Welcome! The City of Rexburg, Idaho is working to update its Comprehensive Plan (the Plan). This website will serve as a home base for participation, important information, and project updates. Our tools and pages will be updated as we move through this process, so check in often, register with your email for updates, and share this site with your neighbors!

What’s the Comprehensive Plan Update?

The Comprehensive Plan (the Plan) is a community-informed policy document that considers many facets of the community, including but not limited to: how to respond to growth; ensure orderly land use and development patterns; where major infrastructure and facilities should be anticipated; resource allocation; economic development; park and open space planning; and regional coordination. The updated Plan will ensure that policies and programs accommodate the challenges and opportunities associated with growth; and support the City in to being “America’s Family Community.”

This planning process is anticipated to last 12 months. The timeline below indicates some of the milestones and outreach events anticipated for each phase:

unknown author3 years ago According to the Phase 1 summary, the city is taking action to get input into the next version of the comprehensive plan. As stated "Assess the need for a Cost of Community Services Study to determine and raise awareness about the public service costs versus revenues based on different housing types (e.g., single-family vs. multifamily) and other land uses". I appreciate these steps being taken in developing a new plan. My question is how will the city ensure that long-term residents have a prominent say in these kinds of studies? Transient or temporary residents should not unduly influence long-term city plans. I support the need for mixed use housing, affordable housing and university supported housing. I hope to influence my neighbors and friends to join these conversations so that city planners are hearing from long-time, and long-term home owners about future land-use plans. Also in the phase 1, it states that "For residents, the Comprehensive Plan will identify community character elements and locations for future housing, parks, trails, community facilities, etc.". We need assurances that the “community character” is maintained and preserved with long-term enforcement of zoning definitions, not to allow outside developers to create a patchwork or spot zoning situations in established single-family home neighborhoods.

unknown author4 years ago I didn’t expect to leave that meeting feeling like the city employees and the developer thought I was an ignorant idiot that didn’t want to see any growth come to Rexburg. I guess I should have seen the setup coming when those running the meeting wouldn’t give us any real education on the matter before telling us to figure out visually where to put projected growth. I didn’t expect city employees to tell us that our plans were way off base and couldn’t viably be done. It was probably on me that I couldn’t determine what acreage each Lego block (representing different densities of dwellings) would take up on map that was not to scale … in 30 minutes. And that I wasn’t taking into account the bottom line of these developers that are gracing us with their presence and services in Rexburg. I would love to look at this deeper and would welcome the city providing much more “education” and a chance for good feedback before moving on to phase 3 of this plan. Wouldn’t it be great if someone was to sit down and explain something thoroughly instead of scoffing and probably moving in a direction they think is best despite any concerns or hopes expressed?

unknown author3 years ago As the population of Rexburg grows, the Planning and Zoning Department will continue to receive zoning change requests along with proposed developments. When such requests and proposals are made, I know that certain policies must be followed in terms of publicizing them. Such was the case in a recent public hearing regarding a re-zoning request for a 15-acre parcel of undeveloped property located between Eaglewood and Harvest Heights. Residents located within 300-feet of this acreage received a letter, and several notices in a 8.5” x 11” plastic folder were affixed to a 4’ stake implanted in the ground at the edge of the property along E 7th South. The proposed change also appeared in the minutes of the Planning and Zoning Commission, and I assume that a notice was published in a newspaper. The purpose of these efforts was to give those living close to the parcel an opportunity to provide feedback regarding the proposed change.My daily walk includes a stretch along E 7th South, including the southern border of the acreage mentioned in the preceding paragraph. One day in November, as I was walking by the acreage for which a re-zoning request was to be made, I saw the 4’ stake in the ground, and attached to it was a plastic folder containing a notice (on letter-sized paper) inviting public input. I was surprised by the “low profile” of this signage. At the time, the wind was blowing and the plastic folder (which had not been attached at the bottom) had flipped up and was covering the letter-sized notice. In areas where we have lived previously (Colorado and Washington), large signs are posted announcing proposed zoning changes (as well as proposed developments) in inviting public comment. I am attaching images of several examples in Colorado. I believe that large signage is a “good practice” since it conveys a posture of openness to residents. My gentle suggestion is the Rexburg Planning and Zoning Department consider adopting this practice.

unknown author3 years ago I appreciate all the Comp Plan team is doing. As was recently brought up in a Planning and Zoning meeting, the city is lacking on community input. Judging by the lack of attendance in the meetings and only 16 people being involved in this phase (according to this website), what is the city's plan to get more involvement? I know it was stated that a notice was sent out in the utility bill letter. It makes me extremely nervous that decisions are being proposed/made without more of the citizens being involved. If the attendance is this low, I would assume that the city is trying to figure out a better way to communicate this to its citizens. What is the plan moving forward to get people involved? I bet it is safe to say that 95% of the residents have no idea this is going on.

unknown author3 years ago A compressive map should incorporate contiguous zoning. The continuity would be achieved by having no more than one step between zoning classifications of adjacent areas. An example is the most recent zoning proposal to make vacant land at 7th south and 5th east into MDR even though the property is surrounded by zoning which is LDR1 or RR1.Should develop zoning to specify owner occupied homes in a zone versus zoning that include properties that are strictly built to be income generating (non owner occupied). Both types are needed but not necessarily within all neighborhoods.

unknown author3 years ago The land on 7th south & 5th east (recently rejected for a zone change) needs to be designated as owner-occupied LDR The compressive map needs to have contiguous zoning. We don’t want spot zoning, or a patchwork of different zones in an area. The city needs to remove wide zoning definitions for undeveloped land. Enforcement of transitional (or gradual) zoning policies is needed. No more than 1 step between transition zones. The ~168+ acre of agricultural land directly east of the temple needs to be designated LDR, owner-occupied homes RPRXBCA0323007REXBURG HILL PROPERTIES LLC111.92 Acres is currently designated LDR1 and needs to stay that wayRPR6N40E322403REXBURG HILL PROPERTIES LLC35.4 Acres is currently designated LDR1 and needs to stay that wayRPRXBCA0320620SMITH RICHARD F 22.407 Acres. The comprehensive plan currently shows this as being considered for a move to commercial and moderate to high density residential. This would be a big mistake. Please make the change back to RR2 as it is currently. The transition should not be allowed in this area because there is not sufficient transition zone and is not in keeping with the area. It would be the very patchwork zoning that should be avoided.With Respect to- RP06N40E320001KAUER PROPERTIES LLC75 Acres that is currently for sale. This needs to remain RR2 or LDR1 like the properties that it is contiguous with.We would like to see more parks and walking trail plans in southeast Rexburg

unknown author3 years ago With the future of Rexburg in mind, the Comprehensive Plan should Promote medium and high-density housing development and redevelopment by infilling parcels close to BYU-I campus and downtown. Encourage building new medium and high-density housing above downtown businesses within walking distance to campus thereby creating a vibrant and flourishing downtown area. Protect existing low-density single family home neighborhoods by enforcing and maintaining contiguous LDR1 zones. Include plan for a walking, bicycle, ski trail system that connects the city thereby reducing future traffic congestion.

unknown author3 years ago I added these thoughts as a comment to another post, but I want to make this a stand-alone comment as well.....When the city has a major effort to set long-term strategy, relying on the newspaper or local radio is ineffective. I was surprise that there was not large signage on the 5th east & 7th south property related to the zoning change in November. I have to think that alternative communication channels can be used to reach all citizens, but especially impacted citizens when any results would impact property value. Does the city maintain a list of HOA leaders that can be contacted and used as a communication channel?Could the city engage with ecclesiastical leaders (who are organized by well defined geographies) and let them know that potential changes are coming to their respective neighborhoods? I think any church congregation would be interested in getting involved with community planning and improvement programs.

unknown author3 years ago Admittedly, this idea/plea/request is a selfish one. But I have loved the open spaces in the towns/subdivisions/neighborhoods where I have lived. Before moving to Rexburg a few months ago, we lived in Liberty Lake, Washington. I absolutely loved the fact that Liberty Lake’s Comprehensive Plan included a significant amount of open/green space, especially in residential areas. In particular, the subdivision where we lived (Legacy Ridge) there was quite a bit of open space through which there was about 3 miles of paved pathways. Additionally, our subdivision was adjacent to a large nature conservancy (The Saltese Uplands Conservancy) with several miles of trails that I hiked each day. After moving to Rexburg, I found the trail that runs along the South Fork of the Teton River. I include this scenic section of Rexburg on my daily hikes, and absolutely love it. It significantly contributes to my quality of life.As the process of updating the Comprehensive Plan moved forward, I encourage city planners to include as much open/green space as possible. I realize that this is costly. Undeveloped land on which dwelling units can be constructed will appear to offer a better return for investment (from a developer’s perspective), but I encourage Rexburg city planners to view the allocation of open/green space as an “investment” and not as a cost. For many residents like myself, having natural areas interspersed through the city – with access via walking/biking trails – represents a significant factor contributing to the quality of life.With the foregoing in mind, I offer a suggestion. The trail that runs along the South Fork of the Teton River could actually be extended east along Barney Dairy Road, south through the Hidden Valley subdivision, and then up through a ravine so that it intersects with E 7th South. I am attaching an image to illustrate this suggested trail route.

unknown author3 years ago Admittedly, as a new resident of Rexburg I am joining the "Plan Rexburg" process near the end of phase 2 (Opportunities and Choices). Nevertheless, I wanted to share some thoughts regarding a Mission Statement and a Vision Statement (two key elements undergirding a city's comprehensive plan) based on what some of the the things I have read so far.A suggested Mission Statement: "Provide services with integrity by enhancing relationships with residents, BYU-Idaho, and businesses, which focus on quality of life, families, the environment, and economic vitality."A suggested Vision Statement: "The City of Rexburg will maintain an environment that preserves and enhances natural surroundings through the harmony of planned architectural design and green space. The Rexburg community will achieve its quality of life by creating a safe, friendly environment in which community involvement promotes recreational opportunities and civic pride. The City of Rexburg encourages and promotes a supportive environment for families as well as a progressive business environment and ensures a prosperous and financially secure community."The "vision statement" anchoring a city's comprehensive plan is usually accompanied by a list of supporting "goals" and "policies". I do not feel qualified to comment on or suggest goals and/or policies related to governance, economic development, transportation, cultural resources, utilities, or capital facilities. But I will suggest a few goals and policies related to land use and housing. I will also share some thought regarding the characteristics of aging-friendly communities.Suggested Land Use Goals: Provide a healthful, safe, and sustainable environment. Plan for future growth of the City in a cost effective manner while maintaining high quality public facilities and services. Encourage development that advances the City's identity ("America's Family Community"), provides transportation linkages, and supports a pedestrian-friendly environment. Locate medium and high density residential zones near shopping, health care, and transportation services. Suggested Land Use Policies: Encourage developers to work with neighborhoods to develop plans that address neighborhood concerns, such as environmental protection, aesthetics, quality of life, property values, and preservation of open space. Maintain design standards and a design review process to ensure that neighborhood and community centers are developed with minimal impact on surrounding land uses, are consistent with community character, and assure pedestrian and vehicular access Suggested Housing Goals: Preserve the character of existing neighborhoods via contiguous zoning, and support high quality new development. Encourage the availability of affordable housing to all economic segments, and encourage the preservation of existing housing stock. Suggested Housing Policies: Encourage residential developments that protect the environment, provide usable open space, and exhibit exceptional quality and design. Consider the balance between housing affordability, environmental quality, public resources/services, and the maintenance of neighborhood character. Encourage the development of residential areas so that open space, views, watersheds, and critical areas are permanently protected. I hope that the above comments contribute to the planning process in a helpful way.Clifton E. Barber489 Linden Ave., Rexburg, ID 83440(509) 230-2763clifton.barber@wisc.edu

unknown author3 years ago there are multiple buildings and locations across Rexburg that have been for rent or for lease for many years. A perfect example of this is the old Kmart location next to the old Cal ranch location. We moved to Rexburg over six years ago and there has been a for lease sign on that building for the entire time. the owner of this building hasn’t done anything to maintain the parking lot or the exterior of that building, and it does create an eyesore. It would be great to require that owners maintain their buildings in such a way that it is not distracting from the overall aesthetics of our city. Another great option, would be to have a restriction on the amount of time that a building can remain vacant If there are businesses that are willing to rent or lease the location. I have found that they set exorbitantly high prices on their leases in order to have a good tax write off, rather than setting the lease or rent on their location to be reasonable so businesses could economically afford to rent the location. Putting a policy in place such as this will allow for additional entrepreneurship in the community, and would increase the overall aesthetics for our city.

unknown author3 years ago as I currently understand it, we do not require developers to do impact studies prior to the approval of a plan for their ability to build in a specific area certain dwelling types. I think it would be much more effective for the city and transparent for residence if we did impact studies prior to any approval of development projects. This would allow for an accurate assessment of the true impact in terms of infrastructure requirements, traffic, water, etc. It does put additional work on the front end, but I feel that this would pay off in the long run by not having undesirable projects approved that impact our community negatively.

unknown author3 years ago The city comprehensive plan needs to support strategic placement of different types of housing and business for the growth of Rexburg. It should be done in a way that does not allow spot-zoning, requires appropriate growth of infrastructure to support added housing a business prior to added growth - this prevents the existing residents and businesses from suffering as more growth is added - we need to preserve single family housing areas as separate from student housing, business, and apartment housing to maintain a contiguous flow of housing types, we need to preserve and add park areas and not just add as many buildings as possible, we need parking to support the amount of business we have, and we need to include sit down restaurants and not just fast food restaurants, and we need some local artisan/gift shops in town (in the business area).The city needs to invite better business growth to the area to provide tax revenue to support infrastructure growth, maintain areas of LDR1 housing to provide desirable housing for those who will work for those businesses, thereby providing property tax revenue that will continue to support the infrastructure growth.

unknown author3 years ago The city of Rexburg should not allow developers to come in and purchase large areas of land that is zoned for a particular type of housing, and then have a flexibility to change it to whatever suits their economic needs. Often times, developers will submit a plan which has nothing to do with what their true intentions are, and then once it gets approved they change their overall plan in such a way as to create an undesirable environment for residences and the contiguous flow of housing and zoning units. If a developer purchases land that is zoned, for example, LDR1, they should have to submit a plan to which they are held accountable and must build their houses or other units exactly as described. They should not have the flexibility to submit a plan solely for the purpose of getting approval, and then have the ability to simply change it to meet their needs without any further discussion and or approval by the residences that are impacted by their plan.

unknown author3 years ago One of the values of an updated Comprehensive Plan will be to provide clearer vision for the zoning and development of currently vacant land, such as the acreage across from the Rexburg Temple. With this in mind, I suggest that input (for the updating of the Plan) can be derived not only from solicited feedback from residents as the end of Phase 2 nears, but also from reviewing the results of past P&Z public hearings. As an example, I refer to a 2011 re-zoning request and proposed development by Rexburg Hill Properties, LLC. The re-zoning request and proposed development centered on a 112 acres parcel of undeveloped land located directly east of the Rexburg Temple. The proposed development consisted of five tracts (listed below) and requested re-zoning for several of these tracts Note: A map of these tracts was included in the minutes, and is attached as an image file. Here are the tract descriptions in terms of zoning: Tract #1 No change from the current Low- Moderate Density Residential Tract #2 Change from Low-Moderate Density Residential to Moderate-High Density Residential Tract #3 Change from Low-Moderate Density Residential to Neighborhood Commercial/Mixed Use Tract #4 No change from the current Low-Moderate Density Residential Tract #5 Change from Low-Moderate Density Residential to Neighborhood Commercial/Mixed Use. The minutes of a Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing are available via the following link: https://laserfiche.rexburg.org/WebLink/ElectronicFile.aspx?docid=160368&dbid=0In these minutes, the proposed development was described as follows: The vision for the piece right across from the Temple would be for a private park, privately owned and maintained, for people to come and go. Photos were shown of how they envision the park to be. There would be lawns, landscaping, rocks, bridges, and waterfalls. It could even be called Proposal Park in conjunction with some of their other visions. It would be a place for people to come, relax, stroll, and enjoy the atmosphere. East of the park would be commercial – their vision is for a wedding reception and conference center. It would be of high quality, as Mr. Vandersloot’s developments have been. The third piece of this plan would be a buffer of single family homes around the park and the center; there would possibly be some complementary type of commercial, such as a flower shop or wedding shop, etc. They would anticipate and expect restrictions on the zoning for this type of commercial. There would be a buffer on 2nd East of about 80 feet in width. There would be multifamily housing on the south. The depression, or basin, in the land would facilitate this type of use and would provide for a very mixed community. They feel this is fitting place because of the topography of the area. The smaller section north of the multifamily housing and south of the single-family homes would be patio homes, requiring little maintenance, for seniors or retirees. The next piece would again be high density for snow birds or other retired people who want convenience of closeness. In the City’s Comprehensive Plan Map a Neighborhood Node is shown on the east of the subject property – there could be a business such a Jamba Juice or neighborhood grocery. The final piece to the east of the high density on Sunrise Drive would be a lot that would dedicated for an LDS Chapel.After reading the minutes for this meeting, I thought this was a good proposal. That said, I do not believe that the majority of public sentiment was in favor the requested zoning changes and proposed development. After carefully reading these public hearing comments and letters, I suggest four policies or guidelines that might be incorporated into an updated Comprehensive Plan. These are listed below. It is my opinion that if the aforementioned re-zoning request and proposed development had been part of the City's Comprehensive Plan at the time - and if the proposed development had adhered to these guidelines - the sentiment expressed by local residents might have been more favorable. 1. As much as possible, land use zoning for residential dwellings should be contiguous in order to preserve neighborhood feel and identity. Developments in LDR1 zones should be adjacent to other LDR1 developments. 2. When zone transitions are necessary, the should be gradual. For example, land use zoned LDR1 could be linked to LDR2 or perhaps LDR3, but not to MDR1 or MDR2. 3. In those instances where higher density dwelling units are constructed close to those with lower density, there should be a green or open space buffer. Ideally, this buffer could be a park. 4. Higher density zones should be located within walking distance of shopping and public transit.

unknown author3 years ago I only recently moved to Rexburg, so my acquaintance with the process of updating the City’s comprehensive plan is limited. Prior to our move, I knew (from news reports comparing data from the 2010 and 2020 US Census) that Madison County was among the fastest growing counties in Idaho. After our move, I dug a little deeper and found graphs illustrating the projected population growth and housing demand from the present to the year 2048 (image attached). The projected increase for both population growth and housing demand is significant, which underscores the need for careful planning. I also found information regarding two strategic goals that surfaced from community input during Phase I of Plan Rexburg: (a) Allow for a gradual transition between low-density and high-density neighborhoods, and (b) Promote a wide range of housing options for different family sizes, incomes, and lifestyles. I endorse both, but it is probably an understatement to say that land use and housing goals/policies/strategies aimed at balancing these two goals may be difficult to achieve in a plan that is appealing to all.With the foregoing I mind, I share the observation that population and housing growth in the small town (Liberty Lake WA) where we lived prior to moving to Rexburg was guided by a comprehensive plan that did a pretty good job of “marrying” these two goals. The subdivision where we lived was zoned R1; similar to LDR1 and RR2 here in Rexburg. Neighborhoods/subdivisions with the same zoning designation were contiguous. There were instances where a higher density residential development was adjacent to one zoned for lower density, but these were separated by open/green space. I do not believe that there was any instance where a higher density zone was surrounded by areas zoned for lower density, or vice versa. In most instances, the transition from a lower-density zone to a higher dwelling density zone was gradual and not abrupt. What I also liked about Liberty Lake was that higher density zones were located within walking distance to grocery stores, eating establishments, and public transit. I recommend the same approach for the City of Rexburg.Lastly, I share my observation that a key element contributing to the “feel” or “character” of a neighborhood is dwelling density. Because those living in low density zones tend to be more permanent than those living in higher density zones, the “feel” of a low-density neighborhood is different. For example, I take daily walks for exercise. In Liberty Lake, my daily walk included our own neighborhood, which was comprised of low-density, detached single-family dwelling units. One of the things I enjoyed was walking by houses where I knew the people who lived there. Even when I walked by houses where I did not personally know the residents, I often recognized them if they were out working in the yard and would wave. I realize that this is a selfish sentiment, but I loved this feeling of being “anchored” to my surroundings through familiarity with those who lived there. By contrast, when my daily trek took me past or through developments with higher density, this connection with residents was not present.

unknown author3 years ago I would like to propose that the plan allow for various sizes of lots and development similar that what we currently have. As "America's Community" I believe that the development should not only include BYUI apartments, but area for home and small properties of 1/2 to one acre.I elected to move to this area to enjoy what it has to offer. We currently live in the Willowbrook subdivision to allow us to have sufficient land for backyard enjoyment and storage of our RV. In our local area there are condiminiems, apartments, small home on .1 acres, our home on .5 acres and some homes on 1 acre or more. There have also been buffer areas established so that you move from larger lots to smaller lots in steps. I also like the idea of maintaining areas along Highway 20 which are somewhat less desirable for apartments and condo's. This layout was established many years ago and continues to be a reasonable and prudent solution. Developers always want smaller and smaller units that they can charge more and more for. This is not the desire of most local residents. Brent Harris has provided a spreadsheet that compares Rexurg with other similar communities. I would encourage the city planning process to highly consider the interests of those permanent residents who chose to live here and raise a family when making your plans for the future. BYUI is important to our community, but it is not the only need for the community.

unknown author4 years ago I have updated the spreadsheet, which I attached on 10/20/2022 to include some additional information: I have added the following: Information for the community of Rigby, ID. Total 2020 estimated population for each location. Vacancy information for Homeowner Units & Rental Units. Reference in the header to the Census Tables from which the information was gathered. Revision date in the footer. The vacancy rate information is interesting. The rental vacancy rate for Rexburg is 22.5% which is much higher than the other locations; and should definitely be considered when revising the Rexburg Comprehensive Plan.

unknown author3 years ago The land on 7th south & 5th east (recently rejected for a zone change) needs to be designated as owner-occupied LDR The compressive map needs to have contiguous zoning. We don’t want spot zoning, or a patchwork of different zones in an area. The city needs to remove wide zoning definitions for undeveloped land.

unknown author3 years ago When new apartment complexes are put in, the developers and owners of those apartments should be required to put in sufficient parking that all residents of the apartment complex can park on a parking lot at that place. Currently, there are apartment complexes that have 25 to 40% of parking spaces available for the total number of residents that can be there. The result of this is students park on the street and other locations throughout Rexburg. An example of this is the apartments which are located kitty corner from the temple and right across the street from the University. Frequently, students will have guests that come to stay with them, and rather than parking in the apartment parking lot where they will receive a ticket, they decide to park in the residential areas which are located directly adjacent to the apartment complex. This becomes particularly problematic when they are parking on the street during snow season and we cannot plow nor can the roads be cleared by the city. Apartment should be required to provide parking for students as well as their visitors so it does not flow over into other residential areas.
