AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Mayor Blad reminded the Council members that the November 11 CALENDAR REVIEW Work Session and November 18 Council Liaison/Work Session had been canceled; and the November 18 City Council Clarification meeting would be held at 5:30 p.m. followed by the Regular City Council meeting at 6:00 p.m. Mayor Blad announced the following: City offices would be closed November 11 to observe Veterans Day, however, garbage, compost and recycling pickups would remain on their regularly scheduled days; the Pocatello Historic Preservation Commission would host an open house at the Brady Chapel, located in the Mountain View Cemetery, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on November 11; early voting for the Pocatello Mayoral runoff election would begin November 12 and continue through November 26 between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, except for Thanksgiving day, at the Bannock County Elections Office located at 141 N. 6th Avenue; the annual leaf collection would continue through November 26.

Mayor Blad reminded citizens that face coverings are required in all City facilities. AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: This time was set aside for the Council to receive comments from PUBLIC HEARING/ the public regarding the proposal to reserve the forgone amount RESOLUTION for Fiscal Year 2022 in the amount of $707,927.00 for potential use -FORGONE BALANCE in subsequent years as described in Idaho Code §63-802. Mayor Blad opened the public hearing. James Krueger, Chief Financial Officer, stated that this resolution is a request to increase the amount of the forgone property tax reserve by $707,927.00, which would bring the forgone balance total to $4,080,415.00. He explained that because the City opted to take only a portion of the allowable 3% increase, which would have been the equivalent of $939,327.00, the remaining $707,927.00 not collected is by definition forgone balance. Mr. Krueger added that having a high forgone balance indicates that the City has repeatedly opted not to take the full, allowable property tax increase. In response to questions from Council, Mr. Krueger explained that in order to access the forgone balance during a given year, the City would have to take the full 3% property tax increase plus the desired amount of the forgone balance, and use would be limited to a maximum of 1% for maintenance and operations and 3% for capital projects. He added that using forgone balance has been minimal in REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 3 NOVEMBER 4, 2021 the past and may be less likely to occur in the future due to legislative changes. Mr. Krueger confirmed that by reserving this amount, there is no increase to taxes this year and no obligation to take this amount as tax in the future. He stated that he had received, as had the Mayor and City Council, an email from Heather Disselkoen regarding the forgone balance. Mayor Blad announced that no additional correspondence had been received. Jared Johnson, City Attorney, addressed a question regarding the timeliness of holding the public hearing. He pointed out the City is operating under a fairly new law and, due to the Legislature, there were delays in the City receiving the required numbers from the L-2 form which are crucial to determining the forgone balance amount and the budget. Mr. Johnson referenced a conflict of terms within the statute itself about when to hold the public hearing. He stated that based on his study of the law, analysis of the timeliness of pertinent events and the subsequent process followed, and the instruction provided by the Idaho State Tax Commission, the City is in compliance with the law by holding the public hearing and presenting the resolution at this time. Mr. Johnson confirmed that the Idaho State Tax Commission confirmed that the public hearing could be held at any time prior to the end of the year. Heather Disselkoen, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the resolution. She referenced the importance of following statutes and ordinances and expressed her understanding of the intent behind the legislation regarding the forgone balance. Lydia Noble, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the resolution. She expressed her disapproval of forgone balances and her concern over tax burden on citizens. Mr. Krueger reiterated that reserving the forgone reserve balance does not increase taxes in the current year. He explained that the forgone balance is the amount of money the City could have levied in property taxes but did not, though the City reserves the option to do so in the future if needed under specific parameters by law. Ms. Adamson pointed out that this resolution, which is neither a law nor an ordinance, serves as a statement to acknowledge the City could have claimed an additional $707,927.00 in taxes but did not. She added that the resolution allows the City Council to evaluate whether or not these funds may need to be collected in the future. Ms. Adamson clarified that funds have not been collected and set aside. In response to questions from Council, Mr. Krueger offered three scenarios that may qualify for the use of forgone balance, including a substantial capital project needing additional funds, a consumer price index increase leaving the government unable to meet demands for services, or a catastrophic event which would require response outside the regular budget process. He clarified that funds would be accessible only if they are reserved in advance by resolution followed by a process that includes holding a public hearing, identifying the specific use for the funds, and confirming that the intended use meets the requirements outlined by law. Mr. Krueger acknowledged that there is an 8% cap that includes several other possible tax increases that would limit the amount of forgone balance that could be collected. He closed by pointing out that the City has financial policies in place that guide the Council in navigating the tax and budget processes. There being no further public comments, Mayor Blad closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Ms. Leeuwrik, seconded by Ms. Adamson, to adopt a resolution (2021-17) to reserve the forgone amount for Fiscal Year 2022 in the amount of $707,927.00 for potential use in subsequent years as described in Idaho Code §63-802. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4 NOVEMBER 4, 2021 Ms. Adamson stated the forgone balance is being set aside in case of unforeseen circumstances and not with the intent or desire to use it. Ms. Leeuwrik’s motion was voted upon at this time. Upon roll call, those voting in favor were Leeuwrik, Adamson, Bray, Cheatum and Ortega. Stevens voted in opposition to the motion. The motion passed. AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: This time was set aside for the Council to receive comments from PUBLIC HEARING the public regarding a request by Trevor Henderson (mailing -ZONE MAP address: 410 Yellowstone Avenue, Pocatello, ID 83201) for a Zone AMENDMENT Map Amendment to rezone approximately 2.33 acres of property -DEAD END OF from Residential Estate (RE) to Residential Medium Density Multi- WEST HAYDEN Family (RMM). The subject property is located at the dead end of West Hayden Street. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on August 11, 2021 and recommended denial of the application. Staff found the proposal does not meet the standards for approval. Mayor Blad opened the public hearing. Mayor Blad announced no additional written correspondence had been received. Council members announced there had been no ex parte communication. Council member Adamson and Council member Cheatum stated they had visited the site. Council member Bray stated that he was familiar with the area. Trevor Henderson cited various aspects of his real estate experience as well as the need for affordable housing and infill in Pocatello. He expressed his belief that although the current zoning allows one single family unit on the lot, if the setbacks could be met, the acreage could fit up to six homes or three (3) four-plex units. Mr. Henderson admitted setbacks could be an issue. He felt adequate parking could be provided for multi-plex units, and congestion would not be increased by adding units to the area. Mr. Henderson did not believe that service and emergency vehicles would have reduced access or that there would be accessibility issues created for the surrounding properties. Additionally, on-street parking would not be necessary. Jim Anglesey, Senior Planner, provided an overview of the request for the proposed zone map amendment for the property which was found to be 2.33 acres (more or less) with 1.51 acres (more or less) having a slope of 15% or greater. He explained that the current Residential Estate (RE) zoning would permit one single-family unit, and the surrounding Residential Medium Density Single Family (RMS) zoning would allow for a single-family unit or a duplex. Mr. Anglesey noted that a zone map amendment from RE to Residential Medium Density Multi-Family (RMM) would significantly exceed the allowed density beyond what the surrounding zoning districts allow. He stated that if a rezone were to occur on the subject property, staff recommends that a portion of the property be rezoned from RE to RMS rather than RMM. Mr. Anglesey pointed out that within three hundred feet (300’) of the external boundaries of the subject property, 17% of the total properties are undeveloped and, due to steep slope, are most likely unbuildable; 3% of properties are developed with multi-family units; 1% of properties are developed with a duplex; and 79% of properties are developed with single-family units. He explained that because multi-family units make up only 3% of the surrounding properties and 79% of the surrounding land uses within 300’ of the subject property are single-family units, staff has determined that the proposed zone change would not blend with the surrounding intensity and density REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 5 NOVEMBER 4, 2021 of land uses in the neighborhood. Mr. Anglesey cited the Planning and Zoning Commission’s public hearing held August 11, 2021 wherein they recommended denial of the application finding the proposed zoning map amendment would not meet the criteria set forth by Pocatello Municipal Code section 17.02.170. He stated the public hearing had been properly noticed in accordance with state requirements and all comments received by staff had been provided to the Council for their review. Mr. Anglesey reported that staff had concluded that the proposed zoning map amendment is not compliant with Pocatello City Code section 17.02.170. He added that if the Council were to approve the application, staff recommends conditions as listed in the staff report, which include the condition to rezone a portion of the property to RMS rather than RMM. In response to questions from Council, Mr. Anglesey clarified that because the property is configured as a single lot, only one home could be placed on it given the zoning designation of RE. He added that if the zoning were changed, additional housing units could be placed on the property if they meet the setback requirements. Mayor Blad announced no additional correspondence had been received. Leland Dille, Pocatello resident, spoke in support of the application. Mr. Dille stated that as the previous owner of the property, he wasn’t aware of when the current zoning went into effect. He felt the site would be suitable for multi-plex dwellings and ideal for infill housing. Christopher Williams, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He stated that while there is a housing shortage in Pocatello, there are more appropriate locations for multi-unit housing units. Mr. Williams felt that the description of the property size of 2.33 acres is misleading because it includes steep hillsides which are not able to be developed. He believes that a single house would be suitable on the flat, buildable portion of ground, but not the proposed multi-unit dwellings. Mr. Williams pointed out the property is located in a neighborhood which has narrow streets and associated parking issues that create traffic flow issues. He believes adding living units to the area would exacerbate the problem. Danielle Newman, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She asked that the City Council support the Planning and Zoning Commission’s decision to deny the request. She felt that changing the zoning of the property as requested could set a precedent that would affect all the hillside properties in Pocatello. Ms. Newman expressed concern over potentially blocking a portion of the property she understood to be an easement and paved thoroughfare used by City service vehicles and citizens, including two houses that have garages that exit onto the thoroughfare. Catherine Spivey, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She pointed out that there is limited flat, buildable space on the lot. Martha Jones, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She felt that the neighborhood could not take any more traffic congestion on its narrow streets. Jose Fuster, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He stated the 2.33 acre area includes a power pole with support cables that covers approximately 650 square feet of space that he believes cannot be built upon. He expressed concerns over the comments and actions of the property owner related to adding lighting to the property. Ryan Bean, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He stated that he lives on the inlet of the alley and has witnessed the difficulty sanitation vehicles have utilizing it as well as fire trucks REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 6 NOVEMBER 4, 2021 having to park on Wyeth Street when responding to calls in or near the alley. He noted that with few driveways in the area and multi-family dwellings along the alley, parking issues are an ongoing problem. Dylan Merril, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He referenced concerns with parking issues on the street, access for emergency and service vehicles, and access to utilities. Michael Parris, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He expressed concerns over the lack of recorded utility easements and the sewer line that runs down the alley which has flow issues. He believes that the presence of pavement on the applicant’s property indicates that at some point the City paved the area and likely had an easement in place. Lynn Pedersen, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He stated he has lived in the area since 1967 and recalls the alley was paved when all the alleys throughout Pocatello were paved by the City. Mr. Peterson believes the City had an easement on the property based on a property valuation in his possession that reports the lot size as 1.9 acres, rather than 2.33 acres. He voiced his concerns about adding vehicles to the area which could be using an already crowded street for overflow parking. Council member Cheatum stated that his wife is related to the upcoming speaker, Darrell Hill. Darrell Hill, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He referenced his property deed which may indicate there is an easement on Hayden Street. Mr. Hill also expressed his concerns regarding the proposed project blocking use of his driveway, the number of vehicles that use the alley, and the unbuildable space on the property covered by power poles. Peggy Hill, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She described the property access issues for her property and to her driveway if the proposed project were to be realized. Mr. Henderson addressed issues raised by the public. He stated that parking wouldn’t be an issue, the lot size is 2.33 acres, and the proposed project would be built on the flat area of the lot. Mr. Henderson referenced the sewer line which runs down the property and the lack of clearly defined easements in the area. He stated that access to surrounding properties would not be blocked. Mr. Henderson stated that the paved portion of the property was asphalt tailings. He stated that access for emergency vehicles would not change. In response to questions from Council, Mr. Henderson stated that he would like to change the zoning to RMM so he could build two or three four-plexes with two parking spots per unit on the property. He stated that he has discussed moving the power lines with Idaho Power, but they have no plans to make a change at this point. There being no further public comments, Mayor Blad closed the public hearing. In response to questions from Council, Mr. Anglesey stated that about one acre of the property is flat ground, including the area of paved road. In response to questions from Council, Merril Quayle, Development Engineer, stated there is a ten- foot sewer easement that runs through the alley and a few other utilities which must be kept unobstructed and free from vehicles. He noted that a four-plex is typically 45 x 45 or 60 x 60 square feet. Mr. Quayle added there is a sewer line at the property, but water lines would have to be extended from Willow Avenue and Lincoln Avenue. He clarified that moving existing utilities would be handled through each individual utility company at the developer’s expense. Mr. Quayle explained that emergency vehicle access would have to be maintained as it has historically for the area or a turn- around space would have to be provided. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 7 NOVEMBER 4, 2021 In response to questions from Council, Mr. Anglesey confirmed that the Planning and Zoning Commission found Mr. Henderson’s request did not meet the criteria for approval based on City Code. A motion was made by Mrs. Ortega, seconded by Mr. Bray, to adopt the findings of the Planning and Zoning Commission and follow the recommendation of staff to deny the request by Trevor Henderson for a Zone Map Amendment to rezone approximately 2.33 acres of property from Residential Estate (RE) to Residential Medium Density Multi-Family (RMM), and that the decision be set out in appropriate Council Decision format. Ms. Adamson stated that she had spent hours studying the proposal’s documentation and City Code, and although she is a proponent of development and in-fill, there are legitimate, unresolved issues related to the request. She added that the proposal did not meet City Code standards, and there were other viable options for the property. Mrs. Ortega’s motion was voted upon at this time. Upon roll call, those voting in favor were Ortega, Bray, Adamson, Cheatum, Leeuwrik and Stevens. AGENDA ITEM NO. 8: As announced earlier, Agenda Item No. 8, a public hearing for the PUBLIC HEARING City-Initiated Comprehensive Plan Map, had been pulled from the -CITY INITIATED agenda and would be addressed at a future City Council meeting. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AGENDA ITEM NO. 9: Council was asked to consider a request from Mecinna Price APPEAL OF representing Valentine Ballroom (mailing address: 100 South Arthur HISTORIC Avenue, Pocatello, ID 83204), to appeal the Historic Preservation PRESERVATION Commission (HPC) decision denying a Certificate of COMMISSION DECISION Appropriateness for door signage. -100 SOUTH ARTHUR Ms. Price feels that the denial of a certificate of appropriateness for the Valentine Building was based on outdated regulations, and that each building in the downtown area should be considered on an individual basis. She explained that she added light blocking, temperature controlling solar screens to the front doors to resolve the high temperatures in the building that were creating costly issues. Ms. Price clarified that the size of the screens exceeded the allowable measurements, but was necessary for the screens to be effective. In response to questions from Council, Jim Anglesey, Senior Planner, explained that originally the solar screens were designated by staff as a display, but were later reclassified as a sign when it was pointed out in the Historic Preservation Commission review that the images on the doors displayed products sold by the business. He clarified that the City Code for signage on doors in the downtown area limits size to six (6) square feet, which was the premise for the denial by the Historic Preservation Commission due to the screens exceeding that limitation. Ms. Price expressed her concerns over limitations on signage that inhibit business owners from advertising on their doors and windows and the effect on a business’s ability to survive. She added that she had received complaints from the public who were unaware of businesses in the downtown area due to a lack of signage. Ms. Price referenced as an example that several members of the Historic Preservation Commission had been completely unaware of her business located at the Valentine Building. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 8 NOVEMBER 4, 2021 In response to questions from Council, Mr. Anglesey clarified that vinyl added to a window does not disrupt the integrity of the building or violate regulations of the National Register of Historic Places, but it does violate the City of Pocatello Sign Code. A motion was made by Ms. Stevens, seconded by Mrs. Ortega, to grant the appeal of the Historic Preservation Commission decision and approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for door signage. Upon roll call, those voting in favor were Stevens, Ortega, Adamson, Bray and Cheatum. Leeuwrik voted in opposition to the motion. The motion passed.
