WHEREAS, the City has received building permits for the construction of buildings that are 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 upon the amendments contained herein and recommended approval to the City Council; and 

WHEREAS, on _______________, 2026, the City Council conducted a public hearing and considered and adopted the amendments contained herein;

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.
General Provisions:  The general provisions for off-street parking and loading are as follows:
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.
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.
Application of Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements:
General:  Unless otherwise expressly stated, the parking regulations of this Section shall apply to all districts and all uses within zoned and unzoned areas.
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.
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 for the previous use and the amount of parking required for the new use, based on the standards of this Section.
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.
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.
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.
Maintenance:  Routine maintenance of parking facilities shall be permitted and no building permit shall be required for such maintenance.
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.
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:
Individual parking and loading spaces.
Circulation area necessary to serve spaces.
Access to streets and property to be served.
Curb cuts.
Areas reserved for landscaping, types of plants and any other materials or improvements required for landscaping.
Dimensions, continuity and substance of fencing or other types of screening.
Grading, surfacing, drainage and subgrading details.
Obstacles, if any, to parking and traffic circulation in the finished parking area.
Specifications for signs, bumper guards and markings to identify individual spaces.
Traffic control devices and signage.
Other pertinent details.
Design requirements for parking lots:
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.  
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.
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.
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.  
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:
The purpose of the parking design is to provide enclosed garages for resident use;
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 dwelling unit without separate, additional compensation; and
No more than fifty percent (50%) of the required parking may be provided in a tandem configuration.
Service drives to off-street parking areas shall be designed to provide maximum safety for vehicles and pedestrians.  Multi-family, commercial and institutional use 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.
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.
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.).
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:
For all residential uses other than single and two (2) family dwellings, two hundred fifty feet (250’).
For uses other than those specified above, five hundred feet (500’).
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.
Joint Use:  The Zoning Administrator may authorize the joint use of parking spaces and/or lots, provided:
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.
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.
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 service shops, clothing, food, furniture, manufacturing or wholesale and related uses. 
Up to eighty-five percent (85%) of the parking spaces and/or lots required by this Section for primarily "daytime" uses may be supplied by "nighttime" uses.
Up to one hundred percent (100%) of the parking spaces and/or lots required by this Section for a church or for an auditorium incidental to a public or parochial school, may be supplied by the off-street parking spaces and/or lots provided by uses primarily of a "daytime" nature.
The parties concerned in the joint use of off-street parking spaces and/or lots shall submit a written agreement for such joint use in a form to be recorded, which shall be approved by the City Attorney as to form and content.  Such agreement, when approved by the Zoning Administrator as conforming to the provisions of this Section, shall be recorded in the office of the Latah County Recorder and copies thereof filed with the Clerk.
Uses Not Specified:  In the case of a use not specifically mentioned in this Section, the requirements for off-street parking spaces and/or lots shall be determined by the City.  Such determination shall be based upon the requirements for uses which have similar parking demand-generating characteristics.  The determination of the City may be appealed to the Board of Adjustment by an aggrieved person.
Mixed Use:  In the case of mixed uses, the total requirements for the various uses shall be computed separately.  Off-street parking spaces and/or lots for such uses shall not be considered for joint use.  Total requirements for off-street parking spaces shall be the sum of the requirements for the various uses.

Off-Street Parking Schedule:  Parking spaces required for designated uses in all zoning districts, except within Section 4-6-5(E)(4) below, are established as follows:
Compact Spaces:  An allowance of thirty five percent (35%) of the total number of spaces required may be identified and used as compact car spaces.  These spaces shall be conveniently located and provided with adequate signage.
Fractional Requirements:  Fractional requirements shall require one (1) space.    
Area Calculation:  Except as otherwise indicated, area measurements are given in gross floor area.  Restroom facilities and areas used for storage may be excluded from the floor area calculation.
4.	Bedroom Calculation: Any separate room which meets the definition of bedroom, which could legally be used as a bedroom, regardless of whether such room is labeled as a den, study, office, or similar, shall be counted as a bedroom for the purposes of parking calculation. Rooms that meet the definition of a bedroom which are separated by a narrow corridor that could allow for the separation of the areas into individual bedrooms shall each be counted as a bedroom for the purposes of parking calculation. 
Specific Zone Exemptions:  The following zoning districts have off-street parking requirements specific to each respective zone and are not required to meet Section 4-6-5(E)(6) below; however, all other provisions of Section 4-6-5 shall apply. 
Central Business (CB) Zoning District:  Off-street parking is not required within the CB Zoning District.
Urban Mixed Commercial Zoning District Required Off-Street Parking:
Minimum Required.
Maximum Allowed Off-Street Parking.  The maximum allowed off-street surface parking shall be limited to no more than one hundred percent (100%) of the minimum parking required as specified within the minimum required parking table of Section 4-6-5(E)(6) of this Code.  Parking within parking structures or placed under structures shall not be counted toward the maximum allowed off-street parking limitation.
University Zoning District.  Off-street parking is not required within the U Zoning District since the University of Idaho manages parking on campus through the Parking and Transportation Services Department.



| Use of Building or Site | Minimum Number of Automobile Parking Spaces Required |
|---|---|
| Residential Uses | 50% of the minimum parking required by this Code |
| Hotels | 1 per room |
| Convention/Meeting Spaces | 1 per 10 fixed seats and 1 per each 100 sf of assembly space without fixed seating |
| Office, Retail, and Other Uses | No minimum parking specified |



Accessibility:  Where off-street parking is required for multi-family residential, commercial, or institutional uses, accessible parking and access shall be provided in accordance with the most recent standards promulgated by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the most recently adopted building code.  The van accessible space detail, standard accessible space detail, accessible sign detail, and the number of accessible spaces required are shown in Figure 2 below.  The most recently adopted ANSI and building code requirements shall take precedence over Figure 2 in the circumstance where there are differing standards.

**  Exempt from having to meet minimum number of off-street parking spaces, if requirement would result in five (5) or fewer such spaces.  

Bicycle Parking Incentive:  The total number of required automobile parking spaces for all uses other than single family and two (2) family dwellings may be reduced by ten percent (10%) if bicycle parking is provided in accordance with the following standards:
Required Bicycle Spaces:  The total number of bicycle parking spaces must be equal to four (4) times the total number of reduced automobile parking spaces.
Approved Bicycle Rack Types.  All required bicycle parking support racks shall be of the ‘A’, inverted ‘U’ or modified ‘U’ (or equivalent) style, or a bicycle locker or other storage device which;
support[s] the bicycle in an upright position by the bicycle frame in a minimum of two (2) locations; 
prevent[s] the wheel of the bicycle from tipping over; and 
enable[s] the locking of the frame and one (1) or both wheels.
All bike racks or bike lockers shall be securely anchored in the ground.  Nothing within this Section is intended to preclude opportunities for creative and artistic bicycle racks that meet the bicycle support and locking requirements contained herein.
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.  
Bicycle Rack Sheltering.  No less than twenty-five percent (25%) of bicycle racks serving commercial or institutional uses, and no less than fifty percent (50%) of bicycle racks serving multi-family residential uses, shall be placed under building overhangs, awnings, free-standing shelter structures, or similar structures that protect the entire bicycle parking space from precipitation.
Bicycle Rack Spacing and Area.  The minimum bicycle parking space shall be twenty four inches (24”) wide by seventy two inches (72”) long.  Spacing between bicycle racks shall be no less than forty eight inches (48”).  Where multiple rows of bicycle racks are installed, a center access aisle of no less than forty eight inches (48”) shall be provided.  Bicycle racks shall be placed no closer than twenty four (24”) from any adjacent building wall or other obstruction.
Landscaping Requirements:
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.
Application:  Landscaping is required as herein described for all off-street parking lots containing five (5) or more parking spaces.
Placement of Landscaping in Off-Street Parking Lots:
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:
One (1) tree of one and one-half inch (1.5”) caliper every forty (40) lineal feet
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. 
Consideration shall be given to the selection of trees and shrubs that at maturity do not present vehicular sight obstructions at driveway / street intersections.  
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:
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.  
There shall be one (1) island for every twelve (12) parking spaces, evenly distributed in the parking lot. 
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. 
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.
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. 
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.
