Hearing Examiner

The City of Boise Hearing Examiner meeting on October 6, 2026, addressed a consent agenda and an appeal of an administrative design review. The examiner approved the consent agenda, which included the September 14 meeting minutes and variance CVA26-37 for 256 West Ona Street; no public opposition was heard on the variance.

The examiner then considered Eric Berg’s appeal of approval DRH26-00169 for three single-family dwellings on small lots at 1422 South Denver Avenue. The appellant argued that the two attached homes functioned as a duplex or co-housing and raised concerns about parking and neighborhood impacts. The applicant and planning staff maintained that the proposal met the code requirements for separately conveyable single-family homes. The examiner found that the appeal did not establish an error in the staff’s decision and denied the appeal, upholding the administrative approval. No procurement or spending activity was identified.
