10/22/26 Board of County Commissioners: Community Development

Kootenai County Board of County Commissioners Community Development meeting, October 22, 2026. The board discussed the Green Meadows LLC zone-change application, Z26-00002, and moved its public hearing to November 19 at 6:00 p.m. before the hearing examiner, with a subsequent Board hearing scheduled for December 10 at 10:00 a.m. The transcript records a motion and second but does not capture the vote outcome. For the Mitchell Event Center conditional use permit, CUP25-00008, commissioners moved to remand the application for additional information on event frequency, roadway improvements and fire access, and an evacuation plan addressing emergency scenarios. The transcript does not clearly record the vote on that motion.

Commissioners also discussed Bulletin 77 and standards for accessory living units, including whether to use a square-footage limit or a percentage of the primary residence. They did not reach consensus; staff will obtain additional technical information from the Panhandle Health District and bring the matter back for further board discussion. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
