Planning and Zoning Commission
City of Ammon
Ammon Road
Ammon, ID 83406
Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission:
Horrocks Engineering has thoughtfully asked for comments from Bonneville School District 93 in
response to the proposed Johnston Famrs development, annexation, and zoning.
First, we recognize the demand for housing in our community and the necessity of providing
affordable housing. Growth in our area has spurred growth in our school district, which has
both benefits and challenges.
The proposed development is currently designated to attend Mountain Valley Elementary
School, Sandcreek Middle School, and Hillcrest High School. At this time, these schools have the
capacity to accommodate growth in their enrollment and the proposed development should
not have a significant adverse impact on those schools. However, as schools in other areas
become overcrowded, it may become necessary to change school boundaries to utilize this
available space. There is also a proposed expansion to Comora Loma subdivision in Bonneville
County which would also fall within the same designated attendance area.
Thank you for considering the impact to our schools in your deliberations on this and other
developments.
Sincerely,
Dr.Scott Woolstenhulme
Superintendent of Schools

10-15-3: Lot Coverage
10-15-4: Special Provisions Regarding Single-Family Attached Dwellings
10-15-1: GENERAL OBJECTIVES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF ZONE: The objective in
establishing the R-2 Residence Zone is to encourage the creation and maintenance of residential
areas within the City which are characterized by smaller dwellings, somewhat more compact and
denser residential development. This zone does not allow density that will exceed eight (8.0)
dwelling units per acre.
The principal permitted uses in the R-2 Residence Zone shall be single-family detached dwelling
units, buildings containing two (2), three (3), or four (4) zero lot line single-family attached dwelling
units, and certain other public facilities which are necessary to promote and maintain stable
residential areas.
In order to accomplish the objectives and purposes of this ordinance and to promote the essential
characteristics of this zone, the following regulations shall apply in the R-2 Residence Zone (see
also §10-5 Supplementary Regulations to Zones, §10-7 Special Provisions Applying to
Miscellaneous Uses, §10-29 Subdivision Regulations, and §10-37 District Use Matrix).
10-15-2: LOCATION OF ACCESSORY STRUCTURES:
(A) Side yard requirements for accessory buildings shall be the same as for main buildings. Any
accessory building placed in the calculated side yard of the main building shall maintain the
side yard requirements of the zone in which it is in. The distance between the main building
and the accessory building shall be subject to the requirements in the most recently adopted
version of the International Building Code or International Residential Code as they may apply.
(B) No side yard shall be required for accessory buildings which are located more than twelve
(12) feet in the rear of the main building (calculated from the furthest point of extension of any
part of the foundation), provided that the auxiliary building's drip line remains within the
property.
tğŭĻ Њ ƚŅ Ќ w9L{95 ЉЎЉЏЋЉЋЊ
10-15-3: LOT COVERAGE:
(A) Maximum Lot Coverage. Lot coverage, including all areas under roofs and paved or
concrete surfaces, shall not exceed seventy percent (70%) of the total lot and parking
area. The maximum lot coverage of single-family attached dwelling units shall be sixty-
five percent (65%) for interior lots and fifty percent (50%) for corner lots. The remaining
lot area shall be landscaped in accordance with provisions of this ordinance. All
landscaping outside of that immediately between any main building and any public street
shall be located, designed, and developed for the benefit and enjoyment of the residents
of the dwelling(s), including appropriate play areas for children.
(B) Lot Coverage Exemption. The landscaped area on a lot will be considered to include
such hard-surface outdoor recreation facilities as tennis courts, basketball courts,
shuffleboard courts, and swimming pools, provided that:
1. The hard-surface outdoor recreation facilities make up no more than forty percent
(40%) of the required landscaped area, and
2. Those facilities are available for the use of all residents of the development.
(C) Required Buffers. Wherever a development in the R-2 Zone adjoins land zoned RP, RP-
A, R-1, R1-A or RMH, or unincorporated land designated for single family residential use
in the City's Comprehensive Plan, a minimum ten (10) foot wide landscaped buffer shall
be provided. This buffer may be included in the thirty percent (30%) minimum
landscaped area required in (A) above.
10-15-4: SPECIAL PROVISIONS REGARDING SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED
DWELLINGS.
(A) All lots upon which a single-family attached dwelling is located shall have vehicular
access to and frontage upon a dedicated street or upon a granted easement of access
of not less than twenty-five (25) feet in width and of a distance from the public dedicated
street of no longer than approved by the planning and zoning commission.
(B) No single-family attached dwelling shall be located above another dwelling unit, either in
whole or in part.
(C) Each single-family attached dwelling shall have at least one direct pedestrian access from
the interior of the dwelling to the exterior boundaries of the lot and no pedestrian access
may be held in common with another single-family dwelling unit.
(D) No more than four (4) single-family attached dwellings may be attached together.
(E) Except as noted below, a single-family attached dwelling shall have no facilities or property
in common with another single-family attached dwelling and all dwellings shall be
structurally and functionally independent from each other. All single-family attached
tğŭĻ Ћ ƚŅ Ќ w9L{95 ЉЎЉЏЋЉЋЊ
dwellings shall have separate electrical service, water service lines, and sanitary sewer
service lines. Common facilities or property are allowed for the following:

Code or International Residential Code as they may apply.
2. Foundations supporting attached or party walls.
3. Flashing at the termination of the roof covering over any attached walls.
4. Roofs.
5. Vehicular access to a dedicated street for off-street parking facilities or detached

(F) No certificate of occupancy shall be issued for a single family attached dwelling unless a
common facility or party wall agreement or Declaration of Condominium, together with a
separate legal description for each dwelling unit has been filed with the Bonneville County
Recorder's Office and a copy provided to the City of Ammon, for each such dwelling unit
which shares common facilities with another unit. Such agreement shall include a legal
description of the individual dwelling units sharing common facilities and shall allocate
responsibility as and between the owners of such lots for the use, maintenance, and
ownership of all common facilities.

Summary of Discussions and Surveys
1.Many responses referred to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map, adopted May 17, 2018, that
showed low density residential, previously defined as up to 2.5 units per acre, over most
unincorporated land east of Crowley Road.
a.The original 2018 Comprehensive Plan did not have any language regarding density
restrictions east of Crowley Road.
2.Many responses stated that 2.5 homes per acre east of 45th E (Crowley Road) was more
harmonious with existing properties. 4 units per acre was stated as too dense and participants
did not support using the word average as it would allow for higher density housing units.
3.Some responses suggested 1 unit per acre east of the Hillside Canal.
4.Concerns with Medium Density Residential increasing density in unincorporated areas
5.Responses expressed the need to plan for potential schools sites within the Comprehensive Plan
6.Responses expressed the need for parks and green space in new developments
7.Concerns regarding infrastructure (specifically roads and water), schools and amenities (parks,
pool, etc.) being able to support new growth
8.Concerns with increase in population
9.Concerns with high density residential developments
10.Concerns with large-scale developments
11.Concerns with crime increasing and added pressures to emergency services
