subject application.
No parking areas would be added.
No improvements to the public rights-of-way adjacent to the subject

ii. February 17, 2026
b. Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Decisions from Previous Meetings
i. FP-25-02 - Lots 1A, 2A, and 3A, Block 96 Final Plat
A final plat to reconfigure the existing six (6) parcels into three (3) parcels. The property is zoned B –
Business. The preliminary lot line adjustment was approved by the Bellevue Common Council on July
14, 2025.
Mr. Parker noted that the FP-25-02 Findings did not make it into the meeting packet, so they should not be
approved.
Commissioner Grootveld motioned to approve the consent agenda, Commissioner Beiser seconded, all
voted in favor, and the motion carried.
5. NEW BUSINESS
a. DR-26-01 – Malone Shipping Containers– ACTION ITEM
An application for Design Review Approval for the placement of four (4) shipping containers to be placed
on the site of Karl Malone Ford and Powersports. Two (2) of the containers are proposed to be located
within a fenced storage area yet to be constructed, while the other two (2) are proposed to be located
along the rear of the building. The property is 4.97 acres and zoned B – Business.
Mr. Johnson discussed the proposal to permit the continued existence of four (4) shipping containers
located on the subject property. He noted that the a fence permit has been issued for a fence in the
proximity of the shipping containers which would provide some screening. Commissioner Beiser asked
for details on what the containers would be used for. Mr. Johnson stated that the containers would
primarily be used for parts. Commissioner Beiser asked if the containers would be a permanent or
temporary installation. Mr. Johnson did not specify the anticipated duration of the containers.
Commissioner Heugly asked if the containers would block parking areas or drive aisles. Commissioner
Grootveld asked if the shipping containers would impact employee parking. Mr. Johnson did not know if
the area in question was being used for employee parking currently. Chair Kurtz asked about the code
requirements for drive aisle widths. Mr. Parker noted that for ninety-degree (90°) parking, the code
requires a twenty-four foot (24’) wide drive aisle. Mr. Johnson stated that the space between the
shipping containers at the rear of the building and the parking area to the west was less than twenty-
four feet (24’) in width. Commissioner Beiser asked if the containers currently placed in the parking area
could also be placed against the building. Mr. Johnson stated that the placement the other two
containers behind the building would likely obstruct the service doors. Chair Kurtz asked about the
intended use of the fenced area. Mr. Johnson stated that fenced area would be for inventory not
currently on display. Chair Kurtz asked how snow was planned to be moved into areas blocked by
fencing. Mr. Johnson stated that snow could be pushed around the east side of the fenced area, but the
far reaches may be challenging to utilize. Commissioner Beiser asked for clarification if the eight (8)
Douglas Firs and Rocky Mountain Junipers identified on the plans were each or total. Mr. Johnson stated
that eight (8) of each were to be planted. The Commission indicated that they had some additional
questions, but wanted to hear from Staff first.
Mr. Parker presented an overview of the Staff Report, including the site history, issues with the original
calculation of the parking requirements, and challenges with compliance with the Design Review
standards of Bellevue City Code. Commissioner Beiser asked for clarification as to why the containers
needed to be approved through Design Review. Mr. Parker stated that shipping containers meet the
definition of a “building” in Bellevue City Code, and Code requires all buildings in the Business Zone to
receive Design Review approval. Additionally, as these are larger than two hundred (200) square feet, the
containers also need building permits. Chair Kurtz asked for clarification on the non-metal siding
standards from Section-10-17-5(B)(1)(f). Mr. Bullock noted that the code language references buildings
upon parcels abutting Main Street not buildings abutting Main Street, so the standard would be
applicable to all sides of the building. Commissioner Heugly asked if snow storage was adequate on the
site. Mr. Parker stated that the snow storage identified on the plan meets the code requirements, and
that the administrative approval for the landscape plan modification for the fence includes a
requirement that inventory be removed if the snow storage on required parking needs to be utilized.
Chair Kurtz opened the floor for public comment. The following individuals provided comment:
Diane Shay, 331 Melrose
Chair Kurtz asked the applicant to discuss the dumpster being stored on the property as well as the
questions asked via email prior to the meeting. Mr. Johnson discussed the dumpster, trash, and vehicle
access onto Kirtley Street.
Commissioner Beiser asked Staff about the appropriateness of placing an expiration on the approval.
Staff indicated that it may be appropriate to do so.
Commissioner Beiser outlined concerns with the application as presented and indicated that she was not
comfortable approving it as presented. Commissioner Grootveld agreed and said that the operations
occurring on the property were not consistent with the previously approved plans, and that approving
the application as presented would only make problems worse. Commissioner Heugly agreed with the
other Commissioners and felt that more consideration of details was needed. Chair Kurtz added that
more consideration of fire safety needed to be included in the proposal, and additional landscaping
would be needed to adequately screen the fence, building, and containers from the neighboring
residential uses. Chair Kurtz asked Mr. Johnson if he felt that he had the information he needed to bring
back a more approvable proposal. Mr. Johnson stated that he would provide architectural drawings,
address the parking and circulation issues identified, and to consider different materials, landscaping,
painting, or other methods to more effectively screen the use. Chair Kurtz added that renderings from
Tendoy or Kirtley would be helpful in assessing the adequacy of the screening. Mr. Johnson stated that
he understood.
Commissioner Beiser motioned to continue the subject application to a date uncertain, Commissioner
Grootveld seconded, all voted in favor, and the motion carried.

4. CONSENT AGENDA – ACTION ITEM
a. Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Decisions from Previous Meetings
i. DR-26-02 – City Hall Repainting
An application for Design Review Approval for façade changes to Bellevue City Hall, located at 115
East Pine Street. The property is 028 acres and zoned LB/R – Limited Business Residential.
Commissioner Grootveld motioned to approve the Consent Agenda, Commissioner Heugly seconded, all
voted in favor, and the motion carried.
5. NEW BUSINESS
a. DR-26-01 – Malone Shipping Containers– ACTION ITEM
An application for Design Review Approval for the placement of four (4) shipping containers to be placed on the
site of Karl Malone Ford and Powersports. Two (2) of the containers are proposed to be located within a fenced
storage area yet to be constructed, while the other two (2) are proposed to be located along the rear of the
building. The property is 4.97 acres and zoned B – Business.
I, designated Planning Commission Secretary for the City of Bellevue, Idaho, hereby certify that the regular meeting notice and agenda were posted in accordance with
Idaho Code §74-204 within forty-eight (48) hours prior to the meeting at: the City of Bellevue City Hall, Post Office, and on the City of Bellevue Website:
https://www.bellevueidaho.us/ on April 2, 2026.
In compliance with the American with Disabilities Act, individuals needing special accommodations during this meeting should notify the City
Bellevue, 115 East Pine Street, Bellevue, Idaho 83313, or phone number 208-788-2128 ext. 8, at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the meeting.
Brian Parker provided an update on materials provided since the last meeting, including photos of proposed
fencing styles, an updated site plan with all four (4) of the containers located within the fenced area and an
updated landscape plan with additional screening on the south side of the fenced area.
Cal Johnson and David Hicks representing the applicant discussed the updated materials and noted that the
relocated containers would no longer impact parking.
Commissioner Beiser asked if the containers would be temporary or permanent installations. Mr. Hicks stated
that some but not all could be temporary. Commissioner Grootveld asked if the barbed wire shown on the
example photos would be included in the fencing installed. Mr. Hicks confirmed that no barbed wire would be
installed, and Mr. Parker noted that it was a condition of approval on the fence permit that no barbed wire
would be installed. Commissioner Grootveld asked if the applicant was willing to commit to not storing anything
on top of the containers. Mr. Hicks stated that they would not store anything “unsightly” on the containers, but
would like to store seasonal parts and inventory.
Chair Kurtz opened the floor to public comment. The following individuals provided comment:
Bill Pereira
Tristan Gralenski
Upon receipt of the comments, Chair Kurtz asked the applicant’s representatives to respond to concerns raised
by the public. Mr. Johnson noted that the fence construction was in the building permit process, and that they
would look into the storage of snowmobiles on top of containers that was currently occurring.
Chair Kurtz asked staff why a building permit was required in addition to a fence permit. Mr. Parker stated that
Idaho building code requires a building permit for fences over seven feet (7’) in height.
Commissioner Beiser discussed the application’s compliance with Bellevue’s design standards, and stated that
she felt that it did not comply with sections 10-17-5(B)(1)(a) and 10-17-5(B)(1)(f), 10-17-5(C)(2). Commissioner
Grootveld agreed, and noted that the slatted chain link fence was an inappropriate screening method for a
property abutting a residential neighborhood. Mr. Parker noted that the chain link would not face Kirtley or the
rear of the site. Mr. Heugly noted that the chain link would prominently visible from Main Street. Commissioner
Heugly stated that he felt that the proposal was in response to excessive inventory, and that snow storage would
be challenging. Chair Kurtz discussed the history of the project and noted that the applicant made a choice to
reduce the lot size of the dealership, that the business model appears to require more space, and that the
community is being asked to accept that. He agreed that snow storage would be challenging and likely to
damage the fence. The Commission discussed that this was the first time an applicant had attempted to permit a
shipping container and that the proliferation of containers in the Business zone was not desirable. The
Commission discussed the ineffectiveness of trees to provide meaningful screening until they reached maturity
and that the site topography exacerbated screening challenges with the current site conditions of parking and
materials right up against the edge of the hillside.
Commissioner Beiser motioned to deny the subject application and to direct Staff to prepare Findings of Fact,
Conclusions of Law, and Decision documents reflecting this decision. Commissioner Heugly seconded, all voted in
favor, and the motion carried.

a. Regular Meeting – April 20, 2026

eight (48) hours prior to the meeting at: the City of Bellevue City Hall, Post Office, on the City’s website on May 14,
2026. (Suggested Motion: I move the notice for the May 18, 2026, regular Meeting was completed in accordance with

3. PUBLIC COMMENT: For items of concern NOT on the Agenda.
The following members of the public provided comment:
Jeff Pfaeffle
4. PUBLIC HEARINGS – ACTION ITEMS
a. FPDP-26-01 – Diversion 45 Floodplain Variance– ACTION ITEM
A floodplain variance application to allow for a technical rise in the base flood elevation as a result of
improvements and repair to the Diversion 45 dam structure located within the floodway of the Big Wood River.
The site is located within the Howard Preserve at the head of the District 45 Canal.
Mr. Parker presented the request for a floodplain variance and the standards of evaluation. Greg Clark,
representing Water District 45 provided an overview of the goals of the reconstruction project. RJ O’Leary
discussed the need for reconstruction of the dam, and that the dam is not constructed on a foundation. Mr.
O'Leary presented the plans and described the stream bed rehabilitation and fish passage system.
Chair Kurtz opened the public hearing. The following individuals provided comment:
Mary McClanahan
Jackie Peppard
Kristin Fletcher
Tony Evans
Tom Blanchard
Melanie Dahl
Amanda Bauman, Project Bigwood

access.
Upon hearing request for additional comment, Chair Kurtz reopened the public hearing, and received comments
from the following individuals:
Florence Blanchard
Kristin Fletcher
Doro Schinella
Mary McClanahan
Commissioner Beiser motioned to approve the variance, Commissioner Grootveld seconded, all voted in favor,
and the motion carried.
b. TA-26-01 – Right-of-Way Management – ACTION ITEM
A city-initiated zoning and subdivision text amendment to improve management practices of rights-of-way
within the City of Bellevue.
Carter Bullock presented the reasoning for the ordinance update regarding right-of-way management. Current
ordinances regarding rights-of-way are in various locations and not obvious for the public where they may be.
Currently allowable encroachments are limited to driveway approaches, public utilities, and roadway
improvements, which did not necessarily match the desires of the community. Mr. Bullock presented the
proposed modifications. Commissioner Grootveld asked about licensing requirements for neighbors assisting
neighbors in snow removal. As the licensing requirements are for vehicles, individuals not requiring a vehicle to
aid neighbors would not need to receive a license. Commissioner Beiser asked about enforcement of updated
parking and vehicle storage standards. Mr. Bullock and Mr. Parker discussed the enforcement progress to date
and plans to improve. Commissioners recommended reducing the idling limit to fifteen (15) minutes rather than
thirty (30) minutes. Commissioner Beiser asked for clarification on the number of driveways by lot frontage. Mr.
Bullock would revise the provision.
Commissioner Beiser motioned to continue the public hearing to June 1, 2026, Commissioner Grootveld

Finding that the regular meeting notice and agenda were posted in accordance with Idaho Code §74-204 within forty-
eight (48) hours prior to the meeting at: the City of Bellevue City Hall, Post Office, on the City’s website on June 12,

No Commissioners identified any conflicts
3. PUBLIC COMMENT: For items of concern NOT on the Agenda.
Robin Lehat requested a pre-application meeting. Mr. Parker suggested that a staff-level meeting was the
appropriate next step.
4. NEW BUSINESS – ACTION ITEM
a. DR-26-06 – 509 S Main St. Mural and Shipping Container – ACTION ITEM
An application for Design Review Approval for changes to the exterior paint color to add a mural to the south
side of the structure located at 509 South Main Street and to maintain in place a shipping container on this same
property.
Mr. Bullock presented an overview of the application. He noted that murals are exempted from sign code, but
façade changes are required to receive Design Review approval, the shipping container is already on site, there
is a fence on the Main Street side of the structure, and that the container is generally unadorned.
The applicant, Jason Hanks, presented his proposal. He described the updates he has completed to the property
to date, explained the operational need for additional storage.
Commissioner Beiser asked for clarification on the need for approval for the shipping container considering that
it is less than 200 square feet. Staff clarified that all structures in the Business zone require Design Review
approval, but only those over 200 square feet need a building permit.
Chair Kurtz asked how snow storage would be operated with a fence between the parking area and the
proposed snow storage location.
Commissioner Beiser asked if Staff had researched plats recorded on the property for the presence of any access
easements through the property. Staff noted that they had researched and no easements had been found.
Chair Kurtz asked about the mural and noted that many of the elements shown were not necessarily Bellevue
specific.
Chair Kurtz opened the floor to public comment. The following individuals provided comment:
Giselle Andrade, as a translator on behalf of Maria Reyes
Robin Lehat
The Board asked about the business hours. Mr. Bullock noted that no business hour limitations existed. Mr.
Hanks noted that contractors were working late to complete interior work after business hours. He stated that
he receives shipments of up to 24 pallets at a time and has to move them around with a forklift.
Commissioner Beiser expressed appreciation for the mural and asked if the rest of the Commission asked if a
condition of approval for a revised snow storage plan. The Commission felt that it was an appropriate condition
of approval. She noted that shipping containers are challenging to manage, particularly in regard to the metal
siding prohibition on Main Street. The Commission discussed potentially fencing all four sides of the area
containing the shipping containers, installing wood siding, or placing a roof over the structure.
Commissioner Grootveld motioned to approve the subject application with the following additional conditions
of approval:
3. The applicant may replace the proposed shipping container with a wood-framed structure less than 200
square feet upon approval from Staff.
4. The applicant shall provide a revised snow storage plan with snow storage located on the west side of the
fence.
Commissioner Beiser seconded the motion, all voted in favor, and the motion carried.
b. CUP-26-01 – Karl Malone Ford & Powersports Expansion – ACTION ITEM
An application to expand the existing motor vehicle and power sports sales facility to a separate parcel to
facilitate overflow storage.
The Board discussed the relationship between the subject application and the pending appeal of the design
review application for the placement of shipping containers on the primary facility.
Mr. Parker provided an overview of the proposed expansion and reviewed the requirements for granting a
conditional use permit. The Commission asked about the landscaping, if any physical constraints to access across
the gas station were proposed or installed. Mr. Johnson noted that Armstrong Maples typically grow to 25’. Mr.
Parker noted that impeded cross access from the subject properties to the gas station would likely be
detrimental to the gas station’s operations and approvals with ITD.
Mr. Johnson presented the proposal. Commissioner Heugly asked for reassurance that the employee parking will
not be utilized for trailer storage or other unsightly uses that have occurred on the existing facility. Mr. Johnson
indicated that it could be a condition of approval. Commissioner Heugly provided a desire for additional
evergreens to provide year-round screening. Chair Kurtz asked about snow storage operations, particularly how
snow would be relocated around the rear of the fenced area. Mr. Johnson stated that they would drive around
the exterior of the fence, could install a gate at the rear of the fence, or not fence the rear of the property.

Chair Kurtz opened the hearing for public comment. The following individuals provided comment:
Evan Stelma, 111 Tendoy Street
Upon closing the public comment portion of the hearing, the Commission entered into deliberation.
Commissioner Grootveld was not in favor of extending the amount of parking and asphalt at the northern
entryway into the City. Commission Beiser noted that a parking lot was likely to accompany and be in front of
most other likely development on the expansion site, and stated that it appeared likely to alleviate some
ongoing issues on the site. She noted that the landscaping and fencing were less than desirable. Commissioner
Grootveld noted that this proposal was primarily to accommodate excessive inventory and operations rather
than a necessary expansion. Commissioner Beiser noted that the proposed fencing and landscaping was not
consistent with Conditional Use Permit Criteria C. The Commission noted a desire for a different style of fencing
and suggested natural material or well designed metal fencing. Commissioner Grootveld noted that the
Comprehensive Plan discourages strip development and extensive parking lots along Main Street, and this
proposal increases the feel of strip development. Commissioner Grootveld also felt that the use was not
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s desire for gateway entrances and substantial differences in
development between the City Limits and unincorporated Blaine County. Chair Kurtz asked for clarification on
the parking requirements. Commissioner Beiser suggested that more evergreens be utilized in landscaping and
to increase the amount of landscaping on the north side of the lot, and to consider more natural fencing
materials on the north side of the lot. Commissioner Grootveld expressed concerns that the use is likely not
appropriate for the subject location and the expansion of the automobile sales is detracting from the original
approval of the primary facility.
Commissioner Beiser motion to continue the subject application to July 6, 2026. Commissioner Heugly
seconded, all voted in favor, and the motion carried.

Exterior Trim
Color Changes
Staff Report
120 N Main Street
Bellevue Planning & Zoning Commission
July 6, 2026
Executive Summary
Description
An application for Design Review Approval for changes to the exterior paint color of the structure
located at 120 N Main Street.
Discussion
• The applicant is requesting to repaint the exterior trim of the existing structure located at 120 N
Main Street. Bellevue City Code Section 10-17-3(A) requires Design Review approval for
“change to or demolition of the exterior of any building, excluding necessary maintenance,
within the Business Zoning District, Limited Business/Residential Zoning District, Light
Industrial/Mixed Business Zoning District, Light Industrial Zoning District, or Transitional Zoning
District in the City.”
• The changes in question have already occurred, and Staff has pursued applicable code
enforcement mechanisms to work toward compliance. In tandem with the exterior paint
changes made, the applicant installed string lights which appear to violate the Bellevue
Outdoor Lighting Ordinance (10-22B). Staff has requested changes to/removal of this lighting.
• The exterior paint color changes in question appear to meet the intent and letter of Bellevue’s
Design Review standards.
Recommendations
Actions
Based upon the record provided to date, Staff recommends approval of the subject application,
subject to the following condition:
1. That the added exterior lighting on site be modified or removed to comply with the Bellevue
Outdoor Lighting Ordinance to the satisfaction of Staff.
Suggested motion:
“I move to approve DR-26-07 subject to the condition outlined in the Staff Report, and to direct
Staff to prepare Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Decision documents reflecting this
recommendation based on the record provided.”
Notice of Expiration
Pursuant to Bellevue City Code Section 10-17-7(A), approval of the Design Review application shall
expire if the proposed modifications are not complete within one (1) year of the final action by the
Commission.

Required Findings Code Sections
NOTE: Standards of most relevance have been highlighted in BLUE. Comments from Staff then
follow in RED.
Bellevue City Code Section 10-17-5(B): Architecture:
1. Generally:
a. Building and shopfront design and construction shall reflect historical architecture styles
and shall incorporate building materials, architectural design and features representative of
that historical period in Bellevue between 1880 and 1910. That architectural style includes
frame and brick construction, frame and shiplap siding construction, horizontal log
construction, and similar westward expansion motifs. Also, building design and
construction shall preserve and incorporate any such existing structures and features,
signage, exterior fixtures and other items from that period.
The exterior changes do not appear to compromise any historic significance of the structure
in question, which is sided with wood and is the product of adaptive reuse of a former gas
station.
b. A building exceeding eight thousand five hundred (8,500) square feet of building coverage
shall incorporate a change in facade design, materials, color and/or height, or a
combination thereof, that such building appears to be more than one building. These
changes shall occur at a minimum of every fifty feet (50') of wall facade visible by the
general public and at the ceiling line of the first floor on two-story buildings. In addition, the
facade shall change in depth a minimum of two feet (2') at each such change in facade.
c. All buildings in the B Business District shall have a minimum setback from wall/foundation
to property line adjacent to Main Street/Highway 75 of three feet (3'), providing an area for
covered seating, planters, special event advertising units and displays of merchandise, in
addition to the specified requirements of subsection B1b of this section.
d. All exterior mechanical equipment shall be screened on all sides with materials and colors
matching the approved structure.
DR-26-02 5
Staff Report
July 6, 2026
e. Mechanical equipment and solar panels shall be hidden or de- emphasized.
f. Metal siding shall not be permitted on buildings on parcels of real property abutting Main
Street (State Highway 75) unless deemed appropriate by the Planning and Zoning
Commission. All such buildings shall be constructed of or faced with materials that are
similar in texture, finish, and appearance to natural materials. The use of natural materials
such as wood, brick and stone shall be encouraged, and exterior wall colors shall be of
natural earth tones.
The exterior changes in question maintain the materiality of the structure and the changed
trim color is of a natural earth tone.
g. Exterior lighting systems shall not create glare nor cast light on neighboring properties.
Night lighting shall be only what is needed to promote safe use, preferably with energy
conserving lighting of low intensity.
Staff has received complaints from nearby residents that the additional exterior lighting
creates glare. The lighting is not used during business hours and appears to violate the
Bellevue Outdoor Lighting Ordinance (10-22B), as it is unshielded.
h. Accessory dwelling unit sizes shall comply with section 10-2-1 of this title.
2. Multi-Family And Townhouses: Multi-family and townhouses shall maintain traditional rural,
small town development patterns and architectural styles in keeping with the existing character
of the area and location of the site. Multi-family and townhouse design, style, scale, and
aesthetics shall blend with its neighborhood. There shall be no repetitive side by side
development of buildings. The City is looking for individual buildings by varying types and styles
to make for a pleasant streetscape experience.
3. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs): ADUs shall maintain traditional rural, small town
development patterns and architectural styles in keeping with the existing character of the area
and emulate the primary structure of the site. Design, style, scale, and esthetics shall blend
with its neighborhood. Building materials and exterior architectural design shall be reflective of
existing structures on the subject site and take into consideration the architectural style and
materials of the general vicinity.
