Variance approved to split Nampa lot for a second single-family home
The City Council approved a variance to divide a 0.23-acre lot into two 5,000-square-foot lots, which is below the zone's minimum size. Approval is limited to building a single-family home for the owner or their representative, and construction must begin within six months of issuance.

The applicant is asking the city for a variance to split a 0.23-acre lot at 424 S Banner St in Nampa into two lots of about 5,000 square feet each, below the 6,000 square foot minimum for the zone.
