The subject property is located adjacent to 26530 Noahs Landing Circle, Wilder and is further described as a portion of 03-3N-5W- NW, BM, Canyon County, Idaho. Background The subject property is a legal parcel that is currently zoned Rural Residential. A preliminary plat was approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) to create a five residential lot development in May 2007. The road, power and irrigation systems were installed for the development. No final plat was submitted and the preliminary plat approval expired. At the time of application for SD2006-331 the rural residential zone allowed for one acre lots. Currently the rural residential zone allows for two acre minimum average lot size. Analysis The subject property is zoned RR (Rural Residential). The property is designated as Residential on the Canyon County 2020 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (Exhibit 5). The property is located within the Homedale area of city impact. The city of Homedale is less than one mile to the southwest.

The subject property was approved for development of Noah s Landing Subdivision (SD2006-331) preliminary plat on 5/25/07 by the BOCC. Subdivision improvements were completed including the road, Noah s Landing Circle, and irrigation and power were installed to each lot. In 2007 the minimum lot size for the Rural Residential zone was one acre. The current owner of the property is proposing to complete the subdivision as designed and preliminarily approved in 2007. The subject property is in an area where significant residential development has occurred. The properties to the south and west of the subject property are currently zoned rural residential (Exhibit 3). There are residential, agricultural, commercial and light industrial uses in the area. Southwest District Health has expressed that they have no concerns with the development being completed as applied for in 2007 (Exhibit 11). Golden Gate Highway District (Exhibit 10) indicated that they had no objections to the rezone. STAFF REPORT Mike and Sherry Dudley Rezone RR to R1 RZ2019-0005 Page 1 of 2
