# Planning & Zoning Commission

The Boise City Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on November 9, 2026. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending approvals were identified. The Commission recommended approval to City Council of a Harris Ranch specific-plan amendment that reduces permitted commercial space from about 843,998 to 335,000 square feet, increases residential capacity by 309 units, adds a nine-home block, and updates accessory-dwelling-unit standards to comply with state law. The recommendation passed unanimously, with a request that staff seek comments from ACHD and Boise School District before Council review and that staff and the applicant clarify setbacks for the proposed homes. Public testimony raised concerns about open space, traffic, and environmental impacts.

The Commission also recommended approval of the Clarus Town Center preliminary mixed-use subdivision—68 buildable and 18 common lots on 6.7 acres—with additional crosswalk conditions; that motion passed unanimously. It approved a conditional-use permit and variances for a five-unit cottage development at 407 South Wilson Street by a 5–1 vote. Other agenda actions included deferring CUP 26-27/CVA 26-34 to December 7, deferring the Kindred Subdivision item to a future date, and noting that CUP 26-30 had been withdrawn.
