JB Earl Co., a Utah-based developer, is seeking a conditional use permit to build 235 multifamily apartments and 11,000 square feet of commercial space on 5.4 acres at 7201 W. Fairview Ave. That would involve the redevelopment of what is now a Burlington Coat Factory and a Big O Tires.

Boise’s Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to consider a request to allow the construction of student apartments on Boise Avenue at Protest Road that have drawn opposition from some neighbors.
The Collegiate Development Group has proposed 194 apartments with 537 beds at 1909 and 2001 W. Boise Ave., near Boise State University.
A proposed conditional use permit would allow the developer to exceed the maximum height allowed adjacent to residential properties. That would make way for certain architectural features.
The request includes rezoning 3.3 acres from C-1D (general commercial with design review) and R-2 (medium density residential) to R-OD/DA (residential office with design review and development agreement).
A public hearing will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 10, at Boise City Hall, 150 N. Capitol Blvd.

Utah-based Fig Village is seeking a conditional use permit for a planned 108-unit multifamily development at 511 N. Maple Grove Road, at the southwest corner of Maple Grove and Emerald Street. It is also seeking a rezone of the 5.16 acres the project would sit on from M-1D (light industrial design with design review) to C-1D/DA (neighborhood commercial with design review and development agreement). Developers say that change would better reflect the area, which is near Boise Towne Square Mall.
The Boise Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a hearing on the development at 6 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 10, at Boise City Hall, 150 N. Capitol Blvd.

The Boise Airport has a new welcome center, the Idaho Business Review reports.
The center is a large round counter and display to the right of the northernmost doors on the ground floor of the terminal, just around the corner by the rental car counters. It features brochure space, a ceiling-to-floor panorama of Boise from the air, and a continuous video of tourism opportunities.
“Over the next few months, we will be expanding and installing an informational kiosk,” said Carrie Westergard, executive director of the Boise Convention and Visitors Bureau, at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Jan. 15. “The welcome center will not staffed all of the time, but we will also be staffing it when there are special events in Boise.”

Meridian
The Meridian City Council has approved a developer’s plan to change the planned use of the northeast corner of Ten Mile and West McMillan roads so that senior apartments can be built there, the Idaho Business Review reports.
The council voted 6-0 to modify a 2008 development agreement that called for five or more commercial buildings on the 14-acre parcel. Northwest Development Co., of Meridian, wants to build four-story senior housing on the site, which is owned by Prime Desert Properties of Victorville, California.
Some neighbors objected, citing concerns about traffic, noise and obstructed views. Matt Naumann, a real estate agent advising Northwest, said the apartments would contribute less traffic and noise than the earlier plan. “A senior (building) does not have near the traffic flow that a regular apartment (building) does,” he said.

Around Idaho
The Idaho Department of lands has paid $355,000 to a McCall man who had leased 28 acres of state land fronting Payette Lake for an event center, reports The Star-News in McCall.
The payment was compensation to Travis Leonard after the state land board rescinded the lease following public protests over how it was advertised. The payment ends eight months of negotiations between the state and Leonard after his lease for an event center called “The Lookout on the Lake” was rescinded by the land board last April.
In the settlement agreement, Leonard cites $2.1 million in lost profits over the 10-year life of the lease, plus $62,000 in work already done at the site, like logging and grading.
