was a Pine Ridge Mall , Wall Mart or a line of drive in restaurants along
Yellowstone. My wife and I raised ten children and 47 foster children next to our business
teaching each one as well as many high school and college students a strong work ethic and a
love for community. Over the years we purchased land around us hoping that someday this
little village would grow and our commercial land would be valued. I bought the property
where the City of Chubbuck offices now stand and opened my first Counseling office, Center
Counseling there. Later we moved this office to the land where ICCU now stands and worked
out of two condominiums there. When ICCU expanded we moved our office to 265 Chubbuck
Road , which now employs over 50 people and services more than 10,000 clients in the
Southeastern Idaho area. Our plan is to expand into a medical plaza there. Over the years, we
also purchased the Hitchcock property, the Brown property and McDonald property, the Andra
property and the Trego property along Linden and Evans. Later we purchased the land where
the Vet Clinic now stands. At one point we owned over 13 acres of the proposed Chubbuck
Village area. Our history is strong here in Chubbuck. We love Chubbuck and have always stood
for this strong community, working to build the commercial part of it.
I request that our business Center Counseling not be a part of the new proposed Chubbuck
Village. My experience in working with the CDA has been so negative. When there was a
misunderstanding of their purchase of a portion of our property, there was no discussion, no
negotiation, no compromise. The solution was only their way with a large amount of
frustration, waste and property being hauled to the dump which could have been used for
those with no housing or even refugees coming into the area. Instead of negotiation I was met
with attorney letters and demands losing our rights to salvage the property that was originally
promised to us. The only response was Mr. Hillam saying in the planning and zoning meeting
recently, "We kept our part of the agreement." I watched four homes completely destroyed,
painted with graffiti and hauled off to the dump without a chance to even take out the
appliances from three of them. What a complete and utter waste when these homes were in a
plan to be relocated! Established trees were all cut down with no thought of relocation or use
for future businesses.
How can we trust this committee in the future? What will this new Chubbuck Village do to us
as businesses? If one thing needs discussion, will we be met with attorney letters and threats? I
am only making my judgement based on recent experience. Why are there no business leaders
who have been here for years in this proposed district involved in this plan? It appears that
decisions have been made coming in through the back door and not the front. Why have none
of us been included in these long term plans to set up this proposed Chubbuck Village? There is
also no plan in place to inform business owners about this change who own businesses and do
not own property within this proposed district. Will their voice be heard?

When the new Latter Day Saint temple was going to be built, all of the neighbor hood in its
vicinity were invited to come to a town meeting and discuss, answer questions about what to
expect with the proposed future. Everyone got their questions answered and a large number of
interfaith people in the area were on board with the plan. No major complaints. When the idea
of a town meeting for the proposed "Chubbuck Village" was brought up at the planning and
zoning meeting, the idea was completely shut down from those who were representing the
city. No businesses came forward in favor of the Chubbuck Village. Two individuals spoke with
neutrality for the Chubbuck Village. All others spoke against the proposal of the Chubbuck
Village, and yet the planning and zoning committee passed the proposal as if none of us were
listened to. It appears that this is going to happen no matter what business owners say. For us
there are still many more questions than answers of how this decision will affect each of our
businesses.
We are all working as hard as we can to maintain business and to keep our employees and
customers happy. Most of us do not have time to invest into hours and hours of research about
this proposed district. Before making a decision to define for us what we can and cannot do
with our own property will you allow all within this proposed district to better educate
themselves so that we can begin to understand exactly how this will affect us. Business is hard
enough without adding more and more restrictions.
Sincerely,
William and RaNae McKee

Attachment F. Draft Minutes of
Land Use and Development Commission
Meeting on April 12, 2022 (Excerpt)
Due to no more public comment Mendenhall closed the public hearing.
Hillam clarified that this application was an application from the City of Chubbuck
and not the Chubbuck Development Authority. The only interest that the Chubbuck
Development Authority had with this application was that it is a current land owner,
which is no different than the other property owners. Matson stated that selling an
existing business would not require the new business owner to meet the requirements for
these sections of code, unless triggered by external improvements to the existing
property. As properties develop or redevelop the property owner would be responsible to
install the required streetscapes. This code would be no different than the current
commercial zone due to the fact that the current zone also has restrictions on business
types, setbacks, building heights, etc. Mr. Matson also stated that the architectural
drawings would be reviewed to meet the standards within city code by the design review
committee. Decisions from the Design Review Committee is appealable to the City
Council. There was nothing written in the proposed codes that would force a business out
of its current location or restrict the owner from selling their business, and would still
allow a new business owner to continue doing business.
Schwartz felt like most of the business owners was opposed due to the lack of
business input and education versus the zones all together. Schwartz asked if the business
owners would be given an opportunity to express their concerns to the City Council.
Matson stated that City Staff took the comments and suggestions made during the
March 8, 2022 public hearing and implemented those into the updated application. There
would not be a public hearing scheduled with the City Council unless petitioned. Matson
also stated that this section of code is a living document that can be changed and updated
throughout the years if needed.
Attorney Lewis stated that the Land Use Board is only making a recommendation to
the City Council and not a final decision.
Schwartz wasn't sure if this application was ready for a recommendation to be sent
over to the City Council, unless the Board could recommend that some sort of property
owner engagement take place with the property owners to get their thoughts and address
their concerns on this applications.
Holm felt like City Staff had made the offer multiple times to sit down with the
individual property owners to go over this application and address their individual
concerns, but it seems had never been taken up on the offer.
Hillam gave a brief history on the application and stated that six months ago the City
Council placed a moratorium on development in this area and directed City Staff to put
together a zoning code for a downtown vision for the City.
Attachment F: Draft Minutes of
Land Use and Development Commission
Meeting on April 12, 2022 (Excerpt)
Schwartz asked legal counsel if the Board was under any type of time frame for this
application due to the moratorium. Lewis stated that the Board was not under any time
frames but was obligated to make some sort of recommendation to the City Council on
the application.
Hiltbrand asked if the City Council could have an informal meeting other than a
public hearing with the property owners to discuss this application and address some of
their concerns. City Clerk Joey Bowers stated that any meeting with the full council to
discuss city business is subject to open meeting laws.
Attorney Lewis stated that the Board needed to make a recommendation based off city
code, and could not make a recommendation that would require the City Council to hold
a public hearing on this application. Based off city code an aggrieved person could
petition the City Council to hold a public hearing on this application, at which time the
mayor would make that determination on whether or not to have a public hearing.
Mendenhall motioned to recommend approval to create a new Chapter 18.18 Chubbuck Village
and two new land use districts, Highway Corridor (HC) and Village (V); to change the Land Use
District (zone) from General Commercial (C-2) to a new district, Highway Corridor (HC), on
approximately 17 acres of land comprising several parcels with Chubbuck Road at the north,
Yellowstone Avenue at the west, Interstate 86 at the south, and east from Yellowstone Avenue
approximately 250 feet to the eastern boundary line of each parcel bordering the east side of
Yellowstone Avenue, including parcels on the north side of E Burnside Avenue; and to change
the Land Use District (zone) from General Commercial (C-2) and Limited Residential (R-2) to a
new district, Village (V), on approximately 53 acres of land comprising multiple parcels with
Chubbuck Road at the north, Yellowstone Avenue at the west, Interstate 86 at the south, Central
Way at the east, Evans Lane and the southern boundary of the property located at 5432 Burley
Drive at the south, and the Union Pacific Railroad at the east, excluding parcels as described
above to be included in the Highway Corridor (HC) zone; setting forth the purpose and intent,
special provisions and relations to other chapters of city code, and a regulating plan for the two
districts; establishing special standards within the two districts for streets and right-of-way,
building design and sidewalk frontage, land and building uses, landscaping, parking, and
signage; amending Chapter 18.06 Definitions, adding definitions of form -based zoning and
traditional Euclidian zoning; amending Chapter 18.08 Land Use Districts and General Controls
with clarifications of relationship to different General Controls in Chapter 18.18 Chubbuck
Village, Chapter 18.20 Planned Unit Developments, and Chapter 18.21 Creative Communities as
presented to City Council. Hiltbrand seconded.
With all commission members understanding the motion they voted.
Roll Call Vote: Carrie Holm, No; Darell Stewart, No; Jason Mendenhall, Yes; Brett Hiltbrand,
Yes; Mike Schwartz, No; Thais Ayre, Yes; Motion failed.
Schwartz asked legal counsel if the Board could take Mendenhall's motion and add
the recommendation that the City Council hold a public hearing. Lewis stated that the
Board could make that recommendation but the City Council was not required to hold a
Attachment F: Draft Minutes of
Land Use and Development Commission
Meeting on April 12, 2022 (Excerpt)
public hearing based off the recommendation of the Land Use Board. An aggrieved
person would still need to petition the City Council to hold a public hearing.
Stewart liked the idea of adding the recommendation for the City Council to hold a
public hearing on this application.
Holm was concerned that if they did not make the recommendation for the City
Council to hold a public hearing they would be taking that right away from the property
owners to be able to address their concerns with the City Council.
Attorney Lewis stated that the Board is not taking anybody's rights away by making a
recommendation to the City Council. An aggrieved person would still have the right to
petition the City Council to hold a public hearing, whether the Board makes that
recommendation or not. The City Council would not be obligated to follow the Board's
recommendation to hold a public hearing.
Stewart felt like the Board needed to let an aggrieved person make that decision to
petition the City Council to hold a public hearing or not.
Hiltbrand motioned to recommend approval to create a new Chapter 18.18 Chubbuck Village
and two new land use districts, Highway Corridor (HC) and Village (V); to change the Land Use
District (zone) from General Commercial (C-2) to a new district, Highway Corridor (HC), on

Attachment G: Chubbuck
Village Criteria - FAQ
Questions with Answers
Q1: What is Chubbuck Village?
A: It's the emerging "city center" or "downtown" of Chubbuck (see page 5). We're a relatively new
city compared to Pocatello, Blackfoot and others where development began with a downtown.
Q2: I answered several surveys about what I'd like to see in a future downtown for Chubbuck. Are the
survey results reflected in the new zoning?
A: Yes, but they are more expressed in the new Comprehensive Plan chapter which includes the
survey results. Several of the surveys were about public things such as benches and streetlights, and
preferred styles are planned throughout Chubbuck Village. Other items, including courtyards, wide
sidewalks, outdoor dining and walkways are addressed in the new zoning.
Q3: What's a Comprehensive Plan? Why is it important if it's not a law?
A: A comprehensive plan it a guiding document including city goals, objectives and policies about
land use, future streets, government services, transportation and economic development. Per state
law and city code the zoning ordinance must comply with the Comprehensive Plan.
Q4: How is zoning different from a plan?
A: Zoning is the city law with the details, mostly about land use and buildings, which implement the
goals, objectives and policies in the Comprehensive Plan.
Q5: Why are new zones being proposed for the area?
A: To guide future development toward the goals of the recent amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan, Chapter 16 Chubbuck Village. The Plan calls for a "form -based" zoning code that emphasizes
the creation of a pedestrian atmosphere.
Q6: Where can I read a copy of the proposed zoning code?
A: Contact Planning Manager Don Matson at dmatson@cityofchubbuck.us , visit City Hall, or call
208-239-3252. It will also be on the City Council web page (https://cityofchubbuck.us/city-council/)
by April 20tH
Q7: Who started this idea to change the plan and zoning for the area?
A: Citizens of Chubbuck opinions that were presented to the City Council. In 2017 and 2018 the city
sought broad public interest for a new strategic plan. Some of the input was that we needed a
downtown for all ages and abilities. The Council directed staff to gather public input and more
information to eventually prepare an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and to present a new
zoning chapter to implement the Plan amendment by the Spring of 2022.
Q8: Can the city change the zoning on my land even if I didn't request it?
A: Yes; both state law and City Code allow a city itself, as well as property owners, to request new
zoning to implement the city Comprehensive Plan. Changes to the Comprehensive Plan can be
requested as well.
Q9: What if I disagree with the proposed changes to zoning on my property?
A: You can send a letter or email to the mayor or city staff (see question 6 above) at least a week
before the public hearing or speak at the public hearing. Letters received on time are included in the
report that goes to the City Council. The hearing will be May 5th, so the comments need to be
received by April 26th. (https://cityofchubbuck.us/city-council/ or 290 E. Linden Avenue)

Attachment G: Chubbuck
Village Criteria - FAQ
Q10: What is a form -based code?
A: Form -based codes emphasize building appearance and placement (closer to the sidewalk) over
what the land is used for. They can also focus on the pedestrian atmosphere.
Traditional zoning is the opposite, stressing the land use first, with less emphasis on the building
placement and in most cases, nothing is said about the building appearance. The pedestrian
atmosphere is often ignored.
Q11: How are the new zones different than what is there already?
A: Most of the Chubbuck Village area is in the General Commercial (C-2) zone, and some parcels are
in the Limited Residential (R-2) zone. Zoning allow a "menu" of things that landowners are
permitted or conditionally permitted to build or to use a building for. They also have height limits
and say how far builds are supposed to be from property lines.
The new zones, Highway Corridor (HC) and Village (V) have the same basic features regarding land
use, height limits, and distance from property lines. The HC zone is like C-2 but doesn't allow
parking between the building and the street. The V zone allows both commercial and residential
uses together but requires buildings and/or entry courtyards to be up against the sidewalk.
Q12: What is a permitted use vs. a conditional use?
A: Land and building uses permitted in on the "menu" for a zone are allowed by right, no public
hearings are involved. They are reviewed by city staff for technical requirements such as such as
driveway and dumpster locations, fire lanes and landscaping standards.
Conditional uses from the zone's list may be permitted in a zone after a review by the Land Use and
Development Commission. The Commission holds a public hearing and looks at things like how the
building looks and how it will impact the neighbors. They may approve, deny, or approve it with
conditions that require changes to the design, layout and other things.
Q13: What are some advantages of the new zones? How will it be better?
A: Several things for both commercial and residential properties, including a) all businesses can
continue operating and expand, b) properties can develop or expand with new commercial or
residential uses, or both, c) a residential property can expand with things like townhomes or
apartments, or add commercial uses.
Q14:1 heard the new law/code even looks different than regular zoning law. What will it look like?
A: It is more focused on things that improve the pedestrian atmosphere and allowing a mix of land
uses, residential and commercial, including in the same building. This section of law will have more
tables and less text than the rest of the zoning code. In the future there will be a companion
document with example photos of standard features.
Q15: Will people really want to walk around in the area?
A: Yes, if they choose to. That's the goal of this change and form -based codes in general when focus
is on pedestrians, and it's proven to be better for our health. The amended Comprehensive Plan and
the new zones require features that make it walkable.
Proposed Chubbuck City Code — Title 18.19 Chubbuck Village Criteria FAQ — Page 3
Attachment G: Chubbuck
Village Criteria - FAQ
Q16: What is walkable?
A: Several things - probably the three most important are a) it's not too far to walk from one place
(home, where you parked your car, got off a bus) to things you want to do, like eat out, buy
groceries, get to a school, or relax in a park, b) the sidewalks are a pleasant place to be with some
shade trees, lighting for evening walks, and sidewalks that aren't next to travel lanes on the street
and are wide enough to walk beside the person you're with, and c) the blocks are short enough that
you can more easily walk to the places you want to go without taking a longer walk out of the way
to get there.
Q17: How does the new zoning affect my business?
A: No changes required, the same if true if you want to sell it.
Q18: What if my business isn't allowed in the new zone?
A: You're welcome to continue operating, and you can expand operations if you want to. Your
business is called a "legal non -conforming" land use. Expansions of non -conforming uses will be
allowed in the HC and V zones; however, in C-2 and R-2 zoning, and all other zones in Chubbuck, a
non -conforming use is not allowed to expand.
Q19: What does this mean for my building?
A: No changes. There are no requirements for existing buildings unless or until you expand it or
make changes, and there are no requirements for repairs such as a new roof or new windows.
Q20: What if I have a vacant commercial building or vacant space in a building?
A: Any new business will have to be included on the "menu" of land and building uses allowed in
the new zone. This is the same in all zones. You could also transform it into residential uses.
Q21: If my business doesn't fit the new zoning, what happens if I want to sell it?
A: Nothing - it can stay the same. There is no requirement to change the business operations. If the
buyer wants a different type of business license or add a different type of land use, any new things
need to comply with the new zoning.
Q22: What about a home business or accessory dwelling unit?
A: There are fewer restrictions or requirements for both in the new zones. No notifications will be
required for neighbors.
Q23: What if I disagree with the review committee decision?
A: You can appeal the decision to the City Council.
Q24: Is some sort of committee going to tell me what my building will look like?
A: Not exactly; a technical review committee will review building features against a checklist of
standards in the new code, as well as things that are already reviewed by the city, such as driveways,
dumpster locations, and fire lanes.
Design guidelines, as opposed to standards, are used in some other cities with a form -based code.
Such cities have a design committee review how a building looks per guidelines and will use their
judgement to approve or require changes to how a building looks.
Chubbuck will use standards with a checklist, which has a predictable outcome, vs. guidelines that
are interpreted by a committee.

Village Criteria - FAQ
Q25: Why isn't the ICCU campus part of the new zones?
A: The campus is already built in its own way and fits better with the C-2 zone. It is within the
Chubbuck Village area of the Comprehensive Plan partly because of where it is located. ICCU also
has a walkable atmosphere including things like walking paths that aren't next to street travel lanes.
Q26: What is the Chubbuck Development Authority? How does it come into play?
A: The Chubbuck Development Authority (CDA) assists with physical improvements in certain areas
of the city, especially streets. It can also buy properties that are for sale and target new buyers to
develop the property per a plan. It is a separate agency from the city and it owns several parcels
between Evans Lane and Linden Avenue. (https://cityofchubbuck.us/development-authority[)
Q27: Is parking going to be different? Will it be hard to find parking spaces like in some downtowns?
A: Parking will be different in several ways for visitors. Older traditional downtowns were originally
developed with no or few parking requirements, and today there is some parallel parking on streets
or parking lots where buildings have been torn down.
In Chubbuck Village new angled parking, which creates more parking spaces on the streets vs.
parallel parking, will be provided on Linden, Burley, and Evans as properties develop in the future.
Parallel parking will be provided on other streets. Parking on the street is also flexible because all
people are allowed to use it regardless of which business you are visiting.
In many cases around the city businesses were required have more parking than they need, while
parking on adjacent streets goes unused. For new business development in the new zones a) the
number of spaces required is less than the rest of the city, b) shared parking with other businesses is
encouraged and allowed without special permission, and c) businesses can include nearby street
parking spaces for some of their own requirements.
Q28: Where can I go for other questions?
A: Contact Planning Manager Don Matson at dmatson@cityofchubbuck.us, visit City Hall, or call
208-239-3252.

Comparing Existing Chubbuck City Code
And Draft Title 18.19: Chubbuck Village Criteria
Traditional zoning is focused most on land uses, but also has height limits and requirements to set buildings away
from property lines. The proposed Chubbuck Village Criteria is a form -based code (FBC), which focuses on how
a building looks and where it is located to create a better atmosphere, especially for pedestrians. Land use is less
important in a FBC than in traditional zoning — a mixture of uses is encouraged.
A FBC will also require that buildings in a town center are built next to or at the sidewalk with parking in the rear
or side, vs. traditional zoning that allows parking in the front of buildings. Below is a list of requirements in
current city zoning compared with features in the proposed Chubbuck Village criteria. It includes some
information about uses that require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
This table compares existing zones for the area, General Commercial (C-2) and Limited Residential (R-2), to the
proposed Highway Corridor (HC) and Village (V) zones. They are in order per the existing code sections in Title
