portrayed as two-family dwellings, but which appear to contain multiple individual dwelling units
intended to be rented as separate dwelling units and function as multiple family dwelling units;
and
WHEREAS, these multi-family-like but portrayed as two-family dwellings appear to be
intentionally intended to avoid life safety, ADA accessibility, and off-street parking that would
otherwise be required for multi-family dwelling units to protect the safety and welfare of the
occupants of multi-family dwellings and mitigate the impacts of the use upon the surrounding
neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes that there is a need for additional housing within the City, but
finds that the need to protect the safety of the residents of these multi-family-like but portrayed as
two family dwellings and the need to mitigate their impact upon adjacent properties requires
greater regulation; and
WHEREAS, the City has identified the need to mitigate the immediate impact upon the
surrounding neighborhoods by amending certain definitions, ensuring there is adequate open
space, and requiring sufficient parking to serve each development; and
WHEREAS, during the 2026 Idaho Legislative Session, House Bill No. 583 was passed and
signed by the Governor amending Idaho Code § 67-6539, which does not permit a city to impose
different restrictions or obligations on short-term rentals than are imposed on single-family
dwellings in the city; and
WHEREAS, in order to be in compliance with House Bill No. 583 upon its effective date of July
1, 2026, the City is amending the use table to allow Bed and Breakfast Inns as a permitted use in
all zoning districts in which single-family dwellings are permitted;
WHEREAS, on May 13, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing

SECTION 5: That Title 4, Chapter 6, Section 6-2 of the Moscow City Code be, and the same is
hereby amended to read as follows:
…
Sec. 6-2.
Off-Street Parking Requirements.
A.
General Provisions: The general provisions for off-street parking and loading are as
follows:
1. The provision and maintenance of off-street parking and loading spaces is a continuing
obligation of the property owner. No building permit will be issued until plans are
presented to the City which show property that is and will remain available for
exclusive use as off-street parking and loading space. The subsequent use of property
for which the building permit is issued is subject to a condition of continued satisfaction
of the requirements of this Section.
2. A building permit shall be obtained before the construction of any off-street parking or
loading areas, or before the expansion of any existing off-street parking or loading
areas, commences. A Certificate of Occupancy will be issued only upon completion
of all improvements required herein or a temporary and conditional occupancy permit
may be issued upon the property owner entering a written agreement insuring the
completion of all required improvements within a reasonable period of time, which in
no event shall be longer than six (6) months after issuance of the temporary and
conditional certificate of occupancy. In the event that the property owner requires
additional time, the Zoning Administrator may authorize an extension up to an
additional six (6) months. Fees for plan review and inspection may be established from
time to time by the Council by resolution for parking areas not associated with a
structure requiring a building permit.
3. Application of Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements:
a. General: Unless otherwise expressly stated, the parking regulations of this Section
shall apply to all districts and all uses within zoned and unzoned areas.
b. New Structure or Use: Unless otherwise expressly stated, at the time a new
structure is erected upon a parcel, or a new use is established on a previously
undeveloped parcel, off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with the
provisions of this Section.
c. Change in Use: Unless otherwise expressly stated, when the use of the property
changes, additional off-street parking must be provided to serve the new use only
when the number of parking spaces required for the new use exceeds by more than
ten percent (10%) the number of spaces required for the lawful use that most
recently occupied the building, based upon the Off-Street Parking Schedule of this
Section. In other words, a one hundred ten percent (110%) “credit” is given to the
most recent lawful use of the property for the number of parking spaces that would
be required under this Section, regardless of whether such spaces are actually
provided. Any new spaces that are required shall be provided in accordance with
the provisions of this Section. When the number of parking spaces required for the
new use exceeds (by more than ten percent [10%] the number of spaces required
for the use that most recently occupied the property, additional parking spaces are
required only to make up the difference between the amount of parking required
## Page 24
ORDINANCE 2026-__
AMENDING MCC T4 C1,3,4 & 6
PAGE 23 OF 36
for the previous use and the amount of parking required for the new use, based on
the standards of this Section.
d. Expansion or Enlargement: Unless otherwise expressly stated, whenever an
existing building or use is enlarged or expanded to include additional dwelling
units, floor area, seating capacity, employees, or other units of measurement used
for establishing off-street parking requirements, the provisions of this Section shall
apply. In the case of enlargements or expansions triggering requirements for
additional parking, additional off-street parking spaces are required only to serve
the enlarged or expanded area, not the entire building or use. There is no
requirement to address lawfully existing parking deficits. Additional off-street
parking spaces are required only when existing development is enlarged or
expanded in any way that results in more than a ten percent (10%) increase in the
total number of off-street parking spaces required for the development, based upon
the provisions of this Section.
e. Other Parking Areas: All new parking areas or additions to existing parking areas,
whether or not their construction is required by the Off-Street Parking Schedule,
shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
f. Alterations: Alterations may be made to parking lots where such alterations are
made in conformance with the provisions of this Section. Alterations may be made
to nonconforming lots where there is no reduction in the number of parking spaces
provided; or there may be a reduction in the number of spaces where the alterations
are directed toward bringing the parking area into compliance with the landscaping
and/or design requirements of this Section.
g. Maintenance: Routine maintenance of parking facilities shall be permitted and no
building permit shall be required for such maintenance.
4. The required number of parking spaces shall be available for the parking of passenger
automobiles for residents, customers, patrons, and employees and shall be in addition
to spaces used for storage of vehicles or materials, or for the parking of vehicles used
in conducting the business or use.
5. A plan, drawn to scale, indicating how the off-street parking and loading requirements
are to be met, shall accompany an application for a building permit. Such plan shall
show all elements necessary to determine that the requirements of this Section are being
met, including the following:
a. Individual parking and loading spaces.
b. Circulation area necessary to serve spaces.
c. Access to streets and property to be served.
d. Curb cuts.
e. Areas reserved for landscaping, types of plants and any other materials or
improvements required for landscaping.
f. Dimensions, continuity and substance of fencing or other types of screening.
g. Grading, surfacing, drainage and subgrading details.
h. Obstacles, if any, to parking and traffic circulation in the finished parking area.
i. Specifications for signs, bumper guards and markings to identify individual spaces.
j. Traffic control devices and signage.
k. Other pertinent details.
6. Design requirements for parking lots:
## Page 25
ORDINANCE 2026-__
AMENDING MCC T4 C1,3,4 & 6
PAGE 24 OF 36
a. Parking lots and their associated driveways and vehicle maneuvering areas shall
have plant mix asphaltic concrete of two inch (2”) thickness with six inches (6”) of
crushed rock base, or Portland cement concrete of four inch (4”) thickness with four
inch (4”) crushed rock base surfaces, or an alternative surface of similar durability
and utility, approved by the City Engineer. These standards are designed for
passenger vehicles and may not support heavy truck traffic and/or loading.
b. Parking lots and required interior landscaping shall be contained by a curb which
is at least four inches (4”) high and which is set back a minimum of two feet (2’)
from the property line and from exterior landscaping, except where the parking
spaces are provided for single family dwellings.
c. Individual parking spaces shall be permanently marked to allow users to adequately
identify the required individual spaces, except where the spaces are provided for
single family or two (2) family dwellings.
d. Parking lots and spaces shall be designed such that their use will not require backing
movements or other maneuvering within a street right of way. Parking spaces
provided for single family and two (2) family dwellings are exempt from this
requirement, unless the street being accessed is a designated arterial street or there
is more than one (1) detached single-family dwelling or two (2) family dwelling
upon a single lot. The continuation, alteration, expansion, relocation, re-
construction, or replacement of a single or a two (2) family dwelling, for which the
parking requires backing or maneuvering within a designated arterial street right-
of-way, shall be allowed where such situation existed prior to May 1, 2003,
notwithstanding the nonconformity regulations of this Zoning Code. Additional
parking required as a result of the expansion, alteration, reconstruction, or re-
placement of any such two (2) family dwelling shall meet the parking design
standards required at the time of the building permit application. Where backing
movements are proposed within an alley right-of-way, a sidewalk with a minimum
width of three feet (3’) shall be provided adjacent to the parking lot between the
parking lot and the use served by the parking lot.
e. Parking lots and spaces shall be designed such that a vehicle shall not be required
to cross another parking space to gain access to a required parking space (tandem
configuration) except for parking spaces serving single-family, two (2) family,
twinhome, and townhouse dwellings. Parking serving more than one (1) detached
single-family dwelling or two (2) family dwelling upon a single lot shall not be
permitted to be tandem, except as provided below. Tandem parking may be allowed
for multi-family dwellings or more than one (1) detached single-family dwelling or
two (2) family dwelling upon a single lot under the following conditions:
i. The purpose of the parking design is to provide enclosed garages for the multi-
family dwelling resident use;
ii. The tandem parking spaces (the parking space within the garage and in front of
the garage) are assigned and furnished for use by the occupants of a single-
family dwelling unit without separate, additional compensation; and
iii. No more than fifty percent (50%) of the required parking may be provided in a
tandem configuration.
f. Service drives to off-street parking areas shall be designed to provide maximum
safety for vehicles and pedestrians. Multi-family, commercial and institutional use
## Page 26
ORDINANCE 2026-__
AMENDING MCC T4 C1,3,4 & 6
PAGE 25 OF 36
buildings shall provide a sidewalk connecting the public street to the building
entrance. Where multiple street frontages exist, only one (1) such sidewalk
connection shall be required to be provided from one (1) street frontage. Where
multiple buildings exist within the same development site and there exists vehicular
access from one (1) parking area to another, only one (1) such sidewalk connection
per building shall be required to be provided from one (1) street frontage. Where
any such sidewalk is interrupted by a driveway or traffic aisle, a pedestrian
crosswalk shall be clearly marked on the driving and walking surface. The number
of service drives shall be limited to the minimum that will accommodate anticipated
traffic. Minimum width of service drives, including alleys where used for backing
or other maneuvering in parking lots, shall be in accordance with traffic aisle widths
provided in Figure 1.
g. Parking areas with one hundred fifty (150) or more spaces shall include pedestrian
walkways or other such facilities to ensure the safe passage of pedestrian traffic
through the parking area.
7. Each off-street parking space shall be designed to conform to the City Parking Lot
Standards, as set forth in Figure 1 (following Section 4 6 2 D.).
B.
Location: Off-street parking spaces for single and two (2) family dwellings shall be located
on the same lot or on a lot adjacent to the use to be served. For all other uses, the Zoning
Administrator may approve off-street parking spaces not located on the same lot or on a
lot adjacent to the use to be served. The distance between an off-street parking space and/or
lot and the use the parking is to serve shall be measured as the safe walking distance from
the nearest parking space and/or lot to the nearest point of the use it is to serve. The
maximum distance between the parking space and/or lot and the use it is to serve shall be
as follows:
1.
For all residential uses other than single and two (2) family dwellings, two hundred
fifty feet (250’).
2.
For uses other than those specified above, five hundred feet (500’).
C.
Special Circumstances: Deviations from the parking standards stated herein may be
allowed in the following instances: (1) joint use, and (2) on appeal, uses not specified.
1. Joint Use: The Zoning Administrator may authorize the joint use of parking spaces
and/or lots, provided:
a. The applicant demonstrates that there is no substantial conflict between the
principal operating hours of the building, structure or use for which the joint use of
parking spaces and/or lots is proposed.
b. The parking spaces and/or lots for such proposed joint use is not farther than five
hundred feet (500’) from any building it is to serve.
c. Up to eighty-five percent (85%) of the parking spaces and/or lots required by this
Section for primarily "nighttime" uses such as theaters, bowling alleys, bars,
restaurants and related uses, may be supplied by certain other types of buildings or
uses herein referred to as "daytime" uses such as banks, offices, retail personal

bicycle racks that meet the bicycle support and locking requirements contained
herein.
c. Bicycle Rack Location and Lighting. Bicycle racks shall be placed as close to
the primary building entrance(s) as possible in a convenient location that is clearly
visible and well lit for ease of use and to provide protection against vandalism
and theft. Bicycle racks should not be placed so as to block an entrance or inhibit
pedestrian flow in or out of a building.

F.
Landscaping Requirements:
1.
Purpose: The purpose of these landscaping requirements is to promote the general
welfare of the public by: reducing noise levels and glare; filtering stormwater runoff;
reducing the urban heat island effect; filtering vehicular emissions; stabilizing soils
to help with erosion and flood control; providing shade to users of the parking lots;
promoting safety by directing traffic circulation; promoting attractive off-street
vehicular parking areas in the City; and protecting and improving the appearance,
character and value of the surrounding properties and neighborhoods. This objective
is to be accomplished by providing external landscape buffers between parking areas
and adjoining land uses and by providing landscape islands in the interior of parking
lots. Native plantings and xeriscaping are encouraged for water savings, reduced
maintenance, reduction in fertilizers and pesticides, increased pollination, and a
reduction in yard waste.
2.
Application: Landscaping is required as herein described for all off-street parking
lots containing five (5) or more parking spaces.
3.
Placement of Landscaping in Off-Street Parking Lots:
a. Required Exterior Landscaping: Landscaping shall be provided between off-
street parking lots and abutting public rights-of-way and adjacent properties. The
buffer strip in which the landscaping is provided shall be a minimum of three feet
(3’) in width and shall contain:
i. One (1) tree of one and one-half inch (1.5”) caliper every forty (40) lineal feet
## Page 36
ORDINANCE 2026-__
AMENDING MCC T4 C1,3,4 & 6
PAGE 35 OF 36
ii. One (1) shrub of at least one (1) gallon in size for perennial and at least two
(2) gallons in size for deciduous or evergreen, every six feet (6’). Such
shrubs, upon maturity, shall provide visual relief of a minimum of three feet
(3’) in height and fifty percent (50%) shall be evergreen.
iii. Consideration shall be given to the selection of trees and shrubs that at
maturity do not present vehicular sight obstructions at driveway / street
intersections.
b. Required Interior Landscaping: Parking lots containing thirty (30) or more
parking spaces shall include interior landscaping. Multiple parking lots on a
single property are counted separately for the purpose of interior landscaping.
The Zoning Administrator may determine that parking lots that are separate, but
connected by travel aisles, may still be counted separately for the purpose of
interior landscaping requirements. Interior parking lot landscaping shall be in the
form of landscaped islands that comply with the following requirements:
i. Landscape islands shall have a minimum width of eight feet (8’), as measured
inside of perimeter curbing, and a length equivalent to the adjacent parking
spaces.
ii. There shall be one (1) island for every twelve (12) parking spaces, evenly
distributed in the parking lot.
iii. The landscape islands shall be protected by curbing and shall contain:
(a) One (1) tree of one and one-half inch (1.5”) caliper;
(b) Low shrubs of at least one (1) gallon in size for perennial and at least two
(2) gallons in size for deciduous or evergreen; and
(c) Vegetative ground cover.
iv. Landscape islands adjacent to a double row of parking spaces, as shown in
Figure 3 below, shall contain two (2) trees of one and one-half inch (1.5”)
caliper.
v. Consideration shall be given to the selection of trees and shrubs that at
maturity will not interfere with parking lot lighting or present vehicular sight
obstructions.
vi. The Zoning Administrator may authorize the relocation of a parking lot tree
to another parking lot landscape area if such tree is deemed to interfere with
parking lot lighting or vehicular sight distances.
