Notice is hereby given that a public hearing pursuant to Idaho Code and Boundary County code has been set for the Boundary County Board of County Commissioners at 2 p.m. Monday, May 6 at the Boundary County Annex, 6566 Main Street, Bonners Ferry, to consider the following:
FILE 23-0180, LAND USE CODE TEXT AMENDMENT, BOUNDARY COUNTY has initiated an amendment to its subdivision and zoning codes to repeal current Section 4 “Enforcement” of the Boundary County Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and adopt a new enforcement section establishing procedures, remedies, and penalties for addressing land use code violations.

The proposed new draft can be read here.
