2:23

Rodney Ashby, Planning and Zoning Director for the record.

2:27

And I'm gonna try to speak into this because the last couple of uh meetings, we haven't heard it very well on the recording, so we'll be careful here.

2:35

Um so we had uh several projects that were approved by City Council.

2:40

Uh the first one is a final plat for um excuse me, a DERA number one, and this one was for 34 single family detached units.

2:54

Uh 19 single family detached units in the RS4 zone.

2:59

The first one was RS6, and uh then 41 single family attached units in the R D zone with one commercial lot.

3:08

And uh that was all located near the southeast corner of West Flamingo Avenue and Midway Road.

3:14

And uh that was recommended by you, and then uh city council did approve that.

3:20

The next is a variance for uh setbacks uh 15 foot setback on the rear property line for an accessory structure, and um this one was also approved.

3:34

This was at uh 3707 South Edwood near the northwest section of 12th Avenue and West Locust Lane, uh and this was for a patio uh patio cover in the Greenbrier states.

3:50

Uh the next one was a vacation and uh variance and um this was a variance for uh the maximum lot size requirements, and this was the northeast corner of Boerway and s and uh stone star road, sorry, and vacation of easement and variance of setback and lot size maximum to permit approval of a property boundary adjustment.

4:18

Um what had happened is a uh shed had been built right uh overlapping the property line on their neighbor's property.

4:28

The overhang uh no the whole building uh it uh the sh a fence had been built years and years ago and in the wrong location, so then they built the shed um to be you know what they thought was their property and it overlapped onto somebody else's property and it was right up against the right-of-way.

4:50

We're not sure how the building permit was approved, but it was years ago, and so um this was a variance to just clean up the property and then be able to sell the property, and they granted that vacation and variance.

5:05

Uh the next one was the um adoption of the the CIP for fire and engineering um in the comprehensive plan.

5:17

So that comp plan amendment that you heard you had recommended approval and city council approved that, and then finally the zoning map amendment uh from RD to RS6.

5:30

That was the one where they had um two different zones on the same property, and they just wanted to make it all all one zone, and so that one was at 1423 South Elder Street, and the you recommended approval, and they did approve that.

5:46

That's all I have.

5:47

Okay, thank you, Ronnie.

5:50

I would entertain a motion to approve and adopt the consent agenda.

5:55

Second, then move by Keyhoe, second by Selman to adopt the consent agenda.

6:01

All those in favor?

6:03

I closed okay.

6:09

Consent agenda passes.

6:11

Um, we'll go ahead and move into our public hearing testimony of the meeting.

6:16

Um, just a few uh rules and things as we get started.

6:20

Um, just so everybody's aware this meeting is being recorded.

6:24

So if you could keep your whispers in the audit in the crowd to a minimum, um, those things are picked up pretty well on the recording, and if we need to listen to it later, sometimes it makes it inaudible.

6:38

So keep your voices down as much as possible.

6:42

Um when we get started, the applicant will come up first.

6:46

We'd like you to give your name and address for the record, um, and then just tell us about what you're gonna do.

6:52

They will get seven minutes uh to tell us about what they want to do with their project, um, and the staff will speak on what their findings are.

7:02

They have unlimited time, then we'll open up public testimony for anybody uh that would like to speak for, against or undecided on that item.

7:10

Each person will have three minutes to speak.

7:12

Again, when you come up to the mic, we'd ask that everyone please give your name and address for the record.

7:18

Um, and then once your three minutes is up, we could potentially ask questions of you.

7:23

Um, and then once that time is done, you are finished speaking on that specific and particular item.

7:31

Um, if you think of something after you sat down, ask your neighbor to come up and ask the question for you.

7:39

Um after the public testimony portion is done, we'll ask the applicant applicant to come back up, answer any questions that have been asked uh by the by the public and give them time to refute and answer those questions.

7:54

We'll then close public hearing and we'll deliberate amongst ourselves.

7:59

Um, maybe ask staff some questions and make a decision on each item.

8:04

So with that, we're gonna get started.

Summary of Proceedings

Nampa Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting – July 29, 2025

The Nampa Planning and Zoning Commission met on July 29, 2025, at 6:00 PM. All seven commissioners were present (Garner, Miller, Stacker, Turner, Morgan, Kirkman, Summoned). Rodney Ashby, Planning and Zoning Director, also attended. The meeting began with a roll call and approval of the consent calendar, followed by a public hearing on a conditional use permit for a non‑commercial kennel at 3004 Bannock Avenue.

Consent Calendar

The commission adopted the consent agenda, which included several projects previously approved by City Council:
- Final plat for DERA No. 1 (34 single‑family detached units, 19 single‑family detached units in RS4, 41 single‑family attached units in RD, and one commercial lot) near West Flamingo Avenue and Midway Road.
- Variance for a 15‑foot rear setback for an accessory structure (patio cover) at 3707 South Edwood.
- Vacation and variance for a property boundary adjustment and easement at the northeast corner of Boerway and Stone Star Road, resolving an encroachment of a shed over the property line.
- Adoption of the CIP for fire and engineering in the comprehensive plan.
- Zoning map amendment from RD to RS6 at 1423 South Elder Street.

Public Comments & Testimony (Conditional Use Permit – Kennel)

Applicant: David D. Sabatino (for his wife Susan Minetti) spoke in favor of the conditional use permit. He stated they have four dogs (two of which were rescued from euthanasia) and that a neighbor threatened to call animal control. He argued the dogs are well‑cared for, quiet, and never caused issues. The commission heard that the property has no code violations.
Staff Report: Rodney Ashby noted that the request is for a conditional use permit (a separate kennel license is required later). He reviewed the four criteria for approval and reported that animal control and other agencies had no concerns. Three late comments in support were received; two emails sent to the city were not received due to technical issues. Staff recommended approval with conditions that the permit apply only to the four named dogs and the current applicants.
Public Testimony:
- Stephen Mortenson (2708 Klamath Lane) opposed the permit, citing the subdivision’s CC&Rs limiting dogs to two per household. He expressed concern about precedent and the potential for similar requests to multiply, though he acknowledged the condition limiting the permit to the current dogs.
- Laura Creech (3017 Bannock) opposed the permit. She recounted a prior incident where her dog was taken from her yard, making her suspicious of the applicant’s claim that one of their dogs was found running loose. She worried the number of dogs could increase.
- Dale Kanoy (HOA president) sent an email that was read aloud (the transcript ends before the full email is read). The email expressed concern about the kennel license.

Discussion Items

The commission discussed the conditional use permit for the non‑commercial kennel. The applicant’s narrative and staff’s proposed conditions were reviewed. No further deliberation or motion is recorded in the provided transcript.

Key Outcomes

The consent calendar was approved unanimously.
The public hearing for the conditional use permit (3004 Bannock Avenue) was opened, testimony was heard, and the hearing was closed. The transcript ends before any commission deliberation or vote. The item remains under consideration; no decision is recorded in the supplied materials.
