There were two variances in a vacation at City Council that uh would not have come before you.

2:19

So the variance there was a variance for a maximum lot size um to exceed 12,000 square feet on Chicago Street.

2:27

That was approved.

2:28

Um there was another variance to reduce or sorry, to um measure a landscape buffer along Highway 55 from the back of the sidewalk rather than the property line.

2:40

Um with the widening of um the highway 55, it just created a a situation where it create kind of created an unbuildable lot if they had to measure it from the property line.

So that was approved.

2:51

Um and then vacation of easement also on Carcher Road.

City of Nampa Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting - February 11, 2026

Note: The meeting transcript begins with the date February 10, 2026, but the provided timestamp indicates February 11, 2026. This summary uses the given timestamp date.

The Nampa Planning and Zoning Commission met on February 11, 2026, at 6:00 PM. The meeting included the swearing-in of a new commissioner, approval of consent agenda items, a continuance, and approval of two major items: an amended preliminary plat for Reflections Edge subdivision and a pre-annexation/pre-zoning for a commercial property. No public comments were received for either item.

Consent Calendar

  • Approved the consent agenda (motion by Garner, second by Keyhoe, all in favor).
  • The consent agenda included a report from the February 2 City Council meeting, which noted approval of a final plat for Millwood Pines subdivision, variances for maximum lot size and landscape buffer measurement, a vacation of easement, and a zoning map amendment.

Discussion Items

Item 3-1: Preliminary Plat Approval for Amended Portion of Reflections Edge Subdivision (RS4/RS6 Zoning)

  • Applicant: Scott Curtis, KB Homes, with representatives from Kimley Horn (Wendy Shreve, Nicolet Wilmat).
  • Project: Amendment to the preliminary plat for phases 5-7 of Reflections Edge, located near Happy Valley Road and Bigwood River Drive. The amendment reduces the number of residential lots by 14 (from 160 to 146), increases common lots by 2 (to 24), and adjusts the layout to accommodate wetlands along Indian Creek. The project includes a pedestrian crossing over Indian Creek, coordinated with the neighboring Chisholm Estates development, with a cost-sharing agreement.
  • Staff Report (Candice Fry): The 52.30-acre site provides 8.90 acres of qualified open space (17%, exceeding the 15% minimum). Department comments addressed engineering, fire access, code compliance violations (weeds/Dupree), and a request from Parks and Rec for 20 feet along Indian Creek for a pathway. No public comments were received. Recommended conditions included a modified condition #9 regarding the crossing.
  • Commissioner Discussion: Questions focused on the removal of previous commercial areas near the creek (explained as not part of this plat) and the pedestrian crossing commitment.
  • Outcome: Motion to approve with recommended conditions and findings, including the modified condition #9. Motion by Daffer, second by Garner, carried unanimously.

Item 3-2: Pre-Annexation and Pre-Zoning to BC (Community Business) Zoning District at 0 Highway 2026

  • Applicant: Jeff Hatch, Hatch Design Architecture, representing Moxie Investments LLC.
  • Project: Pre-annexation of a 1.84-acre lot at the northwest corner of Highway 2026 and N. Franklin Boulevard. The applicant plans a 22,000-square-foot building for a screen-printing shop serving the agricultural industry, plus a caretaker dwelling within the building. The site will use a septic system and well until city utilities become available. The development agreement includes conditions to follow Nampa's BC zoning codes.
  • Staff Report (Doug Critschfield): The property is located about 0.5 miles from current city limits, within the impact area. The comprehensive plan designates the area as commercial and agribusiness. Printing/publishing is a permitted use in BC zoning. Correspondence from Highway District #4 addressed access concerns; the applicant will work with ITD and the highway district. No public comments were received. Staff recommended approval based on four criteria.
  • Commissioner Discussion: Questions addressed the nature of the caretaker unit (for owner/operator housing) and whether the agribusiness designation would protect the use upon future annexation. Staff confirmed the pre-annexation agreement locks in the use.
  • Outcome: Motion to recommend approval of the pre-annexation, rezoning to BC, and development agreement with all proposed conditions and findings. Motion by Garner, second by Turner, carried unanimously.

Key Outcomes

  • Item 3-3 (Sagewood Subdivision): Continuance to March 10, 2026, approved (motion by Copeland, second by Garner, all in favor).
  • Item 3-1: Approved (motion by Daffer, second by Garner, carried).
  • Item 3-2: Approved (motion by Garner, second by Turner, carried).
  • The meeting adjourned at an unspecified time (motion by Copeland, second by Morgan, carried).

New Commissioner

  • Helmut Fien was welcomed as a new commission member, appointed to the seat representing the impact zone outside city limits.
