What role does CCDC play in the entitlement process?
CCDC’s mission directs the agency to act as an advocate to implement urban renewal plans and revitalization initiatives and to create “vibrant urban environments” and “walkable urban places.” Additionally, Boise’s zoning ordinance requires design review applications for projects in the urban renewal districts to include written comment from CCDC and, therefore, CCDC is given the opportunity to review applications for design review and other entitlements and to submit written comment. Relative to its mission and the Boise zoning ordinance, CCDC submits supportive recommendations to the city for those projects that are consistent with adopted urban renewal plans and urban design objectives.
