Jerry discussed the Comp Plan and the fact that Jerry and Jon Botz were both on the P & Z Commission when the Plan was reviewed.  He discussed that in the Economic and Transportation sections of the Plan.  Jon commented that he did not know that they needed to state the fact that they considered the Comp Plan.

Jeff Kreyssig had a question, when you guys considered the Comprehensive Plan you considered it as written right here in this book. But in July of 2014 the state of Idaho passed legislation that requires the Planning and Zoning Commissions to specifically address under section (q) Public Airport facilities within their jurisdiction which is what we are working on and trying to get done.  He stated that in numerous places in the Idaho Airport Land Use Guidelines states that the Comp Plan must be done first and the ordinance follows. Jeff feels that the adoption of the clarification to the Board is putting the cart before the horse and wanted to know if Jon felt the same. Jon felt that it was pretty solid the way it was. Dwight explained that the Comp Plan was passed before the Zoning Ordinance was adopted.  Jeff went on to address private airports.

Jerry explained that the commission was clarifying the language as the Board had requested. Dwight again explained that the Comp Plan was passed before the Zoning Ordinance. The public tried to testify and were gaveled by the chairman.
