M. by Mayor Keith C. with the following City Officials present: Mayor Keith C. Turnbow Councilman Russell N. 'Swensen Councilman Marvin J. Anderson Councilman Brent Hirschi Councilman Gerald B. Cheney Turnbow, Clerk Deon Hemingway Asst. Attorney Franklin Smith Engineer David Benton Planning Commission Members - Harvey Crandall Tom Chriswell I Also present were Rolfe Lines of the Bonneville Council of Governments and six Boy Scouts. Prayer was offered by Councilman Anderson. The minutes of the meeting of September 17, 1975, were approved as typed. A review of the new State Land Use Law, PL 1094, 'which has been in effect since July 1, 1975, was presented by Rolfe Lines of BCOG. Several items which the City officials should take special note of are as follows: A compre- hensive plan must be approved by the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commision before January 1, 1977. After the plan is reviewed, a public hearing will have to be held before the Planning and Zoning Commission, with the first advertising to be 21 d~ys before the hearing and three publications required. Then the City Council is to review the pl~ns and hold a hearing. The City will have to determine areas of City impact and meet with the County and the City of Idaho Falls to make proposals and resolve any differences with them. There cannot be overlapping areas of impact. Prior to January 1, 1978, the Planning Commission will have to review and revise the subdivision ordinance and zoning ordinance to conform with the new law, or if these Qrdinances already conform, they should be . gone over and re-affirmed. The land use map can only be amended two times a year, so there could be up to six months of waiting for those who want to have I changes made. Hearings on any changes on the land use map or the zoning ordinance are to be held before the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council (this may be changed back to only one hearing). These procedures insure that there will be no hurried actions that might not be understood and brought out to the public. Mayor Turnbow expressed appreciation to Mr. Lines for coming to review the new law, and Mr. Lines offered to meet with the Planning and Zoning Commission again at their next meeting on October 21, at which time he could bring a graph showing a time schedule of things that need to be done to conform to the new State Land Use Law.
