Chapters 1 and 2. An Ordinance of Bonner County, Idaho, amending the Bonner County Revised Code, Title 12 as follows: 12-122 (Planning Commission): Expands and clarifies the Planning Commission’s jurisdiction to include holding quasi-judicial hearings for applicant-initiated Comprehensive Plan map amendments. Previously, the Commission’s authority was limited to legislative actions such as recommending amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, zoning map, and land use ordinances. 12-123 (Zoning Commission): The proposed change removes language allowing the Zoning Commission to appoint a Hearing Examiner, clarifying that appointments to that role are made by the Board of County Commissioners. The Zoning Commission retains responsibility for quasi-judicial hearings for applicant-driven land use requests. 12-131 (Complaints of Violation): Establishes that all zoning complaints must be submitted on a standard form provided by the Planning Department. This helps formalize the complaint intake process, ensures consistency in documentation, and provides clear guidance on how to initiate enforcement actions. 12-214, 12-217, 12-224, 12-235, 12-247 (Noticing Procedures): Revises public notice language across these sections to reference Section 12-268 ensuring consistent application of notice standards. 12-232 (Variance Definitions): Clarifies the definition and scope of a variance, aligning it with bulk, placement, and parcel standards only. 12-238 (Administrative Variances): Revises the threshold for administrative variances from 30% to 20%, narrowing the scope of what can be approved without a public hearing. It also updates noticing procedures to follow Section 12-268. 12-247 (Special Use Permits): Aligns public hearing notice procedures with Section 12-268 and clarifies that the review of special use permits is conducted by the appropriate decision-making body, such as the Zoning Commission or Hearing Examiner. This provides consistency in how such applications are processed and reviewed. 12-261 (Administrative Appeals): Adds clarity to the process and timeframes for appealing administrative decisions made by the Planning Director. It formalizes the procedure for scheduling appeal hearings before the Board of County Commissioners. 12-262 (Appeals from Final Decisions): Expands the procedural framework for appealing final decisions from the Zoning Commission or Hearing Examiner. New language addresses how to handle tie votes or lack of quorum, specifying that failure to take affirmative action results in denial of the appeal and affirms the underlying decision. 12-263 (Reconsideration): New language addresses how to handle tie votes or lack of quorum, specifying that failure to take affirmative action results in denial of the appeal and affirms the underlying decision. 12-266 (Modification of Terms): Clarifies noticing standards and decision timelines to ensure consistent decision making and notice standards. 12-268 (Application Process): Centralizes all public notice and application processing standards into one section. It incorporates Idaho Code 67-6509 and 67-6511 by reference, requires an additional 15 days of notice beyond state minimums, and introduces a zone-specific mailing radius table to ensure proportional outreach. The section also adds a 45-calendar day timeline for the County to issue written decisions after final action.
