Engagement
The way we engage with our community plays a vital role in how Boise’s zoning code functions and evolves. Every conversation, comment, and question help us understand what’s needed to support vibrant, inclusive neighborhoods. At the same time, we rely on data to evaluate how the code is performing—tracking development patterns, housing outcomes, and the use of incentives. Together, this daily connection with residents and consistent performance review ensures the zoning code stays responsive, transparent, and aligned with our city’s goals.
Ways to Participate
The City of Boise uses a range of strategies to gather meaningful community feedback. We listen in real time to residents navigating the planning and zoning process, conduct annual engagement, and carry out targeted outreach on specific topics throughout the year. We track key data and outcomes to understand how the zoning code is performing. This continuous cycle of input and evaluation helps us assess what’s working, identify areas for improvement, and ensure community voices remain at the heart of how we shape Boise’s future.
We're Listening
We want to hear from you. Whether you're a resident, business owner, or community organization, your input matters. Share your experiences, ask questions, or suggest improvements related to Boise’s zoning code. Your feedback helps shape a more inclusive, sustainable, and responsive city for everyone.
Tracking Our Progress
The zoning code is not a static document—it is designed to be thoughtfully updated based on evidence, outcomes, and community input. That’s why the City of Boise is committed to tracking how the code is working in practice. By collecting real-time data, evaluating outcomes, and listening to community feedback, we can better understand what’s effective, where gaps exist, and how to improve. This section highlights how we measure our progress through tools like the Zoning Activity Dashboard, regular reports, and a deep dive into our zoning incentives—ensuring that our code continues to deliver on its goals of housing affordability, sustainability, and community well-being.
Data Dashboard
The city is committed to providing real-time data that gives residents a clear view of what types of projects are being proposed, where they’re located and whether any zoning incentives are being used. View the Zoning Activity Dashboard to explore trends and activity under the updated zoning code.
