ZOA23-00001 and CPA23-00001/ City of Boise Summary The City of Boise proposes to amend Boise City Code - Title 11 (also known as the Development Code) and the associated zoning map. In addition to the proposed code text amendment, a comprehensive plan amendment is also proposed to ensure the comprehensive plan accurately reflects the new zoning districts. Prepared By Planning and Development Services Staff Recommendation Approval Reason for the Decision Code Text Amendment To successfully implement the City of Boise’s comprehensive plan and define a clear path forward that will allow our city to protect the things that make it special, a modern zoning code and new zoning map are necessary. The proposed development code will provide modern tools to implement the city’s long range planning goals and create a city for everyone by allowing people to have a choice in where the live, how they move throughout the city, where they are employed and shop, and ensure they are surrounded by safe and healthy environments. The proposed code complies with the approval criteria detailed in Boise City Code Section 11-03-04.1 (Code Amendment) and is further described in the project report. Comprehensive Plan Amendment For the comprehensive plan to effectively define the general vision for our community’s long-term future through the creation of goals, objectives, policies, and our Future Land Use Map, the language and terminology within the comprehensive plan, the development code, the zoning map, and the Local Land Use Planning Act must be consistent and support one another. The proposed comprehensive plan amendment provides that clarity and complies with the approval criteria detailed in the Boise City Code Section 11-03-04.16 (Comprehensive Plan Amendment) and is further described in the project report.
