Board of Adjustment to be composed of the Mayor and members of the City Council to aid
in the administration of this ordinance, with powers and duties as hereinafter set forth.
10-9-2: ORGANIZATION OF THE BOARD: The Board of Adjustment shall adopt
rules in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance.
Meetings of the Board shall be held at times as the Board may determine. All meetings
of the Board shall be open to the public. The Board shall keep minutes of its proceedings,
showing the vote of each member upon each question or, if absent or failing to vote,
indicating such facts and shall keep records of its examinations and other official acts, all
of which shall be filed immediately in the office of the Board of Adjustment and shall be a
public record. The City Clerk shall serve as Secretary of the Board, but shall have no vote
at the meetings of the Board.
10-9-3: DUTIES OF THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: The Board shall consider
testimony given at a hearing held before the Planning and Zoning Commission and the

order, requirement, decision or determination made by the Zoning Administrator and shall
have appellate jurisdiction over all decisions and rulings of the Zoning Administrator. It

Ammon City Council 12.21.2023Page 49 of 113
10-9-5: CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATIONS AND APPEALS: Any citizen or
person or any officer or department of the City may appeal to the Board of Adjustment by
filing a request in written form clearly addressing the appeal request. All appeal requests
must be submitted in completed form along with any required fees, meeting the current
requirements for the required hearing procedures. Such appeal shall be made within thirty
(30) days from the grant or refusal of a building permit by the Zoning Administrator.
The Board of Adjustment may consider only three (3) types of cases. The Powers
of the Board of Adjustment are as follows:
A. The Board of Adjustment shall consider appeals of the type of case where the
applicant alleges the Zoning Administrator is interpreting the zone map incorrectly.
(See paragraph 10-9-8-(A) of the zoning ordinance.)
B. The Board of Adjustment may upon application consider the type of case known
as a variance, where the person making the application can show that the strict
application of the regulation would result in peculiar and exceptional difficulties or
unnecessary hardship upon the property because of exceptional narrowness,
shallowness or shape of his property at the time of the enactment of the controlling
regulation, or because of exceptional topographic conditions or other conditions
peculiar to the lot. However, the Board of Adjustment cannot grant a request which
would be contrary to the spirit of the zoning ordinance or its objectives and
purposes. (See paragraph 10-9-8-(B) of the zoning ordinance.)
C. The Board of Adjustment upon application may approve special or conditional use
permits and special exceptions, which are specifically set out in the zoning
ordinance. (See paragraph 10-9-8-(C) of the zoning ordinance.) The Board of
Adjustment may approve, deny, in whole or in part, or may attach conditions to the
grant of the request. (See paragraph 10-9-8-(D) and 10-9-8-(E) of the zoning
ordinance).
D. Any person or business that violates the terms and conditions of a conditional use
permit shall be subject to the revocation of the conditional use permit. Revocation
of a conditional use permit shall be done by the City Council at a regular City
Council meeting. The holder of the conditional use permit subject to revocation
shall be notified of the time and place the City Council will review said conditional
use permit.
E. Any violation of the terms of a conditional use permit shall be deemed an infraction
and subject to penalties for such violations under section 1-4-2 of the City Code.
Each day such violation continues, shall be a separate violation, which shall be
deemed as a separate infraction and a citation may be issued therefore. Violations
shall be assessed on a per violation per day basis.
10-9-6: PAPERS AND RECORDS TO BE SUBMITTED TO BOARD OF
ADJUSTMENT: Upon the filing of the application, the Zoning Administrator shall schedule
a hearing date and prepare all papers, records and other pertinent data pertaining to the
appeal.
Page 2 of 8 BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT Revised 04-21-2022
Ammon City Council 12.21.2023Page 50 of 113
10-9-7: NOTICE OF HEARING: The Planning and Zoning Commission shall hold
a public hearing and make a recommendation to the Board of Adjustment in regards to
granting or denying a conditional use permit as provided in Section 67-6509 of the Idaho
Code.
The Board of Adjustment may order a public hearing before deciding any other matter
within its jurisdiction under the provisions of this ordinance. If a public hearing is required
hereunder, or ordered by said Board, a notice of the time and place of such hearing shall
be published in the official newspaper of the City at least fifteen (15) days before the date
of the hearing as provided in Section 67-6509 of the Idaho Code.
10-9-8: POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: The Board
of Adjustment shall have the following powers and duties:
A. Alleged Error. The Board of Adjustment shall hear and decide appeals wherein it is
alleged that there is error in any order, requirement, decision, or determination made
by the Zoning Administrator, or other administrative officers, in the enforcement of this
ordinance and shall decide questions involving interpretation and determination of
zone boundary lines, subject to review and approval by the City Council.
B. Variance. The Board of Adjustment may grant variances from the strict letter of this
ordinance where a property owner can show that:
1. Because of exceptional narrowness, shallowness or shape of a specific lot or
parcel of land, or
2. By reason of peculiar topographical features or other special circumstances
peculiar to the particular lot or parcel of land, the strict application of the terms
of this ordinance would deprive him of privileges commonly enjoyed by other
properties in the same zone.
Before a variance can be granted, the Board of Adjustment must find upon the evidence
before it that:
1. Special circumstances do actually attach to the particular property which
do not apply generally to the other properties in the same zone.
2. Because of some special circumstances the appellant's property is
deprived of privileges possessed by other properties in the same zone.
3. The granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive
plan of zoning in the City.
4. Adherence to the strict letter of the ordinance will cause difficulties and
hardships, the imposition of which is unnecessary in order to carry out the
purposes of the zoning plan.
5. The hardship has not been caused by an action of the property owner taken
after the effective date of this ordinance.

Such conditional use permit shall be for a limited time and may be
renewed in the discretion of the Board but shall not survive the
change of ownership of the property or of the use.
As a condition to granting any special use permit, the Board may
require the written consent of all property owners who own property
contiguous and adjacent to the subject property and may require a
notification of all land owners within five hundred (500) feet of the

property which is within a duly-zone commercial or industrial district for commercial or industrial
development where no new streets are required or are to be dedicated for public use; nor shall it
include or apply to the allocation of land in the settlement of an estate, or a court decree for the

required by Title 50, Chapter 25 of the Idaho Code and as set forth within this chapter.
10-29-3: APPROVAL OF SUBDIVISION PLAT: No plat shall be recorded or offered for
record until the plat has been reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the City
Council and shall bear thereon the approval, by endorsement, of the Mayor, City Engineer and
City Clerk.

10-29-6: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
Street Requirements.
(A) All through streets in the subdivision must conform to the major street plan of the City.
1. The alignment and width of previously platted streets, when extended shall be
preserved unless topographical conditions make a modification advisable.
2. Exception to this would be in the case where the existing street will no longer meet
the required street width as determined by the current ordinance.
3. Where a subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed arterial street, there
shall be a reverse frontage with screening and an additional fifteen (15) foot rear
or side yard setback requirement. Access from a reverse frontage lot to an
adjacent arterial roadway is prohibited.

line. The minimum width of streets so measured shall be:
For local or minor streets -- sixty (60) feet
For arterials or major streets -- conform to major street plan, in accordance with
the BMPO Access Management Plan, July 2012
Page 2 of 19 SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS REVISED 05-18-2023
Ammon City Council 12.21.2023Page 67 of 113
Minimum width of roadway (face to face of curb) shall be, unless otherwise
approved under the direction of the City Engineer:
For local or minor streets forty-eight (48) feet
For arterials or major streets -- conform to major street plan, in accordance with
the BMPO Access Management Plan, July 2012
5. Dead-end streets, designed to be so permanently, shall not be longer than four
hundred (400) feet and shall be provided at the closed end with a turn-around
with a pavement edge diameter and right-of-way diameter as follows:
A. If the turn-around is constructed with curb and gutter, the right-of-way shall
be a minimum of one hundred (100) feet in diameter with a pavement edge
diameter of a minimum ninety-six (96) feet;
6. Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles,
and no street shall intersect any other street at less than eighty (80) degrees.
7. Minor streets shall be so laid out that their use by through traffic will be
discouraged.
8. The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make reasonable provisions
for the continuation of the principal existing streets in adjoining subdivisions, or
their proper projections when adjoining property is not subdivided. The street and
alley arrangements must also be such as to cause no hardship to owners of
adjoining property when they plat their land and seek to provide for convenient
access thereto. This arrangement must also provide for continuing a reasonable
number of through utility lines.
9. Minimum street grades of four-tenths percent (0.4%) will be required, with the
maximum grade being eight and three-tenths percent (8.3%) for arterials, major,
local, or minor streets. Where the observance of this standard is impossible, the
Engineer shall review the situation before an exception may be granted.
10. All streets and alleys shall be completed to the grades, which have been officially
approved or determined by the Engineer, as shown upon approved plans and
profiles.
11. Where street lines within a block deflect from each other at any one (1) point more
than ten degrees (10°), there shall be a connecting curve. The radius of the curve
for the inner street line shall not be less than seven hundred (700) feet for an
arterial or major street, and fifty (50) feet for local or minor streets.
12. Curbs at street intersections shall be rounded with curves having a minimum radius
of twenty-five (25) feet, for minor streets, but for arterials or major streets it shall
be a minimum of thirty-five (35) feet, or greater as required by the City Engineer.
Page 3 of 19 SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS REVISED 05-18-2023

13. Street name signs shall be erected by the subdivider in accordance with City
standard specifications.
14. Sidewalks shall be a minimum of five (5) feet in width and may be required to be
wider in areas near shopping centers, schools or where pedestrian traffic may
warrant a greater width.
15. Under certain circumstances, residential areas may be allowed to be developed
without curb and gutter. When recommended by the City Engineer and the
Planning and Zoning Director, the City Council may allow development under
specific term and specifications. All exclusions to the requirement of curb and
gutter and the required specifications shall be set within a development agreement
for each subdivision or division thereof.
(B) Alleys and Easements.
1. The minimum width of any dedicated alley shall be twenty (20) feet.

necessary, corners shall be cut off sufficiently, as determined and approved by
the City Engineer, to permit safe vehicular movement.
4. Dead-end alleys shall be prohibited.
(C) Blocks.
1. The length, widths, and shapes of blocks shall be determined with due regard to
adequate building sites suitable to the special needs of the type of use
contemplated; the zoning regulations, as to lot size and dimension; the need for
convenient access, circulation, control, and safety of street traffic; and the
limitations and opportunities of topography.
2. Block lengths shall not exceed thirteen hundred (1,300) feet and not less than four
hundred (400) feet.

Ammon City Council 12.21.2023Page 69 of 113
2. Side lines of lots shall be at right angles or radial to the street lines unless a
variation from the rule will give a better street and lot plan. All corner lots shall
have a minimum radius of twenty (20) feet on the property lines.
3. Double frontage lots shall be prohibited, except where unusual topography makes
it impossible to meet this requirement. No access will be granted to arterials or
major streets, in accordance with the BMPO Access Management Plan, July 2012.
4. All remnants of lots below minimum size left over after the subdividing of a larger
tract must be added to adjacent lots rather than allowed to remain as unusable
parcels.
(E) Each new subdivision plat shall provide for facilities for bicycles, pedestrians, and other
non-motorized modes of transportation. These facilities shall be provided as required by
a recommendation to the City Council by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Any
recommendation shall be made following the most current adopted version of the BMPO
Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan.
1. Trails within a subdivision may with a recommendation from the Planning and
Zoning Commission allow the system to be integrated as part of the required
sidewalk system. This allowance would require the widening of the required
sidewalks to accommodate bicycles and other non-motorized modes of
transportation.
2. As part of the review for trails, consideration shall be given to connection to
existing and/or future trails, to allow for connectors to schools, parks,
neighborhoods, transportation, and commercial areas, as shown in the most
current version of the BMPO Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan.
3. To allow for connectivity between neighborhoods with back-to-back cul de sacs a
walking path to connect the neighborhoods will be required.

subdivider shall participate in a preapplication interview to enable the City to review and
comment on the proposed subdivision. Such discussions should cover the general objectives of
the subdivision, platting procedures and requirements, and potential plans for a development
agreement.

CHAPTER 40
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS
SECTION:
10-40-1: Applicability
10-40-2: Classes of Development Agreements
10-40-3: Limitations
10-40-4: Application Procedures
10-40-1: APPLICIBILITY: At its sole discretion, the City Council may require conditions in
a Development Agreement specific to the land use request that exceeds or supplements the
underlying zoning requirements. Any restrictions or conditions required by the City Council are
intended to maintain and enhance the public health, safety, and general welfare of current and
future residents of the community and to ensure the financial stability of the City of Ammon to
carry out all required public services for the new development while not compromising City of
Ammon infrastructure and the level of service to existing residents and businesses.
10-40-2: CLASSES OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS: The following two classes of
development agreements may be utilized to make a contractual commitment concerning the use
or development of a subject parcel. Both classes are referred to as Development Agreements
but have different statutory requirements.
1. Standard Development Agreement (SDA). As a condition of approval for any land
use decision or land use activity, with the exception of rezone applications, the City
Council may require the applicant to enter into a Standard Development Agreement with
the City of Ammon. A request to enter into a Standard Development Agreement for a
subject property may be submitted by the applicant or required by the Commission, the
City Council, or by the City Administrator, including the Planning and Zoning Director, or
City Engineer, at any time prior to final approval. A Standard Development Agreement is
a binding contract between the City of Ammon and the owner or developer of a property.
Failure of the developer or land owner to comply with the terms of the Standard
Development Agreement will result in immediate issuance of stop orders for the
development and in the immediate prohibition in the issuance of any additional building
permits or certificates of occupancy. Said Standard Development Agreement may
include various special conditions specific to the development. Public notice or public
hearing is not required for adoption or modification of a Standard Development
Agreement unless otherwise required by law.
2. Conditional Rezone Agreement (CRA). Conditional Rezone Agreements are
subject to Idaho Code Section 67-6511A. Pursuant to Idaho Code Section 67-6511, the
City Council may require a Conditional Rezone Agreement as a condition of rezoning
any property. A request to enter into a Conditional Rezone Agreement for the subject
property may be submitted by the applicant or required by the Commission, the City
Council, or the Administrator, including the Planning and Zoning Director, or City
Page | 1 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS 04-21-2022
Ammon City Council 12.21.2023Page 112 of 113
Engineer, at any time prior to final approval of the rezone. A Conditional Rezone
Agreement is a contract between the City of Ammon and the owner or developer of a
property within the City of Ammon. Failure of the developer or land owner to comply
with the terms of the Conditional Rezone Agreement will result in immediate revocation
of the rezone and in the issuance of stop orders for the development and in the
immediate prohibition in the issuance of any additional building permits or certificates of
occupancy. Notice is required for all Conditional Rezone Agreements, pursuant to Idaho
Code 67-6511A.
10-40-3: LIMITATIONS:
1. Subject to Underlying Zoning. A development agreement shall not be used to
waive, reduce, relax, or otherwise minimize any underlying zoning restrictions that are
required by ordinance. The proposed use shall meet all land-use requirements of the
underlying zoning district in addition to any Standard Development Agreement or
Conditional Rezone Agreement with any special conditions thereto. Any discretionary
conditions as applied shall be in addition to the zone's minimum requirements.
2. Subsequent Actions. A Standard Development Agreement or a Conditional Rezone
Agreement shall not prevent the city, in subsequent actions applicable to the property,
from applying new standards, regulations, or policies that do not conflict with
commitments applicable to the property as set forth within a duly executed agreement.
3. Encumbrance. The property owner(s), co-property owner(s), developer(s), agent(s)
of property owner or developer, assignee(s) of property owner(s) or developer(s) and all
subsequent property owners or developers of the real property that is encumbered by
any class of Development Agreement shall comply with all conditions, terms, obligations,
and duties contained in said agreement. Failure to comply shall result in immediate
revocation of the rezone and in the issuance of stop orders for the development and in
the immediate prohibition in the issuance of any additional building permits or certificates
of occupancy.
4. Modification and Termination. Any class of Development Agreements may be
amended at the discretion of the City Council. All classes of Development Agreements
may be conditioned to expire after a prescribed time limit authorized by the City Council.
10-40-4: APPLICATION PROCEDURES: A request for any class of Development
Agreement must be filed with the City of Ammon on the official form as provided by the
Administrator. All items as identified on the official application form must be submitted. After
reviewing the application, the Administrator shall determine whether the application is complete.
