Rezone · Planning application
Planning commission recommends denial of rezone for four homes on 4.9 acres
The request would rezone the rural tract from agricultural to single-family residential, limited to four lots on a private road. The commission found it inconsistent with the county's plan; the recommendation now goes to county commissioners for a decision.

The application's description as it appears in Canyon County's record. See the official record
The applicant asked to rezone a 4.93-acre property at 11223 Emerald Road near Nampa from agricultural to a single-family residential zone. A development agreement would limit development to four lots served by a private road. The findings reviewed the request against county criteria and found it inconsistent with the comprehensive plan, not compatible with surrounding uses, and harmful to the area's character.
The applicant requests a conditional rezone of Parcel R29634011B from an “A” (Agricultural) zone to a “CR-R-1” (Conditional Rezone – Single Family Residential) zone. The request includes a development agreement restricting development to four lots served by a private road. See Exhibit B for the applicant's application and submittal materials.
