Pocatello Planning and Zoning Commission 05 13 26

The City of Pocatello Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on May 13, 2026, to discuss two key zoning and annexation matters. First, the commission reviewed a city-initiated zoning map amendment to rezone approximately 4.93 acres from residential commercial professional to light industrial to better suit industrial uses proposed by the developer. The commission approved the amendment, including a reduction in the buffer zone between zoning districts. Second, the commission considered an annexation and zoning application submitted by Dykeman Construction Incorporated for a 19.19-acre undeveloped parcel to be annexed into the city and zoned commercial general. The annexation aligns with the city's comprehensive plan and utility availability. After public testimony in support and no opposition, the commission voted to recommend approval of the annexation and zoning. Both actions included motions passed unanimously and authorization for the chair or vice chair to sign the findings of fact and recommendations.
