Planning and Zoning Commission - June 24, 2026

The City of Moscow, Idaho Planning and Zoning Commission met on June 24, 2026, primarily to discuss amendments to the accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and manufactured home code ordinance in response to recent state legislation. Key procurement-related discussions included proposed changes to ADU size limits, occupancy restrictions, and parking requirements, with a consensus to increase maximum occupancy from two to four people and to eliminate owner-occupancy requirements. The commission also reviewed historical citizen survey data related to housing preferences, parking, and neighborhood characteristics to inform future planning decisions. Additionally, the commission discussed procedural clarifications regarding conditional use permits and addressed local traffic safety concerns, including a potential four-way stop at Third and Hayes. A motion was passed to direct staff to schedule a public hearing on the ADU ordinance amendments with the updated occupancy limit.
