512 Group LLC has applied for a city recommendation to add a house in downtown Boise to the National Register of Historic Places.
The house at 512 W. Idaho St. was built in 1895, according to the 2014 book “Becoming Basque: Ethnic Heritage on Boise’s Grove Street.” Jose Uberuaga and his wife, Felipa, turned it into a Basque boarding house in 1903.
Jose Uberuaga later built a handball court behind the house, known as the Star Rooming House. In 1915, Francisco and Gabina Aguirre took over ownership of the house, which also served as a shoe repair shop. By 1923, the city directory listed 54 boarders.
A virtual hearing before the city Historic Preservation Commission is scheduled at 6 p.m. Monday, Jun 29. The meeting will be streamed on the Zoom meeting platform.

Mare Humeston and neighbors are seeking an appeal of the Boise Planning and Zoning Commission’s approval of a conditional use permit to build 15 multifamily units and a single-family home at 4831 N. Five Mile Road.

The request for appeal also alleges that the commission didn’t comply with the Local Land Use Planning Act by doing no analysis “that 15 units could burden the neighborhood.”
The Boise City Council is scheduled to hear the appeal at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 9, at Boise City Hall. Those wishing to testify remotely can do that by registering at https://www.cityofboise.org/virtual-meetings.

The American Bar Association has approved the transfer of ownership for Concordia University School of Law in Boise from Concordia University in Portland, Oregon, to Concordia University in St. Paul, Minnesota. The action allows the law school to retain its ABA accreditation and smooth the transition between the law school and its new parent institution.
Concordia Law School, which opened in 2012, obtained full ABA accreditation in 2019. In February, the school announced it would shift its affiliation to Concordia University St. Paul after Concordia University in Portland said it was closing because of financial problems.
The Portland university has been sued by students who say Concordia officials knew of the school’s worsening financial situation but did not tell students who lost tuition money and other fees.
Concordia has also been sued for $302 million by Hotchalk, a California company that operated the school’s online education program. It claims Concordia improperly recorded new property deeds in February giving the university’s parent, the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, a security interest in the school’s land in Portland and where the law school is located at 501 W. Front St.
