A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR KLING
Recently we provided an opportunity for the community to share feedback on current housing-related items as well as itemize priorities for future residential development in Nampa.

The survey was open for almost a month and we received 892 responses - thank you to everyone who shared their comments.

Last night the Nampa City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission held an open workshop to review the survey results and discuss how your feedback can inform code changes in the future. There is a lot of information to go through (the binder we received last night was over 550 pages and nearly two inches thick) and I would like to commend our staff who has worked diligently on this large project which is important to our community. No decisions were made at the workshop as the intent was to allow Nampa City Council and the Planning & Zoning Commission an opportunity to discuss and consider how to move forward through open dialogue. The public will be given an opportunity for further input in the next couple of months.

Please know:

  • We realize growth is a concern and are working to address it. There are legal and ordinance matters to be considered as we address growth and before changes can be presented before Planning & Zoning and Nampa City Council for a vote.
  • We are reviewing codes and ordinances which need to be updated to align with our community feedback.
  • Your feedback is valued and appreciated - we will continue to ask for your input.

I heard it shared recently that 'trying to stop growth is like trying to stop a waterfall by putting your hand underneath it.' While we (Nampa City Council, Planning & Zoning and myself as Mayor) can't fully stop growth, we are actively discussing solutions and hope you will continue to join us in these important future decisions.
-Mayor Debbie Kling
