Site improvement permit · Planning application
Zion Lutheran School's fence and landscaping project approved
The school plans a concrete block wall, a shrub and tree buffer with drip irrigation, and street trees. A variance lets the wall sit five feet from the property line instead of 15 feet. The city approved the permit Apr. 6, and work must meet city standards.

The application's description as it appears in City of Nampa's record. See the official record
Zion Lutheran School asked for two variances so it can build a concrete block (CMU) wall around its playground at 1012 12th Ave Rd in Nampa. The City Council approved building the wall 5 feet from the property line and allowing a 15-foot landscape buffer measured from the back of the sidewalk instead of the property line.
