Idaho Falls is now sharing training from Idaho Smart Growth as part of their Citizens Planning Academy. The program teaches basics about land use law, development basics, and how to participate effectively. CLICK HERE for links to the sessions.
The mission of the Agency is “To strengthen the tax base and promote the successful growth and development of the City of Idaho Falls by using, when necessary, tax increment financing to facilitate the construction of publicly owned infrastructure, giving due consideration to that which promotes and enhances the Snake River Greenbelt and encourages desirable land uses near that Greenbelt.”
The Planning Division works with the Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, and City Council to administer the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance.
Comprehensive planning is a process that determines community goals and aspirations in terms of community development. The result is called a comprehensive plan and both expresses and regulates public policies on transportation, utilities, land use, recreation, and housing.
