GENERAL BUSINESS
1. Discussion on a Draft Comprehensive Plan Update.
Sheri Freemuth represented JUB Engineers and stated that following an 18 -month public
process, the City of Chubbuck had prepared "Chubbuck 2045: Comprehensive Plan" for
consideration by the Land Use and Development Commission during a public hearing in
April. The City's current Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 2002. Chubbuck's
Future Land Use and Urban Service Area maps were updated and adopted by Chubbuck
City Council in 2010. For several years the city prepared to draft a major plan update,
when funding was available, that would establish new goals, objectives and strategies
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 various health aspects in the planning process.
The geographic extent of the plan extends beyond the city limits to include an Area of
City Impact administered with Bannock County. The plan is organized into eight chapters
beginning with 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. The Future Land Use Map appears in
the Built Environment section. Chapter 8 presents an Implementation Program derived
from the plan strategies organized to provide guidance to realize community priorities.
Appendices with supporting documentation may be found at the end of the plan,
including documentation of all public outreach associated with the planning process.
ADJOURN: Mendenhall adjourned at 7:00.
