Design Review Commission

The City of Boise Design Review Commission held a public meeting on September 8, 2026, to review a new multifamily residential development project at 9474 West State Street. The project involves constructing approximately 252 units across six three-story buildings and an associated clubhouse on an 11.54-acre site. The commission discussed the site layout, architectural design, building massing, and landscaping details, including street extensions and pedestrian pathways. The applicant presented detailed design elements such as varied rooflines, material textures, and mechanical system placements to enhance visual interest and functionality. The commission raised concerns about the length and massing of two large buildings but acknowledged the thoughtful design approach. No neighborhood association representatives or public opposition were present. The commission voted unanimously to approve the project with recommended conditions, emphasizing that some design suggestions be incorporated during final permitting. No additional conditions regarding crosswalks or other infrastructure were imposed, as these were expected to be addressed by the development team and relevant agencies.
