About this application
The owner of a home at 1604 N 27th Street in Boise's historic district asked to modify a previously approved tiny home on wheels in the back yard so it includes one on-site parking space for the single-family home. The tiny home is about 160 square feet and 13.5 feet tall, sits behind a six-foot fence out of view from the street, and the parking space is limited to 10 by 20 feet.
