From the filing
The application's description as it appears in Ada County's record. See the official record
The owners of a 1.35-acre property at 1922 S McDermott Rd near Nampa want permission to run an outdoor landscaping contractor's yard at the rear of their home site, with a parking area for vehicles and trailers and block bays for landscape material storage. The yard would operate 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, with up to 12 employees on site and 13 parking spaces. The request also combines two parcels, vacates an unused easement between them, and asks for a variance because the lot is smaller than the required minimum size.
Conditional Use, Master Site Plan, and Variance to operate a contractor’s yard on a property under three (3) acres, as well as a Vacation and Property Consolidation to combine the two subject parcels. The property contains approximately 1.35 acres in the Rural Urban Transition (RUT) District and is located at 1922 S McDermott Rd (Parcel R0471200100 & R0471200165); Section 21, T. 3N., R. 1W.
