A giant subdivision. New stores and offices. What’s coming to your neighborhood

The latest proposed developments, other construction projects and new businesses around the Treasure Valley:

Kuna

A team of Treasure Valley developers and real estate brokers, Dave Yorgason, Christopher Findlay and Pat Duynslager, applied for an annexation, planned unit development, preliminary plat, development agreement and design review for the first phase of a master-planned community called Spring Rock.

The 761-acre proposed development could bring 1,925 houses and 372 apartments to the eastern edge of Kuna, the Statesman previously reported.

The Spring Rock subdivision would include nearly 2,000 houses and 372 apartments on 761 acres on the eastern border of Kuna.

The Kuna Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing for the development on Tuesday, Jan. 14.

Boise

Southminster Presbyterian Church is seeking a permit for a 970-square-foot addition to the church at 6500 W. Overland Road. The church now has 14,335 square feet. The addition will be part of a remodeling project.

The Boise Planning and Zoning Commission has approved a request by Hawkins Cos. to rezone a portion of West Miller Street from R-ODD (residential office with downtown design review) to C-5DD (Central business with downtown design review overlay).

The two parcels are along the northwest corner of South 11th Street and Miller and an interior parcel on the south side of Miller. Hawkins is considering building a four-story building with 30 to 36 condominiums on the property it owns along 11th and Miller.

That land does not include a house at 1100 W. Miller St. owned by Teresa Hamblin. Based on Hawkins’ filings to the city of Boise, picture captions in two previous Statesman reports incorrectly said Hawkins owned her property. Hamblin says she has no plans to sell her two-story house.

The Boise Planning and Zoning Commission has voted unanimously to recommend approval of a South Boise Neighborhood Overlay District.

If approved by the City Council, the district will expand regulations on duplexes around Boise State University, allowing for a maximum of five bedrooms each. The proposal is a response to neighbors complaints about dorm-style duplexes with up to 10 rooms each (five in each unit) being built for the student rental market.

Parking perpendicular to the street in front of a handful of “duplexes” south and east of the Boise State University campus raised concerns.

The district would cover about 510 acres and roughly between Beacon Street, Division Avenue and Broadway Avenue, Ivywild Street, Federal Way and Protest Road, and a small stretch of Capitol Boulevard.

The shaded area is the proposed South Boise Neighborhood Overlay District, where additional restrictions would be placed on development of duplexes to limit the number of bedrooms a duplex could have.

Elizabeth Burgess is opening a 343-square-foot hair salon called Do or Dye at the Tolleth House, 132 E. State Ave., which was built in 1907 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

Renovations are expected to cost $11,000, according to a building permit.

Cottonwood Creek Behavioral Hospital, 2131 S. Bonito Way, has opened an Adolescent Unit.

Alpine State Bank has bought the former Mountain West Bank building at 4250 E. Fairview Ave., reports TOK Commercial (the new name announced Jan. 9 for Boise’s Thornton Oliver Keller Commercial Real Estate).

Ball Ventures Ahlquist, a Meridian developer, has applied to build a 10,000-square-foot medical office for Functional Medicine of Idaho at 2939 Excursion Lane, part of the Ten Mile Crossing subdivision off of Interstate 84 and Ten Mile Road.

The office is projected to cost $1.9 million, according to the building permit. This would be Function Medical’s third office in Idaho.

Nampa

M3 Cos. has applied to build 16 houses on 4 acres it owns next to the Red Hawk Golf Course.

M3 Cos., the owners of Red Hawk Ridge — a subdivision that surrounds a golf-course of the same name — want to build 16 single-family houses on a 4-acre parcel along Middleton Road between Iowa Avenue and West Greenhurst Road. M3 has asked the Nampa Planning and Zoning Commission to approve the development agreement, which now allows only apartments to be built there.

Pantera Market has applied to open its fourth store at 1315 2nd St. S., at the site of the former Furniture City building. The owners, Senen Aguilar-Campos and his son, Nestor, previously told the Statesman that they hoped to open the market by late fall 2019.

Adler Industrial, a real estate investment firm based in Woodland Hills, California, has applied to create seven industrial lots on 22 acres at 2102 N. Devlin Way, at the southwest intersection of East Karcher Road and Franklin Boulevard. In May 2019, Adler Industrial acquired over 80 properties previously owned by Van Auker Cos. of Meridian.

CTX Inc. will move its Spokane plant operations to a 79,000-square-foot building in Nampa, Colliers International reports. CTX makes custom modular and concrete buildings. Colliers said CTX aims to begin production early this year.

Forge Building Co. wants to annex 33 acres at 9778 E. Cherry Lane for an industrial and commercial business park.

Jacksons Food Stores has applied to open a new store at 1520 S. Middleton Road at the site of a former Gem Stop.
