Rezone for 1,150-square-foot restaurant denied on reconsideration

From the filing
The application's description as it appears in City of Nampa's record. See the official record
The City of Nampa is reconsidering its May 2025 denial of a request to rezone 1215 13th Street South from two-family residential (RD) to community business (BC) so a new restaurant can be built on the roughly 0.389-acre site, including the right-of-way in front of it. Neighbors across 13th Street South have raised concerns about noise, traffic, parking, and late-night activity. The revised site plan adds landscaping along the east and south sides and reduces the driveway to one one-way drive from 13th Street South to the alley.
A rezone for a property in an RD zone to a BC zone. The owner is proposing a small restaurant on the lot, as the lot is too skinny for residential use.
