A. The commercial district is established to promote a range of commercial uses to serve the needs of the immediate area, surrounding rural communities and visitors without adversely affecting adjacent residential neighborhoods. The commercial district is also intended to provide opportunities for a variety of affordable housing types that are within walking distance of commercial services. Intensive large scale commercial development is not appropriate due to the limited density of surrounding unincorporated areas. Access to primary transportation routes and a system of hard surfaced roads are expected and consideration is given to the potential public transportation access. These purposes are accomplished by:
1. Providing for a wide range of small to medium scaled retail, professional, governmental and personal service uses.
2. Allowing for mixed use buildings (housing over office or retail) and a range of housing types, including cottage housing, townhouses, apartments and mobile home parks where sufficient services are provided.
3. Allowing for light industrial uses where activities are conducted primarily indoors and impacts to adjacent uses can be mitigated.
4. Excluding commercial uses with extensive outdoor storage.
5. Excluding large scale commercial uses that would be more effectively located in incorporated cities.
6. Applying simple design standards that enhance pedestrian access and improve the character of the area.
B. Use of this zone is appropriate in areas designated as neighborhood commercial, urban growth area or transition by the comprehensive plan and community plans and that are served at the time of development by adequate sewage disposal services, water supply, roads and other needed public facilities and services. Expansion of existing commercial districts or the creation of new commercial districts may be considered only if the expansion will not negatively impact the safety and function of a state highway or other roadway. (Ord. 501, 11-18-2008)
A. The industrial district is established to promote the development of areas for manufacturing, processing, fabrication and wholesale sales, research and testing operations, limited retail sales and warehousing. It is also a purpose of this zone to protect the industrial land base for industrial economic development and employment opportunities. Due to the intensity of land use, these areas require primary transportation routes, urbanlike water and sewer services, fire and police services and consideration given to the potential public transportation access. These purposes are accomplished by:
1. Providing for a wide range of industrial and manufacturing uses.
2. Establishing appropriate development standards and public review procedures for industrial activities with the greatest potential for adverse impacts.
3. Limiting residential, institutional, office and other nonindustrial uses to those that are accessory to industrial activities.
4. Allowing limited commercial uses that complement industrial activities.
B. Use of this zone is appropriate in areas designated by the comprehensive plan as transition which are served at the time of development by adequate sewage disposal services, water supply, roads and other needed public facilities and services. Expansion of existing industrial districts or the creation of new industrial districts may be considered only if the expansion will not negatively impact the safety and function of a state highway or other roadway. (Ord. 501, 11-18-2008)
C. The Planning or Zoning Commission and board of county commissioners may add specific conditions to require compatibility with surrounding uses and to assure compliance with the intent of the industrial district, this title, and the health and safety of the public. To assure conditions are met, the county shall require the execution of a written commitment concerning the use or development of the subject parcel. This commitment shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder. The commitment shall take effect on the adoption of the amendment to the zoning map. The commitment shall be binding on the owner of the parcel, each subsequent owner, and each person acquiring an interest in the parcel. A commitment may be modified following the procedures for modification provided within this title and the approval of the board. The commitment may be terminated and the zoning designation reversed on the failure of the landowner/operator to abide by the terms of the agreement, following notice to the landowner/operator by certified mail of the violations and after a reasonable time, as determined by the governing board, has been given to abate the violation. No such reversal of zoning may occur without appropriate notice and public hearing as set forth in Idaho Code and this code for zoning district amendments and proof beyond a reasonable doubt that a violation remains after attempts to abate have been exhausted. If the board reverses the zoning designation after a hearing, the board decision shall be final and further recourse shall be as provided by Idaho Code. (Ord. 551, 3-9-2016; amd. Ord. 661, 3-18-2022; Ord. 580, 10-12-2022)
A. The rural service center district is established to promote the development of local commercial services in small communities to meet the needs of rural residents as well as limited tourist commercial services and limited light industrial uses consistent with the maintenance of the rural character of the area. The rural service center district is also intended to provide opportunities for a variety of affordable housing types that are within walking distance of commercial services. These purposes are accomplished by:
1. Providing for a range of small scale retail and rural service uses.
2. Allowing for mixed use buildings (housing over office or retail) and a range of housing types, including detached single-family dwelling units, cottage housing, townhouses, apartments and mobile home parks where sufficient services are provided.
3. Allowing for light industrial uses where activities are conducted primarily indoors and impacts to adjacent uses are mitigated.
4. Excluding commercial uses with extensive outdoor storage.
5. Excluding large scale commercial uses that would be more effectively located in incorporated cities.
6. Applying simple design standards that enhance pedestrian access and improve the character of the area. (Ord. 501, 11-18-2008)
B. Use of this zone is appropriate in areas designated as neighborhood commercial, resort community or transition by the comprehensive plan and community plans and that are served at the time of development by adequate sewage disposal services, water supply, roads and other needed public facilities and services. Expansion of existing rural service center districts or the creation of new rural service center districts may be considered only if the expansion will not negatively impact the safety and function of a state highway or other roadway. (Ord. 512, 1-6-2010)
A. The recreation district is established to provide a wide range of recreational uses in areas where if access is by road rather than solely by waterways, the road shall be located within a recorded easement or public right of way, except where subject to the terms of an approved special use permit or a state or federal agency, adequate water and sewer services and fire services. Consideration shall also be given to access to potential public transportation systems. The recreation district is intended to provide for a range of housing types and uses that are accessory and complementary to recreational and residential uses. These purposes are accomplished by:
1. Allowing for a range of housing types provided adequate services are available.
2. Providing for commercial and private resorts which contain provisions for a range of recreational activities.
3. Excluding uses that are not compatible with the desired recreational character of the area.
4. Encouraging conservation development configurations that create permanent open space, protect sensitive environmental features, reduce infrastructure costs and/or enhance recreational opportunities.
