Re: Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan
Public Hearing and Pecommendation to CityCouncil
BACKGROU N D
Chubbuck's Comprehensive Plan "Our Valley Our Vision" has served the City welI since its adoption in
January 2002. It contains an incredible amount of relevant and much needed goals and policies even
20 years after it was adopted. At that time, the City population was 9,763 (2000 Census). There was
no development east of Mountlake Street/Mountain Park Rd, and western limits of development were
Independence Ave and Ponderosa St.
Much has changed since that time. The US Census Bureau's most recent estimate of the City population
was 15,900 in 2023, an increase of 63% since 2000. In response the City has prepared to draft a major
plan update, when funding was available, that would reaffirm and establish new goals, objectives,
strategies, and policies into the year 2045.
In 2023 the City budget included funds for updating the plan, and the City was awarded a grant from the
Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health to support including Social Determinants of Health in the
planning process. Anumber of these are addressed in the draft plan.

Environment
As shown in the chart on the previous page, there are several determinants that can be addressed
directly or indirectly in a comprehensive plan, especially those listed under Neighborhood and Physical
Environment. I¢Fand other entities have determined that factors listed in the chart influence the outputs
of Health and Well -Being:
• Mortality
• Morbidity
• Life expectancy
• Health care expenditures
• Health status, and
• Functional limitations
Following an 18 -month public process, with .�U-B Engineers consulting, "Chubbuck 2045:
Comprehensive Plan" was prepared for consideration bythe Land Use and Development Commission.
OVERVIEW
The geographic extent of the plan extends beyond the city limits to include an Area of City Impact
administered with Bannock County. Per recent statutes the Ara of City Impact will be updated later
this year and everyfive years thereafter.
The plan is organized into eight chapters beginningwith an introductory chapter summarizing the
purpose of the plan, the preparation process, and the plan contents. Chapter 2 introduces the reader
to the City of Chubbuck, its setting, history, and demographics. ,•; ,
Chapters 3 through 7 include numerous plan components, as required
by Idaho Code Section 67-6508: Natural Environment, Built
Environment, Public Services and Quality of Life. The Community
Health discussion appears in the Quality of Life section of Healthy
Connections. The Future Land Use Map appears in the Built
Environment section of Livable Spaces.
Figure 1 —Transportation on page 15 is being updated to
correlate better with the existing Functional Class Road System
map. It will be presented at the public hearing.
• Other maps in these Chapters have an error on the placement of
the UPRR—each will be corrected in the final document.
Chapter 8 presents an Implementation Program derived from the plan
strategies organized to provide guidance to realize community priorities.

• The chapter ends with a Community Scorecard to be updated annually to determine
effectiveness in implementation, efficient development, the general health of the city, etc.
Appendices with supporting documentation may be found at the end of the plan, including
documentation of all public outreach associated with the planning process and the data report "City
of Chubbuck 2024: Existing Conditions Report."
• Input to the Community Scorecard can be used to update the existing conditions report from time
to time.
