Any further notice on the proposed waiver will be provided to the city of Nampa at least seven (7) days prior to any public hearing. Written objections from the city of Nampa will be considered by the Canyon County commissioners. The application for waiver must show that prior to filing the application, the applicant first sought consent from the city of Nampa to the waiver, indicating the date of the request and the response, if any, from the city of Nampa. In granting any waiver, the board may impose any conditions the county deems necessary, to help mitigate any adverse effect to the health, safety and welfare of the community. The application for waiver will first be considered by the county planning and zoning commission at a public hearing, which shall make recommendations to the board of county commissioners for their consideration at a public hearing. The public hearings held before the Canyon County planning and zoning commission and the Canyon County board of commissioners will be conducted in accordance with the notice and hearing procedures provided by subsections 07-17-09(4) and (5) of this code.
