Summary of Proceedings

Post Falls Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting - August 12, 2026

The meeting was called to order with the Pledge of Allegiance and roll call, establishing a quorum. The commission considered the Peck Peck Annexation (ANNX-26-4) for a Community Commercial Services (CCS) zoning recommendation on approximately 10.61 acres, and approved the consent calendar. No public comments were received.

Consent Calendar

  • Approved the meeting minutes from the July 14, 2026 meeting.
  • Approved the Signal Point Vista Annexation Zoning Recommendation (file number 8 and NX 263).
  • Motion and second carried unanimously via roll call.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • None.

Discussion Items

  • Peck Peck Annexation (ANNX-26-4): City Planner Ethan Porter presented the request by RP Development LLC, represented by Drake Kimball of Whipple Consulting Engineers. The property consists of three parcels totaling 10.61 acres, currently zoned Agriculture (County) and surrounded by incorporated city land. The applicant requested a CCS zoning designation, consistent with the Business Commercial future land use map designation and the Highway 41 North Focus Area.
  • The site is located at the northwest corner of Zoros Road and Hope Avenue. The applicant explained that the property was purchased by Peck & Peck Excavation, and the county notified them that a commercial business is not allowed under current agricultural zoning. Annexation into the city with CCS zoning would allow commercial use.
  • Staff and the applicant discussed compatibility with comprehensive plan goals, including infill development, eliminating county islands, and improving transportation connectivity. The applicant noted that frontage improvements on Zoros Road and Hope Avenue would be required and that Peck & Peck Excavation is already working on adjacent road construction.
  • No adverse impacts were identified. Agency comments received: Post Falls School District (neutral), Kootenai County Fire and Rescue (coordinate at development), BPA (no comments), ITD (no comments), Post Falls Highway District (in favor), and Phillips 66 (no utilities in area).

Key Outcomes

  • The commission unanimously found that the proposed CCS zoning meets the three review criteria under Post Falls Municipal Code 18.20.100: (1) consistency with the future land use map and focus area, (2) consistency with relevant comprehensive plan goals and policies, and (3) no demonstrable adverse impact.
  • Motion to recommend approval of CCS zoning for the Peck Peck Annexation (ANNX-26-4) to the City Council was made, seconded, and passed unanimously by roll call (all commissioners present voted yes).
  • Staff noted that a second public hearing may occur at the end of the fifth week in September, and the next regular meeting is scheduled for September 8, 2026.
