NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Bonner County Planning and Zoning Commission will hold public hearings at the following times on Thursday, July 14, 2005, in the Sandpoint Community Hall, 204 S. First Avenue, Sandpoint, Idaho, to consider the following requests:

6:00 P.M. - FILE AM84-05 - "THE SETTLEMENT" - AMENDMENT TO BONNER COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION - ANSELMO, ET AL. are requesting an amendment to the projected land use map from a designation of "Rural" to a designation of "Recreation" to allow for the development of +/-855 acres of land at a greater density than currently permitted. The land is located about 2 miles east of the City of Priest River and north of Highway 2 and includes land in portions of Sections 27, 28, 29, 32 and 33, all in Township 56 North, Range 4 West, B.M. The comprehensive land use map adopted in 1978 designated the majority of these five sections for development at a density of one unit per 5 acres. The "Recreation" designation calls for up to 3 units to the acre, multi-family dwellings, commercial uses, recreational vehicle parks, light and heavy industrial uses through conditional permits and mobile home parks. The Settlement is proposing a +/-500-dwelling unit development, golf course and associated utilities, amenities and recreational uses. An amendment to the comprehensive plan would be the first step toward obtaining approval for the proposed development, followed by future applications and public hearings for a zone change, planned unit development and subdivisions. The Planning and Zoning Commission at its regularly scheduled public hearing of June 1, 2005, continued this file to allow for further agency comment.
