UPCOMING EVENTS

30TH STREET URBAN RENEWAL AREA ELIGIBILITY REPORT

This Report documents conditions in the area recommended for inclusion in the boundaries of the 30th Street Urban Renewal Project Area (“30th Street Project Area”, “Urban Renewal Project Area” or “Project Area”), which will support the required finding that the Project Area is “deteriorated” or “deteriorating”. This finding must be made before the City Council of the City of Boise (“City Council”) and gives further consideration to approval of the Project or adoption of an Urban Renewal Plan (“Plan”).

Upon adoption of a resolution finding that the Project Area is deteriorated or deteriorating, the City Council may direct CCDC to prepare an Urban Renewal Plan. Upon completion of the Plan, CCDC would transmit the Plan to the City Council and the City Council would refer the Plan to the Boise City Planning and Zoning Commission (“Commission”). The Commission would review the Plan and make a determination on its conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. If the Plan is in conformance, the City Council would then hold a public hearing and take action to either approve the Project and the Plan, and create a corresponding Revenue Allocation Area, by ordinance or elect not to approve the Project.
