Boise’s zoning code re-write

Boise's zoning code has not been updated since the 1960's, and some exciting new changes are being proposed. I'm supportive of the changes which I believe will create more right-sized housing for people, and result in more affordability.

The code re-write does allow for more density in certain areas which for some people is a hard pill to swallow, but as our population grows, the alternative is to continue to sprawl into our beloved open spaces and farmland, as well as increasing challenges with affordability and traffic.

Check out the City of Boise's modern zoning code's executive summary and use the conversion map to see improvements in your area. Neighbors for Boise has resources and zoning 101 info for those who want to learn more about zoning!
