NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Bonner County Commissioners will hold a public hearing at 10:00 AM on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, in the Bonner County Administration Building, 1500 Highway 2, Sandpoint, Idaho, by Zoom teleconference, and YouTube Livestream to consider the following request: File AM0021-25 – Modification to the Area of Impact for the City of Oldtown: Bonner County has proposed to modify the Area of City Impact (AOI) for the City of Oldtown pursuant to Idaho Code §§ 67-6509 and 67-6526. The proposed AOI modification has been initiated as a result of recent changes to Idaho Code, which requires initial AOI modifications to be completed by December 31, 2025 and updated every 5 years thereafter. This notice is provided to inform you that your property lies within the boundaries of the proposed AOI. The AOI is a planning tool used to help the city project future growth planning. Idaho law requires each city to identify an area where it expects to grow over time. The AOI helps guide planning efforts but it does not grant the city any governing authority over your property. Being within the AOI does not mean your property is being annexed into the city. Being within the AOI does not change your property’s zoning or current land use regulations, and it does not affect your taxes. ** Written statements must be submitted to the planning department record no later than seven (7) days prior to the public hearing. Written statements not exceeding one standard letter sized, single spaced page may be submitted at the public hearing. Statements can be sent to the Bonner County Planning Department at 1500 Highway 2, Suite 208, Sandpoint, Idaho 83864; faxed to (866) 537-4935 or e-mailed to [email protected].
