Welcome
This digital open house is designed to present the proposed Module 1 and 2 framework changes.
What is a Zoning Code?
A city’s zoning code guides the physical design of a city. It is an essential tool to respond to the needs of our community, while preserving what makes Boise special. Specifically, it addresses:
- Where certain buildings, such as residential, office, commercial or industrial uses are allowed to be built
- How a development should look
- The processes and procedures to develop land
Module 1 and 2 Revisions
City of Boise staff was in the community listening during Spring of 2021 for Module 1 and Winter of 2022 for Module 2. We heard clear feedback from our community on things that needed to change to ensure our Zoning Code matched our community. We heard:
- A one-size-fits-all approach to neighborhood change does not fit Boise
- Consider the impacts of growth on existing infrastructure
- Our city needs affordable and sustainable housing now
- How do we manage growth on the edges of the city?
