Lifespring Christian Church is asking the City of Star to rezone its 1.64-acre property at 174 and 198 N. Star Road, north of W. State Street, from residential (R-4) to Central Business District (CBD), with a development agreement. The church would remodel its existing building in two phases, upgrading the front entrance and adding offices, nursery and children's space, and replacing a portable classroom building on the south side with a permanent addition. Staff recommends several additional uses, including a child care center, farmers market, events facility, commercial parking lot and recycling center, each subject to later zoning review.
The Applicant is requesting approval of a Rezone (R-4 to CBD-DA), with a Development Agreement to accommodate improvements to the facility. The property is located at 174 & 198 N. Star Road in Star, Ada County, Idaho, and consists of 1.64 acres.
