Conditional Use Permit CUP20-001 Naysha Foster presented the staff report for the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for two mobile classrooms at Idaho Falls High School located at 601 S Holmes Ave. in Idaho Falls, ID. The proposed CUP is to move two mobile classrooms. Each unit will include two classrooms. The mobile units are 64 feet by 27.8 feet. The R3A Zone allows schools and associated facilities with a Conditional Use Permit. The mobile classrooms are consistent with the current use of the property. The location of the mobile classroom will not affect the surrounding neighborhood and will not be visible from public streets. 66 public hearing notices were mailed on 5/8/20 to property owners within 300 feet. A legal notice was published in the Post register on Sunday, May 10th and the property was posted with a public hearing notice sign on 5/14/20. Staff recommends approval of the CUP and informed the board that the condition of Fire Department guidelines for final location of the modular units is no longer necessary as the Fire Department has already been to the school and cleared placement. Jonathan Gallup from Resin Architecture located at 305 1st Street in Idaho Falls represented School District 91 and stated that Naysha described what they needed. Gene asked about classroom access to the buildings. Jonathan stated that they will have entrance in the southwest corner and vehicle access throughout the Civic Center. There was no other Public Testimony. Kristi closed the public hearing. Board Discussion: Wendy questioned what happens to the buildings after the five year timeframe listed on the application. Naysha stated that that has nothing to do with the City it was the applicant’s statement. Jonathan said that this is meant to be a short term solution and hopefully in five years the modular classrooms will no longer be needed. There was no further discussion. Nathan made a motion to approve the CUP as presented. Gene seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Reasoned Statement: Kristi read the reasoned statement.
