Pocatello Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting 03 11 26

The City of Pocatello Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on March 11, 2026, to discuss several land use and development applications. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a preliminary plat application for the subdivision of land for the Wrestlon Memorial Cemetery, a rezoning request to change property from residential medium density to light industrial, and a planned unit development (PUD) proposal for a townhome community with clustered development and dedicated open space. The commission approved the preliminary plat and rezoning requests after public hearings and staff presentations. The PUD proposal was also approved following extensive discussion about parking, traffic impacts, and infrastructure maintenance, with assurances that further detailed plans, including drainage and plat maps, would be submitted for city review. The meeting included motions and unanimous votes to approve these applications, authorizing the chair to sign related findings and recommendations. Public concerns about traffic and parking were noted, with city staff indicating plans to address issues as they arise.
