The Board of County Commissioners and Planning & Zoning Commission meet once a month to review development applications. The applications that require a public hearing are Conditional Use permits, Development Agreements, Planned Communities, Subdivisions, Vacations, Variances, Zoning Map or Text Amendments, and Comprehensive Plan Amendments. All other applications are processed internally by our staff.
On this page you will find links to all public hearing documents, including agendas and hearing packets, a schedule of this year’s public hearings, and information about our planning and zoning commission. If you have any questions regarding upcoming hearings or would like to submit comment regarding an application, please contact our office.
Our hearings are broadcast via WebEx video conference. Members of the public have the option to submit written comments and/or watch the hearing via LiveStream instead of testifying or watching in person. Please note that all written testimony must be submitted by the close of business the Thursday prior to the hearing. To testify either in person or via WebEx, please fill out our public hearing testimony registration form. Please note that all people wanting to testify remotely via WebEx are required to register by the Monday prior to the hearing date. To see a list of the applications that will be heard at these hearings, please see the legal notices in the Idaho Statesman.
