The application's description as it appears in City of Nampa's record. See the official record
A fiber optic equipment shelter is proposed at 1832 E Sherman Ave in Nampa, in a light industrial zone. The city approved the building's design review, which covers architecture, materials and colors. Site layout and landscaping were not part of this approval.
The scope of the project includes the construction of a fiber shelter that is designed to house equipment for Ziply Fiber. The equipment is laid out in a single aisle. Three individual three ton mini-split units are provided to handle cooling of the facility. The structure is built on a mono-slab on grade with wood frame construction. Additionally, an emergency backup generator will be installed within the fenced area that will kick on in the event that power is disrupted to the facility.
