Click here for an update on the Interfaith Sanctuary proposal to move to 4306 W State Street. This update covers the below items:

• An update on the project
• Neighborhood concerns
• Take the survey
• Write Letters to P&Z and City Council
• Attend and Speak at the hearing
• How to donate

Your written comments are due in to Planning and Zoning by November 12:

Send an e-mail to the following:zoninginfo@cityofboise.org

Also Email City Council and the Mayor:
• City Council –  citycouncil@cityofboise.org
• Elaine Clegg – eclegg@cityofboise.org
• Lisa Sanchez – lsanchez@cityofboise.org
• TJ Thomson – tjthomson@cityofboise.org
• Holly Woodings – hwoodings@cityofboise.org
• Jimmy Hallyburton – jhallyburton@cityofboise.org
• Patrick Bageant – pbageant@cityofboise.org
• Mayor McLean’s Email Address: mayormclean@cityofboise.org

You are welcome to copy us at:vpnaboise@gmail.com

Reference CUP21-00026 in your e-mail, and state whether you support or oppose the application.

You are welcome to use the talking points listed in the Neighborhood Concerns in the update, but we strongly encourage you to use your own words and share your own experiences for maximum impact.

Ideally, comments will relate to the review criteria:
1) is the location compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood?;
2) will the use place an undue burden on transportation and other public facilities in the vicinity?;
3)Is the site large enough to accommodate the proposed use?;
4) Will the proposed use adversely impact other property in the vicinity?;
5) Is the proposed use in compliance with Boise’s Comprehensive Plan?

Attend the Planning & Zoning meeting on November 15, and testify. Bring your neighbors.
(Sign ups will be available around the beginning of October. We anticipate the meeting will go very long; your testimony can be very brief if you’d like – name, address, and support/oppose position. We’d like to have a huge turn out.)

*Note, the planning and zoning decision will likely be appealed, either way, and the project will then be presented at City Council at least one month later. It could also take a few months to get on the City Council calendar. To testify at City Council, you must have provided written or oral testimony to Planning & Zoning as well. Plan to attend when the meeting is scheduled!
